Chapter 229: Zachary's shock (B)

"It's an elixir that opens mana channels inside the human body, you might be feeling surprised but humans have mana channels and it's not only the magical beasts that possess mana channels. Anyway, the elixir I gave you is called a mana channel opening elixir and have a 100% chance to open mana channels os a human upon consumption!" Whittaker replied, exclaiming the effects of the elixir to Elder Zachary.

His reply was like a bolt of thunder striking Zachary out of the blue. Hearing his words, Zachary realized that the Mana Channel Opening elixir was even more expensive and precious than his Celestial Wine!

The Celestial wine could provide benefits dozen years or even decades worth of meditation in one single gulp, and although the mana channel opening pill didn't have such a terrifying effect, it helps a person defy what is destined!

Nina saw various emotions in her father's face.

Zachary was ecstatic at Whittaker's answer, and at the same time, he looked absolutely surprised.

"This this is too precious. How could you let me eat it? Young friend, I don't know how you got your hands on the recipe for Mana channel Opening Elixir, but you should never reveal the recipe to everyone! That way, the benefits you obtain from this elixir can be maximized. And this elixir is too precious to squander it on an elderly person like me. I may not look like it but I am one step away from entering the grave. You should use all these elixirs to open all your mana channels."

Zachary's heart melted by Whittaker's actions, and he strongly advised him to use this precious elixir on himself, and not waste them on old bones.

"What do you mean, Elder Zachary looks younger than a middle-aged man. I am sure you will live for a long time. Besides, the magical ingredients used to make these elixir weren't costly or precious. They were rather common and easily obtainable from the back garden. The elixir was easy to create. Furthermore, I have already opened all of my mana channels and formed a magic body,"

Ha?!

Cheap herbs?

Easily obtainable?

A godly elixir that is easy to create?

Magic body? Opened all Mana channel?

Some familiar terms some unfamiliar terms. But they all shocked Zachary to the very core.

"What did you say?"

Zachary couldn't believe that this ultra godly precious elixir that helped him take a beyond the limit of his mana pool was made from magical herbs obtainable in his back garden.

This was unbelievable!

"Yes, father. The magical herbs used to create the mana channel opening elixir are cheap and easily obtainable. Besides, we have dozens of mana channel opening elixirs stored in our storage item." Nina said, shocking Zachary even more than before, and Whittaker believed that his teacher's eyes will pop out of their sockets if he's surprised a few more times.

"Here you go," Whittaker said while handing out nine mana channel opening elixirs. "There are ten mana channels in the body, and these nine elixirs will help elder the rest of them."

"You silly child! I am too old to benefit from such an elixir. Save it for someone else," Zachary refused to take it.

He has been living for 500+ years, and now just wished to reunite with his wife in the spirit world.

"Father, stop being stubborn! Do you think you will reunite with mom after you die? The afterlife is endlessly huge, and you will just be another soul in that place, there is no chance of you reuniting with mom as a mere soul," Nina scolded with puffed cheeks, and although she sounded very angry at Zachary, she was just concerned for him as his daughter. After all, she has been taking care of him since forever and did not want him to die.

"I don't know much about the spirit world but I believe what elder sister Nina is saying is true. Anyway, the lifespan of a B rank awakened is only 550 years. However, once you open all your mana Channels, your lifespan will hopefully increase. As I could feel rejuvenated as if there was an increase in my lifespan after I opened all my channels and created the magic body," Whittaker said before handing out the elixir once again.

Because Whittaker thought that Zachary's lifespan was coming to an end, he said these words to get him to open all the mana channels and increase his life, but he didn't know that Zachary wanted to go to the spirit world. As that is the only way he will reunite with his wife.

"Okay, I will take them." Elder Zachary put on an act of submitting to their demands and stored the mana channel opening elixirs in his spatial ring.

Although Whittaker was fooled by the crafty old fox, how could his thoughts escape Nina?

She was connected to Zachary by thoughts and shared emotions with him. His true intentions were seen through by Nina's stern and piercing gaze.

"Little brother opened a mysterious space at the center of his eyebrows after he opened his tenth mana channel. Father, I believe that that is the soul room. This is a chance for you to come in contact with the spirit world while still being alive, and climb up to the spirit world with all your power. It's far better than dying and entering the unknown spirit world as a mere soul!"

The soul room?!

"Wait, what did you say?"

"I said that you might open the soul room after opening all of your mana channels."

Not possessing the soul room was the greatest regret of Zachary's life. It was the main reason why he failed to pass the exam of becoming a Twilight Walker, and now there was hope to possess the soul room!

Unbelievable!

Whittaker raised his hand and asked, "Umm, what is a soul room?"

"It's too soon to explain it to you. It will be good if little brother focuses on advancing as a battle master and mage." Nina said.

"No, if what you said is true then he might possess a soul room. He also possesses an invitation to the twilight walker's department. He's bound to come in contact with the spirit world. It's time for young friend to understand some important things about the awakened continent." Zachary called off Nina and decided to explain what they know to Whittaker.

Hearing his words, Whittaker curiosity hit the peak and he expectantly looked at Zachary

"It's a long story. So listen carefully countless years ago, when I was still in my youth, I was lucky enough to come in contact with Arakazans, Evil Spirit hunters, and the twilight walkers. After years of pestering the twilight Walker, I received a chance to take the twilight Walker test. Sadly, I was not talented enough and failed in the very first exam, which was about awakening a soul room."

"Elder, what is a soul room?" He asked once again.

"Soul room is a unique space that opens in the middle of the eyebrow. It is an important place that is used to house a "Being" from the spirit world. Those who do not possess a Soul room in their body cannot form a contract with the beings of the Spirit world, thus are unable to become a twilight walker. The soul room has other uses. Only a person with a soul room can use soul force to create a soul Gate."

'This was the first time I have ever received valid information about the spirit world.' Whittaker was amazed at Zachary's knowledge about the spirit world and wanted to find out more about the spirit world.

"Elder, what is a soul gate?"
