When he first heard that the beast bone was that of a One-Horned Horse, Gu Feng only felt like his whole body was hit by a wave of happiness.

Happiness always comes so suddenly, doesn't it?

A One-Horned Horse of the light attribute, even if it was only a ten-years-old one, it was extremely rare to find. And if he, a magician of the light attribute could use a scepter made of a One-Horned Horse's bone, the effect of his magic would undoubtedly double.

It was also greatly beneficial for his future cultivation.

But when the old hunter announced the shocking price of fifty gold coins, Gu Feng's face immediately fell.

Even if he sells himself, he won't have fifty gold coins.

He lowered his head in frustration, pulling Yun Sheng's hand and wanting to leave with her.

"Wait" Yun Sheng couldn't bear to see Gu Feng sad. Besides, the One-Horned Horse's beast bone was really hard to come by. She also had the feeling that this beast bone would most likely bring a shocking change to Gu Feng.

"Little girl, there's no need to bargain with me. For the sake of this One-Horned Horse, my brothers and I stayed in the Azure Beast Valley for over two months. It was only after this young One-Horned Horse had injured itself that we had a chance to hunt it. And to get it we also paid a painful price." The hunter's weathered face showed a bit of fear.

One-Horned Horses were a very unique breed of demon beasts. They liked to live in groups. Although they were only fifth-rank demon beasts, when they encountered enemies, they would unleash terrifying illusion magic. Ordinary demon beasts, warriors and magicians were no match for them

"Uncle we don't have that much money. But I can trade finished medicine with you. A large amount of improved hemostatic agents and some mediation water." Yun Sheng swiftly took out the rest of her hemostatic agents and meditation water.

The quality of the medicine Yun Sheng took out made the hunter a bit interested, but he still shook his head.

Fifty gold coins was already the lowest price.

"Yun Sheng...let's just... forget it... I can find another magic scepter." Gu Feng saw Yun Sheng knitting her eyebrow and staring at the One-Horned Horse's bone.

"No, Gu Feng, this demon beast bone has to belong to you and it can only be used by you." Yun Sheng seemed to have suddenly discovered something as she looked at the old hunter. "Uncle, if I'm not mistaken, you originally planned to refine this demon beast bone into a magic scepter for a magician in your team, right? But unfortunately, after hunting the One-Horned Horse, the magician in your team, I'm afraid, is no longer alive."

"You! How did you know!" The hunter's face changed dramatically and he looked at Yun Sheng incredulously.

The secret of this demon beast bone, he had never told it to anyone.

As the offspring of the holy beast Unicorn, the One-Horned Horse also had a powerful magic that ordinary beast didn't possess, which was the "Curse of Bad Luck".

The hunting team that the old hunter was part of, thought they could get away with it, after hunting the ten-years-old One-Horned Horse cub. But halfway back, they suffered unprecedented losses.

All the hunters were either sick or injured for no reason. Especially the magician who had given the One-Horned Horse the last blow, because he died with no reason.

It was for this reason that they decided to take out this beast bone and sell it.

The old hunter intended to use the fifty gold coins from the sale of the demon beast bone as compensation for the magician's death.

Yun Sheng remembered that earlier when she was buying her magic scepter, her father, who was quite knowledgeable about magic scepters, had told her that among all demon beasts, the light and darkness demon beasts were the closest to the holy beasts.

To use a magic scepter made from the bones of these two types of demon beasts, one absolutely had to be a magician with the corresponding attribute.

Otherwise, even though the magicians had induced the magic scepter, the remaining magic elements in the bones would invade the magician's body and in the long run, causing death or injury.

Yun Sheng had just used her Shen Nong Pupil to look at the beast bone of the One-Horned Horse and found that the bone not only had a strong light element, but also a strand of black magic element flowing like silky black hair.

Possessing the darkness Magic Soul, she could immediately determine that this was the darkness magic element.

It was likely that the hunters had brutally killed the little One-Horned Horse, causing huge resentment during its death. Leaving the power of the Bad Luck Curse on its bones.

If this strand of darkness magic element couldn't be exterminated, every user would surely end up like the dead magician.

"He was a light magician and it was expected that no one was better suited to use a magic scepter made of a light attribute beast bone than him. But I'm sure that there is no one else able to subdue this demon beast bone. In other words, there is no value in leaving this demon beast bone in your hands. If you agree to surrender this demon beast bone, not only will I give you all the medicine I have, I can also offer you free treatment in the "Rejuvenate Hands" Medical Center for a year!"

"You know, the attending physician there is a former Imperial Doctor of the Great Zhou Empire, Fan Zhi." Yun Sheng nonchalantly used Doctor Fan as a bargain chip.

She mused: Doctor Fan don't blame me, I'm doing this to help that silly boy Gu Feng.

Doctor Fan, who was in the medical hall, sneezed, touched his nose and continued busily treating patients.

The old hunter had a complicated look on his face and considered the offer for a while, he looked at the hemostatic agents and the mediation water.

And then thought about the fact that they would be able to all enjoy free treatment from an Imperial Doctor for the next year.

He said with gritted teeth "Fine, I'll take your offer. But I'll say it up-front, you guys know the condition of that demon beast bone and you can't hold me responsible if anything happens."

He saw that Yun Sheng and Gu Feng were both from the Royal Magic Academy and was afraid that if they were killed by the bone, the people of the Magic Academy would come looking for him.

"We will never hold you accountable for our life and death." Yun Sheng was relieved that this demon beast bone was finally theirs.

Gu Feng was both excited and uneasy after getting the demon beast bone.

On one hand, he was happy to have gotten a rare demon beast bone. But on the other hand, he was worried that it would really kill people.

"Gu Feng, I also want to discuss something with you, this demon beast bone, I want to refine it myself." Yun Sheng had made up her mind to refine the bone herself when she bought the demon beast bone.

Only if she were to refine it, would it be possible to remove the darkness elements within.

"You?! But Yun Sheng... you're still just... a Magician, what if... what if." Gu Feng didn't dare say it. He touched the demon beast bone reluctantly. But he also thought about it, this beast bone was bought by Yun Sheng, all the "money" was from her, so, how could he object?

Fifty gold coins, he still didn't know when he would be able to pay it back.

In the end, he still handed over the beast bone to Yun Sheng.

For some reason, he always felt that if Yun Sheng said it would work then it must work.

"Don't worry, I'll make sure to refine a nice magic scepter for you." Yun Sheng comforted Gu Feng.
