Austin was too exhausted that he just sank onto the ground after extracting the essence from the muscle-generating herbs. He was doing his first trial at refining a pill and he never expected it to be this consuming. Thus, he went for a short break.
He felt that he had consumed nearly one-third of his vital energy. Thus, he got on his feet and sighed, "Who could have thought that pill-refining is such an energy-consuming work?"
Austin sat down with his legs crossed. He tried to regain his focus and get rid of all distracting thoughts. His eyes were fixed on his nose, his nose connecting to his heart. Then with full concentration, he started the Golden Sun Scripture formula.
He dictated the vital energy within his body to flow in the way he wanted. Surprisingly, he noticed something odd happening. Although the pill-refining process consumed much of his energy earlier, while he was cultivating it now, the speed of how his body absorbed the vital energy around him had become unusually faster. Moreover, he could feel how easier it was for him to control the vital energy running in his body. It seemed that all his problems with cultivating his energy had disappeared.
That was when it dawned to him. Refining a pill required him to constantly transport his vital energy into the herbal pot to sustain the flames within it. Thus, it became a good practice for him to improve his ability in controlling the flow of his vital energy.
After an hour of cultivation in meditation, Austin finally recovered his vital energy which had been consumed in the process of refining the muscle-generating herbs.
Furthermore, he could also feel how stronger his vital energy had become. It was needless to say that pill-refining was indeed a conductive process to vital energy cultivation.
If so, then he would like to refine more pills in his free time. It would be a nice way to improve his vital energy cultivation. It would enable him to achieve two things at one stroke.
Austin opened his eyes as soon as he was fully regained. He couldn't feel the numbness and limpness of his muscles anymore. He moved his neck and it created a cracking sound. That made him sigh with relief.
"Fine then. I'll continue refining the pill and won't give up halfway in the process. I must finish it and successfully make the muscle-generating powder," muttered Austin.
He wasn't the type of man who left his work undone. He would do everything without letting go and stick to it until the end.
Thus, he came to the herbal pot again and continued refining the other herbs in the formula.
He managed to do the next processes with ease since he had already learned the lessons from his last try of doing this. After burning eight vigor-generating fruits, ten blood-nourishing flowers, and five five-tail herbs,. . .
Austin finally got the substance that had the healing effects from the materials.
What he extracted from the vigor-generating fruits was made up of small black particles. This substance could remove stasis in the bloodstream and invigorate the blood circulation. Oftentimes, experienced warriors pulverized the vigor-generating fruits and used them to relieve their pains from injuries. It had been a necessity, especially in cases when there was no pill available.
