The monk waved his hand. A large pile of rare treasures and precious herbs appeared and floated inside the secret chamber.
Suddenly, the strong spiritual energy inside the chamber turned into a puff of fragrant mist. And slowly it was filling every inch of
the room.
These treasures and herbs were collected by the monk in the daytime.
Given his horrifying strength, those treasures and herbs that were collected by him must have been the top-grade ones.
"Sit down with your legs crossed. Focus your mind and get rid of all of the distracting thoughts!"
the monk said to Austin solemnly.
Austin immediately followed the instructions. He seated himself and began to meditate.
"Lettell you one thing. You may have to suffer a lot during the process of fusion.
After all, as a human being, you'll need to pay heavy prices to perfectly integrate the beast bones into your body."
The monk reminded Austin of the possible consequences he would have to suffer during the whole process.
"Yes, | have realized it!"
Austin replied respectfully and nodded.
"Okay then!"
The monk waved his hand. All kinds of rare treasures and precious herbs suddenly started to float around Austin's body.
He clenched his hand tightly and extracted the essence of those treasures and herbs.
Slowly the essence was moved across and forced into Austin's body by the monk.
While that happened, Austin released his spiritual sense. He was deeply impressed by the monk's method of extracting the
essence from those herbs and treasures at such a speed.
Being a pill refiner, Austin knew the excellence in the method and speed used by the monk at that time.
The monk was just awesin his powers and skills.
The essences were steadily and continuously flowing into Austin's body.
Austin started to feel a pain. It slowly increased and reached a point where he felt as if his body was being torn apart.
However, as a body refiner, Austin was not new to such trauma. He had suffered such kind of pain before.
Tpassed by. Sometimes it was slow, sometimes it went quickly.
"Well, now I'll try to force the blood and energy essence of the three-legged golden crow into your body.

As soon as you're done absorbing the essence, you can integrate your body with the beast bones,"
the monk elaborated.
He gently waved his hand and a ball of dazzling golden light appeared in his hand.
It was the blood and energy essence of the three-legged golden crow which he was unleashing.
The monk clapped his hands slowly. The ball of essence turned into a golden light and entered Austin's body in an instant.
"Oh my God! This...It's killing me."
That moment, Austin felt a terrible energy burning his flesh and soul. It seemed as if it was capable of burning a human's soul and
flesh to ashes.
Austin could not stop himself from screaming aloud in pain.
In the palace outside the secret chamber, Brady was meditating and recuperating. He too could hear Austin's painful screams.
"Ha ha! Master, you're just so lucky to meet this monk and receive his help.
| guess that after the integration of the three-legged golden crow's bones and blood essence your fighting skills surely will improve
to a great extent,"
Brady said with a knowing smile.
Inside the secret chamber, the flames were raging and burning up everything.
The horrifying flames filled every inch of the space in the room. Even the space shook and a small portion of it collapsed due to the
horrifying high temperature.
The dead three-legged golden crow was being too powerful for Austin.
It was not easy for Austin to absorb its energy. If it hadn't been for the monk's protection and support, very soon Austin would have
been burnt to nothing.
One day passed. Two days. It was three days now.
Outside the palace during these days, Brady was waiting patiently and quietly.
Twas slipping away.
Ten days had passed, and things inside the secret chamber seemed to have changed completely.
The sea of terrible golden flames had already disappeared, and the room becvery quiet.
Austin sat with his legs crossed, while the monk stood in a corner of the secret chamber. Both of them were meditating with eyes
closed.
Occasionally, the monk would check Austin's physical condition.
"Everything seems to be going well. So far so good.
This lad's physique and his ability to endure the pain are beyond my expectation.
Moreover, | have no reason to expect him to get the Dragon Formula and the secret skills of the red demonic mouse.
Now, he is able to absorb the blood and energy essence of the three-legged golden crow. He has got a handy and brilliant future
ahead of him."
The monk looked at Austin, with a smile on his calm face. It was quite clear that he appreciated Austin's talent and his
tenaciousness.
At that stime, the air with high temperature began wrapping Austin's body. If he released his aura even a bit, the space
around him would collapse.
"This guy is really lucky. He really has more treasures than me.
If I hadn't been in such a weird state, | would have tried to get those treasures from him!"
The monk couldn't stop himself from smiling when he thought of all the treasures he had found in Austin's body. He wished the
conditions had been different.
"Well, if he stays alive and continues to grow stronger, he will surely beca great master in the Immortal End World.
He might even step into the celestial-being state that | had once dreamed of!"
Looking at Austin who was sitting there quietly with his legs crossed, the monk couldn't help thinking of all kinds of things.
"Yes! It's not that bad.
It looks like he would need another two more days to achieve the perfect integration of his body and the bones of the three-legged
golden crow."
The monk nodded silently as he spoke to himself. Quietly he moved his body and walked out of the secret chamber.
Things were quiet even in the palace.
Brady was sitting on a cushion, cross-legged and thoughtful.
Suddenly, the monk appeared there. He walked ahead and stood in front of him.
"Oh sir! It's you! Sorry, | didn't see you coming."
Brady hurriedly apologized for his lack of courtesy on his side. He stood up and bowed respectfully before the monk.
"How is my master doing? Is he all right?"
Brady asked with concern. He was extremely anxious and nervous at the sight of the monk.
"He's fine! But he needs to spend another two days to complete his integration.

Now, he's at the most critical moment, and nothing can go wrong. Do you understand?"
the monk snapped at Brady.
"By the way, what are you right now? Are you a guardian spirit?"
The monk looked at Brady and asked. He seemed to be very curious.
"Yes, sir!"
Brady answered politely.
"Well, in that case, letguess. Probably you met a talented master, lost to him in a battle and was refined into a magic weapon
a long tago. | think that explains why you're a guardian spirit right now.
Now being a guardian spirit of a weapon, you must have found it nearly impossible to enhance your strength anymore, right?"
the monk presented his assumption.
"Yes! That's right.
| was ignorant, villainous and had done many evil things in the past. One day, | was captured by a competent master, and held as
a prisoner in a pagoda. Finally, | was refined into a guardian spirit.
Since then, however hard I've tried, my power has never increased."
There was a touch of undisguised disappointment in his tone as he recollected the past. It reminded him of a lot of things.
"Hmm! | understand.
Your race has already becvery rare or even extinct. | remember being told that in the ancient times, you guys were mighty
and powerful.
Besides being powerful, your race also made great contributions to the Immortal End World.
| think, you might be the only one left from your race, isn't it?
It's a pity that you can't cultivate and becstronger in the future.
Well, | think | know how you can becstronger, though you're nothing more than a guardian spirit.
However, forto help you in that, you'll have to ask for Austin's permission because you belong to him.
Sorry, but | can't help you until he agrees,"
the monk slowly told Brady about his offer.
"Really? Is that possible? Are you tellingthe truth?
Can | be a guardian spirit and continue to cultivate at the stime?"
Hearing the monk's words, Brady becextremely excited. His body started to tremble with excitement.
