"Han Yue pays respects to Master!"
Seeing Gu He nod, Han Yue immediately bowed without hesitation.
She became his disciple so quickly, as though afraid Gu He would change his mind the next second.
"So Master is taking another disciple. Hehe, doesn't that mean I'll have a little junior sister from now on?" Zi Yan, who stood nearby, chuckled when she saw Han Yue's actions, an unusual gleam in her eyes.
"Enough, get up. There are no such tedious formalities under me," Gu He said with a faint smile.
"Thank you, Master!" Han Yue rose and replied respectfully, unable to hide the joy on her face.
Looking at the tall girl standing before him, Gu He silently said, System, inspect Han Yue's basic attributes.
Sixth Disciple: Han Yue Comprehension: 8 Aptitude: 8 Fortune: 7 Constitution: Three Absolute Cold Body (Unactivated) Cultivation: Seven-Star Dou Ling. Cultivation Method: ... Dou Technique: ...
She actually has an unactivated special constitution! Gu He thought in surprise as he examined Han Yue's attributes.
If the Three Absolute Cold Body could fully develop, it likely would not be inferior to the Calamity Poison Body. Once he found an opportunity to help her activate it in the future, her aptitude would naturally improve greatly.
"Cough!"
Though his heart stirred, Gu He merely coughed lightly without revealing anything. "Since you've entered my sect, I'll first explain the rules here."
Han Yue grew somewhat nervous at Gu He's words.
At that moment, she could not help thinking of Zi Yan. Before this, not even a single elder had been able to control Zi Yan, yet she had become so well-behaved before Master. The rules here must be extremely strict.
"Master, let me, as her senior sister, tell junior sister about the rules," Zi Yan suddenly said in her childish voice, though her words sounded somewhat mature.
"Very well. Then you, as the senior sister, may explain the rules on my behalf," Gu He said with a light laugh and a nod.
"I'll trouble you, Senior Sister Zi Yan!"
Han Yue turned and respectfully bowed to her little senior sister.
"Hehe, junior sister, let's go over there and talk." Zi Yan walked up to Han Yue with a chuckle, then reached out her fair little hand, grabbed the hem of Han Yue's dress, and headed toward a large tree in the courtyard.
"Senior Sister, slow down, my dress..." Seeing her silver gauze skirt nearly being lifted, Han Yue's face flashed with panic as she hurriedly pressed it down with her hand.
Thank goodness!
Glancing at Gu He, Han Yue discovered that he had somehow already turned his back. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Senior Sister, are there any rules here that I need to pay special attention to?" Han Yue asked curiously after they arrived behind the tree.
"Junior Sister, let me tell you a secret. There are no rules at all here, and Master will definitely give you three welcome gifts later!" Zi Yan said with a slightly proud tone in her childish voice.
"No rules at all, and he'll even give me three welcome gifts?" Han Yue blurted out in astonishment.
"That's right! If you don't believe me, we can make a bet." Zi Yan grinned.
"A bet?"
"Yep. If I win, you'll go to Master and help me ask for a hundred of these Spirit Medicine Pills. Of course, if I lose, I'll give you the Seventh-Grade Pill from the rewards for the last Strong Ranking competition." Zi Yan somehow produced a black pill in her hand. As she spoke, she waved it before Han Yue's eyes, then swiftly stuffed it into her mouth and began chewing.
"Alright, Senior Sister, I'll bet with you!"
Though Han Yue found it strange, the temptation of a Seventh-Grade Pill was too great. Thus, she readily accepted Zi Yan's wager.
"Junior Sister, you must accept all three welcome gifts. Otherwise, if Master gets angry, he might expel you from the sect," Zi Yan reminded her after seeing Han Yue agree. "And if you ask for them yourself, Master will probably be even happier!"
"Is it really alright to ask for welcome gifts myself?" Han Yue looked somewhat hesitant after hearing Zi Yan's words.
"Anyway, if Master gives you anything, just accept all of it!" Zi Yan said anxiously.
"Senior Sister... there really aren't any other rules here, right?" Han Yue asked uneasily.
"Nope, that's all!"
"Alright then. Thank you, Senior Sister Zi Yan!" Han Yue bowed to Zi Yan, then walked toward Gu He with trepidation in her heart.
"Your senior sister explained everything clearly to you, didn't she?"
"Yes, Master. Senior Sister told me everything. When will Master give me my welcome gifts?" Han Yue's face reddened slightly as she held out her jade-like hand, speaking somewhat bashfully.
It seems your senior sister taught you very well, Gu He muttered inwardly when he saw Han Yue being so direct.
The next moment, Gu He beckoned Han Yue over. "Since you already know, squat down in front of me first."
Squat down?
Senior Sister Zi Yan did not seem to mention this.
That shouldn't be right. If Senior Sister Zi Yan had tricked me, wouldn't she lose a Seventh-Grade Pill to me?
Though puzzled, Han Yue still squatted down as Gu He instructed.
"A very intense surge of energy may enter your body shortly. If you feel that you cannot withstand it, tell me immediately," Gu He reminded her.
"Mm!" Han Yue nodded gently, then slowly closed her eyes.
Gu He skillfully placed his palm against Han Yue's forehead and silently said, System, transmit cultivation to my sixth disciple, Han Yue.
While Han Yue was still wondering what was happening, she suddenly felt a massive force enter her body through Gu He's palm.
Han Yue's expression changed drastically. What was Master doing?
"Focus and calm your mind. Absorb this power properly!" Gu He's voice suddenly rang out.
There was no time to think. Han Yue could only do as she was told and devote herself completely to receiving the power.
In just a single breath, a muffled sound came from within Han Yue's body, and her aura changed along with it.
Her cultivation directly broke through from a Seven-Star Dou Ling to an Eight-Star Dou Ling.
I actually broke through again!
Feeling her strength surge violently, Han Yue was suddenly incomparably excited and focused even more intently on absorbing the power Gu He was transmitting.
Very soon, Han Yue's cultivation broke through to the Nine-Star Dou Ling realm, then reached the peak of Nine-Star Dou Ling, only one step away from breaking through to the Dou Wang realm.
However, it was not over yet. The power within her body continued to increase.
A moment later, Han Yue's aura underwent another intense transformation.
She had actually broken through directly from a Nine-Star Dou Ling to a One-Star Dou Wang.
However, after breaking through to the Dou Wang realm, Han Yue's face gradually flushed red. She could clearly feel that her body could no longer absorb that powerful force.
"Master, I can't hold on much longer."
