Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 222 - 168: Third-Order Root Bone Pill, Ancestor Shocked!_3

"If this matter succeeds, there's no need to worry anymore!"

"It would solve so many troubles!"

"With such an elixir, why not use it on oneself instead of wasting it on someone who is about to die?"

Gu Kuang furrowed his brows tightly and suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on the plan.

An elixir that could elevate someone in his condition to an Acquired Spirit Body was, needless to say, precious.

Even the Ancestor likely couldn't produce it.

Who knew what kind of price and effort his dear grandson had to pay?

If the cost was too high, he would rather his own worthless life be buried in the Gu Family and not be a burden to his grandson.

"If you could break through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, it would be of some help to this boy."

"It would certainly be better than dying."

Before Gu Changge could speak, the Ancestor cut in with a glance at Gu Kuang.

Then, turning his head back to Gu Changge, he asked, "How long will it take to prepare the elixir?"

"I have it now."

As Gu Changge spoke, he silently exchanged for one in his mind.

[Exchanged for a second-grade Root Bone Pill (+10), which has been issued to the System Space.]

[Total consumed Attribute Points: 2000]

[Remaining Attribute Points of the Host: 69460]

Since he could not be certain if the effect would be as he imagined, Gu Changge did not exchange for all at once.

Instead, he exchanged for a single Root Bone Pill worth two thousand Attribute Points to test its effect.

If it worked as he anticipated, even one percent effectiveness should be enough to increase 1 point of Root Bone!

He casually took out a wooden box and handed it to the Ancestor.

Gu Haitang opened the wooden box at will and examined the second-grade Root Bone Pill inside, its two Elixir Patterns formed by mysterious Inscriptions, emanating a fragrance far richer than any he had tried before.

"If you plan to use this elixir to elevate him to an Acquired Spirit Body..."

"Unfortunately..."

"It's still impossible."

"The efficacy of this elixir should be about a hundred times that of the previous ones."

"But to help someone attain an Acquired Spirit Body, it's still far from enough!"

Gu Haitang shook his head after examining the elixir for a moment.

"There's something better."

"It's just that I have to first determine exactly how many elixirs the old man needs to reach an Acquired Spirit Body." Gu Changge's words were startling.

Even the Ancestor was taken aback.

What kind of secrets was this young man hiding?

But now was not the time to dwell on these matters, so he simply followed the young man's intention and passed the elixir to Gu Kuang.

Seeing his hesitation to take it, the Ancestor could not help but scold, "Stop dithering like a woman. If I give it to you, just take it. If you could really break through to the Annihilation Realm, wouldn't that be a good thing? Do you really want to wait for death?"

After being scolded by the Ancestor, Gu Kuang had no choice but to silently take the elixir.

Looking at his grandson and seeing his serious nod, he finally grit his teeth and stopped hesitating.

He swallowed the elixir directly.

Thinking to use his Spiritual Energy to refine the power of the medicine, the Ancestor's hand was already on his shoulder, "Calm your mind, you can't refine the elixir right now."

Hearing this, Gu Kuang reacted and hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground, no longer trying to actively refine the elixir himself.

Instead, he allowed the Ancestor's Spiritual Energy to guide the medicinal power within his body to spread.

This was also one of the reasons Gu Changge came to seek the Ancestor's help in the Back Mountain.

The old man was in terrible shape now, if he gave him the elixir directly, he might not even be able to actively refine it, and consuming Spiritual Energy would only hasten his death.

As long as he could be elevated to an Acquired Spirit Body, even if he couldn't break through in a short time, at least it would be enough to prolong his life by a hundred years!

Breaking through was secondary; what was most important was helping him refine the elixir!

The System Space-produced Root Bone Pill was already easier to refine than ordinary elixirs.

In a short while, under the guidance of the Ancestor's Spiritual Power, the medicinal power had been completely absorbed by Gu Kuang.

"Ancestor, can you estimate how many more of such elixirs are needed to elevate to an Acquired Spirit Body?"

Upon seeing the outcome, Gu Changge asked.

"If the effect is exactly as it was, roughly... twelve more could raise one to the pinnacle of a Mortal Body."

"But to go one step further and reach an Acquired Spirit Body is the hardest part."

After sensing for a while, Gu Haitang calculated and spoke.

The real difficulty was not in reaching the peak of the Mortal Body but in crossing over from the Mortal Body to the Spiritual Body!

"I have a way for that."

"Twelve pills..."

Gu Changge was not worried about this; he already knew that every increase from 99 to 100 would require ten times the cost.

He made a quick mental calculation.

Twelve pills of the previously exchanged elixir were worth twenty-four thousand Attribute Points.

If he added another pill to cross the ultimate barrier, it would be another twenty thousand Attribute Points!

According to the Ancestor's estimate, he would need to spend another forty-four thousand Attribute Points to help the old man reach an Acquired Spirit Body.

Though it was no small sum and even exceeded the total Attribute Points he had spent so far,

Gu Changge did not hesitate.

He immediately exchanged in his mind.

[Exchanged for a third-grade Root Bone Pill (+12), which has been issued to the System Space.]

[Total consumed Attribute Points: 24000]

[Remaining Attribute Points of the Host: 45460]

After exchanging, he took out another wooden box and handed it to the Ancestor.

As the Ancestor opened the wooden box, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Inside the box, the elixir was round and bright, with three Elixir Patterns on it!

The rich potency emanating from it even made the Ancestor's heart flutter; he could feel that the elixir could even improve his own Root Bone!

This was simply too incredible!

The fact that this elixir could help Gu Kuang elevate to an Acquired Spirit Body was even more shocking to him!

He naturally also had an Acquired Spirit Body, but it was already at its limit, with no room for improvement, yet this elixir made it seem possible to go even further!

If his Root Bone could be improved, he might even have a chance at breaking through to an even higher level, the Moon Unification True Monarch Realm!

"Do you have more of this elixir?"

Gu Haitang hurriedly closed the wooden box, afraid of losing the potency, and then stared intently at Gu Changge and asked seriously.

"Yes!"

"But it requires time and a certain cost."

"If the Ancestor needs it in the future, Changge could also provide the elixir!"

Gu Changge had already thought this through when he took out the elixir today.

If he wanted to improve quickly, relying solely on himself and his Daoist Couple was not enough, but if he could engage the Gu Family to earn Attribute Points for him, the efficiency would be astonishing!

And with a large amount of Attribute Points, besides helping himself and his Daoist Couple improve, he could elevate his clan another level!

To be fully prepared for the journey to Central State in the future!

With just himself, even if he could stand firm in Central State, it was clearly not as good as having the entire Gu Family stand firm there—at the very least, if the old man broke through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, he could be considered a formidable expert in Central State.

If the Ancestor could climb one more level, he would even count as a top Great Power in Central State!
