Chapter 138: Body Ascension Pill (2/2)

Cultivators in the Energy Gathering Realm could still train their bodies, but the growth of the body's power was dozens of times slower than the growth of the Energy's power. That was why no one cared about training the body anymore. Resources for body strengthening were way rarer and more expensive than pure Energy Stones.

For example, if someone wanted to get their physical power to the same level as the Energy on the third level of Energy Gathering, they would probably have to spend around 150 Energy Stones. That might sound not as over the top as one thought, but one shouldn't forget about how few Energy Stones one needed to get to the third level of Energy Gathering. Going from the first level to the third level only needed 8+16 Energy Stones. That was about a sixth of the cost.

Gravis compiled a list of pills over the next couple of minutes until he noticed something.

Body Ascension Pill – 20,000 Mission Points

Gravis had subconsciously ignored the pill since the price was so high, but now, he was very close to being able to afford it. He read through the description, and his eyes sparkled with motivation. This was perfect for him!

The pill sharply increased the ability of the body to strengthen while healing. One first needed to tear down their old body to create a newer, stronger one. The description was simple, but the simple description showed the pill's power when it was paired with the price.

Gravis turned his head to Aion, who was still relaxing in his chair. ”Hey, Aion,” he said.

”What is it?” asked Aion, not turning towards him.

”Shouldn't I get a reward for pointing out the flaw in your mission system?” Gravis asked.

Aion craned his body so he could look at Gravis with furrowed brows. Then, he used his Spirit to take a look at the exchange list and noticed that the booklet had been opened to the page of the Body Ascension Pill. He then looked back up to Gravis and smiled.

”Fine.”

WHOOSH PACK!

Aion threw a bottle at Gravis, who quickly caught it. He looked at it and could see a pill shining through the bottle, which was about as big as a plum. ”But consider all your Mission Points used up,” said Aion as he turned back to relax on his chair.

Gravis smiled in excitement. ”Thank you, branch manager!” he said. With this, his body would be able to become much stronger, though he needed a way to break his body. If he really concentrated, he might be able to break his own body with his lightning, but not for very long. The pill would hold for an entire week, and Gravis' lightning would probably become useless at around the second day already. He needed a way to consistently damage his body.

Gravis' eyes turned to the relaxing Aion and shone.

Aion's body slightly shivered. Over a long period of time, Aion had managed to train this reaction towards something specific. He knew precisely what the shivering meant! Aion turned to Gravis and watched him with an apprehensive look.

His body always shivered before he had to work.
