Austin's eyes grew ten times larger as he looked at the middle-aged man's treasures. Almost like it was a dream, he reached out
his hand and touched it. Momentarily, he wished he could located more cultivators at the Heavenly Grotto Realm; that way, he
could be even richer.
He gathered the fortunes and split them up with Isis so he could thank her for her help collecting them. A smile grew on her face
when he provided her with three semi-omnipotent herbs. Who would've thought of that? It was the semi-omnipotent herb, which
would drive every cultivator from the Divine Continent crazy at the mere sight of it! Now she was holding three of them! How lucky
she was!
"I plan to cultivate in seclusion under the ground for a while. | don't know how long it will take me. What about you? Do you have
any plans? Or is there any place you want to go?"
Austin said to Isis.
"Thanks for asking, but | think I'll just wait for you."
Given the choice, Isis would prefer to wait for days than to venture into the unknown alone. After all, she was still the target of
attack.

On their journey so far, she had seen how dangerous the vast bloody desert was. The terrain was confusing and there were beasts
and other cultivators that wouldn't hesitate to hurt or kill her. Being with Austin kept her safe and she wasn't about to leave
without him.
Nodding, Austin pocketed the rest of his fortune and sent Isis into the Slave Tower to wait for him. Nothing could touch her there,
so he knew he wouldn't have to worry about her while he was cultivating. Turning around, he lifted his fists and punched the
ground a few times, resulting in a crack that was a few hundred meters wide.
Austin jumped down to the bottom of the crack and as he looked up, he waved his hand. On the surface of the crack, the wind
picked up and began surging, whistling loudly. In seconds, the crack had been refilled with sand, leaving Austin in darkness.
Closing his eyes, he teleported into the Slave Tower. His feet landed on the floor of the secret cultivation room on the ninth floor.
Even though he knew he would be alone, his eyes swept the room.
After ensuring it was safe, Austin took out the Pot of Chaos and all the materials he needed, placing them around his body.
The materials included six thousand superior herbs, a variety of precious natural materials, five semi-omnipotent herbs, and three
ancient beast corpses: the golden fire lion, the white jade tiger, and the nine-headed python.
He could have kept the five semi-omnipotent herbs for later since the remaining liquid still contained the power of semi-
omnipotent herb in it from the last tAustin had refined it, but he knew that the more treasures from heaven and earth he used,
the better the effect would be for the cultivation of this Immortal Body Refining Formula, and Austin was not stingy; not when it
cto cultivation.
Without giving it a second thought, Austin waved his hand and a scarlet tree plopped into the middle of the room. It was the golden
body fruit tree and although it was extremely valuable, he would sacrifice its fruits to cultivate.
There had been about a dozen fruits when he obtained the tree but now there were only nine. Austin had already given sof
the fruits to Isis. They fought together to obtain the tree, so she should have her share. Still, nine was still more than enough.
"Ten thousand years to bloom, ten thousand years to bear fruit, and another ten thousand years for them to ripen. So, that means |
will have to wait for another thirty thousand years before | can collect the fruits again. Is it worth waiting for? What should | do
now?
Well, there's no way | can wait that long! | guess | will just have to use the entire tree for my cultivation,"
Austin said to himself while his eyes surveyed the blood red tree.

Sighing, he stepped up to the tree and plucked the nine golden fruits. He placed them in his pockets and stepped back to look at
the barren tree.
He would no longer have any of these fruits left after he used the entire tree for cultivation. However, it was such a precious
resource for cultivation and he might not have the chance to find another one even during the rest of his life! How could he keep it
all to his own? So he planned to give at least the fruits to Caroline, Ivy, and Sue. The rest of the tree would be enough for him.
They would be grateful for these fruits, especially since they were extinct in the Divine Continent. Try as they might, Austin would
never sell them for any amount of money to anyone; he had never held such valuable items.
Turning back to the pot, Austin waved his hand and four Unearthly Fires rushed into the Pot of Chaos. Out of the top of it, four fires
blazed. Each one was a different color that twisted and licked into a rainbow that reached the celling.
Austin grabbed one item at a tand finally threw all of them into the Pot of Chaos. Every time, he had to step backwards to
avoid the heat from the Unearthly Fire as it burped out more flames and engulfed each item.
At last, all the items had been added to the fire and Austin could step into the Pot of Chaos and start refining himself.
Austin engraved complicated and mysterious runes on every inch of his body. Then he scooped up the liquid the fire had made
from his items and rubbed it on his body. Once he was covered, he stepped into the middle of the flames of the Unearthly Fire.
Everything around him beca part of him. As it combined, he listed off the ingredients in his head: semi-omnipotent herbs,
thousands of superior herbs above the sixth grade, the heavenly fire bamboos, the fish with primordial masculine energy and the
fish with primordial feminine energy, three beast corpses from ancient time, and a two-meter-high golden body fruit tree.
