Chapter 426 - Preparations

"After you forcefully cultivated water energy and endured the pain of doing so for so many years, I believe your body has adapted to it slightly and become accustomed to it. This will increase the success of fusing Cold and Water Energy, and your Extreme Cold Constitution that you were born with, seems to have become an Extreme Ice Constitution" he revealed.

"However, transforming all your Water Energy into Ice Energy, will require an extremely large amount of Cold Energy and will also be a very painful and dangerous process. It will also require you to be prepared to cultivate using methods that you need to form as an Extreme Ice Constitution is extremely unique and seems to be the first on this continent, from what I can tell"

"It will set you apart from the others, remove all pain you have been experiencing and also increase your potential, power and allow you to cultivate to a new level. However, there is a great risk, great pain you must endure and it will also need you to rely on your own intelligence and potential" 

"No pain no gain I guess," she said, showing no signs of backing down.

"Well then, I guess we should begin, but before then, I would like you to restore your Internal Energy storages. This will increase the pain of the process, but also increase the results and it might even help you increase your cultivation and temper your body" instructed Adam.

She did exactly as she said and calmed her nerves and body in preparation for the process.

In the meantime, Adam headed to the secret treasury of the secret base, which only he had access to, along with where they grew all their medicinal herbs and plants by feeding them energy from the energy chamber.

He collected all the medicinal herbs and plants that contained cold energy within them and they were all held in a separate part of their Energy Garden as they needed to be kept in extreme negative temperatures.

They were able to maintain those temperatures using arrays and there were many different parts to the Energy Garden that were separated and used different arrays, as many different herbs and plants require different environments to be able to grow and become usable.

Adam allowed Elizabeth to access them as she pleased and as she was the only one that could use them, it basically became her second home, which was why she was alerted by all the Cold Energy herbs and plants being taken by someone.

"Adam, what do you need so much Cold Energy for and are you sure you can handle all of that?" she asked.

"Also, they will lose their value quickly after being picked unless they are stored in a jade box that can stop the energy from being released by them," she said as she offered to get him one.

"Don't worry about it and you can always grow more. I just need them to help out Angela and as I said, there is no need to be stingy with resources as long as it grows and benefits our faction. We will have a lot of chances to get more" 

As he said that, all the herbs and plants that he had picked and placed in a pile disappeared into thin air and Adam had placed them in his inventory.

The inventory was a unique space where time stopped and if he was to leave food in there, it would stay fresh for as long as he left it in there.

That made it so that the herbs and plants wouldn't lose value as long as they were stored within the inventory and Adam was planning to use them all on Angela anyway.

[The previous mastery feature disappeared after the change in the system, but that didn't mean I couldn't gain mastery of something through the system. My progress in mastery and the mastery that the system gives me as rewards have increased greatly and one of the masteries I gained that I am yet to use is alchemy. Time to put some of those skills to use] thought Adam to himself.

"Elizabeth, I am busy and need to get back to Angela. Continue your training and I can see that you are making rapid progress" he said before disappearing.

He had entered his Soul Form and used it to enter the secret treasury that only allowed him to enter as his body had the master key within it.

After all the arrays with all sorts of functions that had been placed all around and within the secret base, along with a battery that would continuously recharge itself, it had reached the point that the secret base was almost alive.

His master had managed to create such an incredible place and Adam was planning on making it the centre of an incredible faction that would change the world and even the universe.

Within the secret treasury, there was a large cauldron and although his master wasn't well versed in alchemy, it was evident that it was an incredible and valuable cauldron that even the ancients would want.

He had found it on one of his adventures when searching for a cure to save his lover and he had made sure to protect it with a few other valuables that were all incredibly rare and valuable treasures.

Elizabeth didn't need such a cauldron as her constitution made it so that her body acted as one and allowed her to perform alchemy without the need for fire or any external assistance.

However, Adam would require a cauldron for the alchemy he was about to perform, but the fire he could produce should be enough to bind all the herbs and plants that he had gathered.

"Master, I am finally putting this cauldron to use," said Adam to himself.

Although he knew that his master was in the Soul Cycle and the existence of heaven and hell weren't as people believed, it still made him feel better to imagine his master was watching over him.
