Austin continued to stuff elixirs into his mouth from time to time as he sat in silence.
Before heading for the Middle World Waters, he refined and purchased many healing elixirs so that he would be ready for anything that might come his way.
'I prepared these pills in case of emergency, but I really didn't expect that I would actually need any of them, ' he thought, a wry smile on his lips.
Cultivators usually avoided consuming a lot of herbs or elixirs at the same time as it was not good for their health.
Herbs and refined pills all contained enormous spiritual energy and power.
If one absorbed too much spiritual energy and power at any given point, it was almost certain that he or she would get seriously damaged. The body could only take a certain level of power.
But Austin's case was different.
Since he was specialized in body refining, he possessed an incredibly strong physical power. Ordinary cultivators couldn't match him when it came to body's toughness, tenacity, anti-strike force, and self-recovery.
This gave Austin the ability to take in a great number of elixirs and pills
without being overwhelmed by their immense power.
With eyes closed, Austin concentrated to feel his body and how it was doing.
After consuming a large amount of elixirs ranging from grade five to grade seven, he felt hot streams flowing through all the veins inside his body.
The wounds that he had sustained were all slowly healing, all thanks to the effects of everything he had consumed.
While he was downing all the needed pills and elixirs, he maneuvered the golden ball in his elixir field to leave his body. After a few moments of concentration, it got out and floated in front of him.
The ball whirled and glowed for a few moments before the spiritual energy of the superior vital energy crystals around him entered it.
With that, Austin felt like he was being enveloped by a potent and powerful spiritual energy.
This made him incredibly comfortable and relaxed.
Slowly, he began feeling that
his recovery speed had significantly sped up.
Half a day already passed when
he once again reached out for his drug bottles.
However, this time, he found every single one of them to be empty.
It was only when he looked down at the bottles nearby did he realize that he had used up all his healing elixirs and pills.
"Shit. Looks like I should have prepared more pills and elixirs.
I used them up all in one go!" he muttered to himself, annoyed at his lack of anticipation.
He then examined his current condition.
"Fortunately most of my internal wounds have been healed," he said with a relief.
After that, he started to check the wall made of superior vital energy crystals.
Almost half of the superior vital energy crystals had become entirely useless after the vital energy had been absorbed by Austin.
Seeing that, he ordered the floating golden ball to go back to his elixir field.
...
After making sure that his condition permitted him to do intensive cultivation, Austin began to practice the Golden Sun Scripture once again.
Using vital energy to nourish the physical body was also a healing method.
Cultivators usually did that to heal themselves any time they got hurt.
Within a few hours, Austin was able to practice several circles of the Golden Sun Scripture.
As the Fire Stela in his elixir field started to refine the five dragons around it, the pure essences of the elixirs that had been extracted from them started coursing through his body.
In no time, the operation of the Golden Sun Scripture had quickened.
And only a few moments later, the golden ball inside his elixir field started to move in a set way.
It kept moving in an oval course in his elixir field
and as it did that, it was continually giving off golden light that was only getting more and more dazzling.
Soon enough, it had started looking like the sun—scorching and ready to burn everything it touched.
It also illuminated Austin's elixir field.
In the next few moments, all the vital energies and the essences extracted from the five dragons entered the golden ball.
As this process was not something that Austin could control, he started feeling powerless over how the golden ball was behaving.
Within a few seconds, it became clear to him that the golden ball was orbiting quicker than he had anticipated.
