Chapter 99 Phoenix City
After a series of transfers, Yunhua and his group finally arrived at the small city closest to Luofeng Mountain.
Aya disappeared as soon as she got out of the car. Before leaving, she told Yunhua to make his own arrangements and that she would contact him directly later.
During the few days they spent together, Yunhua already knew that Senior Sister Aya was a high-level mage and had been cultivating in the high-level realm for many years.
Although Aya did not reveal the specific legal system, at least one of them is from the Shadow faction, and given her years of work experience, Yunhua is not worried about her safety.
Yunhua had already learned a little about Fenglai City before setting off. Now that she saw it, it was indeed just like the information on the internet. It was an ancient town with almost no particularly tall buildings, except for a bird statue above the city gate.
There are many street vendors in the city, most of whom are concentrated at the south gate, which is the main entrance to Luofeng Mountain.
Yunhua was also drawn over. There were so many people that you couldn't see the end of the line. Some people laid out a tattered cloth and sat down to set prices, while others had set up tents that looked quite professional.
Yunhua didn't plan to go to the designated meeting point at school right away, since the requirement was to arrive within a week. He had already arrived several days early, so he could wander around here first.
Not long after Yunhua left, she saw someone selling spirit seed fragments at a nearby stall.
Although they are just fragments, they are still precious enough. After all, ten fragments are enough to try to synthesize a spirit seed. If you get lucky, you might turn a motorcycle into a luxury car.
Before Yunhua could even step forward, the fragment of the wind-elemental spirit seed was swept away. Although Yunhua felt a little regretful, he didn't dwell on it and continued to wander around and look at things.
Besides demon materials, the most common items sold at street stalls are various magical tools, which reflects the current state of most street stall businesses.
As for materials, Yunhua can buy some, but when it comes to magical tools, she would never buy them from street vendors unless she really has no money, wants to challenge herself, tries her luck, or is an inexperienced beginner.
There are no genuine products at the street stalls. The better ones you see are all second-hand, and they all have one or more defects.
Moreover, Yunhua has already added another magical artifact to Mingzhu Academy, an item that can store magical energy, called the Black Necklace.
The black necklace can store almost all the magical energy of a mid-level level 2 mage. With it, Yunhua can wear down his opponent through a prolonged battle.
For Yunhua, ordinary defensive magic tools and magic-resistant tools are unnecessary; all she needs are magic-slaying tools or magic artifacts with special functions.
After walking for a while, Yunhua was drawn to a small, bright green grass about the length of a chopstick. It had only a few relatively long, straight leaves, and apart from emitting a faint glow, it was almost indistinguishable from ordinary roadside weeds.
However, Yunhua knew that this little grass had great uses. This grass was called Spirit Liquid Grass, which was the main ingredient in low-level magic potions and was often used as an auxiliary ingredient in high-level magic potions.
The three spiritual herbs looked to be in perfect condition, with even their roots still attached to the soil. Yunhua was immediately tempted and hurriedly bought them before anyone else.
After buying the medicinal herb, Yunhua lost interest in continuing her Taobao shopping spree. She found a roadside flower shop, bought a pot, added some nutrient soil, and checked into a hotel.
Besides the three types of demon powder commonly used by hunters (demonic powder, demon-repelling powder, and demon-disrupting powder), Yunhua can currently only make the three types of poisons from Dr. Mei.
Yunhua plans to learn how to make other potions to increase her income for future expenses.
After briefly looking around the hotel rooms, Yunhua took out two wind-element magic stones he had casually bought earlier and played with them in his hands.
Magic stones are the cornerstone of modern magical civilization. Although magicians cannot use them directly, all equipment relies on these magic stones for energy.
Inside the room, Yunhua tidied up her spoils and put the spirit herb away.
Afterwards, Yunhua called Aya, but no one answered. So he sent her a text message with his address and then went to the office of Mingzhu Academy.
It was easy to find the Mingzhu Academy's office in Fenglai City. Standing outside, all you could see was an antique-style brick and wood structure.
Yunhua noticed that Fenglai City seemed to have a particular fondness for ancient architecture, with few modern tall buildings in the city. Moreover, they especially liked to leave bird and animal patterns on the buildings, and Yunhua had already seen quite a few during his rounds.
This office is the same, with a duplex-style antique courtyard and bird and animal decorations that can be seen everywhere in the courtyard.
The door was small and initially very narrow, barely allowing one person to pass through, but once inside, it opened up into a bright and spacious area.
As Yunhua stepped across the threshold, she was greeted by a lush courtyard with verdant trees and shrubs. Behind it lay a sizable pond, surrounded by man-made irrigation ditches, a truly delightful sight.
Yunhua quickly found the resident teacher here, an old monk with a long beard and white hair.
"Hello, I'm here to report for duty."
"Oh, let me see your student ID." The long-bearded teacher stroked his beard and calmly operated the computer with his finger.
After taking Yunhua's student ID and seeing the name on it, the long-bearded teacher exclaimed "Eek!"
"So it's you! Old Xiao mentioned you to me before!" The long-bearded teacher looked Yunhua up and down with great interest, but what he said made Yunhua's scalp tingle.
Old Xiao!? Could he be talking about Dean Xiao? Who is this long-bearded teacher that he calls the dean by his first name?
"What's the big deal? Old Xiao and I are old classmates, we've known each other since we were kids. So what if he's the dean?!" The old man puffed out his beard and glared, looking completely unconcerned.
Yunhua felt that anyone who dared to say such a thing must be a hidden big shot, and she should try to curry favor with them.
"No wonder the dean entrusted you with guarding this place; it seems he trusts you a lot!" Yunhua exclaimed.
"Haha, that's right, that's right, otherwise the academy wouldn't have let me guard this place!" The old man laughed heartily, without any attempt to hide his laughter.
Although he was smiling, the old man still operated the computer at a leisurely pace.
Then the old man casually swiped Yunhua's student ID card, entered the information, clicked confirm, and it was done!
"Alright, now that you're here and your information has been entered, don't tarnish the reputation of the academy. You should know that not only are other student council members coming, but also people from outside the academy getting involved." The long-bearded old man stroked his white beard and said meaningfully.
"Huh? There are also people from outside the community?" Yunhua asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I'm sure you saw many mages on the street on your way here. They're all here for this mission," the old man said slowly.
"Things haven't been peaceful in Fenglai City lately!"
