Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 112 - 110: Returning to the City, the Young Master is Truly Omniscent!

Chapter 112: Chapter 110: Returning to the City, the Young Master is Truly Omniscent!

Gu Changge stared at the faint blue translucent panel only he could see in front of him.

From Wang Yue’s perspective, he was just staring straight at her without speaking.

Occasionally, he even showed a satisfied expression…

“Why… are you staring at me like that?” Wang Yue felt somewhat uneasy under his gaze, slightly lowering her eyebrows and averting her eyes as she asked.

“Of course, it’s because my wife is beautiful.”

“Besides, what’s wrong with looking at one’s own wife?”

Hearing her voice, Gu Changge, who had just finished reading the system prompt, also came back to his senses.

He casually responded.

“…”

“Lord Husband really has a slick tongue!”

“I bet sister was deceived by Lord Husband just like this, right?”

“You must have said these words to sister as well.”

Wang Yue was first stunned, then turned her head away and pouted arrogantly.

But to say she wasn’t happy inside would definitely be false.

“Alright, we’ve been delayed for several days, it’s time to continue on our journey.”

“Maybe we’ll encounter some more opportunities and breakthrough to the Reach Profound Realm before we return to the city!”

Seeing he’d bluffed his way through, Gu Changge just smiled faintly, stood up intending to stretch his muscles.

But with only a slight movement, a crisp sound came from the Spirit Marrow Wall beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, cracks spread across the entire wall, shattering it into specks of Spiritual Energy.

“Congratulations, Young Master!”

Gu Qianjun was also genuinely happy for his breakthrough to Perfection in the Qi Sea Realm, and he congratulated him with a bow.

“Thank you for your effort.” Gu Changge patted him on the shoulder.

“It is Qian Jun’s good fortune to be able to serve the Young Master.”

Without further delay, the three of them controlled their flight and exited through the cave they originally entered.

Since the Spirit Steed had been returned to Duanbei City, this time the three of them had to fly on their own.

They aimlessly headed deeper into the Demon Beast Forest.

From time to time, Gu Changge could feel the twelve-petaled lotus in his Qi Sea sensed faint changes in Spiritual Energy.

Relying on this treasure-finding compass-like sense, while they didn’t discover any big fortunes, they did harvest quite a few Spiritual Medicines.

If they occasionally encountered Demon Beasts, it was still Gu Qianjun who would cripple them before Gu Changge finished them with his Flying Sword to harvest Attribute Points!

Gu Kuang, who was following behind, also marveled, “This kid actually has the talent for treasure hunting. Some Spirit Grasses even I didn’t notice, and he has already found them.”

That Ninth Grade Old Blind Man had already almost made up his mind.

How long had he followed this youngster?

Ten days?

He had already seen with his own eyes the boy’s breakthrough to Perfection in the Qi Sea Realm.

And his conduct also left the Old Blind Man feeling quite satisfied.

Not only did he have talent, but he also had methods, schemes, and was blessed with Luck!

Such a Child of Luck would be extremely valuable if he could help him and have him owe a favor.

Not to mention that by taking an Acquired Dao Body into the Sword Sect, he, a Tributor, would receive many benefits from the Holy Land, maybe even enough for him to advance further beyond Ninth Grade!

“Looks like I need to find an opportunity to talk to him and lay my cards out on the table.”

“Ts… It’s a pity, with an Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm expert following him, he won’t be in any danger.”

“Otherwise, if he encountered a life-threatening Demon Beast and Old Blind Man came to his rescue, it would be perfect.”

Muttering to himself, the Old Blind Man suddenly had an idea.

If there’s no chance, then create one…

Find a way to slightly delay this Heavenly Gate Realm, then come to the rescue, won’t that do the job?

But would the kid notice something was amiss?

“Better not. With such a Child of Luck, approaching him with schemes might backfire.”

“If exposed, it will all be for nothing.”

“Sincerity is the best policy; as a Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm Great Power, can he really refuse my protection?”

In the end, Old Blind Man let reason overcome his crooked thoughts.

…

Gu Changge had been walking through the Demon Beast Forest for five more days. During this time, there were continuous small gains, but they hadn’t found a second great opportunity like they had with the Spirit Marrow.

“Lord Husband, when are we going back?”

After nearly half a month of travel, Wang Yue was the first to grow somewhat tired of being away and wanted to return to the city.

In the Demon Beast Forest, she couldn’t settle down to Cultivate.

“Enough, we’ll go back today.”

Seeing this, Gu Changge also decided to return to the city. In recent days, his Attribute Points had soared by quite a bit.

During this time, they had even encountered a Fifth-grade Ruins Realm Demon Beast. Thankfully, with Gu Qianjun’s formidable strength, they managed to inflict severe injuries on the Demon Beast, and though Gu Changge sustained some light wounds, it was nothing serious.

After Gu Changge delivered the finishing blow, his accumulated Attribute Points were nearly breaking through the 10,000 mark!

Most of them had come from his wife, Liu Qingqing.

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 210]

[Comprehension: 205]

[Realm: Qi Sea Realm·Perfection (30/100)]

[Attribute Points: 8800]

During this time, his Realm had slowed down a bit.

Although he let Wang Yue Refine some Spiritual Medicines, it wasn’t as fast as if he had secluded himself for Cultivation in the city.

The explosion in Attribute Points, however, made him quite satisfied.

After returning this time, he would have to find an opportunity to exchange more elixirs for Qingqing to use.

Moreover…

It was also time to help Wang Yue, who was by his side, raise her two attributes to a hundred.

After interacting with her, Gu Kuang could tell that Wang Yue had changed her mindset and was no longer simply there for a transaction of benefits, like when she first arrived at the Gu Family.

“Let’s go, back to the city.”

Seeing that Gu Qianjun had already taken care of the demon beast they encountered, Gu Kuang didn’t linger any longer.

This time, they had traveled about three hundred li away from the city, venturing into a rather dangerous area.

On their way back to the city, they didn’t encounter any Great Demons of the Fifth-grade Ruins Realm due to their eagerness to return. They only killed a Fourth-grade Reach Profound Realm demon beast and a few Third-grade Qi Sea Realm demon beasts en route.

As for demon beasts in the Sky-controlling Realm, he had already lost interest in them.

A single Sky-controlling Realm demon beast could only provide 1 Attribute Point; even dealing with them felt like a waste of time!

Moreover, Second-grade demon beasts weren’t valuable at all, not even having an inner core formed, and their body materials were basically worthless, not much better than wild beasts.

After several hours’ journey, the three had already returned to Duanbei City.

Atop the city walls, seven or eight disciples from the Gu Family spotted Gu Qianjun and the Young Master. They quickly leaped up and came forward with respectful bows, greeting, “Young Master.”

“How is the situation in the past few days?”

Gu Changge asked casually as he slowed down, nodding slightly.

However, seeing seven or eight disciples from the Gu Family on the city wall, he already had a rough idea in his heart.

Probably, in the past few days, the Heavenly Cold Sect’s people had reduced their outings.

True enough, one of them spoke up, “Initially, as arranged by you, Young Master, we didn’t conflict with them but just helped kill demon beasts and took their inner cores.”

“But in recent days, about half of the people on the list haven’t gone out after returning to the city.”

“It seems they’ve given up, and so we’ve been idle…”

Worried that the Young Master might misunderstand that they were not dutiful, he earnestly explained.

“Have those two Saintess candidates from the Heavenly Cold Sect come looking for me in these days?”

Gu Changge’s question was within his expectations. He nodded slightly and then inquired further.

“Eh?”

“Young Master, how did you know they had come?”

“On the third day after the Young Master left, we heard that two female disciples from the Heavenly Cold Sect wanted to pay respects to the Young Master.”

“They seemed to have come again yesterday but left without success.”

“Although I haven’t heard their full names, they must be the two competitors.”

“Young Master truly is far-sighted and foresighted!”

Hearing this, the crowd exchanged surprised glances but quickly answered.

“Thank you for continuing to stand guard here, fellow clan members.”

“This journey has been somewhat exhausting; I will return to my residence first.”

Gu Changge responded with a slight smile after getting the answer he wanted, not offering any further explanation.

Upon reaching the city gate, he bid farewell to them with a bow, taking his wife directly towards the Gu Family residence.

“So, you just want them to come and find you?” On the way, Wang Yue couldn’t help asking.

“Of course.”

“Currently, I haven’t had much conflict with them. I’ve only blocked their means of obtaining inner cores.”

“If they’re not fools, they’ll naturally come to me, trying to see if they can get the Young Master to show some mercy.”

Gu Changge spoke casually, his mind already calculating his next plan.

“What are you planning to do when you see them?”

“After all, those two had schemed against sister before. Lord Jun, you’re not someone who would just laugh off past grievances and let bygones be bygones, right?”

Wang Yue asked with a playful twinkle in her water-brimming eyes.

“Let’s talk about that later. It depends on the specific circumstances, right?” Gu Changge waved his hand, not yet certain who the mastermind was, whether it was one of them or if both were involved.

In any case, it would be best to decide based on the situation.

Hearing this, Wang Yue simply closed her mouth, looking forward to returning to the residence and having a relaxing bath. Even though at her level, spiritual energy could be used to remove dirt, the feeling of being immersed in water was still very comfortable and enjoyable.

“Young Master, these are the gains from our expedition.”

As the three were about to arrive at the residence, Gu Qianjun took out a Storage Pouch that contained everything they had harvested!

It included inner cores, materials collected from demon beasts, and even the Spiritual Medicine they picked along the way.

“I’ve already kept what is useful to me.”

“You can keep these items for yourself; the resources needed for cultivation in the Ruins Realm are undoubtedly no small amount.”

Gu Changge said somewhat helplessly, without reaching out to take the Storage Pouch handed to him.

“But…”

Gu Qianjun wanted to continue, but the Young Master cut him off without mercy, “If you’re going to be like that, then you’d better not follow this Young Master anymore.”

This trip, it was Gu Qianjun who had put in the effort while demon beasts were left dying before Gu Changge landed the final blow.

Moreover, upon discovering the Spirit Marrow, Gu Qianjun hadn’t shown any greed and guarded it for Gu Changge for five days.

If he refused to take these cultivation resources, wouldn’t that hinder his own progression?

At such a young age, being able to break through to the Late Stage of the Ruins Realm, his talent was naturally extraordinary. Gu Changge greatly admired such a member of the Gu Family, even if he was from a collateral line.

He didn’t want to ruin a highly promising family member for the sake of having an extra follower.

Not to mention, to follow him, one must at least have enough strength; otherwise, it wouldn’t be long before being left far behind by him!

“Working hard to improve your own strength is how you can best serve the Gu Family. If you want to run errands for this Young Master, you must at least have value that this Young Master can utilize, right?”

Gu Changge patted the somewhat dazed and awkward Gu Qianjun on the shoulder as a reminder.

After saying that, he turned and continued on his way.

Wang Yue cheerfully followed, linking her arm with his, suddenly realizing that Lord Jun was actually a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

“…”

Watching the distant figure, it took a long while for Gu Qianjun to recover. He gripped the Storage Pouch firmly.

Without saying much, his eyes showed a firmer resolve; he would not let the Elder and the Young Master down!
