Yun Sheng walked satisfied out of the magic appliances shop.
As for the eight gold coins, they had been solved with dozens of bottles of magic medicine.
Yun Sheng didn't expect her father to also be a wolf with a harmless appearance and a dark heart inside.
When they left Jiao Ye Village, he did not forget to remove all the magic potions of the Magic Temple before he burned it down.
In Yun Canghai's words, Yang Magician wasn't a good person either. He had wanted something for himself without paying for it, so he took some to settle his (Yang Magician) debt.
In addition to the eight gold coins needed to buy the scepter, there were also three more gold coins in the purse of the father and daughter, which could be regarded as a fortune for them.
With these gold coins, Yujing City could be reached smoothly. Yun Sheng's small face was full of smiles. She was so happy that when Yun Canghai and her entered a restaurant and he ordered a table of food for them she had even forgotten to stop him.
Seeing his daughter's happy face, Yun Canghai was also full of laughter. His daughter was his everything, in fact the man was clever, meaning, he too was cautious about money.
"Let's not go to Yujing City first, you still don't have a Soulstone on your magic scepter. We will drop by Yue Wu Mountain to find a demon beast Soulstone of about 20 to 50 years for you, " Unlike magic scepter, Soulstones couldn't be preserved for a long time and were rare, so they were a lot more expensive, the Yun father and daughter couldn't afford them.
On the Wu Ji Continent, most magicians would hunt their Soulstones themselves, but some children of powerful families would rely on their family to hunt some advanced demon beast to obtain their Soulstones.
Yun Canghai had intended to help Yun Sheng buy a magic scepter, but since Yun Sheng had now decided on the path of a magician, she would have to rely on her own strength.
Knowing she would have to hunt a demon beast by herself, Yun Sheng didn't show any surprise. After all she had already hunted Willow Green Snakes in the mountain forest in Jiao Ye Village.
However, Yun Sheng far underestimated the demon beasts of Yue Mountains. She didn't know that the lowest level demon beast in Yue Mountain Range was similar to the Golden Rhino Pig. A low-level demon beast like the Willow Green Snake couldn't survive there.
The father and daughter slept in Qicheng for one night, and as the sun announced the next day they set of. They travelled to Yue Wu Mountains, which was more than thirty miles away from Qicheng.
***
The Yue Wu Mountain Range was the closest demon beast hunting area to Qicheng, and also a small and famous demon beast ridge in the Great Zhou Empire.
Since ancient times, human magicians and warriors had hunted demon beast in order to gain great strength.
For a period of time, the hunted demon beasts retaliated. They were led by a powerful 100,000- year- old King demon beast, and launched an attack at the greedy humans.
In order to survive, the strongest humans were forced to unite. They opened cities, land, and established countries.
After countless bloody battles, the powerhouses of humanity sealed the eight most powerful Master demon beasts of that time, killing countless demon beasts and higher ranked Soldier demon beasts.
The surviving demon beasts fled into the deep forests, lakes and valleys, and other unknown places.
In order to ensure the safety of the ordinary civilians, each country would station troops in cities near demon beast gathering places.
Yue Wu Mountain was such a gathering place for demon beasts.
Only magicians, warriors and summoners could enter these places with warrants of countries, Magic Temples, and the Mercenary Union.
***
After walking for one day and one night, Yun Sheng finally saw a half-moon shaped mountain range.
Yue Wu Mountain was an ancient forest covering thousands of acres, where various herbs and mid-level demon beast dwell.
Before she could enter the mountains, Yun Sheng could see a market.
She didn't expect that there would be a market at the outskirts of such a barren mountain forest.
"This is Yue Wu Market, a place specially provided for mercenaries, magicians, warriors and some medical practitioners, who enter the forest to collect and sell materials. Before we enter Yue Wu Forest, we should first buy some supplies. We might have to stay in the forest for a long time, before we find a suitable Soulstone for you," Yun Canghai bought some antidote, insect repellent powder, a few pieces of flint and about twenty litres of wine.
When she saw the wine, Yun Sheng pressed her lips together, even at this time her father was thinking about wine.
Yun Canghai smiled helplessly, and explained self-deprecating : "You know your father can't live without wine."
At this moment Yun Sheng made a promise in her heart, after she had obtained a suitable Soulstone in Yue Wu Mountain, and she returned to Yujing City, she would stop her father's drinking habit and help him become a great magician again.
While walking a group of hunters passed them.
The team consisted of seven or eight male warriors and two female magicians.
They were dressed differently from the other hunters. They were all equipped with the same armor.
Yun Sheng's gaze was aimed at the two female magicians, one seemed to be about her age, around eight to nine years old.
She wore a magnificent robe that was also decorated by the badge of a magician, and in her hand, she held a magic scepter made out of a thirty-year-old bone.
The magic scepter wasn't inlaid with any Soulstones. It seemed like she came to find her first Soulstone.
The other members of the team were around Martial Artist level, and the one leading them was actually a Martial Master.
As for the other, middle-aged female magician in the team she wore the conspicuous badge of a Great Magician.
Her magic scepter was inlaid with two blue Soulstones, seemingly water attribute Great Magician.
Such a team may be nothing much in a place like Yujing City, but suddenly appearing in Yue Wu Mountain, it was a luxury lineup. Needless to say, it had to be a small family trying to hunt a suitable demon beast.
Along the way, the other groups avoided the team, hoping not to offend them.
Yun Canghai didn't react in any way, and just continued laughing and talking with his daughter
Yun Sheng had now been on the Wu Ji Continent for about six years, but it was the first time she could be so happily together with her father. But precisely this caused the young magician to watch them endlessly.
After she had stolen a few glances at the father and daughter, and seeing their shabby appearance, she pinched her nose coquettishly and said with disgust: " Smelly beggars, Uncle Chi Wu, didn't you say Yue Wu Mountain was the area with the most demon beasts? How come even beggars can enter them?"
