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

After checking the panel, he silently recited the command to exchange for elixirs!

[Exchange: Second-grade Root Bone Pill (+25), one piece; Second-grade Comprehension Pill (+50), one piece. Elixirs have been issued to System Space.]

[Total Attribute Points consumed: 15,000]

[Remaining Attribute Points for the host: 10,500]

With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of Attribute Points were spent.

The Ancestor had no clue about when he would return, but he still left 10,000 Attribute Points as reserves.

Soon enough, he believed, the Ancestor would bring him a delightful surprise.

With the Ancestor's strength, a trip to Duanbei City would surely net him a pair of Demon Beasts from the Infinite Realm to kill, right?

One beast was worth 100,000 Attribute Points, and later, he could use part of them to exchange for elixirs for the Ancestor with the remainder at his disposal to use as he pleased.

Impossible to spend it all, absolutely impossible!

Before he could indulge in the joy of his imminent, endless harvest of Attribute Points, he took out two wooden boxes with a flip of his hand.

"Refining these two pills will greatly enhance my wife's Root Bone and Comprehension."

"It will make cultivation twice as effective."

Gu Changge, smiling lightly, placed the two wooden boxes directly on the bed.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yue's eyes finally lit up.

"Then thank you very much, my dear husband!"

"Tehe..."

Goodness, this swift change of face, even Gu Changge was taken aback for a moment.

Instinctively he retorted with a mischievous question: "And how will you thank me?"

Hearing his words, Wang Yue lightly licked her lips, and her fair fingers began reaching towards Gu Changge.

He immediately understood how his wife intended to thank him.

...

Half a day later.

Gu Changge sat alone under the pavilion in the courtyard, savoring the special tea provided by the Gu Family for their Young Master.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh: "Life is good."

It wasn't the tea that was good, it was his Daoist Couple!

Now, Wang Yue was also refining the elixirs, and Yuan Youbai was on the verge of a breakthrough in the Void Refinement Realm.

Qingqing, at the Heavenly Cold Sect, was clearly not slacking off either; once she fully digested the inheritance, she would also take the elixirs he had provided her.

Judging by the days, it should be about time.

Right as he was thinking this, System prompts already rang in his mind.

[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing (Ruins Realm, Mid-Stage), refined Second-grade Root Bone Pill (+50), share benefits immediately?]

[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing (Ruins Realm, Mid-Stage), refined Second-grade Comprehension Pill (+35), share benefits immediately?]

Two successive prompts emerged, lighting up Gu Changge's eyes.

It seemed that his wife had already digested her inheritance, or perhaps had concurrently refined the two pills.

However, he chose to share immediately.

These were the elixirs that had cost him over 10,000 Attribute Points to exchange for, and they couldn't go to waste.

As he silently chose to share, in just a moment, both his body and Divine Soul began to improve at a rapid pace, growing stronger and stronger!

The originally jade-like translucent bones in his body now emitted a faint golden glow.

It was as if he were forging a Golden Body, although the golden light was still too faint at the moment.

Even so, he felt that with his current state, if he were to take a blow from a cultivator of the same Realm in the Ruins Realm with just his body, at worst, he would suffer a superficial injury. He had truly achieved a significant level of Body Refinement!

The little Golden Man atop the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus became more solidified and almost never dissipated.

It even began to move, sitting cross-legged on the Golden Lotus as if in a state of cultivation.

Upon closer inspection, one could faintly discern the facial features that were about to emerge, ethereal and elusive, yet bearing a striking resemblance to Gu Changge.

Within the Sea of Consciousness Space, the golden Tao Bell was inscribed with inscriptions that radiated brilliant golden light.

As a bell sound, as though descending from the heavens, rang out, his Sea of Consciousness Space suddenly expanded nearly twice as much, and his Divine Soul Power was greatly strengthened!

If he were to release his Divine Sense at this moment, he could even envelop an area nearly a hundred miles in radius.

Ordinary cultivators of the Heavenly Gate Realm could probably only cover a similar scope with their Divine Sense!

Just as everything slowly returned to calm, Gu Changge was about to habitually glance at the panel, but discovered that during his earlier absorption of these enhancements, there were two notification sounds he had not noticed!

[Daoist Couple: Wang Yue (Ruins Realm·Early Stage), Refining a second-grade Root Bone Pill (+25) and a second-grade Comprehension Pill (+50), share effects immediately?]

"They even came together..."

"My wife is quite quick in her actions."

Gu Changge simply kept his eyes closed and mentally chose to share once again.

The previously slowing pace of advancement suddenly surged anew, as if fresh fuel had been added to the fire!

A familiar sensation spread throughout his body and Sea of Consciousness.

After a while...

When he slowly opened his eyes, they shone with divine light.

But that divine light soon retracted and became subdued.

Just sitting there cross-legged, he seemed like a true Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, enveloped in lingering Spiritual Energy, with a faint manifestation of Tao Rhythm.

With every gesture, it was as if accompanied by faint echoes of the Tao.

Fortunately, this wondrous anomaly quickly receded as he opened his eyes; otherwise, he might not even dare leave the Gu Family for fear of drawing unwanted attention...

"Check the panel."

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 490]

[Comprehension: 442]

[Cultivation Technique: Emperor Dragon Control Secret, Heavenly Cold Technique, Mystic Sky Technique.]

[Realm: Ruins Realm·Mid-Stage (3/100)]

[Divine Skills: Omitted...]

[Talent: Transcendence (Tao Bell), Protection (Golden Lotus), Hidden Breath, Dragon Flame]

[Attribute Points: 10440]

In just the brief moment before, his Root Bone and Comprehension had both increased by almost a hundred points!

His Root Bone was now within striking distance of the five hundred milestone!

"I hadn't expected Qingqing to refine the Elixirs so quickly, otherwise I would have exchanged ten more points of Root Bone for Yue'er just now."

"But it doesn't matter. Let's see who leaves seclusion first; I'll exchange another Root Bone Pill for them then."

Looking at his own panel, Gu Changge felt quite satisfied.

The only miscalculation was not expecting his wife to finish refining those Elixirs so swiftly.

But now, with his Root Bone at four hundred ninety, the Twelfth Grade Golden Lotus inside him had undergone significant changes.

Especially the Little Golden Man sitting atop it, which now shared a ninety-nine percent similarity with his own features.

Although he still couldn't utilize the Innate Divine Ability it would bring, Gu Changge found that it was actually cultivating on his behalf!

Upon internal visualization, he could see the miniature version of the Little Golden Man circulating the Cultivation Techniques he knew, constantly cultivating on his behalf—a process much faster than the Golden Lotus naturally drawing from the heavens and earth!

It even completely matched his own active cultivation pace!

If he were to cultivate on top of that, wouldn't that mean double the speed?

Yet, what concerned him more was the Innate Divine Ability that would come after reaching five hundred in Root Bone—that was the most important!

More useful than the speed of cultivation!
