COMING OF THE MARTIAL GOD, VOLUME 2 - Season 5 Episode 68

Austin was surprised to see an old man inside the log cabin. The old man was standing with his hands behind his back as if he was expecting to see Austin at that time.

Austin, on the other hand, didn’t expect to see anyone inside that log cabin.

‘Hey…Who could this be?’ He couldn’t believe what he was seeing and could only wonder to himself.

The old man with long silver hair in black robe looked quite scary and mysterious to Austin.

The old man’s eyes were as deep as the black hole, but they looked rather peaceful. Austin’s nape felt cold as the old man looked at him directly. He also felt as if the old man was scanning him thoroughly.

When the soul in his Soul Sea quivered and had a tendency of flying out, he was taken aback quickly and had to raise his defense and alertness at once. Austin had never been so scared and panicky in his life.

But as he moved, he noticed that the heavy spiritual sense that made it difficult for him to move outside the cabin had finally disappeared.

Without the spiritual sense inside the log cabin, he could freely move at will.

“I’ve been waiting for so long for someone to come, and I already lost count of the years. I’ve lost hope that someone could make it here alive. But alas! Here you are!”

The old man’s voice sounded like from ancient time as he slowly spoke these words to Austin.

“I apologize for the intrusion. I’m Austin. I don’t know if I should say this, but it’s nice to meet you, sir.

I accidentally broke in here without your notice. Again, I apologize for that and hope you can forgive me,” Austin said sincerely. His eyes were apologetic with his hands cupped as a sign of respect. His intuition told him that the old man standing in front of him was not just an ordinary martial artist. Therefore, it was just appropriate that he showed great respect for the old man.

“Don’t worry. You’re not overstepping on anything. But if I may ask, you came for the treasure in Mysterious Nether World, didn’t you?”

A slight smile crossed the mysterious old man’s wrinkled face. “It surprised me that someone like you could enter my living place despite the heavy spiritual sense. And now, you’re here inside my cabin.”

“If I may ask, what’s your name, sir?” Austin asked respectfully.

“You asked for my name? I’ve died hundreds of years ago, so I believe that no one would even recognize me and remember my name. But since you made it here alive, I owe it to you. My first name is Angus, and my last name is An. You can call me by my last name. But I must tell you, young man. What you’re seeing is just a part of my soul,” the old man said.

The old man had died hundreds of years ago?

Austin was stunned. He carefully observed the old man and from what he had sensed, he could tell that the old man’s body was indeed different from a normal living person’s body. It was surreal.
Austin marveled at the old man’s secret which could make a part of his soul last for hundreds of years.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but don’t be surprised. In fact, this small valley is a special array that I made to nourish souls. Therefore, I could make my broken soul last for hundreds of years instead of disappearing in the world,” Angus said with a smile. It appeared that he could read what was in Austin’s mind at that time.

“I really admire your superior technique!” Austin said sincerely. He hadn’t heard about a technique that could preserve one’s soul for hundreds of years with only an array. Although he hadn’t fully understood it, he was still in awe of what one could do with such a technique.

“Young man, it’s not easy to enter my array and see me at the same time. But since you made it this far, it only proves that you have such great spiritual sense and persistence.

Now, release your spiritual sense and condense it in front of you. Let me see what you got,” Angus said suddenly.

Austin hesitated for a moment because he didn’t know why this old man wanted to see his spiritual sense. But since he didn’t feel any ill will from Angus, he did it as he told after a few seconds of hesitation.

He concentrated his mind and body.

Using his mental strength, he extracted all spiritual sense from his Soul Sea and condensed it in front of Angus.

Austin released his spiritual sense and covered a diameter of nine thousand meters around him.

The condensed spiritual sense, it gradually spread out like waves in the air that was visible to the naked eye.

Although his cultivation base was at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm, Austin believed that his spiritual sense was even more powerful than most Sky Realm cultivators.

“In my honest assessment, your spiritual sense is still weak. But that’s just as expected since you’re just seventeen years old.

Young man, you are the first person I met in the five hundred years that I’m here.

Fate had indeed brought you here. I believe we’re meant to meet at this very moment.

Are you into medicine refining, young man?” Angus stared at Austin with a smile. The old man knew that Austin didn’t just accidentally broke into his place. There was a deep reason for Austin’s presence in his old cabin.

“I am. But to be honest, I just learned about medicine refinement through self-study,” Austin said. As he spoke, he reached out his hand and a light golden flame came out on his palm.

“Oh? I must say that you have somehow learned the medicine refinement quite good on your own. Well, I’m a medicine refiner myself. My medicine refinement skill was not that bad. But I have no use to it now. So, how about I pass down my skill of medicine refinement to you?

I know medicine refinement is taken lightly by many. But don’t belittle such skill.

If a martial artist wants to strengthen his cultivation, he will need a large number of resources and medicine. Speaking of medicine, elixirs are the most important and essential of all the resources.

If you achieve proficiency in medicine refinement, you can speed up your cultivation with the medicine that you refined by yourself.

In addition, being a medicine refiner will give you a noble status, thus gaining respect from others in the martial arts world.

And if you can refine high-quality medicine, no matter where you go, you will be given well treatment. You will be like a moon surrounded by stars!”

Angus explained.

Austin knew so much about medicine refinement. While he was self-studying on medicine refining, he gained a deep understanding of its benefit. There was nothing that he didn’t know from what Augustus had said but he didn’t dare to interrupt. He just nodded in agreement. But the fact that Angus would pass down his medicine Refinement knowledge to Austin was something the latter was truly looking forward to.
