Chapter 86: 6 Months Later

The green-blue gem palaces glowed alluringly as white pearls showered milky white radiance over them. Colorful seahorses and jellyfishes floated around her, as Princess Qamari made her way towards the Medicine Hall.

In the past 6 months, many changes occurred, both in her aura, appearance, and status.

Princess Qamari, who was already attention grabbing, became even more attracting as her every movement and gesture exuded grace and elegance.

Coupled with a slight increase in stature, her knee-length obsidian black hair that fanned like a silk cape around her, she commended respect and attention without lifting a finger.

The strong fragrance of medicine and soothing energy radiating off her body healed the heart of the injured before she even administrated any medical treatment. 

A pure-white trident, with engravings of plants, leaves, and stars marked her presence as she carried it in her hands. 

This was the medium, otherwise known as magical tool, that Elder Yun found for her to wield her light elemental ability. And the moment she got the trident, she never went anywhere without taking it along, becoming a symbolic item associated with her.

As of now, in the entire Sealand Academy, the trident representated her, in the same way spiritual and magical weapons were associated with their masters. The only difference was, the trident was a medium, instead of a spiritual or magical weapon.

"Sister Qamari, welcome back! We missed you!" A purple haired girl jumped to her feet the instant Princess Qamari entered the Medicine Hall. Rushing to her side, she excitedly clung to her arm, her face stretched into a wide, innocent smile.

"Hmm. Lu Yei, is Master here?" Princess Qamari indifferently asked.

"Sister Qamari, the moment you come back, you ask for Master. What about me, huh? Don't you see me here? Didn't you miss me?" The girl pouted, her oval face scrunching into a frown as she huffed in displeasure.

"Oh? of course. I just need to see Master for an important task." Princess Qamari had to pause in order to think of how to reply to the girl's query. However, in the end, she could not come up with a better way to answer her, resulting in her bland reply.

Time changed, with that, her aura and presence as well.

However, if there was one thing that did not change, it was her inherent indifference and cold attitude. No matter how much time passed, it was a trait that stubbornly stuck around.

"Hahaha....Sister Qamari, you really cannot lie. From your reply, it is pretty clear that you only came for Master. As for the others, let alone missing, they probably never crossed your mind, right?" The purple hair girl's sharp eyes stared at her accusingly, demanding an answer.

Never one for intimate talks, Princess Qamari was stumped. 

How was she supposed to answer that? Admit that, yes, they never crossed her mind? or deny and lie that they crossed her mind.

Either way, both replies would be wrong, as one would be hurting them, the other would be lying to them.

"Lu Yei, stop bothering my favorite student."

At this moment, a middle-aged woman's voice drifted into the hall, saving Princess Qamari from her dilemma.

"But Master, when did I bother Sister Qamari? I just spoke the truth. Sister Qamari probably never misses us when she goes out on missions." There was a wronged expression on the girl's face as she dissatisfiedly glared at her.

"Princess Qamari, ignore her. Come, show me what you brought back." There was an obvious excitement in the woman's voice as she said this.

Sighing in relief at the timely rescue, Princess Qamari followed the voice to locate the speaker.

"Yes, yes. Go, Sister Qamari. You, Master and disciple, spend every single moment with each other. How could you possibly any time have to spare for little spares like us?"

As Lu Yei's voice drifted behind her, Princess Qamari finally located her Master, concocting a new recipe for healing severed limbs in a side cabin.

"You're here? Quick, show me what you brought today!" The impatience and excitement palpitating off the middle aged woman was practically tangible.

Her pink hair, pulled into a ponytail above her head, was messily hanging around her face. With her bright smile and pink eyes, she looked more like one of the colorful fishes floating around the academy grounds.

A brief smile flashed across Princess Qamari's lips, and she placed her trident on the side.

"Hmm. Just a second Master."

Extending her hand, she removed a small shack from her waist. The shack was adorned with lavender leaves and plants, emitting a faint medicinal aroma.

Princess Qamari placed the shack on the work-desk beside her Master, carefully removing the wilting fruit inside.

The fruit was red, with tiny green seeds glowing like jewels embedded around it.

Found on the seabed of the academy's outskirts, this fruit was a called Instant Restoring Limbs Fruit. As the name suggested, it had the ability to instantly restore any severed limbs. 

However, due to it's rarity and environment of growth, it was a hard find within the entire Iris realm. 

Due to a series of coincidences, Princess Qamari came across the fruit two months ago. After relying it to her Master, Elder Wen Wan, she received 100 merit points for the discovery of rare plants.

This allowed her to instantly meet the requirement for her status upgrade and placed her in charge of overseeing the successful fruition of the fruit. 

As a rare fruit, the Instant Restoring Limbs Fruit did not only require harsh environment to grow, it also required light magic wielders to oversee its growth period.

Princess Qamari, being the only light magic wielder in the entire academy, was the only candidate able to oversee its successful growth.

Moreover, she was a medical apprentice of the Medicine Hall, possessing greater knowledge and experience in terms of plant evolution. If any problem arose during the fruit's growth, she would know what steps to take.

And because the academy placed great importance on the fruit, they placed her in charge of it. This was due to the fact that once the fruit completed its growth, the academy would finally be able to create concoctions that could regrow limbs, giving hope to magicians with severed limbs.

As she now successfully completed the mission, Princess Qamari would receive another 110 merit points.

Elder Wen Wan looked at the wrinkly fruit before her with shiny eyes. Hands trembling, she gently picked it up and looked closely for examination.

"It truly is the Instant Restoration Limbs Fruit. With this, the recipe for the healing limbs would be complete. Now, we don't have to be afraid of the mixture failing!"

Stretching her hand, she approvingly patted Princess Qamari's shoulder, her eyes not once moving from the fruit.

"You did very well, Princess Qamari. For the first time after more than 3 centuries, there will be an Instant Restoration Limbs potion in the seven realms. This an honorable glory for our academy. You now have the qualification to participate in the mid-year examination."

"Is the Instant Restoration Limbs Fruit growth successful?" At this moment, a disheveled figure burst into the tiny cabin. Worn and battered, the figure looked more like a beggar than an elder of the academy.

"Well, of course! My genius disciple managed to successfully grow the fruit." Exhilarated, Wen Wan proudly declared as she held the fruit out. With such a smug and prideful appearance, anyone would mistake her as the one to accomplish the awe-inspiring deed.

In her joyous reverie, she didn't even notice the pathetic appearance of the elder crashing into her work cabin.

"It's successful? That is great! Really great! Elder Wen, hurry. Create the Instant Restoration Limbs potion. Hurry!" The elder's eyes were flowing with desperation as he ran over and held Elder Wen Wan's shoulders.

"Okay, okay. Calm down Elder Hulan. I was planning on creating the potion anyway. Without you even rushing me, I know how groundbreaking matter this is. The sooner we have the potion out, the greater the prestige of our academy will grow."

Princess Qamari, as the only individual not blinded with joy at the fruit's growth, immediately noticed the abnormality of the flustered elder. From the vibe he radiated, she could tell the elder's desperation was personal, and had nothing to do with the academy's prestige.

"Elder Hulan, what happened? Why are you so flustered?" Her calm, soothing voice filled the room as she patiently asked.

Wen Wan, catching on to her apprentice's words, finally returned to her senses. Her expression turned serious as she focused on the elder.

Sighing tiredly, the elder swept his hand over his face and leaned on the desk-work.

"It's, it's Rong Li. While battling a Worge beast, his left hand got severed."

*

The island flourished with verdant foliage and vegetation, the cry of wild beasts reverberating in the region. The ancient trees stretched into the clouds as they blocked the sun and prevented sunlight from seeping through.

Roars and howls of many vicious beasts hidden within the thick forest resounded.

"Brother Lail, we got the beast encircled! Now!"
