Upon hearing Xiao Yixian's words again, Liu Ling was completely bewildered.
His face was filled with disbelief!
Just moments ago, he had been feeling proud of himself for soon breaking through to the Dou Practitioner realm, thinking of himself as an unparalleled genius.
Little did he know that he would be slapped in the face so quickly.
At this moment, Liu Ling wished he could find a hole to hide in.
However, after a wave of embarrassment passed, all that remained in Liu Ling's mind was shock.
He remembered that when Xiao Yixian had just joined, her cultivation level was only at the one-star Dou Practitioner level.
How long had it been?
Just a month?
She had directly broken through to the Dou Master realm?
She had crossed an entire major realm in just a month!
This was simply unbelievable!
Liu Ling couldn't comprehend it at all.
Suddenly, Liu Ling thought of something and looked towards Gu He in the pavilion.
Could it be that the teacher secretly helped her, boosting her cultivation level?
Thinking of this, Liu Ling felt a tinge of bitterness.
Teacher, you can't be biased!
Sensing Liu Ling's resentful gaze, Gu He immediately understood his thoughts.
"Do you really think, young man, that your junior sister's breakthrough to the Dou Master realm is all the credit of her master?" Gu He's tone became somewhat stern.
Facing Gu He's severe gaze, Liu Ling felt a bit afraid and lowered his head, not saying anything.
This attitude undoubtedly revealed his thoughts.
Seeing Liu Ling's appearance, Gu He couldn't help but feel displeased. "It seems you really do think so."
"Let me tell you now, since your junior sister came to the Cloud Mist Sect, she has never received any Dou Qi Infusion or cultivation assistance from her master."
"All the progress she made this month was solely through her own cultivation," Gu He stated unequivocally.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ling raised his head in astonishment, saying, "This can't be!"
He couldn't believe that someone could break through a major realm in just one month.
"You don't believe it, you can ask your junior sister if I have given her Dou Qi Infusion in the past month," Gu He said, not bothering to explain further.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ling couldn't help but cast a questioning glance at Xiao Yixian, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Xiao Yixian, upon hearing their conversation and seeing Liu Ling's gaze, didn't hide anything and stated plainly, "Senior Brother, what our teacher said is correct. He hasn't given me any Dou Qi Infusion this month."
Upon receiving Xiao Yixian's response, Liu Ling hesitated for a moment, then suddenly moved in front of Gu He and knelt down with a resounding thud.
"Teacher, I was wrong," Liu Ling said earnestly.
Looking at Liu Ling kneeling before him, Gu He's eyes revealed a trace of satisfaction.
This brat hadn't completely disappointed him after all.
Then, Gu He maintained a stern expression and asked, "What do you think you did wrong?"
Liu Ling felt ashamed as he replied, "Teacher, I shouldn't have doubted you, and I shouldn't have felt jealous of my junior sister."
Upon hearing this, Gu He nodded in satisfaction and said, "You may rise."
Upon hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling slowly stood up, but he still bore a sense of shame on his face.
Gu He looked at Liu Ling and began to speak, "Do you want to know why your junior sister progressed so rapidly?"
Liu Ling raised his head to look at Gu He and asked, "Why?"
"Do you know that on this continent, there are people born with extraordinary constitutions, and their cultivation speed is inherently different from ordinary people?" Gu He explained in a calm tone.
"Born with extraordinary constitutions?
Upon hearing this, Liu Ling widened his eyes, showing astonishment.
It was the first time he had heard of this concept.
"Could it be that my junior sister..."
Suddenly, Liu Ling thought of something and looked at Xiao Yixian with a shocked gaze.
"Yes, your junior sister is indeed born with an extraordinary constitution!" Gu He confirmed Liu Ling's speculation.
"In this world, there are various types of extraordinary constitutions."
"For example, the Seven Apertures Exquisite Pill Heart, born for alchemy, with a natural understanding of alchemy, and, barring any accidents, destined to become a generation's Alchemy Emperor."
"For example, the Jade Snake Three-Flower Pupils, born with the ability to control serpent-shaped magical beasts with just a glance."
"Furthermore, there's the Woeful Poison Body, capable of rapidly increasing one's strength by consuming all sorts of poisons."
Having said this, Gu He glanced at Xiao Yixian, smiling faintly.
Upon meeting Gu He's gaze, Xiao Yixian also felt somewhat shocked.
She hadn't expected that in this world, there were people with extraordinary constitutions similar to hers.
Then, Gu He turned his attention to Liu Ling, who was now in a daze, and continued speaking, "Furthermore, there are even those who are born with the Dou God bloodline, possessing the cultivation of a Dou Saint from birth.
Gu He stood up, looked down at Liu Ling, and said, "The continent of Dou Qi is vast and boundless, filled with countless geniuses. Ling'er, what you usually see is just the tip of the iceberg. Don't let a little achievement make you arrogant and think you're invincible."
Upon hearing Gu He's words, Liu Ling's mind trembled.
Seven Apertures Exquisite Pill Heart!
Jade Snake Three-Flower Pupils!
Woeful Poison Body!
Dou God bloodline!
These unfamiliar terms, although Liu Ling was hearing them for the first time, left him profoundly shaken.
So, in this world, there were so many geniuses!
At this moment, all the pride in Liu Ling's heart vanished.
When he raised his head, his eyes only held determination.
"Teacher, I understand!" Liu Ling looked at Gu He with respect.
"Understanding is good; I didn't say these things to discourage you," Gu He said in a calm tone.
"Being born with an extraordinary constitution may give you a higher starting point than others, but the most crucial aspect of the path of cultivation still relies on your postnatal efforts."
"As long as you diligently cultivate, you will undoubtedly achieve something in the future."
Pausing here, Gu He's tone softened as he smiled and said, "Moreover, with the guidance and assistance of your teacher's transmission and infusion, as long as you put in the effort, there's no reason you can't surpass those with extraordinary constitutions."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ling's heart stirred.
That's right!
So what if others have extraordinary constitutions?
As long as he can endure the transmission and infusion for a long enough time, why couldn't he surpass them?
Thinking of this, Liu Ling couldn't help but regain his confidence, and a more determined look flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Gu He secretly nodded in approval.
He hoped that this brat would change for the better after learning this lesson.
"Teacher, may I know what kind of extraordinary constitution Junior Sister possesses?"
At this moment, Liu Ling looked towards Xiao Yixian with some curiosity.
"Extraordinary constitutions are of great importance and shouldn't be revealed lightly," Gu He frowned slightly and said in a serious tone.
Xiao Yixian's Woeful Poison Body was of great significance, and once it was leaked, it could bring about disaster.
With his current strength, he couldn't handle such trouble.
Therefore, he couldn't reveal it to Liu Ling at the moment.
Seeing Gu He's serious expression, Liu Ling seemed to understand something and promised, "I understand, Teacher. I will never disclose anything about Junior Sister's extraordinary constitution."
