I am only mortal but why do you all sees me as a immortal

Go to the door

Three days passed in a flash.

In the morning, the old man's shop was still hidden deep in the alley. For the past three days, he had hung a sign in front of his shop saying "No visitors allowed". Of course, no one took it seriously. Most people living in the west of the city knew him. The old man had a strange temper and was quite lonely. Instead, people thought that he had suffered some misfortune in the past and felt very pitiful.

However, his carving skills are indeed very exquisite.

The old man has not rested for three days, and even Lu Yan has been watching him for three days.

"Such a vigorous and profound truth is rarely seen in the world... I, Gu Yin, am truly blessed..."

In the small house, the old man was working at the desk. His carving knife was slowly moving across the entire sandalwood plaque. Every stroke of the knife seemed to carry his deepest understanding of the meaning of calligraphy. The calligraphy scroll that Gu Heng gave him had been put into his space ring.

The old man knew that his understanding of calligraphy was far inferior to Gu Heng's.

Therefore, he could never truly understand the great principles and ideas contained in the scroll. Therefore, carving a plaque was just a piece of cake for the old man. He could make a plaque with a simple sweep of his true energy.

But not this time.

In order to firmly imprint his insights from the scroll in his mind, the old man chose the most old-fashioned way - carving slowly.

The very slow kind.

"…Master has entered the state of enlightenment."

Lu Yan sat aside, watching the old man's carving nervously. With every stroke of the knife, his eyes seemed to flash with a faint light, and his understanding of calligraphy became deeper. His eyes were dry and bloodshot.

The same is true for the old man.

In the past three days, he has almost neglected sleep and food, and his only goal is to comprehend the great doctrine contained in the book. This is also the key to his breakthrough. If he does not cherish this opportunity, he may never reach a higher level in this life.

He didn't want to miss it.

In a flash, another two or three hours passed.

The old man breathed a sigh of relief and put down the carving knife.

In the end, he completed what Mr. Gu asked him to do.

"Huh...finally done!"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, then looked down at his work.

On the plaque, there are four powerful carved characters "Gu's Medical Clinic". Although they are just carved words, they are full of true meaning, outlining the mountains and rivers, dragons and phoenixes flying, and are lifelike, just like living things. If a cultivator looks carefully, he can feel the majestic meaning of embracing all rivers and seas contained in them.

"Alas, it's still a little bit off after all..."

The old man sighed.

"But, Master's handwriting is obviously quite good. I can only see one or two points of its charm..." Lu Yan couldn't help but feel sorry for the old man.

"What do you know?"

The old man stared: "It only has the form, but not the meaning. It's just my poor imitation."

He wasn't even sure whether this plaque could satisfy Gu Heng.

The old man said to Lu Yan with a serious face: "Remember, that being is much better than me. If you want to reach this level, you need to study hard. Only then will you have hope. Don't slack off."
