BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Chapter 272: The Terrifying Return of Cultivation!

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

"Ding, it has been detected that the host has imparted twenty days of cultivation to the fifth disciple, Ziyan. Congratulations to the host for triggering a two thousand times return, receiving a hundred and eight years of cultivation!" (Note: This hundred and eight years of cultivation corresponds to a two-star Dou Zun.)

"One hundred and eight years of cultivation has been deposited into the system space, please check it, host."

Two thousand times return! One hundred and eight years of cultivation!

Hearing the system's voice, Gu He was jolted; the power return he received this time was truly terrifying.

One hundred and eight years of cultivation for a two-star Dou Zun might be more than all the power returns he had received before combined.

Thinking this, Gu He's consciousness immediately dived into the system space.

Inside the system space, a ten-zhang large cluster of purple energy floated, not only deeper in color than before but also vastly larger in volume than all the energy he had received before.

If he were to absorb all this energy, Gu He could potentially leap to become a peak mid-stage Dou Zun powerhouse.

At this thought, Gu He's breathing became somewhat rapid.

"Steady!"

Taking a deep breath, Gu He forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.

...

"Teacher, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Seeing Gu He's strange reactions, concern flashed through Ziyan's shiny black eyes.

Seeing that Gu He didn't respond, with his breathing so rapid and his facial muscles twitching oddly, Ziyan grew even more puzzled.

My cultivation has increased so much this time, Teacher must be suffering from excessive power loss.

"Wuwu, Teacher, it's all Ziyan's fault, I shouldn't have accepted the power transfer from you!"

Thinking thus, Ziyan's voice suddenly carried a hint of sobbing.

Gu He, hearing Ziyan's crying, immediately returned from the system space, looking at the little tearful figure before him, feeling a wave of warmth in his heart.

Since taking Ziyan as a disciple, Gu He had witnessed her cry over him twice.

The first time was when Ziyan couldn't find Gu He for a long time and feared something had happened to him during the rampage of the invisible fire python.

This time, it was because Gu He hadn't responded to Ziyan in time, leading her to worry unnecessarily.

Gu He wiped the tears from Ziyan's eyes, showing a gentle smile, "Ziyan, your teacher is standing right in front of you, why are you crying?"

"Teacher, you don't have to pretend to be so relaxed. I know the power transfer has taken a huge toll on you, I won't let you transfer power to me anymore."

Ziyan loudly stated her decision, believing Gu He's smile and relaxed demeanor to be a façade.

Not accept my power transfers anymore? How could that be! Gu He internally disagreed with Ziyan's decision entirely.

Until now, Ziyan had been the disciple with the highest cultivation and strongest physique under Gu He, and the power returned to him had already exceeded the total of all other disciples. Now that Ziyan said she would no longer accept his power transfers, how could Gu He bear it?

"Ziyan, it seems you really have misunderstood your teacher. The cultivation technique I practice is a bit special. Releasing some power every so often can make the Dou Qi energy in my body more solid, and it won't leave any side effects on the body."

To change Ziyan's mind, Gu He, without a blush or heartbeat, made up a story on the spot.

Hearing Gu He's explanation, Ziyan stared at him with her big, black eyes, appearing not to fully believe Gu He's words.

"How can it be, don't you believe your teacher's words?" Gu He asked, feigning seriousness.

Even though Gu He put on a serious expression, Ziyan still shook her head from side to side.

Seeing the situation, Gu He had no choice but to play his trump card.

The next moment, Gu He turned his back and said in a deep voice, "If you don't even believe what your teacher says, then you no longer need to be my disciple!"

"What!"

Hearing Gu He's words, Zi Yan's expression suddenly froze, and it felt as if something inside her had plummeted.

Reacting, she reached out with her small, tender hand to tug at Gu He's pant leg, bursting into tears.

"Wuwu, Teacher, please don't send Zi Yan away!"

This time, Zi Yan cried even harder than before.

Hearing Zi Yan's crying, Gu He, who was facing away from her, couldn't help but regret saying those words.

"Teacher, please forgive Sister! Please don't send her away!"

"Sister, quickly say you believe what Teacher just said!"

As Gu He hesitated on whether to take back his previous statement, Han Yue knelt down on the ground and pleaded loudly.

Their actions made Gu He's scalp tingle.

He only now realized the impact his casual words could have on his two disciples.

After hearing Han Yue's reminder, Zi Yan sniffled and then quickly said, "Teacher, I believe what you said is true!"

"Phew!"

Upon hearing Zi Yan's words, Gu He let out a long sigh, slowly turning around. For a moment, his expression looked like that of a child who had done something wrong.

"Little girl, stop crying. You're so cute; how could your teacher bear to send you away?" Gu He once again wiped the tears from Zi Yan's face, speaking very gently.

After saying this, Gu He suddenly produced a red and white spiritual medicine pill.

After showing the pill in front of Zi Yan, her initially dazed eyes immediately sparkled.

The next moment, Zi Yan's small hand moved swiftly, snatching the pill from Gu He's hand and then chewing it.

Seeing Zi Yan's cheeks puff up, Gu He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Han Yue, get up!" Seeing that Zi Yan was pacified, Gu He glanced at Han Yue and said lightly.

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

"Ding, it has been detected that the host has given his fifth disciple a fifth-grade spiritual medicine pill. Congratulations to the host for receiving a ten thousand times return, obtaining ten thousand fifth-grade spiritual medicine pills."

"Ten thousand fifth-grade spiritual medicine pills have been deposited into the system space, please check it, host."

Hearing this system notification, Gu He was momentarily stunned, then quickly came to a realization.

Zi Yan's crying and fuss had made him forget about the monthly return limit.

So, when he gave that spiritual medicine pill to Zi Yan, the system automatically made an assessment.

"Ten thousand fifth-grade spiritual medicine pills, equivalent to twenty thousand fifth-grade spiritual herbs, and it also saves the time needed for refining." Thinking this, Gu He was very at ease. He didn't feel any regret about using up one of the return opportunities.
