"Master …"
"Isn't this your Purple Eagle Flame?"
When Gu He flashed the purple flame, Liu Ling immediately opened his eyes wide.
He had followed Gu He for many years and naturally recognized that the purple flame was the flame that Gu He usually used to refine medicine.
The Purple Eagle Flame was a strange beast flame. Back then, Gu He had obtained it with great difficulty.
Could it be that master is even going to reward me with the Purple Eagle Flame?
Thinking of what Gu He said just now, Liu Ling could no longer endure it.
Plop!
"Master, you can't!"
"You can't!"
"You first taught me a rank seven cultivation technique and then taught me cultivation. I can't repay you with just these."
"This Purple Eagle Flame is the flame that master used to refine medicine. I can't accept it!"
This time, Liu Ling acted out of character. He knelt on the ground and refused to accept it.
The Purple Eagle Flame had a miraculous effect on alchemists. If he accepted it, how would his master refine medicine in the future?
Thinking of this, Liu Ling refused to accept the Purple Eagle Flame even if he was beaten to death.
"Ling 'er, get up first." Seeing Liu Ling kneeling again, Gu He immediately had a headache.
This silly boy was not bad, but his legs were too soft.
Kneeling at the slightest provocation, who could stand it?
"Master, as long as you take back your order, I will get up." Liu Ling shook his head and still refused to accept it.
"Ling 'er, if you don't get up, I will be angry."
Seeing that Liu Ling refused to listen to him, Gu He could only put on a 'strict master' attitude and pretended to be angry.
"Master!" Hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling was unwilling but he could only obediently get up.
"Master, I can't accept the Purple Eagle Flame." Liu Ling still refused to accept the Purple Eagle Flame.
"Ling 'er, actually I have already received news about a type of Heavenly Flame."
Seeing that Liu Ling refused to accept it, Gu He could only use his ultimate move: "I will not be able to use this Purple Eagle Flame soon. If you don't want it, I will give it to someone else."
After speaking, Gu He prepared to take back the Purple Eagle Flame in his hand.
Hearing this, Liu Ling was slightly stunned. After he reacted, he immediately pulled Gu He's sleeve.
"Don't … Master …"
"I was wrong, Master!"
The mournful expression on Liu Ling's face immediately changed into a flattering expression.
"Master, since you don't need it, why don't you give it to me?"
Gu He said with a straight face, "Didn't you refuse to take it no matter what?"
Liu Ling hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Master, I was wrong. I want, I want …"
"That's more like it."
A complacent look flashed across Gu He's eyes when he heard this. After which, he no longer held Liu Ling back and directly handed the Purple Eagle Flame to Liu Ling.
At the same time, the system notification sounded in Gu He's mind.
"Ding! It has been detected that the host has bestowed the Purple Eagle Flame to the eldest disciple, Liu Ling Beast Flame. Congratulations to the host for triggering the Ten Thousand Times Reward and obtaining the Mysterious Flame, Nine Nether Flame."
"The Nine Flames of the Heavenly Flame has been sent to the System Space. Host, please take note and check."
Ten Thousand Times Return!
Strange Flame Nine Underworld Flame!
Gu He's right hand, which was holding the Purple Eagle Flame, could not help but tremble slightly.
"Disciple thanks Master!" Liu Ling carefully received the Purple Eagle Flame and thanked Gu He.
"Go, go. Hurry up and refine it."
Hearing the system notification in his mind, Gu He could not wait to check it out. He immediately urged Liu Ling to leave.
"Yes, then disciple will take his leave."
Liu Ling's feelings were the same as Gu He's. He could not wait to refine the Purple Eagle Flame. After hearing Gu He's urging, he did not stay any longer and hurriedly left Gu He's room.
After Liu Ling left, Gu He's consciousness entered the System Space impatiently.
In the System Space, other than the black scroll and the purple ball of light, there was another purple flame.
This purple flame was extremely spiritual and had the shape of an undying bird.
"This is the Nine Flames of the Heavenly Flame?"
Looking at the purple flame in front of him, Gu He's eyes were filled with excitement.
The Heavenly Flame was something that every Alchemist yearned for. As an Alchemist, Gu He was naturally no exception.
"Ding! Does the host wish to start refining the Nine Flames of the Heavenly Flame?"
Just as Gu He's consciousness approached the Nine Flames of the Heavenly Flame, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
Hearing the system's voice, Gu He was slightly stunned. After which, he shook his head.
He did not know if there would be any danger if he rashly merged with the Heavenly Flame. Although he had the system's help, Gu He felt that it was better to raise his cultivation first for safety's sake.
Thinking of this, Gu He immediately looked at the purple ball of light at the side.
"System, extract nineteen years of cultivation!" After pondering for a moment, Gu He directly ordered the system.
As Gu He's voice fell, an enormous energy suddenly surged out of his body.
"Not good!"
Feeling this energy, Gu He's expression changed. After which, his body flashed and he arrived at the Alchemy Room next door.
At this moment, the vast energy had already flowed into Gu He's limbs and bones. Gu He forcefully calmed himself down. After which, he circulated the Purple Sun Art and began to absorb this enormous energy.
After a moment, Gu He's cultivation gradually rose …
Four Star Dou Wang!
Five Star Dou Wang!
Six Star Dou Wang!
… …
In the Alchemy Room, the aura on Gu He's body rose steadily. It was extremely terrifying.
Luckily, Gu He had arrived at the Alchemy Room in time. In order to prevent the furnace from exploding, the walls of the Alchemy Room were built with many precious materials. At this moment, the commotion caused by Gu He's successive breakthroughs was not noticed by outsiders.
Seven Star Dou Wang!
Eight Star Dou Wang!
Nine Star Dou Wang!
As he continued to absorb the energy in his body, Gu He's cultivation continued to rise.
In the end, Gu He's cultivation stopped at the peak of the Nine Star Dou Wang.
He was only one step away from breaking through to the Dou Huang realm.
At the same time, the energy in Gu He's body was finally completely absorbed.
Slowly opening his eyes, Gu He's eyes flashed with excitement.
Nine Star Dou Wang!
In just a short moment, he had jumped from a three star Dou Wang to a nine star Dou Wang expert.
This feeling was really too awesome.
Feeling the powerful energy that belonged to a nine star Dou Wang in his body, the corner of Gu He's mouth unconsciously revealed a confident smile.
According to this progress, it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the Dou Huang realm.
Having read the original work, he naturally understood.
Only by stepping into the Dou Huang realm would one have the ability to protect themselves in this world where experts were as common as clouds.
"With my current strength as a nine star Dou Wang, with the help of the system, merging with the Nine Underworld Flame should be fine."
After pondering for a moment, Gu He indifferently said, "System, extract the Nine Underworld Flame!"
As Gu He's voice fell, the purple flame in the system space directly turned into a purple light and instantly entered Gu He's body.
As the Nine Underworld Flame entered his body, Gu He's body immediately felt as if he was struck by lightning. His face instantly became pale.
An incomparably hot feeling instantly rose in his body.
Beads of sweat instantly rolled down Gu He's forehead. Gu He felt that the flesh in his body was constantly twitching.
Accompanied by this heart-wrenching pain, the Nine Underworld Flame was gradually refined by Gu He.
After an unknown amount of time, the pain in Gu He's body slowly disappeared.
At this moment, Gu He slowly opened his eyes. A purple light flashed in his pitch-black eyes.
Gu He slowly extended his right hand. With a thought, a purple flame instantly rose.
Looking at the purple Nine Underworld Flame in his hand, the corner of Gu He's mouth revealed a satisfied smile.
"Next, it's time for this Emperor Level Cultivation Method, Soul Devouring Art."
After his excitement, Gu He gradually calmed down and slowly looked at the black scroll in the system space.
