'It's still quite difficult for me to kill an Emperor Realm cultivator with my current level of strength.
I have to master the third stage of the Grand Body Refining Skill if I want my powers to truly improve, '
Austin thought.
He could now kill a cultivator at the Semi-emperor Realm without even using his physical strength.
That was why he was quite unhappy with the current state of his physical strength. He obviously wanted to be stronger; much stronger!
Austin saw that Stacy had stepped off the platform and now stood staring at him with her beautiful eyes.
But he didn't saw Violet. He looked at Stacy questioningly.
"Where's Violet?"
Austin asked.
"Her vital energy shower is not yet over,"
Stacy answered.
"Why does it take her so long to do the vital energy shower?" Austin asked in puzzlement.
He suddenly remembered that the amount of time to do the vital energy shower might vary from person to person.
Austin looked at Stacy inquiringly. "Oh, your present realm is... Why you don't seem to have any breakthrough?
Doesn't the vital energy shower work for you?" He had sensed Stacy's vital energy realm and realized that she was still at the premium stage of Emperor Realm.
His discovery left him surprised and puzzled.
'Didn't the vital energy shower lift her vital energy realm at all?'
"The Wild Herb Valley seems to have been set up by the rules of heaven and earth since it only allowed cultivators at the Emperor Realm or below to enter.
Bitter Sea Realm cultivators and above are absolutely forbidden to enter.
My current strength is at the premium stage of Emperor Realm. If my realm breaks through, I will reach the Bitter Sea Realm.
That is why I can't break through to the Bitter Sea Realm here at the Wild Herb Valley.
However, after the vital energy shower, the quality of my vital energy is much stronger than before, and I can already feel a clear sign of a breakthrough.
I expect my vital energy realm will break through as soon as I leave the Wild Herb Valley,"
Stacy explained patiently.
"Oh, I see."
Austin nodded as he now understood Stacy's situation.
"I wonder when Violet's vital energy shower will be over. Well, let's wait for her," Austin said.
They found a quiet and clean area where they sat and waited for Violet patiently.
While they waited, Austin checked out the herbs in his Space Ring.
There were around 3000 herbs in his Space Ring. He picked them up with Violet from the field in the Secret Valley. The herbs were of superior quality with grades from one to five, and about seven to eight hundred of these were superior herbs of earth attribute.
Austin also had some herbs of earth attribute that he picked from the Wild Herb Valley before. When he summed it all up, he had around a thousand herbs of earth attribute!
Half of them had been eaten when he practiced the second stage of the Grand Body Refining Skill.
Now he was left with only about 500 herbs of earth attribute.
The remaining herbs of earth attribute were not enough for Austin to succeed in cultivating the third stage of the Grand Body Refining Skill.
'I need to have more herbs of earth attribute for me to be able to practice the third stage of the Grand Body Refining Skill.'
Austin smiled helplessly while he sorted out the herbs in his Space Ring.
The method of cultivating the Grand Body Refining Skill was not very difficult. But gathering a lot of the valuable herbs of earth attribute was quite tough.
The superior herbs, especially grade four or five superior herbs, were very expensive in the outside world.
A grade four or grade five superior herb could cause the cultivators to crazily scramble.
However, it was a different case for Austin. When he practiced the second stage of the Grand Body Refining Skill, he had eaten the superior herbs of grade four or five, a few dozens of them at a time.
Cultivating the Grand Body Refining Skill was very costly.
Austin caught a glimpse of Stacy, who was nearby. She was sitting with her legs crossed, and her eyes were closed. While he was observing her, he suddenly thought of something.
