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

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Break Through Two Realms, Late Stage of Qi Sea Realm! (Seeking First Subscription!)

“For this matter, what are your thoughts?”

The Heavenly Cold Sect Elder finally relaxed when Gu Kuang left, his expression softened as he turned to Liu Qingqing and asked.

“Let the Elder intervene.”

“If clues are found, I believe the Sect will handle it properly.”

Liu Qingqing shook her head slightly, knowing that this account couldn’t be settled for now.

However, this incident had taught her a lesson: one may not harbor intentions to harm others, but one must always guard against potential harm!

She had thought it was just a competition among fellow disciples, yet she hadn’t anticipated that her opponent had already plotted to eliminate her!

“Don’t worry, such an incident will not happen again.”

“The Sect will surely give you justice.”

In front of many Heavenly Cold Sect disciples, three Elders also spoke seriously.

As for the Prince’s death, since they were at fault first, they could only let it go and naturally couldn’t make trouble for the Gu Family.

Even with the signboard being chopped down, they now also had no reason to demand an explanation from the Gu Family.

“I’ll go back to heal my injuries,” Liu Qingqing said, no longer saying anything further, but immediately went back to the residence arranged for her in Duanbei City under the numerous watchful eyes.

“What a pity.”

Only after dispersing the many onlookers did the Sixth Elder shake his head and inwardly sigh with regret.

If it hadn’t been for that rash man Gu Kuang directly crushing the Prince, they might have been able to investigate and find the real culprit behind the scenes and, by doing so, help Liu Qingqing eliminate a competitor.

However, today wasn’t entirely useless.

The Gu Family’s forceful backing for Liu Qingqing had made their stance clear to the Heavenly Cold Sect, and the importance they attached to her.

This could also become her backing and support within the Heavenly Cold Sect.

He had been negligent as well, and it seemed that in the days to come, he needed to be more attentive to ensure that Liu Qingqing wouldn’t be subjected to underhanded tactics during her contest for the Saintess position.

In another residence of the designated area, a figure relaxed only after the people from the Gu Family had left.

“It’s really unexpected that she managed to escape this calamity.”

“And it’s fortunate that the Prince left no survivors.”

“Otherwise, the Sect might not have withstood the pressure and handed me over to the Gu Family.”

“This failure means there cannot be another opportunity…”

It was only thanks to there being three competitors—if there had been only two, she might not have been able to clear herself of suspicion.

As for the Sect’s upcoming investigation, she wasn’t worried.

Not to mention, it was just her guidance and hints, with the Prince acting on his own initiative.

As long as she could stand out in the competition and become the Saintess, no one would care about this matter anymore.

Who would investigate the successful person because of a failure?

[Gu Family]

Due to Liu Qingqing’s slaying of the Demon Beast which brought an unexpected gain of over a hundred Attribute Points, Gu Changge’s mood was also quite good.

‘Humming—’

The Communication Jade Token vibrated slightly and emitted a faint glow.

“Could it be that my wife wants to boast to me about slaying a Demon Beast today?”

Gu Changge slightly curled his lips, guessing as he checked the message on the Jade Talisman.

It wasn’t from Liu Qingqing, but from the old man.

[Duanbei City here has no risk of an uprising, ready for your arrival at any time.]

[Additionally… The girl from the Liu Family has nearly lost her life in an assassination attempt just outside of Duanbei City today, the old man happened to save her.]

“…”

Reading the first sentence, he didn’t react much, but as he read on, Gu Changge also frowned.

Shouldn’t there have been an Elder accompanying them during the Heavenly Cold Sect’s trial? How could an assassination attempt still occur?

And it was even a close brush with death; had it not been for the old man’s timely presence, what then!?

Immediately, he couldn’t help sending a message to Liu Qingqing: [Wife, is there any trouble in Duanbei City for you?] @@novelbin@@

Soon, a reply was received.

“All is well. No need for husband to worry.”

“This fool…”

Gu Changge, upon seeing the reply, helplessly held his forehead.

With his understanding of Liu Qingqing, he instantly knew after reading the reply that she had no intention of pursuing the matter too much.

She was still single-mindedly focused on vying for that so-called Saintess position.

He wanted to send another message to say something else, but then thought she surely wouldn’t accept it, so he simply sent a brief message to the elder:

“Changge will set out for Duanbei City in a few days.”

Others were bullying her, and yet she didn’t take it seriously. Even if she could ignore it, as a man, how could he not care?

“Ah…”

“I don’t know whether to call my wife kind-hearted or naïve. To call her a Saintess doesn’t quite fit either…”

“Well, never mind. As long as my wife concentrates on her cultivation, I don’t mind handling some troubles.”

Since the other party had already made their move, there was nothing more to say.

Once he arrived at Duanbei City…

He, a dignified Young Master of the Gu Family, couldn’t handle those two?

Thinking this way, a prompt suddenly sounded.

“[Your Daoist Couple Wang Yue has refined the Ten-thousand-year-old Zhu Fruit. Do you wish to share the benefits?]”

“[Your Daoist Couple Wang Yue has broken through to the Perfection of the Reach Profound Realm. Rewarding a fourth-grade Sudden Enlightenment Pill (Reach Profound) one, already issued to the System Space.]”

“It seems there’s no need to wait any longer…”

He was only stupefied for a moment before he chose to share the benefits!

Sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion, he didn’t wait to start his Cultivation Technique, and the twelve-grade lotus in his Qi Sea began to spin wildly.

Tremendous Spiritual Energy split into three from the lotus, falling into each of the Qi Seas.

His Realm was rising at an incredibly terrifying speed!

In just a moment, he had already broken through to the Mid-Stage of the Qi Sea Realm!

Yet, the Spiritual Energy kept flowing ceaselessly.

Late-Stage of the Qi Sea Realm came as naturally as water flowing along its course!

After 30 minutes, that tremendous Spiritual Energy was finally fully integrated into himself, and the lotus in the Qi Sea returned to calm, slowly rotating while radiating an odd Tao Rhythm.

In just this short period, he could feel his Qi Sea had expanded more than tenfold!

“[Host: Gu Changge]”

“[Root Bone: 200]”

“[Comprehension: 205]”

“[Realm: Qi Sea Realm · Late-Stage (20/100)]”

“The Spiritual Energy required for three Qi Seas is indeed a bit much.”

“Otherwise, I might have already broken through to the Perfection of the Qi Sea Realm.”

Feeling the strength changes brought about by his Realm advancement, he did not regret the decision to create three Qi Seas.

Even though he was only in the Late-Stage of the Qi Sea Realm, he had a sense that even if he encountered someone in the Early-Stage of the Reach Profound Realm, he could still suppress them!

Moreover, his Divine Skills were already above the standard expected of his Realm; they consumed a massive amount of Spiritual Energy, so having three Qi Seas could make up for this shortfall.

Not to mention laying the foundation in the Qi Sea Realm would benefit him greatly in every subsequent Realm.

Many cultivators, after reaching the Perfection of the Qi Sea Realm, would only choose to break through to the Reach Profound Realm once they couldn’t enhance their Qi Sea any further.

However, his foundation was incomparable to others, let alone having a full two hundred Root Bone; even with a single Qi Sea, he was far beyond ordinary people!

…

At this moment, Wang Yue had just adjusted her breathing, walked out of the side room with a proud face, ready to show off her successful breakthrough to the Perfection of the Reach Profound Realm, no longer falling behind Liu Qingqing.

But sensing the Late-Stage Qi Sea Realm aura emanating from Gu Changge, she became silent.

“This princess… didn’t I seclude myself for too long?”

“If I’m not mistaken, I was in seclusion for seven days, not seven months, right?”
