Watg Xiao Yi Xian sitting in front of him, Gu He's lips curved into a smile. He thely pressed his palm onto Xiao Yi Xian's back.

  "System, initiate the transfer of cultivation to Xiao Yi Xian," Gu He closed his eyes and silently anded. Following Gu He's order, a surge of Dou Qi within him began to gather towards his palm and then flowed into Xiao Yi Xian's body.

  Xiao Yi Xian was curious about what her teacher was about to transmit to her when she suddenly felt a massive surge of energy pass through her teacher's palm and rush crazily into her body.

  Simultaneously, immense paihrough her body. "Focus your mind and calm your breath. Do your best to absorb this power."

  "If it bees unbearable, let me know." At this moment, Gu He's slightly stern voice echoed in Xiao Yi Xian's ears.

  Upon hearing this, the pani Xiao Yi Xian's heart subsided instantly. She ehe pain within her body, trating on abs the power.

  With the infusion of power from Gu He's palm, Xiao Yi Xian's cultivation realm rapidly advanced. With a muffled sound, Xiao Yi Xian broke through to the sixth stage of Dou disciple!

  After a moment, her aura underwent another ge. She advao the seventh stage of Dou Qi! However, perhaps due to the external force being too intense, a hint of paleness appeared on Xiao Yi Xian's pretty face.

  Yet, even now, Xiao Yi Xian ched her teeth and persisted. Not much time passed before another ge occurred in Xiao Yi Xian's aura.

  The eighth stage of Dou Disciple! The ninth stage of Dou Disciple!

  "Ah..." As she was about to break through to the level of a Dou practitioner, Xiao Yi Xian finally reached her limit.

  Feeling that tinuing would cause her body to explode, she couldn't help but cry out. "Teacher, this disciple 't e any longer."

  Hearing Xiao Yi Xian's voice, a hint of disappoi fshed in Gu He's eyes. However, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately ceased infusing Dou Qi.

  Xiao Yi Xian had reached her limit; pushing further would only harm her.

  [Ding, detected the host granting sed disciple Xiao Yi Xian two days of cultivation. gratutions, host, fering a thousand-fold return, gaining five years of cultivation.](Note: Five years of cultivation corresponds to a ar Dou King level.)

  [Five years of cultivation have been deposited into the system space. Please check accly, host.]

  Upon hearing the system's notification, Gu He's thoughts stirred, and he directly ehe system space.

  Soon, he saw an energy sphere suspended in the void. "With these five years of cultivation, I will definitely break through to the Dou Emperor realm!"

  Looking at the energy sphere in the void, excitement gleamed in Gu He's eyes.

  [Ding, may I ask if the host wishes te the five years of cultivation?]

  Just as Gu He's sciousouched the energy sphere, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

  "No!"

  Without hesitation, Gu He decisively deed and quickly exited the system space. Breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm would undoubtedly trigger a massive storm of Dou qi, causing a tremendous sensation.

  He o find a quiet pake the breakthrough. Slowly opening his eyes, Gu He saw Xiao Yi Xian still immersed in digesting the energy within her body.

  Gu He could sehat Xiao Yi Xian was on the verge of breaking through the Dou Disciple realm at this moment.

  However, it was unfortuhat her body was too weak to withstand another infusion of Dou Qi.

  Gu He didn't disturb Xiao Yi Xian and quietly sat by the table, sipping his tea. Half an hour ter, Xiao Yi Xian slowly opened her eyes. Sensing the power tained within her, excitement gleamed in her beautiful eyes.

  Peak Ninth stage of Dou Disciple! In such a short time, she had gone from the inal Fifth stage of Dou Disciple to the peak of the Ninth stage!

  Naturally, she khat all of this was thanks to her teacher's help, enabling such a signifit ge.

  "Teacher, thank you." Xiao Yi Xian stood up, approached Gu He, and respectfully bowed.

  "How do you feel?" Gu He pced the teacup oable and smiled warmly. "Well... I feel like I've bee really powerful." Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian stretched her slender arms fidently.

  "Powerful..." Gu He was rendered momentarily speechless. The immensely powerful Ninth stage of Dou Disciple...

  It was truly terrifying! "Good disciple, do you know if there's a quiet p Qingshan Town? Your teacher o find a spot for a breakthrough." After a brief silence, Gu He smiled and asked Xiao Yi Xian.

  He remembered that in the inal work, Xiao Yi Xian seemed to know of a secluded valley within the Demo Mountain Rahat pce should be suitable for breaking through to the Dou Emperor realm.

  "Teacher, are you going to make a breakthrough?" At Xiao Yi Xian's words, Gu He paused, then spontaneously replied, "There's a valley that would definitely be suitable for your breakthrough." Upon hearing this, a smile tugged at the ers of Gu He's lips....An hour ter.

  At the outskirts of the Demo Mountain Range, above a valley, Gu He gently desded while holding Xiao Yi Xian in his arms.

  "Teacher, this is the pce." Xiao Yi Xian poio the valley ahead and smiled. At her words, a sense of surprise appeared in Gu He's eyes as he retracted the fiery red wings on his back.

  He gazed into the valley and noticed its abundance of energy. He also observed various rare medial herbs growing within the valley. The fragrance of the herbs mixed with the mist, created a delightful atmosphere.

  After inhaling the herbal st lingering in the air, Gu He nodded with satisfa. "Yes, this is indeed a good pce."

  He then walked directly into the valley's interior, with Xiao Yi Xian following closely behind. After a moment, Gu He arrived at a natural cave entrance. He turo Xiao Yi Xian and said, "Disciple, your teacher will be in seclusion for a while. During this time, make sure to practice the alchemy teiques I've taught you."

  Hearing this, a trace of reluce fshed in Xiao Yi Xian's eyes. She obediently nodded and said, "I uand, Teacher."

  "Good. After I e out of seclusion, I'll assess your progress."

  Gu He wore a gentle smile on his face. He ruffled Xiao Yi Xian's hair and tried to appear more serious. "If there's no improvement, I'll have to discipline you."

  "Teacher, rest assured. Your disciple won't disappoint you." Xiao Yi Xian nodded with determination.

  "Very well." Gu He nodded with satisfa, then slowly ehe cave. As Gu He disappeared ihe cave, a loud rumbling echoed, and a pile of boulders came crashing down, sealing the entraightly in an instant.

  The interior of the cave itch-bck. Gu He's thoughts shifted, aook out a few luminous stones, embedding them into the cave walls. The previously dim

  cave instantly brightened.

  After tidying up the cave briefly and finding a smooth stone, Gu He sat down in a cross-legged position.

  Subsequently, his sciousness ehe system space. He looked at the energy sphere and silently anded, "System, begin abs the five years' worth of cultivation."

  Outside the cave, looking at the now sealed entrance, Xiao Yi Xian stood there for a while, her eyes filled with determination.

  "Teacher, I won't let you down."
