What? I'll die in a month?
Zhao Bo shivered.
Do you think I'm exaggerating?
As if he could read Zhao Bo's mind, Gu Chen smiled gently.
"The main problem is that this matter is too unbelievable." Zhao Bo swallowed and said, "My health has always been very good, and I have been practicing internal energy cultivation for decades without any chronic illnesses. How could I possibly die?"
"You think I said you've gone mad with qi?" Gu Chen chuckled.
Zhao Bo asked in confusion, "Why is that? Not to boast, but although I am only at the Bone-Forge Realm, I am at the Great Perfection Bone-Forge Realm, not far from the Revolving Illumination Realm. In this Zhou City, there are very few people who can defeat me, let alone kill me."
"This old man?" Gu Chen's voice deepened, and his aura intensified.
Sensing the change in Gu Chen's aura, Zhao Bo instantly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "This disciple misspoke."
"You'll know about your calamity in a month," Gu Chen said calmly, appearing unfathomable.
Actually, it was when his master took him away that he casually mentioned Zhao Bo, and at that time, his master said that Zhao Bo had already been killed. As for who killed him, Gu Chen had no idea.
Zhao Bo's expression shifted uncertainly. Believing it was better to be safe than sorry, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Please, Master, help your disciple overcome this tribulation."
Gu Chen said, "Isn't this my purpose in taking you as my disciple?"
Zhao Bo felt somewhat relieved, nodded, and asked, "May I ask what brings Master to see me?"
"Let me help you solve your cultivation problem first," Gu Chen said. "You're being beaten every day, and your progress is minimal. At this rate, it'll take forever to reach the Revolving Illumination Realm."
"Isn't this how you cultivate the Undying Divine Skill?" Zhao Bo asked, puzzled.
"Of course not." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "Sit down first, I'll see how your luck goes."
"Yes."
Perhaps because of Gu Chen's mystery, coupled with his earlier warnings, Zhao Bo dared not act rashly and could only obediently sit down cross-legged and begin circulating his cultivation technique.
Soon, a faint black halo appeared on Zhao Bo's body, mixed with a few shades of pale white, swirling around his head.
"Gathering Qi at the Heavenly Gate, indeed a method for cultivating immortality."
Seeing this, Gu Chen felt reassured.
The most important point for human cultivation is the Tianmen acupoint behind the forehead. However, martial arts techniques only cultivate the internal organs, not the Tianmen. Only immortal cultivation techniques can achieve the effect of gathering Qi.
Gu Chen placed his hand on Zhao Bo's back and began to feel along the path of his internal energy circulation.
A short while later, an external force invaded his body and quickly entered his meridians.
Don't panic, I'm helping you correct it.
Gu Chen said calmly.
Zhao Bo's body trembled. When a martial artist is cultivating, it is most important not to be affected or disrupted by others. However, thinking of Gu Chen's methods just now, he realized that killing him might not be so troublesome. So he could only force himself to relax and quickly get into the zone.
However, he soon sensed something was wrong, because Gu Chen was able to control the flow of his internal energy. When he was circulating his internal energy, it was as if a saw blade suddenly cut in from the side, and then it was as if a tube was guiding him to gather energy in his dantian from another direction.
Zhao Bo dared not move an inch, for fear of going berserk!
"Following the instructions I gave you, try circulating your qi through your body a few times." At this moment, Gu Chen's voice rang in his ears again.
The True Qi that Gu Chen injected into his body acted like a hand, propelling his own True Qi to circulate. Upon hearing this, Zhao Bo dared not move.
In less than ten minutes, Zhao Bo's tense nerves finally relaxed, and at that moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face!
"How could this be?!"
Because of Gu Chen's guidance, not only is his internal circulation now more rapid, but some long-standing blockages in his body have also been completely broken through!
This unbelievable situation even made the wrinkles on his old face tremble!
"That's enough."
Gu Chen's voice rang out calmly.
Zhao Bo nodded, suppressing his shock, and began to finish his practice.
After he got up from the ground and started to stretch his body, Gu Chen asked, "How do you feel?"
The look of shock in Zhao Bo's eyes had not yet faded. At this moment, he felt not just okay, but absolutely wonderful! The past ten minutes had broken through many of the barriers in his body, making him feel stronger than if he had cultivated for ten months!
Although it didn't allow him to break through to the Bone-Forge Realm, it did lead him to the right path, a benefit that cultivation alone cannot bring!
"You!" Zhao Bo turned his head, looked at Gu Chen, opened his mouth wide, and couldn't say a word.
Gu Chen said calmly, "Your cultivation method is flawed. Although this technique barely meets my standards, you've squandered its potential. I'll correct it for you. From now on, you won't have to passively take beatings anymore. This cultivation method is far too low-level!"
Zhao Bo's body trembled, and he knelt on the ground again.
"Disciple Zhao Bo thanks Master for his guidance!"
If last time Zhao Bo was deterred by Gu Chen's mysterious and unpredictable strength and his charlatanry, then this time Zhao Bo is truly sincere!
To be able to change the flow of his meridian True Qi and help him break through in just ten minutes is simply miraculous!
As a seasoned veteran, how could Zhao Bo not know that Gu Chen far surpassed him in both strength and insight!
He was completely convinced by this bow!
Gu Chen said, "No need to thank me. You are already my disciple. Helping you perfect your cultivation technique is my duty. If you hadn't cultivated this technique for so many years and missed the best age for cultivation, I could have taught you an even more powerful technique."
If Master possesses so many abilities that create the universe, how extraordinary must his cultivation technique be?
The "Undying Divine Skill," which he had always carefully treasured, made Zhao Bo realize for the first time that it was worthless, and he was even quite disappointed that he was now over fifty years old!
Seeing Zhao Bo bow in submission, Gu Chen nodded and said, "I heard you're the guide to Zhou City's black market?"
"Yes." Zhao Bo nodded respectfully and said, "Both of Zhou City's two major black markets have to give me some face."
Gu Chen said, "Take me there, I need to buy something at the black market."
"Buy things?" Zhao Bo asked curiously, "With Master's abilities, what can't he get? Why would he need to buy anything?"
This made Gu Chen chuckle. Not buying? Were they going to rob us?
However, in Zhao Bo's mind, this world is one where the strong are respected, and murder and robbery are common occurrences. Moreover, he already feared Gu Chen like a god, so he naturally believed that Gu Chen's actions should be different from those of ordinary people.
"Lead the way." Gu Chen didn't waste any more words with him.
