nAfter 5 days

n

"phew, finally completed absorbing 48 spirit stones which make 1000 units when added to previous units, It's time to upgrade the main cultivation technique to level 2

", Ajax took a long sigh and said.

nHe tried to absorb another spirit stone but he felt like his spirit consciousness would explode if he continued to absorb.

nDuring the last five days, he continuously absorbed all the fire element spirit stones, except for leaving some time for eating and cleaning though.

nHe also ordered his contracted elemental spirits to not absorb any essence of nature in his spirit consciousness and promised to help them level up in the future.

nHe also cleared his doubt of directly leveling up the elemental spirits is possible with a system that is similar to his body cultivation but the units of the essence of nature are different.

n

"System, show me how much essence of nature is stored in my spirit consciousness

", Ajax silently asked in his head.

n'Ding,

nThe essence of nature :- 1000 units

n

" If I want to store more than 1000 units, I think I should use medium grade spirit jade but I will save it for later, I don't have that many spirit stones anyway

",

nAjax thought that he doesn't have to use it because his essence of nature will be consumed anyway while upgrading heaven and earth refining technique and with the remaining 50 plus spirit stones, his spirit consciousness will not become full anyway.

nSoon Ajax viewed that main cultivation technique:- Heaven and earth refining technique

n

"Ding,

nHeaven and earth elemental refining technique (level 1)

nNeed any 999 units of the essence of nature to upgrade it to level 2

n'Ding,

nDo you want to upgrade it to level 2??

n

" Yes

", Ajax accepted it.

n'Ding,

nConsuming 999 units of the essence of nature to upgrade the main cultivation technique.

n'Ding,

nHeaven and earth refining technique successfully upgraded to level 2

nSoon the notifications came saying that the cultivation technique upgrades.

nSuppressing his joy, he took out a spirit stone and tested his cultivation speed with level 2 Heaven and earth refining technique.

nIn just an hour, he completely absorbed it.

n

"Hahahha, my cultivation speed is now doubled

", Ajax overjoyed with his speed.

nHe wanted to check whether there was level 3 for that cultivation technique.

n

"Ding,

nHeaven and earth elemental refining technique (level 2)

nNeed any 9999 units of the essence of nature to upgrade it to level 3.

n

"....

", seeing the needed units of the essence of nature, Ajax was speechless and didn't even think about upgrading it any further now.

n

" I will absorb all the remaining spirit stones and my old 2 spirit stones from the trial in the next 5 days and level up my body cultivation

", with that thought he soon resumed his cultivation.

nHe continued his routine for another 5 days.

nOn the 10th day, the squad members went on an escort mission.

nAjax sat cross-legged with a spirit stone in his hands, which soon turned in dust and he opened his eyes.

n

"Finally all spirit stones are finished, now it's time to level up my body cultivation

", Ajax completed some 60 spirit stones in the last 5 days and filled his essence of nature in the spirit consciousness.

n

" Essence of nature

", Ajax just said a word and soon a holographic screen appeared in front of him

n'Ding,

nThe essence of nature :- 631 units

nFeeling satisfied he soon turned to the body cultivation screen which appeared with a thought.

n'Ding,

nBody cultivation :- Soldier (level:-1)

n'Ding,

nneed 100 units of the essence of nature to reach level 2 body cultivation

nDo you want to level up??

n

"Yes

", Ajax said without thinking.

n'Ding,

n100 units of the essence of nature, consumed

n'Ding,

nBody cultivation :- Soldier (level:-2)

nneed 200 units of the essence of nature to reach level 3 body cultivation.

n

" Tsk, as expected, it has doubled the requirement

", but Ajax continued to level it up.

n'Ding,

nBody cultivation :- Soldier (level:-3)

nneed 300 units of the essence of nature to reach level 4 body cultivation.

nGritting his teeth, Ajax continued

n'Ding,

nBody cultivation :- Soldier (level:-4)

nneed 400 units of the essence of nature to reach level 5 body cultivation.

nSeeing all his essence of nature is consumed leaving him with only 31 units, he bitterly shook his head.

nBut with level 4 soldier realm cultivation, he felt, his body become much stronger and tougher than before.

nSoon, he heard some noise outside.

n

"They have returned

", Ajax was excited thinking that squad members had arrived.

n

" Hey, Ajax you look much stronger than before

", When Edmond saw Ajax, he asked him.

n

" Yes, I cultivated for the past 10 days continuously and reached level 4 of the soldier realm.

n

"Not bad, not bad

", it's not impossible to not reach level 4 with the aid of spirit stones, so he was not shocked.

nNext, he asked

" Which element spirit stones are more compatible with you??

",

n

" All three

", Ajax's reply shocked all the squad members.
