'Ding,
Are you sure about sacrificing your main cultivation technique 'Heaven and earth refining technique'?
After Ajax decided to sacrifice his main cultivation technique, he was asked for the final confirmation by the system.
'Of course. I am willing.'
Even though it was a good cultivation technique, to Ajax, it didn't make much difference for him because whenever his spirit consciousness and the special spirit gourd become empty, he would refill them with the help of his summons.
Compared to the amount of the essence of nature he received by his current main cultivation technique, the amount of the essence of nature he received from his summon's killings were far better.
'Ding,
The main cultivation technique 'Heaven and earth refining technique' has been sacrificed successfully.
'Ding,
From now on you will lose all the benefits of that cultivation technique and even if you forcefully circulate that technique in your body, you will not get any benefits.
'Ding,
The fifth requirement for the 'Blessed refining technique' has been fulfilled. You can continue to sacrifice more cultivation techniques to receive better results.
Soon, Ajax's head was filled with a series of system notifications.
'However, the same 'Note' of sacrificing more will give better results applicable for the cultivation techniques and the skills also.'
Ajax thought of the note below the requirements and felt he should do something regarding it.
However, he didn't want to sacrifice the only sword technique he had. Moreover, compared to the Heaven and earth refining technique which was basically useless for him, the sword technique increases his attack power.
'Should I cultivate some easy cultivation techniques using system' help?'
Since he could basically learn the cultivation techniques by paying a certain unit of the essence of nature, Ajax thought of this.
'Let's see whether it works or not.'
With a thought, Ajax summoned a beast skin book from his inventory.
'Ding,
Detected a cultivation technique 'Iron skin strengthening technique'. Do you want to cultivate it?
Soon, the system notification appeared in his head.
'I did a good thing by storing these manuals in the inventory; instead of throwing them aside.'
The book in his hands was one of the many cultivation manuals he had stored in his inventory after collecting the loot from his targets.
Even though there were not many who carried the manuals for their cultivation techniques, Ajax still collected a ton of manuals that were sitting in his inventory.
'Yes.'
Ajax nodded his head.
'Ding,
The host needs to pay 100 units of the essence of nature to learn the mortal grade cultivation technique.
'Only 100 units? Take it.'
After dealing with the essence of nature in millions of units, Ajax felt 100 units was nothing in his eyes.
'Ding,
100 units of the essence of nature are deducted and the host learned the mortal grade cultivation technique 'Iron skin strengthening technique.'
Ajax felt the foreign knowledge in his head as he closed his eyes and enjoyed the feeling.
Even though it was a lowly cultivation technique, Ajax was hopeful for sacrificing more cultivation techniques. So, he was in a good mood.
'Time to make use of all those manuals.'
He didn't sacrifice the cultivation technique directly; instead, he decided to cultivate all the cultivation techniques in his inventory.
'Ding,
Detected that the host has an abundant essence of nature in his spirit consciousness.
'Ding,
Do you want to upgrade the mortal grade cultivation technique to earth grade and after that earth grade to heaven grade?
'What? I can upgrade the grade of a cultivation technique?'
Just as he was about to take out more cultivation manuals from his inventory, Ajax received a couple of system notifications in his head.
'Ding,
Yes. The host can upgrade cultivation to heaven grade using the essence of nature.
Note:- It is a hidden feature that unlocks only when the host learns a mortal grade cultivation technique and it was available in the current version of the system which is 3.0.
'Hidden feature?'
Ajax raised his brows for a moment before becoming excited. When the system bound to him, Ajax received all the necessary details of how to use the system and in that information, he learned about hidden features.
However, it was not easy to unlock them as they have certain requirements to fulfil before they unlock on their own.
The thing is, Ajax had never learned a mortal grade cultivation technique, almost all his cultivation techniques are heaven grade except for the Mysterious spirit cultivation technique whose grade was unknown.
However, with the effects that it gives, Ajax knows it is at least a legend grade cultivation technique or even mythical grade cultivation.
'Anyway, there is no use thinking about the past now. Let's make sure to use the feature to the fullest.'
Without wasting any time, Ajax decided to upgrade the lowest grade cultivation technique he had ever learned.
'Ding,
Upgrading a mortal grade cultivation technique to earth grade required 100000 units of the essence of nature.
'Ding,
Do you want to upgrade it?
'Yes'
Even though it seemed a lot for others, it was nothing for Ajax, who casually nodded his head.
'Ding,
Iron skin strengthening technique upgraded to earth grade cultivation technique named 'Silver skin strengthening technique'.
'Nice'
Ajax nodded his head and he didn't even bother to check the effects of the cultivation technique fearing he might be unwilling to sacrifice it after checking it.
Instead, he ordered the system, 'I want to upgrade it to Heaven grade.'
'Ding,
It required one million units of the essence of nature. Are you sure about it?
'Yes.'
Ajax adjusted the settings to direct the essence of nature in upgrading the cultivation technique for a moment before putting it back to overfill the first requirement.
'Ding,
The system received one million units of the essence of nature regarding the upgradation of the cultivation technique.
'Ding,
Silver strengthening skin technique (Earth grade) upgraded to Gold strengthening skin technique (Heaven grade).
'As long as I have a cultivation technique, I easily upgrade them to heaven grade…time to repeat the process.'
Ajax was excited to see how easy it was for him to upgrade the cultivation techniques.
