Chapter 461 It Is Really Him! (Part One)
Austin blinked hard. There it was, the Buddha''s Palm right in front of his eyes, lying in the grass.
Although it was considered a sixth grade elixir, it was so difficult to find that many regarded it to be a
grade seven.
Which is why stumbling upon it was pure gold! He harvested a seventh grade elixir!
This was a rarity. Most chief figures of the five sects of the Violet Orchid Empire did not necessarily
have a grade seven elixir, making the finding of the Buddha''s Palm for Austin a once-in-a-lifetime
discovery!
Austin tentatively took the Buddha''s Palm in his hand and put it into the Space Ring with great care.
Onwards, he walked deeper into the Medicine Valley. The magnificent gnome had led him to arge
number of level six elixirs, and almost twenty strains of level seven elixirs. Most elixirs were guarded
either by a level six demonic or diabolic beast, though he had the rare chance to encounter a level
seven diabolic beast as well.
Imagine a level six diabolic beast to be as strong as a human at the preliminary or medium stage of the
Mysterious Realm. So a level seven diabolic beast had the strength to fight a human warrior who was
at the medium stage of the Mysterious Realm.
Making them incredibly redoubtable, the seventh-level diabolic beast that Austin encountered was a

seventh-level poisonous spider too. It moved its spindly eight legs treacherously towards Austin, as
each pincer sharper than a pointed needle promised death to the target. Faster than lightning, the
spider-monster was sheathed in a poisonous purple light and had the warrior wary ofing any
closer.
The fanged spider''s mouth from time to time was spurting a smelly, poisonous colorful mist that worked
like acid on the rocks nearby. The spider would hiss out just a single breath and the rocks would fizzle
into muddy water within seconds.
A judicious Austin was already on the vigil and dared not approach it knowing fully well the damage a
seventh-level venomous spider could do. Finally, he racked one''s brains and decided to use his Grand
Pagoda Summoning Skill to destroy the venomous spider. Once summoned, Austin was able to
destroy the formidable spider and reduce it to a puddle of mud.
By the end when Austin finished his journey through the Medicine Valley, he had collected innumerable
potent elixirs.
Nearing thest point of the Valley, Austin hoped that there would be a most extraordinary elixir or a
coveted treasure that would prove to be the cherry on the cake in his collection. However, he was
greatly disappointed.
By the end of the road, Austin reached an inessible cliff covered in dense bright green foliage.
Austin looked around to estimate the height of the towering cliff but it was too thickly shrouded in cold
white clouds. Though wispy, they were so densely piled on top of one another that no sunlight nor any
view could be seen through them.
However, something intriguing caught Austin''s eye right at the bottom of the cliff. There was a very
smooth stone wall, worn to the extent that it worked like a mirror. But the careful seamless way in which
it was, made Austin think it might be crafted.
And then Austin saw a gnome nearing the mirror-like wall, as he stared right at his reflection, examining
something. It was hard to tell if he were probing for something in the wall or peering through his
reflection. And then the expression on the gnome''s face changed. It was of recognition. Clearly, he had
found something.
What could that possibly be?
Austin paid much closer attention to the gnome''s movements.
He cautiously approached the same spot in the mirror wall, looking for that something that had caught
the gnome''s eye.
... ... ...
The expansive Medicine Valley was about 1, 500 wide corner to corner and more than 4, 000 meters
deep. And in that sweeping piece ofnd, a group of people could be spotted going deep into the
Medicine Valley.
They were Leo, Symon, Garret and Wilson.
It wasn''t actually a group as the four hardly considered each other agreeablepany. Anyhow, in
such a huge area the four walked separately but coincidentally in the same direction.
In their quest, most constantly acquired second, third, fourth and even fifth level elixirs. Of course, this
was only won after pulling down a number of diabolic beasts.
Their chosen paths had been rich in elixirs making each of them quite a fortune.
That was especially true for Leo and Symon who were more powerful than the other two. It took them
just a couple of moves and the fourth or fifth level diabolic beasts would be blown to bits. The higher
the levels they fought, the more precious of the elixirs they got.
As for the Garret and Wilson who were set off with rtively poorer strengths could only engage with
level three and four diabolic beasts. And, thus, in their kitty one would only find level three elixirs, which
were not as prized as the rest''s.
Often they would have to team up to ensure their victory over stronger diabolic beasts. This also gave
them an offhand fourth or fifth-level elixir.
On each of the four''s paths, they encountered a line of bodies of several in diabolic beasts. Clearly,
they were not the first to enter the Medicine Valley nor the only ones here.
This fact somehow disheartened Leo and the rest.
Among the corpses of the beasts strewn like waste from a celebration, they noticed that many were
fifth-or sixth-level diabolic beasts. This further stirred envy inside their hearts as they yearned for high-
level elixirs that somebody before them had already got. What they bagged instead felt like scraps.
To add insult to injury, their most powerful enemy was just one level five diabolic beast.
They had never seen a level six diabolic beast let alone fighting one.
In contrast, among the scattered bodies, one could count at least 50 or 60 level six diabolic beasts in
just one nce. This meant that their predecessor now had an equal number of incredibly important
elixirs on him.
As they went farther into the Valley, the count of bodies of the sixth level diabolic beasts kept on
growing.
All four felt seething resentment at the thought that someone had already been here. Leo, Symon,
Wilson and Garret felt reduced to beggars as they felt they were like rats gnawing at an eaten apple for
some piece of the fruit.
