BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Gu He approached the Dragon Soul Cauldron and gently touched its body. In the instant Gu He made contact with the Dragon Soul Cauldron, a profound set of information flowed into his mind.

Without delay, Gu He focused his consciousness and concentrated on receiving this information. The information wasn't extensive; with Gu He's current soul strength, he effortlessly absorbed its contents.

Through this information, Gu He finally comprehended the origin and purpose of the Dragon Soul Cauldron before him. Dragon Soul Cauldron: Said to have been crafted by ancient Dragon Clan emperors, it contains the essence of dragonkind.

The history of the Dragon Soul Cauldron dates back to the ancient era, signifying its great age. As for its functions, there were several.

Firstly, it could enhance an alchemist's success rate in alchemical refinement. Secondly, being crafted by Dragon Clan emperors, it harbored a strong dragon aura. Infusing it with Dou Qi could unleash a dragon's presence, suppressing all magical beasts.

Thirdly, it contained dragon essence. By infusing it with Dragon Clan blood, one could awaken and control the dragon essence within.

These were the three major functions of the Dragon Soul Cauldron. Thinking back to these functions, Gu He's eyes brightened. He hadn't anticipated that the Dragon Soul Cauldron would possess such remarkable capabilities.

After another moment of admiration, Gu He remembered Liu Ling was still in the room and promptly left the system space. Once Gu He's consciousness returned to his physical body, Liu Ling's excitement gradually subsided.

"I thank Master for bestowing the cauldron upon me." Liu Ling bowed respectfully to Gu He, his tone sincere. "I promised this to you previously; there's no need for excessive courtesy."

Gu He waved his hand dismissively, then added casually, "I promised that once you reached the level of a Six-Star Dou Practitioner, I would grant you another Infusion of Dou Qi. Come here."

"Dou Qi Infusion!" Upon hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling's eyes lit up. Excitedly, he approached Gu He and knelt down. "Focus your attention!"

Watching Liu Ling kneel before him, Gu He uttered a soft command, placing his palm firmly on Liu Ling's back. With a subtle movement of his mind, Gu He channeled his Dou Qi and infused it into Liu Ling's body.

Sensing the surge of formidable power flowing into him, Liu Ling's spirit surged, wasting no time. As the potent and wild energy surged within him, Liu Ling immediately felt his meridians experiencing a sensation of swelling and bursting.

His face paled, and he quickly guided the energy towards the Dou Qi vortex within him. Soon, Liu Ling's aura began to undergo a transformation. Within less than twenty breaths, a muffled sound emanated from within Liu Ling.

Seven-Star Dou Practitioner! In an instant, Liu Ling successfully advanced to the level of a Seven-Star Dou Practitioner.

But it wasn't over yet; Gu He continued the Dou Qi infusion. After around thirty breaths, Liu Ling's aura changed once again.

Eight-Star Dou Practitioner! By now, Liu Ling was feeling a piercing pain, but he persevered through gritted teeth. After several dozen more breaths, Liu Ling's aura shifted once more.

Nine-Star Dou Practitioner! In just over a hundred breaths, Liu Ling consecutively advanced through three realms. From a Six-Star Dou Practitioner to a Nine-Star Dou Practitioner!

"Master, please stop. I can't endure it any longer!" At this moment, Liu Ling felt as if his meridians were about to tear apart. He urgently shouted.

Continuing the Dou Qi infusion further could potentially damage his meridians. For a practitioner, meridians were of utmost importance; any harm to them would greatly limit his future achievements.

Hearing Liu Ling's plea, a hint of disappointment flashed in Gu He's eyes. However, for Liu Ling's safety, Gu He immediately ceased the Dou Qi infusion.

The moment Gu He stopped infusing his Dou Qi, the system began its calculations.

[Ding, detection of the host providing Half-Day Cultivation to Senior Disciple Liu Ling. Congratulations, host, for triggering a ten-thousandfold return. You have gained Thirteen Years of Cultivation.]

[Thirteen Years of Cultivation has been deposited into the system space. Please check it promptly.]

"Half-Day Cultivation..."

Hearing the system's prompt, Gu He looked somewhat speechless at Liu Ling. This lad couldn't even endure for half a day of cultivation. Quite disappointing. Fortunately, the subsequent activation of the ten-thousandfold return was a decent outcome.

Thirteen years of cultivation would be sufficient for him to break through several levels. Watching Liu Ling focused on absorbing the Dou Qi within his body, Gu He had the urge to give him a good slap.

He couldn't even endure half a day of cultivation; he truly didn't live up to expectations. The lad's physical meridians seemed excessively fragile, as if he had never undergone any tempering.

At this moment, Gu He had already made a decision; he would diligently train Liu Ling in the future. After waiting for half an hour, Liu Ling slowly opened his eyes.

Feeling the surging power within him, Liu Ling's heart brimmed with excitement. Dou Qi infusion was indeed invigorating! The sensation of his cultivation skyrocketing was something he would never forget.

However, lost in the excitement of his cultivation's rapid progress, Liu Ling failed to notice Gu He's slightly darkened expression. This lad was thrilled over receiving such a small amount of Dou Qi. Truly an unimpressive fellow.

"Cough cough..." Watching Liu Ling who seemed almost ready to dance with joy, Gu He couldn't help but cough lightly. Hearing Gu He's voice, Liu Ling blinked slightly, and his excitement quickly subsided.

Approaching Gu He, Liu Ling looked at him with utmost respect and said, "Disciple thanks Master for the Dou Qi infusion." "Hmm."

Gu He responded casually, his gaze assessing Liu Ling with a somewhat malicious intent. "Master, is something the matter?" Sensing Gu He's gaze, for some reason, Liu Ling had a bad premonition.

"It's nothing. Your master still has a technique to impart to you. Come forward," Gu He shook his head and continued. "Another technique to impart!"

Hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling couldn't help but be stirred. Master was indeed too generous, too magnanimous, wasn't he? Not only had he given him the Crimson Snake Cauldron and the Dou Qi infusion, but now he intended to pass on another technique.

Having received quite a few treasures from Gu He, Liu Ling had come to understand one thing at this moment. Teacher's creations are always top-notch! This time, the technique that Master is passing on must undoubtedly be exceptional.

With this thought in mind, Gu He's face showed anticipation as he slowly approached and crouched before Liu Ling. Seated on the bed, Gu He looked at Liu Ling in front of him, and with his palm, he directly touched Liu Ling's forehead.

In the next moment, Gu He's mind moved, and he immediately used his transmission skill, transferring the intermediate Earth-ranked technique "Purple Sun Art" from his own mind to Liu Ling.

Liu Ling's eyes remained shut, and after a while, he felt a stream of information entering his mind. "Focus your mind and calm your breath!" As Gu He uttered these words softly, Liu Ling began to concentrate on absorbing the information.
