The Supreme God of Martial Arts novel Chapter 671

Austin rented a room in a manor as temporary accommodation in the Dragon City.

This manor was built in a secluded and quiet place. Austin didn't want to attract any unnecessary attention in this strange land. Hence, he had decided to live in this house despite its high rent.

The middle-aged servant led Austin to his room and then turned around to leave. His mannerisms were condescending. He looked down upon every cultivator from remote and weak empires. That was why he wasn't keen on talking to Austin.

Luckily, that was just what Austin wanted. He hoped that this servant would never come and bother him till he left the manor.

The environment inside the manor was beautiful and attractive. Exotic flowers and rare herbs could be seen everywhere, all of which spread their fragrance around. There was a small lake at the center of the manor. The extremely clean water in it reflected the blue sky and white clouds above clearly.

Sitting by the lakeside, Austin enjoyed the beautiful sight around the place: vines twined around trees, while flowers flourished in light breeze. Austin felt refreshed and his mood was instantly lightened.

"What a wonderful place! Looks like I did make a good choice,"

Austin whispered in awe. Although he had spent a large amount of vital energy crystals on this accommodation, after looking at the beauty around him, he felt it was well worth.

A good-looking female servant delivered a tray of delicious dinner to Austin when twilight had descended.

The night gradually wore on after he finished dinner.

A full moon slowly appeared from behind nearby mountains, casting a soft light in all the directions. The moonlight gently caressed the entire manor and gave it an aura of mysterious elegance. The sounds of streaming water and chirping insects reached Austin's ears, and the stillness of the night air accentuated their sound. Everything was too beautiful to be described.

Austin sat quietly in a lotus position inside his room and practiced the Golden Sun Scripture as usual.

Austin had always practiced the Scripture diligently. This had helped him make significant leaps in improving his martial arts refinement.

After reaching the medium stage of Sky Realm, Austin still continued practicing the Golden Sun Scripture everyday, yet there was no sign that he would soon get any further improvement in his vital energy cultivation.

Nevertheless, he understood that this could not be rushed. During the past year, he had improved drastically from level two of the Energy Gathering Realm to the present medium stage of the Sky Realm. Such a rapid upgradation was so incredible that few in this world could repeat his miracle.

Now that he had gone through such a smooth process, Austin did not rush to attain a higher level in his vital energy cultivation. Instead, he decided to slow down a bit and consolidate his cultivation base he had acquired.

Anyway, it was well known to any cultivator that a forced improvement would only exert a bad influence on any future improvement.

On the other hand, Austin realized that it was a great opportunity for him to improve his bodily refinement.

During his adventure in the Holy Tomb of the Veritable Demon Sect, Austin had consumed a Magical Beast Elixir and a drop of gold blood which he had discovered purely by luck. He had managed to absorb half of the power contained in that gold blood, which endowed him with a tremendous power strong enough to lift things of 360, 000 pounds in weight.

Moreover, he could still capitalize on his good fortune as the effect of the Magical Beast Elixir could last for a full month.

That was to say, he could improve his bodily refinement to a large extent by consuming more blood essence from demonic beasts and diabolic beasts in the following month.

It was not easy to find a valuable treasure like the Magical Beast Elixir that could strengthen their bodies so quickly. Austin obviously didn't want to waste this rare opportunity.

He thought for a while and decided to rest for several days in the Dragon City. After that, he planned to inquire about the places where demonic beasts and diabolic beasts were abundant. By killing those beasts, he would be able to continue with his practice of the Beast Energy-extracting Skill.

The skill required him to kill those beasts which were above eighth level and that was equivalent to human cultivators at the Sky Realm.

Austin had come to the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom with the task of finding Ariadne from the Magic Hand Sect. He wanted to convey Angus's last words to his daughter.

Now that he had consumed the Magical Beast Elixir, Austin decided to concentrate on practicing the Beast Energy-extracting Skill in the first month. After all, this was a chance that he might not get again.

After making full use of the Magical Beast Elixir, he would finally go and find Ariadne of the Magic Hand Sect.

As he planned for his movements during the following month, Austin wondered how much force he would be able to acquire by practicing the Beast Energy-extracting Skill.

He was excited for the upcoming journey and looked forward to it.

Austin left the manor after resting for two days. He walked along the streets in the Dragon City and tried to gather as much information as possible.

The weather was cool and pleasant, and the streets were packed with pedestrians and endless streams of horses and carriages. Austin slowly made his way through the crowd and sighed in resignation with the hustle and bustle of this foreign city.

He strolled down different streets and lanes to get familiar with the city. After drawing a general map in his mind, he decided to inquire about the possible areas where demonic beasts and diabolic beast could be found.

Lost in thought about his strategy, Austin found himself in a large square that looked like a recruitment area.

Many cultivators gathered at this place in search of some luck, while some forces competed with each other to recruit new members.

Most of the cultivators talked loudly in groups as they glanced through the hospitality tents of those forces. The recruiters arranged desks under their tents and hung up their brands. Their staff bawled loudly to attract attention of the cultivators passing by. The busy square was an ensemble of all kinds of noises.
