Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse-Chapter 255 - 179: Exchange for Elixir! Qingqing is Coming Back!_3
"Do I ever suffer losses?"
Gu Changge had no choice but to explain.
He even took a cut for himself!
Originally, to keep a trump card and fearing it might appear too miraculous, he had claimed he could only exchange about ten.
Unexpectedly, the Ancestor was so sincere that he straightforwardly gave up some attribute points to alleviate his own guilt.
"That's good."
"Your own enhancement is the most important."
"You must never become complacent."
Only then did Gu Haitang stop insisting and securely stored away the wooden box.
The elixir he previously took had already enhanced his Root Bone, and with these five having the same strength without any decay, it should not be a problem to boost his Root Bone further.
He was getting closer and closer to a breakthrough!
So much so that he wanted to go to Duanbei City again right away.
"In a few days, I plan to send Gu Kuang over to Duanbei City."
"Let Gu Wanquan go to Central State first."
"To scout for you."
"What do you think?" Although the Ancestor had already made arrangements, he still asked for the young man's opinion.
Previously, Gu Kuang had nearly had an accident in Duanbei City; if this young man did not want his father to go there again, he would make other plans.
"Everything should follow the Ancestor's arrangement."
"The old man recently mentioned he was almost idle enough to go mad at the Gu Family, telling me every day to ask the Ancestor when he would let him head to Duanbei City."
Gu Changge added with a smile.
"Also, you should be careful not to roam around lately."
"Especially your wife."
"A few days ago, I heard some whispers in Central State; someone might come to the Northern Domain again."
"However, as long as you stay in the Gu Family, you will definitely be safe."
"At least no one can bully the weaker while in my Gu Family's house!"
Gu Haitang, seeing that he did not plan to linger in the Back Mountain long, suddenly remembered something and promptly reminded him.
"Thank you for the reminder, Ancestor; your junior understands."
Gu Changge was slightly taken aback and bowed slightly.
Then he took his leave.
He was not surprised by this news.
That Saint Heir had failed before and obviously would not just leave it at that.
Beside that Saint Heir, likely, many others were also eyeing Yuan Youbai, as she was the best way to draw out the True Dragon behind her.
Thinking of this, Gu Changge could not help but clench his fists.
"It's still that my own strength isn't enough, my influence not large enough..."
"If I were in the Sage Realm now, who would dare to target my people?"
With that thought, he had already reached the foot of Back Mountain.
Seeing Old Blind Man seemingly waiting for him, he approached and greeted, "Senior Xue."
"Sir..." Old Blind Man hesitated, starting to speak but stopping short.
"Senior Xue, just speak straightforwardly, why the need for such formalities between us?" Gu Changge said with a light chuckle.
"I'm afraid I will need to return to Central State."
"The Sect Elders have ordered me back to Central State to complete a task."
"As a Tributor of the Holy Land, every ten years, I must complete at least one task for the Sect, which I cannot refuse."
Old Blind Man said, seemingly without choice.
"Senior Xue, just go, what's so difficult about it?"
"Could it be that the task is dangerous?"
Gu Changge waved his hand, not particularly concerned.
"Not really."
"The task isn't difficult, but that's exactly why it's troubling."
"It's clearly a task any Tributor could handle, so why specifically call me back from the Northern Domain?"
"I suspect someone is targeting you, sir..."
"And most likely, once I am back in Central State, I will meet that person and they will propose some conditions to me, asking for my help to bring the Young Dragon back to Central State."
Old Blind Man shook his head, analyzing the situation very rationally.
Now, he was a follower by the young master's side, and some people in Central State might want to use him for their purposes.
Hearing his analysis, Gu Changge also frowned.
Seems like there was quite a possibility.
"What does Senior Xue plan to do?"
Hearing the young master ask this way, Old Blind Man immediately replied, "Sir, rest assured, regardless of the conditions, I will not betray you, sir. However, I think I should return to Central State. If nothing else, at least I will know who is targeting you."
"Could it be that previous Saint Heir?" Gu Changge slightly nodded, showing his trust in Senior Xue.
"Possibly, but not necessarily, since there were others eyeing the Young Dragon before."
"They all have probably recovered by now and are ready to make their move."
Old Blind Man shook his head resignedly.
Though conflicted in his heart, he still said, "Actually, if sir is willing, I can completely arrange for the young master to become the Sword Sect's Saint Heir right now. With the master's talent, it would be easy to secure the position."
"Then these problems would naturally be resolved."
"The Sword Sect would quiet those people down."
Upon hearing Old Blind Man's suggestion, Gu Changge was silent for a moment before shaking his head.
He wasn't eager to move to Central State that soon.
Especially since the Ancestor here could continuously provide him with Attribute Points.
Once in Central State, even if he used the same reasoning to make those elders at the Sword Sect believe, he couldn't bet that those people wouldn't try to use him as a tool to produce Elixirs.
It was still safe within the family, at least he should have the strength to protect himself before heading to Central State.

"Well then, since the young master has his own plans, I won't persuade any further."
Seeing this, Old Blind Man no longer pressed the point.
"When will Senior Xue depart?" asked Gu Changge.
"After informing you, sir, I can head to Central State immediately, to deal with the tasks set by the Sword Sect as soon as possible and to see if I can find out who is targeting you."
Old Blind Man spoke frankly.
"That's a good idea."
"Safe travels, Senior Xue. Prioritize your own safety, and if you encounter any threats or temptations, it's okay to agree first."
Gu Changge reminded him as he bowed.
"I understand."
Old Blind Man smiled, indicating the young master could rest assured.
He had lived to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm; he was no fool.
After Old Blind Man bid farewell and left, Gu Changge shook his head, not dwelling on those complex issues.
For now, enhancing himself was the most important thing.
"Wonder how long it will be before the wife returns."
