The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 290 Cultivation Of The Spiritual Sense

Austin's first effort to refine the Energy-promoting Elixir had failed. Hecollapsed to the ground from fatigue. He really needed a rest.

After a long time, he stood up again and began his second experiment.In this way, he failed three times in succession and wasted threeportions of medicinal materials.

However, little by little, he became acquainted with the refining processof the Energy-promoting Elixir. By his third attempt, he had obtainedsome basic experience on how to control the size and temperature ofthe flame during the refinement.

An hour later, during his fourth attempt, he found that an elixir wasfinally taking shape.

The elixir glowed with a beautiful faint blue luster like a diamond.Austin opened the lid of the herbal pot and picked up the elixir. Then,he carefully put it in a jade bottle.

Finally, he had succeeded in refining an elixir.

He took a deep breath, and then put the jade bottle under his nose andsniffed. The strong fragrance emitting from the elixir was refreshing.

He felt that the quality of the elixir wasn't bad considering it was thefirst one he had ever refined.

Cheered up by his success, Austin continued his refining of the Energy-promoting Elixirs.

He succeeded the second time.

And then the third.

He kept refining the Energy-promoting Elixirs. .

The final time was a success too

In the end, Austin had refined seven Energy-promoting Elixirs from theten portions of medicinal materials he had procured.

The more he practiced, the better the quality of the Energy-promotingElixirs he refined became.

This was the result of the continuous improvement of his alchemy.Austin quickly threw on his disguise so that he could bring these sevenEnergy-promoting Elixirs to the elixir store where he had sold themuscle-generating powder last time.

Once he left the inn, he cautiously chose an alley with fewer people.He knew that he had made many enemies recently.

His biggest concern was the Blood Wolf Team since he had killeddozens of its members. All those members hadn't been strong and theircultivation bases had been at Energy Gathering Realm or Earth Realm.Of course, Austin had also killed Raymond, the grandson of the ChiefElder of the Flaming Sun Valley. Even though he was doing his best tobe careful, he was still afraid that the Chief Elder of the Flaming SunValley would track him down to avenge his grandson's death

The Flaming Sun Valley was a big sect that was stronger than the SunSect. With its power and resources, the Flaming Sun Valley could easilyreplace out that Austin was involved in Raymond's death.

Moreover, he had also killed Johnson, the steward of the Sun Sect.There were only dozens of stewards in a sect. Losing a steward was nota trivial matter, so the Sun Sect would certainly attach great importanceto it and carry out a thorough investigation.

Austin knew that his cultivation base was pretty high since he was atthe premium stage of Earth Realm now.

But he had many strong enemies. He was facing the three major forcesof the Violet Orchid Empire: the Blood Wolf Team, the Flaming SunValley, and the Sun Sect.

On the other hand, he was all alone and helpless in the world.

There were many strong cultivators in these sects, but he was confidentthat with his current strength, he could defeat the cultivators who wereat the Earth Realm.

But if and when he had to face the cultivators who were at theMysterious Realm, he would be in serious trouble.

Therefore, he had to keep a low profile until he was strong enough todefeat them.

A few moments later, Austin reached the elixir store. The shopkeeperwho had served him last time quickly came out to greet him with amodest smile. Austin took out the seven Energy-promoting Elixirs hehad refined and sold them to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's attitude became humbler when he took the Energy-promoting Elixirs. He guessed that Austin must be a pill refiner sinceAustin had sold him elixirs from time to time.

Pill refining was a highly respected profession with an elevated status.After checking the quality of the seven Energy-promoting Elixirs, theshopkeeper offered a price of four hundred pieces of vital energycrystals for each of the elixirs.

So in total, the shopkeeper was ready to pay two thousand and eighthundred pieces of vital energy crystals for the seven Energy-promotingElixirs.

After removing the cost of producing the seven elixirs, which was aboutfive hundred pieces of vital energy crystals, Austin made a profit ofmore than two thousand pieces of vital energy crystals.

What was more, it had only taken him three days to refine sevenEnergy-promoting Elixirs.

He sighed contentedly at how fast he could earn money now.

In the past, when he had been a grunt disciple, he had only been ableto get a few pieces of vital energy crystals a month and a few dozens ayear.

Even an ordinary disciple of the Sun Sect would only receive a fewhundred pieces of vital energy crystals a year from the sect.

But now, in just three days, Austin had earned over two thousandpieces of vital energy crystals.

Thinking about the days when he had used to worry about having evena few cultivation resources, Austin couldn't help but feel as if they werefrom a separate era

Next, Austin purchased another batch of medicinal materials to preparefor alchemy. This time, he was going to refine the Energy-boostingElixir.

The Energy-boosting Elixir was a special elixir used for the EnergyGathering Realm cultivation. It would be a significant help to cultivatorswho wanted to advance to the next levels of the Energy GatheringRealm.

When a cultivator wanted to advance to the next level of EnergyGathering Realm, taking an Energy-boosting Elixir would double hisodds of success.

If the chance of breakthrough was fifty percent, it would become ahundred percent after taking the Energy-boosting Elixir.

Compared to the Energy-promoting Elixir, the Energy-boosting Elixirwas precious and rare.

Only disciples who were highly gifted in martial arts and had beentrained specially by their sects were able to receive the Energy-boostingElixirs.

When Austin had been an outer disciple, he had received only a fewEnergy-boosting Elixirs.

Now, he was trying to refine it himself.

Once again, he purchased ten portions of the medicinal materialsneeded to refine the Energy-boosting Elixirs.

After returning to the inn, Austin immediately started the process ofrefining the Energy-boosting Elixir.

He still had to follow the three basic steps of alchemy to extract theessence of different medicinal materials, blend them together andrefine them.

However, he soon realized that refining the Energy-boosting Elixir wasmuch more difficult than refining the Energy-promoting Elixir.

No wonder the Energy-boosting Elixir was considered a higher gradeelixir; it was really difficult to make.

Austin wasted six portions of medicinal materials just to master the firsttwo steps of extracting the essence of medicinal materials and blendingthem together.

Then, in the last step of refining, Austin failed twice. In the end, he onlymanaged to successfully refine two Energy-boosting Elixirs from tenportions of medicinal materials.

Looking at the Energy-boosting Elixirs in front of him, Austinunderstood that the better the effect of an elixir, the more difficult itwas to refine.

In any case, he had finally succeeded in refining the Energy-boostingElixir.

As long as he practiced more in the future, he would be able toincrease his success rate.

After Austin finished using all ten portions of the medicinal materials,he still had six days left to his appointment with the shopkeeper of theelixir store.

He decided to use that time to cultivate his spiritual sense with the helpof powerful crystals.

At present, Austin's spiritual sense could cover a range of four hundredmeters.

"Violet, how are doing with your cultivation?" Using his mind, Austincommunicated with Violet, who was in the Illusion Bead.

Ever since acquiring the powerful crystals, Violet had spent almost allher time in cultivation. She hid inside the Illusion Bead every day andseldom contacted Austin unless he took the initiative to call her."Master, I have completely stabilized at the medium stage of EarthRealm.

Now, I'm gonna get ready for the premium stage of Earth Realm.Master, do you want to use the powerful crystals to cultivate yourspiritual sense?”

Violet was so clever that she could figure out Austin’s thoughts at once.They had found a large number of powerful crystals in the Cloud Cavewhich were enough to support both of their cultivation at the sametime without any conflict.

"Yes. How do I use them?" Austin asked.

"It's very easy. You just need to hold the powerful crystal in your handand lock it with your spiritual sense so that you can absorb the specialenergy from it. By using that special energy, you can gradually cultivateyour spiritual sense and thus enhance it," Violet explained.

Austin took out a piece of powerful crystal from his Space Ring, placedit in his hand, sat cross-legged, and released his spiritual sense to lockthe powerful crystal.

Sure enough, Austin felt a peculiar energy coming from the powerfulcrystal. As soon as his spiritual sense encountered the special energy,he felt a sense of comfort take over him.

This kind of energy had a very nourishing effect on spiritual sense.Austin calmed down and let his spiritual sense tightly lock the powerfulcrystal. After a while, he sensed the peculiar energy contained in thepowerful crystal gradually infiltrate his spiritual sense and become thenutrient that strengthened it.

Half a day later, Austin had completely absorbed the energy of thepowerful crystal in his hand, and his spiritual sense was alsostrengthened.

He was delighted to replace that after absorbing the energy of a piece ofpowerful crystal, the range of his spiritual sense had increased to aboutfour hundred and fifty meters.

In other words, the energy contained in a piece of powerful crystalcould increase the strength and range of spiritual sense by fifty meters.Spiritual sense was a special skill that was extremely difficult tocultivate, but the powerful crystal eased the process along. It seemedthat Violet was right to value the powerful crystal so highly.

For the next few days, Austin immersed himself wholeheartedly inabsorbing the energy of the powerful crystals.

Five hundred meters.

Five hundred and fifty meters.

Six hundred meters.

Six hundred and fifty meters... .

Five days later, he found that his spiritual sense could reach a distanceof nine hundred meters.

In the process, he absorbed the energy of ten pieces of powerfulcrystals.

The strength of his spiritual sense had also more than doubled.

Austin was very satisfied with the current strength of his spiritual sense.Finally, he stood up and stretched his body. He had been sittingmotionless for five days.

His eyes brightened when he suddenly remembered what day it was.Today was the day that Austin had an appointment with theshopkeeper of the elixir store. He could go to the elixir store and collectthe medicinal materials needed for his cultivation of the third stage ofthe Overlord Body-refining Formula.

If one cultivated the third stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula,his bones, muscles, and veins would be thoroughly reformed and hewould be able to resist the invasion of most toxins, so almost nodisease could threaten him. Even fire and water wouldn't be able toeasily destroy his body. He also would be able to resist the full-fledgedattack of a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Earth Realm. His punchwould have a force of about eight thousand pounds.
