A thousand vital energy crystals! That was an unbelievable amount of wealth.
The guards, servants and maids of the Austin Palace were mostly at the Energy Gathering Realm.
A thousand vital energy crystals was already a huge amount to the Energy Gathering Realm disciples of the five prominent sects, let alone to those people who served others.
Even if Austin didn't give them one penny, they would still serve him loyally like they did before.
That was why when Austin announced the news and told them to line up to receive the award, all of his two thousand followers were dumbstruck when they heard it.
They thought that what they heard was wrong! They couldn't believe their ears! "Master!" A beautiful maid with an oval face called out with her trembling voice.
"Oh? What is it? Why are you not lining up to receive the vital energy crystals?" Austin asked her, confused.
"Master, we are only your humble servants. We are as insignificant as the dust in the air. Sir, we are very thankful to you for rewarding us with so many vital energy crystals. We feel flattered and honored." The maid choked out with tears running down her eyes. Her body trembled because of the sudden burst of emotion that she was feeling.
The other two thousand people all gazed at Austin with immense gratitude on their faces.
"It's not a big deal. I'm happy to give you at least that much." Austin smiled gently. His words were like a spring breeze that warmed their hearts.
"Don't think too lowly of yourselves. You are not unimportant.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| told you before that | would never look down on you if you followed me.
You only need to work hard in cultivation. Don't worry about anything else. If you don't have enough resources for cultivation, tell me. | will try my best to help and assist you.
Don't feel troubled of your current situation.

That is all.
Go and get your vital energy crystals," Austin waved his hand dismissively and said.
Looking at Austin's lanky figure, all his over two thousand followers cried out simultaneously, "Master! We are very fortunate to be chosen by the emperor to becyour servants! If you need us in the future, as long as you call for us, we will do as you command. We are also willing to sacrifice our lives for you with no regret!" Austin was now a hero in the eyes of his people.
In the past, they had to submit themselves to Austin because their spiritual lives were under his control but now they surrendered themselves willingly and happily.
Austin smiled and motioned for them to take their reward.
The two thousand people lined up and waited for their turns to take their reward. They all happily took the one thousand vital energy crystals that Austin granted to them and left contentedly. When they were done, they returned to their posts to fulfill their duties.
"Aha! Tin. What is this all about? Why did you give them so many vital energy crystals? In fact, | also met sbottlenecks in the process of cultivation and I'm also short of vital energy crystals... So... Tin, you see..." When Austin was distributing the vital energy crystals to his men, Herbert who was standing at the side was watching them with envy. His eyes were glued to the vital energy crystals that were going inside the pockets of other people. He swallowed hard. He had mixed emotions at the moment. He was filled with envy, jealousy, and hate that were stuck like little ants that bit his heart.
As soon as Austin was finished, Herbert immediately cover to him. He rubbed his hands nervously while summoning up his courage. He stammered while trying to make Austin understand what he really meant.
Evan, unlike Herbert, was a humble and honest man. No matter what Austin did, he would always support him. Besides, he would never ask him for smoney. He knew that Austin had always been generous to his brothers. He would never forget his brothers when he got rich.
Herbert was almost drooling and his facial expressions explained it all. Austin was certain that he knew what was on Herbert's mind. He chuckled and said, "Haha! Herbert. Don't worry. You will have your share of the reward." Herbert was overjoyed when he heard Austin's words.
"Tin, you could always see through me." Austin smiled. Using his mind, he summoned what Herbert wanted.
There were soft tinkling sounds when the dazzling vital energy crystals dropped from Austin's Space Ring.
It piled up on the ground at the center of the hall.
At that moment, Mike, Evan, and Herbert all witnessed how Austin conjured up the vital energy crystals. They constantly flew out of his Space Ring. There were no magic tricks that could beat the moment. It seemed as if there was an inexhaustible supply of energy crystals in Austin's Space Ring.
The three of them all stared at Austin in amazement. It was unbelievable. They felt as if they were all in a dream.
"T.. Tin... You... You really are an amazing person! You are so rich now!" Evan stammered.
Herbert's gaze was firmly stuck to the piles of vital energy crystals in front of him. He started drooling and he lost all of his manners at the sight of so much money.
Mike also glowed with surprise. When he first met Austin, Austin was only at the Earth Realm. During that time, the Flaming Sun Valley and Blood Wolf Team were hunting him down and he was constantly on the run.
However, in only a short period time, Austin grew to becsuch a powerful man. Mike was very pleased to see that Austin had made such great achievements. He was also happy for the two ladies that were lucky enough to be wed to such an excellent man.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAustin ignored their surprised looks and divided the vital energy crystals that were on the ground into three parts.
"Uncle Mike, Evan, and Herbert, each of you would take five million vital energy crystals for cultivation.
There are also several fifth grade and sixth grade marital arts skills. You could take them and see if something would fit you." Austin said casually while taking out a few colorful jade slips. Every jade slip has a fifth grade or sixth grade martial skill recorded in it. Austin got them from the Emperor Library in the Mysterious Nether World.
The first floor of the Emperor Library had all of the fifth and sixth martial skills. Austin and Violet worked together to seize the treasurers. Both of them gained fast speed and excellent body movement skills. Without a doubt, they were the biggest winners who collected most of the treasures during the mad scramble.
With their strengths combined, they were able to seize several dozens of colorful jade slips together.
Wow! When he saw the seven or eight fifth and sixth martial skills in front of him, Mike felt as if his breath was taken away. It took him a while to recover from the shock.
Even for slarge sect like Peripatetic Sect, which ranked the top among the five prominent sects, only a few fifth or sixth grade martial skills were at their disposal. He couldn't believe that Austin was just randomly throwing them out. It was astonishing.
The martial skills that Austin had were more precious than the marital skills that the five prominent sects in the Violet Orchid Empire had, combined.
Herbert was flabbergasted for a short while. He suddenly burst into laughter and started jumping around the heaps of vital energy crystal. He was grinning from ear to ear. He felt as if he was the happiest man in the whole world.
Mike and Evan stepped forward to take the vital energy crystals.
Seeing all of them satisfied, Austin left the hall and entered his exclusive practice room.
He sat down with his legs crossed and closed his eyes in repose.
It was tfor him to sort out his trophies that he got from his trip to the Mysterious Nether World. He needed to plan for his next move.
