Master Wuya didn't throw them all in at once, but rather one plant after another, clearly indicating that the medicinal herbs had to be added in order.

Liu Xiaobao didn't understand these things, so he didn't ask any more questions. As the fire started, Liu Xiaobao felt the water in the bucket gradually getting warmer.

As he watched the steam slowly rise, Liu Xiaobao felt a little panicked, worried that he might actually be cooked.

Especially when Liu Xiaobao felt blisters rising from the soles of his feet, he panicked even more. He knew the water in the bucket was about to boil, and at that moment he even considered giving up.

However, just as Liu Xiaobao felt increasingly hot and was sweating profusely, he suddenly felt the temperature magically drop. He asked Master Wuya about this question.

"Master, the water is clearly almost boiling, but why don't I feel it's hot?"

Master Wuya chuckled lightly: "Nonsense, this contains thousand-year-old snow lotus, which has the strongest effect of calming the mind and reducing internal heat. Cooling down is nothing. If the water weren't boiling, this whole bucket of water would have frozen solid!"

After listening to Master Wuya's words, Liu Xiaobao was no longer worried about being cooked, except for exclaiming in amazement. He relaxed and treated it as if he were taking a hot bath.

Liu Xiaobao had no idea that he would be boiled for nine hours straight, until midnight, when Master Wuya finally opened the wooden tub and let Liu Xiaobao out.

After Liu Xiaobao got out of the tub, he immediately felt a very obvious change in his body, but he didn't have time to feel it carefully.

He intended to put on his clothes first, but was stopped by Master Wuya.

"Don't put on any clothes, otherwise it'll be too dark and I'm afraid I'll accidentally prick the wrong acupuncture point and kill you! Stop dawdling and come with me into the Dragon Cave. Su Jie, you stay here at the entrance and protect us!"

Hearing what Master Wuya said, Liu Xiaobao didn't dare to joke with his own life, so he simply went all out and followed Master Wuya naked into the Dragon Cave.

Su Jie stayed at the cave entrance to guard it, as instructed by Daoist Wuya.

After walking about fifty meters into the Dragon Cave, Liu Xiaobao saw Master Huo again.

At this moment, Master Huo (Wang Qian's) was sitting cross-legged on a flat, large rock. Two torches were lit on either side of the cave wall. Although the situation inside the cave could not be seen clearly in the firelight, it was obvious that Master Huo's face had become much paler than in the afternoon.

At this moment, Master Huo spoke up.

"This place is a dragon vein, and with the blessing of the earth's dragon energy, the success of the power transfer will be more certain. Boss Bao, I'm about to pass out. Now, sit down in front of me right now, in my position, with your back to me, cross-legged!"

Liu Xiaobao had originally intended to say a few words of concern to Master Huo, but upon hearing what Master Huo said, he dared not delay any longer and immediately sat cross-legged in front of Master Huo as instructed.

After Liu Xiaobao sat down, Master Huo turned to Daoist Wuya and said, "Daoist Wuya, I'm about to begin the transmission of skills. I'll leave everything else to you!"

Master Wuya nodded with a sorrowful expression.

Master Huo didn't say anything more. He raised his hands and placed them on Liu Xiaobao's back.

When Master Huo's hand touched Liu Xiaobao's back, Liu Xiaobao immediately felt as if two needles had been stuck into his heart.

Liu Xiaobao felt a pain and opened his eyes to find that it was Daoist Wuya giving him acupuncture. Just as he was about to ask Daoist Wuya what he was doing, Daoist Wuya spoke first.

"Don't move or speak. I'm opening your acupoints and transferring energy to you. It will hurt a little, but grit your teeth and bear it. If you open your mouth and let your energy leak out, it will be a waste of Master Huo's skill."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao quickly closed his lips and then closed his eyes again.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Xiaobao felt a continuous stream of heat emanating from Master Huo's palm, which flowed towards the spot where Daoist Wuya had inserted acupuncture needles.

Liu Xiaobao also had his eyes closed at this moment, otherwise he would have seen the two silver needles that were inserted into his body slowly emerging.

Just as the silver needles detached automatically, Master Wuya inserted two more needles into two other acupoints on Liu Xiaobao, drawing the heat that Master Huo had transmitted into Liu Xiaobao's body back to those two acupoints.

During this time, Liu Xiaobao felt as if his blood vessels were on fire, burning and throbbing with pain.

However, after thinking about what Master Wuya had said, he gritted his teeth and endured it. He didn't want to open his mouth and cry out in pain, thus wasting Master Huo's transmission of skills.

After Master Wuya repeated this operation fifty-four times, no one knew how much time had passed.

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao suddenly felt the pain in his body disappear out of thin air. In its place, he felt full of power, giving him an urge to roar to the sky.

Just then, Master Wuya finally spoke again.

"Alright, I have used the Qi Transfer Technique to channel Master Huo's life's work into your 108 main acupoints and opened up your meridians. Master Huo's transfer of power is now complete. You can stand up now!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao immediately opened his eyes. He tried to clench his fists and felt that he could kill a bull with one punch. He smiled happily.

When Liu Xiaobao was about to excitedly share his joy with Master Huo, he turned around and froze.

Because he noticed that Master Huo no longer had the same spirit he had seen yesterday. Now, Master Huo was not only pale, but also had lifeless eyes, looking like he was on his deathbed and could die at any moment.

Liu Xiaobao wasn't stupid. He knew that Master Huo's current state was due to the transfer of his skills to him. His joy vanished instantly, and he asked Master Huo with concern, "Senior Huo, are you alright?"

Master Huo shook his head weakly and said, "It's nothing, Mr. Bao, I'm just nearing my end, I'm about to die!"

Hearing Master Huo's words, Liu Xiaobao was speechless. He was already nearing his end and still said nothing was wrong?

Although the grammatical errors in his words were somewhat comical, Liu Xiaobao couldn't laugh at all. He said to Master Huo with some guilt, "Senior Huo, didn't you say you had twenty days left to live? Did your condition worsen because you passed on your skills to me?"

Master Huo chuckled softly.

"Hehehe... We're all going to die sooner or later, it's just a matter of dying a few days earlier, it doesn't matter, Mr. Bao, you don't need to feel guilty about it. Anyway, I won't live, I'm already very content to be able to help you fulfill your wish to become a martial artist before I die!"

The more Master Huo acted as if nothing had happened, the more guilty Liu Xiaobao felt.

For some reason, even though Liu Xiaobao had only met Master Huo three times, he felt that Master Huo was like his closest elder.

Seeing that Master Huo was about to pass away, Liu Xiaobao felt as if he was about to lose a loved one, and his heart was filled with grief.

“President Bao, don’t be sad for me. I’ve practiced martial arts my whole life, and only my internal energy has been with me through life and death. It’s like my other life. Now, my internal energy has been transferred to your body, President Bao. From a certain perspective, it’s like extending my life. So, President Bao, you don’t need to be sad about my death. But before I die, I want to ask you for one more thing.”

Hearing Master Huo's words, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but shed tears: "Senior Huo, please give me your instructions. Whether I can do it or not, I will do my best to complete it for you."

Master Huo nodded slightly and said slowly.

“Su Jie has a hard life. He was abandoned by his parents when he was young and has only ever loved one woman in his life. Although he seems very carefree, I know that he has never forgotten that woman. If possible, I hope that you can help him and that woman rekindle their relationship. That way, Su Jie won’t have to grow old alone like me.”

Although Liu Xiaobao was a little surprised by Master Huo's request, he still nodded solemnly and agreed: "Okay, Senior Huo, don't worry, no matter what it takes, I will help Su Jie and the woman he likes get back together."

Master Huo first smiled and nodded to Liu Xiaobao, then looked at Daoist Wuya beside him and said, "Daoist Wuya, thank you for your help. I must take my leave now. I am very happy to have met you in this life..."

As soon as Master Huo finished speaking, his eyes slowly closed, and his head slowly drooped down!

Upon seeing this, Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but call out softly twice, "Senior Huo! Senior Huo!"

Master Huo did not respond again. Liu Xiaobao realized that Master Huo had passed away, and he unconsciously shed two lines of tears once more.

Master Wuya burst into tears, sobbing, "You filthy scoundrel! You're going to die, so why did you have to say such mushy things to me before you died? You're just trying to make me suffer! You wait in the underworld, it won't be long before I come back to settle this score with you!"

Just then, Su Jie must have heard Master Wuya's cries and ran into the cave.

"Master..."

When Su Jie saw Master Huo pass away peacefully, he immediately embraced Master Huo's body and burst into tears.

None of the three, including Liu Xiaobao, comforted each other, because they were all quite heartbroken.

Even Liu Xiaobao himself didn't realize that he was still perfectly clean.

After the three of them had been grieving for a while, Master Wuya finally spoke to Su Jie.

"Alright, Su Jie, everyone has to leave this world eventually. Your master left with a smile on his face, so don't be too sad. Go and prepare a coffin so he can be laid to rest outside Dragon Cave!"

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao gently patted Su Jie's shoulder: "Let's go, I'll go with you to pick out a good coffin for Senior Huo!"

After saying that, Liu Xiaobao stood up first and walked out of the cave.

Although Su Jie was heartbroken, he knew that the dead could not be brought back to life. After calming himself down, he stood up and followed Liu Xiaobao out of the Dragon Cave.

Suzhou, Xishan.

A new grave has been erected on a small hill outside Longdong Cave.

With the combined efforts of Liu Xiaobao, Su Jie, and Daoist Wuya, Master Huo was buried in this beautiful place.

People don't have much feeling about life and death until they bury someone themselves.

I just keep thinking to myself, when someone dies, they're dead.

But after personally burying someone, one gains a closest and more intimate understanding of death.

A person who could breathe and speak just a moment ago can now only lie quietly in a coffin.

From witnessing Master Huo's passing to placing him in a coffin and burying him, Liu Xiaobao personally experienced the process of a person's life from birth to death. Standing in front of Master Huo's grave at this moment, Liu Xiaobao was deeply moved.

Humans, whether poor or rich, are born into this world and in the end can only turn into a handful of dust.

Liu Xiaobao felt not only gratitude but also immense respect for Master Huo.

It was only because Liu Xiaobao had witnessed Master Huo's indifference to death, how nonchalant Master Huo was when facing death!

At this moment, Liu Xiaobao and the other two had no more tears left, but their hearts were still heavy with sorrow.

Su Jie remained silent, kneeling quietly before Master Huo's grave.

Neither Daoist Wuya nor Liu Xiaobao tried to persuade Su Jie. Seeing Su Jie's state, they simply sighed and left him kneeling there.

After saying his farewells to Master Huo's grave, Master Wuya said to Liu Xiaobao, "Gather your energy and strike me with all your might!"

Liu Xiaobao didn't understand, but he still followed Wuya Daoist's instructions, took a breath, and then slapped Wuya Daoist with his palm.

Master Wuya did not resist and took the blow from Liu Xiaobao with his own body, but he was not knocked back even a step.

At this moment, Daoist Wuya nodded and said.

"Not bad. This time, the transfer of Qi to you was very successful. I originally thought you could only inherit one-third of Master Huo's power, but because the quality of the medicinal herbs you found exceeded my expectations, and the earth vein dragon energy in the Dragon Cave was very abundant, you actually inherited three-quarters of his power. In the future, you should make good use of his power and not let him down!"
