The Mighty Mage
Chapter 169: Lumino

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: Lumino

Ying Yue was still worried and asked,

"But what if the other person notices me?"

"Little Ying you are misunderstanding my words." Gu Jin tapped on her forehead, "I don’t want you to never show your powers. One day when you become powerful, you can showcase your power.

By then even if that person notices you, he/she will not be able to do anything to you."

Ying Yue’s eyes brightened.

She had her own worries when Gu Jin told her that it would be cultivated. When she knew the entire truth, Ying Yue almost wanted to decline.

However, with Gu Jin’s assurance, Ying Yue gradually calmed down and asked her final question,

"Sister, if I pursue mystic cultivation and someday get caught...then won’t you be trouble for helping me?"

Gu Jin had already thought of this question.

In reality, it was indeed disadvantageous to Gu Jun.

She didn’t belong to any wealthy family. Currently, she doesn’t have any political power and she wasn’t also the strongest mage.

Without these three things, protecting Ying Yue would be a troublesome matter. Not to mention...

Who knows whether Ying Yue will still be loyal to her after gaining power in the future.

So it could be said that this time Gu Jin was gambling.

She was gambling on the fact that she knew Ying Yue and Ying Yue wouldn’t betray her.

"I will be in trouble but you don’t need to worry. Just cooperate with sister and sister would make you one of the most powerful people in this world." Gu Jin’s eyes shone with confidence.

Ying Yue was dazed when she saw Gu JIn’s confident look. Her mouth opened and closed a few times and she finally nodded.

In her heart, she took an oath,

"Sister Jin, from now on, till my death, I will be loyal to you. Even after my death, if I could help you I will!"

Gu Jin didn’t know Ying Yue’s inner thoughts and said,

"From now on, cultivate according to this method and tell me if you require any resources. Don’t worry I will sponsor you. In return, you can...help me when you become an adult."

Towards the end Gu Jin’s tone was faint.

After all, she didn’t want Ying Yue to truly repay. Ying Yue’s biggest repayment would be not betraying Gu Jin!

However Ying Yue took it to heart and said,

"Sister Gu, you don’t need to worry, I promise I will take care of you in the future."

Gu Jin chuckled and passed Ying Yue the manual. Then she left.

Soon Gu Jin arrived outside the house she had bought.

She muttered in a small voice,

"Let’s practice."

The beast occupying Gu Jin’s house: "..." Why do I have a bad feeling?

For the next 2 hours, Gu Jin fought with the beasts and collected their cores and skin.

It was a very fruitful harvest and Gu Jin was thinking of buying more such houses.

No kidding. Not only she would gain battler experience but she would also be able to generate a passive source of income.

With this thought, Gu Jin checked her bank balance and her smile froze.

Looking at her bank balance, Gu Jin sighed and motivated herself,

"You can do it! So what if you have less than 20,000 yuan in your account? You can earn half a million daily now! "

Gu Jin hadn’t visited the store for the past month, let alone had the time to collect the profits.

So her bank balance was indeed not high.

Not to mention she had deposited her 97% of money in the auction house.

She now was in need of Fire Solar Vein. She needs to combine her Fire Solar Vein with the Dark Solar Vein to create Dark Fire Solar Vein and break through to intermediate rank.

There was also Plant Lumino.

After inquiring for a long time, Gu Jin got to know that to break through to Advance Rank, one needs a Lumino of the specific element.

A Lumino is liquid. To break through to Advance Rank, you only need to drink 6 drops of Lumino.

A single bottle of Lumino contains 18 drops and hence sometimes few people form groups and buy it through contribution.

It is cost-effective, considering how expensive a single bottle of Lumino is.

Even Gu Jin was shocked by the price.

It was worth 300 million!

Why don’t they just rob a bank?

The cost to break through from the Primary rank to the Intermediate rank is around 120 million yuans.

Gu Jin thought that it was too much.

She thought, that since only one item was required to break through to advanced rank, it wouldn’t be more than 100 million.

It was great now...

Then there were some other herbs that Gu Jin required for her alchemy.

So the 900 million that had been saved, was all deposited in the auction house.

Gu Jin made a trip to her store and was delighted to find that the last month’s profit was more than 40 million!

After deducting the cost of labor, disturbing the dividend, and giving Song Hancheng his share of the commission, she was still left with 25 million.

Gu Jin grinned.

Song Hancheng looked at Gu Jin and hesitated for a long time before giving up.

Gu Jin asked him,

"Brother Song, is there something that is troubling you?"

"Ah...nothing Brother Su." Song Hancheng waved his hand hurriedly.

"Are you sure?" Gu Jin asked.

"Y-yes." Song Hancheng nodded stiffly.

Gu Jin narrowed her eyes.

She felt that Song Hancheng’s behavior was odd, so she decided to keep an eye on Song Hancheng.

Though Song Hancheng seem like an honest person, Gu Jin could never trust someone she had only known for half a year.

Gu Jin returned to the Long Mansion and checked on Jasmine. After performing acupuncture on her, Gu Jin returned to her room and entered her space.

She planted some fruits and started to cultivate her elements.

After cultivating her three elements one by one, Gu Jin started to practice alchemy,

On finishing the practice, Gu Jin on the grass and looked at the galaxy-like sky in front of her.

After 10 minutes, she took out her phone and played the engagement video.

Gu Jin played the video again and again and felt ashamed at the same time.

She may show that the reason why she asked for the video was to resolutely give up on Long Yifan but the truth was in her heart she was secretly imagining herself as the bride...

After looking at the video for more than 20 times, Gu Jin searched news about Long Yifan and indeed saw the news about how Long Yifan was going into seclusion.

She also read the comments one by one and realized that 90% of the comments were filled with people who admired Long Yifan and wanted to become like him.

Most of them even claimed to marry him.

5% of people were commenting on how handsome he was. 3% of people commented that they wanted to have a duel with him and only 2% of people were spreading hate.

The comment that amused Gu Jin the most was,

’I hate him! He seduced my girlfriend! Now my girlfriend only has eyes for him! How hateful!’

Gu Jin chuckled.

She wanted to tell the commenter that he can’t get justice in such a manner and he should do the same to Long Yifan.

But she held herself back and threw away her phone.

Taking a deep breath she started to cultivate again.

....

Three months passed just like that.

In the past three months, many things changed.

Gu Jin found a Fire Solar Vein and was able to pass it to the space to make Dark Fire Solar Vein, who promised to give her a Dark Fire Solar Vein in 6 months.

Gu Jin could only agree.

Her alchemy didn’t increase much. As for Gu Jin’s cultivation, she mainly focused on her Fire element.

Since she can’t announce the existence of her Plant and Dark Fire elements and can only use the Fire element, Gu Jin decided to focus more on the Fire Element.

It wasn’t like she neglected other elements.

But just with the fact that her fire element was about to reach Intermediate Rank Tier 2, it could be seen how much effort Gu Jin was putting into her Fire Element.

Gu Jin also accompanied Shadow Fangs in many missions and by now she had completed more than 8 tasks.

She even got her hunter badge. Even though it was only of novice rank, Gu Jin was thrilled.

Gu Jin’s school resumed too and since she was the topper, Gu Jin’s school fee was waived.

Gu Jin refused to take the scholarship and passed to the third ranker, who just happened to be an orphan too.

Before Gu Jin didn’t have money and wanted to do everything to reduce the financial burden, but now she has a steady source of income.
