The Supreme God of Martial Arts

After hearing what Austin said, Foster knew that he couldn't do anything else to change Austin's mind to leave Elder Drew behind.

"Well, you can stay here if you want," he said in a defeated tone.

"But you have to promise me—if you feel like you are going to be in danger, you must leave immediately and find me.

Although Elder Drew enjoys a very high position in our sect, he still has to obey the decisions made by the Elder Council," he explained, his face now serious.

"You know what? Take this jade slip. There is the message on there that the Elders from the Elder Council left for Drew.

When you want to leave this place, just give this jade slip to Elder Drew and he will let you leave," he finished, handing a jade slip to Austin. Concern was visible on his face.

Austin took it and put it aside.

Foster was about to leave when all of a sudden, he stopped in his tracks. His head whipped around, as if he was sensing danger. In fact, he sensed that three strong cultivators were approaching.

Three figures were slowly materialized in the sky, and they were headed towards Drew's residence.

Not a second after that, the three already landed in front of Austin and Foster.

Two of them were appealing women, while the other one was a handsman.

At the sight of the three, Austin panicked. He lowered his head hurriedly to avoid making eye contact with them.

The only man among the three was Mr. Gold Hand, the Holy Son of Magic Hand Sect.

As for the two girls, one was the Holy Daughter of New Moon Sect and the other was Isis.

'What are they doing here?’ Austin wondered curiously.

"Sir," Foster greeted deferentially, coming forward and bowing in front of the young man.

Holy Sons played a very important role in a sect and because of that, they were highly respected.

Austin heard that there could be two to three Holy Sons or Holy Daughters in a sect.

Simply put, they were the running candidates to be the next sect leader.

It meant that almost all the sect leaders used to be Holy Sons or Holy Daughters.

That was why the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters received much prestige and respect from the people of the sects—they would be their future leaders.

Stewards, on the other hand, were only intermediate managerial staff of a sect.

That was why Foster acted in a humble manner in front of Mr. Gold Hand.

"Marsh, chere and greet our Holy Son," Foster said to Austin.

Reluctant as he was, Austin moved forward and stopped before the Holy Son.

"Greetings, sir. My nis Marsh," he politely addressed, keeping his head low to avoid meeting Mr. Gold Hand's eyes.

"Oh? Who are you?" Mr. Gold Hand asked, looking puzzled.

"Sir, I'm Elder Drew's new refinery assistant," Austin replied.

"I see. You're lucky to meet Elder Drew. I'm sure you'll learn a lot from him," Mr. Gold Hand said with a fake smile on his face.

Through his tone, Austin could clearly hear that he was gloating.

‘Looks like all the people in the Magic Hand Sect know Drew is dangerous, ' Austin thought.

"But where is Elder Drew?" Mr. Gold Hand asked.

"Elder Drew is off to collect herbs. He will be back in two or three days," Austin replied.

He could only hope that Mr. Gold Hand and the two girls would just leave immediately.

"I see. Ladies, looks like it's not a good time. Elder Drew is out for picking herbs.

How about you stay in our sect while you wait for him to cback? The moment he is back, I'll immediately ask him to refine elixirs for you," Mr. Gold Hand said gallantly, turning to the Holy Daughter of New Moon Sect.

It was apparent that he was trying his hardest to please Winnie, the Holy Daughter of the New Moon Sect.

Winnie, however, looked visibly disappointed.

"Fine," she said dejectedly after thinking for a while.

"It seems like my spiritual soul got badly injured when | fought with Austin.

If I don't take a Soul-healing Elixir soon, I'm afraid that my condition would only get worse.

So | guess | have no choice but to stay here for a few days. | hope it will not cause you much trouble," she finished, her tone now very apologetic.

"Please don't say that, Miss Winnie. It's my honor to have you be my guest," Mr. Gold Hand replied, his smile sweet.

"I will get two fine rooms for you. Please, don't ever feel like you're burdening me." Deep inside, he was overjoyed.

He gestured at Winnie and Isis to get out of Drew's residence.

Hearing this, Austin was much relieved. ‘Finally! It took forever before this guy took these two girls out of there!" he thought. . ..

When Isis walked past Austin, however, she suddenly paused in her tracks.

"Hold up.

You," she said, gesturing to Austin. "Lift your head up." Her tone was icy, and so was her stare on Austin.

Austin felt his heart stop.

You have got to be kidding me! | altered my appearance, how did she still recognize me? Did she recognize my soul or my aura with ssecret weapon? Or did she practice sarcane spell?’ Questions started flooding Austin's head.

Although Appearance-transforming Clothes could transform one's appearance, it couldn't change one's spiritual soul or aura.

Austin was ready to run away at any time.

‘Once Isis recognizes me, | have to flee the headquarters of the Magic Hand Sect as fast as | could.

Otherwise, | will be in a lot of trouble, ' he staunchly decided.

Despite Austin being flustered inwardly, he didn't show any sign of panic on his face. Raising his head, he pretend to stare at Isis in bewilderment.

Isis sized him up, and furrowed her eyebrows.

"I've never seen him before.

But why do | find him so annoying?’ Isis mused in her head, confusion in her eyes.

"Something is wrong with you.

This might sound weird, but | somehow detest you," Isis said, studying Austin.

Austin was glad that Isis hadn't recognized him yet.

But he couldn't help but feel speechless at what Isis said.

'It looks like she really hates me. Even though | changed my appearance, she still dislikes me!" At the thought of that, Austin knew that he would be exposed if he didn't do anything.

Suddenly an idea dawned on him. He stole a quick glance at Isis's large breasts.

He even feigned to swallow his saliva.

At that moment, he looked like a lewd young man.

Austin's plan worked. Isis cast him a furious stare, and immediately her suspicion towards him vanished.

She hated lecherous men the most.

And with that, she thought that she found out the reason for her aversion towards a stranger.

"What's up, Isis?" the Holy Daughter of New Moon Sect asked.

"Nothing. Let's get going, Winnie," Isis replied without sparing Austin another glance.

Soon Mr. Gold Hand took the lead and the three flew out of Drew's residence. . ..

It wasn't until the three were out of sight that Austin's mind was set at ease.

‘She almost recognized me, ' he thought.

It was only then did he find out that he had gotten little beads of sweat on his back.

"Marsh, | have to go," Foster said, as he turned to him.

"Keep one thing in mind: once you sense danger, give that jade slip to Elder Drew. He will let you leave," he reminded him one last time.

Austin was kind of touched by this. 'He really cares about me, ' he thought.

Two days after that, Austin becfocused on refining Earth Scorching Elixir.

During that period, Austin had used more than ten portions of the medicinal materials but he only ended up with failures.

Despite that, he had a feeling that he was close to being a fifth-level pill refiner.

He was confident that he would make it very soon.

‘Perhaps | lack practice.

As long as | continue to refine and accumulate more experience, | will be able to refine fifth-level pills, ' he thought. . ..

The third day then came.

Guessing that Drew would cback that day, he stopped refining elixirs and put aside his purple herbal pot.

He took out the two jade slips, and pretended to study the knowledge inside the slip as he was told to.

Soon enough, his speculation was proven to be right.

Elder Drew cback at noon.

"I finally got all the herbs | need! Marsh, get ready. We're going to refine the elixir!" he said, laughing out loud.
