Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Miracle?

Gu Jin couldn’t help but marvel at the mesmerizing mystic seed...

How come something looks so beautiful?

She slowly walked toward the mystic seed and asked softly,

"Is it done?"

"Done Master!"

"Can I touch it?"

"Yes, Master."

Gu Jin slowly raised her hand and held the seed. A wave of current flashed past in her body.

"How much time will I require if I want to absorb it completely?"

"At least 10 days Master."

"10 days?" Gu Jin was surprised.

She only required 3 days to complete absorb the Plant Mystic Seed, so why did her Dark Fire Element Mystic Seed have such a long period?

"You must be wondering why it requires 10 days right?"

Gu Jin waited for him to continue and sure enough, she heard Space say,

"The more pure the resource is the more time it is required to absorb it."

Gu Jin was amazed and asked,

"By 10 days absorption period, how much better it is from other resources?"

"If you grade it as a class, then Normal Fire Mystic Seeds are class F, and Normal Dark Fire Mystic Seeds are class D. However the one in front of you is at least of class B."

Gu Jin nodded and said,

"Thank you for your hard work."

"It’s nothing! It’s nothing, master!" The space’s voice sounded a bit shy.

Gu Jin placed the Mystic Seed aside and started looking for information on Solar Plant Vein.

Suddenly she asked,

"Does the space only have the function to merge different types of recourses?"

"No master the space has much more function. It can create different types of resources too however for that you should know Chaos Magic, White Magic, and Black Magic as well as Alchemy and Armament."

Gu Jin was surprised,

"So you can indeed create resources. As long as I learn all of these 5 skills, I will be able to craft any resource?"

"Most probably yes master." The space replied.

Gu Jin asked,

"But how is this possible?"

"Master Chaos Magic is the origin of every magical element, once you understand its principle and have a good grasp of it, you can understand the origin of resources and hence you will know what ingredients the resource requires.

White Magic and Black Magic act as a source of energy. Alchemy and Armament helps you craft it into a physical form."

Gu Jin was instantly motivated and asked,

"What are the criteria?"

"Huh?"

"I mean till what level of skills should I reach to use them to craft a resource."

The space was silent,

"The moment you understand the principle of Chaos Magic, the moment you understand the true nature of White and Black Magic, and the moment you reach Master level of your Alchemy and Armament."

Gu Jin narrowed her eyes and asked,

"You don’t know about the actual criteria right?"

The space suddenly turned silent.

Gu Jin sighed.

She was excited for nothing.

For now, she has to keep the matter of creating resources aside. Some things can only be focused on when you have reached the appropriate level.

Gu Jin started cultivating since she couldn’t absorb the Dark Fire Seed right away.

.........

In a deep forest.

"Broth...Cough....Brother Song, please....cough...cough please leave. Or else you will die!" A young lady with baby pink hair tugged at a young man’s clothes.

Both of them were covered in blood and looked severely injured.

The young named Brother Song gritted his teeth,

"No! Su Qing! I won’t leave you especially when we can be saved!" The young man said with hope in his eyes.

Su Qing chuckled bitterly and remained him,

"Brother Song we are at least 10km from the safe zone, covered in blood and haunted Soul class beast. We can’t outrun those Soul class beasts!"

"We can! Su Qing doesn’t think negatively. Do you have any speed pill or something?"

Su Qing shook her head.

She and Song Hancheng were best friends and they belonged to an ordinary magic school.

While they wished to change their circumstances and stand at the top of the Magic World someday, currently the situation didn’t look good for them.

Coming from a middle-class family and having just enough money to have 3 meals, they had to fight for resources.

The best way to earn resources is through looking for them. Forests are usually the best option to find free resources.

Till now they had raided different forests to look for the resources but today their luck was particularly bad...

The forest they decided to raid had just happened to be raided by a top hunter group. At first, everything was well, but when both the teams had their eyes on the same resource a clash started and both sides injured themselves.

Even though she and her Brother Song were at the peak of the intermediate Rank, they were totally insignificant against the top hunter group whose each member is at advanced rank!

Within a few moves, she and her Brother Song were defeated.

But that wasn’t the thing that made them so injured and helpless...

It was the sudden emergence of hordes of Soul Class Beast that left them in such a helpless situation.

The top hunter group was completely wiped out by the group of Soul Class Beast whose next target was them.

For the past 4 hours, they ran to various steep areas to hide and even tried their best to wash off the smell.

Even though they were not that good at fighting, they were best at escaping because of their special escaping artifact.

However the artifact was on its cool-down time and they could only use it for one last time, which resulted in their current predicament.

What confused Su Qing was ...why were they not able to escape the forest.

Each time they tried to exit the forest using the equipment, they landed at some other location.

It was as if...someone had put them in a maze!

And the only way is to not use the current artifact they have and manually cross that 10 km.

They don’t have any other artifacts or magical equipment to help them escape, so crossing those 10 km seemed impossible to them especially when they knew that Soul Class Beasts were hiding in the dark waiting for them to come out.

As for pills? What a joke! When they were hardly able to have 3 meals a day, how could they spend money on those pills?

At most, they would buy Apprentice level pills.

However, now that they have reached such a situation...Su Qing wished she could go back to the past and buy some Yellow Level Pills.

At least with those pills, she would be able to cross 5 km.

"Su Qing I have a speed pill and a Vitality pill. There were some free samples I acquired this morning, I am going to eat them and piggyback you and run straight ahead.

If we make it, then we will never visit this forest but if can’t..." Song Hancheng didn’t finish his words but Su Qing understood his meaning.

"What free pills..."

She was halfway through her sentence when a dangerous aura made their heart start thumping loudly.

Su Qing’s eyes widened and Song Hancheng suddenly took out the pills and ate them.

Without a word, he crouched down.

Su Qing closed her eyes and said,

"Brother even if you want to leave it’s better if you leave on your own."

What if those pills were really effective then one of them could escape? And if one among them could escape she wished that it could be Song Hancheng...

Song Hancheng’s face hardened as he said,

"Qing’er I won’t repeat. Even if we are to die, let’s die together."

Su Qing’s hands and feet turned cold as she felt the dangerous aura nearing them.

Her eyes turned watery and her body shivered. They were near their death...

Even if the pills are amazing they are only apprentice-level pills! They won’t be able to make it.

But...

Seeing the eagerness in Song Hancheng’s eyes, Su Qing closed her eyes and got onto Song Hancheng’s back.

Song Hancheng stood up and before he could start running he felt his drained-out energy recovering quickly.

And a strange kind of power took over him.

It was as if he would be able to run 100 miles within a few seconds.

Even the wounds that were making him feel fatigued, seemed to have healed...

Song Hancheng felt energized and just as he started running, he heard Su Qing say,

"Brother Song Hancheng, I love you. I wish I could have confessed to you long ago."

This would have been a romantic confession if not for the situation they were in.

Su Qing’s words were not like a confession...they were like her last words.

"Shut up!" Song Hancheng said and started running.

His heart was beating as he used the artifact for one last time and prayed,

"Please! Please god have mercy on us. I wish some miracle to happen!"
