Chapter 135: Dumbstruck Liu Ling

  "Junior sister, this is a weling gift from senior brother."

  In the courtyard, Liu Ling took a jade bottle out of his spatial ring and ha to Qinglin with a smile.

  Upon the sudden appearance of this cute junior sister, Liu Li a bit taken aback, but after experieng Xiao Yixian's arrival the previous time, he quickly adapted to the situation. Looking at Qinglin's adorable face, Liu Ling naturally had a favorable impression of her.

  After Gu He's introdu, Liu Ling readily took out a bottle of elixir as their first meeting gift.

  On Qinglin's side, upon seeing the sudden appearance of Liu Ling, she once again shyly hid behind Gu He, peeking out with curiosity.

  However, when she saw the jade bottle offered by Liu Ling, she hesitated to reach out and accept it. It was clear that Xiao Yixian, as a girl, and a beautiful o that, was easier for Qinglin to ect with, making it easier for her to accept this big sister.

  In trast, Liu Ling, as her senior brother, and oh a strange mask, required a bit more time for Qinglin to adjust. She didn't dare reach out to accept the weling gift, appearing timid and seeking help from her teacher.

  Seeing that Qinglin didn't accept his weling gift, Liu Ling thought that he might have given her something too insignifit. This reminded him of when his sed junior sister had just arrived, and the gift he had given her had bee with mockery from their teacher.

  Thinking about this, Liu Ling quickly expined, "Junior sister, the Returning Qi Elixir, a Grade Three elixir, is a gift from senior brother. Please don't dislike it."

  The best gift Liu Ling could offer was a Grade Three elixir. He was showing his siy.

  On the side, Gu He, upon hearing Liu Ling's words, revealed a surprised expression. "You, kid, have also broken through to bee a Grade Three Alchemist? Well do seems that I've been away for a month, but the two of you haven't been zy. Later, I will definitely reward you."

  Upon hearing this, Liu Ling's face immediately showed a hint of joy.

  He could accept the transfer of enlighte from their teacher again.

  It seemed like his strength was about to skyrocket once more.

  However, Liu Ling's face soon showed a hint of doubt. "Both of us? Could it be...?"

  It seemed he had made a realization. His eyes showed an incredulous look as he turo look at Xiao Yixian, asking in surprise, "Junior sister, have you also broken through to bee a Grade Three Alchemist?"

  Xiao Yixialy nodded and replied with a smile, "I just broke through a few days ago."

  Upon receiving the affirmative response from Xiao Yixian, Liu Ling fell silent, feeling somewhat wounded.

  Although others might not know, he was very aware that Xiao Yixian had only started learning alchemy after joining their teacher's sect.

  Upon careful sideration, Xiao Yixian had been learning alchemy for less than a year. Ihan a year, she had directly broken through to bee a Grade Three Alchemist.

  This was... extremely unbelievable!

  Feeling ie in terms of cultivation speed pared to Xiao Yixian, Liu Ling was hurt. Now, even in alchemy, something he had always been proud of, he was surpassed by Xiao Yixian. This was a tremendous blow to him.

  It seemed that he o work even harder.

  Thinking about their teacher's theory of exceptional stitutions, Liu Ling could only silently accept it.

  pared to these exceptional stitutions, he was simply t himself.

  Thinking this, Liu Ling's gaze fell on Qinglin, who was behind Gu He. He couldn't help but have a thought.

  Was this new junior sister of their teacher also an exceptional stitution?

  This thought fshed through his mind, and Liu Ling became even more anxious.

  If another junior sister surpassed him, it would likely diminish his position as the big senior brother.

  It seemed like he o work harder iure.

  On the side, Gu He watched the ging expressions on Liu Ling's fad uood that the young man had likely been struck by the situation.

  However, Gu He didn't offer any expnation. pared to Xiao Yixian and Qinglin, who had exceptional stitutions, Liu Ling's talent was indeed g.

  Without applying some pressure, this young man would probably sck off immediately.

  Then, Gu He looked at Qinglin hiding behind him aly said, "Si's a gift from your senior brother, you should accept it."

  Upon hearing Gu He's words, Qinglin finally g Liu Ling and theended her small hand to slowly take the jade bottle from Liu Ling's hand. She said in a soft voice, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

  Now that all three of them had bee acquainted, Gu He didn't say more and turo Xiao Yixian, saying, "Take your junior sister to choose a room. From now on, she will also live in the courtyard."

  Xiao Yixian nodded and then took Qinglin's hand, gently saying, "Let's go, Junior Sister."

  Qinglin, with a timid look, g Gu He and, after he nodded, relutly allowed herself to be led away by Xiao Yixian.

  Ohe two of them left, the courtyard was only left with Gu He and Liu Ling.

  Seemingly thinking of something, Liu Ling's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at Gu He with anticipation.

  Seeing Liu Ling's eager expression, Gu He naturally uood what was on his mind. He directly said, "Kneel down in front of me."

  Upon hearing this, Liu Ling was momentarily stunned, and then his face showed aed expression. He replied, "Yes, Teacher!"

  He then obediently k down in front of Gu He, a look of anticipation on his face.

  "You o ehis for a longer period this time," Gu He said with a faint smile. He then slowly stood up and walked behind Liu Ling, pg his hand on his back.

  Liu Ling heard this and promised early, "Teacher, I e for a long time."

  Afterward, Liu Ling's expression became serious. He secretly swore to himself that he must persevere this time and make his teacher look at him with renewed respect.

  During this time, Liu Ling had been sistently using spirit fluid to temper his body. He had been preparing for this transfer of enlighte for a long time, firmly believing that he could break his previous records.

  "Focus and calm your mind!" Gu He instructed, and then with a thought, he began to perform the transfer of enlighte. A powerful surge of Dou Qi flowed into Liu Ling's body through the palm of his hand.

  Feeling the immense power entering his body, Liu Ling was shocked, ahought, "Teacher is getting stronger and stronger!"

  Without aation, Liu Ling put forth his utmost effort. As the potent and violent power flowed into his body, he felt his meridia with a burstiion.

  His face turned pale, and he quickly directed the power towards the vortex of Dou Qi within his body.

  Soon, the aura emanating from Liu Ling's body gradually began to ge.

  Ihay breaths after Gu He initiated the transfer, a muffled sound came from within Liu

  Ling's body.

  Seven-Star Dou Master!

  In an instant, Liu Ling smoothly broke through to the level of a Seven-Star Dou Master.

  But this wasn't the end; Gu He tihe transfer of enlighte.

  After more than thirty breaths, Liu Ling's aura ged once again.

  Eight-Star Dou Master!
