CHAPTER 42 - PRIMARY FIRE MAGIC
Translated by Luxican
From Magic Novices to Magicians, the biggest difference would be that Magicians could turn the magic elements into magic attacks.
Yun Sheng had not forged her magic scepter yet. She only acquired the magic wand of Yang Magician. Unfortunately, that scepter could only be used by a Great Magician, and the magic attributes were also not a match.
Fortunately, for primary magic it wasn't necessary to have a scepter. You only need to be proficient enough, and chant properly.
Yun Canghai was a fire magician, but he also knew a lot about the other magic attributes.
The more advanced the magician, the shorter the chanting time, and the faster the magic element recovery.
Yun Canghai's teaching would begin with the fire magic he was best at.
At this time the father and daughter pair went into the secluded woods, as there were no villages or dwellings nearby for them to settle down. So, Yun Canghai decided to sleep out in the wild tonight.
She saw Yun Canghai's lips move slightly, and a beautiful ball of fire levitated in the air like a meteor.
As the fire burned, the coldness of the night was slowly dispersed.
"It's amazing!" Yun Sheng cheered.
But the next moment, Yun Canghai's words made her dazed. "This one's mine. If you want to keep yourself warm, you could make some yourself."
Yun Sheng picked up a few dry wood sticks, remembered what Yun Canghai had just chanted.
She tried to concentrate the red magic elements in her hands.
But when she tried to condense the fire magic elements into a ball and eject it, the elements immediately burst apart and turned into a cloud of smoke.
The night was getting darker and darker, Yun Canghai was baking dry food on his bonfire, and the aroma from the hot dry food hovered in the air.
Yun Sheng felt annoyed, but she was stubborn, she would never easily ask someone for mercy, even if the other part was her father.
After repeated practice, there was still no effect.
Yun Sheng was very hungry but just sat in the darkness and meditated.
As night came, Yun Sheng kept recalling the Magic Movement of Yun Canghai.
Not far away, the bonfire, which exuded a warm breath, was flickering.
Unknown how long after that, Yun Sheng felt her fingertips grow warmer and warmer. Following the path of her consciousness, the fire magic elements turned into a fist-sized fireball and rushed at the firewood.
She started a fire.
Yun Canghai nodded with satisfaction.
Yun Sheng's magic comprehension was much better than he expected. Even he, who was called the genius of the Yun Family, needed a whole day to understand the most basic fireball spell.
In the next few days of walking around, Yun Sheng became proficient in the fireball spell and also learned the most basic earth spike spell of the earth attribute.
These two were also primary spells she could even be used without a magic wand.

"In front is Qicheng City, which is a medium-sized city, a lot more prosperous than Tai Shang Town. We have spent many days out on the road already, we have to restock our supplies. We'll go into the city to buy some food and water and rest there for the night," Yun Canghai saw that his daughter was traveling without complaining, but he knew that she had suffered a lot.
Yun Sheng readily agreed.
The father and daughter pair got off the horse and entered Qicheng.
The duo had rushed all the way without grooming themselves, and looked like unkempt beggars.
Fortunately, both of them were naturally indifferent, and ignored the onlookers in the city.
After buying rations and water, they were on their way to find an inn, and passed a magic appliance shop.
This was the first time Yun Sheng had seen a shop related to magical instruments. Among them, the various magic scepters were the most noticeable.
Yun Sheng had learned the most basic fire and earth magic, but had never used a magical staff to cast magic. When she saw the magic scepters, she couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.
Yun Canghai noticed his daughter's small actions, and his eyes became loving.
"Sheng'er, you can have a magic wand, but only after you have obtained the title of Magician, then you will be eligible to wear a magic wand. There is a temple in Qicheng. After passing the assessment, your father will buy you a magic scepter as a reward," Yun Canghai said, and asked a passerby of the whereabouts of the Magic Temple of Qicheng City.
As a medium-sized city, Qicheng had a significantly bigger Magic Temple than the remote Jiao Ye Village.
The one they went to, occupied more than three acres of land. And in addition to the magic enlightenment and basic magic healing facilities that even common Magic Temples have, Qicheng's Magic Temple had one more function, which was to identify the level of magicians. Then a corresponding magic allowance could be acquired if the magicians joined the Magic Temple.
"Stop you two, what are you doing outside the Magic Temple sneaking around? If you need to see a doctor get in line," Yun Canghai had just taking Yun Sheng inside the Magic Temple only to be intercepted by a Magic Novice.
The man saw that the father and daughter were dressed in shabby cloths, looking shameful and unkempt, thinking that they were beggars trying to steal from the Magic Temple while the attention was on something else.
"I'm here to participate in a magic assessment," Yun Sheng said, and continued in the direction of the Magic Temple.
"You? Magic Assessment? Aren't you still only a Magic Novice? Still wet behind the ears and not afraid to dirty the temple grounds," the Magic Novice scorned them, wanting to drive them out.
Suddenly a fireball flew out, almost putting his hair on fire.
The Magic Novice was scared witless by the sudden flames.
Yun Canghai looked at his daughter's naughty appearance, and smilingly led Yun Sheng into the Magic Temple.
There were a lot more magicians stationed in this temple than in Jiao Ye Village's. In total there was one Great Magician and two Magicians who were in charge of the daily work, their attitude was much better than that of the unreasonable magic apprentice.
After hearing that Yun Sheng wanted to do a magic assessment, even the Great Magician came forward.
"How old are you this year? Are you sure you're here for the magician's assessment and not Magic Novice?"
Most children of her age were only magic apprentices.
" I'm six and I came to participate in the magic assessment of Magician," Yun Sheng answered with affirmation.
The Great Magician did not care enough to ask anymore than this, and just took out a magic test crystal, "You should also have participated in magic enlightenment. The methods of the magician test and the elemental appraisal are the same, but you will have to use the power of the elements to light up the magic crystal for at least half a quarter of an hour."
Then the Great Magician took out an hourglass to measure the time, and signaled for Yun Sheng to start the assessment.
T/N: I'm not really a fan of Yun Canghai, ngl
