Chapter 970: Converting Cursed Energy, Energy resistant pills
‘Huh? Into the cursed Abyss?’
Ajax raised his brows when he noticed where they were going into the Cursed Abyss because it is a dangerous place.
If someone entered the depths of the cursed abyss, their bodies would be eroded with the cursed energy.
Even elite general realm cultivators might be affected if they stay in the cursed abyss for a long time. So, Ajax raised his brows as looked at Master Elek.
“Swallow them. The energy from the pills will stop the cursed energy from entering into your body.”
As soon as they entered the cursed abyss, Master Elek threw two pills towards them and mysteriously stopped right in front of them as though someone was holding those pills for them.
‘Wait a second.’
Ajax didn’t pick the pill immediately; instead, he thought about something, ‘Is there any relationship between Astral Energy and Cursed Energy?’
Actually, there was more than one reason why Ajax thought like that.
One, Master Elek is a cultivator who needs Astral Energy for his soul techniques and his ‘Soul stingray’.
As for the second reason, both the energies are cold; however, one helps the cultivator improve his soul whereas the other one corrodes the soul and body.
‘Ding,
It is detected that the host entered into an area rich in Cursed Energy and the system also detected that the host’s Sacred Astral Space is in need of Astral Energy.
‘Ding,
Do you want the system to convert Cursed Energy into Sacred Energy?
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, Ajax got a couple of system notifications that made him a little bit excited.
‘My guess is right! Looks like Cursed Energy and Astral Energy have the same origin.’
With that thought in his mind, Ajax gave permission to convert Cursed Energy into Astral Energy.
‘Ding,
Permission from the host is granted. From now on, along with the essence of nature, Cursed Energy will be absorbed in the host’s body at the same speed as that of the essence of nature.
‘Ding,
The conversion rate of Cursed Energy to Astral Energy is 100 to 1.
As soon as he gave permission to the system, Ajax felt that Cursed Energy was entering into his body at a rapid speed; however, he was not having any irritation which was the usual symptom of absorbing Cursed Energy into the body.
‘But the conversion rate from Cursed Energy to Astral Energy is so high.’
According to the system for every 100 units of Cursed Energy, he would get one unit and Ajax didn’t know how long it would take for him to gather.
‘Also, system, where are you planning to store the Cursed Energy?’
Even though he was not feeling any discomfort, Ajax was worried about where the system was storing Cursed Energy.
‘Ding,
Don’t worry, host. In the Sacred Astral Space, there will be two mini spaces to store the Astral Energy and Sacred Energy.
‘Ding,
Currently, the system is using Astral Energy’s mini space and the moment a unit of Cursed Energy is accumulated, it will be converted.
Note- One unit of Cursed Energy = 0.01 unit of Astral Energy.
‘Phew. So, I was worried for nothing.’
Ajax heaved a sigh of relief after seeing the two system notifications in front of him and ordered the system, ‘Also, inform me when a single unit of Cursed Energy is accumulated in Sacred Astral Space.’
‘Ding,
Sure, host.
‘Huh? Did something happen to the system? Why is it so nice to me?’
Ajax had a bad feeling when he saw how polite the system was and thought to himself.
Even earlier, when he asked the system to take the essence of nature for some information, it didn’t take anything and now, it replied like a loyal servant.
“Ajax, swallow that pill; otherwise, your body and soul will be corroded by Cursed Energy.”
Soon, Ajax heard Master Elek words that made him come out of his thoughts and replied, “Yes, Master Elek.”
After nodding his head, Ajax touched the pill and silently said, ‘Appraisal’
‘Ding,
Pill name:- Energy resistant pill.
Grade:- quasi-rank 5
Effect:- After consuming this pill, except for the essence of nature, no energy will enter into the consumer’s body.
Note:- Effect lasts for one hour.
More information:- A pill that was refined by Master Ramon with the assistance of Matriarch Sandra and Master Elek.
As a rank 6 alchemy master, Ajax should be able to tell any type of pill that exists in the Zrochester province; however, Ajax was able to tell anything from the pill.
So, he took the system’s help in finding out about the pill.
‘So, it was a custom-made pill. No wonder, it was not mentioned in the Summoner’s codex or any other books.’
Finally, Ajax understood something and made swallowing action; however, he silently stored it in his inventory.
There are many worlds and in each world, there are many varieties of herbs and plants. So, the alchemists from this world create their own recipes for the problems in their life.
For example, entering into this cursed abyss was a mandatory thing for Master Elek. So, he took the help of Master Ramon and others to create a pill that would fight Cursed Energy.
Also, there was another reason why this pill’s recipe was not recorded in the Summoner’s codex. Because the way the alchemists from Greater worlds look is different compared to the alchemists of normal or smaller worlds.
The Greater world’s alchemist would create a pill receiver that would allow the cultivators to absorb Cursed Energy into the body before transforming it into Astral Energy since it has the same origin as Cursed Energy.
“The effect of the pill you swallow just now will last for exactly an hour. Within that time, we will reach a place that is called Cursed Heaven.”
Seeing that Ajax swallowed the Energy resistant pill, Master Elek turned towards them and informed them about the place they were going to.
‘Cursed Heaven?’
