Chapter 58 Harlan Vera’s mentor

Yuli Burns was a little surprised as she took the certification certificate of Witch Sophia from Locke. The certificate had the personal signature seal of Witch Sophia.

A formal wizard will have a seal that is unique to him, which is cast with magic from a special enchantment school and is basically impossible to imitate.

Yuli carefully examined the meaning of the seal and confirmed that it was a certificate issued by a first-ring wizard who was also a first-ring breeder and a first-ring potion master.

At the same time, she looked at the certification document, which listed the various properties of the Super Mandrake Vine. “Both its strength and speed exceed those of the Tivro Root Vine by 15%, and its flexibility is 1.1 times that of an ordinary Tivro Root Vine.”

“If this test data is true, then…”

Yuli raised her head and looked at Locke very seriously for the first time, because she remembered what Locke said – this work was completed under the guidance of Witch Sophia.

This means that even though there was a lot of help from formal wizards, this work was made by the second-class wizard apprentice in front of him.

This was created by a young wizard from the overseas mortal world who had just arrived at Lilith’s Hut for over a year!

Yuli no longer had any natural contempt for Locke, the second-class wizard apprentice, but instead treated Locke as a person of the same class.

After all, the status of a breeder’s assistant, especially a very talented breeder, in the eyes of the academy may not be lower than that of a first-class wizard apprentice, and may even be higher.

Of course, in front of the first-class wizard apprentice, Locke, as a second-class wizard apprentice, is still too immature in terms of martial arts and magic levels in other fields.

Yuli corrected herself and said, “With the certification of the official wizard, Lady Sophia, there’s no need to doubt its authenticity.”

“Locke, you’re so lucky. Of course, this is also based on your talent.” Yuli cast an envious glance at Locke. “You met a good teacher, and you yourself are talented.”

She no longer addressed Locke as “junior”, but called him by his name directly.

Yuli said, “Unlike me, my luck is very bad. Locke, you know, as soon as I entered Lilith’s cabin, I was assigned to mentor Harlan Vera.”

Locke nodded and said, “Lord Vera is one of the most powerful potion masters in Lilith’s cottage.”

His level of potions is far above that of Teacher Sophia.

After all, he is an old and official wizard. It is said that he is almost three hundred years old this year. Old Deng still relies on the effects of magic potions to maintain his physical peak, and his magic power has not shown any signs of decline.

I really don’t know how many more years Harlan Vera plans to live.

Yuli sighed. “But, Teacher Vera, you’re a typical genius-only person.”

“Wizard apprentices like us who lack talent will not be taken seriously by him. He only cares about those gifted ones like you.”

“It’s not just Teacher Vera, many formal wizards are like this. Many formal wizard instructors even treat students as their own experiments, experimenting on their newly created spell models; or they treat students as their own laborers, working for them for free, and rarely teach them anything real.”

Yuli seemed genuinely a bit overwhelmed, but she changed the subject. “Let’s get back to business. Li Jin Mi Yu usually charges a 20 to 30 percent handling fee for purchasing goods.”

Locke raised his eyebrows. He didn’t expect that the handling fee of Li Jin Secret Language would be so expensive.

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

In most cases, the magical plants cultivated by breeders and sold to Li Jin Secret Language are in a relatively weak position.

Li Jin Mi Yu has a sufficiently stable customer base and can sell at a relatively high price, which is much better than the breeders selling it themselves.

Most breeders are unwilling to waste their valuable research time on commercial activities.

But my situation is special, so the Super Mandrake Vine shouldn’t be difficult to sell.

It’s just a temporary lack of popularity.

Yuli pointed to the rows of vine language boxes on the shelf that were about arm’s length long. Those dark green boxes were made of special tiny magical vines that were entangled and woven together to form an exquisite box.

Basically, all the magical plants of Li Jin Secret Language are packed in this kind of vine language box, so that these magical plants can be protected to the greatest extent.

Yuli said, “This is the ordinary quality Tifrogan vine in our store, priced at 20 magic stones.”

She opened the Vine Language Box, revealing a Tifrogane vine with roots, stems, branches and leaves inside the dark green box.

“Locke, we at Lijin Secret Language have a second commission calculation method, which is only for masterpieces by masters, or outstanding works by apprentices under certain special circumstances, such as this new variety of magic vine you completed under the guidance of Lady Sophia.”

“I can buy your Super Mandrake vines directly for 20 magic stones each.”

“You don’t have to worry about sales later. I’ll just hand the magic stones over to you.”

Yuli said, “From now on, every time you come here, you can sell it this way. As you can see, the price of the Tifrogens here is only 20 magic stones.”

“It’s a fair price.”

Locke shook his head slightly. “A buyout is fine. It would save both of us a lot of trouble.”

“But I have a problem with the price. 20 magic stones won’t do. I want 30.”

Yuli raised her brows. She didn’t expect that the second-class wizard apprentice in front of her would be so difficult to deal with.

Yuli shrugged and smiled smoothly, “Dear Locke, you can’t let Li Jin Secret Words earn nothing, right?”

“You saw it too. The Tifrogan vine only sold for 20 magic stones in Lijin Secret Language. When it was purchased, the price was even lower.”

Locke wasn’t about to back down. “You can put a higher price on my Super Mandrake Vine.”

“It’s up to you, I don’t care.”

“For wizard apprentices, if a magic vine’s overall performance is increased by approximately 15%, they will be willing to spend more magic stones to purchase it.”

Yuli pondered for a moment, weighing the pros and cons, remembering Madam Irina’s previous rebuke of her. She realized that Li Jin Secret Language really needed to launch a new magical plant variety that would be memorable to the guests.

She smiled and said, “Okay, Locke, then it’s 30 magic stones. Just think of it as a friend.”

“Locke, Lijin Secret Language always welcomes talented breeders like you.”

“That’s 900 magic stones in total. I’ll count them out for you right away.”

Locke nodded and ordered two gray dwarf servants to deliver the goods.

Locke said to Yuli, “Senior, I don’t want to bother with too much trouble. I’ll hand over all my future works to Li Jin Mi Yu.”

Yuli’s eyes flashed with surprise, and she quickly replied, “Of course, dear Locke, you are simply my savior.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll do my best to give you a satisfactory price for all future transactions. Li Jin Mi Yu has a large enough customer base to handle all of your requests.”

Yuli handed Locke a sack of magic stones and a badge. “Dear Locke, this is the Platinum Star membership badge of Li Jin Secret Language.”

“Use this badge to buy magical plants at Li Jin Secret Language and get a 5% discount on all prices. This is a gift from Senior Sister.”

Yuli glanced at Locke’s two gray dwarf servants and said with a smile, “Dear Locke, gray dwarfs are selfish, timid, and cowardly servants, and they are not very useful. You really should go to the slave market in Chimera Market and buy some high-quality servants.”

As the manager of Lijin Secret Language, Yuli naturally had to do her best to maintain a good relationship with a talented breeder like Locke, so she deliberately offered a favor. “Recently, a group of cat princesses with ancient bloodlines were sent to the Chimera Market in Lilith’s cabin.”

“They were obtained after the destruction of an orc empire in the mortal region of the southeastern corner. Although catwomen are not rare, these cat princesses are said to have a trace of the bloodline of the ancient creature [Three-Eyed Tiger-Eye Cat]. Whether used as servants or as experimental materials, they are valuable.”

Yuli smiled and said, “Dear Locke, if you are interested, you can go to the Slave Warehouse in the Chimera Market and take a look.”

“Not many people know about this news now, so there should still be some available for purchase.”
