Little Sorcerer, Divine Doctor-Chapter 731 - 224: Blood Trial

Yun Sheng felt a warm current flow through his heart as he saw Gu Feng teasing Qi, his face a picture of annoyance.

Gu Feng’s concern was evident without uttering a word, and although Qi was not eloquent, thousands of words could not compare to the practicality of a mere map.

"You two are truly my good brothers," Yun Sheng said with a smile.

Suddenly he remembered something, "It’s just a pity that this time I can’t undergo the trial with Lingling."

Donghuang Lingling had returned to the Eastern Capital ten days ago and there had been no news from her since.

"Hehe, I’ve already written to Lingling. By the time you come out from the trial, you should be able to see her reply," Gu Feng got a bit embarrassed when Donghuang Lingling was mentioned.

"Don’t worry, calculating the time, Lingling should have just arrived at the Eastern Capital, she promised to return within two months," Yun Sheng teased, noting Gu Feng’s appearance, which was truly that of a young man experiencing his first awakening to love.

The three of them chatted and laughed. At this moment, there was a raucous noise from a few tables nearby, and Yun Sheng looked over, recognizing the familiar face who had previously tried to sell her the Elite Camp rankings.

Seeing this, Gu Feng complained, "What are those guys doing, making such a ruckus? Can’t they let people eat in peace?"

"Let’s listen for a bit, it seems like they are talking about something related to Blood Refining," Yun Sheng was somewhat interested in their conversation; with her good hearing, she occasionally caught phrases about the Magic Power List and something about three days and nights.

Turns out, the tavern was bustling with discussions about the recent Magic Power List.

"Did you hear that? Li Shao was overtaken by Lan in the earlier Blood Refining."

"That old news, I’ve heard it before. With Senior Sister Lan’s momentum, she’s aiming to surpass Liu Tongtian and directly contend for the first place in the Elite Camp."

"I think it’s still mysterious, the strength of Liu Tongtian is just too strong."

"No matter what, the top 3 places of the Magic Power List are not likely to change."

"That’s not necessarily true, don’t forget, the trial for the new students is about to begin. The start of the new students’ trial signifies that there will be newcomers joining in the contention for the Magic Power List."

"I think you’ve had too much to drink. What impact can a new student make? Feng Tian has already been defeated."

"It’s possible, haven’t you heard? During the Sky Wing City trial, several new students made breakthroughs. Maybe this time, the new students will rise impressively."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, quickly shifting the topic to the new students’ Blood Refining and debating how many could survive it.

"I bet a hundred Gold Coins that 60% will make it."

"Having 50% would be good enough. I heard that recently the Beast Blood Realm has been quite restless."

However, there was one thing they all agreed upon—they all believed that Feng Tian would definitely be the first in this new students’ Blood Refining.

After listening, Yun Sheng merely laughed to himself.

A few days later, Yun Sheng went to the camp to meet with the trainees participating in the Blood Refining.

When he arrived at the gathering point, Yun Sheng saw nearly a hundred trainees and the Second Elder.

The Second Elder announced right away that he would lead this Blood Refining and also revealed the special rewards for this trial.

The new students’ Blood Refining is a big event within the Mainland Magic Elite Camp, especially this time, as the Second Elder, to encourage the newcomers, had personally put up special rewards.

The first place would receive a Soul Cleansing Pill, and the second and third places could get a High-grade Elixir each.

Hearing about the Soul Cleansing Pill, Yun Sheng paid extra attention to it.

Ever since he absorbed part of the Mysterious Stone’s energy on the Skyship last time, Yun Sheng’s Magic Soul had grown significantly, but unfortunately, he had not yet made a breakthrough.

The Soul Cleansing Pill is a unique elixir concocted by the Second Elder.

It’s not available outside, and Yun Sheng has no idea how it’s made.

Upon consumption, it can purify the Magic Soul, allowing trainees at their bottleneck to make a breakthrough in one fell swoop. For other trainees, it can stabilize their cultivation.

It seems that this time, she must obtain the elixir no matter what.

Yun Sheng thought to herself that she just needed such a Soul Cleansing Pill right now.

The victory conditions for Blood Refining are actually quite simple: one must survive three days and nights in the Dutian Beast Blood Realm and also kill as many Blood Cloud Beasts as possible.

"Depart," ordered the Second Elder, and the people entered the Teleportation Magic Array in groups of ten.

A hundred new trainees, upon stepping out of the Magic Array, found themselves in a desolate place resembling a frontier town.

Ahead, a red blood mist enveloped the area.

The perpetual winds, biting and cold, swept across the dry, brown-yellow earth, where the trees grew twisted and slanted.

Not far away lay a meandering river of sand.

The murky river water occasionally emitted a disgusting scent akin to heavy metal.

"Fellow trainees, we have now entered the gateway of the Dutian Beast Blood Realm. Ahead is the Dutian Inn named Yue Country Inn; beyond that lies the Dutian Beast Blood Realm. Over the next three days and nights, you’ll undergo Blood Refining here," said the Second Elder, leading the hundred trainees for this trial as the directing elder.

The Second Elder led the hundred trainees to the Dutian Inn to prepare for the trial.

The Dutian Inn is not large; it consists of several simple rows of residential houses.

The construction of the houses is rudimentary, barely sufficient for shelter from wind and rain.

The first row is the inn’s communication center, providing accommodation. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The second row consists of a weapon shop, a medical hall, and a general store.

Here they only have the most basic supplies and provisions. Even water is limited to only one Water Bag per person per purchase, and as for food, there is none available in the inn.

The Water Bag, said to be made from the hide of a special Demon Beast, costs as much as two hundred Gold Coins each.

They also sell some of the simplest weapons, Magic Artifacts, and Mage Robes, but the prices are several times higher than outside.

In Yun Sheng’s words, only fools would buy things here.

"One more thing: I need to remind you that time in the Dutian Beast Blood Realm flows more slowly compared to the continent, roughly at half the rate. Also, the items you brought with you, including food and certain elixirs, should preferably be left at the inn. Due to the uniqueness of the Beast Blood Realm and the heavy presence of Blood Evil Energy, it is easy to contaminate food and elixirs," the Second Elder informed everyone.

The Dutian Beast Blood Realm, due to the existence of the Dutian Blood Seal, has different day and night cycles and seasons compared to other places on the continent.

This is something the newcomers did not know in advance.

After being reminded by the Second Elder, Yun Sheng noticed that the volume of the Time Hourglass in the inn was indeed twice as large as the ones on the continent.

"Does that mean we have to stay there for six days and nights? With just a water bag and no food, how can we possibly survive?" the trainees discussed among themselves.

"There are two ways to obtain food; it depends on which one you choose," the Second Elder obviously wasn’t surprised by such questions from the trainees.

Newcomers always have to face harsh realities before they can learn how to survive in the Dutian Beast Blood Realm.

"Does anyone know what the two methods are?" the Second Elder teased, playing coy.
