As Liu Ling absorbed the information in his mind, he gradually understood that it was a martial technique. "Purple Sun Technique!" An Earth-ranked intermediate-level technique!

Upon learning the profundity and level of this technique, Liu Ling was greatly astonished. It's actually an Earth-ranked intermediate-level technique! Teacher has actually bestowed upon me an Earth-ranked intermediate-level technique!

At this moment, Liu Ling almost wanted to stand up and dance for joy. "Focus and calm the mind!" Just as he was feeling excited, a dissatisfied voice echoed in the room.

Liu Ling quickly suppressed his surging thoughts and focused on absorbing the memories in his mind. After a moment, the infusion of the Purple Sun Technique was complete, and Gu He slowly withdrew his palm.

Then, the system's notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding, detected that the host has been granted the Earth-ranked intermediate-level technique 'Purple Sun Technique' by senior disciple Liu Ling. Congratulations to the host for triggering a ten-thousandfold return and obtaining the Heaven-ranked advanced-level technique 'Divine Flame Technique'!]

[Divine Flame Technique has been added to the system space. Please check your inventory.]

Divine Flame Technique? An advanced-level technique of the Heaven rank? Gu He was overjoyed by the news and couldn't believe his luck. He had granted him an Earth-ranked technique and triggered a ten-thousandfold return, granting him a Heaven-ranked advanced-level technique!

This was a tremendous opportunity for his cultivation journey. Upon hearing the system's notification, Gu He felt a slight tremor of surprise.

He looked at Liu Ling, who was still engrossed in assimilating the Purple Sun Technique, and his consciousness immediately entered the system space. Upon entering the space, Gu He saw two crystal orbs suspended in the void—one colorless and the other crimson.

The colorless orb naturally represented the previous return of Liu Ling's thirteen years of cultivation.

[Ding, does the host wish to claim the thirteen years of cultivation?]

The voice of the system resonated in Gu He's mind as he touched the colorless orb with his consciousness. "No," Gu He quickly shook his head. Liu Ling was still outside. Then, Gu He's gaze shifted to the purplish orb beside it.

[Ding, does the host wish to retrieve the Divine Flame Technique?] As the voice sounded, Gu He had already prepared his response:

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

“Retrieve the Divine Flame Technique!" In the next moment, Gu He's consciousness returned to his physical body, and a vast amount of information flooded into his mind.

Gu He's formidable soul power enveloped the information, directly absorbing it. After a while, Gu He had completely assimilated the information from the Divine Flame Technique.

The Divine Flame Technique—a technique centered around harnessing a specific divine flame as one's essence fire—absorbing and enhancing oneself through consuming various flames.

In Gu He's view, the Divine Flame Technique shared similarities with the Flame Mantra but possessed significant differences. He

believed that the Divine Flame Technique was a powerful technique for absorbing and assimilating flames.

The primary focus of cultivating the Divine Flame Technique was to gather one's own essence fire within the body. The essence fire, under the host's complete control, was closely tied to the cultivator's level.

By consuming other flames, the essence fire could enhance its own fire origin. As long as the essence fire's fire origin was enhanced, the host of the essence fire would experience substantial feedback.

Recalling the intricacies of the Divine Flame Technique, a smile appeared on Gu He's face. This Divine Flame Technique was indeed well-suited for him.

As the bearer of the Ten Thousandfold cultivation system, he could create Heavenly flames as long as there were beast fires. With exotic fires, he might even produce flames of higher grades than Heavenly flames.

If he utilized his essence fire to consume these higher-grade flames, his strength would surely skyrocket. Moreover, the Divine Flame Technique also contained a section—Flame Tempering Technique.

This was a technique specialized in tempering the physical body and soul using the essence fire. Liu Ling, who had been hesitating, became instantly energized upon hearing Gu He's words. Excited and confident, he exclaimed,

"Master, rest assured, within a month, I will definitely break through to the Dou Master realm." Thinking that achieving the sensation of rapid advancement in cultivation like before required breaking through to the Dou Master realm within a month, Liu Ling's heart was filled with determination.

"Alright, by the way, starting from tomorrow, come here every afternoon. I will give you special training," Gu He suddenly thought of something and addressed Liu Ling.

"Special training?" "Master, what kind of special training?" Liu Ling asked with curiosity. A hint of mischievousness curved the corners of Gu He's mouth, his gaze fixed on Liu Ling.

He said, "You'll find out when the time comes. As long as you complete my special training, the next transfer of knowledge won't be as painful."

"Really?"

Liu Ling's curiosity was piqued.

If that was the case, would he be able to endure the transfer of Dou Qi for a bit longer next time? With these thoughts in mind, Liu Ling strangely anticipated the special training tomorrow.

"Alright, for now, return and stabilize your cultivation," Gu He waved his hand, signaling Liu Ling to leave. He thought of the thirteen years of cultivation within the system space, and his eagerness to absorb it was hard to contain.

"Then... Master, I'll take my leave," upon hearing this, Liu Ling didn't linger any longer. He respectfully bowed to Gu He and then left the room directly.

After Liu Ling left, Gu He was about to get up to absorb the thirteen years of cultivation when he noticed his second disciple, Xiao Yi Xian arriving.
