Chapter 1545 Focusing on Alchemy again
Even if his cultivation remained the same after coming out of the Jade Pool, no one would bother Ajax regarding it.
However, it would make the other cultivators that were close to him like Nightmare Fiend, Jade Dragonling, and Auction managers from the low-level and mid-level trader's realm curious.
Because they knew that Ajax had entered the Jade Pool and spent 24 hours in it.
'Whether it was good or bad, it is better not to garner any attention.'
This was what he had learned from Elder Boron and kept practising it.
That's how Ajax was able to avoid so many troubles in his cultivation journey.
'Ding,
Congratulations to the host for successfully becoming a High-level King realm cultivator.
With the system notification in his head, Ajax felt like he became a lot stronger than before.
'I am becoming more and more stronger these days with the least bit of effort.'
Ajax clenched his fists and was eager to use his strength somewhere; however, he knew currently there were no wars and any powerful foes that he had to fight.
Of course, he had a few enemies like the Golden Demon Emperor, Astral Demon Emperor and the remaining three Demon Emperors; however, each one of them was completely out of Ajax's league.
'With my current strength, I might injure them if I go all out; however, those b*stards have lived for centuries and might have quite a few tricks under their sleeves.'
Nevertheless, just because he could deal some injuries to them, that doesn't mean he could go and fight them as the other parties have armies that are way more powerful than his armies.
Currently, Ajax only has less than 10 emperor realm cultivators that could come to his rescue whereas each one of the demon emperors has thousands of emperor realm cultivators and hundreds of thousands of high-level demon kings.
'Anyway, it won't be long before I become an emperor realm cultivator and take care of those b*stards.'
With a cold smile on his face, Ajax checked the remaining world cores in his inventory.
'Ding,
Smaller World Core: 11
Normal World Core: 1
Greater World Core: 0
After using a Greater World Core to increase his cultivation, his world cores decreased by a huge amount.
However, he still has 11 smaller world cores and he was planning to complete the deals with the cultivators with whom he had signed the contract.
'That one normal world core is to toy with the Golden Demon Emperor and the remaining smaller world cores are to trade with others or auction them off.'
Ajax had a clear plan for his future once he decided where he had to spend his world cores.
'Anyway, let's see what are the upgrade requirements to become an Emperor realm cultivator.'
From the beginning of his cultivation journey, the system showed the requirements to break into the next realm and since he was focusing on increasing his strength as fast as possible, Ajax wanted to check the upgrade requirements.
So that he could start preparing for them and complete them while his devouring eagles and the exploration teams retrieve more and more smaller world cores.
'Ding,
Upgrade requirements to breakthrough to the Emperor realm:
1) At least three peak king realm cultivator's souls.
2) At least one side profession to be at peak king grade.
3) A world core, the higher the grade of the world core, the better it is for the host.
Soon, a list of upgrade requirements appeared in front of Ajax, making him frown a little.
'The first and third requirements were alright, but, what about this second requirement? Where did this come from out of nowhere?'
Ajax didn't understand why a side profession would appear in the requirements of upgrading his cultivation.
'Even though I know the side professions are important in order for the cultivator to not go crazy; however, isn't a king grade profession a little hard to achieve?'
Ajax felt a little troubled at the second upgrade requirements achieve a king grade in a profession.
'Currently, I am a rank 6 Alchemist and only one step away from because it would definitely take quite some time and effort to achieve a king grade in a profession.
'Currently, I am a rank 6 Alchemist and only one step away from becoming a King grade Alchemist; however, I know how hard it is to achieve.'
Ajax shook his head and thought, 'Anyway, I don't have a choice but and focus on becoming a king-grade alchemist.'
Among all the side professions, Alchemy is the only profession that Ajax was confident in reaching the King grade in the shortest time possible.
'Wait a second….Alchemy needs time and where can I find the time?'
Suddenly, Ajax thought of something and continued thinking, 'Time runs slower on the floating island and one day is equivalent to one year in it. So, isn't it the best place to practice the pill refining?'
When he thought of practising the pill refining on the floating island, Ajax felt excited and could not help but want to rush into the floating island.
'Before entering the Floating Island, I should make the preparations for my pill refining practice.'
However, he didn't forget to buy the alchemy ingredients.
Therefore, after entering the Trader's realm, he didn't meet the human metal elemental emperor; instead, he went to the individual stores in the mid-level trader's realm to buy the required things.
"What are you looking for?"
The store owner asked Ajax about what he was looking for.
"I want the easiest rank 7 pill recipe. Do you have them?"
Ajax asked the store owner and continued, "Easiest means there should be fewer ingredients and they should not be rare and I can find them easily."
"..."
The store owner looked at Ajax and remained speechless.
'Why don't you just say that you want a recipe where you can turn the air into a king-grade pill?'
This was the inner thought of the store owner; however, since Ajax was a customer, he remained respectful on the surface.
Since almost all the cultivators in the mid-level trader's realm are either emperor realm cultivators or sons or daughters of the powerful families in the greater worlds.
Therefore, Ajax felt he could easily find the king-grade pill recipes without any problem.
However, what he didn't know was he was asking a little too much from the store owner.
If there were something really as rare as such a pill recipe, why would the store owner bother to sell it through his store? He would directly place it in the auction house where he would get multiple-fold profits.
"Sir, I have these three king-grade recipes that require only three ingredients; however, the ingredients of these recipes are not hard to find nor not easy to find. It depends on the world you live in."
After thinking for a moment, the store owner took out three beast skins from an old box.
"I have been storing them for a fated alchemist and I think it is finally time for me to part with them."
The store owner had a sad look on his face as he placed three pill recipes in front of Ajax.
'Fated one, my a*s.'
However, Ajax was mature enough to know when others were genuine and when they were putting on an act and he could clearly tell the store owner was putting on an act.
Moreover, the old box that the store owner took the pill recipes from, didn't give the mysterious vibe; instead, it gave him the vibes that no one was interested in.
'I wonder if there is anyone who is willing to take that box even if they paid the money.'
Ajax shook his head and decided to check the pill recipes before coming to a conclusion.
[Essence Recovery Pill Reciple]
[Strength Multiplier Pill Recipe]
[Bloodline Awakening Pill Recipe]
Soon, Ajax saw the names of the three pill recipes and among which, he had already refined two of them; however, they were just rank 3 and 4 pills.
As for the current pill recipes, they were the upgraded version of those pill recipes and soon, Ajax felt they were what he needed.
'Since I have upgraded the rank 3 and 4 pills of the first two recipes, I can easily refine the King grade pills for the first two pill recipes.'
Ajax didn't think much and asked, "How much?"
'Also, there is a new pill recipe that is related to the Bloodline awakening. I wonder why no one is interested in such an interesting pill.'
Ajax knew that even though the first two recipes have good names, they were the useless king realm pill recipes; however, things were different with the bloodline awakening pill recipe.
Ajax didn't care much about the reason why the store owner was unable to use the Bloodline awakening pill recipe as he just wanted to take and enter the floating island as soon as possible.
"Since the customer is a fated one, I will take whatever you give me; however, I hope you won't give me a low amount either."
Basically, the first two pill recipes could be available even in the low-level trader's realm and their worth was less than a single trader's token.
However, the store owner added another pill recipe to bait the customers to buy the three of them together for a high price.
"101 trader's tokens."
Ajax raised his brows for a moment and took out 101 trader's tokens and placed them on the counter and quietly turned to leave.
'What a cheapskate! Only 101 trader's tokens?'
The store owner counted them and scoffed at Ajax's silhouette before putting another copy of the pill recipes in the old box and going back to his business.
