BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 2: Seven Apertures exquisite pill Heart, Divine Skill Void projection

After a brief indulgence in self-admiration, Gu He reluctantly retracted his gaze. Following that, Gu He shifted his focus back to the interior of the system space.

"System, extract the Seven Apertures exquisite pill heart!"

Subsequently, Gu He felt an immensely potent force surging into his body. This force was overwhelmingly dominant, obliterating all in its path.

In the next instant, Gu He sensed numerous minuscule needles weaving through his blood vessels, converging towards his heart. "Ah…"

An involuntary cry escaped Gu He's lips as the intense agony nearly caused him to lose consciousness.

However, at that very moment, a mysterious power began to manifest within him. Innumerable runes emerged within Gu He's body, intertwining and eventually coalescing into a heart.

This heart bore seven apertures, each beat revealing enigmatic patterns. Amidst the rhythmic pulsations, resonated the echoes of alchemical cauldrons colliding.

In that moment, a revelation dawned upon Gu He. After a brief passage of time, the peculiar sensation within his body gradually dissipated. The extraction of the Seven Apertures exquisite Heart was completed!

Gu He shut his eyes, gradually comprehending the wondrous applications of the Seven Apertures exquisite pill Heart. Possessing this heart meant Gu He would no longer encounter limitations in his path of alchemy.

His innate talent for alchemy was already remarkable, and now with this heart, his potential was even more formidable. It could be said that as long as Gu He did not meet an untimely end, he was destined to become a future generation's Alchemy Emperor!

Feeling the immense effects of the Seven Apertures Luminous Heart, excitement flickered in Gu He's eyes. With this heart, his journey towards becoming a powerful cultivator was almost guaranteed.

After a brief surge of excitement, Gu He gradually regained his composure and directed his gaze back to the system space.

"System, extract the Divine Technique – Void Projection!"

As a cryptic influx of information filled his mind, Gu He entered a state of enlightenment. After a while, Gu He slowly opened his eyes, a smile playing upon his lips.

Evidently, he had already grasped the intricacies of the Void Projection technique. Void Projection involved condensing void jade symbols using his essence blood. Once the jade symbol was shattered, Gu He could project himself anywhere, much like his physical presence.

What was most astonishing was that the projected form possessed the same strength as Gu He himself. The only drawback was that the projection could be sustained for only half an hour.

After mastering this Void Projection technique, Gu He had already foreseen its applications. In the future, when his disciples embarked on adventures, Gu He could bestow a void jade symbol upon them for safekeeping.

If they encountered danger, Gu He could instantly project himself there by shattering the jade symbol, aiding his disciples in overcoming crises. A remarkable technique!

Gu He couldn't help but admire it. With this technique, he no longer needed to worry about his disciples facing peril.

Finally, Gu He turned his attention to the last item within the system space.

"Nine-star Dou Saint level experience card."

As the name implied, upon using this card, Gu He could instantly attain the power of a Dou Saint! Furthermore, it was that of a Nine-Star Dou Saint!

Naturally, this Dou Saint Experience Card was consumable – once used, it would vanish. Moreover, after using the Dou Saint Experience Card, the Nine-Star Dou Saint cultivation could only be sustained for half an hour.

Hence, for this card, Gu He must exercise utmost caution. In an era where Dou Di-level experts rarely appeared, a Nine-Star Dou Saint represented a pinnacle powerhouse.

A contemplative look appeared in Gu He's eyes. He wouldn't use the Dou Saint Experience Card unless it was a matter of life and death in the future. This card for experiencing Dou Saint cultivation would serve as his ultimate trump card.

"System, open the attribute panel," Gu He said calmly.

As his words faded, an energy screen materialized in front of him, visible only to him.

Examining the attribute panel before him, Gu He entered a state of contemplation. Gu He's talent in alchemy was undoubtedly astonishing.

Even in the Northwestern region of the Jia Ma Empire, he had achieved the rank of a Sixth-Rank Alchemist at the age of thirty. Such innate talent was almost comparable to that of Yao Chen.

It's worth noting that Yao Chen hailed from the ancient Yao Clan among the Eight Great Families. This clan was dedicated to alchemy, with the entire lineage consisting of alchemists.

Yao Chen's heritage as part of the Yao Clan provided the optimal foundation for an alchemist. Moreover, traces of Dou Di bloodline coursed through Yao Chen's veins.

While his remarkable talent was a factor, the augmentation from his Dou Di lineage was undeniable in his rise to becoming the number one alchemist in this world.

Compared to Gu He, Yao Chen possessed a multitude of inherent advantages. Turning his attention to his current cultivation level, Gu He pondered.

Three-Star Dou King!

Compared to his exceptional prowess in alchemy, Gu He's cultivation talent was somewhat inferior. Although reaching the Three-Star Dou King level by thirty was already a considerable feat,

Gu He's progress could be attributed to his identity as a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. As a Sixth-Rank Alchemist, he could sustain himself independently.

In times of bottlenecks, he could simply consume pills to break through. Yet, even so, Gu He remained at the Three-Star Dou King level, and this was with the assistance of an intermediate Earth-Rank technique.

Of course, his fervent dedication to alchemy often overshadowed his commitment to cultivation.

After thoroughly reviewing his attribute panel, a smile tugged at Gu He's lips.

A Three-Star Dou King!

A Sixth-Rank Alchemist!

Although not invincible, this starting point was incomparably superior to the countless mediocre beginnings. Gu He felt content with this foundation.

The system's aid was now at his disposal. The forthcoming challenges would hinge on his own endeavors.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just as Gu He's aspirations soared, an unexpected knocking abruptly resounded from outside his door.

"Who's there?" Interrupted in his train of thought, Gu He's brows furrowed slightly with a hint of displeasure.

"Master, it's disciple Liu Ling requesting an audience!" A slightly unsure voice emerged from beyond the door, marked by a tone of deep respect.

Liu Ling? Upon hearing the name, a flicker of recognition sparked in Gu He

's mind. Indeed, in the original work, Gu He had a disciple named Liu Ling.

Although Liu Ling's performance during the alchemy competition in the Gamma Empire fell short of the protagonist, Xiao Yan, he was still hailed as an alchemical prodigy.

"Enter." Gu He's voice held a touch of detachment. Coincidentally, he was curious to test the effectiveness of the Transmission divine technique.

Today, he would employ Liu Ling as a test subject! However, Gu He had some concerns in his heart – the system required a disciple to achieve an evaluation score of eight points to trigger the refund mechanism.

He wondered whether Liu Ling's talent could meet the system's requirements. As Gu He's words fell, the door was slowly pushed open, and a young man entered.

The young man was dressed in an alchemist's robe, appearing quite youthful and with a tall stature. He seemed to be in his early twenties, his handsome face carved with sharp lines.

This young man was none other than Gu He's personal disciple, Liu Ling. "Disciple pays respects to Master," Liu Ling bowed respectfully as he entered the room, his attitude exceedingly deferential.

"Ling'er, no need for excessive courtesy," a gentle smile appeared on Gu He's face. Hearing this, Liu Ling raised his head slowly. Yet, as he looked at Gu He's face, his expression froze in shock.

"Master, you…" Beneath the air of a transcendent immortal, Gu He now exuded an ethereal and elegant demeanor with every move.

As a result, even Liu Ling, who was accustomed to being around Gu He, clearly detected the difference. He stared at Gu He, clearly taken aback.

How could Master appear so… Exquisitely handsome?

Observing the figure before him, Liu Ling, who often prided himself on his own good looks, couldn't help but feel a bit ashamed of himself.

Noticing Liu Ling's surprised expression, Gu He naturally understood the reason. However, he didn't provide any explanation and acted as though he hadn't noticed.

The transcendent immortal aura mainly altered his temperament; his appearance had only undergone slight adjustments and hadn't changed significantly.

Hence, Gu He didn't need to worry about Liu Ling suspecting his true identity. "Ling'er, is there something you need from me?" After a moment of thought, Gu He smiled and changed the subject.

Hearing this, Liu Ling immediately regained his senses. He glanced at Gu He and respectfully said, "Reporting to Master, I have successfully broken through to the Second-Rank Alchemist realm."

At this point, a faint smile curved on Liu Ling's lips, a trace of self-satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

At just fifteen years old, he had reached the realm of a Second-Rank Alchemist. This achievement was nearly unmatched within the entire Jia Ma Empire, second only to his Master, Gu He.

"Not bad at all," Gu He praised with a word. "System, check Liu Ling's attributes," Gu He secretly communicated with the system. He wanted to see whether Liu Ling's attributes met the system's requirement of an eight-point evaluation.

As Gu He's words ended, a light screen appeared in front of him, visible only to him.
