Chapter 48: The Path of the Artisan (3)

  Moreover, the divine realm revered by the world also abhors the existence of mages. Mages are one of the six directions of magic and internal energy, closest to darkness. The radiant divine realm rejects all evil forces that approach darkness.

  Due to people's prejudices and the oppression of the divine domain, on the entire Bright Continent, it is almost impossible to find a few people who study magic.

  Even if they did, it would be a life of being like a street rat, with everyone shouting and chasing after them.

  Shen Yan Xiao couldn't understand how such a sharp profession ended up in the mouths of these hypocrites, becoming a despicable existence.

  Despicable? There are so many people who appear dignified and elegant on the surface, but in private, they do despicable things without hesitation. The world can accept those hypocritical pseudo-gentlemen, yet unwilling to accept a profession that practices magic?

  It's really absurd and makes people cry and laugh at the same time.

  "What's the point of boycotting? What can you do if I don't like it? The path I've chosen for myself, why should others point fingers?" Shen Yanshao sneered, she had never been one to care about worldly opinions.

  She will only choose what she decides is right, rather than blindly following worldly views.

  Shen Yan Xiao was very clear that in this world, anyone is unreliable, only oneself is the only one to rely on.

  "Remember what you said today, your own choices can only be adhered to by yourself." Regarding Shen Yanshao's persistence, Xiū did not say any more words of persuasion. In fact, Shen Yanshao vaguely felt that Xiū was very satisfied with her choice.

  Although the direction of future magic has been determined, in a humble place like Magma Valley, it is almost impossible to learn about mages. Even if Xiū was mysterious and unpredictable, he couldn't have predicted that the person he would be hosting would choose the path of a mage 100 years ago, so naturally, he wouldn't have stored information about mage studies in his mind.

  Moreover, due to the second layer of Qī Xīng Suǒ Yuè being sealed, Shěn Yán Xiāo's magic growth stagnated after entering the sixth stage. No matter how hard she tried to cultivate with a calm mind, there was not even a slight increase.

  As Shu said, the effect of unsealing is closely related to how tightly it was sealed.

  Shen Yan Xiao could only dispel his thoughts of continuing on the path of a mage and began to specialize in Dou Qi.

  Unfortunately, breaking through the sixth rank of magic in a short period of time is already a rare occurrence. Wanting to break through the Dou Qi in an extremely short amount of time again... that's just a fool's dream!

  Xiu no longer urged Shen Yan to practice as he had before.

  As the Zhuque family's carriage advanced deeper into the Lava Valley, the temperature around them grew increasingly higher. Any drop of water that fell to the ground would instantly evaporate into gas, and even low-level demonic beasts didn't dare enter such a scorching region.

  And the people in the carriage also knew that as the temperature rose, they were getting closer and closer to Zhuque's nest.

  ……

  Shen Jiayi and Shen Jiawei sat in the same carriage, with only one middle-aged attendant left to serve them, while the other two attendants were left in the carriage that Shen Jiawei was supposed to ride in.

  "How much longer can this take? Sitting in the carriage all day, my whole body is going to fall apart! I've had enough of those dried meats! If I eat any more, I'm going to throw up!" Shen Jiayi frowned and leaned back in the carriage, having been pampered at the Zhu Que Manor for a long time. These few days of traveling had made her feel uncomfortable all over, and if it weren't for the fact that it involved the Zhu Que family and the opportunity to gain favor with the Holy Lord, she wouldn't have wanted to suffer through this ordeal.
