In high spirits, 35 outer disciples stood in the courtyard, staring hopefully at Austin.
Austin was the most popular and the most prominent man among the outer disciples recently. Rumor had it that he would reclaim the title of "No. 1 outer disciple."
People always admired the strong and powerful. Being around Austin had them in total awe and adoration.
Meanwhile, for Austin, seeing his followers eager to serve him got his adrenaline pumping.
He delivered a speech before all of them, after they had declared their loyalty to him. He urged them to focus on cultivating their vital energy, and moreover, to always stay together. Austin believed that unity meant strength, and focusing more on the quality of his followers rather than the quantity was more crucial to him. This way, he would be able to focus on helping them cultivate their skills and strengths.
On that day too, he took out a large number of vital energy crystals, and gave each of them 1, 000, making him spend 35, 000 vital energy crystals in total.
He had more than 300, 000 vital energy crystals in his Space Ring, and offering 35, 000 wouldn't hurt his fortune.
But to the outer disciples, it was already a large sum of money—considering their current status and level.
Everyone was thrilled to receive 1, 000 vital energy crystals, thankful that they followed the right leader.
Austin, however, accepted them as his followers on the spur of the moment. It was a quick judgment on his part. He was not ready to spend most of his time with them, as he was used to only having Evan around and his pet, Violet.
So he chose two of the most intelligent and capable outer disciples and had them manage the team on his behalf.
The two chosen team leaders were Donald Lei and Curtis Zhang. They were at level 6 of Energy Gathering Realm and both had excellent communication skills too.
Austin asked Donald and Curtis to stay while he dismissed the others. He gave each of them an extra 1, 000 vital energy crystals as a reward and urged them to discipline the team for him. . . . .
After he was done, Austin went back to his cultivation room and began to practice Golden Sun Scripture.
He and Mindy would set off to the Mysterious Ancient Well tomorrow. According to her, it was a dangerous place, and as such, he needed to be fully prepared.
Early the next morning, when Austin arrived at the mountain pass of Sun Sect, Mindy was already there waiting for him. He could tell that Mindy attached great importance to the pure femininity blossom.
He felt a little embarrassed to have a lady waiting for him.
When she saw Austin, Mindy gave him a sweet and dainty smile, and soon after, they began to start their journey.
Their destination was fifty miles away from Sun Sect—neither too near nor too far. The twin blossoms would blossom in five days, and Mindy and Austin just had plenty of time before that.
Before heading south, they stopped at Peace Town to buy two horses and daily necessities for their travel.
Just as they left Peace Town, more than ten bulky men appeared out of nowhere and followed them quietly.
The leader of the men wore a blood red cloak designed with a gigantic wolf growling at the sky.
Experienced cultivators would recognize the mark at first glance. This man must be a leader of the Blood Wolf Team. After all, not every member could wear the cloak when they carried out a mission.
"Tell our men to keep an eye on that brat. He may have something to do with the death of our five brothers. We must not let him go!"
the leader demanded in a cold voice. . . . .
On their way to the valley, Austin and Mindy hardly spoke while their horses raced forward. She led the way, while he followed after her.
After a day of traveling, they found a place near a river where they stopped to spend the night.
They made a campfire and ate the food they had bought in Peace Town.
After finishing their dinner, Austin set up a tent for Mindy, and the lady immediately went to sleep. She must have been exhausted for the day.
Austin sat on the ground with his legs crossed and began to cultivate the Golden Sun Scripture.
Although Mindy hadn't spent much time with Austin, she knew he was a reliable man. She trusted him enough and fell asleep immediately. She understood that he would not take advantage of her. . . .
As Austin began his cultivation, the vital energy in the air swarmed around him at high speed.
He had been cultivating Golden Sun Scripture for many days, and he found that when it began to operate, he would absorb so much positive vital energy in the atmosphere and a slight amount of negative vital energy.
He guessed it might be because Golden Sun Scripture was a positive vital energy refining formula.
The light sphere in his elixir field was about the size of a fist. It glowed like burnished gold, making his entire elixir field bright and warm. Austin felt like he had endless energy.
He planned to improve himself, even more, to make him stronger and more powerful. He was settled to refine his vital energy by cultivating Golden Sun Scripture and shape his body by cultivating Overlord Body-refining Formula.
