Chapter 1: I'll Wait for You
The Red Star Demon Academy, located in Wangxing City, the capital of the Chiyan Hou Kingdom, is a first-class magic academy in the Chiyan Hou Kingdom, and was established by the Red Star Palace, the first magician force of the Chiyan Hou Kingdom. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a magic academy set up by the first force in the country to select talents, the Red Star Magic Academy has many magic secrets, and there are authentic magicians stationed in the hospital to teach, so it has naturally become an ideal magic holy place for all aspiring young people in the country of Chiyan. However, the conditions are good, and the threshold for selecting talents in the Red Star Demon Academy is also quite high, and there are not many people in one city.
The sun was bright and the sun was shining, but a fifteen-year-old boy in the city on the edge of the Red Flame Hou Country locked himself in a dimly lit room. The boy sat cross-legged on the bed, his brows locked, the door closed, the curtains tightly drawn, airtight.
"Ding Dong", the perception is like a water droplet hitting the calm magic ocean, rippling a shallow ripple. The handsome face with a frown on his brows finally stretched out, revealing a touch of relief, and after sitting quietly for most of the day, he finally paid off.
The boy's name is Xuanyan, and like all the teenagers in the Chiyan Marquis Kingdom, he has a magician's dream, but reality often has a huge gap with his dream, and Xuanyan's magic perception is extremely poor.
The world of magicians is wonderful, but the road to growth is boring and difficult, requiring great perseverance, and those who are not strong in heart cannot last long. But if you are ambitious and have amazing perseverance, if you want to open the path of demons, there is a premise, you must have a keen sense of magic. In fact, more than half of the people in the Chiyan Hou Kingdom can't perceive the existence of magic power at all, and ninety percent of the remaining people, if they try their best and spend a lot of time, they can barely perceive the existence of a trace of magic power, but such a poor magic perception can basically be given up on the way of a magician, and it is difficult to do anything.
It's unfortunate that Xuanyan is one of these ninety percent, although he can sense the existence of magic power, but he can only barely do it with all his might, and the path of the magician has closed the door to him.
Xuanyan knows this, but he is unwilling, he has an infinite yearning for magicians, and he doesn't want to just do nothing for a lifetime. What's more, for the sake of the girl in his heart, he is not willing to give up.
The girl's name is Shui Yan'er, very clear and beautiful, the two grew up playing together since childhood, childhood sweethearts! As they grew older, the two had feelings for each other, Shui Yan'er was knowledgeable, and even won the favor of Xuanyan's parents, and Xuanyan's parents even regarded Shui Yan'er as a future daughter-in-law.
But the creation makes people, and the children of Chiyan Houguo will test their magic perception when they reach their age, and this test completely changes the fate of the two of them! When Shui Yan'er's snow-white little hand touched the test crystal, the transparent crystal ball burst out with dazzling aqua blue light, and the entire test hall was filled with dazzling light.
Such a reaction had long since exceeded the limits of the crystal ball measurement, and only the measured man's horrified gaze spoke for itself. The news quickly spread, shaking the entire Chiyan Hou Country, and the Red Star Palace, the number one force in the Hou Country, directly sent people down to announce that Shui Yan'er would be included in the palace.
Everyone is excited, if Shui Yan'er grows up, they will be the ones who will witness the beginning of the big shot.
But Xuanyan locked himself in the room, not eating or drinking, looking confused. The girl he liked was amazingly talented, but his path to the path of a magician had been broken, and the crystal ball only flashed slightly when he tested it, and it was almost undetectable.
At that time, Xuanyan was all lost, what should he do in the future, he was no longer worthy of Shui Yan'er, and now she is already a thousand rays!
The day when Shui Yan'er left came, but Xuanyan didn't even have the courage to see her off, there was no possibility for the two, he could only silently bless her in his heart.
The door opened, the room was a little messy, Xuanyan looked at Shui Yan'er blankly, elegant and dusty, beautiful and unparalleled.
Shui Yan'er slowly walked in front of Xuanyan, a little shy, and hugged him into his arms.
Until Shui Yan'er left, the fragrance, warmth, and softness all dissipated, and only the gentle "I am waiting for you" in her ears was deeply engraved in Xuanyan's heart from now on, how could she bear her!
Xuanyan's magician soul was aroused again, and he had no talent enough to persevere, at least he could still sense the existence of magic. The Red Star Demon Courtyard that he once dreamed of has really become a dream, and Xuanyan can only hope that through hard work, he can enter the Samsung Demon Academy, which has a much lower enrollment threshold.
The Samsung Demon Courtyard was jointly founded by Yanxi City, where Xuanyan is located, and the surrounding Yanju City and Yanfeng City, and it has only been established for a hundred years now, which is much worse than the Red Star Demon Courtyard with a history of hundreds of years. Whether it is, meditation method, secret arts, and background are difficult to match with the Red Star Demon Academy, and among them, the meditation method is especially important for beginners in magic.
Opening up the spiritual sea is a particularly important step to become a magician, and it is also the first hurdle on the road of a magician, once the spiritual sea is opened, spiritual power will be generated, not only the aging slows down rapidly, but also you can start to try all kinds of beginner magic, become a magic apprentice, the status has increased sharply, and the speed of making money is no longer comparable to ordinary people.
In terms of cultivating magic apprentices, the three-star magic academy is far inferior to the Red Star Demon Academy!
The presence of magic is fleeting, and Xuanyan rubs his temples, very tired, if the magic perception is not high enough, then it is very hard to capture the ubiquitous magic power, and the mental fatigue is unbearable.
Picking up the ground turquoise herbal juice, Xuanyan drank it down, long-term perception requires medicine to relieve fatigue, otherwise if you continue to use your brain like this, you will have mental problems, but if you just perceive magic once a day, it is far from enough, and a qualification like Xuanyan needs to be repeated many times before it is possible to truly capture the magic power.
The herb is called spirit herb, which is the most common herb on the market to relieve mental fatigue, and the taste is extremely bitter, surpassing the bitter gall of some ordinary animals, which is unbearable for ordinary people, but even then the price is extremely expensive.
Xuanyan's brows locked together, resisting the urge to vomit the grass juice out until the power of the medicine dissolved.
In fact, there are many medicines that are not bitter outside, and there are even some medicines that enhance the perception of magic power, but they are extremely expensive, and they are not at all affordable for Xuanyan's family.
Xuanyan's parents run a scroll shop, whether it is a magic apprentice or a magician, scrolls are indispensable, plus his parents are well-run, and the business is very good. Of course, these scrolls are blank without any filling, and the scrolls with magic are often hundreds or even thousands of gold coins, which are not at all available to ordinary people.
The magic scroll business is in the hands of some magic families, and ordinary people are not qualified to touch these businesses. Xuanyan's parents were originally also members of the magic family, but long before Xuanyan was born, the family declined, and no magic apprentices were born.
As a descendant of the magic family, the parents naturally hope that Xuanyan can make a career on the road of magicians, so as to reproduce the former glory of the family, but Xuanyan's qualifications are too poor, so the parents persuaded Xuanyan to give up, and wanted their son to inherit his scroll shop, and he would not worry about food and clothing in the future, but every time he saw Xuanyan's resolute gaze, the two of them couldn't bear it, they knew where the child's heart knot, so they took out their savings to buy herbs for Xuanyan with a glimmer of hope.
However, the money has been spent, and Xuanyan has never been able to capture a trace of magic, and he has not even opened a single acupuncture point.
Opening up the acupuncture points and connecting the meridians is the initial stage of magic, and it is necessary to open up the five major acupuncture points of Qihai Acupoint, Yongquan Acupoint, Shenque Acupoint, Jizhong Acupoint, and Baihui Acupoint to penetrate the magic power, and finally open up the spiritual sea to become a magic apprentice.
The effect of the medicine melted, the brain no longer had a dull pain, the fatigue disappeared, and Xuanyan was once again calm into the perception of magic power.... Time passed, and once again the magic perception was completed, and Xuanyan woke up to grind the herbs again. "Knock, knock, knock" There was a knock on the door, "Brother-in-law, open the door!"
Hearing the voice clearly, Xuanyan's heart warmed, and it was Shui Yan'er's younger brother, Mercury Xingchen, who knocked on the door. Mercury Xingchen is two years younger than himself, and the two grew up together, and when he found out about his relationship with Shui Yan'er, he screamed at his brother-in-law, so he was pinched by Shui Yan'er. Later, Shui Yan'er showed her talent and was taken away by the Red Star Palace, and it was difficult for him to even have a normal perception of magic, but Mercury Xingchen did not alienate himself because of this, and supported him as always, and in his heart Mercury Xingchen will always be his younger brother.
Xuanyan opened the door, the light was a little dazzling, and after a while, he saw the handsome young man who was smiling at him, Shui Yan'er was extremely beautiful, and Shui Xingchen, who was his younger brother, was naturally not bad.
"Brother-in-law, don't keep locking yourself in a dark environment, it's not good, even if it's to perceive magic, you can't do it all day. Looking at the dim room, his smile converged, Mercury Xingchen felt a little distressed Xuanyan, for the slightest possibility of being with his sister again, his brother-in-law endured a lot, staying in this dim environment for a long time, it was too depressing, even if there was the assistance of medicinal herbs, sooner or later there would be problems with his spirit.
Hearing this, Xuanyan sighed, there is no way, in order to become a magician, for her, it can only be like this.
Seeing that Xuanyan was a little lost, Mercury Xingchen hurriedly changed his words and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, what do you see here!"
Xuanyan saw Mercury Xingchen take out a box from his arms, inside was a blue aquatic plant with a faint luster, this is a blue star grass, which can improve the perception of magic power, one plant will be sold for about two hundred gold coins, Xuanyan's family can't save so much money if they don't eat or drink all year round.
"Xingchen, you can use this blue star grass yourself. Xuanyan shook his head and refused. Mercury Xingchen's magical talent is much worse than that of his sister Shui Yan'er, but it is also much better than him, compared to Mercury Xingchen, he needs this Bixing Grass more, and with it, Mercury Xingchen's certainty of entering the Samsung Academy is much greater.
Mercury Xingchen's family is much more affluent than the Xuanyan family, but it is not a magic family, and there has been no news since the Red Star Palace took Shui Yan'er away, so Mercury Xingchen's family has not changed much in recent years.
"Brother-in-law, do you still want to be okay with my sister!" Seeing Xuanyan shirking, Mercury Xingchen came up with a killer idea, he knew that his sister was the driving force that his brother-in-law had always insisted on.
"Mercury, thank you. Xuanyan stared at Mercury for a moment and said gratefully. He actually needs this Bixing Grass very much, he has been perceiving magic day and night, in fact, there is not much progress, if he has this Bixing Grass, maybe it will be different! It's just that this Bixing Grass is too precious, making it difficult for him to accept.
"Let's go, brother-in-law, go out for a walk, we're going to leave for the Samsung Demon Courtyard tomorrow, let's adjust our state." Seeing Xuanyan accept the Bixing Grass, Mercury Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Xuanyan would really refuse to accept it.
Xuanyan nodded, he was going to the Samsung Demon Courtyard tomorrow, and it was really not good to be locked in the house all the time.
The air outside the house is refreshing, and it is a lot more relaxing to stretch a little. Looking out of the courtyard, the night sky was surprised, and there was a group of people outside the courtyard, with serious faces and neat queues. At the head was a young man, dressed in a robe of red stars, with a jade and gold belt around his waist, a red gold crown on his head, and sword eyebrows and starry eyes, extremely handsome, looking at them.
Xuanyan was excited, he was a person from the Red Star Palace! Only the people from the Red Star Palace dared to wear this in the entire Chiyan Hou Country, and if the others wore it like this, once it was found that it would be light to go to prison, it would be a question whether they could save their lives. It's been two whole years, and finally there's news!
"Mercury Xingchen, Senior Sister Shui Yan'er was in a bit of a hurry because she was specially recruited, but now the palace has been arranged, so now take you back to the palace, your parents have already set off, come with me." The man looked at Mercury and said gently, without stopping at Xuanyan.
Mercury Xingchen was stunned in place, a little unable to react for a while, there has been no news for two years, and this time he is going to be taken to the legendary Red Star Palace!
"Shui Yan'er, are you okay?" asked Xuanyan to suppress the excitement in his heart and ask the man.
The man didn't seem to hear Xuanyan, stared at Mercury Xingchen, and only looked at Xuanyan after a while, and said lightly, "You are Xuanyan? Don't think about Senior Sister Shui Yan'er in the future, die of this heart, you are not from the same world." ”
The man was disdainful in his heart, he didn't like Xuanyan very much, Senior Sister Shui Yan'er was not only amazingly talented, but also beautiful, after she came, how many male disciples of the Red Star Hall thought about it day and night, and he was also one of them. What is unthinkable is that Shui Yan'er rejected all the young talents of the Red Star Palace, and even a few of the proud sons of the Red Star Palace did not take a second look.
Later, news came out that Shui Yan'er had already had a sweetheart, which made the young talents of the Red Star Hall extremely disappointed, and some powerful disciples began to inquire about who had such great ability, but as soon as the answer came out, all the junjie were angry, if a beautiful woman like Shui Yan'er liked a heavenly pride who did not lose to them, it would be fine, but I didn't expect it to be a waste who couldn't perceive magic power, but this also rekindled the blazing flame of hope among the male disciples of the Red Star Palace!
The man's words were like a heavy hammer, smashing on the heart of Xuanyan, he was right, it is an indisputable fact, what is the place of the Red Star Palace, the dream in the hearts of all the young people in the Chiyan Marquis Kingdom!
Looking at Xuanyan's lost expression, the man nodded slightly, still a little self-aware.
Mercury Xingchen looked anxious, how could his brother-in-law be dissipated by his confidence with a word!
The man ignored Xuanyan and was about to take Mercury away, when he saw a look in his eyes that made him extremely annoying.
"I'll catch up!" Xuanyan's eyes were resolute, and he secretly scolded himself for how he had been bewitched before, Yan'er could wait for herself, he Xuanyan, why be afraid!
"Chasing, heh, joke, what are you chasing, you are a waste who can't perceive magic power, you want to chase the genius of our Red Star Palace? It's really ridiculous!" The man waved his red golden sleeves, and the air in his right hand was suddenly distorted, and a flame like the scorching sun was instantly stimulated! The man gently pushed his right hand, and the fireball popped out in an instant, accompanied by a crisp popping sound, a big tree not far away was blown out of a big hole, scorched black, and bursts of green smoke came out.
"Even ordinary geniuses want to be on a par with our disciples of the Red Star Palace, even if you have this luck, countless heavenly and earthly treasures have smashed you into a magic apprentice, and it is a fool's dream to want to compete with our disciples of the Red Star Palace!" The man looked at Xuanyan with arrogance and indifference.
Xuanyan and Mercury were terrified to the extreme, it was instantaneous magic just now! Although this was the simplest fireball technique, the time from the beginning of the fireball condensation to the completion was too fast, and only instantaneous magic could do it. For a magic apprentice to achieve instantaneous magic, his control of magic power has reached such a terrifying level, and the power of the blow just now is far beyond that of ordinary fireball techniques.
"Do you understand the gap, this is two thousand taels of gold, forget about her. The man took out a crystal card from the ring and shook it at Xuanyan.
Mercury Xingchen was furious, this is two thousand taels of gold, not two thousand gold coins, converted into ten thousand gold coins, it is a wealth that ordinary people can't dream of in their lifetime, but what is this man, this is an insult to his brother-in-law, and Xuanyan's heart for his sister can be measured by money?
This man is so hateful, he really wants to beat the man who looks like a dog, it's a big deal not to go to the Red Star Palace, but he is definitely not this man's opponent!
Looking at the crystal card in the man's hand, Xuanyan smiled, and then looked directly into the man's eyes, and said calmly and powerfully, "I have a heart for Yan'er, I also have a heart for magic, these are the most precious existences in my heart, not money can be weighed, it is true that I am very bad now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future, as long as I keep this heart, I believe that one day I will catch up!"
The man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this kid to say this, such a gap is not even dead, the young man stared at Xuanyan for a while, and then put away the crystal card and looked at Mercury Xingchen, "It's almost time." ”
Hearing this, Mercury Xingchen was excited, worthy of being my brother-in-law, my sister she didn't see the wrong person, brother-in-law can have such a firm heart, he can leave with confidence, he wants to tell his sister, brother-in-law has never forgotten the agreement between the two!
The man walked out of the courtyard with Mercury Xingchen, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the man stopped, "My name is Chi Yanfeng, and I am waiting for you in the Red Star Palace." ”
After speaking, he didn't look back, and immediately took Mercury Xingchen and a team of people to stop on a small magic crystal floating boat outside the courtyard.
"Listen to your sister's words when you go to the Red Star Palace, and cultivate hard. Xuanyan waved his hand at Mercury Xingchen vigorously, and the previous unhappiness seemed to have been forgotten.
"Hmph, interesting. The man chuckled, and then without waiting for Mercury to respond, the airship was away in an instant.
"Brother-in-law, my sister and I are waiting for you to appear!" Mercury screamed, regardless of whether Xuanyan heard it or not.
The airship vanished, leaving only a trail in the sky.
