Even if his opponent was at the medium stage or the premium stage of Earth Realm, he might sustain injuries from their strikes but he definitely wouldn't die.
Now that he'd considered all this, Austin decided that mastering the third stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula would be the best move for him now as his cultivation was at the Earth Realm and could be really helpful when he fought against a cultivator at the same level.
'If I can't be killed by anyone, I could concentrate a lot more on attacking them!' Austin realized.
He was lost in thought with the space ring still in hand.
Finally, he concluded that the third stage would be his ultimate trump card.
In his eyes, the second stage was now like something that was unappetizing and yet not bad enough to throw away.
Okay!
In the end, Austin made up his mind that he would learn the third stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula since he had already started to learn the second stage.
He had more than enough money anyway.
After killing the Steward Meng sent by the Medicine Sect, Austin had obtained about four million vital energy crystals from his space ring.
Buying all the materials needed to learn the third stage would only cost him about three million vital energy crystals.
"Sir, is there anything wrong with the goods?" the shopkeeper asked worriedly, seeing Austin standing there hesitantly after getting the space ring with the materials worth one million vital energy crystals.
He thought that there was a problem with the materials he had provided.
"Oh, no. The materials are good. They are exactly what I need.
But I have another order, a much greater one. I want to know whether you can do it or not," Austin replied.
He'd made up his mind to buy the materials from the same shop since he was so satisfied with the shopkeeper.
"Oh? A greater order?"
The shopkeeper's face lit up. He felt excited since this gave him another great chance to earn money.
"Let's do it this way. Could you give me a pen and a piece of paper? I will write down what I need and show it to you. You can see if you can get these materials for me."
The shopkeeper rummaged around his office for a while before handing a pen, a blank sheet of paper, and some ink to Austin.
Austin listed down all the herbs and pills that he would need to practice the third stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula.
When the shopkeeper took the paper from him and read it, he was shocked. He inhaled deeply, trying to calm himself down.
But this order was just too much.
It took him a while to calm down after he finished reading it.
Then, he gave Austin a deep gaze.
"Sir, the materials you've listed will cost about four million vital energy crystals."
Austin nodded, a little impressed.
Since it had taken the shopkeeper this much time to come up with a correct estimate, he knew that the shopkeeper was really knowledgeable about these materials.
"Yes, you're right. But what I care about is whether you can accept my order or not," Austin said with great expectation in his eyes.
The shopkeeper did not reply to him at once. Instead, he sat down, took the cup before him, and sipped at the tea, contemplating for a while.
