Chapter 272: Exchanging for Elixirs, Charming Bone Innate!

Outside the Gu Family Mansion, the visitor from Wan Hua Valley was none other than Sage Orchid, who had previously met Gu Changge.

Gu Changge heard the voice and went to greet her; Gu Zhan also hurriedly had the Deacon rearrange the seating.

“Brother Gu, it hasn’t been long, and you’ve already broken through to the mid-stage of the Void Refinement Realm.”

“What a pity…”

“To be honest, have you truly considered joining Wan Hua Valley?”

“Although we cannot offer as many promises as the Sword Sect, our Faries of Wan Hua Valley are unparalleled, a unique presence that even the other three major Holy Lands do not possess.”

Compared to the Sword Sect Elders, Sage Orchid was not overly respectful, but instead covered her mouth with a light laugh and spoke.

“Cough… Since this Young Master has already agreed to join the Sword Sect, I naturally cannot break the agreement halfway through.”

“Elder, please take a seat.”

Gu Changge cleared his throat, cupped his hands in a salute, and then led her to the banquet area, where the Gu Family’s Deacon had already arranged a table next to two Sages of the Sword Sect.

At that moment, the many Cultivators present felt an immense pressure.

Old monsters that are normally out of sight were now sitting here, chatting and laughing with Young Master Gu.

Especially for the two Elders of the Sword Sect in the Sage Realm, there was a blatantly ingratiating intent.

The Sect Master of Heavenly Cold Sect, Wan Shan Taoist, had to muster up great courage to approach and toast the three Sages after a mental struggle.

Although he drained his cup each time, they merely smiled and nodded, casually sipping.

Seeing this, Wan Shan Taoist could only sigh in his heart and obediently return to his seat.

Looking at the two Sages actively toasting Young Master Gu, it was a stark difference compared to his own treatment.

When he looked at Liu Qingqing, his own disciple sitting beside him, he could not help but be filled with emotion.

Initially, the entire Heavenly Cold Sect had opposed Liu Qingqing’s marriage to Gu Changge.

Only Liu Qingqing herself was adamant, firmly stating she would never call off the engagement.

Now it seemed…

This chapter is from fantasylibrary.ink

It was fortunate she had stood by her decision and was not swayed by the Sect’s words.

Otherwise, they would have regretted it for a lifetime…

Even the Heavenly Cold Sect might have been remembered as an enemy in Gu Changge’s heart for calling off the engagement.

And when he became the Saint Heir, who knows, he might just come back to slap everyone’s face.

One could say… everything is fine now, all thanks to Liu Qingqing not making the wrong choice.

At the banquet, Gu Changge was hardly ever idle, continually toasting with people from various forces, and he too responded with a light laugh and a sip.

“Little Friend Gu, speaking seriously, won’t you reconsider?”

“Actually, even if you join the Sword Sect, there’s no problem with you also being named a member of Wan Hua Valley.”

“You don’t need to leave the Sword Sect.”

Sage Orchid kept shamelessly enticing him in front of the two Sword Sect Elders.

“Sage Orchid, if you continue to tempt our Sword Sect’s Saint…”

“I’m afraid I’ll have to…”

Elder Jian Chen frowned and began to speak unhappily, but he was interrupted with a smile: “Oh, what will you do, Elder Jian Chen? Will you be rude to me?”

“I’m so scared…”

Seeing this, Sage Jian Chen could only twitch his eyelid furiously but found himself at a loss for words.

Starting a fight was naturally out of question.

But a warning had to be given!

“Enough, Little Friend Gu, remember to visit Wan Hua Valley when you’re in Central State.”

“I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany you any longer.”

“Farewell.”

Seeing the Sword Sect Elders’ faces begin to darken, Sage Orchid covered her mouth with a smile, took her leave early, and bid farewell to Gu Changge.

Her presence was merely to show goodwill on behalf of Wan Hua Valley.

Hearing this, Gu Changge slightly bowed, and then she transformed into a flurry of petals and disappeared.

Gu Changge could not help but envy such a traceless coming and going technique.

Little did he know, at this moment, he himself was the object of everyone’s envy…

The Sage Realm posed no difficulty for him. All he needed to do was go to the Sword Sect for cultivation, and everything would fall into place naturally.

For three days, the banquet never ceased.

As the protagonist of the feast, Gu Changge naturally could not leave his seat.

Sitting stoically for three days, it was only manageable because his realm had improved; otherwise, he would not have been able to endure it.

Liu Qingqing and Wang Yue had initially tasted some Demon Beast Meat and Spirit Fruit in small bites, but then they did not touch their chopsticks again.

Instead, Liu Qingqing was pouring wine for her Husband, and Wang Yue would occasionally give Lord Jun a massage to ensure he was comfortable despite long periods of sitting.

Just this scene alone was enough to make many Cultivators envious.

These two women were also famously known as Heavenly Pride Girls in the Northern Domain.

As for Yuan Youbai…

Since he had arrived at the banquet, he had not stopped eating Demon Beast Meat and Spirit Fruit.

Despite being small in stature, he persistently feasted without pause.

Luckily, the Gu Family was well-prepared this time around, providing more than enough for all.

When the three days concluded, Gu Changge bowed to the many Cultivators who had attended the banquet and then left with his Wife.

Faced with Young Master Gu’s bow, attendees of all seniorities and cultivation levels stood up to return the gesture.

Even the two Sword Sect Elders in the Sage Realm were no exception.

Faced with the Saint’s bow, they too hastily stood up, not daring to show any negligence.

After Gu Changge departed, many forces made their cordial goodbyes in small groups.

“This visit has truly been an eye-opener!”

“Just Ninth Grade and above, I’ve seen three, tsk…”

“Young Master Gu is truly as rumored, now I think the tale of his reincarnation as an Immortal might be true!”

“It’s just a pity that the Gu Family doesn’t take in Guests; otherwise, joining the Gu Family would have been a fine choice.”

Many Loose Cultivators also sighed with deep feelings.

The gifts they brought for this occasion had essentially paid for themselves just with these three days of festivities.

After all, they were Loose Cultivators, and the gifts they could afford were satisfactory but not remarkably rare or precious. Yet, the Demon Beast Meat, Spirit Fruit, and even the Spiritual Wine provided by the Gu Family were all high-grade!

Crown Prince Wang Xing of the Northern Domain Royal Family watched the departing figure, lost in thought.

“With such a prodigy, it is destined that the Northern Domain will bear the Gu surname.”

“It’s just a pity that Father Emperor’s obsession is too deep; he probably won’t easily let go of his grand ambition to unify everything.”

Wang Xing muttered to himself, then he took the Imperial Family’s people and left.

Unfortunately, the people who came out this time were all close to Father Emperor; otherwise, he would have liked to make early contact with Little Sister and Young Master Gu.

After the banquet, the members of the Heavenly Cold Sect also had no plans to stay long.

As for Liu Qingqing, they didn’t need to worry much about her—they assumed she would not leave the Gu Family anytime soon.

“Elder Zhao, if you are not in a hurry, why not stay at the Gu Family for a few days?” The Old Blind Man looked towards Sage Zhao and cupped his hands.

“I was thinking the same thing!”

“I have taken an immediate liking to Daoist Fellow Xue. If we could exchange more, that would be excellent.” Sage Zhao smiled broadly and replied with a salute.

Having struggled to get the chance to visit the Gu Family, he obviously wasn’t ready to go back right away.

If possible, he wanted to interact more with the Quasi-Saint, and hopefully be of some help.

…

Inside the Young Master Palace.

As Gu Changge was on his way, he contemplated one thing.

He planned to visit the Northern Territory Imperial City before heading to Central State.

Originally, he had thought to bring the Ancestor with him.

But now…

It seemed he could take the two Sword Sect Elders instead.

Although their Realm was not as advanced as the Ancestor’s, their status was extremely high, and they represented the Central State Sword Sect.

The Northern Domain Royal Family, no matter how ruthless, would not dare to lay a hand on him under the protection of the two Elders from the Sword Sect.

As for the two Elders, they would likely be very willing to lend him a hand.

“It seems I need to find time to make a trip to the Northern Territory Imperial City soon.”

As Gu Changge muttered to himself, he glanced again at his panel which was about to reach the significant threshold of eight hundred.

Now that he had Attribute Points, it was time to elevate his talent to the Small Success Saint Body!

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 761]

[Comprehension: 707]

[Cultivation Technique: Emperor Dragon Control Secret, Heavenly Cold Technique, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Technique, Purple Qi Eastward Technique.]

[Realm: Void Refinement Realm·Mid-Stage (5/100)]

[Divine Skills: …]

[Talent: Transcendence, Protection, Taoist Pupil, Fatian Xiangdi, Hidden Breath, Dragon Flame]

[Attribute Points: 180,000]

“Root Bone is short by thirty-nine…”

After briefly scanning the panel, he silently began to exchange for elixirs in his mind:

[Exchange: Third-Order Root Bone Pill (+15) three pieces, elixirs have been distributed to the System Space.]

[Attribute Points Spent: 90,000]

[Exchange: Third-Order Comprehension Pill (+10) three pieces, elixirs have been distributed to the System Space.]

[Attribute Points Spent: 60,000]

[Remaining Attribute Points for the Host: 30,000]

After a round of exchanges, the Attribute Points spent were exactly what the old man had brought back from those Demon Beasts.

Although he could have exchanged the Comprehension Pills for +15 ones which would exactly suffice, he still wanted to save some for emergencies.

“Refine these elixirs quickly, wives.”

Saying this, Gu Changge distributed two small wooden boxes to each person.

As for Liu Qingqing, she received three boxes, one of which contained the Sudden Enlightenment Pill rewarded by the system during her breakthrough in the Sect, and she hadn’t had a chance to use it yet.

“More elixirs to eat!”

Upon seeing the familiar wooden boxes, Yuan Youbai’s eyes lit up.

In the past three days, she had eaten her fill, but elixirs don’t fill the stomach, and she could eat countless more!

Liu Qingqing took the elixirs, tiptoed up, and pecked her husband on the lips under the eyes of Yuan Youbai before entering the Seclusion Room.

“I’ll take you back to the Imperial City after a while.”

Wang Yue followed suit, but Gu Changge spoke before she entered the Seclusion Room.

“Is it time?”

Hearing Lord Jun’s words, her eyes brightened.

Taking her back to the Imperial City!

She understood what this meant—Lord Jun was planning to fulfill the promise to her.

Although her current strength was not yet sufficient to become the Empress of the Northern Domain, she could at least start planning!

“Rest assured and focus on your seclusion.”

Gu Changge did not elaborate further, and Wang Yue entered the Seclusion Room with a joyous heart.

As for Little Hanhan…

Taking advantage of Lord Jun’s momentary distraction, she sneakily kissed him once and then ran back to her room as fast as a flying arrow.

Compared to the previously rapid heartbeats, she had improved a bit now, but her ears still turned red with shyness.

Gu Changge touched his face, smiled, and didn’t mind.

“Once the wives refine these elixirs, they can break through the eight hundred threshold, reaching the Small Success Saint Body.”

“Just… will Small Success Saint Body bring another Heavenly Tribulation?”

As the three began their seclusion, he couldn’t help but feel anticipative.

Small Success Saint Body—he could advance to another level in actual combat power!

And as for whether it would trigger a Heavenly Tribulation…

He wasn’t just unafraid; he actually hoped another Heavenly Tribulation would descend!

Swallow another wave of Heavenly Tribulation Origin to enhance the Heavenly Tribulation Power he controlled!

This method was far more useful than Heaven Rank Divine Skills.

It was something other Cultivators wouldn’t even dare to think about.

…

While some rejoiced and others worried, on the Ninth Saint Son Peak of the Immortal Ascension Sect, Wu Jiang Saint was recently feeling extremely agitated.

Initially, the Sect wanted to use him as a bargaining chip to win over Gu Changge.

That had kept him anxious for a long time…

Thankfully, that damn boy didn’t choose the Immortal Ascension Sect in the end, otherwise he would have been truly powerless!

Now that he had joined the Sword Sect, the Immortal Ascension Sect wouldn’t punish him just for his sake.

“Extreme Dao Body…”

“If this kid comes to Central State, he probably won’t easily let bygones be bygones regarding the past.”

“Ah…”

“If only he would die on his way to the Sword Sect.”

Wu Jiang Saint Heir furrowed his brows, clearly troubled.

If he had known earlier that the young man was of the Extreme Dao Body, he should have instructed the Ninth Grade expert from Wu Family to kill him at all costs!

He needed to confirm with his own eyes that he was truly dead!

How could he have expected that now he could only live in fear and panic, unable to think of any countermeasures.

…

[Wan Hua Valley]

A figure sat cross-legged among a sea of flowers, her body radiating a unique pink Tao Rhythm that seemed to influence one’s mind.

Only she herself was unaffected by this pink Tao Rhythm.

“Hmm…”

The figure hummed softly, and her realm aura suddenly soared.

The pink Tao Rhythm intensified; even a Great Power of the Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm would be influenced by it, instinctively wanting to obey her every command.

“Late-stage Infinite Realm, it’s done.”

That stunning face suddenly brightened as she slowly opened her eyes.

Her aura had clearly reached the Late-stage Infinite Realm!

She was the one with Charming Bone in Wan Hua Valley, also endowed with the Talent of Dao Body!

Under Wan Hua Valley’s dedicated cultivation, she was young, but her realm was extraordinary!

Su Mei’er adjusted her aura, then exited her cultivation retreat, satisfied.

She went immediately to see Master of Wan Hua Valley to share the good news of her breakthrough.

“Not bad, with this pace, it won’t take three to five years for you to have a chance at reaching the Eight-grade Heavenly Gate Realm.”

Master of Wan Hua Valley looked at her disciple with great satisfaction.

“It’s all thanks to Master’s nurturing,” Su Mei’er bowed and said, her every smile and turn carrying a unique charm.

It made Master of Wan Hua Valley, a woman, lose focus and couldn’t help but secretly exclaim, “What a beauty in this world, it’s a pity I’m not a man; otherwise, I’d surely be captivated by Mei’er.”

“What a pity…”

As if thinking of something, Master of Wan Hua Valley sighed and shook her head.

Su Mei’er was puzzled, not understanding why her Master would suddenly express regret.

Meeting her questioning gaze, and without waiting for her to ask, Master of Wan Hua Valley slowly said, “There are several pieces of news recently, all very important.”

“Dongfang Mingyue, the legitimate daughter of the Dongfang Family, has found a Daoist Couple, someone from the Northern Domain.”

“And her husband is of the Extreme Dao Body!”

“He has already been promised a high position by Sword Sect, treated as per the standards of First Saint Son Peak.”

With a few words, Master of Wan Hua Valley relayed all the recent developments.

Hearing this, Su Mei’er was also momentarily stunned.

Extreme Dao Body!?

The Northern Domain actually produced such a heaven-defying talent!

Suddenly she understood why her Master had said it was a pity…

It must be because she harbored admiration for the talent of this Extreme Dao Body.

If she had emerged from seclusion earlier, Su Mei’er was confident she could have persuaded him to join Wan Hua Valley!

Any man, no matter how outstanding, would fall under her charm.

In this, she was quite confident!

And if she could find a Daoist Couple with the Talent of Dao Body, it would bring great benefits to both!

Unfortunately, she had not yet found the right person; those with the Talent of Dao Body were hard to find.

But now…

“Once he comes to Central State, I will find a way to invite him to the valley as a guest.”

“Then… if you have any thoughts, you can surely try.”

Master of Wan Hua Valley saw Su Mei’er’s expression flicker and immediately said with a light laugh.

“Hmm…”

“Although the disciple wishes to find a Daoist Couple with the Talent of Dao Body, I still wish to size up his character first.”

Su Mei’er pondered for a moment, yet she didn’t allow the words ‘Extreme Dao Body’ to determine that she must have him.

“That’s natural.”

Master of Wan Hua Valley nodded slightly in agreement.

But from the rumors, it was not hard to deduce that Young Master Gu had a decent character.

And he seemed quite adept at winning women’s affections, otherwise, how could he have four Daoist Couples?

“Disciple will take her leave first…”

With her thoughts swirling, Su Mei’er decided to leave to stabilize her realm.

Watching her leave, that enchanting figure that made everyone envious, Master of Wan Hua Valley smiled faintly.

Sword Sect had spent a significant amount to cultivate this genius of Extreme Dao Body.

Wan Hua Valley might just reap the benefits if Mei’er is willing and the two become Daoist Couple, thus connecting Wan Hua Valley to the genius of Extreme Dao Body.
