"Elder Ghost, if you have something to say, let's talk it out. Why do you need to start a fight?" Chen Jian pressed Old Ghost down and said with a smile.
"Talk it out? How am I supposed to talk it out? That's a Holy Celestial Fruit! "Elder Ghost could not fight under Chen Jian's pressure, but his anger did not diminish.
If he had faced such a powerful Celestial Emperor in the past, Elder Ghost would have been in awe. However, he was about to die now, so he had nothing to fear.
"Hmph, you took the Holy Celestial Fruit from my disciple. You bullied him because he was young and ignorant. Do you really think I don't know anything? Let me tell you, I won't trade the Holy Celestial Fruit! I don't need you to treat my poison! "Elder Ghost was obviously ready to risk everything.
"Master …" Xiao Chen was speechless.
"You shut up! You bastard! How dare you exchange the Holy Celestial Fruit for my treatment? Are you an idiot? "Ghost Geezer suddenly turned his head around and scolded Xiao Chen in a fit of rage.
"Master, please calm down! I've already agreed to their terms. Moreover, we've already paid for the Holy Celestial Fruit. If you don't treat your poison now, do you think they'll return the Holy Celestial Fruit to us? Hmm, why don't you just cooperate with them? "Xiao Chen said reluctantly.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen Old Man Gui so angry, and he was also very scared.
"You, you little bastard, you little bastard, you're really going to piss me off!" Elder Ghost was even angrier after hearing Xiao Chen's words. His finger was trembling as he pointed at Xiao Chen.
"You actually gave them the Holy Celestial Fruit? You stinking brat, do you think the people in the Celestial Realm are running a charity? I'm really surprised that you came back alive! "Elder Ghost was so angry that he could not speak coherently.
That was a Holy Celestial Fruit.
It was a treasure that could cause a bloodbath.
Xiao Chen was just a mere Heavenly Immortal, yet he dared to go and trade the Sage Immortal Fruits with the other party. It was truly unbelievable that he wasn't killed by the other party.
"Cough, cough." Xiao Chen was now very embarrassed because Elder Ghost's words seemed to be cursing him to die.
But in all fairness, he was still quite touched, because even though Elder Ghost's words were very angry, they still revealed his deep concern and worry for him.
"Master, I've already handed over the Holy Deity Fruit. Even if you don't treat me now, they won't return the Holy Deity Fruit to us. Therefore, do as you see fit. If you really don't want to treat me, then we can just go back and treat the Holy Deity Fruit as a gift!" Xiao Chen's eyes darted around as he spoke in a straightforward manner.
He understood Old Man Gui's personality better. If he kept trying to persuade him, Old Man Gui would only get angry. However, if he tried to goad Old Man Gui into giving away the Holy Immortal Fruit, Old Man Gui's heartache would not allow him to give it away for nothing.
"Humph! Don't think I can't tell what you're thinking. Trying to goad me? I won't fall for it, but you're right, the Holy Immortal Fruit can't be given away for nothing! Just you wait, I'll teach you a lesson when we get back! "Old Man Gui snorted coldly.
Right now, he was naturally very angry, but he was also more aware of the stakes. The Holy Immortal Fruit had already been given away. If he still refused to treat the illness, then he would suffer a great loss this time. Even though he was filled with resentment and reluctance, Old Man Gui knew very well what was the wisest choice for him right now!
Only by complementing the treatment that he was about to receive would he be able to make this Sage Immortal Fruit more valuable, and only then would he feel better.
Only then would he not let down Xiao Chen's filial piety towards him.
"Hehe, as long as you're cured, Master, you can teach me whatever you want when we get back! There's still a long way to go, it doesn't matter if you punish me by making me kneel for ten or a hundred years! "Xiao Chen was relieved when he heard Old Man Gui's words.
"Ten or a hundred years? My anger will not be appeased if I don't punish you by making you kneel for a thousand or ten thousand years! "Old Man Gui glared at Xiao Chen.
"Alright, I'll kneel for as long as you say!" Xiao Chen chuckled.
"Sigh..." Old Man Gui suddenly sighed and suppressed his anger. He looked at Xiao Chen speechlessly, not knowing what to say.
To be honest, Old Man Gui did not think that the relationship between them as master and disciple had reached a very deep level.
However, he did not expect that Xiao Chen would use a Holy Immortal Fruit in exchange for a chance to treat his illness after knowing that he was poisoned by the Immortal Extinguishing Poison.
He had not felt this way since Old Man Gui ascended to the Immortal Realm and his relatives passed away one after another.
Previously, he had treated Xiao Chen differently because of Xiao Chen's terrifying talent. However, Old Man Gui now had another kind of affection for Xiao Chen, similar to that of an elder.
After all, this was a Holy Immortal Fruit. It was a great favor. Moreover, it could completely cure the Immortal Extinguishing Poison in his body, which was equivalent to giving him a chance to live. This was equivalent to saving his life.
Old Man Gui felt that it was almost impossible to repay what he owed Xiao Chen!
"A long time ago, before I became an Immortal, I said that in order to become an Immortal, I have to cut off all my emotions! It is said that Immortals are very cold, very cold, and very heartless. Since I ascended to the Immortal Realm, most of the Immortals I have met are like that. However, I suddenly realized something today. If I cut off all my emotions, how would I be different from a puppet? Immortals are emotionless, but how can an emotionless Immortal truly understand the myriad of emotions? How can they fuse with the myriad of Daos? "Old Man Gui looked at Xiao Chen with an inexplicable gentleness in his eyes.
Following his words, Old Man Gui seemed to have undergone some very magical changes.
His entire person seemed to have become somewhat different.
His body seemed to be enveloped by some inexplicable Daoist Rhymes, making Old Man Gui look very holy.
"Is this Dao enlightenment?" Chen Jian and Gu Pan, who were standing at the side, were both shocked when they saw this.
"Dao enlightenment?" Xiao Chen was also stunned when he heard this.
Old Man Gui actually comprehended Dao at this juncture?
"Hahaha, I finally understand. There are three thousand Daos. The Dao of Emotionlessness is the Dao, but the Dao of Emotion is the Dao of Man!" Old Man Gui's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Finally, he laughed as if he had completely taken the last step.
At this moment, an indescribable aura suddenly rose from Old Man Gui's body!
