Austin grilled the little monkey, trying to get as much information as possible.
"Honest! I don't know anything else! I just got it a month ago, and I've been hunted ever since, which hasn't left me much time to study it!"
replied the little monkey, who was on the verge of crying.
"Oh really?" challenged Austin as he rolled his eyes doubtfully.
"Yes, really! I swear! Solemnly, with a Heavenly Vow! On this, the vital energy stone in your body, I have told you everything I know," pledged the monkey hurriedly.
Every cultivator was afraid to break a Heavenly Vow; if they did, by the rules of God, they would be punished.
"Well, alright. Since you've given your vow, I believe you. But, all the same, you're going to be killed by me because I've made your life so miserable, and you must harbor a deep hatred for me. If I don't kill you now, I think you will be a threat to me in the future! I'm sorry!"
commented Austin as a sly smirk appeared on his face.
Using his mind, his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle wasn't dormant and darted at the little monkey's spiritual soul.
"No, no! I don't hate you! I swear!" pleaded the monkey anxiously.
"Don't kill me! Please!" he whimpered as he watched the Flying Needle headed at him, helplessly.
As the little monkey faced his impending death, his reaction was like anyone else's, and it didn't matter how powerful he was.
Austin was unmoved by the monkey's pleading.
A moment later, the little monkey let out a loud roar as its spiritual soul was ripped to pieces within the Soul Sea of Austin. Then, the pieces became numerous spots of little red lights.
Some of the spiritual soul red lights disappeared immediately, while others were absorbed by Austin's Soul Sea.
After absorbing the pieces, Austin was surprised that he felt his spiritual sense power was enhanced quite a bit.
'Apparently, the red light transformed by the little monkey's spiritual soul improves the effects of my spiritual sense power.
My spiritual sense range was about two hundred meters, and now, it feels as though its range is beyond that.'
To determine the precise range, Austin released his Spiritual Sense Flying Needle.
'Wow, over four hundred meters!
That doubled my range and enhanced my power.
It seems that the harvest was excellent from my battle with the little monkey's spiritual soul.
Recently, the base cultivation level of my vital energy has grown so much!
But, my spiritual sense power hasn't progressed all that much. Since spiritual sense is a less common power, and more difficult to practice.
Normally, the power of spiritual sense will gradually enhance, but, only with continual improvement of the vital energy's cultivation levels.
During my battle with the little monkey's spiritual soul, I survived, but, I was in great danger, and my spiritual sense doubled, ' thought Austin as his mind glanced over every detail to understand what was happening.
Satisfied with the results, Austin smiled smugly.
'I wonder if the little monkey was right. Could the vital energy stone be that useful?'
As he considered the idea, Austin turned his attention to the vital energy stone stored in his elixir field.
'Does it really store vital energy? And draw from it whenever it's needed?' wondered Austin curiously.
Austin knew the force of the suction as his vital energy was absorbed and that, supposedly, it was triggered by the little monkey.
So, he held a great fear of the vital energy stone, like it was as dangerous and venomous as a snake or scorpion.
He concentrated, by focusing on shifting a bit of vital energy to the vital energy stone in his elixir field.
It was sucked in as soon as the vital energy touched the energy stone.
At the same time, Austin controlled his mind, and attempted to withdraw some of the vital energy from the stone.
Sure enough, Austin was able to retrieve the vital energy that was sucked in.
'Yes! It does store vital energy along with being able to pull from it!' Austin thought excitedly!
Austin was ecstatic at his discovery, 'This is a remarkable treasure!
As long as I keep enough vital energy stored, I won't have to worry about exhausting my vital energy when I battle others in future.
And, the piece of vital energy stone stored as much vital energy as though I had seven goblin fruits, and that energy is at my disposal any time I need it!
