“`
“Cough…”
“I think Wife should still return to the Sect.”
“After all, she’s the Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess. It does wonders for one’s reputation to say that aloud.”
“But…”
“Switching cultivation techniques mustn’t be easy, right?”
“If you need any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Wife, you can just tell me.”
“`
Gu Changge tugged at the corner of his mouth upon hearing this. Supporting her wasn’t an issue, but he couldn’t simply ignore the major problem presented by the flaw in her cultivation technique.
“`
“The Sect will prepare everything.”
“And this cultivation technique was chosen specifically for the competition for the title of Saintess.”
“The two techniques aren’t conflicting, it will just take some additional time. I don’t foresee it being too difficult.”

“Moreover, with the help of the elixirs provided by Husband, I now have an Acquired Spirit Body and a Pristine Dao Foundation, which will make the switch even easier.”
“`
Liu Qingqing smiled proudly; it was rare for her to catch her husband off-guard.
She also felt sweet inside about her husband’s concern.
“`
“I see…”
“`
Gu Changge nodded slightly.
Since Wife was leaving in three to five days, he should exchange some elixirs to enhance her abilities further.
He currently had a whopping twenty thousand Attribute Points!
Spending all of that on second-grade elixirs could net him a hundred!
However, considering he was about to return to the family, he couldn’t deplete all his Attribute Points. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even have elixirs to feed Little Hanhan, the naïve Yuan Youbai.
With a thought, Wife’s panel appeared before his eyes:
“`
[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing]
[Root Bone: 120]
[Comprehension: 135]
[Cultivation Technique: Spirit Moon Technique · Top Grade Earth Rank]
[Realm: Early Stage Ruins Realm]
“`
Seeing the Comprehension entry at one hundred and thirty-five, it should be enough.
Increasing Root Bone would speed up the cultivation rate and enhance the foundation of each realm.
So he simply used his mind to spend a full half of the Attribute Points.
“`
[Exchanged one second-grade Root Bone Pill (+50), now deposited in the System Space.]
[Total Attribute Points spent: 10,000.]
[Remaining Attribute Points: 10,500.]
“`
He naturally wouldn’t skimp on Liu Qingqing. When he was unable to cultivate, she was willing to marry him and even offered a Heavenly Rank Elixir, a Soul-Shaping Pill, to help him start his cultivation!
Even without shared rewards for exchanging elixirs for her, he was willing to help Wife advance.
Not to mention, whenever Wife consumed an elixir, it would also bring about an enhancement for him, offering even more cost-effective benefits!
A fifty-point increase in Root Bone would require five hundred thousand Attribute Points if he was to enhance his own panel directly!
Thus, the difference amounted to fiftyfold.
“`
“Make use of the time before returning to the Sect by refining two more elixirs, Wife.”
“`
Gu Changge casually took out two wooden boxes.
One contained the Root Bone Pill he had just exchanged.
The other held the Sudden Enlightenment Pill awarded by the system when Wife advanced to the Early Stage of the Ruins Realm!
Refining them here was overall safer than in the Sect, at least ensuring no one would witness the process.
“`
“Is this… the Divine Pill that grants Sudden Enlightenment?”
“`
Liu Qingqing opened one of the wooden boxes, surprised.
She had consumed a Sudden Enlightenment Pill provided by her husband before and had then comprehended Sword Intent!
“`
“Take the pill for increasing Root Bone first. The improvement in Root Bone will also affect the effectiveness of Sudden Enlightenment.”
“`
Gu Changge covered that box first, then opened the other one.
The two Elixir Patterns of the second-grade Root Bone Pill revealed a variety of obscure and difficult inscriptions upon closer inspection.
And the fragrance exuding from this pill was far superior to any in the past!
Liu Qingqing could easily guess that the effects of this pill would be extraordinary!
“`
“Husband…”
“What price did you have to pay for these elixirs?”
“`
Seeing the two elixirs, Liu Qingqing pursed her lips, worriedly looking at her husband.
“`
“No price was required.”
“Just rest assured and use them, Wife.”
“`
Gu Changge revealed a reassuring smile and passed her the wooden box.
“`
“If that’s the case, then good…”
“However, my Root Bone improvement has been too significant.”
“The Sect will definitely find it unusual.”
“How should I explain it to the Sect?”
“`
Upon hearing that her husband didn’t pay a price, she breathed a sigh of relief. He had tricked her once, claiming that he had to exchange his Lifespan, but she believed her husband wouldn’t do anything foolish.
Yet the problem remained; her Root Bone had improved too much.
It was well beyond what an ordinary Acquired Spirit Body should have.
Elders at the Eighth-grade Heavenly Gate Realm might not sense it without contact.
But the Ninth-grade Annihilation Realm powerhouses of the Sect would definitely notice.
An increase in Root Bone was good, but she knew the saying: a man is not guilty for possessing jade, yet he invites trouble for having it.
It would possibly give others ideas to covet it.
“`
“It’s simple.”
“Just say that your husband has an Innate Furnace Tripod Saint Body.”
“And you’re not clear about the details.”
“All you know is that with a bit of assistance from some elixirs I gave you, you’ve reached such a level.”
“`
As Gu Changge spoke, he even used his mind to spend a hundred Attribute Points, exchanging them for five first-grade Root Bone Pills.
“`
“If they ask whether there are more elixirs, just hand some to them, Wife.”
“`
He took out the wooden box containing the first-grade Root Bone Pills and handed it to Wife with a light smile, not at all worried. These Root Bone Pills and Comprehension Pills would only yield one percent of their effect when consumed by others, apart from himself and his bound Daoist couple.
As for what he told Wife, it wasn’t a lie; those at the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm would be able to discern the truth.
As to why the pill’s effects on them were minimal, while Wife’s effects were so heaven-defying, it was due to his Innate Furnace Tripod Saint Body.
He had initially made it up on the spot to deceive Wang Yue, but now it seemed a good excuse.
After all, if the ones whose talents improved were bound as his Daoist couple, wasn’t he indeed a Furnace Tripod Saint Body?
“`
“Ah?”
“`
Liu Qingqing was puzzled. This pill, in her eyes, was the extremely precious Spirit-grade Elixir, and her husband wanted her to use it to appease others?
However, she wasn’t aware that the pill’s effectiveness was diminished for others; she silently took it and agreed that following her husband’s instructions was always the right move.
Having resolved her concerns, at her husband’s urging, she entered the Seclusion Room, preparing to begin refining the elixirs!
“`
“The Heavenly Cold Sect wouldn’t be crazy enough to send me a Female Disciple to test the Furnace Tripod Saint Body, would they?”
“`
Watching Wife enter the Seclusion Room, Gu Changge muttered.
But even if the Heavenly Cold Sect had such intentions, he was Young Master Gu. He wouldn’t abide by their will, would he? They couldn’t really expect him to oblige if they demanded he sleep, could they?
