Thirteen Years of Cultivation!

Gu He slowly approached the Dragon Soul Cauldron and reached out to stroke its surface.

The instant Gu He touched the Dragon Soul Cauldron, a profound stream of information entered his mind.

Gu He did not dare be negligent. He quickly focused his mind and concentrated on receiving the information.

The information was not particularly vast, and with Gu He's current soul power, he easily absorbed its contents.

Through this information, Gu He finally understood the Dragon Soul Cauldron's details and uses.

Dragon Soul Cauldron: Legend had it that it was forged by the Dragon Clan's emperor in ancient times and contained the essence of the Dragon Clan.

This was the Dragon Soul Cauldron's origin. It came from ancient times and had existed for ages.

As for the Dragon Soul Cauldron's uses, there were many.

First, it could increase an alchemist's success rate when refining pills.

Second, since the Dragon Soul Cauldron had been forged by the Dragon Clan's emperor, it contained an intense dragon aura. When activated with Dou Qi, it could release dragon might and suppress all magical beasts.

Third, it contained the essence of the Dragon Clan. As long as dragon bloodline was dripped into it, the Dragon Clan essence within could be awakened and used for one's own purposes.

These were the Dragon Soul Cauldron's three greatest functions.

As he recalled these functions, Gu He's eyes brightened slightly.

He had not expected the Dragon Soul Cauldron to possess so many miraculous uses.

After admiring it for a while longer, Gu He remembered that Liu Ling was still in the room and hurriedly left the System Space.

After Gu He's consciousness returned to his body, the excitement in Liu Ling's heart gradually calmed down as well.

"Thank you, Teacher, for bestowing this cauldron upon me."

Liu Ling bowed deeply to Gu He, his tone exceedingly sincere.

"This was something I had already promised you. There is no need for such formality."

Gu He waved his hand and said casually, "I promised back then that once you broke through to Six-star Dou Zhe, I would give you another chance at Power Transmission. Come forward."

"Power Transmission!"

Liu Ling's eyes lit up at Gu He's words. He then excitedly came before Gu He and crouched down.

"Focus!"

Gu He gave a soft shout as he looked at Liu Ling crouching before him, then pressed his palm firmly against Liu Ling's back.

With a thought, Gu He directly circulated his Dou Qi and poured it into Liu Ling's body.

Feeling a surge of immense power flood into his body, Liu Ling's heart trembled, and he did not dare slack off in the slightest.

As the powerful and violent energy entered his body, Liu Ling instantly felt as though his meridians were about to burst.

Liu Ling's face turned pale, and he hurriedly guided the power toward the Dou Qi vortex within his body.

Very soon, Liu Ling's aura began to gradually change.

Less than twenty breaths into Gu He's Power Transmission, a muffled sound came from within Liu Ling's body.

Seven-star Dou Zhe!

In an instant, Liu Ling successfully broke through to the strength of a Seven-star Dou Zhe.

But it was not over yet. Gu He continued the Power Transmission.

After more than thirty breaths, Liu Ling's aura changed once more.

Eight-star Dou Zhe!

At this moment, waves of piercing pain were already coming from within Liu Ling's body, but he still gritted his teeth and endured.

After several dozen more breaths, Liu Ling's aura changed again.

Nine-star Dou Zhe!

In the span of just over a hundred breaths, Liu Ling had broken through three realms in succession.

He had gone from a Six-star Dou Zhe to a Nine-star Dou Zhe!

"Teacher, stop! This disciple can't hold on any longer!"

At this moment, Liu Ling felt as though the meridians in his body were about to be torn apart, and he hurriedly cried out.

If the Power Transmission continued, it would damage the meridians in his body.

For a Dou Zhe, meridians were the most important thing.

If one's meridians were damaged, one's future achievements would inevitably be limited.

Upon hearing Liu Ling's words, a trace of disappointment flashed through Gu He's eyes.

But for Liu Ling's safety, Gu He immediately stopped the Power Transmission.

The instant Gu He stopped pouring in Dou Qi, the system immediately began calculating the result.

"Ding! Detected that the host bestowed half a day's cultivation upon his eldest disciple, Liu Ling. Congratulations, host, for triggering Ten Thousandfold Return and obtaining thirteen years of cultivation."

"Thirteen years of cultivation have been deposited into the System Space. Please collect them promptly."

"Half a day's cultivation..."

Hearing the system prompt, Gu He looked at Liu Ling somewhat speechlessly.

This kid could not even endure half a day's cultivation.

What a disappointment.

Fortunately, Ten Thousandfold Return had triggered afterward, so the gain was not bad.

Thirteen years of cultivation were enough for him to break through several levels.

Looking at Liu Ling, who was currently concentrating on absorbing the Dou Qi inside his body, Gu He almost wanted to slap him across the face.

He could not even endure a mere half day's cultivation. What a promising disciple.

This kid's physical body and meridians were simply too frail.

It was obvious that they had never been tempered before.

At that moment, Gu He had already made up his mind to properly train Liu Ling in the future.

Only after waiting for a full half hour did Liu Ling slowly open his eyes.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Liu Ling's heart was filled with excitement.

Power Transmission was amazing!

He would never forget the feeling of his cultivation soaring so dramatically.

However, immersed in the excitement of his rapidly increased cultivation, Liu Ling failed to notice Gu He's slightly darkened expression.

This kid had received such a small amount of Dou Qi, yet he was already ecstatic.

He truly was a good-for-nothing.

"Cough, cough..."

Seeing Liu Ling nearly unable to stop himself from dancing with joy, Gu He could not help coughing lightly.

Hearing Gu He's voice, Liu Ling froze slightly, and the excitement in his heart quickly subsided.

He came before Gu He and looked at him with utmost respect. "Thank you, Teacher, for the Power Transmission."

"Mm." Gu He responded indifferently. His eyes examined Liu Ling, carrying a hint of ill intent.

"Teacher, what is wrong?"

Feeling Gu He's gaze, Liu Ling somehow had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Nothing. I have another cultivation technique to pass on to you. Come forward," Gu He said, shaking his head.

"You're giving me another cultivation technique!"

Liu Ling's heart shook upon hearing Gu He's words.

His teacher was simply too kind, too generous, wasn't he?

Not only had he given him the Crimson Snake Cauldron and performed Power Transmission, but now he even intended to pass down a cultivation technique.

Having received quite a few treasures from Gu He, Liu Ling had come to understand one principle.

Anything produced by Teacher was bound to be exceptional!

The cultivation technique his teacher was giving him this time certainly would not be ordinary either.

With anticipation written across his face, Liu Ling slowly approached Gu He and crouched before him.

Gu He sat on the edge of the bed. Looking at Liu Ling crouching before him, he extended his hand and pressed it directly against Liu Ling's crown.

The next moment, with a thought from Gu He, he directly used the Empowerment Divine Ability to transmit the Earth-tier mid-level cultivation technique, the Purple Sun Art, from his mind to Liu Ling.

Liu Ling closed his eyes. A moment later, he felt a stream of information burrow into his mind.

"Calm your mind and focus!"

Following Gu He's soft shout, Liu Ling began concentrating on receiving the information.
