Translated by Luxican

Doctor Fan was pleased to learn that Yun Sheng had successfully joined the Royal Magic Academy and had become a scholarship student of the Potion Department.
The longer he spent with Yun Sheng, the more he realized that this child was like an unpolished jade.
The miraculous way she had performed the cranial operation that day, or the talent she showed in medicine. Doctor Fan realized that his many years of experience in the field of medicine was almost a joke compared to her talent. The wish to merge ancient medicine and magic could be fulfilled by Yun Sheng easily.
"Leave your father's matter to me for now, you only need to concentrate on studying magic at the Magic Academy. Here is a book where I have accumulated all my medicine refining knowledge over the years, some recipes you can use to practice, it also contains the Dream Cloud Spell," After Doctor Fan learned that Yun Sheng would be staying at the Royal Magic Academy, He went out and bought some new clothes and shoes, he also handed Yun Sheng fifty silver coins.
Dream Cloud was a special water spell that incorporated Doctor Fan's ancient medicine knowledge and magic. It didn't have any negative side-effects, but it was easy to learn and understand, and after studying for a night, Yun Sheng had basically grasped the Dream Could Spell.
Yun Sheng didn't know that the Dream Cloud Spell was actually a really hard spell to learn, otherwise Doctor Fan wouldn't have spent more than ten years comprehending this particular magic.
However, because Yun Sheng had a five-elemental Magic Soul and her concentration was far higher than normal people, her ability to comprehend magic was far stronger than average, about ten times or even more than that.
The greatest benefit of learning the Dream Cloud Spell was that Yun Sheng unexpectedly discovered that she could use it on herself.
Under the effects of the Dream Cloud Spell, she could enter a deep meditation state anytime and anywhere. Her cultivation and magic power restoring rate were improved under it. She could even go without sleep for a night and still be in good shape.
After everything was ready, Yun Sheng was ready to head to the Royal Magic Academy. After exiting the medicine hall, Yun Sheng saw Wen Renhuo sitting on an imposing carriage outside the medical clinic.
"Small thing, I'm here to send you to the Royal Magic Academy," Wen Renhuo smiled.
The inequalities in the Royal Magic Academy, concerning the backgrounds, had long been discovered by Wen Renhuo.
He had come to pick Yun Sheng up because he wanted to show the people of the Magic Academy that Yun Sheng wasn't someone without any background, but behind her were him, Wen Renhuo and of course the Phoenix mercenary squad.
How could Yun Sheng not understand what Wen Renhuo was thinking? She felt warm in her heart.
But the carriage of Wen Renhuo was just as flashy as his person. Yun Sheng didn't like that style.
Wen Renhuo saw Xiao Hei follow Yun Sheng, and his mouth twitched. He hadn't forgotten the last time that Xiao Hei had faced Feng Kuo.
Wen Renhuo never understood how Yun Sheng, such a cute and good girl, could have such weird demon beasts. The egg that had been crying before and this little calf-like wolf-mastiff were not easy to mess with.
Not to mention, the small thing wasn't someone easy to bully.
Yun Sheng declined Wen Renhuo's good intention to pick her up, carrying her luggage, she headed to the Royal Magic Academy with Xiao Hei.

It was the second time that Yun Sheng was on the campus of the Royal Magic Academy. She hadn't been able to carefully examine the scenery and architecture within the Magic Academy the first time. Now, she finally had the chance to see the Magic Academy that the royal family of the Great Zhou Empire had heavily invested in, in detail.
The Royal Magic Academy covered a vast area, it was surrounded by small hills, forming a small natural basin.
Located in the middle of the basin, the Magic Academy was warm in spring and cool in summer, the perfect place to escape the summer heat. There were also all kinds of rare plants and flowers planted around the school. There were birds and flowers everywhere.
The architecture here also wasn't as plain as elsewhere, with pagoda-shaped stone buildings and wooden pavilions. But the most striking of all was a huge tower that stood in the central square of the school.
The appearance of the tower was similar to the Medicine Association's Tower that Yun Sheng had seen, but this tower was even taller.
The tower was built of stone and Yun Sheng noticed that various magic formations were engraved on the foundation of the tower.
Just by being close to the tower, Yun Sheng could feel the abundance of magic elements surrounding it. From a sign the name of the tower could be read "Central Magic Tower" .
The Central Magic Tower was like a huge magic array, which emitted a strong magic power.
Yun Sheng was certain that in the Central Magic Tower, the magic elements were several times more abundant than outside.
Yun Sheng was very interested in the Central Magic Tower, but since she had to go to the dormitory where the scholarship students resided and meet up with her mentor Mei Li before it got dark, Yun Sheng couldn't stay much longer.
Just as Yun Sheng turned to go directly to the dormitory, she heard a begging sound from the woods on the side.
This voice... Gu Feng!
Yun Sheng walked in the direction of the sound and saw four or five students dressed in intermediate magician's uniforms. One of them, a magician with a gold silk embroidered robe, was holding two magic scepters in each of his hands.
***
"Song Jie...that's my...magic scepter...give it back to me," Gu Feng had endured his beaten appearance as he returned to the Magic Academy, not daring to tell Mentor Mei Li about the bullying he had been subjected to, not even mentioning the fact that his new magic scepter had been taken.
But today, when Gu Feng was about to head to the Central Magic Tower to practice, he had accidentally bumped into Song Jie and a few of his friends. They were the ones who had let the horse trample over him that day.
Song Jie's hands were currently holding two magic scepters, one of which was the one that Gu Feng had just bought not long ago.
"Gu Feng, you said this broken magic scepter is yours? Then come and take it from us with your light magic, why don't you move? Do you not dare to try? If you don't dare, get down on your knees and beg Uncle Song a few times, then bark like a dog a few times and we will give it back." said Song Jie's companions, all of whom let out a loud laugh.
What Gu Feng had bought was nothing more than a magic scepter made from a ten-years-old demon beast bone, with not a single Soulstone on it. Only a poor boy like Gu Feng would hide something like this as if it was a treasure.
What academy's once-in-a-century light magician, a poor man was a poor man. Someone like that shouldn't be in the Magic Academy at all.
"You...bully...too much, I...I..." Gu Feng's hands curled into fists, a hint of red flaring in his eyes.
"What are you going to do about it? Go back to complain to Mentor Mei Li or are you going to ask that poison guy to avenge you? Don't forget, your Potion Department has always been inferior to our Magic Fighting Department. If your Mentor Mei Li didn't know how to use poison, she would have long been expelled from the Magic Academy," Song Jie's group was very young, but their hearts were already dark. They continued to insult Gu Feng while breaking his magic scepter.
Suddenly, Song Jie felt a tingling pain in the back of his head. He reflexively grabbed the hurting spot, and when he brought his hand back, he found that there was blood on it, "Which sneaky little bastard attacked me!"
"Who says that I'm sneaky, I'm openly fighting!" A small figure stepped out.
