Chapter 978 - Crazy Absorption Speed
"What is it, Powerful cultivator?"
Nameless cultivator felt something was not right; however when he thought about his life for the last couple of decades, he didn't hesitate to ask about it.
"After I help you become a regular human, you have to work for me for 100 years."
The old man didn't think much before saying his condition.
'What? 100 years?'
Nameless cultivator and Master Elek both were shocked when they heard those words.
"I will agree."
However, after thinking about how he spent his life in this cave for the past two decades, Nameless cultivator felt it was better to work for a powerful cultivator for 100 years; instead of rotting in the cave.
Actually, Nameless cultivator found a way to become normal after staying in this cave; however, according to his assumption, it would take at least 1000 years and he was not 100 percent sure whether it would work or not.
Moreover, after 1000 years, even if he becomes normal, he doesn't know whether he would live after that because a human could not live past 1000 years unless he breakthrough into the King realm.
"Good."
Hearing Nameless cultivator's words, the old man nodded his head with a satisfied look on his face as he continued, "Come here and close your eyes."
Since the old man could not move more than 10 meters from Ajax, he could only ask Nameless cultivator to go near him.
'Hm'
Nameless cultivator nodded his head as he closed his eyes after reaching the old man.
In the next moment, the old man lightly tapped Nameless cultivator's forehead as though he was transmitting something into Nameless cultivator's head.
"Th...this is..."
Nameless cultivator became shocked as he opened his eyes and looked at the old man in a new light.
"The spirit cultivation technique I sent you will help you with your problem and it will take around 10 years for you to return to your normal human form."
The old man nonchalantly informed Nameless cultivator and looked at Master Elek, "As for you, why don't you bring him along with us."
After giving the spirit cultivation technique to Nameless cultivator, the old man didn't bother to ask him about the earlier thing because he knew Nameless cultivator would take him to that place since he had already kept his end of the promise.
So, he asked Master Elek to carry Ajax along with them.
"Powerful cultivator, Ajax might die because of Cursed Energy. Isn't it better for him to stay here?"
Master Elek hesitated a little before saying those words.
Because the pill's effect had already come to an end and if they continued to bring him to that place, he would die with the pure Cursed Energy.
"You don't have to worry about it."
However, the old man shook his head as he informed Nameless cultivator and Master Elek, "He can absorb Cursed Energy without any side effects."
'What?'
The old man's words caused a great shock wave in both the cultivators as they looked at Ajax before thinking, 'As expected of someone having a great master.'
'Che'
The old man was able to sense what they were thinking in their heads and could not help but be irritated.
Actually, the reason why Ajax was able to use Cursed Energy was because of something else. Even though his 'Mysterious spirit energy' could help absorb Cursed Energy without any side effects, Ajax would not have any difficulty even without his technique.
Nevertheless, he didn't bother to say anything as he waited for Master Elek to pick Ajax up from the ground.
Soon, the old man in the spirit consciousness form, Nameless cultivator, Master Elek with Ajax in his arms started walking into a specific passage.
…
'Hm'
While they were walking in the passage, Ajax was able to regain his consciousness lightly; however, he was still wondering what was happening around him.
'Ding,
The system detected a huge amount of Pure Cursed Energy from a familiar entity.
'Ding,
Do you want the system to absorb everything from it and convert it into Astral Energy?
Once the system regained its consciousness along with Ajax, it sent two system notifications making Ajax a little surprised.
'Sure. Go ahead.'
Without thinking much, Ajax directly gave the permission to absorb and convert Cursed Energy.
'Swoosh'
As soon as he gave permission for the system to absorb Pure Cursed Energy, the dense Cursed Energy rushed into his body, making him feel chilly.
Since Cursed Energy had cold properties, Ajax started shivering lighting; however, when he saw the system notifications, he couldn't help but forget the cold.
'Ding,
+10 units of Cursed Energy entered into the host's body and converted into 0.1 percent of one unit of Astral Energy.
'Ding,
+20 units of Cursed Energy entered into the host's body and converted into 0.2 percent of one unit of Astral Energy.
'Ding,
+30 units of Cursed Energy….0.3 percent.
.
.
.
With each passing second, his absorption speed increased and compared to his earlier speed, this speed was even more terrifying making him Ajax excited.
Before he could even finish his thinking, he already got more than five units of Astral Energy from converting Cursed Energy.
'At this rate, it would take me only a couple of minutes before getting the required amount of Astral Energy.'
Ajax completely forgot that his body was freezing due to the crazy absorption speed; instead, he silently thought in his head.
"Powerful cultivator, something is happening to Ajax?"
All of a sudden, Master Elek stopped in his steps as he felt his hands become numb just from carrying Ajax and hurriedly informed the old man.
Even though Master Elek was a powerful cultivator with peak elite general realm cultivation, he was not able to control his body from the cold aura emitted by Ajax.
Soon, he kept Ajax on the ground as he circulated his cultivation technique to kick the Cold Cursed Energy out of his body.
'Th..this is..'
