Chapter 1508 Set Out


    However, after reading all the instructions on how to master the Grand Body Refining Skill, Austin


    immediately lost his excitement.


    He even wanted to curse whoever invented this skill.


    He found out that mastering the Grand Body Refining Skill cost a fortune. This was not for ordinary


    cultivators. Only those who were from affluent backgrounds would be able to practice it.


    A lot of superior herbs of the earth''s attribute and other precious natural resources were required for


    this Grand Body Refining Skill. And these ingredients were needed to be eaten.


    The more superior and precious the herbs and other precious natural resources were, the better


    cultivation could be achieved.


    "Damn! Why should all body refining skills cost too much?" he eximed in frustration.


    He felt so thwarted that he couldn''t help butugh bitterly.


    Before, when Austin practiced the Overlord Body-refining Form and the Beast Energy-extracting


    Skill, he also needed an abundant supply of resources.


    When he was learning the Overlord Body-refining Form, he needed to collect a lot of elixirs and


    made them into juice. He needed to immerse his body into the juice to refine his body.


    When it came to mastering the Beast Energy-extracting Skill, he needed to absorb a great amount of


    blood essence from diabolic beasts to build up his physical strength.


    This time, the Grand Body Refining Skill that he was reading needed a great many superior herbs and


    other precious natural resources. And it would be best if all the elixirs were superior.


    No doubt about it, if Austin could learn this Grand Body Refining Skill sessfully, his ability would


    greatly improve.


    Currently, Austin''s physical strength was already about four million pounds.


    If he could master the Grand Body Refining Skill, his physical strength would definitely improve a dozen


    times. If this happened, he could be able to fight with really great power.


    Austin creased his eyebrows as he was thinking about the huge amount of elixirs, superior herbs, and


    other precious natural resources.


    When suddenly, something came to his mind.


    "Right! The Wild Herb Valley!" he eximed. His eyes lit in excitement.


    He remembered that Steward Nn said before that there were numerous superior herbs and precious


    natural resources in the Wild Herb Valley.


    "There must be plenty of herbs of earth''s attribute and other precious natural resources there," he


    murmured as he was talking to himself.


    "If I can enter the Wild Herb Valley, I can look for all the necessary herbs and natural resources that I


    need for the Grand Body Refining Skill. Although going there is too risky and fatal, I think it''s worth it."


    Austin was deep in thought. He was trying to weigh the pros and cons of going there.


    "I will go there!" He made the final decision. He was willing to do everything just to improve his fighting


    skills.


    Austin was a determined man.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    He had always focused on cultivating himself. When in training, he always worked hard and spared no


    effort.


    He was fully aware of the countless obstacles in the martial arts road. So if he wanted to break through


    continuously, he must ovee these obstacles by himself. If he could achieve everything effortlessly


    and risk-free, he couldn''t consider it a real way of cultivating himself. He wouldn''t consider himself a


    true warrior.


    Only when he stuck to trials, practical fights and challenges, he could move to a higher level and


    be a real strong cultivator.


    After making his final decision, Austin put away the three jade slip of martial art skills and went to look


    for Caroline.


    Then he told Caroline everything about his n.


    Caroline was anxious after listening to Austin but she didn''t try to stop him.


    They had been together long enough for her to know him very well. She knew that she couldn''t stop


    Austin from cultivating himself so the best she could do was to support him all the way.


    Anyway, she also wanted her lover to grow stronger.


    After discussing with Caroline, Austin immediately signed up for the task of picking herbs and collecting


    precious natural resources in the Wild Herb Valley.


    Signing up was very easy to do. He just needed to send Steward Nn a message through the


    Contact Jade Slip.


    During the next two days, Austin busied himself with keeping Carolinepany as well as practicing


    the Mysterious Dragon Fist and the Glorious Swordsmanship.


    In two days, he managed to understand these two martial arts and mastered some basic skills.


    However, he was still far from using these two skills into fights.


    On the third day, all the disciples who signed up for the task in the Wild Herb Valley gathered in the


    square.


    More or less, there were 50 disciples who signed up.


    The reason why there were not so many of them was because of the high fatality rate.


    Many disciples got scared of losing their lives during the task.


    Only a few cultivators were courageous enough to risk their lives.


    Austin noticed that most of the disciples in the square were at the Semi-emperor Realm or higher.


    Around fifteen of them were at the Emperor Realm.


    Those whose cultivation bases was lower than the Holy Realm were the minority. Austin was one of


    them.


    Of course, Austin was at the weakest and the lowest cultivation level because he was only at the


    Medium stage of Semi-holy Realm.


    Because of it, Austin was really conspicuous among the more than fifty disciples in the square.


    Almost all of the disciples were looking at Austin with curious eyes. Some were even staring at him


    from head to toe.


    Even Steward Nn''s attention was caught by him.


    "If I''m not mistaken, your name is Austin, right?" Steward Nn wasn''t able to restrain his curiosity


    anymore.


    He was interested to know about Austin.


    Austin was first stunned when he heard Steward Nn''s question. He didn''t expect that the steward


    would talk to him.


    When he regained hisposure, he then answered, "Yes, sir. My name is Austin Lin."


    "I admire your courage, young man. That''s actually a very good attitude," said Steward Nn.


    "But are you really sure you want to be involved in this task? You should know that most cultivators


    who enter the Wild Herb Valley are at the Emperor Realm of each sect."


    Steward Nn''s voice was full of doubt.


    "Since you are still weak, once they start to fight inside the valley, I think you will..." Steward Nn


    seemed to find it difficult to finish what he wanted to say.


    Instead, he said, "I suggest you think about it again."


    "Is that so?" Austin asked.


    He couldn''t help but raise an eyebrow after hearing what Steward Nn had said. He didn''t feel good


    that Steward Nn was obviously doubting his capabilities.


    "Sir, I hope you don''t mind me asking. Am I not qualified to join this task?" Austin''s question surprised


    Steward Nn.


    "No, it''s not like that. ording to Elder Brendan, any disciples even with the cultivation base lower


    than the Emperor Realm can sign up for the task as long as they are willing to. But..."


    Again, Steward Nn was not able to finish hisst sentence. He was somehow dumbfounded by


    Austin''s audacity.


    "Since Elder Brendan said that, I am willing to participate in this task. I know you are just worried about


    me and I really appreciate it, sir. But I know what I''m doing. I have already prepared myself for any


    possibilities. I am fully aware that the martial arts road has a lot of obstacles and risks."


    Steward Nn didn''t realize how determined a person Austin was.


    "Well, that''s good! I like what you said. Since you have already made up your mind, I won''t stop you


    from joining this task anymore." Steward Nn gave Austin an admiring look.


    It was not every day that he could meet someone like Austin.


    He really hoped that this young man would seed in his endeavor.


    He then turned his attention to the group of disciples gathered in the area.


    "All right, everyone!" he started. "I will now send an illustrated handbook about all the herbs and other


    precious natural resources to your Contact Jade Slips. In this handbook, you will see detailed


    information about each herb and precious natural resources. You can refer to this information in picking


    herbs and collecting natural resources in the Wild Herb Valley."


    He then closed his eyes and through his mental power, more than fifty white beam of lights emerged


    from his Soul Sea and entered into the Contact Jade Slip of each disciple present in the area.


    When Austin received his handbook, he looked over it a bit. Just like what Steward Nn said, there


    were pictures, introductions, and other information about spiritual herbs, superior herbs, and other


    precious natural resources. It was even noted that some of them could only be found in the Wild Herb


    Valley.


    The pictures were fine and vivid. Anyone could easily find those herbs and precious natural resources


    as long as they read the information and studied the pictures carefully.


    The illustrated handbook was a very good reference especially if the herbs were not familiar to the


    disciples.


    "Alright! I''m done sending you all the illustrated handbook. You can now go and start your task,"


    Steward Nn instructed. "I hope that all of you guys will unite and help each other. You''d better try


    your best to reduce the death rate of our me Holy Land. Am I understood?"


    "Yes, sir!"


    All the disciples answered in chorus.


    "I''m d to hear that." Steward Nn smiled.


    "Everyone, set out!"


    That was Steward Nn''sst sentence before the disciples dispersed.
