Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Peak Of Apprentice Level

"How much time does it take to reach Earth Rank?" Gu Jin asked.

"At least 10 years if you are a genius. Yes! If a person is at yellow rank then he needs at least 10 years to reach Earth Rank." Ren Aiguo said.

Gu Jin’s mouth twitched,

"And what if the person is at apprentice rank?"

"To reach the peak of apprentice rank, one needs 4 years. To reach the peak of Yellow rank, one needs 7 years."

"So if a person wants to reach Earth Rank, he needs at least 21 years?"

"You can say that. Provided you don’t meet any obstacle and you are a genius."

Gu Jin suddenly wanted to test her rank,

"I want to test my level of Alchemy."

"You have started to study Alchemy already?" Ren Aiguo asked in shock.

"Hm!" Gu Jin nodded.

"What a coincidence I am an Alchemist too, so let me test you." Ren Aiguo said.

Gu Jin nodded.

Ren Aiguo asked her various herbs names, and the final result shocked him,

"You...you are at the peak of Apprentice Level."

Gu Jin’s eyes brightened. She too thought that she could start practicing alchemy, but she was afraid to blow up the space and didn’t know if her knowledge was enough to start practicing Alchemy, hence she didn’t dare to make any assumptions or practice.

"So can I start practicing alchemy?"

"Yup. I think you should find a mentor after appraising your level." Ren Aiguo suggested.

In his heart though he was marvelling at Gu Jin’s talent.

Not only did she have a rare element like Dark Fire, but she also was a genius in Alchemy.

Ren Aiguo thought that Gu Jin had some prior knowledge of herbs.

Otherwise, how could she reach the peak of Apprentice level within half a year?

He assumed that Gu Jin had started to learn about herbs from the age of 5 or 10, which was still quite expectional.

Gu Jin knew about the appraisal and decided to get it done tomorrow.

She moved to her next target,

"I want some real-life battle experience."

Even though dealing with Venomous Mosquitoes was difficult, it wasn’t to the point that she had a hard time.

If she relied on these small missions to gain experience, then she would need 2 more years before she could face any danger by herself.

"I can take you with me for adventures only when you reach at advanced level."

Gu Jin shook her head,

"I don’t want to go on an adventure with you."

"Why, you fear that I will take the majority share of loot? I am not that petty." Ren Aiguo said with a chuckle.

"You are indeed not petty but you are ugly to look at." Gu Jin said with a sweet smile.

Ren Aiguo: "..."

Ren Aiguo poked her head,

"You heartless kid!"

Gu Jin dodged him and said,

"You have helped me a lot already, I can’t rely on you anymore. I only need suggestions. If I go on an adventure with you, then you will try your best to keep me safe, which will subconsciously make me feel that I will be fine even in a dangerous environment or I can be dependent on someone, which is not true."

Ren Aiguo gave a side glance and when he saw Gu Jin’s serious expression and sincere eyes, he sighed in his heart.

Such a good seedling.

Compared to those brats in his clan who keep on asking for more experts to escape danger if they encounter any, Gu Jin was truly like an angel.

Ren Aiguo suggested,

"Hunter Groups accept mages above the primary level. Once you break through to the intermediate level, you can reapply."

Gu Jin nodded her head.

By the time Ren Aiguo dropped Gu Jin, Gu Jin had already gained a lot of information, submitted the Cage flower, and received her reward too, hence she couldn’t help but say,

"Thank you."

Ren Aiguo shook his head and said,

"Kid if you ever need any help just say it."

Gu Jin smiled but didn’t agree.

"You kid...really!" Ren Aiguo felt that Gu Jin was looking down on him since she didn’t know his real identity.

Gu Jin on the other hand had different thoughts.

Even if she was in danger she won’t ask for help. Even though she is somewhat acquainted with Ren Aiguo, and he has helped her a lot, they don’t have any relationship between them.

Remembering the token, Gu Jin took it out of the space and passed it to Ren Aiguo,

"Take this back. It is too precious for me to keep. Mr. Ren of Justice Council of the Magic Association."

Ren Aiguo’s eyes darkened.

He was surprised by Gu Jin’s intelligence. And even more surprised because even though Gu Jin knew about his identity, she didn’t rush forward to accept his offer.

Before he could reject it, Gu Jin placed the token in his hand and said,

"I have work to do. See you later."

Saying her words Gu Jin left.

If Ren Aiguo was earlier impressed by Gu Jin’s stubbornness and talent, now he admired her, because of her backbone.

Gu Jin returned to her apartment thinking about Ren Aiguo’s offer.

She didn’t brainlessly reject him. She had a trump card using which she could almost escape any dangerous situation.

When she entered the apartment, she saw Si Kai pacing back and forth.

"What happened kid?"

Si Kai looked in Gu Jin’s direction and hurriedly hugged her.

"Sister, where did you go? Do you know how tensed I was?"

It was then, that Gu Jin remembered that she hadn’t told Si Kai that she was going to be late.

"I am sorry."

"Don’t do it again."

"Hm." Gu Jin agreed.

After they had dinner, Gu Jin told her experience to Si Kai, whose eyes brightened.

Once Si Kai went back to his room, Gu Jin went to her space and started cultivating her Dark Fire element.
