Chapter 468 A 500-Year Old Broken Soul (Part One)


    Austin was surprised to see an old man inside the log cabin. The old man was standing with his hands


    behind his back as if he was expecting to see Austin at that time.


    Austin, on the other hand, didn''t expect to see anyone inside that log cabin.


    ''Hey...Who could this be?'' He couldn''t believe what he was seeing and could only wonder to himself.


    The old man with long silver hair in ck robe looked quite scary and mysterious to Austin.


    The old man''s eyes were as deep as the ck hole, but they looked rather peaceful. Austin''s nape felt


    cold as the old man looked at him directly. He also felt as if the old man was scanning him thoroughly.


    When the soul in his Soul Sea quivered and had a tendency of flying out, he was taken aback quickly


    and had to raise his defense and alertness at once. Austin had never been so scared and panicky in


    his life.


    But as he moved, he noticed that the heavy spiritual sense that made it difficult for him to move outside


    the cabin had finally disappeared.


    Without the spiritual sense inside the log cabin, he could freely move at will.


    "I''ve been waiting for so long for someone toe, and I already lost count of the years. I''ve lost hope


    that someone could make it here alive. But s! Here you are!"


    The old man''s voice sounded like from ancient time as he slowly spoke these words to Austin.


    "I apologize for the intrusion. I''m Austin. I don''t know if I should say this, but it''s nice to meet you, sir.


    I identally broke in here without your notice. Again, I apologize for that and hope you can forgive


    me," Austin said sincerely. His eyes were apologetic with his hands cupped as a sign of respect. His


    intuition told him that the old man standing in front of him was not just an ordinary martial artist.


    Therefore, it was just appropriate that he showed great respect for the old man.


    "Don''t worry. You''re not overstepping on anything. But if I may ask, you came for the treasure in


    Mysterious Nether World, didn''t you?"


    A slight smile crossed the mysterious old man''s wrinkled face. "It surprised me that someone like you


    could enter my living ce despite the heavy spiritual sense. And now, you''re here inside my cabin."


    "If I may ask, what''s your name, sir?" Austin asked respectfully.


    "You asked for my name? I''ve died hundreds of years ago, so I believe that no one would even


    recognize me and remember my name. But since you made it here alive, I owe it to you. My first name


    is Angus, and myst name is An. You can call me by myst name. But I must tell you, young man.


    What you''re seeing is just a part of my soul," the old man said.


    The old man had died hundreds of years ago?


    Austin was stunned. He carefully observed the old man and from what he had sensed, he could tell that


    the old man''s body was indeed different from a normal living person''s body. It was surreal.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Austin marveled at the old man''s secret which could make a part of his soulst for hundreds of years.


    "I know it''s hard to believe, but don''t be surprised. In fact, this small valley is a special array that I made


    to nourish souls. Therefore, I could make my broken soulst for hundreds of years instead of


    disappearing in the world," Angus said with a smile. It appeared that he could read what was in Austin''s


    mind at that time.


    "I really admire your superior technique!"


    Austin said sincerely. He hadn''t heard about a technique that could preserve one''s soul for hundreds of


    years with only an array. Although he hadn''t fully understood it, he was still in awe of what one could do


    with such a technique.


    "Young man, it''s not easy to enter my array and see me at the same time. But since you made it this


    far, it only proves that you have such great spiritual sense and persistence.


    Now, release your spiritual sense and condense it in front of you. Let me see what you got," Angus said


    suddenly.


    Austin hesitated for a moment because he didn''t know why this old man wanted to see his spiritual


    sense. But since he didn''t feel any ill will from Angus, he did it as he told after a few seconds of


    hesitation.


    He concentrated his mind and body. Using his mental strength, he extracted all spiritual sense from his


    Soul Sea and condensed it in front of Angus.


    Austin released his spiritual sense and covered a diameter of nine thousand meters around him.


    The condensed spiritual sense, it gradually spread out like waves in the air that was visible to the


    naked eye.


    Although his cultivation base was at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm, Austin believed that his


    spiritual sense was even more powerful than most Sky Realm cultivators.


    "In my honest assessment, your spiritual sense is still weak. But that''s just as expected since you''re


    just seventeen years old.


    Young man, you are the first person I met in the five hundred years that I''m here.


    Fate had indeed brought you here. I believe we''re meant to meet at this very moment.


    Are you into medicine refining, young man?"


    Angus stared at Austin with a smile. The old man knew that Austin didn''t just identally broke into his


    ce. There was a deep reason for Austin''s presence in his old cabin.


    "I am. But to be honest, I just learned about medicine refinement through self-study," Austin said. As he


    spoke, he reached out his hand and a light golden me came out on his palm.


    "Oh? I must say that you have somehow learned the medicine refinement quite good on your own.


    Well, I''m a medicine refiner myself. My medicine refinement skill was not that bad.


    But I have no use to it now. So, how about I pass down my skill of medicine refinement to you?


    I know medicine refinement is taken lightly by many. But don''t belittle such skill.


    If a martial artist wants to strengthen his cultivation, he will need arge number of resources and


    medicine. Speaking of medicine, elixirs are the most important and essential of all the resources.


    If you achieve proficiency in medicine refinement, you can speed up your cultivation with the medicine


    that you refined by yourself.


    In addition, being a medicine refiner will give you a noble status, thus gaining respect from others in the


    martial arts world.


    And if you can refine high-quality medicine, no matter where you go, you will be given well treatment.


    You will be like a moon surrounded by stars!"


    Angus exined.


    Austin knew so much about medicine refinement. While he was self-studying on medicine refining, he


    gained a deep understanding of its benefit. There was nothing that he didn''t know from what Angus


    had said but he didn''t dare to interrupt. He just nodded in agreement. But the fact that Angus would


    pass down his medicine refinement knowledge to Austin was something thetter was truly looking


    forward to.
