Unenlightened was convinced that Hu Xiaotian meant to seize the opportunity to set terms and extort something from him. With his hands clasped behind his back, he paced a few steps around the cave. "I've taken two disciples in my life. One, I killed."
"And the other?"
Unenlightened split his great mouth into a grin, looking particularly hideous. "I ate him!"
Hu Xiaotian stuck out his tongue, then gave a dry cough. "Pretend I never said anything, sir!"
"Though the martial power inside you may not be the strongest in the world, there can be only a handful that compare," Unenlightened said. "Having such powerful internal arts and not knowing how to use them is like an idiot guarding a mountain of gold without knowing how to spend money. Utterly useless. Useless beyond belief."
"I'm not guarding a mountain of gold," Hu Xiaotian said. "I'm carrying one on my back. Didn't you say I had a month to live at most? Before long, that mountain of gold will crush me to death."
"At least you have some self-awareness."
Hu Xiaotian sighed. "My greatest wish in life is to be a carefree wastrel who does whatever he pleases. But when I think about it, this really is pathetic. I have a mountain of gold, yet I can't spend it. Isn't that a stifling way to live? How about this? Keeping all this internal power won't do me any good anyway, so I might as well let you benefit. I'll teach you the Void Art, and when I'm on the verge of death, you can absorb all my power. With your martial arts and my power combined, I'd say you'd be the World's Number One Expert for certain. Stop racking your brains looking for the Formless Divine Skill. You're getting on in
