Chapter 488: Chapter 490 Heart Sutra Wooden Fish

First-level Earth Ganoderma is abundant here, and it’s not surprising considering the presence of a spiritual heart.

Chu Ge didn’t know whether to consider himself lucky, as his chance arrival here not only led him to meet Master Guangde but also to find the spiritual heart of the spirit vein, where even first-level Earth Ganoderma could be found everywhere.

If he could regain his martial arts, it would be an ideal occasion to break through to the realm of the Innate Grandmaster.

While Chu Ge was enjoying his time, the outside world was not so peaceful.

Shen Mansion.

Shen Congwen sat anxiously, nervously watching Jian Chunqiu, who was meditating across from him, feeling increasingly impatient.

"Elder Jian, Mr. Chu has not returned since yesterday, and even his phone is unreachable. Do you think something might have happened to him?"

Elder Jian kept his eyes closed, his expression one of leisure; he chuckled lightly, "That rascally kid, what trouble could he possibly get into? As long as he doesn’t cause trouble for others."

Compared to Shen Congwen’s anxiety, Jian Chunqiu appeared very calm, showing no concern that Chu Ge might encounter any danger.

Seeing Jian Chunqiu’s demeanor, Shen Congwen couldn’t help but wonder if this man was Mr. Chu’s elder. Mr. Chu had disappeared, yet this person remained unaffected.

If it weren’t for him protecting the first-level Earth Ganoderma yesterday and repelling those Japanese, Shen Congwen wouldn’t be so polite to him!

Worried about Chu Ge’s safety, and seeing that Jian Chunqiu was not in the least bit anxious, Shen Congwen decided to call Chu Ge again himself.

"Hello, the number you have dialed is out of service area."

A mechanical female voice came through the handset.

Shen Congwen sighed silently, then called Tang Xin to check if Mr. Chu had returned; she also had no information.

After hanging up, Shen Congwen started pacing anxiously back and forth in the living room.

Jian Chunqiu opened his eyes somewhat irritably, "Enough, walking back and forth in front of me, you’re making my eyes dizzy."

Shen Congwen, somewhat impatient, asked, "Elder Jian, aren’t you worried about Mr. Chu at all?"

Jian Chunqiu’s lips curved slightly as he shook his head with a laugh, "Mr. Shen, you ought to use your brain before worrying about things."

"What do you mean?" Was he implying that he was mindless?

"Do you remember the two Japanese who rushed here hurriedly yesterday?" Jian Chunqiu sighed softly, "They had the Sword Qi I left on Chu Ge; that means they had just met with Chu Ge before rushing over here."

Upon hearing this, Shen Congwen became even more anxious, "Does that mean Mr. Chu was victimized by them?"

A twitch appeared at the corner of Jian Chunqiu’s mouth – did he ever imply that? This young man’s thought process was indeed imaginative.

"I have great confidence in my Sword Qi; those two Japanese are not even worth considering. If Chu Ge really had suffered at their hands, they would have used Chu Ge’s life to threaten us, but they didn’t. Instead, they told their comrades that Chu Ge was not poisoned."

Shen Congwen was confused, he had only learned yesterday of Chu Ge’s poisoning. How could Chu Ge, who had lost his martial arts, confront those two Japanese?

"They... they said that?" Shen Congwen was puzzled; he hadn’t heard the conversation between the Japanese.

Jian Chunqiu closed his eyes, "Eldest Young Master Shen should perhaps spend more time studying, learning other languages, instead of cooping up in his lab messing with Earth Ganoderma all the time."

Shen Congwen was somewhat speechless; Elder Jian’s words were quite disparaging!

"They spoke in Japanese. I have good hearing and I heard them."

Jian Chunqiu clicked his tongue, ordinary people of course wouldn’t catch their quiet conversation, but he was different. Once an Ancient Martial Artist reaches the Divine Communication Realm, not only their vision but also their hearing becomes exceptionally sensitive.

Shen Congwen didn’t understand Ancient Martial Artists, so naturally, he also didn’t grasp what Jian Chunqiu was talking about.

"So, you mean Mr. Chu is actually alright? But why hasn’t he returned? Why is his phone out of service?"

Jian Chunqiu, thoroughly annoyed, glared at him, "How would I know the answers to these questions!"

Soon, Tang Xin sent another message, indicating that the last known location of their vehicle was in Beishan of Su City.

What puzzled them was, from Dang City back to Su City, coming in from the south of Su City, yet Beishan was in Snow Mountain with no roads available; how did they drive there?

Shen Congwen relayed this information to Jian Chunqiu, who also felt the mystery deepening.

Jian Chunqiu stood up, "Let’s head to Beishan and check it out."

...

After the needles were removed from the child, Master Guangde took them out and the child woke up shortly after.

His eyes, large as grapes, rolled around slightly; he moved his body a bit before slowly sitting up from the ice bed.

He glanced at Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian who suddenly appeared here, slightly stunned before arrogantly turning his head away, ignoring them.

Chu Ge didn’t say anything; he knew any words now would just lead the child to retort out of pride.

Huo Tianqian’s gaze softened a lot towards the child, learning about the child’s situation. Now looking at the child, he surprisingly found him somewhat endearing.

"Hey! You two, why are you staring at me like that!"

The child felt his hair standing on end from their gazes, feeling like they had somehow transformed.

"It’s nothing, it’s just too cold here, I’m going outside."

Chu Ge smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Huo Tianqian swiftly followed, agreeing, "It really is too cold here, I’m nearly frozen!"

Child: ...

Stepping out from the cave and feeling the outside’s damp warmth, despite being under the same sky and only a few meters apart, the temperature difference was astonishing.

Master Guangde also came outside and called out to Chu Ge, curiosity in his voice, "Nephew, I have something I want to discuss with you, come with me."

That included Huo Tianqian.

Huo Tianqian glanced at Chu Ge before the two of them, puzzled, followed Master Guangde back to the wooden cabin.

There on the cabin’s central table was a secret manual.

That secret manual was the Heart Sutra that Chu Ge had bought at the auction.

"This Heart Sutra was brought here by the child while you were soaking in the bath," Master Guangde explained. "He saw this Heart Sutra, which I had lost years ago, and brought it to me out of curiosity for identification."

Chu Ge was shocked, "This Heart Sutra is also yours?"

Master Guangde nodded, "Actually, this Heart Sutra combined with a wooden fish can trigger a set of secret martial arts manual."
