Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Teacher."
Soon, the soft voice of the Little Fairy Doctor echoed outside the door.
"Come in," Gu He's calm voice responded from within the room.
Hearing this, the Little Fairy Doctor pushed the door open and entered, making her way to Gu He's room with ease.
"Teacher, I have broken through to the Nine-Star Dou Practitioner!" she exclaimed as soon as she stood before Gu He, her voice tinged with excitement.
"Not bad. You've done well, far surpassing your senior brother," Gu He replied, a faint smile playing at the corner of his lips as he gave an honest appraisal.
Indeed, when it came to cultivation speed, few on the Dou Qi Continent could rival the Little Fairy Doctor.
Hearing Gu He's praise, the Little Fairy Doctor's face lit up with joy.
"Keep working hard. Once you break through to the Dou Master, I will reward you with three gifts," Gu He promised, recalling that it had been a month since he last imparted a cultivation technique to her.
"Really?" The Little Fairy Doctor's eyes sparkled with anticipation, her crystal-like gaze filled with determination. "Teacher, don't worry. Within ten days, I will definitely break through to the Dou Master."
"Good," Gu He nodded in satisfaction. He then retrieved several jade bottles from his storage ring.
"These jade bottles contain Jade Bone Powder. After your daily cultivation, pour one bottle into your bathwater for a medicinal soak," Gu He explained as he handed the bottles to her.
"Jade Bone Powder!" The Little Fairy Doctor's eyes widened in delight.
Having inherited the knowledge of a sixth-tier alchemist, she was well aware of the powder's value.
Jade Bone Powder was a fourth-tier medicinal powder.
When used in a medicinal bath, it not only tempered the body but also nourished the skin, making it highly sought after. Noble ladies from prominent families often purchased it to enhance their physiques and maintain their beauty.
"Thank you, Teacher," the Little Fairy Doctor said gratefully as she accepted the jade bottles.
"Since you ingest poison daily, there may be hidden injuries in your body. Remember to take a medicinal bath every day, or else these hidden dangers could cause problems later," Gu He cautioned.
Jade Bone Powder not only helped heal hidden injuries but also strengthened the body.
A robust physique was crucial for empowerment and the absorption of Dou Qi.
To ensure his disciples could endure greater amounts of Dou Qi in the future, Gu He had to find ways to enhance their physical strength.
"Understood, Teacher. Thank you," the Little Fairy Doctor replied, clutching the jade bottles tightly. She was deeply moved by her teacher's thoughtfulness.
'Teacher, you always have my best interests at heart. I won't let you down.'
A surge of determination filled her heart. After a moment, she looked up at Gu He and asked softly, "Teacher, do you still have any poison here?"
Gu He pondered for a moment before retrieving a silver token from his ring and handing it to her.
"Disciple, this is an identity token I applied for on your behalf. From now on, you can visit the main peak every half-month to request a batch of medicinal herbs."
The Little Fairy Doctor took the silver token, her eyes scanning the three characters engraved on it: Misty Cloud Sect.
Above the characters was an emblem of a medicinal cauldron, signifying her status as an alchemist of the Misty Cloud Sect.
As the leading force in the Jia Ma Empire, the Misty Cloud Sect had recruited not only Gu He, a sixth-tier alchemist, but also many other alchemists who had not joined the Alchemist Association.
These alchemists were highly valued by the sect, and every half-month, they were entitled to request a batch of medicinal herbs. The quality of the herbs depended on the alchemist's rank.
Gu He had already explained these details to the Little Fairy Doctor. Holding the token now, she felt a wave of happiness. From this day forward, she could request the herbs she needed from the sect.
"Disciple, while improving your cultivation, don't neglect your alchemy studies," Gu He reminded her.
After all, the privileges granted by the token depended on her alchemist rank. Only by advancing her rank could she request higher-tier herbs.
"Teacher, don't worry. Once I break through to the Dou Master realm, I will definitely advance to a second-tier alchemist," the Little Fairy Doctor declared confidently.
Having inherited the knowledge of a sixth-tier alchemist, she had successfully refined a first-tier pill seven days ago, officially becoming a first-tier alchemist.
"Excellent," Gu He smiled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, he remembered something and added, "Tomorrow, go to the main peak and find your senior sister, Nalan Yaner."
"Nalan Yaner?" The Little Fairy Doctor looked puzzled.
"Yes," Gu He nodded. "I've already instructed her to share her combat experience with you. When you meet her, make sure to learn diligently."
"But, Teacher..." The Little Fairy Doctor hesitated, her face flushing with embarrassment. "I have never learned any combat techniques before.
During this period, she had focused entirely on improving her cultivation and refining pills, leaving no time to practice combat techniques. How could she possibly spar with Senior Sister Nalan without embarrassing herself?
Gu He was momentarily taken aback. He had forgotten about this detail. Then, he smiled and gestured for her to come closer. "It's alright. Come here. I'll teach you a combat technique."
Hearing this, the Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up with anticipation as she stepped closer to Gu He.
Gu He extended a finger and gently tapped her smooth forehead. At the same time, he silently communicated with his system: 'System, impart the Folding Wave Palm to the Little Fairy Doctor.'
In the next moment, a flood of information surged into the Little Fairy Doctor's mind. She quickly closed her eyes, focusing intently to absorb the knowledge.
After a while, she slowly opened her eyes, a look of astonishment flashing across her beautiful face.
"A Low Yellow level technique—Folding Wave Palm!"
Indeed, what Gu He had imparted to her this time was only a low-level Yellow dou technique.
Since it had been less than a month since her last empowerment, imparting a higher-level skill would not trigger the system's reward mechanism. Thus, he had chosen not to pass on the two high-level Black dou techniques he possessed.
Nevertheless, the Little Fairy Doctor was thrilled. Through Gu He's empowerment, the essence of the Folding Wave Palm had been deeply engraved in her mind. With a bit of practice, she would be able to master it.
"Thank you, Teacher," she said gratefully.
"Once you break through to the Dou Master realm, I will impart a high-level Black dou technique to you," Gu He promised with a smile.
"Really?" The Little Fairy Doctor's joy was palpable, and she eagerly looked forward to breaking through as soon as possible.
"Alright, go out and practice. Don't embarrass yourself in front of Nalan Yanran tomorrow," Gu He said with a chuckle.
"Understood, Teacher," the Little Fairy Doctor replied, leaving the room with excitement.
'Now, it's time for me to break through!'
After the Little Fairy Doctor left, Gu He stood up and made his way to the adjacent alchemy room.
