39: Successfully accepted a disciple and upgraded the system!

Ever since his parents passed away, Dugu Litian's heart had been filled with a deep sense of inferiority and apathy, maintaining a detached attitude towards the people and events around him.

At that time, Ye Qingyin entered his heart, and his heart finally found light, but Ye Qingyin's subsequent ruthless betrayal shattered all his beautiful illusions.

Now, his heart was dead, as if frozen in an endless abyss of darkness.

The former Dugu Litian, who still held a glimmer of hope and trust, no longer existed, replaced by a Soul filled with despair and hatred.

Everything in the world, to Dugu Litian at this moment, was merely a meaningless sight.

He knew deeply that so-called trust was just an illusory bubble, easily burst. This world had only brought him pain and harm!

"Dugu Litian."

Lu Hao called out to him.

"I at least saved your life, and this is how you treat me? Why don't you tell me your story first, and see if I can help."

Lu Hao also knew that for someone who could produce Ming Sha, threats were useless; he could only gently persuade him and find his deepest desire.

Dugu Litian stopped upon hearing this, slowly turning to look at Lu Hao:

"I once had a happy and complete family, until I was eight years old..."

Dugu Litian spoke unhurriedly, as if he were merely an outsider to the matter.

His expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.

On the contrary, Lu Hao, listening on the side, frowned deeply; his disciple's life was truly too pitiful, too bitter!

It seemed this Cultivation world was also very cruel; he himself lived a very leisurely and carefree life in Qingxuan Sect.

At this moment, Lu Hao genuinely wanted to help Dugu Litian, and not just because of the System's mission.

After listening, Lu Hao looked at Dugu Litian solemnly and said:

"Become my disciple, and I can help you Cultivate again, allowing you to seek revenge yourself! Revenge for your deceased parents, and revenge for the Dao Companion's schemes and betrayal!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Dugu Litian instantly trembled as if struck by lightning, and even his dead eyes brightened a bit!

"Senior, are your words true? I am currently in a state where my Dao foundation has been seized, and my vital blood is depleted."

It was not surprising that Dugu Litian doubted Lu Hao; the method to allow someone whose foundation was seized to Cultivate again was beyond his comprehension, and also beyond the comprehension of the people of the Northern Wilderness.

Lu Hao chuckled and said to Dugu Litian.

"Don't worry, I always keep my word."

Seeing this, Dugu Litian no longer asked further questions, and knelt down with difficulty, kowtowing:

"Disciple greets Master!"

"Hahaha, good, your Master will definitely allow you to Cultivate again."

[Ding, mission completed. Reward: System upgrade once, ten thousand years of Cultivation, and activation of the Master-Disciple Cultivation function!]

A profound surge of Cultivation poured in, continuously boosting Lu Hao's Cultivation.

However, since Lu Hao was already at the Late Stage Void Refining Realm, his Realm advancement was very slow.

[Ding, congratulations Host for Breaking Through to Void Refining Perfection! This Breakthrough has ended.]

Ah???

"No, ten thousand years of Cultivation, how is it gone?"

[The Cultivation provided by the System was not lacking at all. The Host's Physique is truly too Trash!]

[Please continue to complete missions; there might be Physique rewards!]

...

Although Lu Hao's own Realm advancement was not very high, he felt that his combat power had improved by more than one level.

At this moment, every movement of his seemed to contain world-destroying power!

If he unleashed his full power, who knew what kind of destructive force it would be.

......

Without further concern for his Cultivation, Lu Hao quickly opened the System panel.

Hahaha, this broken System finally upgraded! The total amount of Medicinal Pills in my Qingxuan Sect can now be sufficient!

And Master's Cultivation can also be accelerated!

However, he was somewhat surprised that Dugu Litian could be directly bound: "System, is Dugu Litian's intimacy enough?"

[Host, disciples assigned by System missions can be directly bound and do not require intimacy.]

"So that's how it is. System, bind Dugu Litian!"

[Ding, Disciple Dugu Litian has been bound.]

"Activate Master-Disciple Cultivation function."

[Ding, Master-Disciple Cultivation function has been activated. Accelerators: Ling Tian, Dugu Litian]

After all this was done, Lu Hao looked at Dugu Litian with a smile:

"Disciple, since you have already acknowledged me as your Master, then as your Master, I cannot be too stingy with the initiation gift. Given your current situation, I shall bestow these items upon you."

"Life and Death Creation Pill. This is an Immortal Grade Medicinal Pill. This pill has only one function, which is to rise anew after destruction! Its medicinal properties can only be activated when truly severely injured! There is a high probability it will help you complete a Nirvana, which is perfectly suited for your situation."

"Ming Sha Divine Skill. This Cultivation Technique is an Emperor-grade high-tier Cultivation Technique. Its getting Started is extremely stringent, requiring one to possess Ming Sha to Cultivate, but since you have already cultivated Ming Sha, it is naturally very suitable for you."

"Indestructible Vajra Robe. This is a complete set of defensive Magic Treasure, of Immortal Grade supreme quality. However, with your current Cultivation, you probably cannot activate it. Keep it safe for now; it will definitely come in handy in the future."

"Hmm... for now, I'll give you these. We can discuss more if you need anything in the future."

Dugu Litian, standing by, was already dumbfounded; his dead eyes became bewildered. What was all this? Could it be that the suffering I endured before was just to meet my Master today?

With such a casual bestowal of a Medicinal Pill that seizes the creation of heaven and earth, an Emperor-grade Cultivation Technique, and Immortal Grade supreme quality Magic Treasure—what a grand gesture! Such a terrifying person, and he is my Master?

Dugu Litian held the treasures bestowed by Lu Hao, standing in a daze for a long time until Lu Hao spoke.

"Disciple, why are you standing there stunned? Why don't you quickly take the Medicinal Pill?"

"Oh, oh, okay, thank you, Master!"

Dugu Litian put away the other two items and took the Medicinal Pill.

The moment the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, it transformed into a golden light, continuously surging into Dugu Litian's body, repairing the severely injured areas.

Gradually, Dugu Litian was completely covered in golden light, emitting a sacred aura.

And within his body, earth-shattering changes were occurring; broken Meridians were reconnecting, and depleted Origin Qi began to circulate again.

Even his withered vital blood was continuously regenerating, and it contained even stronger vitality than before.

And in the place where the Congenital Sword Spirit Body existed, the most golden light gathered, constantly flickering, fully repairing the seized Dao Body.

But unfortunately, until the golden light was completely exhausted, the Congenital Sword Spirit Body was not successfully reshaped; in its place was only an ordinary lower Spiritual Root.

However, this lower Spiritual Root was somewhat different from others; it actually contained Ming Sha Qi!

This Life and Death Creation Pill actually transformed the Ming Sha Qi that was lingering on Dugu Litian's body into his Spiritual Root, causing a special change!

Although it was only a lower Spiritual Root, the aura it emitted made Lu Hao realize that this matter was probably not that simple!

Dugu Litian, however, did not pay special attention to these things; he was incredibly excited now.

He could Cultivate again!

As long as there was hope for Cultivation, there was still a chance for revenge!!!

As soon as he thought of revenge, his eyes once again surged with endless hatred!

This enmity is irreconcilable!
