Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Talisman

Ying Yue waited for Gu Jin to become angry or shout. Worst come worst, kick her right away, but Gu Jin only frowned slightly.

After a while, Gu Jin left the room.

Ying Yue was becoming more worried.

Was Gu Jin finally going to kick her out?

Honestly, she wouldn’t resent Gu Jin if she indeed kicked her out. After all, she(Ying Yue) was the one who deceived her first.

But what made Ying Yue more worried was, Gu Jin getting disappointed.

She didn’t want to admit but Gu Jin’s warm attitude and Gu Jin’s hug the previous time gave Ying Yue the illusion that Gu Jin was her family...

If Gu Jin had shown even a bit of sadness, Ying Yue could have sworn that she would cry right away.

On the other hand, Gu Jin returned to her room.

Her mind was occupied with some other thoughts.

If her guess wasn’t wrong, Ying Yue, like Si Kai, would have to pursue some other cultivation.

What made Gu Jin curious was how the world of magic could have different cultivation.

It could only mean one thing...

All the other cultivation was suppressed except for magic.

But the question was why?

There must be some big reason behind it, right?

So would Si Kai and Ying Yue be in danger if they pursued different cultivation?

This was the thing that Gu Jin was most worried about.

She would rather let them be a waste than put them in danger.

Gu Jin unconsciously touched the ring and suddenly asked,

"Space do you know why other cultivation was suppressed?"

"I don’t know." The space said.

"So what do think, as to why other cultivations were suppressed? And is it possible to cultivate the other cultivation in this magic world?"

Even though Si Kai had pursued the Beast Tamer Cultivation and was able to achieve significant results, Gu Jin felt that something was not right.

"As far as I know, in the initial stage, all the energy is the same. So all types of cultivation can be cultivated for the initial stage, however as a person continues to advance, I don’t think they can achieve any result.

Especially in this world where the energy was altered"

"What? What do you mean by energy getting altered?" Gu Jin was confused.

"Each world has a specific type of energy flowing within them. In this world, the energy in the surroundings can only help Magic Awakener.

However, from the records, it is clear that other cultivation did exist before.

So the most reasonable explanation as to why cultivation other than magic was suppressed or forgotten was most probably to manipulate the energy in such a way that it only supports Magic Awakeners," the space continued.

"If the energy in this world was altered, it would explain why other forms of cultivation have faded or become ineffective beyond the initial stages."

Gu Jin pondered this revelation.

"So, essentially, someone or something tampered with the natural energy of this world to favor magic above all else. But why?"

The space was silent for a moment before responding,

"The most plausible reason would be to consolidate power. By ensuring that only one form of cultivation thrives, those in control could maintain a tighter grip on the populace.

If everyone is limited to magic, those who control or excel in magic hold the power."

Gu Jin felt a chill run down her spine.

If this was true, then pursuing other forms of cultivation could indeed be dangerous, not just because of the inherent risks of deviating from the norm, but because it might attract the attention of powerful entities who wouldn’t want the status quo disrupted.

"Is there any way to shield Si Kai and Ying Yue from these dangers while they pursue their respective paths?" Gu Jin asked.

"There might be ways to obscure their cultivation methods, but it would be difficult," the space replied.

"You would need to find ways to mask their energy signatures.’

Gu Jin understood what space meant.

Just like how her Dark Fire’s color was changed to ordinary fire to hide the fact that she had awakened the Dark Fire element.

Gu Jin entered space and at the same time, she started to make a plan in her mind.

Ying Yue can’t cultivate in open space.

But she can’t enter her(Gu Jin’s) space too.

Even though Ying Yue was pitiful, Gu Jin knew that sometimes the most pitiful person betrays you at a critical time.

Gu Jin ordered the space,

"I want to read a book on VoidBorn Body type."

Whoosh.

A book materialized in front of Gu Jin with a soft, ancient-looking cover and the title "VoidBorn Body: Myths and Realities."

Gu Jin’s mouth twitched when she read the title.

She picked it up and started flipping through the pages, absorbing the information quickly.

The VoidBorn Body type, it seemed, was exceptionally rare. Extremely bad for Magic Cultivation.

They can never awaken an element if they follow magic cultivation.

However, if they pursue Mystic Cultivation, they could awaken many elements and may even develop superpowers!

Gu Jin’s mouth widened in surprise.

A line that caught her attention the most was.

If the person with a Voidborn body type has good talent, they can awaken up to 7 elements and they can also become a high-tier talisman practitioner!

Talisman practicioner!

Gu Jin had heard countless times, how rare talisman practitioners are!

How a Yellow rank Fire Talisman can be sold for 10,000 yuan!

Mind her when she says that it is just a piece of paper and according to the book, if the Voidborn awakened person is talented they could make 10,000 talismans per day!

Ying Yue could easily live her life and would never have to worry about money!

What was more amazing is that other than mystic cultivation that could allow Ying Yue to awaken many elements, as well as become rich, she could also awaken superpower!

All in all, it was a godly cultivation.

Gu Jin’s eyes lit up with excitement as she read about the potential of the VoidBorn Body type.

She realized that if Ying Yue could harness this potential, she could become incredibly powerful and valuable.

However, this also meant that they had to be extremely careful to keep her abilities hidden until she was strong enough to protect herself.

Gu Jin closed the book and suppressed the excitement in her heart.

Gu Jin wanted to exit the space and tell Ying Yue the entire truth.

How amazing it would be to see the smile on Ying Yue’s face.

But suddenly she remembered the dangers and Gu Jin stopped.

A poor person’s biggest weakness is having treasure that they couldn’t protect.

If she told Ying Yue the truth, she would be happy and might even start to cultivate right away. Maybe in the near future, she might even become rich.

But what if she caught the eyes of those who had altered the energy of the world?

At that time Gu Jin won’t be able to protect Ying Yue at all...

Gu Jin knew that other than people she didn’t have any connections.

Even if she asks all of her connections to join hands and fight together, they won’t be able to save Ying Yue.

No kidding, if the enemy could alter the energy of the world, wouldn’t his existence be just next to god?

How could some supermages or emperor-rank mages be able to help her then?

Not to mention, who knows whether they will agree to help her or not.

This was also the reason why Gu Jin never told anyone about her true Mana.

Gu Jin shook her head and thought for a while, before exiting the space.

She made her way to Ying Yue and just before she could enter she heard the little girl’s sincere words,

"God! Grandmother, please help me! Please do something so that she doesn’t kick me out!"

Gu Jin’s heart melted and she entered the room with a stern expression,

"Am I such a bad person in your heart?"

Gu Jin’s sudden voice stunned Ying Yue and she patted her heart,

"Ufff! You scared."

Gu Jin shook her head and said,

"Why do you think I will kick you out?"

"Because...I am not useful?" Ying Yue said in a low voice.

Gu Jin thought for a while and said,

"In fact, I can never kick you out."

"Huh?" Ying Yue was surprised.

"Because I have promised someone to take care of you." Gu Jin said with a smile.

"Is it my father? Do you know where he is?" That was the first person who came into Ying Yue’s mind.

Gu Jin shook her head,

"No. She was an old lady I met."

Ying Yue’s brows furrowed and suddenly she asked,

"Did she perhaps...have a mole on her right cheek?"

Was it her neighbor Aunt Jiang? But how come she suddenly becomes so kind-hearted?

Gu Jin shook her,

"No. She had a kind smile. Oh right! She had a tear mole."
