Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Need More Money!

But seeing Brother Xiang’s lackey struggling under a basic spell, Gu Jin felt her assumption was wrong.

Was it that middle-aged man or that young man?

"It was the seller of Zero."

’What a great twist.’ Gu Jin thought.

"Why? Why did he ask you to attack me?"

"To take away Zero." Brother Xiang said with pain in his voice.

Gu Jin raised an eyebrow,

"And why is that?"

"The seller of this mystic seed placed the mystic seed in the auction house with 3 conditions. The first two were satisfied by you but the third one was beneficial to the seller.

The third condition was... that with each passing day, if the auction house failed to sell Zero, they would have to pay the seller a magic stone."

Gu Jin’s eyes narrowed as she processed Brother Xiang’s words. The situation was becoming clearer to her now.

The seller of Zero had set up a cunning trap, using the allure of the mystic seed to manipulate the auction house into a precarious position.

"Why did the auction house owner, agree in the first place?"

"Because of the seller’s claims to not take any share of price once the mystic seed is sold."

Gu Jin nodded and felt the owner was smart.

However...

"Your boss is smart, but he is unlucky too. Tell me his name and how he looks."

"His name is Pan Zhong. He has black hair, tall height, and an average-looking face." Brother Xiang said.

He didn’t dare to mislead Gu Jin since he had a feeling that she was not someone to be trifled with.

Gu Jin stood up,

"Now, pass me your all valuable items and remember to move to some other city."

"You...." Brother Xiang was about to scold Gu Jin for being greedy when he saw the green ball of energy in her hand and instantly became obedient.

Gu Jin happily looted Brother Xiang and his lackey.

Leaving the alley, Gu Jin changed her attire 3 times and roamed around the city for the next 2 hours before finally returning to her home.

Once home, Gu Jin had her dinner and went to her space to completely refine the Mystic Seed.

She understood that she was attacked by 2 groups, one of them was beaten by her, and the other probably only wanted to scrutinize her powers and they would most likely not continue to attack her.

Hence she didn’t continue investigating.

Gu Jin was indeed right, the person who attacked her using a psychic ball didn’t investigate Gu Jin at all.

For the next 2 days, Gu Jin stayed in her space and refined the Mystic Seed completely.

Gu Jin excitedly opened her eyes.

She could feel her plant element leveling up.

Now she was at tier 2 of Plant Element. If she continued to cultivate her plant element she would be able to reach tier 3 of Plant Element in 2 months.

Or maybe in 3 months, she could even become an Intermediate Mage! Her only regret was that she didn’t have the chance to awaken an element on her own.

Gu Jin came out of her space with the Twin Forst Drake Core and called out Si Kai.

Si Kai came out of his room and closed his door as if he were hiding something.

Gu Jin had already noticed Si Kai’s sneaky behavior a long time ago, yet she didn’t ask what he was hiding.

For some reason, she had unconditional trust in Si Kai.

Handing the box to Si Kai, Gu Jin said,

"Here is a Frost Drake Core, for now, use it I will slowly bring more cores later."

Si Kai held the box with a dazed expression.

He opened the box and saw two Frost Drake Cores which were connected to each other. It was a bit sticky and disgusting to look but from his point of view, it was as if he had some inexplicable connection with it.

Gu Jin looked at the two Frost Drake Cores and was stunned.

"Sister, did...did...you spend 40 million?" Si Kai asked in a stammering voice.

Since his head was lowered Gu Jin didn’t see his expression and explained,

"No! Just 19.5 million! My god such a good bargain! I never thought that I would be lucky enough to get so much in just 19.5 million, looks like that day was indeed my lucky day!"

Si Kai’s vision blurred slightly due to the tears in his eyes.

If he was in the Si Family and had asked for a resource worth 19. 5 million, many elders would have questioned him and might even call him extravagant.

But not only his sister didn’t question him, she without a hitch bought one for him.

No questions, no demands...

She was a Mage herself and no doubt she would need resources herself too.

Yet not only she was supporting herself but also supporting him.

Just how kind his sister was?

Si Kai didn’t dare to cry and silently wiped his tears away,

"Thank you. Sister there is something I need to finish, I will talk to you later."

Gu Jin nodded.

She sensed Si Kai’s emotion but she knew that sometimes it’s better to give space.

Si Kai entered his room and closed the door.

He closed his eyes as he leaned on the door and said,

"Sister, I promise to become very powerful and support you. I will not let your efforts go in vain."

A hint of determination appeared in his eyes, as Si Kai got into cultivation position, opened the box, and placed the beast’s core in his hand.

.....

For the next 2 months, Gu Jin and Si Kai were busy in their cultivation.

Gu Jin’s Plant Element was on the verge of a breakthrough to the intermediate level.

Just a little push and she would be able to reach the intermediate level.

For the past 2 months, she was also learning about herbs and was surprised to find that she knew almost all the herbs.

This made her wonder whether there was some memory which she had forgotten...

Otherwise, how would she know the poison in Yun Jing’s body, even though she had seen it for the first time?

Various possibilities appeared in Gu Jin’s mind, however her financial situation diverted her attention.

After her small shopping spree, her account balance transformed from 28 million to 3 million yuan.
