Chapter 40: Chapter 39: Restoration of Sight and Farewell
After going in circles, Yun Sheng and Ye Beiming unexpectedly returned to the Yun Family.
Who would have thought that the entire village wouldnât have a suitable place for surgery? The Magic Temple would have been ideal, but Yun Sheng worried about the sudden disappearance of Great Mage Yang. If she were seen entering and exiting the Magic Temple, it could cause unnecessary trouble.
Yun Sheng then thought of her little grass hut, where she had previously performed a surgery to separate a Double-headed Dog, and the room also had basic tools like a copper mirror and candle lighting equipment.
Furthermore, considering the time sensitivity required for a corneal transplant, they could not continue to search for a suitable place.
When Yun Sheng returned home, she didnât find her father; it seems that having left the house in the middle of the night, her father had gone out to look for her.
"Quick, give me the body, and you get on the bed and wait for me," Yun Sheng urged Ye Beiming. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt something was off with what she just said.
"Little Wildcat, are you really a woman? Arenât you scared at all?" Ye Beimingâs face turned gloomy.
"Whatâs there to be afraid of? In my eyes, the only difference between him and you is whether or not heâs breathing," Yun Sheng took out alcohol and saline for basic disinfection.
She then took out some Mandala Liquid for Ye Beiming to drink.
"What is this?" Ye Beiming, who smelled the medicinal scent, became alert.
"A medicine to make you temporarily unconscious, without any side effects," Yun Sheng didnât bother to explain further - dealing with a rebellious young man who refused to take medicine, it was far better to act than to persuade, she secretly started using a Dark Needle.
Ye Beiming only felt a numbness throughout his body, almost identical to what happened on the hillside.
"Yun Sheng! How dare you..." He had fallen into Yun Shengâs hands for the second time.
Sleepiness surged up, and Ye Beimingâs tongue felt tied, "Donât allow... to leave..."
The word "go" ultimately wasnât uttered, and Ye Beiming passed out.
Estimating the time needed for the surgery, and to prevent Ye Beiming from waking up mid-way like the last time, Yun Sheng additionally inserted a few needles into Ye Beiming until the full-body anesthesia took effect.
Yun Sheng began to remove the cornea from Yang Shuo, then washed it with homemade saline before removing the necrotic cornea from Ye Beiming.
Although Yang Shuo was a villain with a venomous heart, his corneas were healthy.
When removing Ye Beimingâs cornea, Yun Sheng, out of habit, still inspected it thoroughly.
However, after the inspection, she suddenly discovered that Ye Beimingâs cornea was not congenitally damaged as she had expected, but rather it was covered with a layer of light mist-like substance.
Yun Sheng tried to cut through that layer of light mist with a scalpel, but found that the scalpel couldnât even make a mark.
"This is..." Yun Sheng touched the light fog layer.
Her Magic Soul inside her shook.
"Is this? Magic Elements?" Yun Sheng realized that this thin membrane making Ye Beimingâs eyes appear blind was indeed composed of Magic Elements.
It seemed to be Light Element Magic Elements.
Yun Sheng was shocked.
She had actually wanted to ask just now, why Ye Beimingâs Magic Soul was five-colored.
Besides the normal Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water, the four major Magic Elements, what was that black Magic Soul?
"Shengâer," behind her, a series of urgent questions sounded.
Yun Canghai discovered that Yun Sheng had left home in the middle of the night and had not returned, so he hurriedly went to the Magic Temple, only to find that the temple was already empty, and the only person he found was an unconscious Old Pharmacist.
He searched throughout the village but couldnât find Yun Sheng.
However, he saw his homeâs lights on while on the hillside, and so he hurried back.
It was a good thing Yun Canghai returned late, otherwise the operation done by Yun Sheng would have been difficult to explain.
"Father," Yun Sheng hurriedly hid the two corneas on her body, but the already breathless Yang Shuo and Ye Beiming, who was lying in the bed, couldnât be hidden anymore.
Yun Canghai, with the eyes of an eagle, spotted Ye Beiming lying on the bed at a glance.
After clearly distinguishing Ye Beimingâs appearance, a sharp glint flashed in Yun Canghaiâs eyes, "Shengâer, who is he?"
"His name is Ye Beiming, he is an apprentice under Great Magic Guide Yang of the Magic Temple, no actually, Yang Shuo harbored ill intentions, wanting to seize his Magic Soul. His Magic Soul... is a Five-colored Magic Soul," thought Yun Sheng, and recounted the earlier events, even mentioning how she accidentally seized the otherâs Five Elements Magic Soul without paying attention.
"Itâs him, the Five Elements Magic Soul, and his appearance is almost identical to that person." After hearing the entire course of events, Yun Canghaiâs expressionless face finally underwent a change.
He looked at Yun Sheng with a complex expression: "Whatâs done is done, blaming you is pointless now. But Shengâer, do you realize, youâve stirred up a huge trouble."
Next to Yun Canghai, a massive surge of Fire Element Magic swelled up, influencing the Magic Elements inside Yun Shengâs body, causing them to become uncontrollably restless.
Above her head, a cluster of Five-colored Magic Soul appeared.
After clearly seeing that cluster of black Magic Soul, Yun Canghai gasped sharply.
"Shengâer, promise your father, after today, you must not reveal to anyone that you possess a Five Elements Magic Soul. Before becoming a formal Mage. You must not expose your possession of multiple Magic Souls, before you achieve the strength of a Sky Mage, you absolutely must not reveal your black Magic Soul to outsiders," Yun Sheng had never seen Yun Canghai so solemn before.
She nodded, "Father, that cluster of black magic element, is it the Dark Magic Element?"
Yun Sheng was no ordinary greenhorn; since it wasnât one of the Four Natural Magic Elements, it must definitely be a Secondary Magic Element.
On the continent, having a mutated variety of Secondary Magic Element is a delightful occurrence.
But her father wouldnât allow her to use it freely in front of others, there was only one answer, it was because it was a Dark Magic Element, which was not accepted by mainstream mages on the continent.
"Correct, Dark Magic Element, also known as the Element of Destruction. That young man lying on your bed, his identity is distinguished, initially, his mother too, because she bore him with Dark Magic Element in her body, led to... he is a fellow with a tough fate, even though he was abandoned by his family, but his Magic Talent is not something others can covet. Now that you have seized part of his Magic Soul, if this matter gets out, it will certainly lead to being hunted," Yun Canghai decided, to leave with Yun Sheng tonight.
Yun Sheng did not expect her father to make such a hasty decision.
"Thereâs no time to delay. Pack your belongings, we must leave Banana Leaf Village before dawn, before that, I still need to go out again, pack your essentials and wait for my return," Yun Canghai grabbed Yang Shuoâs corpse and disappeared into the night.
Yun Sheng looked at Ye Beiming, who still hadnât awakened, and felt an indescribable sensation in her heart.
