Chapter 213 Absorption Technique!
Go in? Only a fool would go in.
Dan Tianxie chuckled inwardly, then exchanged a glance with Gu Santong and the others.
The situation is unclear right now, and we can't tell whether the people inside are friend or foe. The best of the thirty-six stratagems is to flee, so let's get out of here!
When it comes to his own safety, Shan Tianxie would never take any risks if possible.
Gu Santong instantly understood what Shan Tianxie meant.
Although he was still somewhat unconvinced and wanted to exchange a few blows with the experts inside the room,
He hadn't sparred with such a master in a long time!
But after much deliberation, he realized that he wasn't alone; his wife was waiting for him to rescue her.
So he nodded almost imperceptibly, agreeing with Shan Tianxie's idea.
Just as everyone reached an agreement and was preparing to retreat,
Suddenly, with a creak, the door of the thatched hut opened!
Then a white-haired but vigorous old man appeared, his blue robe fluttering in the wind.
The old man was tall and thin, about seven or eight feet tall, with a face as clear and lustrous as jade, rosy and delicate like a baby's.
He still had a silvery-white beard over a foot long under his chin, and his full head of silver hair was thick and full.
Although dressed simply, she exuded a unique aura of transcendence, ease, and composure.
The first thought that crossed Shan Tianxie's mind upon seeing this person was...
Oh no! I can't figure it out!
Looking back on this journey, as his cultivation improved, even a master like Gu Santong, who was in the late stage of the Grandmaster level, had become a formidable figure.
He was confident he could detect something amiss, but unfortunately, the old man in the blue robe before him...
He seemed to blend seamlessly with the heavens; he was clearly standing right in front of everyone.
But when I close my eyes, I can't sense the person's presence.
This situation is somewhat similar to that of the mysterious old eunuch in the Imperial Library of Beijing.
"Why are you blocking our way, senior?"
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Shan Tianxie, being quite straightforward, immediately cupped his hands in a fist salute and asked loudly.
"You young man, your words are rather strange. Could it be that you are the ones who came to see this old man?"
Upon hearing this, the old man in the blue robe smiled slightly, and his fine, white teeth were inadvertently revealed.
"Huh? Forty teeth?"
A single glance from Shan Tianxie sent a shiver down his spine.
He had heard his elder brother mention it before. If a person cultivates their entire body's muscles, bones, and skin to the pinnacle of perfection...
It will have a full forty teeth in its mouth!
Such extraordinary phenomena are revered as "the teeth of a sage" in Buddhist and Taoist scriptures.
Legend has it that before the Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, he had forty teeth!
At this moment, Bai Zhantang, who was standing to the side, had not yet noticed anything unusual.
It just felt a little strange that Young Master Shan and the others looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Perhaps you've never asked for a favor before and don't know what to say for a moment?
You should have said so earlier. He's quite good at this, but he's too proud to admit it because of his high status.
After some mental conjecture, Bai Zhantang felt he had discovered the truth of the matter.
Then Bai Zhantang chuckled and stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting.
"Your Excellency, Bai Zhantang greets you."
"Bai Zhantang?"
The old man in the blue robe looked Bai Zhantang up and down, narrowed his eyes, and smiled.
"Who do we have here? It's just a waiter from Tongfu Inn."
Speaking of which, Beckham is indeed a good prospect for martial arts.
It's a pity I have no interest in learning martial arts. Oh well, so you've come here for some business?"
"this....."
Bai Zhantang hadn't expected the centenarian to be so direct.
I had originally planned to use Beckham as an opportunity to chat and get closer to him, so that I could casually ask about the gold carp later.
But now the other party is clearly not buying his act and has gone straight to the point.
This is going to be a bit tricky.
However, after Bai Zhantang's interruption, Shan Tianxie's mind was racing, and he finally understood.
No matter how powerful this old man from the green mountains is, or even if he is a celestial being.
However, since the other party has chosen to live in seclusion in Qixia Town, they probably won't take action personally until the very last moment.
Martial arts masters who have reached this level are mostly like the old eunuch, yearning to go further.
In that case, it's better to just go straight to the point.
If the golden carp thing works, great; if not, we'll think of another way.
Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie ignored Gu Santong's warning gaze, stepped forward directly, and respectfully bowed.
"To be honest, I heard that you once offered a golden carp as a gift, intending to take me as your apprentice. That's why I've come to pay you a visit today."
There is an elder who has been severely poisoned and urgently needs a golden carp as a medicinal ingredient to save his life. I humbly request your assistance.
"Oh? But what does this have to do with me?"
The old man in the green robe remained calm, his gaze slowly shifting to Shan Tianxie, his eyes showing neither joy nor sorrow.
"This golden carp is as rare as the ancient toad. Such a rare treasure is regarded as a priceless gem by all martial arts practitioners. What makes you think you can take it?"
"this......"
Dan Tianxie hadn't finished speaking.
Gu Santong, standing to the side, could no longer contain himself.
He was never a good-tempered person; otherwise, he wouldn't have earned the nickname "Invincible Rascal".
He believed that his indestructible divine skill was unparalleled in the world, and even if the old man was a celestial being, he was confident that he could escape unscathed.
"Is my martial arts skill enough?"
Having said that, Gu Santong suddenly clenched his fists, palms slightly turned outwards.
In an instant, his five fingers tore through the air, and an incredibly powerful suction force erupted from his palm.
It was none other than one of the two unique skills of the Eccentric Swordsman of Tianchi, which had never been revealed before – the Absorption Technique!
"The Absorption Technique?"
The old man in the blue robe remained calm and composed upon seeing this, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes seemingly filled with a hint of mockery.
"What a coincidence! Today, I'll have a contest with you on this absorption technique!"
Having said that, the old man in the green robe also unleashed both palms simultaneously, his movements resembling a dragon reaching out its claws.
A fierce and incomparable suction force also erupted from the palm.
In an instant, it transformed into two enormous dragon mouths, seemingly ready to devour Gu Santong as he charged forward.
In an instant, the two powerful suction forces collided and became entangled.
"What!? You actually know the Absorption Technique??...No, this isn't the Absorption Technique you're using."
Gu Santong was greatly surprised, feeling his internal energy uncontrollably flowing out of his dantian and escaping outwards.
As if out of control, he quickly steadied his mind and gathered the true energy within his body.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickly pushed the Absorption Technique to its highest level, channeling all his true energy as he charged toward the old man.
In a swift movement, he was already standing in front of the old man.
Seeing this, the old man in the green robe neither dodged nor avoided, but slowly extended his palms to meet the attack.
Despite its seemingly slow movements, it miraculously caught Gu Santong's palms, like a gazelle leaping off a cliff.
With a thud, their four palms met.
The old man in the blue robe stood motionless, while Gu Santong was sent flying backward by the shock.
He landed smoothly in mid-air with a leap and a somersault, but the force of the impact from Gu Santong sent rocks and soil flying everywhere.
"The Heavenly Pool Eccentric Hero's Absorption Technique is not bad."
The old man stood calmly with his hands behind his back, exuding an indescribable air of nonchalance.
"You must have also mastered the Indestructible Vajra Divine Skill? Why don't you let this old man take a look?"
