The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 144

Here it is, Master,

Violet said as she handed Austin the celestial energy ginseng.

Austin reached out his hand and took it from her. An overwhelming feeling of triumph took hold of him. In his hands was the most coveting magical substance hundreds of cultivators could only dream of having.

"You... ... I see it now. You were in this together! This whole time, you planned to keep the celestial energy ginseng to yourselves!"

Fanny exclaimed as she realized the truth.

"Oh, sister. You are too beautiful to be a monster," Fanny said, looking at Violet.

Fanny was a skinny little girl. Being around Violet who had the shape of a woman always made her feel a little insecure.

Violet modestly smiled as she covered her mouth with her hand.

"You're beautiful too, little sister. You're blossoming. I am sure that you will soon turn many heads," she replied sincerely.

The women seemed to have connected very well. They talked as if they had known each other for years.

Austin continued to admire the celestial energy ginseng as he thought of the legend that surrounded the magical substance. It was a tale widely spread among the disciples of Violet Orchid Empire.

It was said that this once allowed a disciple of the Bloody Hero Gang to go from the eighth level of the Energy Gathering Realm to the first layer of the Earth Realm. To this day, it was still believed that the substance remained as potent as ever, even after four hundred years.

He looked at the treasure on his hands and wondered if what the legend said were true.

He had many strengths but they were hidden in the shadow of his one great weakness: his lack of an ability to cultivate vital energy.

It was for this reason that Austin longed to reach a higher level of vital energy all his life. This was his greatest wish that led him to his quest to attain the celestial energy ginseng.

"Violet, stand guard for me. I want to cultivate inside this cave," he ordered.

"Master, are you sure you want to eat the celestial energy ginseng inside this cave?"

Violet asked. She was fully aware of his intentions, but she could not help but worry.

"Yes, I am. The longer it is in our possession, the more dangerous it is. There are many people who will stop at nothing to own something so precious. Besides, my current vital energy is no longer sufficient. It needs to be replenished as soon as possible. Now that I have the celestial energy ginseng, I can use it to reach a higher level," he replied.

"Master, you are only at the seventh level of the Energy Gathering Realm. Isn't it risky? The celestial energy ginseng has been in existence for so many years. Its power is unimaginable. I know the legend of the Bloody Hero Gang, but how are we even sure that it's true that he reached the Earth Realm after taking the ginseng? How did he manage to handle all that energy without meeting his peril if this substance was as potent as they say?" she expressed.

"Good observation, Violet, but it is not enough to deem the legend false. Rare treasures such as this one possess properties above the laws of nature that we are familiar with. Perhaps, the force produced by the celestial energy ginseng, despite its potency, is not one that is harmful to men. In all honesty, its power does not scare me. Don't worry," Austin told Violet. He was quite confident of his ability to absorb the ginseng's energy because of another treasure that was in his elixir field: the vital energy stone.

If the little monkey he got it from were telling the truth, the vital energy stone inside his body should allow him to store an infinite amount of vital energy.

With this treasure, Austin should be able to take in rare materials and treasures without the dangers of being overwhelmed by their power.

If his body failed to withstand such an enormous amount of energy, he could channel them instead into the vital energy stone. There, it would be stored. With its infinite capacity, he would be able to take in all the vital energy produced by the celestial energy ginseng.

Austin had been extracting vital energy from the stone just to sustain himself. At that rate, he guessed that there must not be much left.

This gave him very little to fear about the celestial energy ginseng's potency. He was even more concerned that it would not be powerful enough to produce the amount of vital energy he needed.

Seeing Austin quite sure of himself, Violet ceased asking any more questions. After all, she knew Austin. He was not the type to do anything rashly. He always made sure before he made decisions.

But once he decided to do something, it was almost impossible to convince him otherwise. With a sigh, Violet conceded and went to leave the cave.

"Let's go, little sister. Master is about to cultivate," Violet said as she walked over to Fanny, taking her arm.

Fanny hesitated. Hearing Austin's plan made her very curious. She wanted to know what it would feel like too. She also wondered what would happen after Austin ate it.

Still, she knew that it would be very difficult for a cultivator to refine vital energy and reach a higher level if someone were watching. One little distraction could void all his efforts. At worse, it could even drive him mad.

Hence, Fanny reluctantly followed after Violet out of the cave.

"Fine. I won't watch your stinking cultivation. No big deal, I don't care about it anyway," Fanny said bitterly as she left, staring at Austin. . . .

Inside the cave, Austin sat with his legs crossed and positioned the celestial energy ginseng in front of him.

As soon as he read the Golden Sun Scripture, its vital energy started to flow along a certain path through his body.

Slowly, it revitalized his flesh, muscles, bones, and veins. The light golden vital energy made Austin feel as if his flesh were emitting the golden light of sunsets and sunrises. Its brilliance reflected the life and power it contained.

The light ball inside the elixir field resembled a small sun. A thousand streaks of golden light radiated from the miniature fireball that illuminated the universe, coating the entire elixir field.
