Immortality Cultivation Era

Chapter 939 The Qi of the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting

The sea of herbs at night is tens of times more dangerous than that in the daytime.

Not only Shao Shuai but also Xie Jue and Xie Zhuolian have said that before.

Therefore, for the sake of safety, Gao Ge decides to find a place to settle down first.

In the darkness, three people walk together and find a cave.

Originally, Gao Ge meant to stay in Shuibao’s Water Curtain Cave, but the herbs there are more or less all picked. Besides, as they pick herbs, they are further and further away from the cave. So, they prefer not to go back. While looking for a cave, they kill two rare beasts whose cultivation levels are not high. The beasts’ cores are taken out, which should be good for the disciples of the Star Sect.

The cave is located in a nice position. It has rained before, but the cave isn’t damp. Gao Ge finds some firewood and lights up a bonfire. Shao Shuai sits aside, hesitates for a while and takes out the core.

“Gao Ge, what if I eat this and kick the bucket?” Shao Shuai asks in a low voice.

Gao Ge takes a look at him and says with a smile, “Rest assured. You won’t.”

Shao Shuai lets out a sigh of relief and feels a bit surprised. He didn’t expect that Gao Ge would comfort him now.

Then, Gao Ge continues saying, “Think about this. You’ve seen the fiery horse. If anything untoward happens to you after you eat the core, you’ll directly turn into ashes rather than kick the bucket.”

Shao Shuai is so speechless.

Well.

Gao Ge’s way of comforting is quite special.

......

Shao Shuai feels so “soothed”.

Having realized that he can’t gain any comfort from Gao Ge, Shao Shuai looks at Xie Zhuolian.

“Miss Xie, your family is a medical family. If anything happens to me after I eat this, you must save me!”

Xie Zhuolian is about to speak when she is interrupted by Gao Ge.

“Don’t promise him. What if you get yourself in trouble instead?”

Xie Zhuolian chuckles. She knows that Gao Ge is kidding, so she doesn’t take it seriously.

Shao Shuai is complaining verbally but he still takes a deep breath and stuffs the core into his mouth.

“Eh?” Shao Shuai licks his lips, “It tastes not bad!”

Gao Ge stares at him without blinking.

Gao Ge has considered whether he should eat the core himself.

Now, he’s curious about what will happen after Shao Shuai eats the core.

However, he stares at Shao Shuai for a while and finds that nothing happens to Shao Shuai.

Gao Ge feels perturbed.

Compared with Gao Ge, Shao Shuai is even more perturbed.

It took him so much effort to find such a core. He also dithered for a while about whether to eat it.

If nothing happens after he ate it, his effort would be in vain then.

He feels so frustrated.

Nevertheless, very quickly, his face turns red as if he had drunk a lot of liquors.

“Oh no...” Shao Shuai rubs his belly, “Here it comes. Oh my! It burns so heavily...”

In the beginning, Shao Shuai can endure the pain.

However, Shao Shuai starts to sweat within five minutes.

“Oh crap, Gao Ge, I may really die...”

Ordinary people may not feel it.

Shao Shuai only feels that now, he seems to be thrown into a microwave oven.

At first, he feels as if his internal organs were burnt.

Yet, now, he feels as if his body were to melt the next second.

With a frown, Gao Ge gazes at Shao Shuai’s red body. Before he says something, Shao Shuai suddenly slumps to the ground and keeps rolling about.

He also keeps wailing.

“I’m dying. I’m dying... Oh crap. Oh crap... It hurts...”

In the end, he groans in a broken voice.

“Sovereign Gao, what’s going on?” The cultivator at the realm of Grand Master following Shao Shuai inside is a bit worried and hastens to ask.

Gao Ge takes a look at Shao Shuai, his eyes full of disdain.

How can Gao Ge know the answer?

After all, Gao Ge hasn’t eaten any cores before.

“Gao Ge, what should we do?” Xie Zhuolian is also panicked.

She hasn’t spent a lot of time with Shao Shuai, but she still feels that Shao Shuai is a nice man.

Therefore, she doesn’t want anything to happen to Shao Shuai.

Having pondered for a while, Gao Ge stands up and walks to Shao Shuai. When he grabs Shao Shuai’s arm, he feels a burning sensation in his palm.

He feels as if catching a piece of burned iron.

Just as well that Gao Ge has operated his power of stars in advance. Otherwise, he would probably be dragged into trouble by Shao Shuai.

He immediately motivates his power of stars. The Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting in his body also gives off some marvelous Qi and goes into Shao Shuai’s body through his arm.

“Eh?”

Originally, Gao Ge wanted to stabilize Shao Shuai’s current condition with his power of stars. Unexpectedly, the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting in his body is working now. Besides, the Qi burst out of the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting is quite strange to Gao Ge. It seems that the Qi doesn’t belong to him at all but it’s still controllable.

This has never happened before.

Previously, Gao Ge’s power of stars can treat diseases. For example, he helped Earth Dragon regrow a broken arm before.

Now, it seems to work even better.

That wisp of Qi is very gentle. Even Gao Ge feels very comfortable the moment he feels it.

“It appears that the change of the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting has a lot to do with the herbs in the sea of herbs,” Gao Ge thinks.

Shortly, Shao Shuai’s situation has been gradually stabilized.

He closes his eyes and knits his eyebrows. His skin is still red but it has been a lot better than before.

Gao Ge continues transferring his power of stars combined with the Qi of the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting into Shao Shuai’s body.

When Gao Ge takes his hand away, Shao Shuai has fainted.

“It seems that he won’t die,” Gao Ge says.

Xie Zhuolian and the old man also sigh with relief.

Gao Ge thinks with his head lowered.

When he transferred the power of stars into Shao Shuai’s body, he also felt a blast of energy in Shao Shuai’s body. The energy is very potent and carries a familiarity. On second thought, he had the same feeling when the fiery horse spurted out the fireball.

It’s fair enough to say that Shao Shuai saved Gao Ge’s life.

If he ate the core, he would encounter the same thing as Shao Shuai did. If his Qi became chaotic, he was not sure if his power of stars and the Shennong Tasting 100 Herbs Painting would still work.

He wouldn’t have a person to help him out under the current circumstance.

Actually, even he admires himself.

It’s like when one is playing games, he can’t help thinking if only his teammates were all capable players!

Suddenly, footsteps come from outside the cave.

“Sovereign Gao, someone has come,” the old man says sternly.

“Noted.” Gao Ge nods.

“I’ll go out and take a look.”

“OK.” Gao Ge nods and starts to recover his power of stars.

At the moment, even a cultivator may not be a friend.

He’s more likely to be a tough enemy.

For example, Xie Tong and Xie Zhuang both meant to kill Xie Zhuolian in the sea of herbs.

The old man walks out of the cave. Seeing a group of people come near, he suddenly coughs.

“You’d better find another place. This place is taken by us.”

An arrogant voice comes from the crowd.

“Just because it’s taken by you, it belongs to you? Does it mean that you can’t come in here if I come first?”

The old man frowns.

When he spoke, he has given off the coercion as a cultivator at the realm of Grand Master.

Yet, the comers don’t seem to take it seriously at all.
