Before he had left the Imperial Capital City of the Violet Orchid Empire, Austin had bought a lot of fourth and fifth-grade elixirs to practice his pill refining skills.
Today, he had refined nine fourth-grade Sunset Elixirs for Michelle. Austin's pill refining skills had improved a lot and he had also gained much experience and new comprehension into this skill.
As a master of pill refining, Angus had passed his knowledge and experiences on to Austin, so all that Austin lacked now was practice.
If he kept practicing pill refining and carefully took in all the fruits of Angus's life-long labors, he would not encounter any obstacles in his skills advancement. In essence, Austin had the whole guide to pill refining in his soul sea, thanks to Angus.
Therefore as long as Austin practiced continuously, he would continue to make rapid progress in his pill refining skills.
Now, Austin wanted to start refining some fifth-grade pills. Once he succeeded, he would become a fifth-grade pill refiner!
It was no exaggeration to say that a fifth-grade pill refiner would be a legend in the Violet Orchid Empire.
Austin believed that, even in a big empire like the Heavenly Dragon Holy Kingdom, fifth-grade pill refiners held a lofty portion in their society.
The fifth-grade pill which Austin was attempting to refine this time was called the Energy-advancing Elixir.
The Energy-advancing Elixir could restore all lost vital energies. It was widely used by the masters of the Imperial Real. So it was in general almost a requisite elixir for masters of the Imperial Realm.

Austin felt a little uneasy because it was quite inappropriate for a girl to visit with a man in his room at night.
"I...I brought you a change of clothes," she explained with a low and soft voice.
She set the clothes on the table. Dropping her head to avoid his eyes, her beautiful face blushed a becoming scarlet color.
"Thank you very much, Miss Michelle. But please ask a maid to do this next time. You don't have to bother yourself with such menial tasks."
Austin smiled awkwardly. "Miss Michelle," he continued with his eyes fixed on her in a near state of rapture, "if there's anything I can help with, please just tell me."
Austin knew there must be something unusual that she wanted, or Michelle wouldn't have just come to him at midnight. So he asked straightforward, not wanting ambiguity between them.
Hearing his words, Michelle's body stiffened for a moment. She bit her lip in hesitation. Drawing an uncertain breath, she told him everything that had happened on the mine that day.
The herbal pot gave off a delicate fragrance as Michelle's voice rose in the quiet room, just like a melody.
