The Supreme God

Wow! Mindy's eyes sparkled as she was looking at the Space Ring. "Austin, it's too precious. You should keep it."
Mindy loved the Space Ring so much. However, she thought that she was not deserving for that ring that was so valuable.
"You don't have to worry. I have another Space Ring which is better than this one. Since you have reached Earth Realm in
cultivation base, it's time for you to have a Space Ring to store useful things. These vital energy crystals and pills will be helpful
for the survival of your clan. Go on! Take it."
As being direct and straightforward as she was, Mindy did not refuse anymore and took it.
"Thank you very much, Austin. You have been giving us so much of your help lately. I really don't know how to repay your
kindness," Mindy said in a sincere manner.
Austin slightly laughed. "Don't be bothered anymore. We are friends. You don't owe me anything," Austin said.
"Oh, I almost forgot. Our clan head asked me to give it to you."
Mindy quickly took out a book from her bag and handed it to Austin.
"What's this?"
Austin was curious. He gently took the book from Mindy's hand and saw its title "Elixir Foundation" on the cover.
Austin's eyes widened in surprise.
"Is this the ..."
"You're right. One of my ancestors got this ancient book "Elixir Foundation" by chance. It was hidden in a secret place for many
years by our clan leader. Despite the torture, he didn't tell the Li Clan about this place.
And now, he had just regained this book.
Our leader said that without your help, we wouldn't have destroyed the Li Clan and our clan might not survive. So we should
share this book with you. He spent a whole night to copy it and asked me to give it to you as a reward."
Austin knew that pill refiners was very popular, so he felt a little yearned for this magical and noble skill of pill refining.

Austin was pleasantly surprised to get the Elixir Foundation so he did not refuse. He put it into his Space Ring and planned to
study the pill refining method in the future.
'Each kind of pill that was refined by those refiners is extremely expensive, so if I can make some pills, I will surely make a
fortune!' Austin thought.
.. .. ..
"Since all the brigands in the Black Mountain Fortress were killed, there would be no difficulty in rebuilding the Zhang Clan.
Mindy, I have to go back to our sect. What's your plan? Would you like to go with me? With your current competence, I'm sure
you can rank to top three. You are powerful and can perform better now," Austin said without a doubt after keeping the copy of
the Elixir Foundation.
Mindy was a little surprised. Even though she was hesitant to leave Austin, she knew that the Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking
Challenge was coming soon and obviously, Austin was very interested in it.
"This is a critical time for our clan to get back on track. Even though the Li Clan seems to be destroyed, some of their members
escaped and still remain. So I can't leave for now, which means I can't go back to our sect for now," she answered in a serious
tone.
Mindy obviously showed more importance to rebuild the Zhang Clan rather than the Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge.
Moreover, her capabilities made her confident enough to know that she would make a great performance when she joined the
competition next time.
Austin figured out what Mindy was thinking so he just nodded to agree and quickly waved goodbye to Mindy before getting back
to Sun Sect with Violet.
To avoid attracting other people's attention, Violet was still hiding in the Illusion Bead.
Two days later, Austin and Violet finally arrived at Sun Sect.
Austin realized that there were only two days left before the Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge taking place. He felt a
bit challenging but excited.
Evan and Herbert had been practicing for days since Austin left. Even those disciples who just joined them spent most of their
time in cultivating. All of them took the competition seriously. They maximized all the time they had for preparation.

Austin had given a thousand vital energy crystals as reward to each of the disciples. It was already quite a fortune for an ordinary
outer disciple.
Normally, it was good enough for an ordinary disciple to get several hundred vital energy crystals every year. So a thousand of it
would be a huge amount for him.
The disciples followed Austin's instructions and spent all the vital energy crystals on purchasing things for cultivation and began
to practice hard. They trained from sunrise until sunset every day of the week. They wasted no single time to prepare for the
competition.
Before they joined Austin's team, they had been busy on earning vital energy crystals to buy things for cultivation. They never
had enough time to focus on cultivation process alone. That was why they were pleased to have Austin as their leader.
Evan and Herbert had got twenty thousand vital energy crystals from Austin. They used them all for their cultivation and gave so
much of their attention to practice. Finally, after all the days of hard work they seemed to show signs of breakthrough. Soon, they
were likely to reach a new level in vital energy cultivation base.
Austin was very pleased with his people. These men knew very much how to take use of their resources.
He came back to the big yard he had got from Marvin and began to make preparation for the challenge in two days. He put his
head to the game very well that he let no one to bother him.
Austin was in the practicing room, quietly seated with crossed legs. He took out his Space Ring to count his possessions. He
seemed to gain a lot in Valley Town this time.
The vital energy crystals piled up as if there was a hill in front of Austin. He was surprised and fulfilled at the same time.
He counted them and found that he had about 1.5 million vital energy crystals in total, which included more than 400, 000 pieces
from Raymond of Flaming Sun Valley, more than 700, 000 pieces from the head of the Zhang Clan named Zachary, and more
than 500, 000 pieces from Miller of Black Mountain Fortress.
He deducted those vital energy crystals he had given to Evan, Herbert and the disciples who followed him. The remaining vital
energy crystals he had now was about 1.5 million.
Austin showed a big smile. He never expected that he would have made such a big fortune, and now, it was out in front of him.

"With this fortune, I do not need to worry about things for cultivation for a while," he said to himself.
Even though Austin already reached the Earth Realm in vital energy cultivation, it did not give him the satisfaction. He set bigger
goals in the path of martial arts for himself. He knew that there was still a long way to go for him to be on par with those martial
arts masters.
As he continued to look at his Space Ring, he saw that he had a bigger gain, the copy of the Elixir Foundation.
Since he was still busy, he decided to study it just after the Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge.
Austin thought about the Overlord Body-refining Formula.
It would cost about 1 million vital energy crystals to cultivate level two of the formula. After completing this level of the practice, a
cultivator's skin and bones would be as hard as iron and he could withstand a full blow from the Energy Gathering Realm
cultivators by just the body. Besides, he could hit 5000 pounds with each fist.
When he just got the Overlord Body-refining Formula, a million had been a huge number for him. But now, since he owned more
than 1.5 million vital energy crystals, he was able to practice stage two of the Overlord Body-refining Formula.
He thought that if he accomplished this level, he would be more capable to protect himself with 5000 pounds in each punch and
an extremely sturdy physical build.
"I would be another step closer into my goal in the martial arts cultivation using this," he said to himself. So Austin decided that
after the end of the Top Ten Outer Disciples Ranking Challenge, he would buy the materials needed for the Overlord Body-
refining Formula cultivation.
