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

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: The Ancestor Tricks Old Blind Man into Becoming a Daoist Guardian!

“You don’t have a trace of vigilance, and yet you call others foolish!”

Wang Yue’s eyes darted about, and she immediately retorted.

Hearing this, Gu Qian also reacted, feeling somewhat frightened.

If that were really the case, and the Young Master met with trouble right under his watch, he’d have to pay with his life!

But Gu Changge merely gave a faint smile, turned around, and pointed at his waist.

The waist card of the Young Master of the Gu Family, which he had hidden in his clothes while strolling, was somehow now in plain sight.

Clearly, it was intentional.

“In the territory of my Gu Family, I really don’t believe any expert would dare lay a hand on me.”

Gu Changge said with utmost confidence, and then he strode away nonchalantly.

There were risks, but as he said, if a Young Master of the Gu Family had to be afraid within his own family’s territory, then it wasn’t his problem, but the Gu Family’s problem indeed.

“It seems… that’s the logic.”

Wang Yue silently followed behind, and despite being somewhat reluctant to admit it, she couldn’t help but be amazed at how shrewd he was.

He might seem to play the fool occasionally, but when it came to the details, his insight was exceptional.

When they returned to Tiannan Mansion, and knowing that his third uncle had not yet shown up, he simply had Gu Qian arrange a room for him.

Once inside the room, Gu Changge sat down cross-legged without a word and began his cultivation.

This left Wang Yue, who had followed him into the room, utterly astonished.

“Am I not more interesting than cultivation!?”

After the trouble of travelling together for an entire day and sharing a room, he chose not to do what he should but to cultivate instead!

After rolling her eyes at him, Wang Yue, having nothing else to do, also entered the state of cultivation nearby.

…

Elsewhere, the Old Blind Man hadn’t left Tiannan City but had merely gone to a deserted place.

After finishing the pastry in his hand, he brushed the crumbs off his hands.

“Interesting little fellow…”

The Old Blind Man chuckled to himself; the kid was quite deep-thinking.

But he truly had no ill intentions.

The Acquired Dao Body—if there was a chance, while the boy had not yet grown up and been discovered by the Holy Lands of Central State.

If he could win him over, it would be a great achievement for himself!

Originally, he had left Central State in search of the White Dragon, attempting to subdue it as his mount.

The emergence of the Acquired Dao Body was an unexpected gain, far more significant than a mere mount!

Being from the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, he no longer partook in the mortal world’s food and drink, but eating that youngster’s pastry had stirred a sense of nostalgia in him.

Just as he intended to find a quiet place to sit and wait for another opportunity to observe the boy and make contact.

He found himself at a riverbank without realizing it.

The evening breeze was cool, making it a pleasant place to sit alone for the night.

With this thought, the Old Blind Man suddenly paused his steps.

He sharply turned his head and looked toward the riverside with his cloudy, whitened eyes, where a thin, tall old man wearing a bamboo hat was fishing.

Instinctively, he pushed the black staff in his hand upwards with his thumb, revealing a glint of sharpness.

What seemed to be a simple black stick was, in fact, a sword!

“A Great Power above the Ninth Grade…”

But after realizing this, the Old Blind Man’s expression stiffened, no need to guess—this was someone waiting for him!

Otherwise, such a formidable old creature would not appear in Tiannan City!

Even in Central State, he would be considered a Great Power!

To encounter someone above the Ninth Grade in the Northern Domain, only the Heavenly Cold Sect, the Gu Family, and the Northern Domain Royal Family, three powerhouses rooted for tens of thousands of years, would have such old monsters.

Instantly, he understood the identity of the person before him.

And it slightly relieved him, as he had no ill intentions toward that young member of the Gu Family.

He simply walked up and stood behind the elderly fisherman, not in a hurry to speak, as if he was just there to watch him fish.

A moment later, a fish took the bait.

Gu Haitang casually threw the fish back into the river and then spoke, “From the Central State Sword Sect?”

“Senior has good eyesight,” the Old Blind Man replied with a faint smile.

“Have you taken an interest in someone from my family?” Gu Haitang asked without turning his head.

“It was a fortunate coincidence I came to the Northern Domain…”

“Senior also knows how precious an Acquired Dao Body is.”

“Staying in the Northern Domain would waste his talent.” @@novelbin@@

The Old Blind Man was quite frank.

“His realm is too low, wait until he breaks through to the Infinite Realm before you entertain any notions,” Gu Haitang said slowly.

His Gu Family, including himself, had only a dozen or so people with Acquired Spirit Bodies over the years.

Now that they had someone with an Acquired Dao Body, he didn’t want them to suffer the slightest mishap.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left Gu Family’s Back Mountain, planning to personally escort him to Duanbei City, and not until he had communicated with the old figures of Duanbei City could he be at ease.

“My Sword Sect can protect him,” the Old Blind Man said with great confidence.

“Truly protect him?”

“How many Saint Heirs have died in the many sacred lands of Central State?”

“Two Saint Heirs from your Sword Sect have died in the past thousand years, haven’t they?”

Gu Haitang scoffed, knowing well that although cultivators must strive and clash with others to progress far on their path, where death and injury are inevitable, one should still seek stability whenever possible!

Hearing his words, the Old Blind Man was left speechless.

The Sword Sect was indeed one of the Four Great Sacred Lands of Central State, but was it without any danger?

An Acquired Dao Body, no matter which Sacred Land they joined, would be treated as a Saint Heir!

In the younger generation throughout Central State, one could hardly find a handful of Acquired Dao Bodies!

The Sword Sect wanted him, other Sacred Lands wanted him too, and if he chose one, he would become a thorn in the side for the other three!

“Sooner or later, he still has to head to Central State,” said the Old Blind Man resignedly.

He wasn’t originally from Central State but was a Great Power from the Eastern Domain. It was only after his breakthrough to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm that he joined the Sword Sect.

The so-called Central State, a confluence of the Four Domains’ spiritual energy, held countless more opportunities for fortune than any of the Four Domains.

For a long time, as nature’s spiritual energy gradually diminished, Central State became a cultivation Holy Land created by the joint efforts of many Great Powers, with the Four Domains’ spiritual energy being just enough to grow a cultivator to the Ninth Grade before progression became difficult!

In Central State, which harnessed the spiritual energy of the Four Domains, they could take a step further, with the chance to become immortal.

While this wasn’t exactly fair to the Four Domains, there was little to be done about it—if they hadn’t created Central State to draw from the Four Domains’ spiritual energy, the prospect of transcending tribulation to immortality may have remained just an empty dream.

“You must be aware of the pull an Acquired Dao Body has on a Sacred Land.”

“If you can find an Acquired Dao Body to join a Sacred Land, the merit is not insignificant, and should be enough for you to ascend further, right?”

Gu Haitang did not reply to his words; instead, he said,

“What do you mean, Senior?”

While what he said was indeed true, the Old Blind Man did not argue but instead asked back.

“If you are willing to serve as his Guardian until he needs to go to Central State, I could put in a good word for your Sword Sect.”

“While I can’t guarantee he will definitely choose to join your Sword Sect, you would still have a significant advantage, wouldn’t you?”

Gu Haitang said, revealing a slight smile. Upon learning that the Old Blind Man was from the Sword Sect, he had already begun to harbor this idea.

He couldn’t be by the boy’s side to protect him every day. This time leaving Gu Family’s Back Mountain, he hadn’t let anyone know, including Gu Changge.

If he could deceive the boy into having a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Daoist Guardian, then he could be more at ease.

At least in the Northern Domain, a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm was more than enough to ensure the boy’s protection.

Hearing his words, the Old Blind Man fell into contemplation.

Considering whether it was worth it for him—a Great Power of the Annihilation Realm—to serve as a Guardian…
