As he absorbed the information flooding his mind, Liu Ling gradually realized that it was a cultivation technique.
"Ziyang Art (Purple Sun Art)!"
An Earth-level intermediate Technique!
Upon understanding the mystery and level of this technique, Liu Ling was utterly shocked.
It was actually an Earth-level intermediate Technique!
His teacher had actually passed down an Earth-level intermediate technique in its entirety!
At this moment, Liu Ling was so overwhelmed with joy that he almost wanted to leap up and dance.
"Calm down!"
At that moment, Gu He's stern voice echoed in the room.
Liu Ling quickly composed himself, suppressing his excitement, and focused on absorbing the memories in his mind.
After a while, the empowerment of the Purple Sun Art was complete, and Gu He slowly withdrew his palm.
Then, a system notification sounded in his mind.
[Ding! It has been detected that the host has granted the eldest disciple, Liu Ling, the Purple Sun Art, an Earth-level intermediate technique.]
[Congratulations to the host for triggering a 10,000 fold refund, and obtaining the Heaven-level advanced technique, the Divine Flame Art!]
[The Divine Flame Art has been deposited into the system space. Please check it at your convenience, host.]
'Divine Flame Art?'
'A Heaven-level advanced technique? '
Hearing the system's notification, Gu He was slightly taken aback.
He glanced at Liu Ling, who was still immersed in refining the Purple Sun Art, and immediately shifted his consciousness into the system space.
Upon entering the system space, Gu He saw two crystalline orbs floating in the space—one colorless and the other crimson.
The colorless orb was naturally the 13-year cultivation base refunded earlier.
[Ding! Would the host like to extract the 13-year cultivation base?]
As Gu He's consciousness touched the colorless orb, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
"No," Gu He hastily declined. Liu Ling was still outside, and now was not the time.
He then turned his attention to the crimson orb beside it.
[Ding! Would the host like to extract the Divine Flame Art?]
The moment the voice sounded, Gu He responded without hesitation, "Extract the Divine Flame Art!"
In the next instant, Gu He's consciousness returned to his body, and a flood of information surged into his mind.
Gu He's powerful soul power enveloped the information, swiftly absorbing it.
After a short while, Gu He had fully assimilated the knowledge of the Divine Flame Art.
The Divine Flame Art used a specific flame as the life-bound divine Flame, devouring all other flames to strengthen itself.
From Gu He's perspective, the Divine Flame Art bore some resemblance to the Xiao Yan's Flame Mantra, but there were significant differences.
In fact, Gu He believed that the Divine Flame Art was an even more domineering technique, capable of devouring and plundering flames.
To cultivate the Divine Flame Art, the most crucial step was to condense one's own life-bound divine Flame within the body.
This life-bound Flame was entirely under the user's control and was deeply connected to their cultivation.
By devouring other flames, the life-bound Flame could enhance its own flame origin.
As the flame origin grew stronger, the user would also receive substantial feedback.
Recalling the intricacies of the Divine Flame Art, Gu He's face broke into a satisfied smile.
'This Divine Flame Art truly suits me.'
With his apprentice return system, as long as he obtained a beast flame, he could create a unique or even a heavenly flame.
If he had a unique flame, he could even create a flame of a higher level than the unique flame.
If he used his life-bound divine Flame to devour all these high-level flames, wouldn't his strength increase exponentially?
Moreover, the Divine Flame Art also contained a chapter on Divine Flame Tempering.
This was a method to temper both the body and soul using the life-bound divine Flame.
Gu He was overjoyed.
'Isn't this exactly what I need?'
If my physical strength increases, the pain of fusion and cultivation in the future will be much more bearable.
Not long after, Gu He finally regained his composure and glanced at Liu Ling, who was still engrossed in absorbing the Purple Sun Art.
He waited quietly for a while until Liu Ling slowly opened his eyes.
Thinking of the Purple Sun Art now embedded in his mind, Liu Ling's eyes sparkled with excitement.
He quickly approached Gu He and said with deep gratitude, "Thank you, Teacher.
His tone was filled with sincerity.
Having been born into a cultivation family, Liu Ling understood the immense value of an Earth-level technique.
Even if his family were to go bankrupt, they would never be able to procure an Earth-level technique.
Yet, his teacher had given it to him so effortlessly.
This filled Liu Ling with both excitement and a sense of unreality.
"You are my disciple. If I don't pass these things on to you, who else would I pass them on to?"
Seeing Liu Ling's genuine gratitude, Gu He's expression softened, and he said gently, "Don't overthink it. Your hard work is the best reward for me as your teacher."
"Yes, I will definitely train hard and never slack off!" Liu Ling replied firmly.
His teacher had even given him an Earth-level technique. How could he not work hard?
"That's good to hear."
Gu He nodded, then suddenly added, "Ling'er, I want you to break through to the Dou Master within a month. Can you do it?"
"A month?" Liu Ling was taken aback and replied with a hint of uncertainty, "Teacher, isn't a month a bit too short?"
"No, I believe the time I've given you is sufficient."
Gu He shook his head, then with a serious expression, he encouraged him, "If you can break through to the Dou Master within a month, I will grant you three additional rewards, including empowerment."
"Really, Teacher? Are you serious?"
Hearing this, Liu Ling's hesitation vanished, replaced by excitement and determination. "Teacher, don't worry. Within a month, I will definitely break through to the Dou Master!"
The thought of experiencing the thrill of rapidly increasing his cultivation level again filled Liu Ling with motivation.
"Also, starting tomorrow, I will come here every afternoon to give you special training," Gu He added.
"Special training?"
"Teacher, what kind of special training is it?" Liu Ling was puzzled.
A mischievous smile played on Gu He's lips as he looked at Liu Ling and said, "You'll find out when the time comes. But rest assured, once you complete my special training, the pain of empowerment will be much more bearable next time."
"Really?" Liu Ling's eyes lit up with anticipation.
If that were the case, wouldn't he be able to endure the process longer next time?
The thought made him inexplicably eager for the next day's special training.
"Alright, go back and stabilize your cultivation first," Gu He said, waving his hand to dismiss Liu Ling.
He couldn't wait to absorb the 13 years of cultivation waiting in the system space.
"Then... Teacher, I will take my leave now." Liu Ling bowed slightly to Gu He and promptly left the room.
After Liu Ling departed, Gu He was about to begin refining the 13 years of cultivation when he noticed his second disciple, Little Fairy Doctor, had arrived.
