Chapter 687 A Crystal Mine Mountain


    Once Austin absorbed and refined the blood of the seven Silver Demonic Wolves, his strength was


    388, 000 pounds.


    But that wasn''t enough for him. His goal was to increase his physical strength to over 400, 000 pounds.


    Soon, he unleashed his spiritual sense to target the level-nine diabolic beasts nearby.


    A level-nine diabolic beast was equal to a cultivator at the premium stage of Sky Realm.


    But it was an easy task for Austin to handle beasts of that level.


    But to Austin''s disappointment, the number of level-nine diabolic beasts was significantly less than that


    of level-eight ones.


    Three dayster, Austin killed a level-nine rhinoceros and refined its blood. So far, he had killed 12


    level-nine beasts and sessfully turned the essence in their blood into his power.


    He finally achieved his goal: his physical strength was up to 400, 000 pounds.


    It had been ten days since he had entered the Sunset Mountain. During that period, Austin had gained


    an extra 40, 000 pounds of force.


    He had never seen this happen before.


    Austin took a deep breath.


    Having finished refining the essence of the rhinoceros'' blood, he stood up and released the 400, 000


    pounds of force.


    Bang!


    A tremendously strong power gushed out of Austin''s body.


    The next second, a horrifying wind which held infinite power was created. It swept through the tall,


    dense bush which disappeared instantly, and even the huge stones which weighed hundreds of


    thousands of pounds nearby dissolved into ashes.


    The ground where Austin stood sank and crunched, creating a pit which was over ten meters deep and


    dozens of meters wide. He had leaped into the air the moment he felt the ground sinking. Otherwise,


    he would have fallen into that huge hole.


    Austin felt great possessing such amazing physical strength.


    He stopped unleashing his physical power and began to look for his next target.


    Out of the blue, Violet reached out to him using her spiritual sense.


    "Master, I have something to tell you.


    I just heard that a Crystal Mine Mountain was discovered in the Sunset Mountain and many cultivators


    areing here to check it out."


    "What? Crystal Mine Mountain?"


    Austin murmured.


    Austin had learned something about the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom during his stay. Most of the


    mines here existed in the deserts in the northwest.


    However, the Sunset Mountain was located in a forest that was in the east of Heavenly Dragon Holy


    Kingdom. Vital energy crystals were rare in this area.


    Geologicalndform had something to do with it.


    So, Austin was surprised that vital energy crystals had been discovered here.


    "Do you know the quality of these vital energy crystals?


    If they''re justmon crystals, I''ve no intention of wasting my time,"


    Austin said casually.


    "I don''t know. We need to go check them."


    Usually, there were three types of vital energy crystals:mon vital energy crystals, superior vital


    energy crystals and sacred vital energy crystals.


    The legendary supreme vital energy crystals were of a better quality than the three mentioned above.


    For most cultivators, supreme vital energy crystals were a mystery. They didn''t even know if they really


    existed or not.


    At present, Austin possessed countlessmon vital energy crystals and several million superior vital


    energy crystals.


    As for sacred vital energy crystals, he had none, although he had seen them once in an old abandoned

    mine.


    He thought it was probable that the dozens of crystals at the altar in the Veritable Demon Sect''s Holy


    Tomb were sacred vital energy crystals.


    Besides, he had figured out the value of three vital energy crystal types.


    A superior vital energy crystal was equal to 50, 000mon vital energy crystals.


    A sacred vital energy crystal was equal to 500, 000 superior vital energy crystals.


    Austin was wealthy, somon vital energy crystals meant nothing to him.


    But if the mine had superior vital energy crystals, things would be different.


    "Fine. Let''s go there and have a look.


    I want to see what type of crystals they are.


    If they are superior vital energy crystals, I''ll try and get some," Austin said.


    He still couldn''t resist the temptation of fortune, so he stopped cultivating and activated his bodily


    movement skill.


    Momentster, he joined Violet and the gnome.


    Austin could sense that Violet had be stronger after cultivating for the past few days.


    Before parting with her, he had given her lots of superior vital energy crystals for her to absorb spiritual


    energy from. On top of that, he had given her several valuable sixth-grade and seventh-grade elixirs.


    Being provided with abundant cultivation resources and having gone through many trials, Violet had


    made a lot of progress.


    The three of them then headed for the Crystal Mine Mountain that Violet had mentioned.


    A few minutester, they stopped in their tracks when they caught sight of a bunch of armed people


    standing ahead of them.


    Austin released his power of spiritual sense to figure out the identity of the men. A few secondster,


    he chuckled, recognizing them.


    These men were from the Eagle Mercenary Team. Austin had killed one of their members.


    This group was under the leadership of four Imperial Realm masters. Two of the leaders were at the


    medium stage while the other two were at the preliminary stage.


    Most of their members were at the premium stage of Sky Realm.


    The rest were at the medium stage of Sky Realm.


    The one who was leading the team was Mack, the vice head of the Eagle Mercenary Team.


    "Sir, is our boss going to join us?"


    a cultivator at the preliminary stage of Imperial Realm asked Mack.


    "Yes. Jim Lu, the steward of Sky Sect, requires us to be here at their disposal,"


    Mack replied.


    "Well, since he''s given the order, we have to follow it.


    If the Sky Sect hadn''t had our backs, our team wouldn''t even have been here.


    Of course we should return their favor,"


    the cultivator who had questioned Mack replied.


    "Well, there''s no need to talk about that.


    All we need to do is follow Jim''s orders.


    Lock down this area and don''t allow anyone to approach that Crystal Mine Mountain,"


    Mack said gravely.


    Austin was still using his spiritual sense, so he heard the whole conversation between these two men.


    Generally speaking, cultivators could easily detect those whose spiritual sense was weaker than theirs.


    On the other hand, it was difficult for cultivators to sense those whose spiritual sense was stronger than


    theirs.


    This was because cultivators with strong spiritual sense were inclined to form a wall of spiritual sense


    to prevent others from spying on them.


    It would be a challenging task for cultivators weaker than them to pierce the wall that they had formed.


    When two forces met, the stronger one could always effortlessly defeat the weaker one.
