Not only the young cultivators, but even the vagrant cultivators were also shocked after listening to Ajax's sudden words.
According to them, the essence pool in the 'Eternal garden' secret realm is the best cultivational resource to increase the cultivation in the shortest time possible.
Elder Ramon allowed the essence pool to accumulate the essence of nature in it for nearly 20 years and at the same time, he even added many rich essence filled resources into the pool for today where his personal disciples could use them.
Moreover, among all the young cultivators, they felt that Ajax was the one who needed this specific step of the special training program because his cultivation is the lowest.
Even Neil reached the peak elite commander realm and only an inch away from entering the general realm whereas Ajax was still in the level 9 elite commander realm.
"Why?"
The guild master suppressed all the questions in his head and asked Ajax for the reason.
If Ajax didn't want to enter the essence pool, they could not forcefully make him enter it and cultivate in it.
"My master said that if I enter the essence pool, others will not be able to benefit much. He was already pleased with your training for him and asked me to give you this mid-level spirit stone and this water,"
While speaking, he took out a green coloured spirit stone from his inventory and a small gourd filled with water from his mini-thunder pool before giving them to the guild master.
He didn't give time for others to react before saying, "He suggested that adding this mid-level spirit stone to the essence pool along with this water from the thunder realm will increase the purity of the essence of nature."
'What?'
Once again, everyone was shocked as they looked at the items in the guild master's hands.
Even though it was not their first time seeing a mid-level spirit stone, the vagrant cultivators were shocked because currently, they don't have a single mid-level spirit stone as they already used them for their cultivation.
'Even though the mid-level spirit stone is not comparable to what Ajax had benefited from the special training so far, it is a rare item and as long as a peak general realm cultivator used a mid-level spirit stone, they would instant breakthrough to the elite general realm,'
No matter what, Ajax felt that he benefited too much that he didn't have any good items to give them.
Actually, he thought of giving the ability strengthening pills, but he felt there were not enough of them. From the three ability fruits, he refined one fruit and with the remaining two fruits, he could only gain two more pills which will not be sufficient for the vagrant cultivators not to mention the young cultivators.
"Ahem"
The guild master recovered his composure and cleared his throat before saying, "Ajax, please thank your master on our behalf."
The guild master is not a modest cultivator and without any hesitation, he took items and asked Ajax to convey their thanks to his master.
If not for their personal disciples, the guild master would not have taken those items because they won't have any effect on him or his fellow vagrant cultivators.
"He is always keeping an eye on us,"
Ajax revealed a slight smile as he replied back to the guild master.
Hearing his words, the guild master and others shuddered because they were unable to sense any presence of the powerful 'Dream' master.
"So, what are you going to do for the next 24 hours?"
Since Ajax wants to skip one of the essence pool training, the guild master asked him what he will do.
"My master gave me a simple task of entering the inner section of the cursed wilderness and train for some time to understand the abilities I gained from the special training,"
Ajax had already planned what to say and said everything to the guild master without making any mistake.
As long as there was a word 'Master' in Ajax's sentences, the vagrant cultivators never ask more questions fearing that would irritate that 'Dream' master in Ajax's head.
"Okay,"
The guild master nodded his head and asked, "Should I drop you at the…..,"
"No need, guild master. I can go from here on,"
Before the guild master could finish his words, Ajax interrupted him.
"Okay. I will control the griffin to land on the ground, then…,"
"No need, guild master. I will be going now,"
Once again, he didn't wait for the guild master to finish his words and waved at everyone before jumping down from the livid griffin.
'...'
Vagrant cultivators were speechless.
'...'
All the young cultivators were speechless.
Soon, the vagrant cultivators shook their heads whereas the young cultivators' motivation to become stronger had increased a lot.
Since the guild master wanted to finish the special training as soon as possible, he continued to guide the livid griffin towards Elder Ramon's secret realm.
...
'Woah'
As for Ajax, he was freely falling while letting out excited shouts.
'Swoosh'
All of a sudden, Ajax disappeared from his spot and appeared 10 meters away from his original position.
That's right!
It was the first effect of the lightning cloud steps which was to teleport anywhere within the 10 meters radius.
Even though it was mentioned 'Teleport' in the effect, actually, it was speed movement and not actual teleportation.
Also, there were two reasons why he didn't want to enter the essence pool and decided to leave the group.
One, he knew that there was no use for him to fill his essence of nature because he could not increase his cultivation. Moreover, his absorption speed is so high that others would not benefit from the essence pool.
Two, he wanted to test his new skills and upgraded cultivation technique.
"Now, I will test them by killing the spirit beasts in the inner section of the wilderness,"
Ajax revealed an excited smile as he used the first effect of the cultivation technique from time to time.
'Huh? This thing is consuming too much of essence of nature,'
Finally, Ajax noticed that the consumption rate for using the effect was so huge which made him stop using it.
'Swoosh'
With that thought in his head, he waited till he reached the ground and teleported himself in the forward direction before jumping onto the ground.
'Phew….even though it cost me too much of essence of nature, it was fun,'
Ajax liked the feeling of freely teleporting in the air despite the fact it was costly.
As for the consumption, each time he used the teleportation effect, 2000 units of the essence of nature would be consumed.
So, in total, he could now teleport himself five times if his spirit consciousness was full.
"After filling my spirit consciousness, I will go and meet with Gaimont,"
Since he was in the inner section of the cursed wilderness, he would definitely want to meet his strongest contracted spirit beast, the golden wyvern king, Gaimont.
He is one of the kings in the inner section with a territory. So, Ajax had something to do there.
However, before that, he wanted to fill his spirit consciousness by killing the spirit beasts.
