Among all these things, the jade bottles containing elixirs caught Austin's eyes first. There were altogether over a dozen of them. He unplugged a couple of the bottles to see what was inside. However, the levels and qualities of the elixirs collected by Steward Meng were insignificant compared to the ones Austin found in the Cloud Cave, which were left by the Great Sage Cloud.
Even though the elixirs were not up to the mark, it was a great fortune for ordinary cultivators and would evoke envies among many people.
The next objects to catch the attention of both Austin and Violet were the vital energy crystals.
They fixed their eyes on them and wondered why they seemed to be different from the ones they were used to seeing.
The crystals were indeed different from their brightness, their luster, their color, their saturation and the spiritual energy they contained. They were far more improved and better than the run-of-the-mill ones that people got to see on a daily basis.
'Aren't they the refined vital energy crystal people always talk about?' Austin thought.
He picked one of them by his hands and tried to feel the vital energy force it contained. To his surprise, the crystal proved to be hundreds of times higher than that of an ordinary crystal.
Austin drove the force a little and felt it gave out a stream of pure vital energy, which ran into his palm and then into his energy meridians.
As he expected a moment ago, this kind of vital energy crystal could be used to cultivate, and cultivators could directly absorb vital energy from it. In this great world, wonders never cease to happen.
"Violet, it was true!" Austin exclaimed. "Earlier, I thought of it as just a rumor, but today I experienced it myself. This kind of vital energy can be used to cultivate directly. Everything comes to people who wait!
You know what? The vital energy force contained in each crystal is more than you can ever imagine, and I can tell that it is as much as that of two Energy-prevailing Elixirs!" Austin said, his voice trembling with excitement.
He looked and sounded very confident about it.
"Wow, I still can't believe it, Violet! It's real! And this kind of vital energy crystal can be used directly in our process of cultivation. We need to pay more attention to find more of them, and then we will get double the result by doing half the work!"
Shortly afterward, Austin noticed there was a worn-out, black scroll among all other things, and it looked like a round peg in a square hole. It was rolled up and he was unable to see what was on it. It might be the thing he expected the most now.
He took it by his hands but didn't open it immediately. He took a deep breath first to calm down and then untied the string, which was neatly twined on the scroll. The scroll was unfolded slowly in front of Austin's eyes, and it was indeed what he was looking for.
"The original owner of 'this pair of Eagle Wings' was a flaming violet eagle. Later, it was captured by a cultivator, who took its wings in a mysterious way. Then a skilled weapon refiner forged them into what they looked like now with all sorts of rare materials that he could lay his hands on.
That violet eagle was a sixth level flying diabolic beast, and according to the legend, it had the blood of the ancient Phoenix. It could fly at a startling speed and was one of the fastest flying beasts people ever knew. But it was a cruel and cunning creature and it was hard for people to even get close to it. This kind of eagle could only be found in the far south of this land.
Thus, it took lots of hard works to refine these wings, and such opportunities do not come by easily!" Austin read.
Exactly as he had thought, it carried information about the Eagle Wings and described where these wings came from briefly at the beginning. Austin kept reading.
As the details about the wings got unfolded, it left Austin shocked. He swallowed as he internalized the information he read.
A diabolic beast of the sixth level was equivalent to a cultivator of the Mysterious Realm.
What was more, if a cultivator of Mysterious Realm mastered the skill of flying, he or she would be far more difficult to deal with than the ordinary ones.
Evidently, if a cultivator soared high into the clouds, how could his enemies get hold of him on the ground? They could do nothing but watch him fly.
"I really appreciate the cultivator who captured this flying beast!" Austin exclaimed again and again.
