Chapter 51 The 500 Vital Energy Crystals Reward

For three days, Marvin pursued and searched for Austin, but his quarry seemed to have just disappeared. No one had seen him either.

And the thought of some two dozen earth spiritual fruits made Marvin mad.

The young disciple, who was head of the practicing group, looked at the portrait of another young follower of the Sun Sect in the paper and shook his head.

"I've never seen this disciple before. Everyone, come and have a look. Has anyone ever seen him?" He was replying to Marvin and addressing his group members.

A slender girl with a lovely face came over and picked up the paper to look at the picture. Others also checked it out carefully.

After looking, they all shook their heads to indicate they had never seen the young man before.

With a forlorn expression, the group's leader returned the paper to Marvin and said, "Sorry, but none of us have seen him." Though sad to not be of help, secretly he was in awe of the unknown disciple.

His remark left Marvin looking sullen, his face long.

At the look on Marvin's face, the group was worried that he would be unhappy with their reply.

All five members of the group were well aware of Marvin's strength.

In case the two sides clashed, it was highly possible that Marvin would defeat their group, even if they had five members going against just one.

And with them in the Beast Mountain now, Marvin could beat the group for no reason at all and still be blameless.

Without saying anything, Marvin stared at the five people before him.

"Remember the face clearly, and help me tell other outer disciples in the Beast Mountain about him. If they find the man, they must report it to me.

I will offer a reward of five hundred vital energy crystals for any information on his whereabouts," Marvin declared.

That said, he handed the paper back to the leader of the group.

The group was startled by a loud thud as a black bag landed in front of their leader.

"This is thirty vital energy crystals. It will be yours if you help me spread the word to others. Otherwise, you know what can happen to you," he threatened.

There was a feeling of great relief after the five heard Marvin say he was not inclined to fight against them.

The relief was quickly replaced by glee.

Five hundred vital energy crystals as a reward!

Most outdoor disciples in the Beast Mountain fought against level one diabolic beasts and demonic beasts to get beast cores.

Only a few with great power ever attempted to destroy level two beasts.

The price of a level one beast core was usually ten or a dozen vital energy crystals.

It boggled their minds how many level one beasts they had to kill to earn five hundred vital energy crystals!

When they finally realized what Marvin was offering, they became excited. To earn five hundred vital energy crystals, all they had to do was to find one person.

That should be much easier than killing powerful beasts.

It took a split-second for the five to read each other's minds aft

white.

He counted the fruits and there were twenty-three of them.

Examining the fruits, Austin noted a soft luster in its surface.

A natural fragrance also pervaded the cave's interiors.

There was extremely dense vital energy beyond the fruit's surface that came to Austin.

Sensing the dense vital energy from the earth spirit fruits, the young man was encouraged to indulge in them.

His body accidentally absorbed some of the vital energy it gave off. It seemed equivalent to the vital energy he usually absorbed for five days.

Austin was in awe and could not help acclaim the fruits in his mind.

'The earth spirit fruit truly deserves the reputation it enjoys.'

And because of this, Austin vowed not to waste it especially because of the great effort he exerted to obtain them.

He waved his hand and the motion made twenty-two fruits return to his space ring.

He then opened his mouth and popped the one fruit left inside it.

What followed was a wonderful burst of flavor in his tongue.

The taste was superb. Austin had never eaten a fruit as wonderful as this one he had sampled.

It just wasn't the taste that amazed Austin.

Because just as he was savoring the fruit, he suddenly felt vital energy flows oozing out of the fruit as it went down his throat. And the energy flows were twice as potent as the Energy-boosting Elixir.

The vital energy flowed like a great river inside his body and soon they permeated every cell of his body.

At the same time, Austin felt pain as if the vital energy flowing inside him was too much for his body to channel, and it seemed as if these channels were stretching.

It was unexpected that the earth spirit fruits should contain such strong vital energy.

Austin certainly didn't expect it and was greatly frightened. But he quickly sat on his feet and got ready to absorb the vital energy seriously.

He started the Purple Yang Formula to its maximum and tried to direct the vital energy flows inside his body.
