The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 289

After killing five Wolf Generals of the Blood Wolf Team, Austin went back to the hotel.

He took out the rag he had bought with over a million vital energy crystals at the auction and began to examine it carefully.

There seemed to be a map on the rag. Although some of the details on the map had started to fade, they were still distinguishable.

On the map, Austin saw rolling mountains with a river on each side. The highest mountain peak was marked with a circle.

'Does this circle indicate the location of the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire?

But there are dozens of these mountains there, so trying to find the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire by just using this map will be like trying to find a needle in a haystack!' Austin thought in frustration.

He continued to stare at the map for a while before putting it away. 'The only way I can find the Dark Bone Gloomy Fire is if I happen upon it by chance. There's a very slim possibility of me finding it with this map.

It seems that I spent over a million vital energy crystals on it for nothing.' He was very disappointed.

There were about ten days left for Austin to retrieve the medicinal materials for cultivating stage three of the Overlord Body-refining Formula from the elixir shop.

During this period, Austin planned to spend most of his time on elixir refining.

Although he had just begun to study this skill, he was already fascinated by it.

Next, Austin spent about six hours on practicing the Golden Sun Scripture formula.

Vital energy cultivation was the foundation for a cultivator, so Austin took some time to cultivate Golden Sun Scripture every day.

However, ever since he had made a breakthrough by reaching the premium stage of Earth Realm, he felt like he had hit a plateau in vital energy cultivation base.

There was no sign of another breakthrough for him.

Austin knew that his progress in vital energy cultivation had been very fast. It had taken him less than a year to advance from grade two of Energy Gathering Realm to the premium stage of Earth Realm.

No one would believe that he had progressed at such a high speed.

Normally, it would take an ordinary cultivator's whole life to make a breakthrough to the premium stage of Earth Realm. In the Sun Sect, many stewards and cultivators at the premium stage of Earth Realm were already forty or fifty years old, and some of them were even about sixty years old.

Austin knew that a cultivator shouldn't only focus on the speed of his progress, but on the stability of the realm and quality of the vital energy as well.

If he pursued the speed of progress alone and neglected the strengthening of the realm he had reached, his cultivation base would be affected.

His capacity and skill wouldn't be on par with the cultivators who had consolidated the cultivation realms they had made a breakthrough to.

So, Austin wasn't eager to just make a breakthrough. He wanted to keep strengthening his vital energy foundation every day.

After practicing the Golden Sun Scripture for several Circulations of Vital Energy, Austin took out the herbal pot and the medicinal materials he had bought for Energy-promoting Elixir refining. With the quantity of materials he had, he'd be able to make ten Energy-promoting Elixirs.

For cultivators who were under level five of Energy Gathering Realm, Energy-promoting Elixirs could be very useful for their vital energy cultivation.

Moreover, for cultivators at levels one and two of Energy Gathering Realm, taking Energy-promoting Elixirs would help them increase the speed and amount of vital energy absorbed by the meridians in their bodies.

For Energy Gathering Realm cultivators, the most useful elixirs were Energy-promoting Elixirs and Energy-boosting Elixirs.

The former was a little inferior to the latter in medicinal effect.

For cultivators who had the same cultivation base as Austin, elixirs like the Energy-promoting Elixirs weren't that important, but for those who hadn't reached level five of Energy Gathering Realm, Energy-promoting Elixirs were precious.

For outer disciples in the Sun Sect, only those who had higher cultivation base would have the opportunity to get Energy-promoting Elixirs from the sect.

Before being attacked three years ago, Austin had been given such Energy-promoting Elixirs from time to time due to his excellent performance.

Those elixirs had been very helpful for him in cultivation, especially when he hadn't reached level five of Energy Gathering Realm yet.

On the other hand, for grunt disciples, Energy-promoting Elixirs were extremely precious but they never had the opportunity to see them, let alone use them.

Normally, an Energy-boosting Elixir cost five to six hundred vital energy crystals while an Energy-promoting Elixir cost three to four hundred vital energy crystals.

This time, Austin decided to refine Energy-promoting Elixirs.

As Energy-promoting Elixirs were common and popular, the formula to make them could be found in Elixir Foundation.

After setting the herbal pot down, Austin laid down the medicinal materials for refining ten Energy-promoting Elixirs next to the pot.

He sat in front of them with his legs crossed and then extended his palm. Soon, the golden flame in his belly traveled along his arm to his palm.

With a crack, it appeared in his palm. As it swayed, it gave off extremely high heat, causing the temperature in the room to immediately increase by several degrees.

The tiny flame contained a raw and menacing vital energy force that made it seem like it was a small wild beast that was going to fight tooth and nail.

Austin put his hand under the fire intake port and summoned his vital energy force. Golden flames immediately rose and transformed into different shapes.

Watching the flame clusters, Austin smiled with satisfaction. After practicing for a while, he had a lot more control over the fire. He didn't know how he had managed to master the skill so easily. Maybe he was talented in controlling the fire in the herbal pot.
