Chapter 548 - Re-cultivated Keshe
"What happened, little brother Ajax? Why are you so shocked?"
Keshe asked Ajax in a curious tone when she saw how shocked Ajax was.
'...'
Ajax became speechless when he heard Keshe's question and hurriedly tried to think of something before saying, "This mirror is a heaven grade artifact, right?"
"Yes, it is a high-level heaven grade artifact," Keshe nodded her head and looked at Ajax for a moment before asking, "So, you are an appraiser? Good,"
Since Ajax had some mysterious techniques and different types of elemental spirit, she stopped surprised at Ajax.
Even if Ajax said he had a dimensional crevice, she would believe it without any surprise because Ajax was very mysterious to her.
"Yes," Ajax hurriedly nodded his head without any hesitation.
"So, you must have seen his uses and that must be the reason for your shock," Soon, Keshe understood the reason behind the shocked expression on Ajax's face.
Even though a heaven grade artifact was rare in the Zrochester province, she knew that it would not be enough to shock Ajax unless he appraised the effects and uses of her 'Fairy's treasure mirror'.
"Yes, Big sister. However, why is it bound to you?" Ajax nodded his head and asked a small doubt in his head because a weapon or artifact would not be bound to someone without a particular reason. So, he asked her about it out of curiosity.
For example, his two weapons, Bloodlust spear and Inheritance were bound to him and one other than Ajax could use those weapons.
And for the reason they were bound to him was because he upgraded the bloodlust spear and as for the inheritance, he gained the recognition of that sword by learning the sword technique. So, they were bound to him.
"Haha,"
Keshe laughed when she heard Ajax's question and said, "Do you want to know? There is a whole new concept that is related to the spirit beasts."
When she said that, Keshe acted like there was a great mystery behind her artifact.
"Huh?"
Ajax was confused at Keshe's sudden change in behaviour; however, he still nodded his head as he wanted to know what was the mystery.
"Let me see your friends before I explain it to you,"
Keshe nodded to her and said that she would reveal the mystery after her mirror shows his friends' faces.
Soon three faces appeared on the mirror that made Ajax emotional as he didn't see them for months now.
"It's over now. I will show them to my friends and ask them whether they have seen them anywhere and it will be helpful to recognize your friends anyway," Keshe slowly said to Ajax before keeping the mirror into her spirit consciousness.
"Now, it's time for you to know the greatest secret of the spirit beasts," Keshe tried to bring Ajax out of his emotional state and she was successful because Ajax revealed a smile at her actions and waited for her to continue.
"We spirit beasts undergo a process called 'Recultivation'. For that we need specific….,"
"Wait a second. So, you are acting mysterious about this 'Recultivation process' for the spirit beast?"
Before Keshe could complete her explanation, Ajax interrupted her in the middle as he lost all his previous interest in her previous mysterious act and asked her to stop explaining it.
"What? Why are you asking me to stop it? Don't say me you know about it already,"
Keshe became puzzled as she asked him the reason and when thought about a possibility, she became shocked.
The possibility of Ajax already knowing about the 'Recultviation process' made her completely shocked.
"Yes, I know. I learned it from an inheritance ground but it said the spirit beast required a specific cultivation technique to transform into a humanoid being. So, I didn't bother about it"
Keshe already knew so much about it and he didn't want to say that he already had three contracted spirits which used the re-cultivation technique to transform into humanoid beings.
So, he said that he learned about it from some inheritance grounds.
"Okay," Keshe didn't know what to say anymore as Ajax already knew about the re-cultivation process and thinking back to her earlier actions, she became embarrassed.
"See you after a week then,"
With giving any chance for Ajax's reply, she mounted on the demonic lion king and disappeared into the distance as though something had happened.
"See you then,"
Ajax shook his head as he waved his hand at the distant silhouette of Keshe and the demonic lion king.
"Anyway, since she promised to help me, I can not relax a bit,"
Nevertheless, Ajax was excited thinking about his friends and rushed towards the exit of the cursed wilderness.
Ajax was using his full speed to rush towards the exit of the cursed wilderness; however, just as he crossed the boundary that was connecting the middle-section and the outer section, he felt a familiar sensation in his spirit consciousness that made him halt for a moment.
'Roar'
As soon as he stopped and checked his surroundings, he heard a roar from the distance and hurriedly raised his guard up.
After continuous fighting and killing many spirit beasts, Ajax could guess that the roar belongs to a spirit beast of at least rank 5. Since all his skills and techniques were on cooldown, he knew it was not an easy thing to kill a rank 5 spirit beast. So, he raised his guard up.
'Roar'
'Growl'
Along with that roar, Ajax heard two more sounds which he guessed belongs to the rank 4 spirit beasts.
Soon, he saw three spirit beasts in the distance. Their sizes ranged from small, medium and large.
"Phew"
When he saw those three spirit beasts, Ajax heaved a sigh of relief and felt happy to see them.
...….
In the guild master's room,
The guild master, five powerful cultivators, Edmond and others all continued to talk about some things regarding the top powers of the Zrochester province.
"So, even after seeing the attrocities of those top powers, you still don't want to retaliate against them?"
Ramon, the eternal nurturer slowly asked the guild master.
"As I said earlier, I don't want unnecessary deaths that would be caused by our retaliation. Moreover, it is impossible for us to overthrow the current royal family because of the powers backing the royal family," the Guild master shook his head and continued, "Let's talk about this after we have 100 percent confidence in overthrowing the royal family in a single sweep. Let's talk about your disciples-taking ceremony."
"Okay,"
Ramon nodded his head as he had known the guild master for a long time and stopped bothering him with the same question.
"Ask all the young cultivators whom you think have good talent and after our regular tests and depending on their affinity with us, we will select them; however, don't say we didn't give face when we don't like the young cultivator's talent which you think is high,"
Sandra, the veiled matriarch said the conditions in accepting the disciples.
'I hope all my godsons and goddaughters will be accepted by these powerful cultivators,' Edmond silently hoped in his heart after listening to Sandra's words.
