Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 221 - 168: Third Order Root Bone Pill, Ancestor Shocked!_2

If he had the ability, he wouldn't have needed to wait for Gu Changge to return to the Gu Family and ask for help on his own.

Gu Zhan would have brought him to the Back Mountain to seek my help long ago.

He was also worried that after Gu Kuang's upcoming end of life, it would affect Gu Changge's cultivation.

Although he couldn't easily leave, he still made a promise to take the opportunity to help him kill his enemy!

"Why not try to see if it works?"

Gu Changge spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly and planned to share his own thoughts.

But the Ancestor interrupted him with a raised hand, "Even if I am willing to consume my own Spiritual Energy to impart skills to him, it will be of no avail."

"The loss of Essence Blood is too great, it's simply impossible to save him."

"At most, I can extend his life for two years, and that is the limit!"

Gu Haitang frowned, although he didn't want to dampen Gu Changge's spirits too much, this junior should face reality!

"Haha..."

"Living two more years is meaningless."

"It would just be a waste of the Ancestor's Spiritual Energy."

"Being able to see my great-grandson again is enough for me."

"It's much better than being directly killed in Duanbei City at that time."

"That Ninth Grade Annihilator from Heavenly Cold Sect has it even worse than I do."

Despite his usual recklessness, Gu Kuang noticed the Ancestor's dissatisfaction and hurriedly spoke with a laugh.

Speaking of which, he used to have friction with that Ninth Grader from the Heavenly Cold Sect in Duanbei City, even nearly coming to blows over Liu Qingqing.

But truth be told, Gu Kuang held no grudge against the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Cold Sect, instead, he felt quite sorry for his death.

Both were defenders of Duanbei City from the Human Clan, it was a pity to end up schemed to death!

Seeing that both had misunderstood him, Gu Changge hurriedly explained:

"Ancestor, I didn't come today to extend the old man's life."

"Instead, I hope that you can help the old man break through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!"

Hearing this, Gu Haitang chuckled angrily, "I know you're in a hurry, but you're hastening his death!"

"Don't rush to interrupt me, Ancestor, let me finish." As Gu Changge explained and noticed the Ancestor wanted to interrupt again, he simply continued, "If I could help the old man enhance his Root Bone to the level of an Acquired Spirit Body, do you think he might have a chance to break through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm?"

When he had finished speaking.

The room suddenly fell silent.

Gu Kuang even doubted if he had heard wrong.

What did the great-grandson just say?

Help enhance his Root Bone to an Acquired Spirit Body?

Over the years, he had taken all kinds of Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could enhance Root Bone.

Now, even if he took such Elixirs, their effects on him could almost be said to be negligible.

If he had the ability to reach the Acquired Spirit Body, he would have achieved it long ago and would have broken through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm based on his talents, what would have happened today?

"Are you talking about..."

"That special Elixir?"

But after a long silence, Gu Haitang suddenly stared at Gu Changge and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Since he had come to seek help from the Ancestor, he naturally had no intention of concealing it.

"That Elixir, I've tried it too."

"The effect is minimal, if you want to raise him to an Acquired Spirit Body, even without considering the reduced effect of the medicine, it would take..."

"At least a thousand pills!"

Gu Haitang felt Gu Kuang's Root Bone and gave his judgment based on his previous assessment of the Elixir's effect.

Thousands of Root Bone enhancing pills...

Where was this youngster going to get them?

Although he had never inquired about where his pills came from, they definitely weren't easy to obtain.

Such pills, wanting to refine thousands of them, would not be achievable within a year or half a year, let alone the need for materials for Alchemy, right?

Even if he could be patient enough to refine so many pills, could Gu Kuang wait that long?

They surely couldn't... let him use his own black coffin, right?

"I have a better effect..."

Gu Changge met the Ancestor's gaze and said indifferently.

The one he had given to the Ancestor initially was just a first-grade Root Bone Pill, but he could also exchange for a second-grade Root Bone Pill, even a third-grade one.

Not to mention, the system was now more convenient, and he could adjust the effect each pill had when exchanging.

There was no need to actually produce a thousand pills; doing so would be even harder to explain.

"Enough to elevate him to an Acquired Spirit Body?"

Gu Haitang, upon hearing this, gave the youngster a skeptical look, but the other party nodded in response.

It seems this youngster had many secrets.

But he was not too concerned about how many secrets the youngster held, instead, he seriously considered the feasibility of the proposal the youngster made.

"Improving the Root Bone will naturally replenish Qi and Blood."

"If his current condition is elevated to the level of an Acquired Spirit Body."

"The Qi and Blood might not be fully replenished, but it wouldn't be little."

"If supplemented with Elixirs and the Ancestor assisting on the side, I am ninety percent confident in breaking through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!"

The Ancestor spoke earnestly with a solemn expression.

If Gu Kuang attempted it on his own, the success rate would still be a solid seventy percent.

He said ninety percent, but actually, he understated it a bit, just in case it didn't succeed, to avoid embarrassment.

But if this youngster could really do it, he wouldn't mind lending a hand, as it would be a good thing for the Gu Family!

If it succeeded, compared to losing an Eighth Grade Heavenly Gate Realm Elder, they would instead gain a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power to protect!

Currently, the Gu Family only had Gu Wanquan as a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm and he needed to guard Duanbei City.

He had previously planned to let Gu Wanquan, a Ninth Grade powerhouse, go to Central State to protect Gu Changge when the youngster went there, but Duanbei City still needed people to guard it.
