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

Chapter 121: Chapter 115: If the Furnace Vessel Holy Body is Fake, Didn’t I Overindulge for Nothing?

Wang Yue, however, was somewhat dubious.

The four wooden boxes on the table looked quite ordinary and not at all like they were meant to hold precious elixirs.

Instead, they seemed more like containers for common Yellow Grade elixirs.

The more valuable the elixir, the more careful one must be in its storage to prevent the loss of its potency.

If there truly were elixirs capable of creating an Acquired Spirit Body and a Pristine Dao Foundation, even calling them Spirit Rank wouldn’t be too far-fetched!

But seeing his confident expression, she still cautiously picked up a wooden box and slowly opened it.

Strangely enough, although the wooden box was very ordinary, before it was opened, there wasn’t a hint of elixir fragrance leaking out.

The moment she opened it, she could smell an aroma that was refreshing to the heart and spleen.

Upon inspecting the elixir within the box, it was smooth and glossy, with an extremely complex elixir pattern winding around it which seemed to be formed of numerous intricate inscriptions.

“This…”

“Spirit-grade elixir?”

After connecting the characteristics of the elixir, a surprised Wang Yue asked him.

“Let’s just say it’s Spirit Rank,” Gu Changge replied, knowing that the elixirs exchanged from the system weren’t actually Spirit Rank, but their effects were certainly not any less potent!

The most important aspect was that no matter how many system-exchanged elixirs one consumed, there would be no resistance buildup, and the effectiveness wouldn’t diminish with the number of times taken.

Now, however, it was much more convenient; there was no need to exchange a dozen or so at a time, forcing someone to consume them voraciously like meals…

“Just say?”

“The single elixir pattern on it suggests that it should be a first-grade Spirit Rank elixir.”

“From where did Lord Husband obtain these?”

Wang Yue inspected the elixir closely and couldn’t help but continue her inquisitive questioning.

“If I said it was a reward from the ancestor, would you believe me?” Gu Changge replied somewhat helplessly with a made-up excuse.

“I don’t believe it, but if Lord Husband says so, then it is so.”

Wang Yue shook her head, her expression somewhat solemn.

The Gu Family couldn’t possibly have such elixirs that could cultivate an Acquired Spirit Body; otherwise, by now, the Gu Family should be rife with prodigious talents of Acquired Spirit Bodies everywhere!

“Go ahead and refine it quickly.”

Seeing her response, Gu Changge could only smile slightly.

While she wasn’t as easily deceived as Qingqing, at least he could now rest assured that he could reveal some things to her.

The greatest secret, and the only one he must never reveal, was naturally the system.

Aside from that, the enhancements obtained from the system were something he didn’t mind showing, such as the triple Qi Sea and the twelve-grade lotus within the Qi Sea.

In the eyes of others, these were merely signs of his extraordinary talent and heaven-defying nature; they wouldn’t find it too hard to accept.

Revealing some of his value was naturally more beneficial than harmful, as evident from his current unshakable position in the Gu Family. Even the elders would not stand idly by if he were to encounter any mishaps.

What he didn’t know was that even the ancestor had secretly escorted him to Duanbei City…

These were all benefits that came from inadvertently revealing his worth.

Of course… these were all under the premise that the Gu Family gave him enough confidence. If during the eighteen years he had not been able to cultivate, and if he were oppressed every day, only to face family members vying against him once he could cultivate, that would be a different story…

At least the sense of security the Gu Family provided him was sufficient.

Wang Yue did not decline or proceed with false modesty; she directly took the elixir and placed it into her mouth.

The faint aroma filled her mouth and nose, and as soon as the elixir entered her mouth, it turned into a silky Spiritual Liquid that went down into her belly.

She also quickly sat cross-legged to begin refining the potency of the medicine.

As the elixir was digested, she could even clearly feel her Root Bone steadily improving!

Even her formerly fixed Qi Sea seemed to expand slightly.

The toughness of her meridians also significantly increased.

Everything related to Root Bone was improving at a tremendously fast pace.

Almost half a Two Hours passed before she fully digested the potency of the elixir.

When her eyes opened, they were filled with shock!

“This effect…”

“Isn’t it too heaven-defying?”

“Not only was the refining speed unusually fast, but the effect is also unprecedented.”

“I seem to be only one step away from the Acquired Spirit Body!”

Wang Yue could clearly sense that her body had grown more in tune with nature and her perception of Spiritual Energy and all elements of nature was clearer by a significant margin.

In contrast, when perceiving nature’s spiritual energy in the past, it was as if a hazy veil was present, but now everything was clear.

[Daoist Couple: Wang Yue (Reach Profound Realm · Perfection) has consumed: First-Grade Root Bone Pill (+14). Share?]

Gu Changge also heard the familiar system notification sound, and instinctively chose to share at once!

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone (+14): 224]

[Comprehension: 205]

Instantly, his Root Bone also experienced a synchronous increase, but he wasn’t in a hurry to sync up the shared attribute right now.

Instead, he took the wooden box containing the second-grade Root Bone Pill and handed it to his wife, who hadn’t yet recovered from her shock.

“Refine this pill as well, it’s enough for you to take another step towards creating an Acquired Spirit Body.”

His voice brought Wang Yue back to her senses. This time, as she took the wooden box, her movements were clearly more cautious, holding it with both hands as if afraid of dropping it.

Upon opening the wooden box and seeing the elixir inside, it was nearly identical to the previous one, the only difference being that one pattern had become two elixir patterns.

“Spirit-grade, second-grade elixir…”

Wang Yue knew well the preciousness of Spirit-grade elixirs; even during her time in the Imperial City, she had never encountered such an opportunity. She heard that only when her eldest brother ascended to Crown Prince did he receive a Spirit-grade elixir.

Looking at the man before her, wearing a light smile, she felt somewhat dazed for a moment.@@novelbin@@

No wonder…

No wonder Liu Qingqing said that as long as one sincerely treats her husband, there would be an opportunity for great fortune.

She had known for some time and had already taken Spirit-grade Elixirs before.

How rare and precious were such elixirs in the Northern Domain?

Perhaps only one could be obtained from the Ancestor, but with her husband, it seemed… different.

Just as she was about to consume the elixir, she suddenly stopped.

“But if I take this elixir and develop an Acquired Spirit Body, how will I explain it if the Imperial Family discovers it?”

Wang Yue asked him seriously.

It was hard to detect being one step away from an Acquired Spirit Body, but once achieved, it would be quite obvious.

“It’s quite simple.”

“Just say that your husband is an Innate Furnace Tripod Saint Body, isn’t that impressive?”

Gu Changge said nonchalantly.

“Uh…”

“Wait, wait.”

“I need to sort this out…”

She had been worried that becoming an Acquired Spirit Body would expose her husband’s elixirs, but hearing his words left her stunned.

It turned out Liu Qingqing also became an Acquired Spirit Body by taking elixirs.

There was no such thing as an Innate Furnace Tripod Saint Body after all!

Her previous guesses were wrong, and the inner consumption was even more so!

Right…

Every time her Root Bone increased, it seemed to be after eating the meals her husband made.

Did he mix the elixir into the soup?

So…

What was the point of her inner consumption at all?

Just to feel sore in the jaw?

“Lord Husband really speaks lies as easily as breathing…”

“I can’t believe I fell for it!”

Wang Yue looked at him with a resentful gaze.

“Really?”

“Am I not telling the truth?”

“If elixirs can be produced, doesn’t that make me a Furnace Vessel Holy Body? Who said that one must engage in Dual Cultivation to enhance their Root Bone?”

“Just tell me if it isn’t an enhancement to the Root Bone!”

Gu Changge replied with a faint smile, unruffled.

“That’s just sophistry!”

At first glance, his words didn’t seem problematic, but upon closer inspection, they were all questionable!

However, she didn’t hesitate any longer and took the two-patterned Root Bone Pill.

Although his excuse wasn’t very reliable, it might not be discovered; and if it came to that, there would always be time to come up with a plan.

The temptation of an Acquired Spirit Body was too much for her to resist.

Not to mention the Pristine Dao Foundation…

These two improvements were enough for her subsequent cultivation journey to be smooth sailing.

At first, she only believed less than ten percent of the rosy picture he painted; it was all a gamble.

But now, she felt that there might indeed be a chance…

There were so many secrets about Lord Husband…

Although he liked to deceive, he seemed quite reliable!

After a while, when she had fully refined the elixir and her Root Bone reached the value of one hundred, her Acquired Spirit Body was complete!

She could distinctly feel that the world seemed different in her eyes, with additional things she had never noticed before, invisible and intangible.

But the biggest change was that even if she didn’t actively cultivate, the Spiritual Energy around her was very affable, seemingly eager to be refined and absorbed by her.

With an Innate Spiritual Body, her cultivation speed could increase by at least fifty percent!

[Daoist Couple: Wang Yue (Reach Profound Realm·Perfection) consumption: Second Grade Root Bone Pill (+1) Share?]

Gu Changge mentally chose to share.

Instantly his own Root Bone attribute increased by one point.

[Root Bone（+1）:225]

Aside from these fifteen points of increase, there were another fifteen points on the Daoist Couple’s panel that could be synchronized at any time.

Soon he would be able to directly increase his Root Bone to 240!

When his Root Bone broke through one hundred, he obtained an Acquired Spirit Body; when it broke through two hundred, a Twelve Petal Lotus manifested mysteriously in his Qi Sea, and its effects were significant!

As his Root Bone approached the three hundred mark, he too couldn’t help but look forward to the surprises and unexpected gifts that it might bring.

Every increase in Root Bone brought benefits and strengthened the foundation, increasing the speed of cultivation, but what truly excited Gu Changge was the miraculous fortune that came with each crossing of the hundred-point threshold.

“So this is the feeling of an Acquired Spirit Body…”

“With this, I am no different from Liu Qingqing!”

After experiencing the changes brought about by the Acquired Spirit Body, Wang Yue’s gaze fell on the remaining two wooden boxes.

These were the elixirs that her husband said could let her forge a Pristine Dao Foundation, even more precious than the Acquired Spirit Body!

Looking at her husband, she saw him nodding with a light laugh.

She then picked up one of the wooden boxes.

The elixir looked not much different from the outside, just slightly different in color; the Comprehension Pill seemed to have a faint greenish hue.

Without much hesitation, she began to consume and refine it.

Before long, Gu Changge received a system notification.
