Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

Huo Zhan threw a disdainful look at Gu Changsheng and then left.

Meanwhile, Gu Changsheng was feeling the power of his newly advanced level in the core area.

After advancing to the late stage of Qi Refining, he clearly felt a significant improvement in his overall strength.

Although there is only a small gap between the late stage and the mid stage of Qi Refining, it is a difficult hurdle to overcome.

Some people may be stuck at the sixth level of Qi Refining for their entire lives.

It is actually very difficult to fight against higher-level opponents. Even with the use of talismans and Law Weapons, it is sometimes difficult to make up for the difference.

Only geniuses like Gu Changsheng can fight against higher-level opponents as easily as drinking water!

"Husband, your advancement speed is really fast!" Xie Wanzhi looked at Gu Changsheng with stars in her eyes, full of admiration.

"Why are you so outrageous?" Ji Wenxiang's figure appeared, and she looked at Gu Changsheng, feeling more and more like he was a reincarnated immortal.

She thought her cultivation speed was already outrageous, but that was until she met Gu Changsheng!

"Why is it outrageous?" Gu Changsheng asked.

Ji Wenxiang rolled her eyes at him and didn't bother to answer.

After thinking for a moment, she continued, "Changsheng, your progress is very fast. I think this secluded place is not suitable for your cultivation. You should go to a broader place to showcase your talent."

"Although I have already reached this level, I can still take you to the Great Ji Dynasty to find my master. When you become his disciple, your cultivation speed will be even faster!"

Gu Changsheng glanced at her and shook his head, "I'm sorry, Master, but I have reasons that I can't leave here for the time being."

Ji Wenxiang's words were partly out of concern for him, but also partly because she wanted to resurrect herself sooner.

Originally, she didn't propose this mainly because Gu Changsheng's talent might be considered top-notch in the Wu Kingdom, but not in the entire Great Ji Dynasty. But now it's different. Gu Changsheng's talent displayed in the Great Ji Dynasty can even be considered genius.

And it's the kind of extremely bizarre genius. Ji Wenxiang has never seen such a breakthrough speed, and the key is that his spiritual roots are not that good either...

Ji Wenxiang couldn't understand Gu Changsheng anymore. She decided to throw Gu Changsheng to her own master so that she wouldn't be bothered by him anymore!

"No rush," Ji Wenxiang shook her head, "The journey from the Wu Kingdom to the Great Ji Dynasty is too far. Unless you find a cross-state caravan from your Wu Kingdom, but the price is not something you can afford."

"Cross-state caravan?" Gu Changsheng became interested. This was the first time he had heard of such a term.

"The Wu Kingdom is more than tens of millions of kilometers away from the Great Ji Dynasty, with the Jiwu Mountain Range and dangerous places like the Yin River in between. If you want to go to the Great Ji Dynasty, you need to reach the Foundation Building stage, fly with a sword, or ride a refined immortal boat. You also need to guard against attacks from the monsters in the sky. It can be said to be a life-or-death journey. Unless your strength reaches the Gold Core stage, then you can travel unimpeded."

"But well, this is also a big business, so the 'car' families in the Great Ji Dynasty have formed a 'cross-state caravan'. They specialize in picking up guests from the Wu Kingdom, Qi Kingdom, Shu Kingdom, and other countries in the Great Ji Dynasty and bringing them over. The 'car' families are also a dominant force in the Great Ji Dynasty, so they have many powerful cultivators under their command. Every time the 'cross-state caravan' sets off, there are Gold Core stage cultivators guarding it, so it is very reliable in terms of safety. It is the main method for people from various countries to travel to the Great Ji Dynasty."

"Then how much is the ticket?"

Ji Wenxiang smiled faintly and asked, "Three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones."

"Hiss!"

Gu Changsheng took a sharp breath.

So expensive!

The total amount of spirit stones that the Huo family earns in a year is estimated to be only a few hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones. And now they can only make one trip to the Great Ji Dynasty?

But for some people, this money is extremely worth it. Wu Kingdom may seem big, but it's actually very small. Without venturing into the vast sky, some people may live their whole lives in mediocrity.

But if a talented person goes to the Great Ji Dynasty and joins the dynasty or a sect, their destiny will change!

"You earn money first. When you have three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, we will go to the Great Ji Dynasty."

"Okay!" Gu Changsheng clenched his fist, having a goal now.

For him, Wu Kingdom is enough for now, but it's definitely not the best choice for the future. Moreover, going to the Great Ji Dynasty means having Ji Wenxiang and her master, as well as the backing of the sect. It's a great opportunity.

With three hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, he will definitely have them after spending some time in the Huo family!

No, when he becomes powerful, he will go to the Bai family's territory and cause some trouble, maybe steal some things.

As for money, he definitely won't be able to earn enough on his own.

...

Two days later.

"Phew."

Gu Changsheng let out a breath.

So tired.

Really, so tired!

Just now, after practicing with Xie Wanzhi for a while, they both felt idle and decided to do something. As they thought about it, they ended up messing with each other.

After two full hours of exercise, they finally finished.

Gu Changsheng's waist was a bit tired, and Xie Wanzhi was even more exhausted, so he had fallen into a deep sleep by now.

[You have successfully dual-cultivated with your wife, Xie Wanzhi, and received rewards - 50 low-grade spirit stones, Yin Qi +5, Physical Strength +5, and 40 low-grade water spirit roots.]

[Low-grade water spirit root (120/100), can be upgraded. Upgrade?]

"Upgrade!" Gu Changsheng smiled and thought to himself.

The past few days of exercise have not been in vain!

Boom!!

With a strange and incredible sensation, he could feel the constantly surging water elemental energy in the surrounding world!

Medium-grade water spiritual root - breakthrough!

[Medium-grade water spiritual root (20/1000).]

"Keep working hard, and break through to the high-grade water spiritual root before going back!"

Gu Changsheng checked his own situation.

[Name: Gu Changsheng

Spiritual Roots: Peak-grade wood spiritual root (2222/100,000), peak-grade fire spiritual root (2202/100,000), high-grade metal spiritual root (4300/10,000), medium-grade water spiritual root (20/1000)

Wives: Huo Huang'er (favorability 100), Huo Feng'er (100), Huo Yiyun (90), Xie Wanzhi (100)

Cultivation: Qi Refining Seventh Layer, Body Refining Fifth Layer, Soul Cultivation Fourth Layer

Techniques: Ninth Dao Chapter, Blood Demon Body Tempering Technique, Soul Cultivation Technique

Secondary Occupations: First-tier peak-grade talisman master (8/100,000), first-tier high-grade weapon refiner (2400/10,000)

Lifespan: 18/180]

With two peak-grade spiritual roots, one high-grade and one medium-grade, perhaps he would be able to obtain a profound spiritual root when he reached the Foundation Building stage.

But at this rate, it would take him at least several hundred years to obtain an earth spiritual root or a heaven spiritual root.

Thinking about this, Gu Changsheng shook his head and fell into a deep sleep with Xie Wanzhi in his arms.

...

Ten days later.

[You have successfully dual-cultivated with your wife Xie Wanzhi, and obtained rewards - low-grade spirit stones x50, Yin energy +5, physical strength +5, medium-grade water spiritual root +40.]

[Medium-grade water spiritual root (1020/1000), do you want to advance?]

Gu Changsheng once again had a confrontation with Xie Wanzhi, paying a great price, but finally obtained the rewards he desired.

"Advance!"

Boom!

Once again, a strange and incredible sensation emerged. Gu Changsheng felt refreshed, and the water elemental energy in the surrounding spiritual energy became even more abundant.

[High-grade water spiritual root (20/10,000).]

Looking at the sleeping Xie Wanzhi, Gu Changsheng got up slightly.

Pushing open the door, a rich spiritual energy rushed in, accompanied by a majestic aura, lifting his hair.

"If life could always be this pleasant." Gu Changsheng smiled faintly.

After Gu Changsheng's outstanding performance last time, Huo Zhan and the other disciples were very grateful to him, so he no longer needed to guard the Spirit Medicine Valley.

This was also the reason why Gu Changsheng could spend every day with Xie Wanzhi and didn't need to be on duty in the Spirit Medicine Valley.

During these ten days, Gu Changsheng didn't do anything else. Whenever he had energy, he would exercise with Xie Wanzhi. After they were tired, they would cultivate or learn some of Ji Wenxiang's techniques.

In these ten days, his swordsmanship and footwork had greatly improved. Due to relying on Xie Wanzhi and the Blood Demon Body Tempering Technique, the outer layer of his skin seemed to be coated with a layer of blood-colored steel. Gu Changsheng roughly tested it and found that an ordinary Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator would not be able to harm his physical body.

Without relying on other means, he could easily defeat a Qi Refining Eighth Layer cultivator with just his Qi Refining strength and physical strength.

And he still had an absolute killer move - the Yin energy!

In these ten days, the Yin energy in his body had formed substantial dark and gloomy powers.

Gu Changsheng extended his hand, and a strand of Yin energy attached to it. In an instant, the surrounding air turned into dark crystals.

"So terrifying!"

This was one of his greatest trump cards...

"Changsheng!"

Just as Gu Changsheng finished blowing the wind and was about to go back, Huo Zhan came over.

Seeing him, Gu Changsheng always felt that it wasn't a good thing...

"What's wrong, Elder?" Gu Changsheng asked.

Huo Zhan smiled, "Good news, good news!"

"What is it?"

"The family has sent orders, you can leave. There will be new disciples coming here to take over."

Gu Changsheng was slightly stunned and hurriedly ran into the room. "Wanzhi, let's run away!!!"

Huo Zhan: ...

Why does it feel like this place is like a prison...
