Chapter 257 Austin Got The Pair Of Eagle Wings (Part Two)
Among all these things, the jade bottles containing elixirs caught Austin's eyes first. There were altogether over a dozen of them.
He unplugged a couple of the bottles to see what was inside. However, the levels and qualities of the elixirs collected by Steward
Meng were insignificant compared to the ones Austin found in the Cloud Cave, which were left by the Great Sage Cloud.
Even though the elixirs were not up to the mark, it was a great fortune for ordinary cultivators and would evoke envies among
many people.
The next objects to catch the attention of both Austin and Violet were the vital energy crystals.
They fixed their eyes on them and wondered why they seemed to be different from the ones they were used to seeing.
The crystals were indeed different from their brightness, their luster, their color, their saturation and the spiritual energy they
contained. They were far more improved and better than the run-of-the-mill ones that people got to see on a daily basis.
'Aren't they the refined vital energy crystal people always talk about?' Austin thought.
He picked one of them by his hands and tried to feel the vital energy force it contained. To his surprise, the crystal proved to be
hundreds of times higher than that of an ordinary crystal.
Austin drove the force a little and felt it gave out a stream of pure vital energy, which ran into his palm and then into his energy
meridians.
As he expected a moment ago, this kind of vital energy crystal could be used to cultivate, and cultivators could directly absorb
vital energy from it. In this great world, wonders never cease to happen.
"Violet, it was true!" Austin exclaimed. "Earlier, I thought of it as just a rumor, but today I experienced it myself. This kind of vital
energy can be used to cultivate directly. Everything comes to people who wait!
You know what? The vital energy force contained in each crystal is more than you can ever imagine, and I can tell that it is as
much as that of two Energy-prevailing Elixirs!" Austin said, his voice trembling with excitement.
He looked and sounded very confident about it.
"Wow, I still can't believe it, Violet! It's real! And this kind of vital energy crystal can be used directly in our process of cultivation.
We need to pay more attention to find more of them, and then we will get double the result by doing half the work!"
Shortly afterward, Austin noticed there was a worn-out, black scroll among all other things, and it looked like a round peg in a
square hole. It was rolled up and he was unable to see what was on it. It might be the thing he expected the most now.
He took it by his hands but didn't open it immediately. He took a deep breath first to calm down and then untied the string, which
was neatly twined on the scroll. The scroll was unfolded slowly in front of Austin's eyes, and it was indeed what he was looking
for.
"The original owner of 'this pair of Eagle Wings' was a flaming violet eagle. Later, it was captured by a cultivator, who took its
wings in a mysterious way. Then a skilled weapon refiner forged them into what they looked like now with all sorts of rare
materials that he could lay his hands on.
That violet eagle was a sixth level flying diabolic beast, and according to the legend, it had the blood of the ancient Phoenix. It
could fly at a startling speed and was one of the fastest flying beasts people ever knew. But it was a cruel and cunning creature
and it was hard for people to even get close to it. This kind of eagle could only be found in the far south of this land.
Thus, it took lots of hard works to refine these wings, and such opportunities do not come by easily!" Austin read.
Exactly as he had thought, it carried information about the Eagle Wings and described where these wings came from briefly at
the beginning. Austin kept reading.
As the details about the wings got unfolded, it left Austin shocked. He swallowed as he internalized the information he read.
A diabolic beast of the sixth level was equivalent to a cultivator of the Mysterious Realm.
What was more, if a cultivator of Mysterious Realm mastered the skill of flying, he or she would be far more difficult to deal with
than the ordinary ones.
Evidently, if a cultivator soared high into the clouds, how could his enemies get hold of him on the ground? They could do
nothing but watch him fly.
"I really appreciate the cultivator who captured this flying beast!" Austin exclaimed again and again.
He was curious how this predecessor refined these wings.
He was wondering what level this predecessor had achieved and what special skills he mastered, but no one could give Austin
an answer.
"Master, I believe that this predecessor must be stronger than cultivators of the Mysterious Realm. Otherwise, it would have been
impossible for him to capture a flying diabolic beast of the sixth level!" Violet voiced her opinion in unison with Austin's
observation of the Eagle Wings.
Austin nodded to her in approval.
"Right! This world is much larger than we can imagine, and talents are appearing constantly! Just regardless of what cultivation
base this predecessor got, he could think out the method to refine a pair of wings for cultivators to fly in the sky. He is a miracle
already!" Austin praised from the bottom of his heart.
And Violet nodded in agreement with him.
Then Austin took a few deep breaths and calmed his mind and carefully read the scroll till the end, emphasizing especially on the
parts describing how to fly with these wings.
It turned out to be easy as long as he understood the technique. And thereafter, all he needed to do was refining the techniques
according to the words on the scroll.
Austin read it several times until he could memorize the formula, and then he put the scroll back into the space ring. After that,
he took one of the two wings in one hand.
The next moment, he drove his vital energy circulating in a certain route, and as his vital energy ran across him, a special force
was formed and then transferred to the wings gradually.
After receiving enough energy, the wings suddenly gave out a piercing cry like a real eagle, and they emitted a bright black light.
Then the wings began to flap as if they were alive.
Both wings started flapping faster and faster. And all fallen leaves and even pebbles in the place where Austin was standing got
swept away from the ground.
Austin sensed that these wings were going to soar high in the sky, and he could hardly hold them back. He was afraid that they
would fly away at any moment.
He hurriedly called out his thousand-pound force to keep them under his control.
The wings struggled a moment and then stopped flapping. They gave another sharp cry, which could thrill a human's soul as if
they had taken Austin as their master. The next moment, these wings suddenly turned into two flashes, which pierced into
Austin's palms separately and ran along his arms to his back.
With a loud thud, a pair of eagle wings popped out from Austin and flapped on his back.
A weird feeling ran through Austin's heart, and he felt that these wings had blended with his body to become an extension of his
own body.
As long as he wanted to move them, they would move like his own hands or legs. Austin didn't wait but flapped his wings, and as
he did so, he realized that he had risen from the ground.
Within one blink of his eyes, Austin was floating over ten meters above the ground in the wind.
"Wow, wonderful!" he shouted out loud in excitement.
He tried to control the Eagle Wings with his mind and practiced how to fly.
After several times, he had mastered the flying skill and could fly as freely as a bird.
"Violet, did you see it? I can fly now!"
He shouted in exuberance like a little boy, and this was the first time he acted like that ever since he had stepped into this
world.
