Transcending the Magic Era: The Supreme Female Archmage

Under Puyang Yucheng's arrangement, Zhao Junnan led Cui Tianxiang and the other alchemists to his laboratory to discuss and exchange experiences.

At this moment, only Chu Qiuchi and a few others, along with Puyang Yucheng, remained in the room. The air was so still that one could almost hear their own heartbeats; the atmosphere was unusually heavy, and a silent tension permeated the room.

After a long silence, Puyang Yucheng finally spoke slowly, "Are you all really sure you want to go to the war zone to provide support?" He paused, his gaze sweeping over Chu Qiuchi and the others, "Since you have developed 'Youyun,' I can apply to His Majesty that you don't need to go to the war zone."

Puyang Minghui paused slightly, then said firmly, "Grandpa, we will definitely go to the war zone. This is not only a training mission for us, but also an opportunity for us to step out of our comfort zone and face the storm."

“But you are still young. Life and death are uncertain on the battlefield. If anything happens to you, it will be a huge loss to the entire empire.”

Puyang Yucheng frowned, his eyes filled with worry. But seeing the unwavering determination of Chu Qiuchi and the others, he sighed deeply and finally relented, "Fine, it was this old man who insisted. You can go, but you all must protect yourselves, understand?"

"Understood, Dean."

"I got it, Grandpa."

"Okay, Grandpa."

Several voices rang out in unison, firm yet undeniably naive. Puyang Yucheng looked at the young and resolute faces before him, feeling both pride and worry.

"This beast tide is different from the past; it has been more than ten days and still shows no signs of receding. The Third War Zone has suffered considerable casualties, and other war zones have sent people to provide support. When you go, be sure not to act recklessly."

Hearing this, Chu Qiuchi frowned and said coldly, "Has the situation become so dire? What is the beast race trying to do? Are they going to start a full-scale war with us?"

Clearly, she too realized the abnormality of this beast tide. After all, previous beast tides would only last seven or eight days at most before subsiding. However, this beast tide had lasted for more than ten days and still showed no signs of receding. At this moment, no one expected that the duration and scale of this beast tide would far exceed expectations.

Puyang Yucheng's heavy voice rang out again, "Yes, the situation is becoming increasingly dire. The beast tide shows no signs of receding, which is why I don't want you to go and take the risk. As for whether a great war will break out, I don't know, but His Majesty has already sent people to negotiate with the beastmen."

Chu Qiuchi and the others felt a pang of sadness, clearly realizing the gravity of the situation. After a moment of silence, they spoke again firmly: "No matter what, we are ready."

“You kids are always so stubborn.”

Puyang Yucheng shook his head gently, his eyes filled with obvious reluctance and concern. "There is no turning back on the battlefield. You must be prepared to face the worst-case scenario."

As he spoke, he took out fifty bottles of high-grade healing potions and energy-recharging potions from his mental space and handed them to Puyang Minghui. "Take these potions with you. Don't hesitate to use them if you encounter danger."

Then, he took out ten bottles of superior-grade potions from his spatial storage and handed them to Chu Qiuchi. "These are ten life-extending potions. As long as you have a breath left, you can extend your life for seven days. You must take good care of yourself."

Chu Qiuchi didn't stand on ceremony. He accepted the medicine and said with deep gratitude, "Thank you, Dean. We will definitely return safely."

Puyang Minghui burst into tears, unable to contain her emotions any longer. She stepped forward and hugged Puyang Yucheng, saying in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, I'm so unfilial, making you worry so much. Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself and come back safely. You must take good care of yourself too."

Puyang Yucheng's eyes also welled up with tears. He gently patted Puyang Minghui's back and softly comforted her, "Minghui, you are a brave child. Grandpa is proud of you. Grandpa believes you will definitely return safely. I'm looking forward to enjoying the good life with Minghui in the future."

After saying this, he successfully made Puyang Minghui laugh through her tears. "Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Puyang Yucheng patted her head and nodded gently. "Okay, Grandpa believes in you." After saying that, he turned to look at Ji Moyu standing to the side. "You brat, come here too."

Upon hearing this, Ji Moyu stiffened slightly, but still walked over as instructed. Immediately afterwards, he was pulled into Puyang Yucheng's arms. Feeling the stiffness of the person in his arms, Puyang Yucheng said with dissatisfaction, "You brat, what are you so nervous about? Relax, what can I possibly do to you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Moyu's body stiffened even more, a hint of embarrassment on his face. Puyang Yucheng felt helpless, shook his head slightly, and said with a touch of pity, "You brat, you're such a worry. Don't just blindly charge into battle, you know? Only by staying alive can you have more possibilities."

Ji Moyu replied in a hoarse voice, "I understand, Grandpa."

After seeing Puyang Yucheng off, the group divided the medicine they had in their hands equally, then went to the supermarket and bought a lot of portable snacks before returning to the villa with satisfaction.

In the dead of night, all was quiet. Puyang Minghui quietly crept into Chu Qiuchi's room, lay down beside her, and held her hand tightly, saying, "Qiuchi, we're going to the war zone tomorrow. I'm a little scared. I want to sleep with you tonight."

Chu Qiuchi chuckled softly and squeezed her hand back: "Okay, we'll sleep together tonight. Don't be afraid, we'll be fine."

She gently patted Minghui's hand. "With 'Youyun,' our danger has been greatly reduced. As long as we're careful, nothing will happen. Don't worry, we'll always be with you."

Puyang Minghui pursed her lips, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes, "But, isn't it a bit inappropriate if only a few of us have 'Youyun'? What about the others..."

Chu Qiuchi smiled slightly, "You can't say that. 'Youyun' is something we developed ourselves, so there's nothing wrong with us having priority in using it. Besides, we spent our own money and forged it ourselves, so no one has any reason to force us not to use it. As for the others, it depends on how the Empire decides. We can't save everyone, we can only do our part."

Then, she changed the subject, "However, we really shouldn't be too high-profile, as it could easily cause unnecessary trouble. If some idiot is jealous of us and tries to sabotage us behind our backs, that's when things can easily go wrong on the battlefield. We must be discreet, discreet, and discreet when we get there."

Puyang Minghui chuckled quietly, "Qiu Chi, with our current reputation, can we still keep a low profile? If we were to reveal this magical artifact, our camp would probably be trampled to pieces."

Chu Qiuchi: "..."

"Then we must be careful. After all, the materials are rare, and I'm afraid the empire won't be able to provide too many magical artifacts in the short term. Alas, there's nothing we can do; being too outstanding easily attracts hatred."
