Chapter 834 - Thank You, Taoist Master
Yue Xincheng has been here for more than ten days, waiting for Gao Ge to wake up. Now that Gao Ge is awake, he should leave then.
Having waited for such a long time, he only hopes that Gao Ge can agree to his decision.
Gao Ge has a lot of mixed feelings.
Actually, he even hopes to go with Yue Xincheng but he knows that it is the least thing Yue Xincheng wants. This is Yue Xincheng’s opportunity and he needs to explore it on his own.
Apart from that, given Gao Ge’s status in the field of immortal cultivation, a lot of people have been watching him.
It is a difficult thing for Yue Xincheng to seek the legacy by himself.
However, if Gao Ge goes along, it will become a lot more difficult...
Taoist Master Xuantian rushes here in a hurry shortly after Yue Xincheng leaves.
“You two wait outside.” He immediately walks into Gao Ge’s room with a smile on his face after telling his two disciples to stay outside.
He couldn’t have waited here so long if it were not for meeting Gao Ge. He would have long left.
Now that the Ghost Sect has completely vanished, he is really curious about whether Gao Ge has found the Demon Quelling Seal.
After all, the Demon Quelling Seal is the ultimate treasure of the Celestial Master Sect!
He wouldn’t be so serious if it were about other things. Yet, when it comes to the Demon Quelling Seal, he doesn’t dare to take it lightly.
“Ahem. Gao Ge, are you feeling better?” Taoist Master Xuantian asks.
“Yeah... I’m kind of just recovered from a severe illness. I’m glad enough that you can come to visit me. A present is not necessary,” Gao Ge heaves a sigh and says.
Taoist Master Xuantian has no idea what to say.
He comes here with empty hands indeed!
Yet, he also knows what Gao Ge implies. Angry as he is, he still takes out a red box.
“This is 300-year-old ginseng, which is rather nutritious. It will be greatly beneficial for your body,” Taoist Master Xuantian says.
Gao Ge puts on an embarrassed look.
“Well, well, I’ve been injured indeed but it is not a big deal. It is fine that you bring a present for me. And it also turns out to be so valuable. How can I accept it?” While talking, he also tips Meng Jing the wink.
“Yeah, Taoist Master, we cannot accept such a valuable present,” Meng Jing takes the hint and also hastens to say.
Taoist Master Xuantian takes a look at Meng Jing and then says with a strange look, “Actually, what he means is that you should take it right now in case that I may go back on my words.”
Meng Jing is speechless.
Gao Ge also coughs and looks around to pretend that he didn’t see what was happening here.
Meng Jing rubs her temples. It seems that the tacit understanding between her and Gao Ge has been affected after they haven’t seen each other for a long time...
When Meng Jing takes away the box, Gao Ge finally looks at Taoist Master Xuantian with innocent eyes. It is really hard to believe that such a cheeky man should have such innocent and pure eyes. Taoist Master Xuantian even starts to wonder whether he has speculated about Gao Ge maliciously.
“Taoist Master Xuantian, you still haven’t left by far,” Gao Ge says.
Meng Jing has told him how long he was in a coma.
Even Gao Ge is astounded to hear that he was in a coma for one month.
Come to think of it, it makes sense indeed. It is not easy to recover from a soul injury. Besides, he also needed to accept the legacy of the Immortal Finger and integrate the star map with the residual will of the immortal skeleton completely.
These all took time.
historical
It has been really not easy to complete all these things within one month.
Hearing that, Taoist Master Xuantian pulls a long face.
He really wants to scream abuse.
How can Gao Ge not know why he has to stay here for a month?
Clearly, Gao Ge is playing dumb.
Hence, he decides to call a spade. After all, he has offered a present. The 300-year-old ginseng is not ordinary even for the Celestial Master Sect, which is not easy to get and also very expensive.
“Gao Ge, did you find the Demon Quelling Seal?”
Gao Ge narrows his eyes and pats his thigh.
“Oh right. Look at me. I may have been muddle-headed after sleeping for one month. If you didn’t mention it, I would forget it then.”
Taoist Master Xuantian’s face looks even more complicated.
“You almost forgot it? I’m so speechless!” Taoist Master Xuantian thinks.
“I found the Demon Quelling Seal. It was in Five Ghosts Mansion,” Gao Ge says.
“Really?!” Taoist Master Xuantian stands up with excitement. This is a bit incredible and also delightful. It seems that the ginseng is so worth it. Besides, he did speculate about Gao Ge maliciously. Gao Ge has found the Demon Quelling Seal but he doesn’t intend to keep it. Instead, he directly confesses that he has found it.
What kind of man is he?
He is a good man indeed!
“Where is it?” Taoist Master Xuantian can’t wait any longer so he hastens to ask further.
With a smile, Gao Ge takes out the Demon Quelling Seal and puts it on the table.
Taoist Master Xuantian takes on a ghastly expression instantly.
“Taoist Master Xuantian, look at this. Is it the Demon Quelling Seal?” Gao Ge asks.
Taoist Master Xuantian stares at the several fragments on the desk for a while.
This is the Demon Quelling Seal indeed.
However, he cannot figure out why it is broken.
Gao Ge explains aside, “In fact, the Demon Quelling Seal was stolen by the Ghost Sect simply because they needed this to suppress the immortal skeleton they had found. Well... As to the immortal skeleton, I believe that you saw it when you were in the Ghost Sect. The residual will of the immortal skeleton occupied my body and this Demon Quelling Seal was destroyed by the powerful immortal skeleton.”
Taoist Master Xuantian heaves a sigh.
He believes in Gao Ge’s explanation. Actually, there is nothing he can do even if he doesn’t.
The Demon Quelling Seal has been ruined and Gao Ge hasn’t gained any benefits.
Besides, he is clear that even if Gao Ge has reached the realm of Grand Master, he cannot destroy the Demon Quelling Seal that contains the Taoist conception.
On this issue, Taoist Master Xuantian has absolute confidence.
“Gao Ge, thank you anyway. Although the Demon Quelling Seal has been ruined, I still need to take it back.” Taoist Master Xuantian’s voice sounds a bit helpless.
Such being the case, he feels a bit pitiful indeed but he cannot do anything about it.
“Alas. Taoist Master, actually, I did want to take the complete Demon Quelling Seal back but the residual will of the immortal skeleton was too strong. I was too weak to do anything about it,” Gao Ge says, “In fact, if it were not because I was asked to find Demon Quelling Seal, I wouldn’t have run into the residual will of the immortal skeleton.”
Taoist Master Xuantian also thinks of this and instantly feels guilty.
“Yeah. You are right. If it were not for my request, you wouldn’t have gone to Five Ghosts Mansion and your body wouldn’t have been almost occupied by the residual will of the immortal skeleton. Well... In short, I really appreciate your big help. From now on, I’ve owed you one. So has the Celestial Master Sect. If you need any favor from me or the Celestial Master Sect, I will not refuse you for sure!”
Judging from Taoist Master Xuantian’s determined facial expression, it seems every word is sincerely uttered by him from the bottom of his heart.
Gao Ge also hastens to rise and bow with clasped hands, “Thank you, Taoist Master.” When he lowers his head, the smile on his face looks a bit bizarre.
