Chapter 11: Elemental Essence ?

Athan didn\'t know when he fell asleep, But after waking up he instantly entered his Psychic Realm.

After entering, He looked at the black whirlpool which now didn\'t have anything in it, \' Looks like Those Auras were completely digested by the black whirlpool while I was sleeping. But why didn\'t anything happen? It should give me some benefits after absorbing those auras...or does it needs more? \'

Athan then took out all the Water Crystals, two mid-grade, and 8 low-grade water crystals, After put all of them beside him on his bed, he once again laid on the bed and entered Psychic Realm.

Indeed, After entering he saw that Blue Aura entering his Psychic Realm and getting absorbed by the whirlpool, to increase the speed he once again injected his Psychic Energy into the Black whirlpool, which sucked all of his energy resulting in him experiencing another intense headache.

Afterward, he fell asleep once again due to exhaustion of his mind.

...

...

After an unknown amount of time, he once again woke up...First, he checked those Water Crystals after opening his eyes, They were still the same, it just felt like their luster decreased a bit.

\' Now I can confirm that black whirlpool is not absorbing elemental energy but something else, but what is it? \'

Just then a knocking sound could be heard, Athan then put the water crystals under his pillow and went to open the door.

" Yo kiddo, How are you? it\'s been a year right? hahaha..." The person was none other than Lafurge.

Athan smiled and invited him before saying, " Yeah, it\'s been a year, what brings you here though? "

Both of them sat down on the chair before Lafurge grinned and said, " You brat, I was really surprised when I got a report saying that you opened your psychic realm, now if you can also awaken an affinity then you would be counted as a genius to be groomed by Thunder-Fire Valley, hahaha. "

Athan just smiled but didn\'t say anything, while Lafurge asked, " So How did that happen? you can ask me some questions related to Psychic Ream, and don\'t forget to cleanse the impurity every day. "

Athan shook his head while saying, " I also don\'t know how I opened my Psychic realm, I was just working usually in the mine and suddenly fainted, When I woke up, I found out that I could enter a grey space with my consciousness, then Mrs. Renila did some checks and confirmed that I can use Psychic Energy normally. "

Lafurge nodded thoughtfully before changing the subject, " About Mike, The Valley Master is currently taking him to different places to train, because we don\'t have resources of Space Element, But there are some danger zones which has an abundance of space elemental energies, so Valley Master took Mike in those zones to cultivate. "

" Well, I just hope mike is safe in those zones. "

Lafurge Shook his head before saying, " Don\'t worry, nothing will happen to him with Valley Master, That old man is one of the most powerful Elemental Sorcerer alive. "

Suddenly Athan remembered about Water Crystals, \' maybe I should ask Laforge about what is missing from these crystals with some excuse. \'

Thinking about it, he got up before saying to Lafurge, " Wait for a second, I got some Water Crystals as compensation when I was in my town, Those people looked quite rich and they gave me those just because I was hit by their carriage hahaha. " Then he went to his room and put the crystals into the pouch before returning.

He just handed over the pouch to Lafurge before sitting on the chair, " These are those crystals...I want to know how valuable they are and what I can get in exchange for them because I can\'t even use them as I don\'t have water affinity. "

Lafurge opened the pouch before taking out crystals and said, " They are just Low-Grade Water Crystals and 2 Mid-Grade water crystals, you can get...." His voice stopped as he seemed to have noticed something in the crystals.

Seeing this Athan sighed in relief internally, \' phew, I thought you wouldn\'t notice the difference, now tell me what is the thing that was absorbed by the black whirlpool. \'

Something changed about Lafurge as Athan noticed traces of Psychic Energy around the eyes of Lafurge, Since he has opened his Psychic Realm and started using Psychic Energy, He could clearly feel the Psychic Energy of Lafurge.

After looking at the Crystals for a minute, Lafurge muttered, " These Water Crystals\' essence energy is extracted, but it\'s impossible, one can only extract the essence energy after all the energy inside an Elemental Crystal is purified."

Athan could not understand so he asked, " Is there something wrong with these crystals?"

" Yep, You might not know but there are two kinds of elemental energies, one is normal elemental energy and another is Essense elemental energy. generally, low-grade and mid-grade elemental crystals contain a minuscule amount of Essense energy, while high-grade elemental crystals contain more. For example, A high-grade elemental crystal contains the same amount of essence energy that you can find in 10 middle-grade elemental crystals...but " Lafurge once again took a deep look at the crystals given to him by Athan.

" These crystals you gave me don\'t have any essence energy, like someone or something specifically absorb it from them, but that is impossible..."

Athan\'s curiosity was piqued as he asked, " Why it\'s impossible? "

Lafurge put back the crystals in the pouch before saying, " Let me explain you in a simple way, If I want the essence energy contained in these crystals then first I have to absorb all energies from them, I don\'t have the ability to separate essence energy and normal energy, not just me but no one can do that because they are mixed in such deep level...." Lafurge suddenly stopped and stood up before going outside with a woosh.

Athan was dumbfounded by his sudden departure, " What the haek..." he also stood up and went outside but he could not spot Lafurge, \' let\'s wait a few minutes. \' thinking this he just stood there, looking at the sunlight, His two naps seemed have taken a whole day.

But not even a minute passed before he could see Lafurge flying towards him with a....bucket in this hand.

Arriving in front of Athan, Lafurge first gave the bucket filled with water to him and said, " This bucket contains water from another river which is behind this whole mountain range. " Then he waved his hand and took out some of the water from the riven in front of them, " Now this water is from the river in this mountain. "

Seeing Athan nodding Lafurge continued, " If I mix the water from this river into the bucket, can you separate them? " saying he put the water then floating into the bucket.

Athan was dumbfounded as shook his head and said, " This...of course I can\'t separate them. "

Lafurge smiled and said, " Then just like that, It\'s simply not possible to separate Normal Energy and Elemental Energy. "

" Then how do you extract Essense Energy? You said before something about refining. "

Lafurge nodded and said, " indeed, let me ask you, how do you separate salt from water once they are both mixed in? "

" Water\'s boiling point is much lower than salt so if the water is evaporated then the salt will remain even after they are both mixed in. "

Lafurge nodded, " Indeed, The method to get Essense energy is similar to that, Once we absorb all energy inside an elemental crystal, then we will purify the energy using our psychic energy, in that process, the normal energy will be lost due to refining process and only Essense energy will remain as for the use of Essense energy, it\'s too soon for you to know that But Every elemental sorcerer needs an abundance of energy essence to advance in their path, You will know when you reach that point. "

\' Why so secretive? But now I know that The Black whirlpool was absorbing the essences of elements all this time. \' While Athan was thinking Lafurge once again spoke.

" By the way, I want to take these Water Crystals with me for research, in exchange, how about I give you A High-Grade Fire Crystal and A High-Grade Thunder Crystals? "

Athan was surprised, " But The Value of things you are giving me is way higher than what you\'re taking. "

Lafurge just laughed and said, " Athan, Our Valley don\'t lack Thunder and Fire Elemental Crystals, we even have Peak-Grade Elemental Crystals of Thunder and Fire element, Just take them.." Saying this he shoved those two high-grade crystals into Athan\'s hands.

" Alright, if you say so..." Saying this, Athan went back into his home and put those two crystals on his bed before returning.

\' if These crystals stay near me then the black whirlpool will start to absorb essence again and if somehow Lafurge sensed that, then it would become troublesome matter because I still want to keep it a secret, who knows after hearing about it, I might even become a guinea pig here. \'
