After collecting all the Space Rings that were spread around the area, Austin's roaming gaze finally stopped as they landed on a giant metal bucket right in the middle of an open space from which the medicinal vapor was rising.
Somehow, everyone had managed to deliberately avoid hitting the bucket even when they were furious. Most probably because they all knew that the medicinal liquid in it was priceless and precious for everyone.
"Overlord Body-Refining Formula... ... …"
Austin recalled what Lois had told him earlier, "Scott extracted the sap of vigor trees in order to cultivate the Overlord Body-Refining Formula." It was precious and rare!
According to Lois, the Overlord Body-Refining Formula, an inheritance she had received from her ancestors had later turned out to be a grade seven formula.
Grade Seven formulae were a rare occurrence around the entire globe. They were invaluable, extraordinarily difficult to find, and difficult to process even for the great sects.
The Overlord Body-Refining Formula was extremely powerful as well as remarkably useful for body cultivation. However, the preciousness of formulae related to practicing vital energy increased from the well-known fact that the vital energy level of a cultivator reflected his/her true powers. In fact, it was the sole way of measuring it.
Thus Body cultivation, which allowed a cultivator to improve body constitution and strengthen vitality, was usually regarded as an auxiliary and complement effort to vital energy practice.
Giving too much time and effort to one's physical practice was often seen as catching the shadow and losing the substance in the chase.
Therefore, physical-practicing formulae were typically not welcomed by cultivators and they avoided, more so if the formula was not very expensive.
But, even if that were true, the grade of this particular formula alone was high enough to attract several cultivators.
Scott was one of them, he unintentionally heard the position of Overlord Body-Refining Formula and poisoned Gilbert to death to steal it. Then he rushed to this vigor tree forest and extracted sap to cultivate this grade seven formula.
'Skill is no burden. Since it's a grade seven formula, it must have its forte.'
Austin's mind started to activate and he pondered over how to use the formula.
Then he took out Scott's Space Ring and employed his spiritual sense to search it for some time.
Suddenly, something happened inside the ring and out of nowhere, a slender slip made of pure green jade appeared in his hands.
The crystal clear jade slip, sparkling with a soft light, was carved with the words "Overlord Body-Refining Formula".
Yup, that was it. The entire formula was recorded on a slip of jade instead of paper. Much more versatile and long-lasting.
Since Austin had a bit of cursory information about formulae recorded on jade slips, he knew well how to use one. The idea was to place one's forehead against the slip. As soon as he did that, a white light emanated out of the jade slip and a large amount of mysterious and wonderful information about the formula entered into his head through it.
It contained all the information about the Overlord Body Refining Formula and it was, to say the least, terrible!
