Spirits, The essence of magic.
Born from pure magic yet a very weird race.
How is a spirit Born? It is born when a certain element of magic becomes super concentrated creating a spirit. A newborn Spirit is neglectable as it is nearly impossible to detect them. But as they get older they immerse more magic power becoming more noticeable and eventually they become what we know as the spirits. The small creatures that take the form of animals but are distinctly noticeable as they are made purely of magic. But this is only low-grade spirits what about High-grade spirits, They are different they will become nearly identical to what race they mimic. The only difference being the Oppressing aura of Pure magic power they give off making even the most magically handicap of a person feel the magic coursing around the beeing.
But sadly High-grade spirits are in short supply as when a low-grade spirit they are either killed for there spirit core or captured and are harvested on a regular basis for the materials you can collect off a spirit.
But if you are lucky you can find a gate a simple looking gate hidden in environments with extreme purity of mana. This gate will lead you to a world Spirits. Be warned any who enter these realms of the spirits be prepared for the spirits wraith if you hurt a spirit in the spirit plane. and each Major element have there own special plane but these planes are hostile to all who don't share mana similar to there's

"So let me get this right you traded all of your base stats except for 1 Con so you wouldn't up and die and then took on a lot of curses hoping I would remove the curses or am I missing something."
"That's about right. But wouldn't you help remove them even if I planned to remove them on my own."She says as she puffs out her chest in a proud manner.
She is right I would help remove the curses, as we need the fighting force but how am I suppose to remove the curses.
Ti...
{I was waiting for you to call me. I have managed to find 3 Curse removal spells and 1 Item which we can currently afford and will remove all the curses. Only the item removes all the curses instantly.}
Ok Tik, show me what you got.
[Spell of purification

[Curse Transfer

Tik how am I supposed to get High Tier undead essence. I can get everything else somewhat easily but that.
{Bob you are a high tier undead you're a lich. So all you have to do to refine your essence is to Concentrate on your soul and once you see your soul you just have to shave off some of the fog around your soul. But be warned it is said that this is the only way to inflict pain upon the undead. You should be fine since its just small part of the essence so it will only feel like a scratch.}(AN. YOU CAN SKIP THIS ITS JUST INFO NOT IMPORTANT AT THE BOTTOM SHORT VERSION IN A SEPARATE AN. Most undead has never felt pain so they have never developed a resistance to it. They are like a baby they have felt minimal pain and have no tolerance to it so anything can hurt them even if it is something that wouldn't normally. Meaning an undead can develop pain tolerance for there soul. Ghost-type undead are immune to the pain of there soul as they are just a soul and undead can't feel pain in there form. But if a Ghost were to get a physical body that is possessed something like they grew it or made it then they would be in the same spot as the other undead.)
(AN. in short physical undead have Physical pain removed and soul type undead has soul pain removed. So they have felt no pain and pains new to them)
I guess I am gonna be selling my body for skills huh.
"Ahh, I almost forgot why I came here in the first place. You are ready to move Correct."
"I have managed to get everyone ready and packed up the entire camp with all of our resources and I even had the Goblin Gatherer's Prepare the plants we have for moving." She says as she tries to straighten her back before slumping forward.
It seems the 0 Strength is quite a big problem she seems to be having a really hard time. Thinking back to our entire conversation all her movements have been slow and weak. Reaching down to my left wrist grabbing it and with one quick movement I snap it off. Now holding My left hand which I could still Vaguely feel connected with.
I was actually expecting that to hurt.
Tik, Get (Hands of The Healing Saint). In my right hand which was Holding my left hand now held a book with a light golden trim with dark gold letters writing out (Hands of The Healing Saint Skill From Shelmo Healing Saint).
I did the simplest thing and used the skill book instead of flipping throw the pages of the book trying to learn it so the book can be reused as it would be very easy for me to get more of these books just a simple breaking off the hand and selling my hand for the skill (AN. a skill book can be used in one of two ways 1 Use it. if you use it the book burns becoming dust unable to be used again but you get the skill instantly, 2 is reading through the book and once you have read through the book and understand 80% of the content in the book you will gain the skill and the book won't burst into flames becoming dust.)
Looking up at Huttel she has a shocked expression on her face questioning what just happened and where my hand went its all the questions are practically written on her face.
"Just turn around and don't move ok."
"Ehh, ah, Yyes." she does a surprisingly agile spin on one foot for someone who was just having trouble moving her arms about.
Walking up to her I press my hand on her back in between her shoulder plates and start using the skill.
I feel the Qi in my Body rapidly Gather in my hand before Shifting in nature from the basic Qi to the gentle yet ruthless Nature Qi before seeping out of my hand and into her back and concentrating on her heart where several black masses and one pale green mass are residing. The Nature Qi which entered her body started to wrap around the masses shrinking them to only a tenth of the original of there original size. Before a Familiar Sensation descended upon me but it was a little different than last time My body started to ache and not just a lite ache no it felt like I got driven over by a truck before it decided to take its time loading anvils into its box increasing the wait fastly in random increments. There is one good thing out of this tho I know what part of my body have feelings as only my right arm and leg have this feeling on them but this is just enough to cause my body to go somewhat limp from the pain that is overtaking them.
"It seems like I don't have enough Qi to remove them in one go. Well, I will just remove them after I gain all my Qi back but while that happens I might as well spend time in Lich form as this pain ain't getting any better."
{Bob by the time your Qi regenerates the curse will be back to full strength. They're probably almost back to full strength.}
So should I just Make an essence and trade it for some holy water than.
{Probably.}
And thus started a process of Bob trying to shave off some of the mist around his soul. he tried twice before Tik Told him how to do it. It was actually very simple All you have to do is lead Mana or Qi to a part of the mist and surround the mist then slowly move the mist away from the Soul Fog. He could move the Mist away Fastly but That doesn't Feel Pleasant at all as it were the pain part comes in so if it's done slowly enough there no pain. But Pain was something, Bob was worried about as he found a speed that felt like peeling a bandaid off and Bob choose that as the speed to go at for now. it only took 10 secs for bob to separate the section from his Soul Fog.
That was easy and fast don't see the problem with it.
{Thats because you are used to pain. Most undead would need half a day to get the same amount of Essence.
I'm already doing the trade don't have to ask.}
Thank you Tik saves me the time. In front of Bob, there was a small ball of Fog with a mini bob in it. It's taking a bit longer for this trade to go through did the trade get removed and Tiks looking for a similar one. Might as well check what this essence is.
[Elemental Lich Essence

Effect: Can Be used to create various products. Can be dispersed to summon a lvl 8 copy of the owner of the Essence to fight for you for 15 minutes.

Owner of the essence will take 1000% increased damage and pass out at the end of the 5 seconds. A summoned copy will not attack the original and will attack summoner if forced to attack the original.
Description: Essence of a special High tier undead.]
Well, that's a neat item I wonder what they want with it.
{Done. Transaction going through now bob.}
The essence disappeared and was soon to be replaced by not one bottle of holy water but a small crate of Holy water and a small note. The small note read:
[Dear owner of Tik the Bargaining System.
Your System drives a hard bargain but if what it said is true then it will be worth the price. We have also added a small bonus onto the first payment to show our sincerity.
Sincerely Head priest of Remish eastern temple.]
I have several questions Tik but first, let me do something and then you will answer my questions as we head back up the mountain.
Bending over and picking up a bottle of holy water and doing a quick check to make sure its holy water and it is. I get up and move on over to Huttel telling her to drink it and its effects. And after she is done to go and get everyone to gather at the front gate to follow me to there new home.
After 5 mins everyone was gathered with an energetic and happy Huttel in the lead roaring to go and it seemed to be contagious as Goblins around her started getting energetic and happy while following her over to me, as long as they don't become a slow mess then It will fine. Waving them to follow me I start my journey up the mountain and no it wasn't fast apparently the goblins had to take a lot of breaks as they couldn't carry everything that wasn't stored in inventory's for long distances giving me quite a bit to talk with Tik and Huttel also a little time to go over some plans and what do do with the Gift from the Priest.
At the start of the journey Talk with Tik
Tik you have some answers to some questions I have. First question Whats with The Bargaining System title he gave you.
{You see when I checked the essence and saw it was special I thought we could get more stuff out of him and if not we could get some special stuff out of a bigger Temple. Sooo I kinda did some sweet talking and some threats of going to his competitors and Wallah we got a lot more stuff. I also told him I was a bargaining system I was kinda designed to be a bargaining system but was scrapped and built up to the true king system so I still have some knowledge meant for the bargaining system in my system.}
That's nice you got a little extra there and the loot you got is welcome. Second question what did you promise him?
{I told him that we have captured a newly advanced elemental lich and we can provide him with 1 essence every 2 weeks as the Elemental Lich was Extremely weak from almost failing to advance and would have failed if you didn't intervene so we cant Take more essence then that.}
Why did you say that? You could have just told him it was from me. Wait I know Anti "Unholy races" type correct. The third question am I held into this forever or is their ways for me to cut this off.
{We can cut it off whenever we just have to provide 2 essences free of charge or if someone offers us a higher offer we can move over to the one who offers us more there will be no essence charge but we have to give him a 1 week to give a counter offer and we have to tell him what the overall value of what they offered to us is. and you are correct his god is apart of the anti Unholy races.}
Last question any clue what they will use the essence for.
{He will probably use it to buy his way up the high archy of his church. but they would probably edit the clothes and some basic features of the Lich soul to make it look somewhat like a saint or hero before either giving the item to there loyal believers as an auxiliary support item or have them crafted into holy weapons that can summon a weapon spirit of a dead saint or hero.}
Wait, that's not gonna be a dead saint or hero it's just gonna be a dressed up essence of me. So it's just all Bologna. They actually are using to say hey our heroes still fight with us after death from gods kingdom or something like that.
{The most probable reason why they do it.}
Looking down at the Gift the Priest gave us. What am I suppose to do with this?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not gonna do the skill like charge throw and such since I've done them(Actually I might do Throw next chapter gonna check if I didn't do it can't remember)
