Miracle Doctor, Wild Empress: Genius Summoner

Chapter 45 - Mysterious Magic Scepter

Translated by Luxican

While her father was talking with Mrs. Milo, Yun Sheng was looking around the shop with interest.

This small shop with narrow interior and lots of magic appliances, gave Yun Sheng the expression of a matchbox stuffed to the brim.

Different from the exquisiteness and spaciousness of other magic appliance shops, it was quite messy. Yun Sheng even saw a few brooms, forgotten in the mess.

This reminded her of the witches flying on brooms.

Throughout the shop, there was only one small aisle, you could only pass through going sideways.

By the counter, dozens of magic scepters were lying in a mess.

Several of them were covered in dust.

But Yun Sheng also found a special place. On the white painted walls, there were some explanatory diagrams of the magic scepter structure, and other knowledge about magic staffs.

Yun Sheng's understanding of magic scepter was very limited. Only three people around her had magic wands.

Her father, the village chief of Jiao Ye Village, and Yang Magician, as for Ye Beiming, although he was also a magician, she had heard that his magic scepter had been broken, so she had not seen him use it.

The magic staff structure map on the wall answered many of Yun Sheng's questions.

According to the illustration, the magic wand was crucial for the magician.

It not only helped the magician use their magic more fluently, but it was also inlaid with Soulstones with special attributes.

Moreover, the more advanced the magic scepter, the better the magic boost and magic acceleration.

The magic wand was mainly composed of two parts. One was the demon beast bone used to make the staff's body. The older the demon beast bone was, the stronger the magic of its attribute was, but it would also become more difficult to refine.

Except for the bone as the staff body, another important part of the magic scepter was the demon beast Soulstone. Yun Sheng had also heard of that earlier. The Soulstone was extremely important and a lot more expensive than the bone.

Take an advanced demon beast as an example. If it was a large demon beast, there would be several bones to make a staff body with, but the Soulstone could only ever be one.

A magic scepter could be inlaid with up to eight Soulstones to form a complete Soulstone chain.

According to the order, you could have Soulstones of 10 years, then of 50 years, 100 years, 500 years, 1,000 years, 5,000 years, 10,000 years and Soulstones of more than 10,000 years.

In ordinary magic scepter shops, the inlaid Soulstones were generally less than 500 years old, and older Soulstones had to be acquired in some larger auctions.

Leaving aside the value of the magic scepter itself, whether its power could be fully used depended on the magician.

Generally speaking, a fire magician would buy a magic scepter embedded with a fire-elemental Soulstone, which would in turn boost their fire magic.

But this common sense, could not be applied to Yun Sheng.

In this way, Yun Sheng's magic scepter would be more demanding in terms of attributes.

From Mrs. Milo's words, Yun Sheng knew that finding a magic scepter with no attributes was not easy.

Yun Canghai had also taken this into consideration, so he had chosen Mrs. Milo's shop, because he was aware if her shop didn't have it, the other shops certainly wouldn't.

Just like magicians, most of the demon beast also had attributes. So, finding one without any was really difficult.

"Is there no such magic scepter? It could also be forty years, if there isn't any fifty years one," said Yun Canghai. As a magician, he also knew how scarce the "None" attribute was.

Demon beast with the "None" attribute on the mainland, such as fantasy beasts and nebula beasts, as well as dragons, phoenixes and other top-level demon beasts, were all unavailable.

"I don't have any magic scepter of forty years. However, I have a mysterious scepter with an unknown bone of "None" attribute, which had been in my shop for decades. I haven't sold it yet, because I don't know the beast age. If the little girl is brave enough, you can try it," Mrs. Milo remembered.

The so-called mysterious bone scepter's age, could not be identified, because of unknown demon beast species.

On the Wu Ji Continent, the age of the demon beast bone was mostly determined by testing the amount of magic elements in the bone.

But for the "None" attribute demon beast, there were no magic elements, which meant it was extremely difficult to measure the age of the beast bones.

As Yun Sheng heard that her eyes turned bright.

Emperor Shen Nong Yan, not only tasted all the herbs in ancient times, but also healed all kinds of beasts and animals.

The Yan Family also inherited that knowledge, and was proficient in various veterinary diseases. They could determine the age of mammals by touching the bones, their composition and length.

"This... Sheng'er, do you want to choose a single-elemental scepter for the time being?" Yun Canghai hesitated. He was unwilling to let Yun Sheng take the risk. She could first use a single-attribute magic wand, and change it later, after all Yun Sheng was best in fire magic.

The magic scepter could't be chosen casually. If the magic scepter of indeterminate age was too old, Sheng'er wouldn't be able use it for another one or two years.

If the beast was too old, Sheng'er would not only be unable to control it, but would also be harmed by the magic scepter. The magic scepter of unknown origin was too dangerous.

"Father, Sheng'er wants to try that mysterious bone wand." Yun Sheng didn't hesitate, what she wanted was a complete elemental Magic Scepter.

Mrs. Milo nodded with satisfaction, what a firm mined child.

At her age, that was quite rare.

Yun Sheng's newborn-calf-was-not-afraid-of-the-tiger mindset, was very similar to Hu Jiusheng's. Yun Canghai sighed secretly. When Hu Jiusheng chose her magic scepter, she was also determined to choose the most suitable magic scepter.

They had traveled almost half of the Great Zhou Empire, until she had chosen one.

Mrs. Milo scratched the fat cat's neck, and the fat cat stood up slowly.

Although the cat was very fat, it was still very capable.

It slammed onto the shelf, and pushed down a long jade box from the highest shelf.

If a magic scepter was not used for a long time, it had to be stored in a jade box, otherwise the magic elements in the scepter would be lost.

"Actually, this magic scepter was not made by myself. It was sold to me by a dispirited magician. Little girl, you can try first to see if can control this magic scepter. If not, just choose another one," Mrs. Milo opened the jade box.
