BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

As the legacy light sphere entered Gu He's mind, a massive influx of information exploded. Before Gu He could react, his mind was flooded with an overwhelming torrent of information.

"Ah..."

Caught off guard, Gu He couldn't help but let out a miserable cry. Countless profound pieces of information surged frantically within his mind. Gu He felt as if his soul had been thrown into a meat grinder, mercilessly torn apart.

At this moment, he vividly experienced the pain Xiao Yi Xian had endured earlier. No, compared to Xiao Yi Xian, the agony he was currently facing was even more intense.

After all, this was the legacy of a ninth-rank alchemist. Forcing himself to endure the sensation of his soul tearing apart, Gu He steadied his mental state and concentrated fully on absorbing this immense wave of information.

As the information within the legacy light sphere flooded into Gu He's mind, the deep pain in his soul grew stronger.

Gu He's complexion had turned extremely pale, and his once handsome and refined face now looked incredibly distorted. He felt as if his consciousness was on the verge of sinking, gradually becoming blurry.

Just as Gu He was about to slip into unconsciousness, something happened within his chest... More accurately, within his heart area, a burst of rainbow-colored light suddenly radiated.

If Gu He's consciousness had been clear at this moment, he would have seen it inside his body. A heart emitting enigmatic runes, enveloped in a rainbow-colored glow.

The rainbow glow gradually shrouded Gu He's entire body. From the outside, his figure became obscured, leaving only a ball of light sitting on the bed.

As the rainbow light surged into the depths of his soul, Gu He immediately felt a cool sensation flowing through his soul, gradually restoring his clarity of mind.

Sensing the changes in his body, surprise flashed in Gu He's eyes. Then, his consciousness delved into his body, and he discovered the heart that was emitting the rainbow-colored light.

This is... the effect of the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill Heart? Gu He instantly understood everything.

He hadn't expected the Seven Aperture Exquisite Pill Heart to have such an effect. Gu He's heart rejoiced, quickly focusing his mind to receive the immense information in his thoughts.

With the aid of the Seven Orifice Exquisite Heart Pill, Gu He felt no pain as he smoothly absorbed the entire inheritance light sphere's information. As the room shimmered with multicolored light, time passed by.

The sky gradually darkened, soon reaching evening. At this moment, the multicolored radiance on Gu He's body finally faded away.
Simultaneously, Gu He on the bed slowly opened his eyes, a gleam of utmost excitement in his gaze.

"I did it!"

"I succeeded!"

Gu He got up instantly, his handsome face lit with uncontrollable excitement. He had completely accepted the information into his mind. Upon closing his eyes, the extensive knowledge from the Ninth-Rank Alchemist's inheritance rapidly flashed through his mind.

As if these details were deeply etched in his mind, never to be forgotten. Now, his mind held the alchemical insights of a Ninth-Rank Alchemist's lifetime.

Eyes gleaming with excitement, Gu He was eager to bring out the cauldron and start concocting medicine. Yet, his remaining composure made him pause.

Alchemy required a calm and composed mind, and his current state was far from suitable. Coming to the table, Gu He poured himself a cup of fragrant tea. As the steaming liquid entered his stomach, he gradually calmed down.

During his newfound calm, Gu He also noticed some changes in himself. Firstly, after receiving the vast information from the Ninth-Rank Alchemist's inheritance light sphere, it seemed that his spiritual power had greatly increased.

Regarding this outcome, Gu He blinked slightly, then displayed a bitter smile. It really wasn't in vain, the immense pain he had just endured. Indeed, it confirmed that old saying – there's no gain without pain.

Gu He carefully sensed within and was astonished to discover that his current spiritual power had met the requirements for the strength of a Seventh-Rank Alchemist's soul.

To become a Seventh-Rank Alchemist, apart from achieving the standard in alchemy, there was also a need for matching spiritual power intensity. And in both aspects, for Gu He, who had now inherited the Ninth-Rank Alchemist's legacy, both had been achieved.

In other words, Gu He now possessed the potential to strive for Dou Emperor. With the numerous refined alchemical secrets inherited within his mind, Gu He had tremendous confidence in reaching the level of a Dou Emperor.

Furthermore, Gu He realized that his cultivation bottleneck seemed to have loosened. At this rate, even without external assistance, he would likely break through to the Dou Emperor realm in no time.

Unexpectedly, this time he had reaped so many additional benefits. Upon concluding his reflections, a satisfied smile adorned Gu He's face.
Lifting the teacup, he gently took a sip, feeling somewhat eager for tomorrow's arrival.
...

The next day, the sun was already high, and Gu He was still sleeping soundly. Perhaps it was the integration of that immense information yesterday that left Gu He feeling somewhat fatigued. This was quite unusual for him, who was accustomed to waking up early.

"Teacher..."

"Teacher..."

It was Xiao Yi Xian's gentle and sweet voice from outside that finally stirred Gu He from his slumber. Glancing at the sky outside, Gu He finally realized that he had overslept.

Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's voice from outside, Gu He couldn't help but wryly smile, "Seems like there are some aftereffects from yesterday." However, the feeling of sleeping in was quite nice.

"Teacher! Teacher!"

Seeing no response from inside, Xiao Yi Xian called out a few more times. "Coming." Gu He shouted and then efficiently got dressed, walking over to open the door.

"Teacher, are you still not awake?"

Xiao Yi Xian poked her head into the room, glanced around, and her face was filled with doubt. Hearing this, Gu He looked embarrassed. In this new world, the only time he had ever slept in, and his disciple caught him red-handed.

"Cough cough, well..." Just as Gu He was about to come up with an explanation, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly seemed to realize something.

Her expression changed, and she blamed herself, "Teacher, it's not because of yesterday, that you got tired, right?"

"It's not your fault..." Gu He began, but Xiao Yi Xian was already blaming herself further. "Uh..."

Gu He was slightly taken aback by her words, thinking she was quite imaginative. "It's nothing."

Gu He gently patted Xiao Yi Xian's head, comforting her, "Good disciple, it's just that your teacher was being lazy. It has nothing to do with you."

"Really?" Upon hearing Gu He's words, Xiao Yi Xian stopped blaming herself and blinked her eyes, looking at Gu He with skepticism.

"Can your teacher even lie to you? Today, your teacher will give you a second gift." Gu He smiled warmly and beckoned to Xiao Yi Xian, "Come here and sit down."

"Oh." Xiao Yi Xian nodded her little head obediently, coming over to Gu He and sitting down.
