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

At this moment, atop the Fourth Saint Son Peak,

"Ah?"

"Is our cousin going to get married again?"

Gu Changming received the news and couldn't help but be stunned.

"It seems to be today..."

Gu Qianjun nodded.

"But since we are residing on our cousin's Saint Peak, won't it disturbhis marriage ceremony..."

Gu Changming frowned and immediately wanted to pack up his things, as everything still had to revolve around their cousin's needs.

Although the two of them were now personally taught by Elders and each had been allocated a cave dwelling, when compared to the environment of the Fourth Saint Peak, the conditions of the cave dwelling were far worse—not just slightly, but more than ten times worse!

Yet even so, he knew how to prioritize; this was, after all, their cousin's Saint Peak.

How could he delay his cousin's marriage because of his own cultivation?

"There shouldn't be the need..."

"I heard from Master that the Sect has already built a separate palace for the Young Master."

"It's even better than the Fourth Saint Peak, and the cultivation environment was constructed according to the specifications of the First Saint Son Peak."

Gu Qianjun shook his head.

However, having said that, he sighed inexplicably.

"It's good that it won't disturb cousin's matters..."

"Why the sigh, Brother Qian Jun?" Gu Changming stopped, but looked at him with some confusion.

Gu Qianjun smiled helplessly: "I thought coming to Central State would allow me to help the Young Master somewhat. Now I've realized I'm just a burden."

"Brother Qian Jun misunderstands; if our cousin allowed us both to come to the Sword Sect, he clearly had his reasons."

"In the future, the Gu Family will certainly need to establish itself in Central State, and the two of us are representatives of the younger generation of the Gu Family."

"Of course… this is not including our cousin."

"The Gu Family can't always rely on our cousin; there should be others present."

"It's likely that he has high hopes for both you and me."

Gu Changming shook his head with a serious expression.

Since being repeatedly outdone by his cousin, his thinking had matured.

"Young Master Changming makes a good point." Gu Qianjun was stunned for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.

"But with our cousin's marriage, should we still attend?"

"In Central State, our cousin has no other family..."

Gu Changming scratched his head, wondering how he had received no notification up until now.

Suddenly, two figures appeared before them.

"Master."

Gu Changming and Gu Qianjun immediately bowed in greeting upon seeing them.

The visitors were Sage Jian Chen and Sage Zhao.

"On the day of the Young Master's marriage, you two, being from the Gu Family, should of course be present."

"Get ready, we will go to the Dongfang Family together shortly."

Sage Jian Chen said with a light smile.

"Yes!"

The two of them finally relaxed, and even Gu Qianjun put on a new outfit upon hearing this.

He didn't want to embarrass the Young Master.

...

Within the forbidden area, Gu Changge also ended his three days of cultivation.

However, he felt an itch on his face.

His Divine Sense had long been aware of everything.

Little Hanhan had finished refining the elixir and was now awake, sneakily creeping up in front of him.

A little face kept edging closer to his.

Nervous with eyes shut, she finally plucked up the courage to lean forward.

After succeeding, Yuan Youbai quickly pulled away, looking guilty as a thief, squatting to the side and licking her lips.

"Husband smells nice..."

She muttered softly, but suddenly noticed the shadow on the ground was amiss.

Looking up, her Husband had stood up at some point and was now behind her...

"Ah!"

She was startled and shouted, with her face turning red in an instant!

"What's the matter?"

Gu Changge asked casually with a light smile.

"Nothing... nothing."

Yuan Youbai, seeing that he did not seem to notice her previous action, breathed a sigh of relief, nervously twiddled her clothing hem, and avoided eye contact.

Quickly changing the subject, she said: "Is Husband going to marry Sister Ming Yue now?"

"Yes, if you're afraid of crowds, you can stay here to cultivate."

Gu Changge nodded slightly, knowing she was shy, and he always thought this manner of address was strange.

Before, Yuan Youbai called Qingqing and Yue'er 'sister,' which was fine, although Yuan Youbai was older, but in terms of order, calling them 'sister' was not a problem.

But now, this Dongfang Mingyue.

Neither in age nor in order did she precede Yuan Youbai.

Yet the little one still called her 'sister.'

However, seeing her dumbfounded look, Gu Changge couldn't be bothered to correct her. Let her call her what she wants!

As they were talking, he also noticed the system prompt that had not responded during his previous cultivation session:

[Daoist Couple: Yuan Youbai (Void Refinement Realm·Mid-Stage) has refined a fourth-stage Root Bone Pill (+50), and a fourth-stage Comprehension Pill (+50). Share the effects immediately?]

He silently consented to share them right away!

At once, he felt a warm current flow through his body.

His Root Bone was improving at a rapid pace, while the faint golden Taoist Scripture on his bones glowed faintly, enhancing his physique.

His Divine Soul also grew significantly at the same time!

[Root Bone increased by fifty]

[Comprehension increased by fifty]

[Current Host's Root Bone: 1161]

[Current Host's Comprehension: 1092]

Glancing casually at his panel, Gu Changge silently calculated.

In a few days, Wang Yue would likely refine her elixirs, then his Root Bone would reach over twelve hundred.

He was only over two hundred points away from the twelve hundred needed for Saint Body Completion.

And with Dongfang Mingyue, if he could raise her Root Bone to three hundred,

That would be another increase of over one hundred Root Bone.

The Saint Body Completion wouldn't be far off!

"Youbai also wants to be with Husband!"

Yuan Youbai looked at him earnestly, not choosing to stay behind to cultivate.
