Versatile Mage: Are you selling soul beasts in the Magic City?

In the afternoon, a few naughty kids in simple clothes suddenly ran to the gate of the ancient city and started playing around.

They climbed up on top, then slid down and rolled down along the piled sand, getting their bodies and faces covered with dust, making it impossible to tell who was who.

After a while, the adults of these children were heard cursing in the distance.

So the children quickly changed their battlefield and ran to the bundled horse hay, using it as a spring bed.

There was a child at the corner, drawing something with a tree branch. The ancient city wall was covered with dirt, and it looked like he was digging out the sand from the cracks in the wall.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing?"

When Mo Fan saw the child's actions, he immediately walked over and asked curiously.

"Are you blind?" the child replied.

"Little brat, you deserve a beating, don't you?"

Mo Fan rolled up his sleeves and wanted to teach this little brat a lesson.

"Stop making trouble, kid. Where are your parents?" Xu Beichen walked over and said.

Xu Beichen could already see that the child in front of him had completed the magic awakening, but his age obviously did not meet the requirements for magic awakening.

Awakening too early is not a good thing. Magic awakening is required to be completed after the age of fifteen, because awakening at too young an age will damage the soul.

After being improved by the soul beast flesh, Lingling's soul strength has reached the standard for awakening, and awakening herself early will not harm the soul.

In addition to Lingling, many children who had eaten soul beast meat also successfully awakened.

But this kid wasn't one of them.

The child looked at Xu Beichen warily, and suddenly found that this man was very familiar. After thinking for a while, he remembered him.

"Are you Xu Beichen?" the child asked with a look of anticipation and trepidation.

Xu Beichen raised his eyebrows, touched his head and said, "Yes, I am Xu Beichen."

The child's eyes lit up instantly, and he hugged Xu Beichen's thigh with excitement, and hurriedly shouted, "Big brother, I am also a magician, can you teach me magic?"

Seeing his performance, Xu Beichen frowned. He had no intention of accepting anyone as his disciple at the moment.

"Little brat, stop fooling around. The most important thing for you now is to learn the basics of magic. Once you're admitted to the magic high school, you'll be able to study magic naturally."

Seeing this, Mo Fan immediately pried open the child's hands and pulled him over.

This little brat is quite strong, so he needs to put in some effort.

Xu Beichen gave Mo Fan a strange look. This guy still had the nerve to persuade others to study.

"Let me go, I just want to learn magic."

The child tried to pry Mo Fan's hand apart, but when he found that he couldn't move it, he started yelling.

Mo Fan waved his sandbag-sized fist and threatened, "Hey, little brat, do you believe I'm going to beat you up?"

"Don't scare him, he has completed his magic awakening." Xu Beichen said.

"what?!"

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment, looking at Xu Beichen in disbelief. Then he sensed the child and found that he had indeed awakened.

But this child is only in his early teens at most. If he awakens at this age, it will be completely harmful to others.

Which bad awakening master would dare to cheat people like this!
Children under the age of fifteen have weak brain development and mental endurance, and a sudden awakening will only cause damage to their spirit.

Once the spirit is damaged, many troubles will arise on the path of future cultivation.

For example, they were unable to concentrate on their meditation, their meditation time was severely shortened, and they even experienced mental pain during meditation. "Kid, what's your name?" Zhao Manyan asked.

In the past, this situation would have been difficult to resolve, but fortunately they encountered it, and Brother Xu would definitely have a way to resolve it.

"Xiaotai." The child looked at Xu Beichen and said his name after hesitating for a while.

Xu Beichen came to Xiaotai, touched his head and said, "It's fine to teach you magic, but I have to tell you where your parents are right now, right?"

"But my dad won't be back until tonight," said Xiao Tai.

"It's okay, we'll wait for you here." Xu Beichen said with a smile.

By dusk, all the tricycle stalls, street vendors, vehicles, etc. that were originally there were removed.

The small market, which was originally quite lively, suddenly became deserted.

The wild children who had been playing near the ancient city gate also followed their adults. When it was getting dark, no one from Xiaotai’s parents came to pick him up.

Xu Beichen and his three companions walked around the town and found that the houses were basically empty and the daily necessities were covered with dust.

Those vendors don't live here at all, they just use this place as a temporary market for their villages, towns and counties.

For a moment, there was no one in the Wangcang Town at the ancient city gate, leaving only Xu Beichen and his four companions and Xiao Tai.

Xiao Tai's eyes were fixed on the outside of the ancient city gate. In the distance on the bumpy mud road, a figure walking was gradually approaching the ancient city gate.

"My dad is here." Xiao Tai's listless eyes finally had some luster.

The man walked over, wearing a straw hat to keep out the wind and sand. His face couldn't be seen clearly, but his clothes were a little tattered, as if he had just been robbed.

Xiao Tai didn't go out, but waited at the city gate.

But when the man really approached, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan seemed to sense something and their expressions suddenly changed.

This person exudes a smell of decay and death, which can only be found in the undead!

Xu Beichen looked calm. He had known for a long time that Xiaotai's father was a ghost, and not just an ordinary ghost.

The man walked for a while, and under his hat were a pair of eyes shining with green light.

The face was so pale that it was completely bloodless, and there was a severe claw mark on it, revealing the cheekbone and a row of teeth.

In this usually deserted town late at night, this scene seemed extremely strange and terrifying.

"Dad." Xiao Tai was not afraid at all, but called out affectionately.

"Are you here to take me away? But you must have the ability to do so."

The zombie in the bamboo hat first pressed Xiaotai's head, then showed an arrogant smile to Xu Beichen and the other three.

When he opened his mouth, his front teeth were exposed, and there was blood between his teeth, which seemed to indicate that it had not been long since he committed the crime.

Seeing this, Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan immediately became alert and prepared to fight.

"We are here to find a tomb, not to hunt you down." Xu Beichen said bluntly.

This living dead is definitely the thousand-year-old king, and his strength is even above the eight dead kings, of course, except for Queen Jiuyou who has already ascended to the emperor.

But for Xu Beichen, as long as he is not the emperor, it is easy to deal with, and Gu Yuena is there to protect him.

"Hunting me. That's really arrogant."

The living dead twitched his lips, then looked at Xu Beichen with extremely cold eyes and said, "Leave here immediately, or stay here." (End of this chapter)
