The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin clearly knew that the youngest prince had agreed to do him a favor so that he would owe him. However, considering that the prince was nice to him, Austin was more than willing to return the favor someday.

The two had beccloser and treated each other as close friends.

It was in that afternoon that the youngest prince took his leave.

"Master, are you really going to leave the Violet Orchid Empire?" Violet asked.

"Yes," Austin replied in a determined tone.

"Master, before leaving here, | want to go to the Grand Desolation Mountain.

Before | met you, | lived deep inside the Grand Desolation Mountain. | was forced to leave my hbecause of the sixth-grade rhinoceros king.

But sof my best friends are still there. | want to see them.

Besides, you can actually establish your own team to protect the Austin Palace," Violet proposed, hopeful that her master would grant her request.

"Oh? Build my own team? Are you saying that | should recruit people to work for me?" Austin responded, seemingly curious and shocked with her proposal.

He knew that Violet must have put forward that suggestion for sreason.

Violet grinned and said, "Master, no need for that.

Have you forgotten about the Beast-subduing Skill that the FlEmperor has taught you? You can even ttenth-grade diabolic beasts with this skill. | just thought that maybe you can vanquish a dozen fifth-grade or sixth-grade diabolic beasts in the Grand Desolation Mountain and ask them to guard this place.

I'm sure they are much stronger than those royal guards. What do you say?" Upon hearing this, Austin patted his head lightly and exclaimed with delight, "Oh, yeah, you're right.

How did I not think of that? Now that | have mastered the Beast-subduing Skill, | should make full use of it.

Fine, let's go to the Grand Desolation Mountain. Since the sixth-grade rhinoceros king was atrocious to you, I'll make him pay for what he had done.

At the stime, | can tsdiabolic beasts and bring them back to guard the Austin Palace. It's a win-win." Austin had always been a man of action. Once he was set to do something, he would really do it as soon as possible.

He spent the whole day with Ivy and Sue and then left for the Grand Desolation Mountain secretly.

Before he took off, he went into an elixir store and bought a bunch of third-grade elixirs. He intended to use those to refine the Energy-prevailing Elixir.

Refining the Energy-prevailing Elixir successfully meant one had been a level-three pill refiner.

Austin was currently a level-two refiner, and according to Angus, the refiners of that level were the weakest in the elixir refining field.

So Austin had resolved to spare stto improve his elixir refining skill.

He had purchased those pills for practice in hopes of becoming a level-three pill refiner.

In the Mysterious Nether World, Angus had shared all his insights and methods on the elixir refining skill with Austin. The truth was, Austin had benefited a lot from that information, and all he needed to do was to practice more. It wouldn't take him long to be as good as a level-three pill refiner.

Four days later, after quite a journey, Austin had reached the entrance to the Grand Desolation Mountain.

He stopped at a small market nearby.

There were restaurants, inns, and shops which purchased all kinds of spoils that cultivators had collected from the Grand Desolation Mountain.

Austin was familiar with the place. After all, he had checked in an inn in the area before.

Last the was there, he was chased by five members of the Blood Wolf Team who were at the seventh or eighth level of the Energy Gathering Realm.

At that time, he needed to go all out to deal with the cultivators at the seventh or eighth level of the Energy Gathering Realm. But now that he was much stronger and powerful, it was child's play for him to take out his opponents of that level.

At that thought, Austin couldn't help sighing emotionally.

That night, he found an inn and checked in, intending to enter the mountains the next day.

At midnight while everyone was asleep, the entire inn was filled with silence. The luminance of the moon served as the only light.

Sitting down on his bed, cross-legged, Austin was practicing the Golden Sun Scripture.

Soon after he opened his palm, a purple and old herbal pot materialized. Apart from spatterns of rare beasts and birds, there were also carvings on it, including several mysterious symbols and ancient characters.

He had gotten the herbal pot from the pill room of the Great Sage Cloud.

Austin had managed to refine several elixirs with that pot.

Swiftly, he took out a third-grade Cinnabar Flower and placed it into the herbal pot through the hole on its cover.

Then he covered the two vents at the bottom with his hand. As he concentrated, a scarlet flScorching Evil Fire appeared over his palm.

He activated the Scorching Evil Fire with the vital energy force inside his palm, and suddenly, a gust of violent flentered the vents of the pot and surged at the Cinnabar Flower.

As the elixir was surrounded by the scarlet flame, smoke rose and sizzled in the air. That was the cue to get the liquid.

Since the flames were from the Scorching Evil Fire, they boasted great power.

In a blink of an eye, the Cinnabar Flower was turned into a drop of medicinal liquid which gave off a strong scent. The smell gushed out from the herbal pot and penetrated Austin's nose.

‘What? It's really an efficient way to refine elixirs with Unearthly Fire. That's so amazing, ' he thought in disbelief.

If he had utilized the fire of vital energy to refine the third-grade Cinnabar Flower, it would have cost him at least forty minutes to extract its essence.

But now, he was able to do it in such a short time.

‘That's quite impressive, ' he exclaimed inside.

Even with the amusement in himself, he could still admit that he was not yet good at controlling the Scorching Evil Fire. Once he becadept in controlling it, he speculated that the speed of his refining elixirs would be much faster.

In fact, he had utilized the Scorching Evil Fire to make elixirs several times under Angus' guidance in the Mysterious Nether World.

But he was still impressed by the incredible speed that the Unearthly Fire had brought.

Austin was more than grateful to Angus for introducing the Scorching Evil Fire to him. It not only improved his battle force but also sped up the process of refining elixirs.

He then threw the rest of the elixirs into the herbal pot.

The extraction of each elixir was done within a few seconds.

Although Austin manipulated the Scorching Evil Fire with great care, he still had a problem extracting the last elixir.

The herb was burnt to ashes instantly.

The failure in extracting the last elixir suggested that Austin failed to refine the third-grade elixir.

Austin wasn't frustrated about the result for he was aware that it was impossible for him to succeed so quickly.

Hence, he repeated the process, and after a dozen attempts, he somehow managed to extract the essence of all the third-grade elixirs However, the last step to refine the Energy-prevailing Elixir didn't go well.

Although Austin had read and memorized all the cautions and steps about refining the third-grade elixirs, he still made smistakes in executing it.

Austin clearly knew that practice made perfect.

But after attempting for over ten times and not getting anywhere, he finally stopped, lay on the bed and fell asleep in his clothes.

The next day, he got up early and went on his way to the Grand Desolation Mountain.

Most third-grade or fourth-grade diabolic beast lived in the outer mountains of the Grand Desolation Mountain.

The third or fourth grade diabolic beasts were as strong as the cultivators at the medium or premium stage of the Earth Realm.

As a cultivator of the Sky Realm, Austin could kill more than ten diabolic beasts of that two levels with just one move.

Therefore, he didn't stick around and instead walked deep into the Grand Desolation Mountain.

According to Violet, her abode was deep in the mountain.

When Austin first met Violet, she was just a third-grade demonic beast. At that thought, he was astonished to know that she used to live in the innermost part of the Grand Desolation Mountain. He couldn't imagine how she had survived with such weak strength.

‘No doubt she was forced to leave her hby a sixth-grade rhinoceros king, ' Austin thought, recalling what Violet had told him.

The minute he entered the outer range of Grand Desolation Mountain, he asked Violet and the gnto get out of the Illusion Bead.

The gnwas an active being, and boredom almost killed it after being trapped in the Illusion Bead for so long. The second Austin released it from the bead, it vanished without saying a word to him.

Austin shook his head with a helpless expression. 'lt will cback after hanging around.

It is shrewd and moves at an alarming speed. Only a few diabolic beasts could hurt it, | guess, ' he thought, not worrying much about the gnwhich had just escaped to freedom.
