Looking at Liu Ling's attributes, Gu He's expression turned odd. Liu Ling's comprehension and root bone was only 7.5, and luck barely met the standard.
But Gu He didn't expect there would be bonus points after becoming his disciple. However, he understood. He was a transmigrator with a system.
Most importantly, he possessed the Apprentice System. With himself as the master, Liu Ling would surely become a strong individual.
What great fortune; adding one point was reasonable. With this added point, Liu Ling's score reached exactly 8, triggering the system's reward mechanism.
"Master, Master..."
"What's the matter?"
In the room, Liu Ling, seeing Gu He staring at him in silence, grew perplexed. "Um..." A trace of embarrassment flickered on Gu He's face, quickly replaced by calmness. He pondered, "I was just contemplating how to reward you."
"Reward?"
Hearing this, Liu Ling's expression puzzled. "Master, what reward?" "Since you've advanced to a Second Rank Alchemist, I naturally have to reward you," Gu He said, a smile on his face.
"Ah..."
"Rewards for breakthroughs?" Upon hearing this, Liu Ling's eyes revealed a surprise. A reward for reaching Second Rank
Alchemist was unexpected.
"Yes, it's a form of encouragement," Gu He chuckled. "In the future, whether you advance in alchemy or cultivation, I'll grant rewards."
Liu Ling's excitement heightened. "Disciple thanks, Master." "
Ling'er, come here. I'll teach you a secret technique to enhance your soul power," Gu He beckoned Liu Ling. Soul Power Cultivation Secret Technique!
Hearing this, Liu Ling's mind shook. Master was willing to teach him a soul power cultivation secret technique? For an alchemist, soul power intensity was crucial.
Though Liu Ling had reached Second Rank Alchemist, to reach the Third Rank, his soul power must meet the standard. Soul power intensity increased with cultivation advancement, but there was also the method of practising soul power secret techniques.
For Liu Ling, as an alchemist, he focused less on cultivating energy. He leaned towards soul power secrets. However, these secrets were precious and not easily obtained.
Liu Ling had long wished for a soul power cultivation technique. Now that he heard Gu He was willing to teach him, joy overwhelmed him. He approached Gu He immediately.
"Ling'er, sit down," Gu He instructed, seeing Liu Ling's excitement. The Mystic Soul Technique, a Seventh Rank soul power cultivation method, was a treasure Gu He obtained from an ancient ruin in his youth.
Despite receiving returns for anything given to disciples, Gu He chose what was most valuable. Liu Ling, though puzzled, trusted Gu He completely and complied.
Gu He laid his palm on Liu Ling's head, and seriously said, "Close your eyes, focus your mind." Liu Ling followed suit. Gu He employed the Transmission Technique and transmitted the Mystic Soul Technique and its insights to Liu Ling.
Meanwhile, Liu Ling, while puzzled by Gu He's behaviour, sensed a mysterious flow of information in his mind. With no time to think, he focused as instructed, absorbing the enigmatic knowledge.
Moments later, Gu He had completely transmitted the contents of the Mystic Soul Technique to Liu Ling. Liu Ling's eyes remained shut, his mind absorbing and merging the newfound information.

Mystic Soul Technique! Seventh Rank Soul Power Cultivation Secret Technique? Ultimately, Liu Ling learned the name and grade of the soul power cultivation method Gu He imparted to him.
Meanwhile, a notification from the system echoed in Gu He's mind."Ding, detected that the host has granted disciple Liu Ling the Seventh Rank technique, Mystic Soul Technique. Congratulations to the host for triggering a ten-thousand-fold return, obtaining the Emperor Grade Devouring Soul Technique!"
"The Emperor Grade Devouring Soul Technique has been deposited in the system space.
Host, please check."
With the sound of the system in his mind, Gu He was stunned. As he realized, a surge of jubilation spread across his face. Emperor Grade! He hadn't misheard!
Imparting a Seventh Rank Mystic Soul Technique resulted in obtaining an Emperor Grade technique, the Devouring Soul Technique! With a thought, Gu He entered the system space.
There, a black scroll floated in the void, emitting an eerie light."Does the host accept the inheritance of the Devouring Soul Technique?" A system prompt resonated as Gu He's consciousness touched the black scroll.
However, he remembered that Liu Ling was present and decided to exit the system space.He shifted his gaze to Liu Ling, who was still absorbing the knowledge.
Liu Ling, having learned the Seventh Rank Mystic Soul Technique, opened his eyes, excitement gleaming. With his eyes wide, Liu Ling saw Gu He's smiling face. "Disciple thanks Master for this divine technique!" With utmost sincerity, Liu Ling knelt before Gu He.
Liu Ling's reaction was expected. The Mystic Soul Technique was incredibly impressive. It was a Seventh Rank soul power cultivation technique, a path to becoming a Seventh Rank Alchemist.
The magnitude of this technique, even some Sixth Rank Alchemists might not possess. Liu Ling, a mere Second Rank Alchemist, had acquired a Seventh Rank technique! It was truly astounding.
"A technique alone is not enough. As my direct disciple, you'll eventually receive it," Gu He reassured. "I'm just offering it to you a bit earlier."
Gu He understood Liu Ling's feelings perfectly. The Emperor Grade technique was immensely exciting. "Master's generosity is beyond words. I am profoundly grateful," Liu Ling expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
"Enough about that. My rewards for you aren't over yet," Gu He said, gently patting Liu Ling's head.
Not over?
Was there more to come from Master? Liu Ling's expression turned slightly stunned. Was his master being exceptionally generous today?
"Don't speculate," Gu He advised, patting Liu Ling's head. "Yes, Master," Liu Ling complied, closing his eyes. Gu He extended his right palm, pressing it against Liu Ling's back.
Feeling powerful energy entering his body, Liu Ling was taken aback. What was his master doing? "Focus your mind and absorb this energy," Gu He's voice suddenly sounded.
Without time to question, Liu Ling obeyed, wholeheartedly absorbing the energy. Moments later, a muffled sound echoed within Liu Ling's body. His aura shifted.
He had broken through. His cultivation jumped from a Two star Dou Practitioner to a Three Star Dou Practitioner. But it wasn't over. The energy within him continued to surge.
After another moment, Liu Ling's aura changed once more.
Four-star Dou practitioner !
Sweat adorned Liu Ling's handsome face, and he appeared somewhat pale. Clearly, the process of receiving the power wasn't easy.
Boom!
After a moment, Liu Ling broke through to become a Five-star Dou Practitioner. "Master, I can't endure it anymore..." Liu Ling's voice was tinged with agony.
He had reached his limit. Hearing this, Gu He felt a twinge of disappointment but understood the need for caution. Over-transferring power could cause substantial harm to Liu Ling's body.
With this in mind, Gu He halted the transfer and received a system notification.
"Ding, detected that the host has granted senior disciple Liu Ling seven days' worth of cultivation. Congratulations to the host for triggering a thousand-fold return, obtaining nineteen years of cultivation!"
(Note: These nineteen years correspond to the level of a Third Star Dou King.)
"Nineteen years of cultivation have been deposited in the system space. Host, please check."
A thousand-fold return! Nineteen years of cultivation! Hearing the system's announcement, Gu He was taken aback. Trading seven days' cultivation for nineteen years was an incredibly favourable deal.
Without hesitation, Gu He delved into the system space. There, a purple sphere hovered in the void.
"Does the host accept the nineteen years of cultivation?"
The system's voice echoed as Gu He's consciousness touched the sphere. Due to Liu Ling's presence, Gu He chose not to accept it temporarily. When he withdrew from the system space, he found Liu Ling kneeling before him again.
"Ling'er, why are you kneeling again?" Gu He helped Liu Ling up, somewhat bemused. "Master's kindness is as immense as a mountain. You've granted me a Seventh Rankcultivation technique and even bestowed cultivation upon me. I feel ashamed and indebted to you," Liu Ling expressed his gratitude.
"If Master treats me like this, I vow to repay your kindness a thousandfold and ten thousandfold when I achieve success," Liu Ling vowed in his heart.
"Ling'er, you're my only disciple. Naturally, I'll pass on the good things to you," Gu He replied, appreciating Liu Ling's sincerity.
"As long as you diligently cultivate, make a name for yourself outside, and uphold my reputation, that'll be repaying me," Gu He patted Liu Ling's shoulder, speaking earnestly.
"Disciple swears to double the effort in cultivation and never disappoint Master's high expectations." Liu Ling's eyes gleamed with determination as he made this promise.
"Good!" "You truly are a remarkable disciple." Gu He's eyes showed admiration, and he decided to offer all the rewards at once. "I still have a reward for you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ling appeared astounded. "Another reward?" Another Seventh Rank technique? Another transfer Receiving these, Liu Ling felt like he was in a dream.
And Gu He was saying there was more to come? Master, your generosity is bordering on extravagant... Gu He smiled faintly, his thoughts directed to his next action. A wisp of purple flame appeared in his palm.
As the purple flame materialized, it took the form of an eagle, emitting an eagle's cry. Around it, peculiar ripples akin to water waves started to ripple, creating a mystical aura. "Ling'er, there's one last reward from me. It's this Purple Eagle Flame."
