BTTH: DISCIPLE CASHBACK SYSTEM

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun took the list that Gu He handed over and glanced at it. She couldn't help but sigh, "Truly befitting of a top-tier elixir among the sixth-grade ones, the required ingredients are not common treasures."

Gu He smiled silently at her words. If it weren't for the preciousness of the ingredients, he would have refined it himself without seeking Yun Yun's assistance.

"Senior Gu He, I will gather these ingredients as soon as possible." After carefully examining the items on the list, Yun Yun looked at Gu He and spoke.

While the ingredients for refining the Supreme Emperor Pill were indeed precious, given Yun Lan Sect's accumulated resources over the years, gathering these ingredients shouldn't be difficult.

"Very well." Gu He nodded at her response and then said, "Sect Master, I hope you can gather these ingredients within a month. I will be going on a journey after that, and I hope you can have them ready by then."

"Senior Gu He is going on another journey?" Upon hearing this, surprise flickered across Yun Yun's face. Lately, why was Senior Gu He so fond of traveling?

"Yes, I am planning to visit the Tagre Desert." Gu He didn't hide the fact and truthfully answered. "The Tagre Desert!"

Yun Yun was taken aback. The Tagre Desert was the territory of the Serpentfolk. Entering the Tagre Desert recklessly was an extremely dangerous endeavor.

Gu He nodded calmly and continued, "I received information that there's a Heavenly Flame hidden within the Tagre Desert."

"Heavenly Flame!" {TL/N:Shit!These!Exclamations!}

Surprised by Gu He's words, amazement appeared on Yun Yun's face. She was astonished that a Heavenly Flame could be found in the Tagre Desert.

Even though Yun Yun wasn't an alchemist by background, she understood the value of such a treasure. No wonder Senior Gu He was venturing into the perilous Tagre Desert. Suddenly, Yun Yun recalled something, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face,

"Senior Gu He, don't you already possess a Heavenly Flame?" Yun Yun remembered that during the last time she refined the Gathering Qi Powder, Gu He had revealed a Heavenly Flame.

Though Yun Yun didn't have a deep understanding of Heavenly Flames, she knew that a person could refine only one type of Heavenly Flame at most.

Upon hearing Yun Yun's words, Gu He was momentarily taken aback. He hadn't expected her to make that connection. However, he had already prepared his response.

"To be honest, I intend to obtain this Heavenly Flame on behalf of a disciple under my tutelage." Gu He glanced at the nearby Xiao Yi Xian, and a smile formed on his lips as he continued to speak calmly.

"What?" Hearing Gu He's words, Yun Yun thought she might have misheard.

Her delicate face showed momentary perplexity and an expression of incredulity. "Elder Gu He, are you saying that you're obtaining this heavenly flame... for the disciples under your tutelage?"

"You mean to say?" Yun Yun could hardly believe what she was hearing.

"Indeed, I am acquiring this heavenly flame for the sake of my disciples," Gu He nodded, confirming his statement. Although it might be difficult to believe, Gu He was saying this openly.

Because, in truth, he was obtaining the Green Core Lotus Flame for the benefit of his disciples. He even began to imagine what might happen once he gifted the flame to his disciples.

He had received a heavenly flame himself for bestowing a Flame of Beast upon his disciple. What would happen if he gave them a heavenly flame like the Green Core Lotus Flame?

But he dared not dwell on those thoughts. In any case, he believed that the results would surely exceed his expectations.
With the system's mechanism for reimbursement in place, he wouldn't lose out.

"Elder Gu He, are you serious?" Getting a direct response from Gu He, Yun Yun's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at him.

"Of course, I am serious." "The Sect Master must also understand what a heavenly flame means for an alchemist."

"If my disciples possess the Green Core Lotus Flame, their future accomplishments will undoubtedly be extraordinary."

"For a mentor, the greatest hope is to witness their disciples achieve remarkable success in the future."

"Naturally, I am no exception."

"Since I have taken them as my disciples, it's only natural for me to help them surpass their predecessors and shine even brighter."

Gu He's face carried an elegant smile, and his tone was filled with anticipation. "A mere heavenly flame is nothing compared to the accomplishments my disciples might achieve in the future. Even if I were to die, I would do so willingly as long as my disciples excel."

Hearing Gu He's words, Yun Yun was left speechless. Could Elder Gu He truly go to such lengths for the sake of his disciples? Handing over a heavenly flame, a treasure of the world, to his disciples?

Her gaze remained fixed on Gu He as she processed his words, feeling a sense of humility. As fellow mentors, she realized how far she lagged behind him.

On the other side, Nalan Yanran was profoundly moved by Gu He's deeply touching words. Observing his handsome appearance and refined demeanor, she found herself captivated.

An idea sprouted in her heart—how wonderful it would be to have a mentor like Elder Gu He. With that thought, Nalan Yanran couldn't help but cast an envious glance at the nearby Xiao Yi Xian.

Being able to study under the guidance of Elder Gu He was undoubtedly a blessing. "So gentle, considerate, and caring for his disciples. Plus, he looks so handsome.

He's practically perfect. Not to mention Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran's feelings. At this moment, the one most touched among those present is undoubtedly Xiao Yi Xian, the disciple behind Gu He.

When she heard that Gu He was taking the Heavenly Flame for the sake of his disciples, she stood frozen in place. His subsequent heartfelt words touched her even more deeply.

Recalling the day when she became his disciple, he imparted his insights and experiences as a sixth-grade alchemist, even imparting
profound cultivation methods without hesitation.

He even generously gifted her with extraordinary items like the Flight Technique. Looking back, since becoming his disciple, he had never been stingy but rather exceedingly generous.

Who else's master could do such things? Reflecting on these memories, tears welled up in Xiao Yi Xian's crystal-clear eyes. The next moment, she couldn't hold back and threw herself into Gu He's embrace, crying out, 'Master, I don't want you to die!'

"Uh..." Seeing Xiao Yi Xian in his arms, Gu He was slightly stunned, then revealed a warm smile. "Silly girl, why are you crying? Haven't you seen you all grow up? How could I bear to die?"

Afterward, with Gu He's comforting words, Xiao Yi Xian stopped crying. When she looked up, her eyes were already teary. "Alright, stop crying. Do you want the Sect Master and Senior Sister Yanran to make fun of you?" Gu He playfully said, ruffling Xiao Yi Xian's slightly disheveled hair.
