BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 67: Future Plans

"Xiaojin?"

The tender voice of the Golden Feather Giant Eagle rang out with a hint of confusion.

"Master, do you think I'm too small?" it continued. "Actually, I can get bigger."

As it spoke, the Golden Feather Giant Eagle emitted waves of golden light, and its body began to visibly grow at a rapid rate before Gu He could react, expanding four or five times in size.

Now, it towered over Gu He like a small mountain.

"Master, do you think I'm big now?" it asked.

Gu He, staring up at the enlarged Golden Feather Giant Eagle, responded with a stiff expression, "Yes, you're very big now."

"What I meant was that Xiaojin is just your nickname," Gu He clarified.

"Nickname? Then what is my real name?" the Golden Feather Giant Eagle asked, still puzzled.

Gu He, looking at the gigantic creature, tilted his head back and said helplessly, "You need to shrink first."

"Okay, Master!"

Hearing this, the Golden Feather Giant Eagle nodded, and with a flash of golden light, its body returned to its previous size.

Gu He looked at the golden feathers on the Giant Eagle's body and pondered for a moment before saying, "Your real name will be Jinyu, and your nickname will be Xiaojin."

"Jinyu, like golden feathers?" muttered the Golden Feather Giant Eagle, somewhat satisfied, nodding its head. "Okay, Master, from now on, my real name is Jinyu, and my nickname is Xiaojin."

Gu He smiled, rubbed the smooth golden feathers on Xiaojin, and then said, "Xiaojin, I have to go out now. You can play by yourself, and I'll come to see you again tomorrow."

Saying this, Gu He prepared to leave the system space.

Xiaojin quickly called out, "Master, I want to go out with you."

"You want to go out too?" Gu He frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "No, your body is too big. It's inconvenient to bring you along."

Xiaojin replied, "Master, I can also become small."

As Xiaojin finished speaking, it once again emitted a golden light, shrinking at a visible speed.

In the end, a golden bird of ordinary size appeared in Gu He's field of vision.

Flapping its wings, the golden bird landed steadily on Gu He's shoulder.

"Master, am I small enough now?" Xiaojin nudged Gu He's face with its head.

"Small enough, small enough."

Gu He looked at the little face on his shoulder with a hint of astonishment.

"Then, Master, can I go out with you now?" Xiaojin asked.

Gu He hesitated for a moment and then said, "I will take you out, but you must promise that without my permission, you cannot reveal your true strength or harm others."

Upon hearing this, Xiaojin nodded without hesitation. "Okay, Master, I promise to follow your instructions."

Satisfied, Gu He nodded contentedly. Then, with a thought, he released Xiaojin directly from the system space.

In the next moment, after Gu He's consciousness returned to his body, Xiaojin's figure appeared magically on his shoulder.

"Master, is this the outside world?" Xiaojin, standing on Gu He's shoulder, observed everything in the room with curiosity in its eyes.

Gu He turned to look at Xiaojin on his shoulder and pointed to the yard outside, speaking with a serious tone, "In the future, you will play in this yard. Without my permission, you must not leave this yard."

Obediently, Xiaojin nodded. "Understood, Master."

"Alright, go and play then."

Seeing Xiaojin being so well-behaved, Gu He couldn't help but smile.

With a flutter of its wings, Xiaojin turned into a golden light and flew out of the room, freely flashing and flying in the yard.

"With Xiaojin, the trip to the Tagor Desert is indeed secure."

Watching Xiaojin's golden figure flickering in the yard, Gu He smiled faintly.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Yun Yun to come back, refine the Emperor Extreme Pill, and then enhance his strength before going to the Tagor Desert. This way, it would undoubtedly be safer.

However, Yun Yun had been gone for over a month without any news, making Gu He somewhat impatient. After staying in the sect for so long, he also wanted to go out. In case he encountered some wild genius and recruited a disciple, it would be wonderful.

But his strength was currently only at the eight-star Dou Emperorlevel. If he went to the Tagor Desert and, unfortunately, encountered the Queen Medusa, it might not end well. Gu He possessed many trump cards, but the opponent was a long-established expert at the peak of the nine-star Dou Emperor level, and she was ruthless. This made Gu He somewhat apprehensive.

If he ended up in a situation similar to what happened to Haibodong, those two big guys would probably cry their eyes out.

However, things were different now. Xiaojin's sudden hatching gave Gu He a pleasant surprise. As an eighth-rank magical beast, Xiaojin, upon hatching, possessed the strength of a peak nine-star Dou Huang. Moreover, with its unparalleled defensive feathers and unstoppable golden sword energy, Xiaojin was undoubtedly invincible among peers.

With Xiaojin protecting him, Gu He no longer needed to fear the Queen Medusa. Therefore, he had the idea of setting off for the Tagor Desert in advance.

This time, his main purpose in going to the Tagor Desert was for the Qing Lin with the Azure Serpent Three Flower Pupils.

If he successfully recruited it, he would gain three additional chances every month to trigger the system's reward mechanism. Of course, for Gu He, the most crucial point was the additional opportunity for imparting and transmitting knowledge, which would help enhance his own cultivation.

Having returned to the system after teaching disciples, the fastest way for him to become stronger was to attract more genius disciples.

During this period, Gu He had already made plans for the future. After breaking through to the Dou Venerate level, he would no longer stay in the Yunlan Sect. Instead, he planned to travel across the northwest countries, search for talents, and recruit them one by one.

After traveling through the various countries, he would then take a position as a mentor at the Jia Ma Academy, preferably earning the title of an elder.

Gu He believed that, with his status as a seventh-grade alchemist, this should not be difficult to achieve at the Jia Ma Academy. The academy gathered talents from the entire northwest region, and perhaps he could recruit some excellent disciples.

Among them, Zi yue of the Taixu Ancient Dragon clan was Gu He's first target.

As for the vast Central Plains, Gu He had no plans to go there until he broke through to the Dou Saint level. The waters there were too deep, and without reaching the Dou Saint level, he feared he wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Wait for two more days. During this time, I'll refine more spirit fluid for their body tempering. After I leave, their physical training won't be delayed."

After some contemplation, Gu He finalized his plan. Even if he left, Linyin and the Little Doctor's physical training couldn't be paused. In fact, Gu He intended to increase the intensity, or else they wouldn't be able to keep up with his pace.
