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

Chapter 131: Chapter 123: Root Bone 300, Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus Materializes!

To avoid further interrogation by Qingqing, Gu Changge’s expression suddenly changed.

His face showed a sudden realization.

He then resolutely chanted “share elixir effect” in his mind!

Instantly, the same verdant Tao Rhythm that Wang Yue experienced during her Sudden Enlightenment appeared around him.

“What is this?” Liu Qingqing stared at her husband in astonishment.

“I am sensing something…”

Gu Changge left only four words behind, then sat cross-legged on the ground, entering that mystical state.

His Divine Soul seemed to roam the vast universe.

Laws of the world laid bare before him as if within reach.

“This… is this Sudden Enlightenment?”

Liu Qingqing covered her mouth, daring not to make a sound for fear of disturbing her husband.

The Little Princess relied on the Sudden Enlightenment Pill, but what about her husband?

She didn’t feel any alignment of heaven and earth or harmony of people!

Just like that, he sat down stiffly and began his Sudden Enlightenment?

In the end, she could only attribute everything to her husband’s extraordinarily defiant talent and silently guarded him.

An hour later, the green Tao Rhythm surrounding Gu Changge dissipated.

He slowly woke from his state of Sudden Enlightenment.

Upon waking, he showed no joy, but instead, he shook his head and sighed with some regret.

“Why did your enlightenment appear this way?” Liu Qingqing asked as he woke, finally taking a breath of relief but filled with confusion.

“So close, just a little bit.”

“Let it be, next time I should be able to reach it.”

Gu Changge took a deep breath. This time during his enlightenment, he chose not to comprehend divine skills but to try creating his own!

His ideas and goals were very clear!

If divine skills could be understood through sharing, then, following the method of the secret technique gifted by the ancestor, he should create a truly unique divine skill.

A skill that could integrate all his comprehended divine skills and pick their qualities, discarding the dross—a heavenly method.

Even merging several divine skills together wasn’t out of the question.

But in the hour of enlightenment, he felt he just grazed upon something, his thoughts gradually becoming clear, but then the effects of the elixir ended.

Although somewhat regretful, he wasn’t in a hurry.

From the current situation, when the wives made their breakthrough again, likely, they would be rewarded with Sudden Enlightenment Pills, and then he could continue trying.

With this idea, after he digested it a bit more, he would be able to create the divine skill most suited to him!

Otherwise, every time sharing his wives’ divine skills, not to mention the potential troubles it might cause, just imagine if there were more wives later, how chaotic would his divine skills be?

Fortunately, it wasn’t for nothing, aside from his realizations.

The system’s notification sound also rang out.

[Daoist Couple: Wang Yue (Reach Profound Realm·Perfection), Divine Skill: Emperor Seal (Heaven Rank·Lower Grade) has reached Small Success.]

[Would you like to share the results?]

Without hesitation, he chose to share.

Instantly, a flood of comprehensions entered his mind, and he managed to reach a Small Success level of mastery in his only Heaven-level divine skill.

Moments later, Wang Yue was still sitting in the seclusion room, even though the Tao Rhythm had dispersed, she did not open her eyes.

Gu Changge was in no rush either, silently watching her with Qingqing at the doorway.

“…” Wang Yue could clearly feel their gaze and knew she couldn’t pretend anymore.

She had to open her eyes, then, with a shocked face, said to them outside the doorway, “Lord Husband’s elixir is indeed incredibly mystical, I really seemed to have entered a state of Sudden Enlightenment just now.”

“That…”);

“I sensed something just now, I need to digest it a bit more.”

“If Lord Husband doesn’t have anything else, I’ll return to my seclusion.”

Saying this, she was about to close the massive door of her seclusion room.

But Gu Changge directly blocked her with his hand.

His face bore a mischievous smile, “Wife seems to have forgotten something?”

“Ah?”

“What ah?”

“Oh right, Lord Husband also gave a pill to enhance the Root Bone, I haven’t yet started refining it.”

“I am going to seclude myself to refine the elixir now…”

Wang Yue’s eyes darted around as she reached for another wooden box to take the elixir inside.

“If you’re going to be cheeky, then next time you won’t have your share of the elixir.”

Gu Changge’s unhurried voice came through,

instantly causing her hand to freeze midway.

Her lips pouted, and she looked up at him with pleading eyes, “My Lord…”

“A bet is a bet.” Gu Changge interrupted directly. “For the next half month, what should you call yourself?”

“I…”

Wang Yue’s face turned red, and she struggled for a long time but couldn’t bring herself to utter those two words.

Seeing Lord Husband sigh as if he was about to leave,

in a surge of shame, she finally managed to say, “Master…”

“That’s right, I knew my Wife wouldn’t go back on her word.”

“But I didn’t hear it clearly just now, say it again?”

Gu Changge paused and turned around with a satisfied expression.

“Master…” Wang Yue uttered the two words, burying her entire head down, fortunate that her face was much larger than Liu Qingqing’s, so she could actually hide it!

“I want to continue secluding myself to refine the elixir given by… Master.”

Gu Changge no longer teased her, and with a wave of his hand, he allowed, “Granted.”

As soon as his words fell, the seclusion room’s door ‘thudded’ shut.

Inside, Wang Yue took a long time to calm down from the embarrassment in her heart.

If it had been just the two of them, it would have been bearable, but Liu Qingqing was also there.

She felt extremely humiliated.

It took a very long time for her to calm down and she resolved not to leave the seclusion room for half a month.

Only then did she take out the Root Bone Pill that could enhance her root bone, adjusted her breathing, and prepared to refine it.

Outside the seclusion room, Liu Qingqing asked curiously, “Husband, do you really intend to let her shout for half a month?”

“Ah, I just said it in passing.”

“But I think she’s not planning to leave the seclusion room for half a month.”

“Let her be.”

“It’s a good opportunity to spend more time with my wife, isn’t it?”

Gu Changge shook his head and chuckled. He really didn’t care about such things; he just wanted to tease her a bit.

The two exchanged a smile, not dwelling too much on the matter.

Liu Qingqing planned to return to the Heavenly Cold Sect headquarters to deliver the gains from her recent trip to the Sixth Elder and to check out the current situation there.

He did not comment much, just saw her off from the headquarters.

Once he was back in his own side palace, a prompt sound suddenly rang beside his ear.

[Daoist Couple: Wang Yue (Reach Profound Realm・Perfection), taking Second Grade Root Bone Pill (+15), share?]

He had been waiting for this prompt for a long time…

It had finally arrived.

Back in his room, he sat cross-legged on the bed.@@novelbin@@

When he looked inward at his own body, he silently chose to share.

Under his internal gaze, his muscles and bones began to rapidly improve; his bones were already nearly like jade in appearance, but far harder than any jade stone!

Although the size of his Qi Sea was fixed, as his root bone also improved, the sturdiness of his Qi Sea was constantly augmenting, and even the Twelfth Grade Lotus faintly radiated a golden light.

When the effect ceased, his Root Bone reached 285; he needed only to synchronize the panel to reach the last fifteen points!

“Synchronize Daoist Couple Root Bone Panel.”

At that moment, his root bone directly hit the three hundred mark!

His bones and muscles seemed to have reached an ultimate condition, crystal clear yet incredibly tough.

Under his internal view, the Twelfth Grade Lotus suddenly contracted.

In an instant, it emitted a golden glow and bloomed once more.

From an ordinary lotus, it had taken on a light shade of gold.

At that moment, he felt something stir within him.

In surprise, he moved his palm, and with a thought,

a lotus identical to the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus inside his Qi Sea appeared in his hand!

“Materialization…”

Gu Changge gently tossed it, and the golden lotus hovered above his head, slowly rotating and dropping golden specks, forming a protective barrier.

With another thought, that barrier directly attached itself to his skin, merging with it, looking like a light golden sculpted body.

He could feel the strength of this barrier; even a cultivator at the Perfection Stage of the Reach Profound Realm couldn’t break it slightly!

As for cultivators from the higher Realm of Ruins, unless they could deplete his spiritual energy, they too would be unable to penetrate this defense.

“Oh my…”

“Is this considered a Lifebound Magical Treasure?”

“But that’s not right… A Lifebound Magical Treasure should be refined first then cultivated and nurtured in the Qi Sea.”

After a moment of study, Gu Changge waved his hand and dispersed the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus; maintaining it didn’t consume much spiritual energy, but defending against attacks would directly draw from the spiritual energy in his Qi Sea.

Having another life-saving technique wasn’t bad!

And after his root bone reached a value of three hundred, he felt that the strength of his entire skeletal structure was comparable at least to a Dark Grade Magical Treasure!

Even without relying on any spiritual energy, a Qi Sea Realm cultivator, without any magical treasures, would find it hard to break his defense.

“Tsk…”

“The means of defense are indeed increasing, but well, surviving is what matters most.”

“However, during the breakthrough to a root bone of three hundred, the moment when the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus contracted, it seemed as if it was nurturing something inside, perhaps it was just an illusion.”

…

Ten days had passed in the blink of an eye.

After spending a few days with her husband, Liu Qingqing once again left the city to train.

Though the overall situation was already stable, asking only her fellow senior brothers and sisters to help hunt for inner cores made her feel uneasy; she should at least exert some effort herself.

The Finger Bone they had discovered while strolling through the market with Qingqing, he simply treated as a gift for Qingqing, asking her to seek the Elder’s help to extract the beast marrow and refine it.

“Check the panel.”

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 300]

[Comprehension: 235]

[Cultivation Techniques: Emperor Dragon Control Secret, Spirit Moon Technique, Mystic Sky Technique.]

[Realm: Reach Profound Realm・Early Stage (20/100)]

[Divine Skills: Emperor Seal (Heaven), Soaring Dragon Transformation (Earth), Dragon Roar Sword Technique (Earth), Heavenly Cold Finger (Earth), Shadow Concealing Step (Earth), Lingfeng Nine Swords (Dark).]

[Attribute Points: 4800]

After advancing to the Reach Profound Realm, the progress brought by his wife’s cultivation had slowed down a bit.

In ten days, with his own cultivation, he had only managed to increase his progress to 20%.

However, at this rate, if it weren’t for Qingqing needing to leave the city for training, it would take just about forty days to break through a Small Realm.

Speaking of which, it wasn’t much different from the speed of breakthroughs during the Qi Sea Realm.

It was naturally also due to the effects brought about by the enhancement of his root bone!

“Before Qingqing returns to the sect, I’ll have to convert all the attribute points into Comprehension Pills and boost that a bit more.”

“Also not sure when Qingqing will be back this time. Well, might as well go to the city gate for a stroll.”

Gu Changge glanced at the tightly closed seclusion room, and casually strolled out of the headquarters.

Meanwhile, outside the North City Gate of Duanbei City, not far off, a small figure draped in a cloak was unrecognizable.

“That must be the Human Clan city…”

“But there are too many strong humans here, better to bypass it.”

“As long as I can blend into the Northern Domain where the human clan lives, I’ll be safe.”
