Chapter 243 Peculiar Cloud Mansion
Present in the garden were five artists of Mysterious Realm known for their great expertise. They were
fighting with great intensity and vigor.
The colossal horn on the head of the three-eyed scarlet bull had the potential of great havoc and great
destruction. Added to that was the eye in the middle. It opened once in a while to scatter an emission of
light that they found hard to ignore.
Furthermore, the radiant ck fur of the giant creature was tremendously strong and hard. It was
almost impossible to puncture. Even though the Steward shattered the herbal pot on the animal with
immense might for a number of times it did not affect the bull. It simply took a few steps back and came
back with new vigor as if nothing happened.
This is the reason why diabolic beasts like this one were generally stronger than mere human beings
when they belonged to the same level. Diabolic beasts are much stronger and firm than humans
because their bodies are not so vulnerable. Such beasts could easily shirk of blows often deadly for
humans.
Normally when a human got hurt fighting such an indomitable creature of such high level chances are
he would sustain serious injuries. In worse cases the man could sumb to death.
Surprisingly, even after deathly attacks a diabolic beast may still stand straight and strong ready to face
more.
Evidently it was not a cakewalk for the three martial arts from the Medicine Sect who wanted to
massacre these two invincible beasts in limited period of time.
On the other hand the beast would have a tough time killing these three master martial artists.
The main reason was because of the same cultivation base. Whilst the three martial artists had
martial arts. Skillfully these three cultivators kept on performing versatile and esoteric movements in
order to make it difficult for the creature to fight back.
Besides, the three martial artists of Mysterious Realm consumed many pills that helped them to restore
their vitality rapidly during such encounters.
Previously about forty to fifty disciples of the Medicine Sect were severely injured and even suffered
some casualties after the rounds of the encounters with such diabolic creatures. The lucky ones who
managed to get out alive were forced to go to the Front Hall. It was absolutely difficult for them to go
any further.
Therefore, as per the situation only Austin and Violet were left to search for the treasure.
After a while of searching Austin and Violet found themselves standing in front of arge manor. But
from the look of it they could figure out that this was not the main building. The board above the
building read " Peculiar Cloud Mansion".
"Was this the abode of Great Sage Cloud?", Austin thought to himself.
Austin suggested to Violet, "Violet, I think we should look inside."
The moment he set his foot inside the mansion he realized that this was indeed the ce where Great
Sage Cloud lived. The interior was not very ornamental yet it was practical.
They found out that also Great Sage Cloud was an immensely powerful individual he was not attached
to the worldly pleasures. The inside of the mansion represented a cozy little home one would like to
spend a quiet evening in.
After a little bit of inspecting the mansion Austin found two rooms.
Curiously Austin and Violet went inside the room on the left and discovered that it was a study. Just
beside the window of the study there was desk with a brush, ink paper, an ink stone and a thread sown
book on it.
On the other side was a bookshelf with a scanty collection of books of about a dozen. There were also
a few jade slips.
Austin''s attention turned to the thread sown book instantly. He picked it up without hesitation. The book
was titled: "A Book of the Continent". Though it was not about martial arts, Austin was sure that it was
definitely of importance as Great Sage Cloud owned it.
Thus Austin after thinking about it for a while threw it in his Space Ring so that he would be able to go
through it in his leisure time.
After this Austin decided to check the shelf. He walked towards it. He selected a book to read and
found the title captivating: To Pick Shells among Elixirs.
Austin was a keen learner of the art of refining elixirs and he even owned his sparkle of me. This
knowledge made him basically capable of refining elixirs.
Austin''s interest was stimted the instant he found out the book was about making elixirs. After
fishing through a few pages, he was delighted about the prospects.

To his excitement Austin found out that the book "To Pick up Shells among Elixirs" was a record of
various recipes of elixirs.
The main utility of elixirs was obviously important to refine pills.
The recipes were detailed. Each one of the recipes described the procedure of making elixirs. It listed
the amount of each herb that was to be used and which part was to be used for the purpose.
It was evident that every recipe was generated after innumerable trials and experiments.
The Elixir Foundation that Austin obtained from Mindy mainly dealt in the basic knowledge of the
refinement of elixirs. It dealt with the introduction of some normal herbs and discussed how to refine the
sparkle of a me.
But it only had a limited number of recipes of normal elixirs. They wouldn''t be of much value if they
were refined.
This was the only thing that bothered Austin and this was why he was distressed with the Elixir
Foundation.
And precisely this is why he could not contain his excitement when he found "To Pick Shells Among
Elixirs" on Great Sage Cloud''s study table. Now he was sure that once he got hold of the recipes he
would always have enough elixirs.
After Austin had this book in his safe possession he started shuffling through the rest of the books with
the hope of finding something even more exciting. He found out that these books were chests of great
knowledge and dealt with various topics.
To his surprise he found books that were on weapon refinement, music, farming and even cooking. .
The books covered almost every topic a person could think of. It proved that Great Sage Cloud was
indeed an expert in many fields.
After going through a few of these books he lost his patience and decided that he needed all of them.
So he simply threw it in the Space Ring.
Then his eyes were fixed on the jade slips.
The slips were dainty little things. They were of the size slightly smaller than the human palm. They
were made of jade. With a glow to their appearance they were translucent.
To his astonishment, they are books about martial arts!
As Austin already had some knowledge of martial arts that the jade slips recorded he knew
approximately what these books were about just by a single look.
"Master, we must hurry up, please! We have what we need—the powerful crystal. Now we should make
our way out of the Cloud cave without dy.
We are not sure as to when the five martial artists of Mysterious Realm will stop battling. No matter
who wins we won''t have an easy escape."
the concerned Violet reminded Austin.
Austin without a jolt understood what he heard. Without a moment''s hesitation he dropped everything
in his Space Ring.
"Violet let''s quickly look around in the next room as well."
