Chapter 178 Mindy Asks For Help (Part One)
After grasping level one sword intent, Austin stopped practicing the Illusory Swordsmanship.
By practicing it, he mainly achieved two important things.
First, when he used this swordsmanship, he could shoot about fifteen beams of sword radiance. Each
sword radiance required some vital energy.
Since Austin had mastered the Golden Sun Scripture, the vital energy in his body was much stronger
than that of the cultivators on the same level. Furthermore, the vital energy stone in his elixir field
stored huge amounts of vital energy which came from the Celestial Energy Ginseng.
Now he had enough vital energy to shoot fifteen streaks of sword light. However, in addition to vital
energy, the cultivation was also based on the cultivator''s degree of understanding and application of it.
Hence, despite the fact that Austin could only shoot fifteen beams of sword light, the progress he had
made was already considered remarkable.
After all, he had just begun practicing this swordsmanship skill several days ago.
The level one sword intent was the second achievement he gained from the swordsmanship.
Sword intent was not based on the cultivator''s vital energy or his martial arts skill level. It totally
depended on the cultivator''s talent. Only if he was very gifted could he understand the intent of the
martial arts skill, so it was impossible to grasp the sword intent by hard practice alone.
After summarizing what he had learned in the past few days, Austin suddenly heard Evan and Herbert
shout outside.
That was when he realized that he had been cultivating for about four days straight already, without
even eating or drinking.
Even so, he was delighted with the improvement he had achieved in the past few days.
He cleared his throat and said, "Come on in!"
Evan then immediately walked in the room, but Herbert was a little hesitant. He had only taken two
steps when he suddenly stopped.
"Tin, are you sure we cane in? Is there no danger in the room?" Herbert asked.
Austin rolled his eyes.
Herbert cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment, and then eventually followed suit into the room.
"Tin, what kind of swordsmanship is you exactly practicing? It''s so powerful! Just look at my head. You
have shaved off a piece of my scalp! If I was unable to shrink my head in time, your sword would have
sliced past my neck."

Recalling that moment, Herbert couldn''t help but shiver with fear.
Austin said with a smile, "It''s your fault. How could you break in when a cultivator was practicing! Don''t
forget this lesson and never make the same mistake again."
Herbert didn''t protest, what Austin said was the truth. It was extremely dangerous for a cultivator to be
disturbed when he was in the middle of practice. It might slow down his cultivation progress or, worse,
disrupt his concentration which could cause a deviation of the energy flow in his body.
Fortunately, what Austin had been practicing was swordsmanship and not vital energy refining form
when Evan and Herbert broke in. Otherwise, his practicing progress would have been affected.
.. .. ..
"Sorry, Tin! We got too excited and totally forgot all about it."
Evan was clear about the severe consequence too. Seeing how serious Austin looked when he spoke,
he realized that he and Herbert had been too rash.
"Well, forget it.
But what made you so excited?"
Pride and joy were written all over the faces of Evan and Herbert, which piqued Austin''s interest.
"Tin, look! Marvin gave these to me."
Evan filled with excitement, took out a cloth bag and poured out its contents on a stone table in the
yard. A pile of shiny vital energy crystals and three pills appeared before them.
They were vital energy crystals, 10, 000 in total, and three Energy-boosting Elixirs.
Seeing these, Austin smiled slightly.
Austin had taught Marvin a lesson after he bullied Evan, and had asked him topensate Evan.
Marvin then promised to give Evan ten thousand vital energy crystals and three Energy-boosting
Elixirs.
Austin never expected that Marvin would keep his word, which was why he was a little surprised when
he saw the contents of the cloth bag.
However, he realized that Marvin couldn''t have possibly done this out of generosity. Since Marvin had
made the promise in front of his outer disciples, not keeping it would be shameful.
Knowing Marvin''s personality, if there were no bystanders when he made the promise after being
defeated, he surely wouldn''t have kept it.
"Then you should ept these stuffs. They served as Marvin''spensation for bullying you. You
should make good use of them to improve your cultivation base level.
Remember, I can only protect you for as long as I can, but I can''t protect you forever, so improving your
skills and power should be your number one priority," Austin said, making use of this opportunity to
encourage and push Evan to practice harder.
Evan cheered up and answered confidently, "Tin, you are my role model. I will do my best and give it
my all in practicing just like you. Trust me, I won''t be a burden anymore in the future."
Hearing that, Austin smiled with satisfaction. . . . .
"Great! Tin, your priceless advice is really helpful! I seem to be in the midst of spiritual enlightenment.
Wow, you are really incredible!"
Herbert suddenly started to tter Austin. He longingly gazed at the vital energy crystals.
Austin knew Herbert''s character, so he was aware of what thetter was thinking. He inwardlyughed,
but didn''t say anything.
Herbert cleared his throat and continued, "Tin, what you said inspired me so much! From today
onward, I promise to practice harder in order to achieve a higher cultivation level as soon as possible. I
promise I won''t hold you back in the future."
Herbert patted his chest while speaking, as if his practice was in order to impress Austin.
"Good! I hope you manage a breakthrough and reach a higher level soon."
Austinughed crazily in the inside, but he continued to y dumb and didn''t say anything Herbert
expected to hear.
Seeing Austin hadn''t understood his intentions yet, Herbert awkwardly cleared his throat again.
"Tin, as you may well know that although I''m nning to practice cultivation in order to reach a higher
level, I sadly cannot afford my meals.
If you don''t believe me, you can ask Evan. I had to borrow money from him in order to pay for my
meals these days.
Speaking of which, I really appreciate Evan''s generous help!"
Evan was an honest man, plus he had been getting well with Herbert recently, so he immediately
nodded in order to back up Herbert''s ims.
