Chapter 1500 The World In A Tree
He looked at Austin''s baffled face. "What? This is different from what you imagined, right?
All right, let''s get inside. You''ll know it soon," Mad Old Man said with a faint smile as if he had read
Austin''s mind.
He then started to walk towards the vige.
Austin, Caroline, and Tyler followed him.
As soon as Mad Old Man reached the vige, a group of kids who were ying caught sight of him.
They instantly swarmed around him and called him grandpa, several of them were around two to three
years old. They hugged his legs and asked him for candies.
Mad Old Man took out a handful of items from his Space Ring. Austin''s eyes narrowed as he saw the
items on his hand. ''You can''t be serious. Those are nine-grade, ten-grade pills, not sweets, '' Austin
thought.
Austin easily recognized the pills. Being a pill refiner himself, he knew that those pills contained a great
deal of spiritual energy. And they could also improve one''s physique and enhance body strength.
Based on the pills'' fragrant scent, Austin assumed that the pill refiner had added some materials to
enhance their taste.
The kids started to disperse after each of them were given one or two pills.

Austin''s eyes widened in shock as he saw the kids popped the pills into their mouth and began to chew
them like candy.
''Pills are good for cultivators, but you need to be careful before you take any of them.
We must only consume the pills that are suitable for our constitution and cultivation base.
Cultivators must not consume any pills or elixirs that are beyond their cultivation base. The excessive
spiritual energy inside those pills can lead to injuries, or even deaths.
How could these little kids eat those ninth-grade, and tenth-grade pills like sweet treats?'' Austin
brooded worriedly.
"Sir, will these kids be okay after they consumed these high-grade pills?"
Austin asked with concern.
"Don''t worry. Every kid in this vige has been bathed in the water mixed with the blood of rare diabolic
beasts, beast cores, or high-grade elixirs since they were born. Their bodies are strongerpared to
They can even consume superior pills, let alone some spiritual pills,"
Mad Old Man replied as he smiled from ear to ear.
Austin was shocked by what he just heard.
''Seriously? The people in this vige have been bathed in the blood of rare diabolic beasts, beast
cores, or high-grade elixirs?'' Austin thought in amazement.
As the four of them continued their journey, vigers appeared from time to time. They wore in
clothes and looked like simple people who knew nothing about martial arts. They greeted Mad Old Man
enthusiastically while they gave Austin a curious nce. Judging by the look in their eyes, Austin could
tell that they were hospitable and wouldn''t do any harm.
There were about dozens of houses that upied the small area of the vige, and about two hundred
people lived there.
The vigers left with their bows sped on their backs. The bones of various beasts littered the road
at the edge of the vige.
''Looks like the people here live on hunting, '' Austin spected.
"Master, don''t underestimate these vigers. They are just concealing their real strength.
I can sense that they are incredibly powerful. They are much strongerpared to you."
It was Violet''s voice that echoed inside Austin''s Soul Sea.
"Is that so?"
Austin asked inquiringly.
"Yes. Although you''re stronger than me, I''m more sensitive in figuring out people''s real strength.
The skill that they used to conceal their cultivation base has something to do with illusion,"
Violet replied proudly.
"I see,"
Austin replied with a nod.
''Looks like this remote and hidden vige is full of secrets.
Those kids can eat ninth-grade or even tenth-grade pills, and the adults here are cultivators who tried
to hide their real strength, '' Austin thought.
Mad Old Man headed east together with Austin, Caroline, and Tyler.
Austin''s attention was caught by an old towering tree. It was over ten meters in diameter, and it
seemed like it would take more than ten adults, with their arms stretched, to surround it.
The tree looked like a dead wood from afar, as it stood alone without any leaves, and splits could be
seen on its trunks.
Mad Old Man led them towards the tree.
As they were facing the huge tree, Mad Old Man stopped in front of it.
He then waved his hand, and one spot of the tree began to tremble and ripple-like waves appeared.
"That''s the spatial teleportation power! There is a teleportation passage in the tree,"
the gnome eximed in surprise while Austin stared in amazement.
A wooden door soon appeared on the tree, and spatial power came out from it.
"Follow me," Mad Old Man said.
He stepped into the door and disappeared.
Austin, Caroline, and Tyler hurriedly followed the old man. Austin reached for Caroline''s hand after they
entered the door.
They were then enveloped by the teleportation power
Momentster, Austin''s feet felt the ground.
He curiously looked around and surveyed his surroundings.
He found himself in the mountains surrounded by old, towering trees and gigantic rocks.
nts and waterfalls were everywhere, and there was even a cobble-paved, winding path which led to
quiet spots.
There were various buildings and pavilions built on the mountain. All of them were grand and imposing.
It was a secluded ce that was surrounded with a much denser spiritual energypared to the
outside world.
"Just like the Mysterious Nether World, this seems to be an independent space too,"
the gnome said.
"You have a point."
Austin nodded his head in agreement. ''Perhaps the base of the me Holy Land is an independent
space like the Mysterious Nether World.''
"Boy, this is our base.
All right. This is where you will stay and start your cultivation.
Tyler, show him around and find them a ce to live.
Oh, by the way boy, always keep it in mind:petition is everywhere; Only tough opponents make
you stronger," Mad Old Man said as he smiled at Austin.
He then left and flew towards the pce on the top of a mountain.
Austin was stunned. ''This old man is trying to tell me something.''
