The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: A+ Rank Pills

The three elders were taken aback by Gu Jin’s gesture.

Old Xiang spoke first, his voice filled with emotion,

"Child, you don’t have to do this. We’re simply doing what we can to support you."

Old Wu nodded in agreement,

"Indeed. We’re not helping you with the expectation of receiving anything in return."

Old Fan chimed in,

"But we appreciate your gesture. Rest assured, we will support you in any way we can, regardless of shares or dividends."

Gu Jin shook her head,

"I insist you take this share. I am not trying to return your favor. I am just ensuring that I have a clear concise."

Old Wu chuckled,

"Child opening an Alchemy shop is not easy let me tell you. Not only there will be various difficult people you will have to deal with.

There will also be a day when you won’t be able to sell anything. I am not discouraging you, I am telling you the harsh reality so that you won’t feel defeated when you face it.

In such a situation if we take away the money that you earned with hard work especially when you are hardly able to make any profit, then aren’t we scamming you?"

Gu Jin stood up and took out a box.

Without saying anything she passed the box to the three elders and said,

"Why don’t you see it for yourself? If you think the pills are not passable then I will not continue the idea of opening a stall anymore."

The three elders looked at each other and then turned their attention to the box Gu Jin had placed before them.

With curious anticipation, they opened it to reveal a selection of neatly arranged pills.

Old Fan spoke up, his tone cautious,

"Child, are you sure about this? We appreciate your gesture, but we don’t want you to feel obligated to prove anything to us."

In his heart, he was thinking about whether Gu Jin was even successful in making any pill.

After all, Gu Jin didn’t receive any training, so it was quite possible that the pills she made were not even beneficial for the body and may even be poisonous.

Not like he was doubting Gu Jin’s capability, but even he made poisonous pills on his first try.

It was only after learning alchemy for 2 months that he was able to make edible pills.

Gu Jin stared at Old Fan,

"I believe, that it is better if you try testing it before concluding."

Old Fan was about to say something when Old Wu said,

"Alright. Please wait."

Old Wu signalled Old Fan to remain silent and Old Wu with 2 elders took the box and entered the testing room.

"Old Wu you are not serious, right? Are you really going to test the pills?"

Old Wu looked at Old Fan and sighed,

"I don’t want to hurt the child by doubting her. We can stay in this room for 5 hours, not perform any test so we won’t get disappointed and then when go out, we will just say that the pill is not up to the mark."

Old Fan was hesitant at first but then he nodded.

Gu Jin wasn’t the only person who had asked them to examine her pills.

Like her, they had seen tens of thousands of people. At first, they were hopeful to find some amazing talent, then the disappointing result from time to time made them lose hope.

Finally, they were so disappointed that they stopped having any hope.

Gu Jin’s actions were the same as others.

Among those people who wanted their pills to be examined, almost 50% of them wanted to open a shop.

Result? Only 1% of them were able to run a shop successfully, and that was only after using underhanded methods.

49% of the people almost died repaying the loan and never touched the alchemy.

All they wanted was to ensure that Gu Jin didn’t suffer the same setback as those who came before her.

They knew the harsh realities of the alchemy business, and they didn’t want Gu Jin to face unnecessary hardship.

"Alright."

"Hey, Old Xiang why are you so silent and staring at the pills?" Old Fan asked.

Old Xiang looked at Old Fan and Old Wu with a hesitant gaze and finally, after a long while he said,
