"Medicine cauldron?"
Hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling hesitated for a moment, his face showing a trace of uncertainty. The cauldron he held in his hand might not be as powerful as Gu He's Scarlet Serpent Cauldron, but it was far superior to ordinary cauldrons. He had acquired it using the influence of his family, which was not an easy feat.
It was somewhat hard for him to part with it when thinking about giving it to the new junior martial sister. Liu Ling hailed from the Liu Clan in the Imperial Capital.
Although the clan's strength was not comparable to the top three major families, it still had . After he became Gu He's disciple, this new status brought some prestige to the Liu Clan, granting them a bit of face even among the top three families, which further enhanced their influence.
"What's this? You can't bear to part with a simple cauldron?" Gu He's voice held a hint of dissatisfaction.
"It's not like that…" Seeing that his teacher was getting a bit upset, Liu Ling hastily explained, "Teacher, this cauldron is really handy for me. How about... I return to the clan in a few days and pick one for my junior martial sister?""Handy, is it?" "Then, you can use it yourself."
Hearing this, Gu He didn't press the matter further and nonchalantly said, "I was planning to give you the Scarlet Serpent Cauldron next
month. But since you already have a cauldron you're comfortable with, let's forget it."
Scarlet Serpent Cauldron? Give it to me?
Hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling's expression changed. Liu Ling had seen Gu He's Scarlet Serpent Cauldron; it was a Four-Spouts Cauldron that he had been longing for.
However, even when Liu Ling wanted to borrow it in the past, Gu He refused. But now, Gu He was saying he wanted to give the Scarlet Serpent Cauldron to Liu Ling. Liu Ling found it hard to believe.
Wasn't the Scarlet Serpent Cauldron his teacher's most prized possession? How could he possibly give it to him? The teacher must be joking.
However, even so, Liu Ling still looked at Gu He with a hint of hope and asked softly, "Teacher, are you serious Upon hearing this, Gu He chuckled inwardly but maintained a displeased expression on his face.
"Do you think I'm as petty as you? Scrapping over a mere cauldron." "Furthermore, when has your teacher ever lied to you?" "If you really can't bear to part with your junk cauldron, I won't force you. I'll just leave my Scarlet Serpent Cauldron to your junior martial sister."
"Who said I can't bear to part with it!"
With Gu He's confirmation, Liu Ling's attitude completely changed, and he laughed awkwardly, "Teacher, your Scarlet Serpent Cauldron is a Four-Spouts Cauldron, and with my junior martial sister's current strength, she can't use it yet. I'll accept it for her."
After speaking, Liu Ling immediately took out a green cauldron from his storage ring and smiled at Xiao Yi Xian, "Junior martial sister, this cauldron is called the Green Wood Cauldron. It's definitely a treasure. I'll present it to you as a greeting gift. Take good care of it."
Xiao Yi Xian looked at Liu Ling's rapidly changing expressions, momentarily unable to react. She blinked her eyes in confusion and glanced at Gu He.
"Since your senior martial brother is giving it to you, go ahead and accept it," Gu He nodded at Xiao Yi Xian with a smile. "Okay." Xiao Yi Xian finally nodded, looking happily at the Green Wood Cauldron before her.
Since accepting Gu He's inheritance as a sixth-grade alchemist, Xiao Yi Xian has wanted to personally refine pills. However, she had been unable to do so due to the lack of a cauldron.
Now, with the Green Wood Cauldron in hand, her wish was finally fulfilled. She joyfully touched the cauldron and then stored it in her spatial ring.
After all of this, Xiao Yi Xian realized she had forgotten something.She turned to Liu Ling and softly said, "Thank you, senior martial brother."
"Don't mention it, junior martial sister. It's just a cauldron," Liu Ling waved his hand nonchalantly, his attitude now the opposite of before. "If there's anything you don't understand in the future, feel free to come to me. I'll be more than happy to help."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded and smiled, "Thank you, senior martial brother." On the sidelines, Gu He listened and felt somewhat speechless. Xiao Yi Xian had already accepted his sixth-grade alchemist inheritance.
In terms of alchemical knowledge, she was more than capable of surpassing Liu Ling. And yet, Liu Ling was still offering to guide her...
"Teacher, you see... I've already given my cauldron to junior martial sister. So, about…"
After giving away the Green Wood Cauldron, Liu Ling thought about Gu He's promise and looked at him with anticipation.
"Didn't I say I'll give it to you next month?" Gu He raised an eyebrow. "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you trust your
teacher's words?"
Less than a month had passed since Gu He had given Liu Ling a treasure. Sending the Scarlet Serpent Cauldron now wouldn't trigger the system's return mechanism. However, a month was not too far away, just a few days left.
"I dare not, teacher," Liu Ling quickly lowered his head, realizing he had overstepped by asking too soon. He still had a lot of trust in Gu He's words.
After all, Gu He had previously imparted even his most cherished Purple Eagle Flame and a seventh-grade soul cultivation technique to him. Would he really be concerned about a mere Scarlet Serpent Cauldron?
"Teacher, you've only been gone for a short while. How could I make a breakthrough in such a brief period?" Liu Ling responded with a slightly aggrieved tone upon hearing Gu He's dissatisfaction.
"What's this? Are you defying me now?" Gu He gave Liu Ling a stern look and then continued, "Here's the deal. If you can advance to a six star Dou Practitioner within ten days, not only will I grant you the Scarlet Serpent Cauldron, but I'll also give you an opportunity for another transmission of techniques, just like last time. How about that?"
Although Gu He conducted transmission of techniques every month for his disciples, he hoped that they wouldn't overly rely on him. Thus, he resorted to using such methods to motivate them.
With this thought in mind, Gu He couldn't help but sigh. He was the only one capable of using transmission of techniques to motivate
his disciples. There was just no other way around it – having a higher level of cultivation was useful!
Upon hearing this, Liu Ling's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Gu He. "Teacher, are you serious?" Gu He smiled and nodded. "As long as you accomplish what I've said, then it's true."
"Very well, I will definitely make the breakthrough within ten days!" Liu Ling's expression instantly became highly motivated when he thought about the exhilarating sensation of breaking through during the previous transmission of techniques.
On the sidelines, Xiao Yi Xian listened to their conversation, and memories of her own breakthrough during the previous transmission of techniques flooded her mind. The feeling of soaring in cultivation was truly amazing.
"Junior disciple, the same applies to you. As long as you can advance to a two-star Dou Practitioner within that time, I will also reward you with another transmission of techniques," Gu He promised Xiao Yi Xian as he noticed the envy in her eyes.
"Teacher, you're truly wonderful!" Xiao Yi Xian's eyes brightened, and she resolved to practice even harder. Gu He's promises immediately ignited a surge of motivation in his two disciples towards their future cultivation. After all, the temptation of another transmission of techniques was simply too great to resist.
