Chapter 620 Escorting The Holly Daughter Sissi (Part One)


    "Do you mean...?" Sissi drawled in wonder.


    It seemed she hadprehended the meaning of Austin''s words. Not only did she appreciate Austin''s


    exceptional insight, but she also sensed him to be a man of consideration and dignity.


    "Anyway, young hero, I think you''ve noticed my poor health. It''s a pity that I''ve gotten myself wounded


    badly at such a crucial moment," she continued in dismay.


    She thought about the dangers thaty ahead of them and let out a deep sigh. She regretted her


    negligence that had gotten her injured in the battle.


    As Austin watched Sissi''s delicate face turn gloomy, he felt a certain prick in his heart and tried to


    console her.


    "I think you''ll recover soon since your vital energy cultivation base is in the Imperial Realm. Being in


    such a high realm, you''re strong enough to treat your injuries by yourself. Of course, you''ll need to be


    patient since any injury will take some time to heal. Those bastards must have known about your health


    problem. Otherwise, they wouldn''t have dared to challenge you." He looked at her with concerned


    eyes.


    The moment Sissi had walked out of her extravagant carriage and spoken to him, Austin had known


    that she was a mighty woman, not a weak and fragile one. He could sense from the vital energy


    cultivation base that she possessed that she belonged to the preliminary stage of the Imperial Realm.


    Hearing Austin''s thoughtful words, Sissi''s eyes widened in wonder. Although she knew that Austin was


    strong and skilled, she hadn''t expected him to be smart enough to identify her cultivation base level.

    "I''m surprised that you can identify my cultivation base.


    You''re right, of course. If it weren''t for my injury, those men wouldn''t have dared to sneak up on us like


    that. My current state of weakness is what gave them that opportunity.


    Now that weck both power and weapons, I have no confidence in reaching our destination. But if you


    are with us, things will turn out for the best. Are you truly not willing to escort me back to my sect?"


    As she spoke, her eyes looked imploringly into Austin''s, which touched the softest part of Austin''s


    heart. He could see that Sissi was in dire need of protection. Still, Austin remained cool-headed enough


    to make a clear and logical decision.


    "I''m sorry for disappointing you. It''s not that I don''t want to help you. I have my own reasons for


    departing and I hope you''ll understand. For one thing, I really need to get to the Heavenly Dragon Holy


    Kingdom as soon as possible to attend to some urgent matters. Besides, I can see that your Cyan Sect


    doesn''t get along with some other sect.


    I don''t think I''m powerful enough to make any more enemies. Given the situation, I''d really like to stay


    away from trouble," he stated.


    Austin made his exnation in and brief without using any polite words or obscurities. He knew


    there was no point in being courteous given the situation they were facing.


    "Well, if that''s the case..." Sissi sighed. She was more than disappointed.


    She had assessed the strength of the Cyan Sect disciples who were escorting her as well as her own


    and hade to the conclusion that there wasn''t much hope of them arriving at their sect sessfully.


    The only chance of them reaching their destination was if they had someone much stronger with them.


    Otherwise, getting back to their sect was like a distant dream.


    Austin''s performance just now had highly impressed her and given her hope. The men he had defeated


    had the cultivation base of the Sky Realm, which was, needless to say, a very high realm to achieve.


    Since Austin had defeated those mighty men in just a few minutes, Sissi couldn''t help but wonder


    about his true capability.


    She guessed that Austin might be in the same realm that she was. If that was the case, Austin could


    stand up against disciples of the Imperial Realm if they encountered anymore on their way. So,


    somehow keeping Austin at her side and having him escort her to the sect became Sissi''s number one


    priority. She quickly hatched a n to achieve her goal.


    "Sir Austin, have you ever heard of the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool?" she inquired him. "No, I haven''t."


    Austin shook his head.


    He furrowed his eyebrows, wondering what the Vital Energy Cleansing Pool could have to do with


    whether he left or stayed.


    Noting his slight curiosity, Sissi smiled victoriously.


    "The Vital Energy Cleansing Pool is a natural pool that is unique to our sect. Only the unique soil and


    the environment of the mountain that my sect base is situated in can nourish that magical and


    mysterious pool.


    The Vital Energy Cleansing Pool has the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth. If a person can


    absorb the energy in the pool, then there are at least two kinds of eminent good qualities that he''ll get.


    You know that vital energy is an essential element for all the realms. Bathing in the Vital Energy


    Cleansing Pool will increase the volume of your vital energy and help you upgrade to the next realm.


    The effect is remarkably significant for disciples who belong to the Sky Realm because they''re more


    capable of absorbing such massive, majestic energy. By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and


    earth contained in the pool, you can easily eliminate the negative element that is hindering your vital


    energy cultivation.


    And that''s not all. After providing you with a safe, fluid path of umting vital energy, the pool will


    also purify the vital energy that is already stored in your body. I''m sure you know that a person can


    umte vital energy from various resources. Vital energy from certain resources might not have


    much of an effect on the cultivator''s strength because it''s either fake or it''s too powerful for disciples of


    a lower realm to absorb. In that case, the pool is the ideal solution for them because it can purify that


    vital energy and turn it into energy that can be absorbed." Sissi carefully observed Austin''s face as she


    spoke, knowing that even the slightest change of expression on his face would mean that she had him


    hooked to her bait.


    "Oh, really?" Austin asked with a hint of excitement. It was clear that Sissi''s words had aroused his


    interest.


    "Are you saying a pool that can not only help people upgrade to the next realm, but also improve the


    quality of their vital energy?" he inquired with a suspicious look on his face.


    He was intrigued by Sissi''s description of the pool. He had never known that such a thing existed. If the


    pool was really as powerful as she had exined and could speed up the cultivation process as well as


    improve the quality of vital energy, any cultivator would be willing to risk everything toy their hands on


    it.


    Sensing his doubt, Sissi stared straight into his eyes and said, "It''s true. The pool that we have in our


    mountain is indeed a valuable asset to us. I assure you that it''s really worth all the trouble and risk to


    visit it."


    She was pleased to find that Austin was interested in the pool and that her n was proceeding as she


    had hoped.


    To convince Austin more thoroughly, she continued, "But there''s one thing you might want to know.


    Although the potency of the pool is formidable, its power isn''t unlimited. There is a routine cycle for it to


    renew its power.


    The renewal cycle spans three months. In other words, we can use the pool only once in three months.


    And even then, only three people can bathe in it. If more than three people bathe in the pool or the pool


    is used more than once in three months, it would render the pool ineffective.
