In an instant, Austin started regarding the formula with special respect instead of exasperation.
But thinking of the cost it would incur, he was a bit dejected too.
The fifth level would have cost 10 million vital energy crystals, which was an astronomical figure for him. Perhaps only Theon had that kind of money and he wasn't sure about!
Thinking about this, his eyes landed and stopped on the big iron bucket sitting and humming quietly in the open space of the forest. The medicinal liquid in it was boiling softly.
It was equivalent to 500, 000 vital energy crystals which would have bled him dry!
After thinking for a while, Austin finally made the decision to start from the first level.
It was a great chance to get the medicine liquid after all.
If he really was able to exert a 1, 000 pounds of force in a single punch, his fighting capacity would have increased tremendously.
Once he had decided, he started the cultivation method without hesitation. Since there were two small buckets of vigor tree's sap besides the big iron bucket, he mixed them together.
Suddenly, a loud noise burst out from the giant iron bucket and the liquid started bubbling. Its vapor turned green now, as if he was boiling stew.
After waiting for a while, the vigor tree's sap and the medicine liquid finally mixed together. The green vapor slowly turned a hot shade of bright red. The luster and the clouds of steam that it emanated were flowing around and warning of its high temperature.
'I'm not going to turn into a boiled fish, right?'
Looking at the bubbling liquid, Austin thought worriedly.
Cautiously, he tried touching the liquid with just one finger.
Amazing!
Contrary to its appearance and boiling steam, it didn't feel hot at all.
Austin was surprised. He took off all his clothes and jumped into the giant iron bucket immediately.
It was like being immersed in a spring of water at just the right level of warmth and comfort. It made him forget almost everything in this world and focus only on the formula.
Austin couldn't help stretching himself.
Unexpectedly, although the cultivation was extravagant, it looked like the process itself was quite comfortable for the cultivator—It was almost as if enjoying a hot bath on a cold day in a warm, natural spring.
He sat cross-legged in the iron bucket and his hands, initially clenched into his fists. The left fist laid gently on his abdomen while the right one rested on his left one.
This was exactly the posture of the first stage of the Overlord Body-Refining Formula.
As soon as he sat down in the posture the slip had described, Austin felt that the medicinal liquid was beginning to penetrate deep into his skin.
He immediately used his consciousness to guide its flow into several joints of his skeleton as he required. The entire bone structure would have been reinforced anyway.
Suddenly, with no warning, severe pain burst from his joints, like a fierce beast had spread directly into every inch of the body!
