Chapter 682: Chapter 0684: Gambling Stone Field

Chu Ge gently nodded, pondering how Uncle Liu’s martial arts had already surpassed that of immortals, his heart brimming with curiosity, "I wonder how Uncle Liu cultivated back in the day?"

Uncle Liu shook his head gently, "Back then, I practiced Dual Cultivation."

Chu Ge: ...

After the sparring session ended, Chu Ge erged from the formation to confront an abruptly enlarged face, which startled him.

"Lin Dong, what are you doing?"

Lin Dong, seeing that Chu Ge finally noticed him, let out a long sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Mr. Chu, what happened to you? Just now, you and Uncle Liu seed like your souls had departed; no matter how I called, you wouldn’t respond."

Chu Ge looked up at Uncle Liu, who had also exited the formation.

He replied, "It’s nothing, I just ditated for a bit."

Lin Dong didn’t understand all of this, so seeing that Chu Ge wasn’t saying more, he didn’t press the matter either.

Uncle Liu’s original intent in inviting Chu Ge to play chess was to test Chu Ge’s power. Now that the test was over, naturally, he no longer felt the need to continue the ga.

Chu Ge, very conscientiously, stood up, took his leave from Uncle Liu, who didn’t insist on keeping him any longer.

The furniture Chu Ge ordered was delivered by a truck that Lin Dong helped arrange; it took two trips to get it all back.

With the addition of furniture, the shop suddenly felt different.

Although there wasn’t anything on top of the display cabinets and tables yet.

Lin Dong also looked around with so satisfaction, his excited deanor as if he was seeing his own shop co to fruition.

"Mr. Chu, I suddenly feel like I have a goal to work towards in life," Lin Dong said sincerely.

Chu Ge looked at him with amusent, "You can consider this place your second ho."

Although Chu Ge spoke softly, this statent hit Lin Dong’s heart directly.

Lin Dong felt a tingling in his nose; he had known since childhood that he was an orphan abandoned by his parents, and the orphanage was his ho, the other kids there his siblings.

But he knew that the orphanage’s funds were limited, and after they grew up, the orphanage could no longer support them financially or otherwise.

Since leaving the orphanage, Lin Dong always felt like a drifting boat. Whenever tired, he would return to the orphanage, but that wasn’t a long-term solution; he always felt his life lacked direction as if he couldn’t see the future.

But now it was different. Mr. Chu was willing to let him help out at the Gambling Stone Field, even suggesting this could be his second ho – a truly heartwarming gesture for soone who had drifted for years without a harbor to anchor his heart.

Lin Dong’s eyes reddened, gratefully looking at Chu Ge; he opened his mouth to say sothing but saw Chu Ge raising his hand slightly.

"Alright, I know what you want to say, but now’s not the ti for sentintality. Right now, I’m going to help you open your governor and conception vessels. After they’re opened, it doesn’t an your martial arts will be formidable imdiately; it requires your continuous practice and effort to consolidate and improve," said Chu Ge.

Lin Dong nodded; he was aware of this.

"I will definitely work hard and not let down Mr. Chu’s expectations."

Chu Ge raised his hand, gently patted him on the shoulder, and then motioned for him to sit down where he was. "When opening the governor and conception vessels, your body will experience so pain. You must endure it because the process cannot be disrupted, or else your body may suffer irreparable harm."

Lin Dong nodded earnestly, "Don’t worry, Mr. Chu, I will endure."

Seeing Lin Dong’s resolute expression, Chu Ge didn’t elaborate further. He sat cross-legged, circulated his energy in his palm, and a warm current gently entered Lin Dong’s back.

At first, Lin Dong felt this warmth flowing within his body, creating a very peculiar sensation, which was not at all painful as Chu Ge had described but instead very comfortable.

However, after a short while, the warm current began to lose its heat and grew cold.

This chilly stream flowed through him, chilling everywhere it touched, making him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The bones in his limbs started to ache from the coldness, bearable at first, but as it intensified, Lin Dong could barely grit his teeth and hold on.

His fists clenched tightly, striving to prevent himself from crying out, but the pain throughout his body was beyond what he had imagined and steadily increasing.

Eventually, Lin Dong couldn’t bear it any longer and cried out loudly.

Due to his cry, the murky energies cleansed by the True Qi flowed out with his voice.

After a while longer, Lin Dong felt the pain in his body subsiding, replaced by a feeling of profound relief as if he had survived a huge ordeal.

Shortly after, Chu Ge channeled a stream of new True Qi into Lin Dong’s body, then slowly withdrew his energy and opened his eyes, standing up from the ground.

Approaching Lin Dong, who was drenched in sweat, he asked, "All set. Do you feel any changes in your body?"

Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes. He did feel so changes, although there was still so lingering pain that was gradually fading, giving way to a refreshing sensation. Lin Dong flexed his muscles and inexplicably felt as if his bones had been remade.

"I feel as if I’ve been reborn, much lighter than before."

Lin Dong was still unaccustod to using the True Qi within him. He raised his hand and felt stronger than before.

Chu Ge, sowhat amused, watched him and shook his head lightly, "Alright, you’ve just begun to learn Ancient Martial Arts. There’s a process of absorption and digestion that’s needed. Go rest tonight and tomorrow I’ll teach you how to use it."

Lin Dong was thrilled. He nodded vigorously, and without warning, he knelt down to pay respects to Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu, eting you in this life is Lin Dong’s good fortune accumulated over five hundred years!"

Chu Ge couldn’t handle such a grand gesture and hurriedly helped Lin Dong up, pretending to be annoyed, "I’m teaching you ancient martial arts because it’s beneficial to

as well; it’s a matter of mutual benefit, so you don’t owe

anything. Just take good care of the Gambling Stone Field for

in the future."

Chu Ge’s purpose in training Lin Dong was similar to why he trained Huo Tianqian before; he couldn’t be stuck managing the Gambling Stone Field forever, having a confidant to help out was indeed fortunate.

Of course, Chu Ge wasn’t worried that they might change their hearts in the future, for he had the ability to transform them just as well as he had the ability to destroy them.
