Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 48 - Spirit-grade Elixir? (Extra Chapter Added)

Chapter 48: Chapter 48 Spirit-grade Elixir? (Extra Chapter Added)

Liu Qingqing felt a significant improvement in her Root Bone after taking the Root Bone Pill.

This Elixir was quite special, as she hardly needed to refine it; merely circulating her Cultivation Technique a bit completely digested the pill, leaving no residuary potency behind.

Yet, for a moment, she hesitated.

Elixirs that could enhance one’s Root Bone were each worth a great deal!

Moreover, as a Heavenly Pride Girl herself, blessed with extraordinary Root Bone, the pill that could cause her noticeable improvement would likely have an even better effect on others!

If she continued taking it, even if it remained effective, the result might be greatly diminished.

After some hesitation, she picked up another Elixir, wanting to see its effect before deciding. If not, she would leave it for him, letting him take it or exchange it for other cultivation resources.

“How is this possible!?”

But as she ingested the second Root Bone Pill, Liu Qingqing was completely shocked.

The enhancement she received this time had no reduction whatsoever!

It completely overturned her understanding of Elixirs!

If consuming the Elixir did not result in diminished effects, didn’t that mean that as long as there were enough Elixirs, even a common person with any talent could be made into a Heavenly Pride, or even stronger than her?

Suddenly, she paused.

“Could it be… that he’s been relying on these Elixirs?”

This would explain everything.

Why he suddenly possessed such a high cultivation talent—if it were due to these incredibly mystical Elixirs, it would indeed be possible!

But merely the properties of this Elixir had already proven that its value far exceeded that of the Heavenly Rank Elixir, the Soul-Shaping Pill!

Could it be… these were Spirit-Grade Elixirs?

She had never seen a Spirit-Grade Elixir with her own eyes, only knew they were hard to come by, and even a Heavenly Gate Realm Great Power would struggle to obtain such treasures!

Yet in the wooden box before her…

Excluding the two she had just consumed, there were still ten more!

Although nine of them appeared slightly different in color, with a faint green hue, they should be of the same grade!

It was only then that she noticed the Dao Marks seemingly circling the Elixirs.

“I’ve heard that Spirit-Grade Elixirs bear Dao Marks…”

Liu Qingqing whispered to herself, mostly convinced.

But now, she truly didn’t dare to take any more. Ten Spirit-Grade Elixirs—she didn’t know how Gu Changge had acquired them, but they were simply too precious!

She put the lid back on the wooden box, planning to wait for his return.

Yet driven by curiosity, she opened another wooden box.

Inside this box were quietly resting two Elixirs.

They closely resembled the ones from before, but the key difference was that the Dao Marks around them were double.

She had heard that Spirit-Grade Elixirs were divided into nine grades, and the number of circles indicated the grade!

At that moment, she was fully certain—these were Spirit-Grade Elixirs, their value far exceeding her imagination!

After placing the lid back on the box, she felt uneasy, promptly taking the box to her bed and sliding it under her pillow.

She then curled up on the bed, sitting quietly and waiting for his return.

At this moment, Liu Qingqing was intensely curious, completely unable to see through her husband.

Before coming to the Gu Family, everyone said he was a cultivator incapable of cultivation, advising her against marrying him.

But now what?

It had been only a short month, and this so-called useless person had gone from just starting cultivation to the Sky-controlling Realm, and he might even be close to breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm!

He casually brought out over a dozen Spirit-Grade Elixirs—treasures even Heavenly Gate Realm Great Powers could not beg for—and let her eat them as if they were nothing more than pills for strengthening the body?

Everyone was mistaken…

Everyone was mistaken!

Her husband probably possessed an unexpected fortune, unknown to all!

“Perhaps even if we set aside past events, she is the one who seems out of his league now!”

“His usually calm and collected demeanor, it seems, does indeed come from genuine confidence!”

…

On the other side, Gu Changge had already returned to the banquet in the square.

Guided by his third uncle, he weaved through the various powers present, smiling as he offered toasts.

Most who saw him rose politely to congratulate Young Master Gu.

Even some of the slightly stronger and older predecessors also smiled as they raised their glasses, saying that the younger generation is indeed formidable.

The atmosphere was amiable, without any fools blindly causing trouble at such a time.

While there were some young people of the same generation as Gu Changge who looked at him with envy as they followed their family elders,

those who were envious certainly existed, but they could only be so silently in their hearts—daring not to act recklessly within the Gu Family’s domain.

On the contrary, many young talents from Qingzhou frequently came forward to clink glasses with Gu Changge, hoping to become acquainted.

“Everyone, enjoy your food and drink… enjoy your food and drink…”

Gu Changge responded to each one, taking pleasure in the festivities.

“Young Master Gu really has great fortune, congratulations.”

A familiar voice rang out, and Gu Changge turned to see the Little Princess smiling with a raised glass.

“Cough… mutual congratulations.”

Not sure of the other party’s actual mood, Gu Changge had no choice but to steel himself for a shared drink.

Fortunately, she did not linger, simply drinking up and then leaving the feast, as if disliking the noise.

Gu Changge didn’t take this too much to heart.

But rather, he was somewhat troubled…

How exactly should he explain things to Qingqing?

Before he knew it, Gu Changge felt somewhat unsteady as he walked.

But his third uncle, Gu Sanfeng, showed no intention of sparing him, continually pouring him more wine.

After finishing the toasts, Gu Sanfeng dragged him to the table where the seniors and the Family Head sat before finally settling down.

“Come on, groom,” said Gu Zhan, who had also put aside family affairs for the day, and raised his bowl with a hearty laugh.

Gu Changge readily accepted, endlessly passing the cup among those present.

With the din around him, he had no idea how much he had actually drunk.

However, it was evident that as someone in the late stages of the Sky-controlling Realm, his cultivation was not sufficient to fully neutralize the alcohol.

Even the old patriarch, Gu Kuang, because of his happiness, had drunk quite a bit with his beloved grandson.

As the day turned to evening, the patriarch signaled to Gu Sanfeng with a glance, “Take your nephew back. We can’t let Miss Liu wait alone in the wedding chamber all night.”

“Got it,” replied Gu Sanfeng, who, along with the others of high cultivation, only felt tipsy. Upon hearing the elder’s words, he approached the groom to take him away.

“Here’s to you,” Gu Changge instinctively raised his wine bowl again, seeing double images of his third uncle…

“What are you doing still drinking? Hurry back to your wife and partake in the nuptial toast,” chided his uncle.

“Let’s go, your third uncle will take you home.”

Gu Sanfeng saw that he was clearly drunk and laughed as he helped him stand.

Turned out the young man was even more intoxicated than he thought—he was barely able to walk!

But it made sense—after all, the drinks provided by the Gu Family were priceless spiritual wines, not the common kind. Even someone in the Void Refinement Realm like himself could get drunk on such beverages, let alone the youngster.

So, he had no choice but to sling Gu Changge’s arm over his neck and help him back.

Once they were out of the patriarch’s sight, Gu Sanfeng went ahead and hoisted his nephew onto his back.

“Jeez, it’s too slow walking like this, carrying you is much easier.”

Along the way, Gu Sanfeng used his own spiritual energy to slightly neutralize the alcohol in his body, making him feel a little better, lest he vomit again. The spiritual wines were quite expensive this time and even had some benefits for cultivators!

“Don’t you dare throw up. Today, you’ve drunk what’s worth at least several hundred mid-grade spirit stones. It’d be a waste if you vomited.”

Gu Sanfeng mumbled as they walked…
