Immortality Cultivation Era Chapter 188 Feel Pain (5)

Although the array looks rather simple, Gao Ge still has a feeling of achievement after cracking it.

"Yeah, you are right. The stairs are set in a series. Each series has nine stairs. If the wide stairs show up before a turn, then you should only step on the wide ones; if the narrow stairs appear before a turn, then you should only step on the narrow ones likewise. The array method is rather simple, but since you can figure it out without any basic knowledge, you are sort of talented." Master Guanshan says with a smile.

Gao Ge laughs.

"Do you think it is quite fun?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then do you want to try something else?"

Gao Ge shakes his head heavily, "No, I don't."

"Fine. After all, there are plenty of opportunities. You are quite talented. Let me ask you. If I teach you array methods, will you accept it?" Master Guanshan asks.

"If you are willing to teach me, I am more than happy to learn. As a saying goes, more skills, greater chances of survival."

Master Guanshan feels a bit unhappy about Gao Ge's calling it as a skill.

Then a screen appears in front of Gao Ge. He walks past the screen and sees a table and chair.

On the other side of screen is a wooden bed, on which there is an old man in a black coat. The man is leaning against the bedrail with a pale face as sere as dried bark. His eyes are turbid. He is smiling at Gao Ge, except that his smile appears quite rigid.

"Boy, are you sure that you can heal me?" The old man stares at Gao Ge with his eyes half narrowed.

Gao Ge walks to him and frowns.

On approaching the old man, he smells a rancid smell.

It is like there's something dead under the bed.

"Don't look around. It's me." While saying that, the old man raises his clothes. A large part of his flesh at the chest has festered.

"This is…" Gao Ge is astounded.

Some green liquid is oozing from the festered skin. It looks so terrifying.

Whoever sees this will feel his blood freeze.

"I've become like this after being hit by a palm."

"A palm?" Gao Ge says in surprise, "You must be poisoned."

"The world is so big that nothing is to be surprised at. What made me become like this is called Deadwood Palm. Hit by the palm, even a huge tree will quickly wither. Luckily, I've reached the realm of Master. That's why I can live until now." The old man shakes his head, saying, "Boy, do you think you can save me?"

"I can have a shot anyway." Gao Ge grins and says, "Sir, at the moment, even if I don't think I can save you, I must make it anyway. Otherwise, the sovereign and the honorable elders must kill me."

Master Guanshan laughs, "I agree, but as long as you agree to learn the array method from me, I can promise you that no one dares to lay a finger on you."

"Even the people of the Xiaoshan Sword Sect are included?" Gao Ge asks deliberately.

Master Guanshan gets angry, "Can't I exaggerate a bit? Generally, no one dares to pick on the Xiaoshan Sword Sect. It has two strong cultivators at the realm of Master, both of whom are more capable than me. I am talking about their cultivation before I was injured. I have no idea what level of cultivation they have reached by now."

Gao Ge pulls a chair over and sits by the bed. He stares at the wound for a while, saying, "The one who practices the Deadwood Palm is really brutal."

"If you have a chance to learn, will you do it?" Master Guanshan asks.

Gao Ge thinks for a while and says grinningly, "Of course I will. After all, someone has to be brutal. I would like to be the brutal one."

Master Guanshan bursts into laughter again, but this time, his laughing seems to affect his injury. He starts to cough heavily. Finally, he stops coughing and inhales. He nods his head at Gao Ge, saying in a nice tone, "I like your honesty. You are much better than the hypocrites. At least, you will say out what you are actually thinking."

Gao Ge pulls a long face.

Master Guanshan' words don't sound a compliment at all!

The old man does have a unique way of complimenting others!

"It is not a bad thing. At least, I think so. Generally, vile characters can live longer than hypocrites." Master Guanshan says.

Gao Ge reaches out his hand to grab Master Guanshan's arm.

"What? Are you really interested in learning that?" Master Guanshan asks.

"How about making a deal?" Gao Ge asks.

"Spill."

"If I heal you, you will owe me one. If I need your favor one day, you cannot refuse me." Gao Ge says.

"Ha ha, Okay!" Master Guanshan says, "You are quite interesting, at least more interesting than Daotu, Daoyuan and others. It is so ambitious of you to ask a man at the realm of Master to work for you."

Gao Ge says smilingly, "Actually, it is a fair deal to you. Let's add a deadline to this. How about three years later?"

"Why is it three years?" Master Guanshan is confused, asking, "Do you think I cannot live more than three years?"

"No, I don't. I just believe that three years is enough for me to reach the realm of Master." Gao Ge says.

Master Guanshan can't help but gaze at Gao Ge with widened eyes.

Gao Ge gets a bit terrified by his gaze.

"Why are you so confident? The earth is becoming more suitable for cultivation indeed, but not everyone can achieve the realm of Master."

Gao Ge laughs and starts to transfer his power of stars to Master Guanshan.

As the power of stars is transferred into his body, Master Guanshan gives a surprised look.

He lowers his head to look at his wound. The green liquid flows at a faster speed.

Gao Ge stops suddenly and doesn't dare to act further.

"It's okay. You are driving the venom out. Go on!" Master Guanshan is overjoyed, "Hurry up! Don't stop! Keep doing this!"

Gao Ge feels so gloomy.

Master Guanshan is shouting so loudly! Gao Ge is worried that others may think he is doing something to the old man when hearing this…

Yet, what Master Guanshan says does relieve Gao Ge. He begins to speed up running the power of stars.

"It feels so good. Ouch!"

Suddenly, Master Guanshan screams loudly!

"Don't stop. Go on!"

Gao Ge really wants to kick his ass.

Is Master Guanshan a masochist?

"Ouch…" As he takes in the power of stars, Master Guanshan screams more frequently.

When Gao Ge stops, Master Guanshan is lying on the bed and gasping.

"Good! Good!" Master Guanshan bursts out laughing, "It hurts! It really hurts!"

"It hurts? And you still feel good?" Gao Ge really can't understand Master Guanshan's thought.

Master Guanshan looks at Gao Ge, saying, "You feel confused?"

"Of course."

"Hem, if you haven't felt the pain of the wound for 20 years and yet been able to sense you are dying bit by bit, you won't feel confused."

Gao Ge is shocked, "20 years? And you couldn't feel the pain of your wound?"

Master Guanshan doesn't have any facial expression. He only nods his head.

Gao Ge can't help sighing.

No wonder Master Guanshan was so excited when he was screaming.
