At a hidden valley over twenty miles away from the Peace Town, A large metal barrel was lying on the ground. Fire burnt vehemently beneath it as the liquid within the barrel bubbled and boiled away. The strong herbal scent spread far away and attracted bees and butterflies. They flew in swarms to the valley and danced around the barrel.
Beside the barrel stood a handsome young man who was gazing intently at the boiling liquid medicine inside.
"Okay, it's the right time to start."
The man who stood beside the metal barrel was none other than Austin.
"Violet, you have to keep guard. Make sure no one walks in to interrupt me," Austin told Violet through his mind power. It was extremely important for him to remain undisturbed.
Austin had learned a lesson from his last experience. To prevent the same thing from happening again, Austin summoned Violet and told her to be vigilant.
Fortunately, the last time when the inner disciples found him, he had already successfully completed the cultivation of the stage two of the Overlord Body-refining Formula. But if they had arrived in the middle of his cultivation, he would have been in great trouble.
Violet jumped out from the Illusion Bead after Austin's order. She walked some distance away from the metal barrel to guard against any intruders.
Seeing that everything was in place and he was protected well, Austin immediately took all his clothes off and jumped into the metal barrel. Then he got into the posture required for cultivating the third stage of the Overlord Body-refining Formula.
As soon as he immersed himself in the liquid medicine, he felt comfortable and relaxed. It was as if a spring breeze stroked his face while he was bathing in sunshine. He closed his eyes and imagined the cool breeze softened his skin while the warm sun rays made him feel joyous inside. He felt indescribable comfort and was overwhelmed with the great bliss he was experiencing.
However, at a certain point, the liquid medicine began swirling vigorously and soon a powerful vortex was formed. The magical power of the medicine flocked together from various directions, plunging into Austin's body. It soon got into Austin's pores, skins, bones and viscera. It was as if the medicine was forcefully entering into every inch of Austin's body.
The liquid medicine in the metal barrel rapidly swirled around Austin. He felt trapped inside. The force of the medicine was one like a whirlpool.
Austin then found that the efficacy of the liquid medicine in the Overlord Body-refining Formula arriving aggressively, rushing inside of him with a force greater than he ever felt, as he advanced to a higher stage of the formula.
The efficacy of the liquid medicine in stage three was ten times more powerful than that in the first or the second stage.
At that moment, Austin lost control over his body and couldn't keep a check on absorbing the medicinal power. His brain had let gone of trying to fight back against the liquid medicine's irresistible force.
The endless medicinal power wildly surged towards his body and penetrated his every pore and cell.
In an instant, Austin felt great pain. He felt like he was being tortured. The medicinal power entered his body endlessly without giving him a respite. He was drowning in the pain and desperately wanted to get out.
He felt that he was about be torn apart by the unbearable pain. His soul was on the verge of a collapse.
