Chapter 520: Liu Ling's Growth! Twenty-Two Years of Cultivation!

After finishing his earlier statement, Gu He initially intended to take out another set of ingredients for refining the Shapeshifting Pill from his system space for Liu Ling. However, upon remembering that Liu Ling had not received any cultivation transmission for over a year and a half, he hesitated and stopped.

Moreover, Gu He suddenly realized that he actually had a Shapeshifting Pill in his possession. Judging from Liu Ling's determination regarding the pill, Gu He guessed that Liu Ling simply wanted to obtain the Shapeshifting Pill, rather than attempting to refine it himself and challenge the difficulty of a high-tier seventh-grade pill.

Thinking this, Gu He's mind stirred, and a jade bottle containing the Shapeshifting Pill appeared in his hand. He handed it to Liu Ling, who was still pondering his earlier words.

Gu He passed the jade bottle over and said directly, "Liu Ling, I happened to acquire a Shapeshifting Pill during my time in the Central Plains. I’ll give it to you now. I hope you can study this finished pill carefully!"

Hearing the words "Shapeshifting Pill," Liu Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly raised his head.

"Thank you, Master!"

Liu Ling took the jade bottle and swiftly opened the stopper, peering inside.

"I never expected Master to already have a Shapeshifting Pill!" Looking at the pill lying inside the bottle, Liu Ling felt a surge of excitement.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Gu He's mind.

"Ding! Detected that the host has gifted the Shapeshifting Pill, a seventh-grade pill, to the first disciple, Liu Ling. Congratulations, host, for receiving a ten-thousandfold return: 10,000 seventh-grade Shapeshifting Pills!"

"10,000 seventh-grade pills have been deposited into the system space. Please check and collect them, host!"

Hearing this system notification, Gu He felt little emotion.

At this point, for Gu He, seventh-grade and eighth-grade pills were nothing more than numbers. They held little significance for him, but for his disciples, these items were priceless treasures.

"Liu Ling, Qing Lin, it's been almost a year and a half since I last went out. Both of your cultivation progress has been excellent!" After giving the Shapeshifting Pill, Gu He continued, "This time, I will transmit cultivation to you once more. Liu Ling, you go first!"

Hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling's expression instantly turned serious. He quickly stored the Shapeshifting Pill he had just received and sat down cross-legged on the floor in front of Gu He.

Seeing this, Qing Lin instinctively stepped back to give them space.

With a wave of his hand, Gu He created a sealed space about two zhang in size, enveloping himself and Liu Ling.

Gu He chose to seal the space for two reasons: first, to prevent any potential destruction or anomalies caused by Liu Ling's breakthrough from affecting the outside world or attracting the attention of others in Yunlan Sect; and second, to ensure that during the cultivation transmission, Liu Ling's breakthrough would rely entirely on the energy transmitted by Gu He, without absorbing energy from the surrounding environment. This way, the effect of the transmission would be maximized.

Once everything was prepared, Gu He placed his hand on Liu Ling's head.

Feeling Gu He's hand on him, Liu Ling immediately began circulating the Heaven-tier advanced cultivation technique, the Divine Flame Art. The Green Lotus Core Flame also began continuously tempering his body and soul.

"System, transmit cultivation to my first disciple, Liu Ling!"

With a low shout in his mind, Gu He's hand on Liu Ling began to rapidly transfer a surge of intense energy into Liu Ling's body.

As this torrent of energy flooded into his body, Liu Ling calmly circulated the Divine Flame Art, directing the energy throughout his body before channeling it back to his dantian.

"Crack!"

In less than two minutes, a muffled sound emanated from Liu Ling's body as his cultivation broke through from Seven-Star Dou Emperor to Eight-Star Dou Emperor.

After reaching Eight-Star Dou Emperor, the speed of Liu Ling's rising aura showed no signs of slowing down, rapidly advancing toward the peak of Eight-Star Dou Emperor.

Soon, his aura reached the peak of Eight-Star Dou Emperor.

"Snap!"

This time, Liu Ling did not linger at the peak of Eight-Star Dou Emperor. Instead, he broke through directly to become a Nine-Star Dou Emperor powerhouse.

After breaking through to this level, Liu Ling showed almost no signs of strain. In fact, the speed at which he circulated his cultivation technique only increased.

Ten minutes later, the remaining trace amounts of energy within the two-zhang sealed space suddenly began to boil violently.

"Is he about to break through from Dou Emperor to Dou Ancestor so quickly?" Feeling his own cultivation level, Liu Ling became extremely excited.

His entire breakthrough to Dou Ancestor was incredibly fast, just like Zi Yan's breakthrough last time. The moment the heavens and earth began to show signs of anomaly, they instantly dissipated.

"Haha, he's already reached Dou Ancestor, and this kid is still fine! It seems he can absorb a lot more cultivation this time."

Seeing Liu Ling's condition after breaking through to Dou Ancestor, Gu He chuckled inwardly and immediately increased the intensity of the cultivation transmission.

As Gu He increased the transmission, Liu Ling also became more focused.

Even after reaching Dou Ancestor, the speed at which his aura rose remained incredibly fast. In a short time, he reached the peak of One-Star Dou Ancestor.

Two-Star Dou Ancestor!

Peak of Two-Star Dou Ancestor!

Three-Star Dou Ancestor!

Peak of Three-Star Dou Ancestor!

Four-Star Dou Ancestor!

This rapid ascent only began to slow down when Liu Ling's cultivation reached the peak of Four-Star Dou Ancestor.

Gu He, who had been closely monitoring Liu Ling's condition, reduced the speed of energy transmission slightly upon realizing that Liu Ling was nearing his limit.

Once Liu Ling broke through to Five-Star Dou Ancestor, Gu He immediately stopped the transmission and withdrew his hand.

At the same time, a system notification sounded in Gu He's mind.

"Ding! Detected that the host has granted the first disciple, Liu Ling, eight days of cultivation. Congratulations, host, for receiving a thousandfold return: twenty-two years of cultivation! (Note: These twenty-two years of cultivation correspond to a high-level Dou Saint!)"

"Ding! Twenty-two years of cultivation have been deposited into the system space. Please check and collect them, host!"

This time, although the system only returned twenty-two years of cultivation, Gu He was still very pleased.

Currently, his cultivation had reached the level of a high-level Half-Saint. Even Zi Yan, who received a three-thousandfold return, only gained a little over a hundred years of cultivation. For Liu Ling to achieve this level was already quite impressive. It showed that Liu Ling had grown significantly and was catching up to Xiao Yixian, Zi Yan, Cai Lin, and Han Yue at an astonishing rate.

To be precise, Liu Ling had already caught up to and surpassed Han Yue.

The main reason for this was closely related to the Divine Flame Art that Gu He had taught Liu Ling.

The Divine Flame Art was not only far superior to other techniques in terms of cultivation speed, but its Divine Flame Tempering chapter also contained methods for using one's innate flame to temper the body and soul. Under the continuous tempering of the Green Lotus Core Flame, Liu Ling's body and soul had been refined to the point where he could absorb eight days of Gu He's cultivation in one go.
