Since he wanted to help the mutated spirit crane in increasing its bloodline percentage, he didn't enter the Sacred Pool directly; instead, he looked at the huge spirit crane in front of him.
'Human, why are you looking at me like that? Go and cultivate in the Sacred Pool.'
Just as Ajax was about to take out a primitive stone from his inventory, he heard a soft and calm voice in his head.
"Huh? Is that you who transmitted the voice into my mind?"
Ajax asked with a slight smile on his face.
'What are you smiling at? Don't come near me. My master is more powerful than you. So, you better stay away from me.'
When the huge spirit crane saw the smile on Ajax's face, she became anxious and warned Ajax to not come near her.
"What?"
Ajax was shocked when he heard the anxious voice in his head and could not help but shake his head.
Actually, the mutated spirit crane was less than one year old and only because of the Crowned Turquoise Queen's blood, she was able to reach low-level rank 6. Moreover, Princess Daphne was hoping the crane would reach peak rank 6 before going out of the secret realm.
So, even though she was powerful, the mutated spirit crane was fearful by nature and used Princess Daphne's name to keep Ajax away from her.
Moreover, little blue thought Princess Daphne is more powerful because her cultivation was higher than Ajax.
"Whatever. Use it to become stronger."
However, Ajax didn't want to waste his time on the scared sprint crane as he took out the mid-grade primitive stone from his inventory and threw it at the spirit crane.
'Huh?'
As for the mutated spirit crane, she was surprised by Ajax's actions and moreover, she was very fearful of the item thrown by Ajax. So, she didn't touch it until Ajax entered the Sacred Pool.
'Why do I feel the urge to eat it?'
Even though she didn't know what that stone was, the spirit crane's basic instincts were telling her to eat it.
After looking at the stone lying on the ground for a few moments, her basic instincts won against her fearful instincts.
'Let's just eat it.'
Without thinking about anything, the mutated spirit crane swallowed the stone and slept on the edge of the Sacred Pool.
Since the Sacred Pool only has a 10-meter radius, she didn't enter it fearing it would become an inconvenience for her master and others.
Nevertheless, she was more than happy with the current cultivation speed. Moreover, her body was completely filled with some mysterious energy released from the mid-grade spirit stone.
'Swoosh'
Soon, the mutated spirit crane's body started shining with a dim glow and since the glow was similar to the shining mist covering the Sacred Pool, it was not visible to others.
'I hope its bloodline concentration increases to at least 70-80 percent from the mid-grade primitive stone.'
As for Ajax, while entering the Sacred Pool, he was hoping something good would happen to the mutated spirit crane.
When he entered the dimensional crevice, he bought so many mid-grade primitive stones from the stores in the crevice. Moreover, all his contracted spirit beasts already have their own bloodlines and except for the high-grade primitive stone, the regular primitive stones were useless for him.
So, he didn't feel much in giving one to the mutated spirit crane.
'Ding,
The system detected that the host entered the Sacred Pool for the first time.
'Ding,
The effects of the Sacred Pool on his elemental spirits and the contracted spirit beast will be doubled until he leaves the Sacred Pool.
'Ding,
The current cultivation speed of the Sacred Pool on regular cultivators is 15 times and since the host's summons are inside the inner world, the additional effect will be negated and they receive the same 15 times of cultivation speed.
Just as he entered the Sacred Pool, Ajax received a series of system notifications that made him quite a surprise.
'Excellent.'
After reading those system notifications, Ajax revealed a slight smile on his face and thought, 'Finally, I don't need to summon them out ofo my inner world but they can still receive the same cultivation boost. Excellent.'
Ajax was excited about his current situation.
'Wait for a second...I can do that, right?'
All of a sudden, Ajax remembered something that made him even more excited.
'Slait come out and enjoy the cultivation boost.'
As soon as he thought of something, he didn't waste his time thinking about anything and directly summoned an elemental spirit.
Since the entire Zrochester province knew that he was a summoner, he could freely summon some of his elemental spirits.
However, he could not summon all his elemental spirits because King Stephen had seen almost every elemental spirit of his when he was fighting the sect leaders and family heads as the masked young man.
As for Slait, he didn't summon it at that time before everyone knew that Ajax had an earth elemental spirit and if he had used Slait at that time, he would have raised the suspicion.
'Since I am Ajax now, I can only use Slait in the open as for the other elemental spirits, it will give away that I am the masked young man that played with the top figures of the Zrochester province.'
Ajax revealed a bitter smile for summoning all his elemental spirits while he was acting as the masked young man.
'Nevertheless, at least Slait can get the full benefits from the Sacred Pool.'
With that thought in his mind, Ajax sat cross-legged in the Sacred Pool and entered into his inner world.
'Thank you, brother Ajax. I will not disappoint you.'
As for the earth elemental spirit, Slait, he clenched his fists and decided to not disappoint Ajax before he started cultivating.
At one end, Levi and his 10 earth elemental spirits were doing the same without wasting any time.
