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

Chapter 127: Chapter 119: Sinews and Bones Like Jade, Central Province Talent!

After listening to her husband’s explanation,

Liu Qingqing also understood his good intentions; once she became a Saintess within the Sect,

there were things inconvenient for her to handle that Zhu Qin could take care of.

As for Yayun’s life, it served as her commitment to him, and having leverage over her allowed Liu Qingqing to use her with peace of mind.

The couple chatted warmly for a while.

Gu Changge glanced at his panel; his Root Bone was just sixty points shy of reaching the significant mark of three hundred.

And he had more than enough Attribute Points!

He simply whispered in his mind and exchanged for two second-grade Root Bone Pills!

[Second-grade Root Bone Pill (+15) x2, has been stored in System Space]

[Attribute Points spent: 6000.]

[Remaining Attribute Points for Host: 2900.]

Although Wang Yue was in seclusion, since he had already informed her of the existence of the Elixir,

it was only fair to treat everyone equally and not shortchange anyone.

When Gu Changge took out one of the wooden boxes containing the Root Bone Pill,

“Is this the Spirit-grade Elixir from my husband?” Liu Qingqing instantly recognized the familiar wooden box.

It was odd, the material of the wooden box storing the Spirit-grade Elixir was ordinary, yet it didn’t leak any of the Elixir’s effects—it was quite miraculous.

Even more strangely, when she tried to store other Elixirs in this wooden box, they didn’t retain their effectiveness; the effects still dissipated.

Could it be that it only worked with her husband’s Spirit-grade Elixirs?

“No need for formalities,”

“Go ahead and refine the Elixir.”

Gu Changge said with a light smile as he handed over the wooden box. Liu Qingqing took it with both hands, pursed her lips, and said nothing more.

She sat cross-legged on the bed and opened the box.

The Elixir inside was familiar, yet slightly different.

Although she had taken this kind of two-patterned Spirit-grade Elixir before, the pattern on this one seemed much more intricate.

Even the fragrance it emitted was noticeably richer.

Under her husband’s tender gaze, she didn’t hesitate and popped the Elixir into her mouth.

When the Elixir settled in her stomach, she clearly felt that its effect was several times stronger than before!

Not daring to waste any of its power, she hurriedly began circulating her Cultivation Technique to refine and absorb it.

Gu Changge simply sat quietly at a table in the room, in no rush.

“If I go to Central State when I reach the Infinite Realm…”

“It probably wouldn’t be more than three to five years at most.”

“I wonder what Realm both my wives could break through to by then.”

“At least before that, it would be best to raise both my wives’ Root Bone Comprehension to the significant mark of two hundred.”

“If so… my Root Bone Comprehension will reach a terrifying level.”

“Even in Central State… be it any Talent or Saint Heir, in front of this Young Master, they are all but younger brothers.”

Imagining a bright future, he soon heard the familiar notification sound.

[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing (Reach Profound Realm – Perfection) has taken a second-grade Root Bone Pill (+15). Share?]

After opting to share, he could feel a notable change in his body.

Upon introspection, he noticed something different about his bones—they seemed almost translucent, like white jade.

While his wife was still refining, he opened the Daoist Couple panel again.

Liu Qingqing’s Root Bone had reached 120, including 15 points that were sharable.

After syncing, his own Root Bone soared directly from 240 to 270!

He was now quite close to the three hundred mark, just waiting for Wang Yue to come out of seclusion and take the Elixir to achieve it.

His newly enhanced Root Bone made him more acutely aware of the changes in his body.

All his bones and meridians were sublimating.

His bones even faintly displayed a translucent jade-like quality.

He even felt that even without using any Spiritual Energy to protect his body, if subjected to a strike at the Reach Profound Realm, he would at most suffer minor injuries.

“Why does it feel like going on like this…”

“My body is almost becoming a Magic Treasure?”

Gu Changge muttered to himself, while at this moment, Liu Qingqing had completely digested the medicine’s power and adapted to her recent enhancements.

When she opened her eyes, she faintly felt that her husband in front of her seemed somewhat different.

He was still sitting there, but there was an indescribable feeling about him, seemingly a bit transcendent?

“Husband…”

Liu Qingqing bit her lip, facing his tender gaze, but her eyes were complex.

“What?”

“Why does my wife look at me with such eyes?” Gu Changge asked with a light laugh.

“My husband treats me so well, I really don’t know how to repay…”

Liu Qingqing’s eyes reddened slightly, her small hands nervously twisting the hem of her dress.

Earth Spirit Dew was considered a treasure for her, but her husband had no use for it.

But all this time, it was her husband who had been helping her unconditionally; what could she do to help her husband?

This feeling of helplessness deeply distressed her.

“Well…”

“Let me review and see if my wife’s skills have improved recently.”

Gu Changge merely waved his hand nonchalantly, as feeding his wife always yielded double gains for him.

There was no such thing as being at a loss.

Yet the more her husband acted this way, the deeper Liu Qingqing felt she owed him.

Her only recourse was to cultivate even harder, hoping to be of assistance to him in the future.

This was exactly what he wanted to see: his wife diligently cultivating so he could lay back even more!

“Woo…”

Hearing her husband’s words, Liu Qingqing naturally understood his intention. Her cheeks flushed pink as she rose to help him undress, but before she could act, she was pressed back down onto the bed.

[Duanbei City, Royal Family Residence]

Three extraordinary young people, two men and one woman, were chatting merrily in the great hall.

The royal powerhouse entrenched in Duanbei City, an Eight-grade force, treated them with the utmost courtesy.

“Don’t worry, isn’t it just a matter of a disciple’s slot?”

“After we return, we’ll inform our master, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

The leader among them, a young man of around thirty, had already reached the Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm!

“Then we thank you young friends very much.”

“If there is anything you need in the Northern Domain, just mention it.”

The royal in charge here was a royal relative named Wang Yi.

These talents from Central Province were direct disciples of the Immortal Ascension Sect, one of the Four Great Sacred Lands.

In order to secure a mere outer disciple’s slot for his incompetent grandson, he, being of Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm, could only curry favor.

“There is indeed one thing we need help with.”

“We’re here to track a young dragon.”

“Our master sensed its presence in the Northern Demon Beast Forest a few days ago, but had urgent matters to attend to and couldn’t come to the Northern Domain in person.”

“And so he sent us here to find it; if you could help us capture the young dragon, not to mention an Outer Sect disciple’s slot, even an Inner Sect slot wouldn’t be a problem!”

The cheerful Sixht Grade Refining Void Realm Li Huaji said.

This comment, however, put Wang Yi in a difficult position.

“This…”@@novelbin@@

“The No Master Land is vast and boundless; finding what you need within it is likely a slim chance.”

Wang Yi said with a reluctant smile.

It wasn’t that he was trying to refuse; even with his Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm, he could only penetrate tens of thousands of miles at best, let alone finding the young dragon they wanted in the Demon Beast Forest.

“Don’t worry, our master gave us a magic artifact that can detect the aura of the Dragon Clan.”

“Whenever it appears within a hundred miles, we can detect its approximate location.”

Li Huaji said, taking out a compass-shaped artifact and laying it on the table.

“With this, the chances are much higher.”

“But…I can’t guarantee that we will find it.”

Hearing about the artifact that could search within a hundred-mile range, Wang Yi finally nodded slightly.

“No matter, whether we find it or not, the outer disciple slot is yours to keep.”

“Consider it compensation for disturbing you.”

“My master also wishes to find an opportunity to communicate with the Northern Domain Royal Family.”

Li Huaji waved his hand and straightaway promised the Outer Sect disciple slot.

This time their visit wasn’t solely for the young dragon; it was mostly about luck, but most importantly, their master had sent them to connect with the Northern Domain Royal Family. He had taken a fancy to the current Crown Prince of the Northern Domain, intending to take him under his wing and assist him in becoming the next Emperor of the Northern Domain, which would bring them considerable resources and extend their reach into the Northern Domain.

“Since that’s the case, you young friends may stay here during this period.”

“I myself will go to the Demon Beast Forest to see if we encounter it.”

“If there is anything you need, you can also tell the Guard General anytime.”

Wang Yi said as he took over the compass.

The No Master Land was teeming with demon beasts; taking these three with him not only endangered them all but would also slow his own progress.

Moreover, judging by their demeanor, they didn’t seem inclined to enter the Demon Beast Forest themselves.

“Thank you for your efforts.”

“I believe this cooperation opens up many more opportunities for future contact.”

Li Huaji indeed did not refuse; compared to venturing into the No Master Land, he preferred to quietly wait for the results before reporting back to Central State.

Once the Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm had departed, they didn’t hesitate to continue sitting in the great hall, sipping tea served by the maids.

“Brother, how long before we can return?”

“This Northern Domain has scarce spiritual energy; cultivating here is truly inefficient and uncomfortable.”

Among the three, aside from the leading Li Huaji who was of Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, the remaining two were only at the Fourth Grade Reach Profound Realm, simply accompanying him to gain experience.

“What’s the hurry?”

“True, the spiritual energy here in the Northern Domain is poor, but there should still be plenty of heavenly materials and earthly treasures in that Demon Beast Forest.”

“Even if we don’t find that young dragon, there should still be some gains.”

“Enough for you, junior brother, to break through to the Ruins Realm.”

Li Huaji, seeing his anxious demeanor, couldn’t help but reprimand him.

“Exactly, the brother hasn’t said anything yet; why the rush?”

“Brother, it’s so boring here; can’t you take us around Duanbei City?”

“Didn’t our master say we might even stumble upon treasures here?”

The junior sister’s gaze towards Li Huaji was clearly besotted as she promptly sided with her senior brother in berating the other.

“Stumble upon treasures… not impossible, but it’s less likely than a spirit stone falling from the sky and hitting us.”

Li Huaji smiled reluctantly, but indeed, he had seen many cultivators gathered in various parts of the city trading treasures from outskirt gains.

A look wouldn’t hurt.

Thus, he simply took his junior brother and sister to wander around the city.
