Chapter 1639 Splitting Up Treasures
"Brat, as for this coffin, let''s go halves," Earth Hermit proposed after studying the coffin for a while.
He sliced the coffin in half with his bare hands, and after he threw half of it at Austin, thetter part
floated in front of him.
"ording to you the coffin is made of dragon tree, and it will boost our cultivation process if we
cultivate sitting on it.
Are you absolutely sanguine about that?"
Austin asked skeptically as he eyed the half of the coffin.
"You think I was lying?
No problem. I will take all of them."
Earth Hermit pursed his lips and expressed his displeasure.
With a wave of his sleeve, Austin stored all the boards in front of him into his Space Ring.
''I need to take them. What if the coffin is really made of dragon tree? I don''t want to miss out on good
and genuine treasures, '' he mused.
"Don''t look down upon the blood. If I can know the right way to use it, I might be able to reach the
Immortal Transforming Realm.
Even drinking a little will enhance my strength greatly,"
Earth Hermit continued, as he pointed at the floating blood in front of him.
Austin felt disgusting as he watched the blood. ''This old man does have weird fetishes. He even wants
to drink the blood stored inside the coffin for hundreds of thousands of years.'' He was simply grossed
out at the thought.
"But boy, you''re too weak now.
The blood won''t do you any good now.
So allow me to take it,"
Earth Hermit announced as he turned to look at Austin.
Austin nodded in agreement.
''My cultivation base is so low right now. I''ve a long way before I reach the Immortal Transforming
Realm.
But he is different. He is one of the most powerful seniors in the East Maind, and I think his
cultivation base must be pretty high.
It''s more practical for him to enter the Immortal Transforming Realmpared to me, '' Austin decided.
"There are many ancient characters present on the shroud. I have studied them and found it was the
Mind-clearing Scripture.
When cultivators get disturbed or confused by some evil power, they can calm down or conquer their
inner demons by chanting from this scripture.
I''m going to put the Mind-clearing Scripture into your Soul Sea. You can read it at your ease,"
Earth Hermit said.
The moment he finished talking, Austin found a scripture in his Soul Sea.
Earth Hermit put aside the shroud.
"The old wooden fish might be useful for cultivators if they want to enter the Immortal Transforming
Realm. I''ll take it too."
Earth Hermit then put the wooden fish and the stick aside.
Each of them got half of the coffin.
Austin possessed the white sword.
Earth Hermit got the blood, the shroud, the wooden fish and the stick.

"You''re such a greedy old man. Clearly you got more treasures than me,"
Austinined.
''The shroud, the wooden fish and the stick must be priceless treasures. He took all of them, '' he
thought to himself.
"Brat, you need to work on improving your power.
Those treasures are practically useless to you.
My case is very different. I''m in dire need of them because I want to reach the Immortal Transforming
Realm.
Besides, I''m an elder. Quit whining and let go,"
Earth Hermit scolded and narrowed his eyes at Austin.
"I acquired some ruling crystals from the buildings in Purple Immortal''s tomb.
You have reached the premium stage of Semi-emperor Realm. If you draw the energy from these
crystals, you will be able to enter the Emperor Realm," he continued.
As the elder waved his hand, a heap of crystals which contained the immense spiritual energy
appeared on the ground in front of them.
Austin''s eyes lit up in sheer joy and excitement as he found that there were over ten millions ruling
crystals.
The value of the ruling crystal was higher than that of the enlightening crystal. The former was a level
higher than thetter.
To Austin''s surprise, Earth Hermit had collected a shocking number of ruling crystals in those imposing
buildings.
Although he had gotten more than one hundred million enlightening crystals back then, the value of his
enlightening crystals was less than that of the ruling crystals that Earth Hermit presented before his
eyes.
With a wave of his hand, Austin put all the ruling crystals into his Space Ring quickly before Earth
Hermit changed his mind.
"One more thing. I bet you have also collected a lot of herbs.
If you give me some herbs of earth attribute, I will consider the deal as even,"
Austin proposed.
''His real identity is Earth Hermit, a celebrity in the East Maind. I am sure he is filthy rich and has
some valuable herbs.
I''ve reached the third stage of Grand Body Refining Skill. I need more herbs of earth attribute to
continue my cultivation and get better at my skills.
I''ve collected many of superior herbs ranging from grade six to grade nine in Purple Immortal''s tomb
and many of them are of earth attribute.
If I can manage to get more from him, I might be able to master the fifth stage of the Grand Body
Refining Skill in one go, '' Austin contemted.
Earth Hermit agreed at once. He took out a bunch of herbs from his Space Ring and made them float in
front of Austin. They were of earth attribute. This was what Austin wanted.
''With these herbs, perhaps I can sessfully master the fifth stage of the Grand Body Refining Skill, ''
Austin thought, ted beyond words.
"I need to leave now brat.
I need to find a quiet ce to cultivate.
Take care. Maybe in the future we will meet again,"
Earth Hermit said.
"You''re leaving already?"
Austin felt slightly sad to part with the elder as he did not anticipate that it would happen so quickly.
''I had been with him in the past few days. He is actually a good man. I think I will miss him.
At least, he doesn''t act as if he is superior to me. He is not bossy.
He is the well-respected Earth Hermit, who is one of the top cultivators in the East Maind.
He was willing to share those priceless treasures with me without hesitation. Very unlikely for a man of
his height and achievements.
Other strong cultivators would have killed me conveniently and taken all the treasures in his shoes, '' he
mused.
"Yeah. Take care and don''t get yourself killed," Earth Hermit responded, patting Austin''s shoulder
gently and cordially.
The elder took several steps and vanished into thin air.
Austin went to a quiet valley and began his cultivation without wasting a moment.
He decided to practice the Grand Body Refining Skill first because he had plenty of herbs of earth
tribute.
All these were superior herbs at or above the grade four to his great excitement.
Austin spected that he could seed in learning the stage four and the stage five of the Grand
Body Refining Skill once he ate all the high-grade superior herbs of earth attribute.
He then took out all the herbs of earth attribute that he had and ced them in front of him.
After swallowing all the herbs, he started to cultivate the Grand Body Refining Skill.
Ten days passed after this.
Austin did master the five stage of the Grand Body Refining Skill.
Till the time he gathered his physical strength, he emitted dazzling earthy yellow light. And once he
clenched his fist, a deafening sound came from his body.
His physical strength had reached a whopping one hundred and fifty million pounds.
He could even punch a cultivator who was at the premium stage of Emperor Realm to death.
After mastering the fifth stage of the Grand Body Refining Skill, Austin could prevail over most Emperor
Realm cultivators by mere physical strength.
But he wasn''t sure if he could defeat a Divine Bridge Realm master using only his physical power.
