Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor

"The situation in Great Zhou is very complex. It is said that the current Emperor of Great Zhou was once just a prince who was out of favor. He relied on the help of forces behind him and signed an agreement with the Magic Temple. The specifics of this agreement are unknown to outsiders, but in essence, it involves the Magic Temple selecting the future heir to Great Zhou," Zong Ren is a Free Summoner who often travels across the continent and is of advanced age, so he knows many things that Yun Sheng does not.

The complexity of Great Zhou City does not stop there; within the city exists the special presence of the Medicine Emperor Pavilion.

It would be somewhat difficult for the Magic Temple to take direct control.

With another thought, Yun Sheng realized why Great Zhou, a nation governed by martial prowess, would choose a mage like Crown Prince Ye Beilian as its heir.

Although Ye Beiming practiced Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts, his unique Magic Soul attribute was clearly also a factor that made the Magic Temple cautious of him.

Rather than choosing a strong heir with immense potential, they would prefer to control a puppet Crown Prince with poor talent and intellect.

The Magic Temple planned to control Great Zhou City, a vassal country of the Hunter Soldier Alliance, by supporting a new Emperor of Great Zhou from behind the scenes.

"So, Crown Prince Ye Beilian can't die? This isn't entirely bad news; otherwise, if he died, we wouldn't be able to escape involvement when the responsibility of the Sky Hunting Corps was questioned," Yun Sheng thought to herself.

"Even if he cannot die, that waste will not gain any real benefits. Heh, the fall I gave him, even if he could be healed with Light Magic, his magic cultivation will only ever reach that of a Great Magic Director," Zong Ren said with a sinister laugh.

He casually took out the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng he had extorted, "Young Master, I know for sure you must have collected the Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng, which is extremely valuable, so save it for a life-saving moment. See if you can use this Six-leaf Purple Ginseng to try and make a few Elixirs for me?"

Zong Ren had signed a Master-Servant Contract with Yun Sheng primarily because his life was nearing its end, and he urgently needed the Purple Ginseng Golden Pill to extend his life.

"No problem, I will start the alchemy today. However, I have a request: while I am in the midst of alchemy, you will guard me. From now on, you will be a member of the Sky Hunting Corps," Yun Sheng realized after this Hunter Soldier mission just how dangerous both the Hunter Soldier World and the continent are.

The Sky Hunting Corps has a decent combined strength, but the Hunter Soldiers within the corps are all Martial Artists, mostly of soldier origin, and are inflexible in their ways.

As for Yun Sheng herself, tied up by the constraints of Little Ci'en Hall and Wuxuan Wuji Hall, she cannot systematically train that group of Hunter Soldiers.

Her second uncle's hand also still needs treatment, and the Sky Hunting Corps urgently needs a master to boost their strength right now.

Despite his eccentric nature, Zong Ren, under the intimidation of being a "Summon Emperor" level expert, is unlikely to harbor a double heart in the short term.

His presence, alongside his Ninth-level Demon Beast, the Eagle Claw Bat King, will instantly elevate the status of the Sky Hunting Corps.

Yun Sheng even considers letting Zong Ren be stationed permanently with the Hunting Corps in the future.

Zong Ren agreed without a second word.

Yun Sheng immediately called for Yun Cang Lang.

Yun Cang Lang had already learned the details of Yun Sheng's trip to Hou Qin from a few Hunter Soldiers.

Upon hearing the news, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Yun Sheng.

"This young girl, has she really eaten the guts of an ambitious leopard? Those lads led by Zhou Quan, who failed to report the news, have already been flogged twenty times by me!" Yun Cang Lang said as he pulled Yun Sheng in front of him.

He meticulously examined her from front to back, left to right, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Seeing the anxious look on her second uncle's face, Yun Sheng felt a surge of warmth.

"Second Uncle, you shouldn't have punished Zhou Quan and the others. They did well this time. I went to Hou Qin to find Six-leaf Purple Ginseng. With it, your hand might be saved," Yun Sheng said, taking out that Six-leaf Purple Ginseng. She plans to test making Elixirs with the Six-leaf Purple Ginseng she got from the Luoxia City Lord Mansion first.

After all, that Nine-leaf Purple Ginseng that had endured the Heavenly Tribulation was too precious.

It was nearly her life that she exchanged for it.

"You... you sought the Purple Ginseng to treat your second uncle's illness... Foolish child, it's alright if this hand of mine remains untreated. If something were to happen to you, how could I ever explain it to your elder brother," Yun Canglang was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Second Uncle, I'm starting alchemy today, and I want you to stay with me in seclusion inside the Medicine Hall. The medicinal effects of the elixir will be best as soon as it's refined. I've asked Que'er to join us, and I want to combine the Emperor's Song to heal you as well," Yun Sheng had already ordered Zongren to protect them discreetly.

She had also entrusted the Vice Hall Director Zhan Li with the task of looking after the Sky Hunting Corps during this period.

Hence, the uncle and niece duo began their days of seclusion in the Medicine Hall.

Before they knew it, three days had passed.

Atop the roof of the Medicine Hall, Zongren was listlessly looking around with his Bat King, being responsible for keeping watch while Yun Sheng refined the elixir.

At that moment, Zongren felt a faint light flickering on the roof.

The light on the rooftop grew increasingly intense.

Initially indifferent, Zongren was soon nearly unable to open his eyes due to the dazzling light.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was a glow resembling dawn.

It was only two to three in the afternoon, far from sunset, so where did this glow come from?

"Eh, what's going on here?" Zongren marveled, "Old buddy, shall we go down and check it out?"

Zongren patted his summoned beast, and the Bat King took flight toward the direction of the Medicine Hall.

Who knew that, only halfway through the flight, the bat suddenly felt dizzy, its wings folded, and it nearly crashed down from the rooftop.

The cause of the Bat King's dizziness was an aroma that was as rich as fine wine, growing more and more intense.

Zongren called back the Bat King and cautiously observed the purple light.

Above the rooftop, that swath of purple light seemed to be striving for the heavens.

The intangible and vibrant purple light, with a dawn-like glow, hovered above the Medicine Hall, slowly spreading outwards.

From one to three to four li, it didn't stop until it had dyed the entire sky above the Wu Xuan Wuji Pavilion in a sea of purple light.

Zongren was astonished, but as a once-dominant summoner on the continent, after a bit of thought and considering that the purple light appeared simultaneously with the rich fragrance of medicine, he realized something.

"This must surely be a sign of the imminent formation of the Purple Ginseng Golden Pill! The young master has indeed succeeded in refining it. Such a peculiar sight must at least be that of a Holy-grade Elixir," Zongren now understood that after three days of alchemy, Yun Sheng had finally refined the Purple Ginseng Golden Pill.

It is said that whenever a Holy-grade Elixir appears, miraculous signs of the elixir will emerge, and this purple light must be the sign of the Purple Ginseng Golden Pill's formation.

That purple light shot straight into the sky, enveloping several li around, causing such a phenomenon between heaven and earth that it immediately alerted certain people inside Yujing City.

Especially within the Medicine Emperor Pavilion, several doctors who witnessed this purple Danxia also abandoned their patients and medicinal pills at hand, gathering together to discuss the purple light.
