Chapter 701: Nurturing the 'Tree of Blessing'
Currently, he had four elemental spirits in the general realm and they could concentrate and create spirit essence. So, Ajax was confident that if what Elder Ramon said was true, then you could have a tree of blessing in his inner world.
As long as he could nurture it, he could slowly find out what type of items the tree could give in the form of a blessing along with the benefits for his inner world.
'This should do it,'
After entering the inner world, Ajax didn't sow the seed with other plants in his herb garden; instead, he sowed it in the opposite direction from the garden.
However, there was not much distance between the seed and the mini thunder pool.
'Cerauno, come here,'
Since Cerauno was cultivating inside the mini thunder pool, Ajax called him to test the seed.
"Summoning master,"
Cerauno hurriedly went to Ajax and politely bowed to him.
"I have one request for you,"
Ajax nodded his head at Cerauno before asking him, "Do you have any spirit essence stored in your body?"
Creating the spirit essence is a long and tedious process; however, the benefits of spirit essence are worth it.
However, he didn't know whether Cerauno had spirit essence in his body or not.
"Yes, summoning master. Just recently I was able to refine one drop of spirit essence,"
When he replied, Cerauno revealed a slight smile as though he had achieved something.
"If you don't mind, can you give that drop of spirit essence?"
Ajax never liked forcing things on others. Even though Cerauno was his contracted elemental spirit, Ajax knew how much Cerauno had worked hard to refine that one drop of spirit essence.
Refining the spirit essence or blood essence doesn't improve cultivation. So, if someone is refining the concentrated essences in their bodies, then their cultivation would not improve.
Some might think why someone would waste time by refining the essence instead of cultivating it. Because the blood essence or spirit essence of the cultivator could bring them back from near-death while healing all injuries on their body.
"Sure, master. I was able to refine a drop of spirit essence because of master's elemental paradise,"
Cerauno didn't even think for a second before taking out a small white coloured drop out of nowhere.
"Thank you, Cerauno,"
The host's access to the tree of blessing is partially unlocked.
Instead of getting the information on the tree of blessing, Ajax got a couple of system notifications that made him reveal a slight smile.
'Good. Now, show me the details of the tree of blessing,'
Ajax nodded his head after hearing those two system notifications and asked the system to show the details.
'Ding,
Tree name:- Tree of Blessing.
Owner:- Ajax (Summoner)
Current state:- Still growing (One leaf).
Helper:- Cerauno (Lightning elemental spirit).
Description:-? Only helpers of the tree of blessing are eligible to receive the blessings from it.
"Huh?"
Ajax raised his brows as he got to know more about the tree of blessing.
'So, the tree considers the one who gives it the spirit essences as its helpers and would only bless them back...Good,'
Ajax finally understood what he had to do next with this tree of blessing.
'I will make all my elemental spirits to help the tree of blessing and they could receive blessings in return,'
Ajax became excited as he got another good thing. Moreover, it made him happier because he got the seed on his own and not from the system. So, of course, he was very happy.
It's just like a 'give and take' process. As long as the elemental spirit gives their spirit essence to the tree of blessing, it would provide benefits for them too.
'However, what I didn't understand is how did I end up as its owner,'
After that, Ajax raised his brows as he thought about the second section on the halographic section.
Unlike other plants and trees, the tree of blessing is completely different. Moreover, it was a tree from the greater world. So, its potential and rank is very high. So, Ajax was not shocked when he saw the owner section; however, after seeing his name, he shook him a little.
Generally, Ajax had to do something like dropping his blood or marking the seed with his spirit mark to become the owner; however, Ajax had not done any of those things.
So, when he saw his name in the owner section, he was shocked for a moment; however, he was excited about the next sections. So, he kept it aside for a while before thinking about it.
'Also, except for sowing, I didn't do anything about it. So, is that the reason why the 'Tree of blessing' acknowledged me as its master?'
Ajax thought for a moment before rejecting it and thought, 'How can its standards be this low for accepting a master?'
