Chapter 1311 – Enchanter (5)
Shen Yanxiao had five days’ time to study enchantment. In these five days, Liang Qiu spent all of his time teaching
Shen Yanxiao.
Elder Yue and the others also had a tacit understanding not to bother Shen Yanxiao while she was studying
enchantment.
Shen Yanxiao had developed a certain misconception regarding enchantment before. Previously, she had learned
that writing inscriptions would consume a lot of her magic as a human being.
But right now, she was an elf, and her situation was completely different.
Humans wrote inscriptions by magic, while elves relied on their source of life.
Moreover, the capacity of the source of life was much larger than the capacity of human magic, and with her source
of life, the consumption was also much smaller.
The enchantment was invented by the elves. Although human beings could learn how to use it, they still would not
be as skilled as the elves at the end of the day.
The first thing that Liang Qiu taught Shen Yanxiao was how to instill the power of the source of life into an
inscription.
The idea was to manipulate the power of the source of life and perfuse it on the quill brush, then carefully write
down something with the enchantment potion.
The precision of the magical text was related to the weight of the writing, which was by no means based on the
strength of the hand, but instead determined by the input of the power of the source of life.
Channelling the vast power of the source of life into a sliver of energy, and slowly soaking it onto the quill brush. A
little too light, and the words would be faded; a little too heavy, and the ink would smudge.
This was indeed something that would put one’s attentiveness and patience to test.
Anyway, in Shen Yanxiao’s first day of studying enchantment, she spent a whole day and failed to write any
complete magical text.
And so, a lot of enchantment potions had been wasted.
Looking at the enchantment potions that had been squandered by herself just like that, and thinking that these
potions were hard to find in the Radiance Continent, Shen Yanxiao’s heart could not help but bleed.
Liang Qiu looked at Shen Yanxiao’s crying but tearless expression; he was quite puzzled
“What is wrong? Are you tired? Do you want to take a break?” Shen Yanxiao’s diligent appearance made Liang Qiu
feel distressed. Within the whole day, aside from when she ate her meal, she had spent the rest of the time sitting at
the desk, writing over and over again. Without any time to relax, her wrist should have already gone stiff by now.
Shen Yanxiao pursed her lips up. Looking at Liang Qiu, she said bitterly, “Grandpa Liang Qiu, I wasted a lot of
enchantment potions.”
But after hearing what she said, Liang Qiu laughed at once.
“What am I here for? Isn’t it just some enchantment potion? Wasted is wasted, this is not something to be worried
about. Not to mention you, even I have also failed to write numerous times in the past. Wasting is inevitable.”
Seeing her miserable appearance, he thought that something bad had happened.
But in truth, the emotional little fella was just actually feeling distressed for wasting too many enchantment potions
ah!
It was indeed a child’s temperament.
“But this potion is very expensive.” Shen Yanxiao looked at the stack of scrapped scrolls that had been written by
her on the side. She really wished she could squeeze the ink out of them.
Liang Qiu smiled and said, “It’s not expensive at all.”
“Really? You don’t need to lie to me…” Shen Yanxiao didn’t believe that the enchantment potion that was impossible
to find in the Radiance Continent would have the same price as a cabbage.
Liang Qiu replied, “Why would I lie to you? You don’t need money to get this potion. It is enough just to pluck one
fruit from the Magical Golden Tree planted in our backyard.”
“Ah?” Shen Yanxiao was a bit dumbfounded.
Seeing Shen Yanxiao’s appearance just like that of a curious little child, Lang Qiu explained with patience, “This
enchantment potion is made by squeezing out the juice of the fruit of the Magical Golden Tree and mixing it with
the sap of the tree itself. Which part of it involves the need to spend money? You can also rest assured that the
Magical Golden Tree is not a rare plant. You can find a large one even if you just casually enter the forest. It doesn’t
cost any money. At most, it will just be wasted in no time. Otherwise, every Enchanter would die of poverty,
wouldn’t they?”
