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

"If Ancestor were to intervene, he indeed wouldn't do much, but he would certainly not be convinced,"

"As for the eldest grandson..."

"Whatever the eldest grandson says is right; if something feels off, it must surely be my own issue—the eldest grandson couldn't possibly be wrong!"

"While the few of them chatted leisurely, Gu Changge began to silently calculate in his mind how to make the best use of the Attribute Points."

"He now had a massive fortune of three hundred and fifty-one million at his disposal."

"With a thought, he brought up Qingqing's panel:"

"[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing]"

"[Root Bone:350]"

"[Comprehension:350]"

"[Cultivation Technique: Heavenly Cold Technique·Heaven Rank Lower]"

"[Realm: Void Refinement Realm·Early Stage]"

"[Divine Skills: Lethal Nine Swords, Shadow Concealing Step, Heavenly Cold Finger, Ice God Needle]"

"Besides Dongfang Mingyue, whose Root Bone and Comprehension were still stuck at two hundred and ninety-nine, the others were all the same as Qingqing, already at the value of three hundred and fifty."

"Currently, with values over three hundred, every increase required Fourth Grade Elixirs, one of which was twenty thousand Attribute Points."

"About two million Attribute Points would be needed to raise it to the four hundred milestone."

"And if one wanted to improve to five hundred—a Saint Body Talent—each pill would then require a full two hundred thousand Attribute Points!"

"Just improving Root Bone without Comprehension would already require roughly twenty million Attribute Points!"

"Thus calculated, helping four people all forge a Saint Body Talent would consume nearly one hundred million Attribute Points, and with the increase in Comprehension too, it would need over one hundred million!"

"However, as long as they could completely refine the Elixirs, his own Root Bone and Comprehension would also undergo a qualitative change!"

"He could even touch the two-thousand value threshold!"

"What kind of heaven-defying level would that be?"

"Besides, after that, there would still be about two hundred million Attribute Points left. Even if he helped the Ancestor and the old master forge Talent of Dao Body, it would be far from enough."

"With that in mind, he already had a plan in his heart."

"He immediately exchanged for Elixirs in silence:"

"[Exchange: Fifth Grade Root Bone Pill (+100) one pill!]"

"[Exchange: Fifth Grade Root Bone Pill (+50) one pill!]"

"[Exchange: Fifth Grade Comprehension Pill (+50) two pills!]"

"[Total Consumption: Forty Million Attribute Points.]"

"[Host Remaining Attribute Points: Three Hundred and Eleven Million...]"

"In just an instant, he had spent forty million Attribute Points, an amount he wouldn't even dare think about before—the Elixirs were enough to allow both Ancestor and the old master to successfully forge Talent of Dao Body."

"The old master's Root Bone was slightly worse; initially, he reached the level of a Talent Spirit Body thanks to his own Elixirs."

"Naturally, more would be required to forge a Talent of Dao Body."

"The Ancestor's situation was slightly better, originally being an Acquired Spiritual Body, and after previously receiving several Elixirs from Changge, just one more pill increasing Root Bone by fifty was enough to forge a Talent of Dao Body!"

"Besides, Gu Changge did not plan to neglect Comprehension and Divine Soul."

"Having Root Bone talent alone was not adequate without sufficient Divine Soul Comprehension."

"Moreover, with such a vast fortune, he wouldn't be too distressed."

"After exchanging the Elixirs, Gu Changge produced two wooden boxes."

"This also attracted the attention of the Gu Family Ancestor."

"Seeing him passing the two wooden boxes to him, the Gu Family Ancestor hurriedly stored them in his Space Ring."

"He then cast an inquiring look at Gu Changge."

"These are the Elixirs prepared for Ancestor; there are also these for the old master."

"As Gu Changge spoke, he took out two more wooden boxes and passed them to the old master."

"This..."

"It's best to prioritize yourself first,"

Gu Kuang hesitated for a moment, frowning as he spoke.

"I definitely kept enough for myself."

"Besides, you're already at Ninth Grade, and with just a bit more improvement, it seems you won't take too long to break through to the Sage Realm."

"If the Gu Family wants to establish a foothold in Central State, relying solely on Ancestor would definitely not suffice."

"We will need several Sages to be stationed in the future."

"Seeing the old master's refusal, Gu Changge could only try to persuade him."

"Well... all right!"

Gu Kuang, feeling quite convinced and unable to refute, had to accept the Elixirs his eldest grandson had given him with a bit of thick skin.

"When does Ancestor plan to relocate the family to Central State?"

Seeing the old master accepting the Elixirs, Gu Changge turned to ask the Ancestor.

"The sooner, the better."

The Ancestor smiled faintly; he had waited too long for this day, never even daring to think it would come!

"Then why don't we go back to the Northern Domain together, Ancestor?"

"You can bring back some of the clan members to Central State first."

"In the coming days, I shall discuss with the Sect to arrange a piece of territory within the Sword Sect for my Gu Family."

"I don't think there will be any major issues."

"Then my Gu Family can settle in Central State."

Gu Changge, seeing the Ancestor's eagerness, simply expressed his own thoughts.

The reason for asking the Ancestor to return to the Northern Domain was not entirely because he was eager to move the Gu Family members.

Mainly, he was concerned about the old master carrying the Elixirs by himself back to the Northern Domain.

If the Ancestor, a True Monarch, accompanied them, it would be more secure.

Moreover, now situated at the Sword Sect, if both were to suddenly become endowed with Talent of Dao Body, it would be difficult not to attract attention!

This was a good opportunity for the Ancestor to return to the Northern Domain to continue refining the Elixirs and minimize impact.

"You think deeply, my boy."

"Let's do as you say; this old man will also return to the Gu Family."

"But..."

"Your secret technique to hide Root Bone?"

The Gu Family Ancestor had lived for many years and was naturally shrewd.

Hearing Gu Changge's suggestion, he had more or less guessed his intentions.

"I'll prepare it for you shortly."

"It seems you already know what I want to say, so I won't say more."

Gu Changge replied with a slight smile. Since the Ancestor mentioned the secret technique, he understood that the Ancestor had guessed his intentions, so there was no need for further explanation.

The Gu Family Ancestor shook his head with a light chuckle, everything understood without words.

Only Gu Kuang, listening to their conversation, was puzzled, unable to understand.

He stroked his chin, showing a ponderous expression.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Seeing this, Gu Changge began to speak, "It's good if you understand as well..."

But before he could finish, the old master suddenly blurted out, "My beard has grown, it's prickly!"

"..."

Gu Changge's expression stiffened as he twitched the corner of his mouth; it seemed he had placed too much trust in the old master.

Even Gu Haitang couldn't help but laugh quietly; this grandfather and grandson pair really had eight hundred tricks, but unfortunately, Gu Changge had eight hundred and one tricks, and Gu Kuang, the grandfather, lacked just one...
