Being calm and composed in the practicing room, without a worry in the world, Austin was sitting crossed legged on the floor. He seemed to be practicing cultivation since there were three earth spirit fruits and two Energy-boosting Elixirs in front of him.
With the Energy Gathering Array working at full pelt, the practicing room was filled with vital energy, and the air seemed dense with it, much more than any surrounding area.
For the last two days and nights, he had been putting all of his efforts into the Golden Sun Scripture.
The first time he had cultivated the method, a small light ball had appeared in his belly. Now, after about two days, it had grown into a ball about half the size of a walnut and was emitting incessant bright light. Like a small sun, it floated and nourished everything under its light.
Under the light, Austin's belly, bones, muscles and blood vessels had turned a bright, beautiful shade of gold, and looked as if they were filled with an endless supply of vigorous life energy and power.
The energy in the surrounding air seemed to be affected too, and it was being pulled mysteriously into his body.
With the practicing of the Golden Sun Scripture, Austin became extremely energetic. The golden light emitted from the light ball penetrated his bones, flesh and blood vessels and there was a shine that rose from inside to outside of his body.
If one were to witness Austin at this moment, he would be immediately reminded of a mighty king. That was how graceful and powerful Austin looked under the shine.
To Austin's surprise, he suddenly felt that the light ball inside him was pushing to come out of his body, as if a child had been attracted by delicious candies and was about to catch them.
'Is it attracted by...'
A bold idea struck him and he decided to try it out.
He summoned the light ball and, after receiving his affirmative, it shook lightly before flying out of his body. It hovered around the room and stopped above the place where the fruits and elixirs were laid out. For a while, it did nothing, then it began!
Austin was shocked when he saw under the golden light, the essences were being extracted from the earth spirit fruits and the Energy-boosting Elixirs
and rose slowly, emitting brilliant light, before they were absorbed by the light ball.
The earth spirit fruits shrunk quickly and in a very short moment, there was nothing but three rotten and wrinkled fruit skins left.
Meanwhile, the Energy-boosting Elixirs were getting smaller and smaller until they disappeared completely.
After absorbing the essence of the earth spirit fruits and the Energy-boosting Elixirs, the light ball, as if pacified with its appetite, immediately flew back into Austin's body and hung itself in his belly.
Austin had never expected that the light ball would have absorbed the vital energy essence itself.
It had doubled in volume now and had grown into the size of a complete walnut.
After it had settled down in Austin's body, it released a steam of pure and warm energy which spread throughout him and refreshed him to a new extent.
