Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 111 - 109: Qi Sea Realm Perfection! Attribute Points Soar!

Chapter 111: Chapter 109: Qi Sea Realm Perfection! Attribute Points Soar!

Having a plan, the two of them, feeling the pressing situation, dared not delay.

Each returned to their own residence, carefully dressed up, and then met again before heading to the Gu Family compound.

“Whom are you looking for?”

At the gate, a Gu Family disciple, who did not recognize them, saw two women of fine stature and appearance from the Ruins Realm and naturally approached them warmly with a cupped fist greeting.

“We are here to see Young Master Gu, we have important matters to report.”

“Please, Brother, pass on the message.”

Zhu Qin bowed slightly, her face wearing a gentle smile as she spoke softly.

“This…”

“My Young Master has gone to the Demon Beast Forest in No Master Land a few days ago and is not in the Gu Hall.”

“Perhaps you could leave your names, and when the Young Master returns, I can notify him.”

Hearing that it was for the Young Master, the man spoke with some difficulty.

“I see, then we won’t trouble you, Brother.”

“We will come again in a few days.”

Upon learning that the other party wasn’t in Duanbei City, Zhu Qin could only give up; however, considering it was his first expedition out of the city, she figured he wouldn’t be delayed for too long and thus did not dwell on it too much.

Hearing her say this, the Gu Family disciple also cupped his fists and then went on with his business.

Just as the two were about to leave, they suddenly felt a gaze upon them.

Looking in the direction they felt the gaze from, they saw a disheveled figure kneeling in a corner next to the gate of the Gu Family compound.

“Junior Brother Liu?”

Zhu Qin was startled, then quickly walked over, intending to help him up.

However, her approach was hastily stopped by Liu Xin: “Sisters, no need to bother about me…”

At this point, Yayun also came over; she had heard that Junior Brother Liu, because of his impudent words, had his legs broken and was made to kneel at the gate of the Gu Family compound.

But that had been several days ago.

“Wasn’t Young Master Gu only supposed to punish Junior Brother for one day?”

“It’s been several days now; why hasn’t Junior Brother left?”

“Could it be that someone from the Gu Family is intentionally making things difficult and threatening?”

Yayun frowned and asked, if that was the case, they might be able to use this to make a fuss, have the elders intervene, and stir the waters in the process.

“It’s not at the request of the Gu Family…”

“It’s me who doesn’t want to leave.”

Liu Xin shook his head, and his words only confused them more.

Has this man lost his mind from kneeling? He was asked to kneel for one day as a light punishment, and here he insists on staying and not leaving?

“If you Sisters are looking for Young Master Gu, I can wait for his return and pass on a message.”

“He has not spoken…”

“I really am not at ease to leave.”

Liu Xin lowered his gaze, devoid of any pride he felt originally as a disciple of the Heavenly Cold Sect.

From a conversation with Gu Changge, he had come to a profound understanding that being a disciple of the Heavenly Cold Sect did not mean he could act recklessly.

If he truly offended someone formidable, he was nothing!

He could choose to hide within the Heavenly Cold Sect, but what about his family?

Over the last few days, he had thought a lot; even if the Gu Family didn’t target his family directly, their reputation in the Northern Domain was enough.

There would always be other forces who, upon learning he had offended Young Master Gu and wishing to ingratiate themselves with the Gu Family, would target his family as a gesture of loyalty!

Having understood this, he decided not to leave.

He planned to kneel until Young Master Gu returned, heard from him personally that there would be no further trouble, and only then would he feel safe to leave.

To avoid bringing trouble to his family.

“Therefore, I will not persuade you any further.”

“Take this elixir, lest you suffer from lingering ailments later.”

Zhu Qin, with a look of pity, handed over a healing pill.

Yet he shook his head and refused: “No need, if I wanted, I could have healed my injuries with spiritual energy by now.”

If he didn’t look miserable, how would the Young Master feel appeased?

After realizing this, he felt he understood much more…

His words stunned Zhu Qin and the other woman, who then, without further words, departed first.

Watching their departing silhouettes, Liu Xin scoffed at himself, or perhaps was laughing at their naivety, for still trying to scheme against Young Master Gu.

Whether it was toward him, or the initial intimidation from the Gu Family, or even the matter targeted at the two later.

Young Master Gu had never personally acted, it was like killing without a trace.

Using his advantages very perfectly.

To scheme against such a person, it’s better to be honest; a mistake is a mistake, a loss is a loss.

He may choose to be magnanimous, not taking things too seriously.

…

These three days, Liu Qingqing also had much to gain.

Initially assisting her two sisters, she was confused as to why, having met Young Master Gu, no one from the Gu Family had helped.

Only when they returned to Duanbei City did she understand.

The Gu Family had already made their move; it just wasn’t in the simple and brutal way they had imagined, directly aiding Qingqing to obtain the inner core.

Rather, they had directly cut off the other party’s access to the inner core…

After splitting from the two sisters, Liu Qingqing first visited the Gu Family compound, only to learn that her husband had also gone out to train.

With her husband not around, she simply headed back to the Heavenly Cold Sect.

She found Sixth Elder and temporarily handed over the inner cores she had obtained.

“There’s actually no need to push so hard now.”

“With your young man involved, the result is determined.”

Sixth Elder took those inner cores, stroked his beard, and chuckled.

The tactics of the Gu Family these days had naturally also been observed by the three elders, but they did not interfere too much.

The next day, Zhu Qin had indeed sought out an elder, asking for fairness and justice.

But…

The result of the Elder’s negotiation with the Gu Family was merely an exchange of words.

“You, Heavenly Cold Sect, are engaged in the Saintess struggle, and I, Young Master Gu, am likewise assessing the Gu family disciples; I, too, need inner cores as evidence. Do you presume that only your sect is allowed trials and not our Gu family assessments?”

Such a response was simply unassailable.

If the situation really demanded it, letting the Heavenly Cold Sect delay their trial was an option, but how could that be possible?

The sect organized the final trial precisely for a comprehensive evaluation.

“This way, won’t it affect him?” Liu Qingqing knew only the general picture, but not the specifics, so she could not help but express her concern.

“It will, how could it not?”

“The impact on him will be significant!”

“From now on, this young lad, his position as Young Master Gu, will be thoroughly secured.”

“With such tactics…”

“Just learn from him, and by the time you become our Sect’s Saintess, if you even have half, no, a third of his cunning, that would suffice.”

“Cultivation isn’t just about increasing strength; it’s about using your brains more.”

“Otherwise, who knows where you could end up getting schemed against in the future? The road to cultivation is long, and one must always guard against others,” the Sixth Elder said earnestly.

Especially since Liu Qingqing had been schemed against outside the city last time, clearly due to being unprepared and too naive.

Upon arriving in Duanbei City, she had ventured out of the city alone, while the Elders and Deacons hadn’t even completed their handover, leaving no one to protect her.

Not to mention being schemed against, if she had bad luck and encountered a powerful Demon Beast, she could just as well have lost her life outside the city!

“Thank you for the reminder, Elder.”

Liu Qingqing was stunned for a moment then quickly performed a small bow and took her leave directly.

On the way back to her residence, she couldn’t help but murmur, “Am I really lacking in this aspect…”

It wasn’t just the Elder saying this; even her husband had reminded her multiple times.

It seemed her previous thoughts had been too naive.

She had believed that as long as she committed to devoted cultivation, she could smoothly become an immortal.

Yet she had overlooked the various complexities of the world, which always come with troubles.

Just like this trial, it had brought her many surprises, and her husband’s tactics were something she had never considered.

Initially, she was worried that asking the Gu family for help and giving up inner cores would cost her husband his newly secured position as Young Master.

Now it appeared she was far behind her husband.

Currently, not only had the people of the Gu family not suffered any losses, but they had even made a small profit, considering that the inner core was the most precious part of a Demon Beast, aside from special ones.

“I wonder how long it will be before my husband returns from the city outskirts.”

…

In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.

Gu Qianjun looked at the Spirit Marrow Wall, which had become semi-transparent.

The Spirit Marrow, originally over a foot thick, had almost been completely refined.

The wall no longer showed any clear crystals but instead had become smooth, and he thought the Young Master should be coming out soon.

Sure enough, after about another two hours.

Wang Yue’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and she was the first to open her eyes; this refining session helped her advance a great deal from the Reach Profound Realm Perfection, and she might attempt the breakthrough to the Ruins Realm in less than six months!

Seeing him still cultivating next to her, she simply used the time to adapt and digest her recent advancement.

As for Gu Changge, at this moment, a system prompt sounded by his ear.

[Would you like to share the results of culturing Spirit Marrow with Daoist Couple: Wang Yue (Reach Profound Realm · Perfection)?]

Without hesitation, he instinctively murmured a silent affirmation in his mind.

Although he had slightly eased his refining pace these past few days, his realm had still advanced by a section, reaching about sixty percent progress.

Now, by sharing, he directly acquired most of Wang Yue’s refining result.

A massive amount of pure Spiritual Energy surged around his Qi Sea, which after being transformed by the twelve-petal lotus, settled back into the Qi Sea.

It expanded his Qi Sea space at an extremely rapid pace, even the quality of the Spiritual Energy was getting denser.

At that moment, his aura surged dramatically!

Qi Sea Realm Perfection, achieved!

Wang Yue, feeling his breakthrough, also hurriedly held her breath, careful not to disturb him.

When Gu Changge opened his deep eyes, his realm had indeed firmly reached the Qi Sea Realm Perfection.

These past few days, there were many system notifications from his Daoist Couple hunting Demon Beasts!

In his mind, he opened the panel.

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 210]

[Comprehension: 205]

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

[Realm: Qi Sea Realm · Perfection (20/100)]

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

[Attribute Point: 3750]

The realm had not only advanced to Perfection but had also made twenty percent progress!

The breakthrough to the Reach Profound Realm couldn’t be too far away now.

What excited him even more was the explosive increase in Attribute Points!

At the Gu family residence, he had just spent a thousand Attribute Points to enhance Qingqing’s Root Bone by five points, leaving only nine hundred points in his hands.

He had dealt with some Demon Beasts after that, but the gains were minimal, just two to three hundred points.

But in these few days, it had soared to nearly four thousand!

Even if converted to second-tier Attribute Pills, it would be enough to enhance his Daoist Couple’s Root Bone and Comprehension by several points.

If doubled on himself, that meant an increase of over thirty points in attributes!

After briefly reviewing the kill notifications, he was puzzled why, in just five days, there were so many additional System Points.

However, after seeing one in particular, he suddenly understood.

[Daoist Couple Liu Qingqing (Reach Profound Realm · Perfection) has killed a Ruins Realm Demon Beast, Reward: 1000 Attribute Points.]

Apparently, his wife had taken his advice to heart and had tried to deliver the final blow.

Given Qingqing’s strength, it certainly wasn’t easy to kill across realms, and she must have followed his advice to deliver the final stroke.

Although it was a bit naive, at least his wife was heeding advice, and Gu Changge felt that this was not a bad thing!
