Chapter 230 Medicine Sect
Confusion filled Austin upon hearing Violet. Thus, he shot her a questioning glance.
"Master, have you ever wondered why a demonic beast like me roamed on the land where humans gather? Why do you think I
was at the place where you caught me? Shouldn't I be in the mountains where demonic beasts belong?"
"I haven't actually thought about those things, Violet. Can you tell me why?"
responded Austin in a serious tone.
"I'm here because I'm looking for the powerful crystal."
"Powerful crystal? What is that?"
"Powerful crystals are very rare and precious natural resource. It contains a tremendous power which is even more valuable than
human life or any diabolic beast.
Even we, nine-tailed demon foxes find it very important. My power will definitely advance at least ten times faster if I can get one
of those powerful crystals.
I had been staying in the Grand Desolation Mountain before. Then I heard from other diabolic beasts that there are powerful
crystals deeply hidden inside a place called Cloud Cave. Hence, I decided to come where the humans are and secretly look for
the cave. It was when I met you, Master."
Nodding his head casually, Austin finally understood Violet's reason. Thus, he asked, "So you have been looking for the power
crystals?"
"Yes. But I have been searching for five years now and still found nothing. For once, I thought the story wasn't true. I was already
planning to go back to the Grand Desolation Mountain when I encountered you, Master.
I have to get the powerful crystals this time, Master. It's the only thing I ever want all these years.
Moreover, you have already obtained your spiritual sense. Your spiritual sense will definitely multiply if you have some powerful
crystals too.
In addition, it is said that there are other kinds of treasures hidden in the Cloud Cave aside from the powerful crystals. Now I'm
wondering if you are interested in taking those crystals too or not."
Austin started to ponder upon hearing Violet's words. It was undeniable how Violet had helped him many times since he became
her master.
It was also noticeable how her cultivation base had not grown up within these years. It seemed that it was more difficult for
demonic beasts to break the thresholds of cultivation base than humans.
'I have only always been concerned about my strength alone and ignoring hers. It seems like I'm not a qualified master at all.
Moreover, if Violet can take her cultivation base to another level, she will definitely be more helpful.
My spiritual power will surely increase too if I could get some of those powerful crystals, '
thought Austin. He had decided to join Violet's quest in finding these powerful crystals during the next ten days.
Violet was ecstatic upon hearing Austin agree. She was smiling broadly and couldn't help blowing him a playful kiss.
Thus, after the two martial artists of Medicine Sect left the herb shop, Austin followed them behind.
Austin's body movements were quick and unpredictable. His spiritual sense could cover four hundred meters in diameter. Thus, it
was very easy for him to stalk the two without being noticed.
The two martial artists left Peace Town and headed northwest right after they left the shop.
The roads they took were rugged and remote.
Austin was following the two in a pace which was neither fast nor slow. He had heard from their conversation that the disciples
sent by the Medicine Sect were separated into groups strategically in their quest to find the Cloud Cave after they went into
Violet Orchid Empire. They did this to avoid being noticed. It was only when they found the Cloud Cave that they could send
messages to each other.
These two had been going on their way for two days and nights. They only ate when they were hungry and drank when they
were thirsty.
Four days after they found themselves standing before a dense jungle.
The two's spirits were suddenly lifted that they paced up and passed through the jungle quickly.
Austin's spirit was lifted as well as he could sense that the Cloud Cave was probably just nearby.
Half an hour later Austin felt the sun rays hit his skin. It seemed that he had come to the end of the jungle. Standing before him
now was a steep peak surrounded by broad open land.
Moreover, there were dozens of men in black standing on the land.
A bitter smile cracked Austin's lips as he thought, 'No wonder that the two guys from the Medicine Sect guessed that I'm one of
them. It turned out that the black long gown was actually a symbol of the Medicine Sect.'
Austin hid behind a giant tree to avoid being noticed. A few seconds after Violet came out from the Illusion Bead and turned into
her human form.
The two hopped up onto the tree and settled on a higher branch discreetly. Then they gave out their spiritual sense and listened
to every word the disciples below said.
All of the martial artists began talking about what they heard and saw in their journey to Violet Orchid Empire.
About half a day later, three white images suddenly appeared in the clear sky, speeding towards the open land in the speed of
lightning. Two of them were old men while the other looked as if he was in his middle age.
The fact that these three men were flying over the woods surprised both Austin and Violet.
A martial artist could only levitate once their vital energy reached Mysterious Realm! Though they couldn't really fly like birds,
martial artists of this level could stay in mid-air and move forward at a speed that was much faster than those martial artists who
could only run.
It was very easy to tell that the three white figures were powerful martial artists of Mysterious Realms. Differentiating them from
those Medicine Sect disciples was not even hard.
Austin and Violet instantly became alert and cautious that one couldn't even hear their breaths.
They were both aware that martial artist of Mysterious Realm had already developed their spiritual sense in such an exceptional
level.
Although Austin was confident of his power, he also knew that he wouldn't last longer than three seconds before a man from
Mysterious Realm. He knew that he and Violet would be killed in a snap once these three martial artists of Medicine Sect spotted
them.
Fortunately, the three martial artists in white robes were focused on what they needed to do and immediately led their disciples
to climb the peak. They didn't even notice Austin and Violet.
On the other hand, Austin and Violet dared not to stay too close to the group. They waited for the three martial artists to be out of
their sights first before they followed their direction sullenly.
They had already been climbing the steep mountain for quite a while when they suddenly heard a beast howling furiously.
"Bow-woo!"
The sound was so loud that it made the mountain tremble. The birds and the other animals fled with fear! The peace of the forest
was suddenly gone!
"What a mighty demonic beast it must be! It must have frightened the whole mountain!"
said Austin with shock. He could hear the howl echoing in his ear long after it was done.
He looked around and found Violet's seductively beautiful body trembling. Obviously, she was frightened as well.
"Master, if my guess is right, it is a sixth-grade diabolic beast. Where there are precious treasures, there sure is a diabolic beast
guarding it. I think this diabolic beast is guarding the Cloud Cave."
'What? A sixth-grade diabolic beast!'
