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

But he heard a voice filled with surprise ring out.

"Daoist Fellow Gu, where have you been all this time?"

Sage Zhao was speaking, and had already landed beside him.

"It's Elder Zhao."

"I've recently taken on some Sect missions, and just got back today."

Gu Wanquan recognized the voice as somewhat familiar, and upon seeing the face, he immediately recognized it was indeed Sage Zhao, who had once helped him register as a Tributor.

Back then, he had provided him with many conveniences, granting him the highest tributor access, and he hadn't even charged him a single Spirit Stone.

As they spoke, he quickly performed a bow with his hands clasped.

However, Sage Zhao hurriedly stepped aside, continuously saying, "Daoist Fellow Gu, you must not make an old man like me suffer such a gesture."

"Now I am but a servant by the young master's side and cannot accept your courtesy."

"Haha, we're all our own people, Daoist Fellow Gu, don't be so formal, just call me 'Daoist Fellow,' there's no need for 'Elder' and such."

"If brother doesn't mind, calling me 'Brother Zhao' would be best," Sage Zhao said with a laugh.

"Brother Zhao!" Gu Wanquan naturally had no reason to refuse; after all, this was a Sage Realm Elder.

The courtesy he was shown was also thanks to the connection with Gu Changge.

"Brother, where are you planning to go?"

Hearing that his attempt at familiarity was successful, Sage Zhao cracked a smile and casually asked.

"I'm preparing to return to my dwelling to rest for a day; I'll exchange for some cultivation resources tomorrow."

No sooner had Gu Wanquan finished speaking than Sage Zhao interrupted, "Brother, why bother going back to that dwelling? Now, there's a place for you at Saint Gu's Fourth Saint Son Peak."

"And don't worry about disturbing the young master; he has his own great hall, which is much stronger than the Saint Son Peaks."

"As for cultivation resources... you need not worry, someone will deliver cultivation resources to the Saint Son Peak, and you can avoid running around fulfilling missions."

"Just focus on your secluded cultivation; break through to the Sage Realm as soon as possible, and you'll be able to hold the position of an Elder!"

Gu Wanquan was left stunned by this series of statements.

Wordlessly, he followed Sage Zhao to the Fourth Saint Son Peak.

When he set foot on the Saint Son Peak, he also felt the spiritual energy which was far denser than his own dwelling, tenfold or more, which made him sigh with emotion: This was a true Blessed Land!

He hadn't expected Changge, that kid, to have mixed in so well.

After some pleasantries, Sage Zhao arranged a dwelling for him on the Fourth Saint Son Peak and told him to rest first.

...

Before they knew it, ten days had passed.

On this day, many disciples of the Sword Sect had gathered early in front of the Mountain Gate.

Keen to catch a glimpse of the fairies from the Wan Hua Valley.

Especially that Fairy with the Innate Seductive Bone, most had only heard of her but never seen her!

Soon, a flower-embellished Flying Boat approached, adorned with seven-colored lights.

It stopped in front of the Sword Sect's Mountain Gate.

"True to the Wan Hua Valley, even their Flying Boats are so beautifully adorned."

"Even from a distance, you can smell a faint scent of flowers; I wonder what the fairies inside are like."

"In a moment, during the preaching, if one can shine, maybe it will catch the heart of a fairy from the Wan Hua Valley, and a Daoist Couple may be in luck!"

"Stop dreaming, you're just a fourth-rank in the Reach Profound Realm, and you want a fairy's heart from Wan Hua Valley to secretly agree?"

The Sword Sect Disciples each watched the Flying Boat with fervent gazes.

Meanwhile, atop the Flying Boat, several curious heads peered out, looking around.

Their gazes also held expectation, looking for one figure.

"It doesn't seem like Saint Gu is here..."

"I've long heard that Sword Sect's Saint Gu is extraordinary; today, we should be able to see him."

"But it seems he has little interest in our Wan Hua Valley, not coming out to greet us."

"Those two look like Sword Sect's Saints as well, with no ordinary aura, but unfortunately, compared to the Saint Gu of the rumors, they seem quite unremarkable."

Soon, with the guidance of the Sword Sect Elders, the Flying Boat was brought to a halt.

The Valley Master of the Wan Hua Valley, along with her disciples, came directly to the Sword Sect's plaza through the welcoming formation of Sword Sect Disciples.

Among these, a woman, wearing a hat and a thin veil,

in a white dress, also was covered securely. Even so, just the gracefulness of her walking posture attracted the attention of many Sword Sect Disciples.

Although they couldn't see her face, the woman seemed to have a unique magic that deeply attracted everyone.

"This... must be that Heavenly Pride Girl with Innate Seductive Bone from Wan Hua Valley, right?"

"Definitely!"

"I don't know why, but I can't take my eyes off her, even though I can't see anything..."

The Sword Sect Disciples were also counting in their hearts.

Before long, on the plaza, the young from both Sword Sect and Wan Hua Valley began to discuss and exchange their views under the arrangement of the Elders.

And the woman wearing the veil and hat sat quietly, not actively seeking to speak with anyone.

When Sword Sect Disciples approached her, she would only softly say, "Sorry, if it's about preaching, please find another junior sister."

That gentle voice, however, had a soul-stirring special effect, making the Sword Sect Disciples obediently nod their heads in acknowledgment of the disturbance and then turn away.

Su Mei'er, through the veil, scanned the multitude of Sword Sect Disciples present, her face unavoidably showing a look of disappointment.

Although there were two Saint Heirs present, they did not catch her eye.

This veil was also a special Magic Treasure, which could prevent outsiders from probing with their Divine Sense, and also suppress the effects of her Innate Seductive Bone.

Otherwise, had it not been suppressed, these Sword Sect Disciples might have been infatuated at first sight, without any other thoughts.

Until the evening, she still hadn't waited for that figure of Saint Gu.

Instead, Lu Xian True Monarch stepped onto air and came directly to the high platform in the plaza.
