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

Chapter 94: Chapter 94: The Future Saint Heir, Human Immortal, Great Deceiver!

“Even if he ultimately did not choose the Sword Sect,”

“Your Excellency serving as his guardian, you still end up with a favor owed.”

“Once an Acquired Dao Body joins the Holy Land and becomes a Saint Heir, it would be like pushing a boat along with the current.”

“The favor of a Saint Heir, Your Excellency, should find that to be a good deal.”

“If we delve deeper, is there any precedent where an Acquired Dao Body, if not struck down prematurely, could not transcend tribulation to become a Human Immortal?”

“A future Human Immortal’s favor, do you think it’s worth it?”

Gu Haitang saw him frown and ponder, and couldn’t help but continue to coax.

Although he was still just a minor in the Qi Sea Realm, in his mouth, he had already become a Holy Son from Central State.

He even inflated the claim to the level of Human Immortal!

“…”

Old Blind Man’s mouth twitched slightly, obviously not swayed by his spiel.

This elder of the Gu family was quite the talker.

Even though what he said was true, the reality was not as easy as he made it out to be.

But it had to be said, he was still tempted.

“Sigh…”

“I’m used to being carefree, and suddenly I’m to guard a junior who is only in the Qi Sea Realm. How long will it take for him to break through to the Infinite Realm?”

“Even with his Acquired Dao Body, we’re not talking about thirty or fifty years; it would still take ten or twenty at least.”

Old Blind Man shook his head slightly and, after much consideration, was already planning to refuse the proposal.

Spending twenty years in exchange for a favor, he might not even live long enough to require it.

Talent is precious, but a dead talent is worthless.

After all, he had a chance meeting with him, and when the youth reached Central State, he could still make contact. There was always an opportunity to win him over to the Sword Sect.

“Ten or twenty years?”

“Ten years is too much…”

Gu Haitang smiled and couldn’t help but remark, “I’ve lived nearly two thousand years, seen countless talents, and was fortunate enough to witness one with the Talent of Dao Body.”

“But compared to this youngster of my family, tsk tsk…”

“There’s no need to hide anything; I’ll tell Your Excellency the truth. This boy had not yet cultivated more than a month ago.”

“What you see as the late stage of Qi Sea Realm is merely the result of his first month on the path of cultivation.”

“During this period, he has not consumed any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”

“Now Your Excellency, how long do you think it will take for him to break through to the Infinite Realm?”

After he finished, Old Blind Man laughed.

“Elder, there’s no need for that, right?”

What a joke, he wasn’t cultivating a month and a half ago, and now he’s at the late stage of Qi Sea Realm.

An Acquired Dao Body doesn’t break through at this kind of speed!

And to say that he hasn’t consumed any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, that’s just plain deception!

“Tsk… Indeed, no one would believe the speed of this kid’s breakthrough if they did not see it with their own eyes.”

“So, tell me, what would I gain by deceiving you?”

“How about this? He is about to travel to Duanbei City.”

“You can follow and observe him in secret for a while, and then decide what to do.”

“Furthermore… I would not wish for Central State to know of his situation too early.”

“Your Excellency, please do not make things difficult for me. At my advanced age, I would still have to personally make the journey to Central State…”

Gu Haitang smiled faintly, knowing that the boy’s breakthrough speed was outrageous indeed, letting him follow for a while to see for himself.

He would understand which choice to make in time.

But to ensure the boy could grow safely and steadily, it was better if Central State did not get involved too soon.

“Elder has spoken so frankly.”

“I have no reason to refuse.”

“I shall not pass on news about him back to Central State; you can rest assured, Elder.”

“After all, once the news gets out… it would do no good for my Sword Sect, and if possible, I would rather be the one to introduce him.”

Old Blind Man pondered for a while and found no reason to refuse; in fact, he became somewhat curious. Could the boy’s progress really be as fearsome as he claimed, breaking through from a mortal to the late stage of Qi Sea Realm in just over a month?

Even if Gu Haitang hadn’t suggested such a thing, he would have been inclined to follow and see for himself.

“That young man is also quite cautious.”

“If he harbors any suspicions about you, you can give him this fish hook and tell him it’s from the old man fishing in the Back Mountain.”

Gu Haitang offered a faint smile and removed the hook from the fishing rod.

After tossing it to the Old Blind Man, his figure began to slowly fade, disappearing from his view.

The Old Blind Man caught the fish hook with the black long stick in his hand, gave a slight flick, and then stored it in the Space Ring.

“I always feel like I’ve been tricked…”

“Not sure, let’s wait and see.”

Shaking his head and sighing, he felt inexplicably nearly fooled into becoming that old monster from the Gu Family’s Guardian.

But if what he said was true, and he had reached the late stage of the Qi Sea Realm in just a month, then there really wasn’t a reason to refuse the role of Guardian… @@novelbin@@

Such a rate of growth, even calling him a genius would be an understatement.

Infinite Realm, perhaps it really wouldn’t take ten years!

It was just that he still didn’t know the full picture, and even Gu Haitang didn’t tell him that more than a month ago, Gu Changge couldn’t even cultivate.

The Old Blind Man also had some doubts in his heart, why would a talent of a Taoist Body only start cultivating at this age?

Wasn’t this a huge waste of time!

In Tiannan Mansion, Gu Changge had finished a two-hour session of cultivation.

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 200]

[Comprehension: 205]

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

[Realm: Qi Sea Realm・Late Stage (23/100)]

After glancing at his status panel, he couldn’t help but sigh.

Since he left the Gu Family, a day had passed.

His progress in the realm had only increased by three percent.

This was still because the twelfth-grade lotus in his Qi Sea could constantly absorb Spiritual Energy for growth.

On the road, he and Wang Yue definitely couldn’t cultivate.

As for Liu Qingqing, since she was busy hunting Demon Beasts, her cultivation time was also significantly reduced.

“This won’t do, I need to get to Duanbei City sooner.”

“At the very least, I need to get a wife to start cultivating!”

“However, I’ve heard that there are many opportunities in No Master Land, and maybe I can make up for these lost days with some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.”

Gu Changge was clearly unsatisfied with this rate of growth of three percent per day.

But he hadn’t considered that even at this rate, it would take only about a month to break through each small realm!

Even for Liu Qingqing and Wang Yue, talents like them needed half a year to breakthrough a small realm in the Qi Sea Realm, which was a world of difference compared to him!

“Let’s go, you’re in such a hurry to suffer,” said Uncle San’s voice as it came along. Once Wang Yue finished her Circulation Technique for the day, the three of them met outside of Tiannan Mansion.

The two third-grade Spirit Steeds had been well-fed and were full of vigor.

As the Guard led the Spirit Steeds over, even knowing they had been tamed, he still took care to serve them cautiously.

After all, they were third-grade Demon Beasts, and one kick would be enough to trample them, Sky-controlling Realm cultivators, into a pulp!

“Young Master, why are you leaving so soon… Did this one do something unsatisfactory in hosting you?”

Gu Qian, who had been waiting outside the mansion, quickly approached with some anxiety.

“There’s an urgent matter I must attend to, the Steward need not worry.”

“Work hard, I have high hopes for you!” Gu Changge said with a reassuring smile, gesturing for him not to worry.

Hearing this, Gu Qian felt relieved, grateful and chokingly expressed, “As long as the Young Master is satisfied, I will make sure to prepare well for your next visit to Tiannan City.”

“Sure thing,” Gu Changge casually replied, then promptly leaped onto the Spirit Steed.

Wang Yue haughtily extended her hand but avoided eye contact with him. Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate and directly pulled her up, yet instead of having her sit behind him, he pulled her directly into his arms.

“What are you doing…” Wang Yue blurted out indignantly.

“Weren’t you complaining about how I kept leaning on you when you sat behind me?”

“Isn’t this better now?”

After saying that, Gu Changge gently kicked the Spirit Steed’s belly, taking off into the sky.

Seeing this, Gu Sanfeng reluctantly stepped onto a Spirit Steed and followed suit.

The Steward and Guards, following closely behind them all the way to the city outskirts, then respectfully bowed, “Farewell, Young Master…”

At the same time, the Old Blind Man also sensed their departure from Tiannan City and followed behind at an unhurried pace.

Although he couldn’t detect the old monster from the Gu Family who had been fishing, he presumed that he must also be following in secret…
