Johnson, the steward of the Sun Sect, was meditating and practicing in a magnificent house in Peace Town.
He had reached the peak of the medium stage of the Earth Realm in vital energy. Of late, he had started feeling strongly that the time to upgrade to the premium stage of the Earth Realm had arrived.
He had originally planned to keep close at home and practice to get to the premium stage of the Earth Realm with every bit of effort in this period.
But before that, Marvin had asked him to kill Austin secretly to settle old scores.
Everyone knew that Marvin was Johnson's nephew. But what nobody knew was that Marvin was born of the adultery between Johnson and his sister-in-law, which meant that Johnson loved him even more dearly.
After receiving Marvin's notice that Austin had left Sun Sect for Peace Town, Johnson rushed to Peace Town, only to find Marvin's rotten corpse.
Knowing for sure that Austin had killed Marvin, Johnson was consumed with hatred for Austin.
He led a group of loyal disciples who he had secretly trained in the Sun Sect in the past to Peace Town, vowing to tear Austin to shreds.
However, for several days in a row, Austin was nowhere to be found in Peace Town.
So now, although Johnson was meditating in the room, his thoughts kept swirling inside his head. Marvin's death stuck in his mind and he decided to find Austin as soon as possible and kill him.
As he meditated, a disciple knocked on the door, shouting anxiously.
Johnson's heart jolted, a hope that they had found Austin's whereabouts taking root within him.
"Come in."
At his words, the door swung open and a disciple walked in.
"Steward, Isaac seems to have found Austin."
"What? Really? They have? Good job! Marvin, you can rest assured. I'll get even with that bastard!
And Austin, I'll beat you hard, and then torture you in the cruelest ways in the world!
You'll bitterly regret killing my dear Marvin!"
A vicious monster growled within Johnson.
"Call everyone to band together and find out where exactly Austin is. Don't let him escape again!". . . The north side of Peace Town.
After Austin left Peace Town, he crossed hills and jungles and waded across a river. Six hours later, he came to a large dense jungle that was secluded and uninhabited.
In the woods, trees put forth their blossoms for his eyes to feast on, wildflowers and grasses were verdant, beautiful and fragrant, making the place poetic and picturesque.
'The environment here is good, ' thought Austin. 'And most importantly, it's very quiet, and no one will disturb me. What an amazing place for me to practice the second stage!'
Showing no interest in the surrounding scenery, Austin began to prepare for his practice.
First, he looked around the forest for water.
A clear stream flowed not far from the forest.
Austin took out the big iron bucket that he had bought in Peace Town. The bucket was about two meters high, so big that it needed three adults to get their arms around it. Ordinary people who had never been trained couldn't lift it, but Austin had reached the premium stage of the Earth Realm and had a thousand pounds of power in his arms. So it was easy for him to carry it.
He fetched half a bucket of water and carried it back to the open space in the woods.
He then took out the elixirs, on which he had spent a million vital energy crystals from the Space Ring and threw them one by one into the bucket.
Once he had poured 20 pounds of vigor tree sap into the bucket as supplements, the elixirs began to react. It was like pouring water into a frying pan; they hissed and smoked instantly.
After a full reaction, the water in the bucket turned red and bubbled. The temperature was a little higher than that of a frying pan.
Seeing this, Austin took out some other elixirs and gulped them down. The elixirs that he had purchased for one million vital energy crystals were divided into two parts, most for soaking, and a small part for taking in directly.
After he had taken the elixirs, the liquid in the bucket turned dark red and bubbled furiously, soon bursting over the rim and overflowing.
A strange, strong fragrance of medicine pervaded the woods, smelling like good wine.
It was time!
During the course of his practice, Austin had repeatedly reviewed the incantations of the second stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula.
Seeing that the bucket had started to bubble and overflow, he knew that he could now jump in and soak in the elixirs.
So he took off his clothes and jumped into the bucket.
