Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Why is Murder on Your Mind? Shake it off!

“Oral elixir?”

Liu Qingqing was initially stunned, and soon realized it referred to the night of their wedding when she had refused the precious elixir that could bring sudden enlightenment, and her husband had tricked her into taking it.

Before she could speak, Gu Changge had already silently recited, “Spend one thousand attribute points to exchange for a fourth-ranked Root Bone Pill.”

[One second-ranked Root Bone Pill (+5) has been stored in the system space.]

[A total of 1000 attribute points used, remaining attribute points for host: 900.]

“Just one?”

Gu Changge was slightly taken aback, as he had always exchanged them one by one. He never considered that only one elixir would appear if exchanged all at once.

With a thought, the elixir from the system space appeared in his hand.

Upon brief inspection, it seemed similar to previous second-ranked elixirs, except the elixir fragrance was noticeably richer and it still had two elixir patterns.

No, wait…

On closer inspection, the patterns appeared more complex and seemed to contain some special inscriptions.

“Is this… the spirit-grade elixir that can enhance the Root Bone?”

Liu Qingqing recognized it immediately as she watched the elixir in her husband’s hand.

“Exactly, try taking it,” he suggested.

“The effects should be better than the previous ones.”

He did not actually plan to trick her into taking another oral elixir again; the last time was out of desperation.

“Open your mouth.”

Seeing his wife was about to say something else, he simply hooked her delicate chin and commanded her.

The abrupt assertiveness made Liu Qingqing obediently open her mouth.

As he put the elixir into her mouth, because he did not withdraw promptly, she even snapped at it with her soft lips.

Liu Qingqing was not concerned about these details and hurriedly sat cross-legged to cultivate, focusing on refining the elixir.

Feeling her meridians, Qi Sea, and even her bones significantly enhance from the medicinal power, she was somewhat surprised.

Normally, the more one uses an elixir of the same effect, the less effective it becomes.

The fact that her husband’s elixirs had not induced any medicinal resistance with each use was already perplexing to her.

But this time was even more outrageous. Not only was the effect not weakened, it actually improved!?

However, she could not afford to think about that at the moment and could only concentrate on refining the medicinal power.

[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing (Reached Profound Realm–Perfection), has taken a second-ranked Root Bone Pill (+5). Share?]

A notification sounded after thirty minutes.

Without any hesitation, Gu Changge skillfully chose to share.

Unlike when he took it himself, the shared medicinal power directly nourished his Root Bone.

Even the twelve-grade lotus inside him was somewhat enhanced.

Moreover, while his wife was still running her cultivation technique, he directly opened the Daoist couple panel:

[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing]

[Root Bone: 105] +

[Comprehension: 100]

[Cultivation Technique: Spirit Moon Technique–Earth Rank Top Grade]

[Realm: Reached Profound–Perfection]

Seeing this,

he decisively synchronized the five points of Root Bone from the panel as well.

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 210]

[Comprehension: 205]

Initially, his Root Bone value was just a round two hundred, but now it had surpassed his comprehension, reaching two hundred and one!

Gu Changge didn’t feel this very clearly, only noticing that the lotus’s speed of drawing spiritual energy from the surroundings had increased by about ten percent.

But he had a rough understanding of the importance of Root Bone. @@novelbin@@

The reason why his Qi Sea was much stronger than that of regular cultivators was naturally because of his sufficiently high Root Bone.

After he did all this, Liu Qingqing also just finished her cultivation technique, her eyelashes slightly trembling as she opened her eyes.

Looking each other in the eye, Gu Changge immediately spoke first, “As husband and wife, we’re one body. I’d be unhappy if you thanked me.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing opened her mouth but made no sound.

Instead, she leaned in and lightly pecked his face.

The two then chatted idly for a long while.

Despite her reluctance to trouble her husband any further, she still, at her husband’s request, shared the current situation regarding the struggle for the title of Saintess.

“Are these two planning to directly exclude my wife?”

“…”

“However, there’s nothing to worry about, I’ll solve it for my wife.”

Gu Changge listened as his wife detailed the intentions of those two people and the current circumstances.

Immediately, he patted his chest, indicating it was a trivial matter.

However, Liu Qingqing simply rolled her eyes at him, her husband never patted himself…

“But…”

“What does husband plan to do?”

Liu Qingqing asked somewhat troubled.

“If the Gu Family disciples help in hunting Demon Beasts, the inner cores would be enough to promote you easily.”

“However, doing so might be somewhat inappropriate towards our family members.”

“But…”

“Who said we could only help hunt Demon Beasts to advance your level?”

“As long as those two cannot hunt Demon Beasts, wouldn’t that work?”

Gu Changge realized her concerns; she worried that he, having just become Young Master, would misuse his authority to have the Gu Family assist in hunting Demon Beasts, which although wouldn’t be criticized openly, might seem like he wasn’t considering the family’s interests.

But clearly, he hadn’t planned to proceed in that manner…

He had already thought of several plans before coming here.

No bloodshed necessary, guaranteed Heavenly Cold Sect wouldn’t find a single fault!

And it would also be beneficial for the clansmen of the Gu Family, all pros without a con!

“Lord Husband, don’t be impulsive… those two are also candidates for Saintess, within Duanbei City we have both Elders and Supreme Elders of the Heavenly Cold Sect.”

“It’s not worth it to kill them.”

Liu Qingqing was a bit startled, obviously misinterpreting his intention.

“All you think about is fighting and killing.”

“The Jianghu isn’t about fighting and killing, it’s about cunning…ahem, social dealings!”

“Wife, just focus on your own affairs, no need to worry about the rest.”

Seeing her misunderstanding, Gu Changge couldn’t help but knock on her head, thinking to himself that although his wife had a decent Cultivation talent, her thoughts were too simple compared to another wife.

Liu Qingqing covered her forehead and mildly yelped.

Since it wasn’t about striking down and killing, she felt relieved and asked no further.

“By the way…”

“Today, I have already arranged with two Senior Sisters to go out hunting Demon Beasts, and it’s about time now.”

Looking at her husband, she said somewhat reluctantly.

“Go ahead.”

“Just remember, no matter what happens, don’t worry.”

“Those two competitors, you can stop worrying about them too, I’ll help you.”

“But before you leave, wife, you still need to write down a list of the followers around those two.”

Gu Changge said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Liu Qingqing’s eyes widened abruptly, causing him to raise his hand, making a light tapping gesture on her head.

“I’ve said, it’s not about fighting and killing, not to mention I wouldn’t kill twelve or twenty disciples from the Heavenly Cold Sect for no reason!”

“That would be less than directly plotting against those two competitors.”

Gu Changge felt hopeless, it seemed his wife only had ‘killing’ as a solution in her mind for any problem.

“I was wrong…”

“From now on, I’ll properly learn…social dealings with Lord Husband!”

Liu Qingqing saw him raising his hand and pitifully begged for forgiveness, afterwards she left the list and was then escorted out of the Gu Family residence by her husband.

While Gu Changge was leaving the house, Quan Jun appeared to have been paying attention all along, immediately following as well.

“Call all the clansmen who are preparing to train outside the city.”

Gu Changge watched his wife leave, then turned back with a light smile and instructed Quan Jun, who had followed him.

“Yes.”

After Quan Jun left with a bow, Wang Yue then came over.

“How is it? Lord Husband, are you planning to have the Gu Family help in hunting the Demon Beasts?”

“Ah… I truly envy the place sister holds in Lord Husband’s heart.”

Wang Yue clasped her hands behind her back, speaking cheerily but then swiftly changed the subject, “If I need it, would Lord Husband do the same for me?”
