Nineth-Grade Treasure Pill!

"Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill, a Seventh-Grade Pill!" Gu He said softly. "It was refined using the magic cores of two sixth-tier dragon-type magical beasts that had been dead for no more than seven days."

"Dragon..." Upon hearing Gu He's introduction to the pill, Zi Yan immediately came to some realization.

Seeing the change in Zi Yan's expression, Gu He guessed that the trace of dragon aura contained within the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill had just caused a faint resonance with Zi Yan's bloodline.

"Take the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill. This pill may have the effect of allowing one to undergo nirvana and be reborn!"

After learning of the pill's effects, Zi Yan took a deep breath and abruptly stuffed the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill into her mouth. Before she even had time to chew, the golden pill turned into a stream of heat that poured down her throat and into her body.

The surging heat flowed into her body like a flood. Sensing this powerful energy, Zi Yan became somewhat nervous and hurriedly calmed herself, waiting for the moment the medicinal power erupted.

However, after Zi Yan had prepared herself, the expected eruption of medicinal power never came. The flood-like heat instead slowly settled, like water flowing into a sponge, until it completely vanished.

"Eh!"

Her tightly shut eyes slowly opened. Zi Yan looked over her completely unresponsive body and muttered, "Teacher, why is there no reaction at all after swallowing this Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill? It's like drinking a cup of plain water!"

"What reaction do you want? The Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill isn't some pill that boosts one's strength. Its greatest effect is to rebuild after destruction... That medicinal power has already seeped into your body. If you ever find yourself at death's door in the future and are fortunate enough to activate it, you will naturally gain unexpected benefits. For now, just treat it as a cup of water." Seeing Zi Yan's somewhat dejected expression, Gu He could not help but laugh.

"Doesn't it have any other effects at all?" Zi Yan muttered.

"It does."

"It's just that it generally requires careful..."

Gu He had intended to explain further, but before he could finish, Zi Yan suddenly said with delight, "There really is something else."

"When I just examined the condition inside my body, I found a strange energy in my meridians. This energy is extremely similar to the energy already in my body, but it seems a little stronger."

Hearing this, Gu He could not help but sigh inwardly. As expected of the Primordial Void Dragon Bloodline, which is even higher-grade than the bloodline of sixth-tier dragon-type magical beasts. It actually absorbed this dragon aura so naturally.

At the same time, another system notification sounded in Gu He's mind.

"Ding, detected that the host bestowed upon the fifth disciple a Seventh-Grade Pill, the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill. Congratulations to the host for receiving a Ten Thousandfold Return: one Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, the Nine-Colored Profound Fate Pill!"

"Ding, the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, the Nine-Colored Profound Fate Pill, has been distributed to the System Space. Please collect it."

A Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill!

Hearing the system notification, Gu He was instantly overjoyed. This was the first time he had obtained a pill of such a high grade.

He hurriedly sent his consciousness into the System Space. At this moment, an egg-sized, nine-colored pill floated within it, its surface shimmering with nine different colors.

A hazy mass of white mist also swirled around the nine-colored pill.

Nine-Colored Profound Fate Pill: Grade, Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill. After consumption, its vast medicinal power will accumulate somewhere within the body and automatically activate when the user suffers severe injuries. Even if one's head is cut off, or only mutilated limbs and withered bones remain, one can rapidly recover (its effectiveness greatly decreases for Dou Di and above). Furthermore, the user will gain nine opportunities to increase their cultivation. Each of the nine portions of medicinal power is different, so the conditions for activation are also different each time.

Seeing the powerful effects of this Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, the smile on Gu He's face grew even wider.

With this Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, it was equivalent to having another life. Moreover, those nine opportunities to raise one's cultivation might very well create a cultivation genius.

However, he had already devoured the Undying Fire and absorbed the power of Divine Phoenix Essence Blood, gaining control over the Power of Nirvana. This Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill seemed somewhat redundant to him.

Furthermore, those nine opportunities to increase cultivation would likely be of little use to someone like him, who had cheats.

With that in mind, Gu He decided not to use the Nine-Colored Profound Fate Pill himself. Instead, he wanted to keep it as a gift for when he next returned to see Yun Yun.

With this Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, Yun Yun would not only be able to raise her cultivation quickly, but would also gain greater means to withstand life-and-death crises.

Having made his decision, Gu He withdrew his consciousness from the System Space.

"Zi Yan, your teacher still has one final gift to give you."

Upon hearing this, anticipation immediately appeared in Zi Yan's dark eyes, and she obediently closed them.

Gu He familiarly pressed a palm against Zi Yan's crown, then used the Empowerment Divine Ability to pass the low-tier Earth Grade Dou Technique, Aurora Palm, which he had seized from the Black Corner Region, on to Zi Yan.

Before Zi Yan could react, she felt an enormous amount of information flood into her mind.

She hurriedly focused her mind and calmly concentrated on receiving the vast amount of information.

A moment later, Zi Yan finally finished reading the information in her mind.

At the same time, the system notification sounded once more in Gu He's mind.

"Ding! Detected that the host bestowed upon the fifth disciple, Zi Yan, the low-tier Earth Grade Dou Technique, Aurora Fist. Congratulations to the host for receiving a Ten Thousandfold Return: the Heavenly Grade Low-Tier Dou Technique, Heavenly Profound Palm."

"The Heavenly Grade Low-Tier Dou Technique, Heavenly Profound Palm, has been distributed to the System Space. Please collect it."

A Heaven-Tier Dou Technique, Heavenly Profound Palm!

Seeing the returned reward, Gu He's heart stirred. This Dou Technique was quite suitable for fighting enemies when he did not use his trump cards.

"Thank you, Teacher!"

After receiving these three gifts from Gu He, Zi Yan's attitude toward him was no longer as simple as merely wanting to eat a pill.

Gu He's method of passing on techniques and empowering her made Zi Yan feel both that he was extremely mysterious and deeply moved her heart.

Thus, Zi Yan's gaze toward Gu He was now filled with respect.

Seeing Zi Yan's obedient appearance, Gu He affectionately rubbed her little head and said slowly, "Zi Yan, didn't your teacher tell you before? As long as a disciple under me makes a breakthrough in cultivation, your teacher will give another reward."

"There are more rewards!" Hearing Gu He's words, anticipation once again appeared on Zi Yan's face, but after thinking it over, she became somewhat dejected again.

"I'm currently at the peak of the fifth tier. Wouldn't a breakthrough in strength mean reaching the sixth tier?"

"Wuwu... How long will that take?"

Suddenly, Zi Yan grabbed Gu He's trouser leg and let out a burst of childish sobs.
