Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

"Marry, marry me?" Huo Qinghan was taken aback, then his expression was filled with anticipation, excitement overflowing.

"Yes, marry you," Gu Changsheng nodded.

"Really?" Huo Qinghan was afraid that he had misheard and hurriedly asked.

"Of course it's true."

"Come on, come on." Huo Qinghan was overjoyed.

Gu Changsheng shook his head, "Getting married is not done here."

"Huh?"

"Are we going to get married outside?" Huo Qinghan thought of something and exclaimed in shock.

"Otherwise, how can it be called a proper marriage?" Gu Changsheng smiled faintly.

"No, no, no, this definitely won't work, Changsheng, I know you want to respect me, but our situation doesn't allow us to do this now. We just need to show our intentions. When we return to the clan, we can have another wedding ceremony." Huo Qinghan thought simply. As long as Gu Changsheng was willing to marry her, she would be happy. There was no need to hold a wedding ceremony in such a dangerous place. It would only invite trouble from Bai Luofei.

Gu Changsheng's attitude was firm, "Marriage is not something that can be redone. If I want to marry you, I will definitely do it in a grand way, so that everyone knows!"

"But..." Huo Qinghan hesitated.

Gu Changsheng smirked, "Qinghan, I know you're afraid of being discovered by Bai Luofei and the others, right? It's okay, I have a plan."

"Let's stay here for a few more days to rest, and then find an opportunity to disguise ourselves, rent a shop, and gather information about the market."

"You can also use disguise techniques?" Huo Qinghan asked curiously.

"A little bit," Gu Changsheng replied.

To prevent herself from suddenly waking up, Ji Wenxiang had prepared many useful techniques for Gu Changsheng when she had free time. As long as Gu Changsheng needed it, he could open the special book of techniques she had written.

Among the book of techniques, there was a technique called "disguise technique."

This technique could temporarily modify a person's appearance. With the help of some techniques to conceal their aura, and a little bit of grooming, no one would be able to recognize them.

Touching the soul ring, Gu Changsheng felt even more grateful to Ji Wenxiang.

"Master, this time I not only want to resurrect you, but also find a way to help you advance further!"

...

Three days later.

"Qinghan, do you still recognize me now?"

In Bai Qin's room, a young man with an extremely honest appearance smiled at the woman in front of him.

In front of him was a woman in her thirties, with an average appearance, but her eyes were extremely bright and captivating. She covered her mouth and chuckled, "Changsheng, do you still recognize me?"

The two of them smiled at each other, very satisfied with each other's current appearance.

After several days of study, they had mastered the art of disguise. Gu Changsheng had transformed from an extremely handsome man into an honest-looking young man in his thirties. This appearance would not attract any attention in a crowd.

Huo Qinghan had also become an ordinary-looking woman.

Their appearances would not attract attention from others.

"Now we're ready to go out," Gu Changsheng took a deep breath.

Huo Qinghan looked a little nervous, but when Gu Changsheng held her hand, she instantly gained confidence.

As long as Gu Changsheng stood by her side, there was nothing to be afraid of!

The two of them quietly left Bai Qin's house and found that there was nothing unusual outside, which put them at ease.

Indeed, they hadn't expected that Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan would be hiding in Bai Qin's mansion.

The only strange thing was that Bai Qin hadn't returned to her mansion during this time.

Did she not care about her family?

Was she too busy with her career?

What Gu Changsheng didn't know was that Bai Qin had already been killed by Bai Luofei, otherwise he might have been discovered a few days earlier.

The two of them quickly left Bai Qin's mansion.

...

The two of them pretended to be nonchalant as they walked on the road, completely fearless.

Of course, with their disguises, no one could recognize them.

"Husband, look over there." Huo Qinghan suddenly saw something and pointed to a billboard in front of them.

The two of them looked in that direction.

On the billboard, it said:

"Due to Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan's reckless actions in the market, violating the market regulations, and maliciously escaping, they will be wanted by the market. Anyone who provides information about the two of them will receive 3000 low-grade spirit stones. If they are captured, 10,000 low-grade spirit stones will be rewarded!"

Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan frowned.

Damn, they're wanted in the market?

Not only that, why hasn't anyone from the Bai family been affected?

There must be some dirty dealings going on!

Bai Luofei's identity is indeed too special.

It's too easy for people from the Great Ji Dynasty to bully locals from the Wu Kingdom.

"Do you two also want to catch them?"

While the two of them were looking, a sneaky-looking person approached them.

"What do you want?" Gu Changsheng glanced at him indifferently.

The man became interested, "Let me tell you, I am the 'Bai Xiaosheng' of the market, I know everything. I can see that you are also interested in Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan, right? Coincidentally, I know some information about them. As long as you pay 998 spirit stones, I will tell you this information, and you can catch them!"

Gu Changsheng glanced at him with a playful look, "Are you sure you know where Gu Changsheng is hiding?"

The man nodded eagerly, "Yes, yes, I know where they are hiding."

Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan exchanged a glance, both seeing the amusement in each other's eyes.

He knows their whereabouts?

Then who are they?

"So, brother, do you want to buy this information? I think you're handsome and we have a connection, so I'll sell you this information for 200 low-grade spirit stones."

Gu Changsheng patted his shoulder and smiled, "Sorry, I don't need it. I already know where they are."

With that, he and Huo Qinghan left.

The man watched their backs and sneered, "You know where they are? Then why don't you go and capture them instead of showing off?"

After that little incident, Gu Changsheng finally understood how valuable they were now.

Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!

The Bai family must be really wealthy, huh?

If it were possible, Gu Changsheng would have considered going to the Bai family to claim the reward.

"Husband, what should we do next?"

Gu Changsheng said, "Let's find a shop first. We'll go to the east side of the city and find any small shop."

"Okay."

...

After dozens of minutes, the two arrived in the eastern part of the city.

The eastern part of the city was considered relatively remote in the entire market area, with low customer traffic.

Gu Changsheng and Huo Qinghan looked around and found a weapon shop that was up for sale, perhaps because of its low customer traffic.

After friendly negotiations, Gu Changsheng rented it for 2000 low-grade spirit stones.

"Husband, what should we sell here?" Huo Qinghan asked, looking at the empty shop.

Gu Changsheng took out a large batch of elixirs, talismans, and Law Weapons. "We'll sell these."

Huo Qinghan's eyes widened, "How do you still have so many of these things?"

She was completely shocked.

You see, Gu Changsheng had already used up a lot of resources to support her shop, and she even thought that Gu Changsheng had emptied his own little treasury!

Who would have thought that Gu Changsheng still had so many resources?

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly, "A man always needs a little treasury, but once we're married, my things will be your things."

After killing so many cultivators from the Bai family, how could he have sold everything? He kept many resources for emergencies.

"Alright, for the next few days, let's sell these things, build good relationships with our neighbors, and then... get married!"

...

The following days were calm.

The shop Gu Changsheng opened didn't attract many customers due to the average quality and not-so-competitive prices, combined with the low customer traffic in the east side of the city.

But that didn't matter because Gu Changsheng wasn't there to sell things in the first place.

During these days, they spent most of their time interacting and building relationships with the nearby shop owners.

Soon, they received an invitation from Gu Changsheng...

It was an invitation to their wedding in two days.

The neighboring shop owners thought about it and started preparing the betrothal gifts.

...

Two days later.

The shop where Gu Changsheng was located was now decorated with lights and surrounded by red carpets. The house was filled with lanterns, creating a festive atmosphere.

Gu Changsheng, dressed in a specially made wedding gown, stood at the entrance, welcoming the guests.

"Welcome to my wedding, thank you. Oh, Fellow Daoist, you don't need to give a betrothal gift, keep it."

"Really, really, we don't need the betrothal gift, take it back."

"Thank you for coming, Fellow Daoist! It's truly a joyous occasion!"

Gu Changsheng continuously greeted the guests, and there were about a dozen people in attendance.

He tried to dissuade those who wanted to give betrothal gifts, but if they insisted, he couldn't refuse.

Soon, the wedding ceremony began, and Huo Qinghan was called up.

The two of them didn't attract much attention since they had average looks. They were just there to join in the celebration and have a meal.

After a while, the wedding was successfully concluded, and after seeing off the guests, Gu Changsheng went to the backyard of the shop.

Next...

It was time for the bridal chamber!

...

Entering the backyard, Gu Changsheng took a deep breath and gently pushed open the door.

It was that moment again.

Although he had been married several times, Gu Changsheng still felt excited every time.

After all, he wasn't marrying the same person...

It still felt fresh.

Huo Qinghan, dressed in a red gown, was sitting on the edge of the bed. It was evident that she was very happy.

Although Huo Qinghan appeared aloof, in reality, as long as it was someone she was close to or someone she liked, she would be as passionate as a flame.

"Changsheng, you're here," Huo Qinghan said.

Gu Changsheng smiled and walked to Huo Qinghan's side, holding her hand.

"Qinghan."

He gently lifted her red veil.

Huo Qinghan's stunning beauty appeared.

They were married now, with no one else around, and they didn't need to hide their appearance anymore.

"We're really married," Huo Qinghan looked at Gu Changsheng, as if in a dream.

She never thought she would get married one day.

In her mind, she was supposed to cultivate and become an immortal, not get married.

But Gu Changsheng was really too good, his charisma was too strong, and even she could only end up liking him in the end!

"Yes, you are now my true wife," Gu Changsheng smiled.

[You have successfully married Huo Qinghan and received rewards - Foundation Building Pill, Wood Spirit Root, Gold Spirit Root, Fire Spirit Root, Water Spirit Root, a first-grade talisman master, a first-grade master refiner +50,000.]

[The first-grade master refiner has reached the peak of the first grade, do you want to break through?]

Looking at the rewards from Goldfinger, Gu Changsheng was very happy.

These rewards were great!

The spirit roots alone added a total of 50,000 experience points!

That's a lot, it would take who knows how long to achieve that through physical exercise!

"Breakthrough!"

Boom!

Countless thoughts about refining appeared in his mind.

At this moment, he had become a first-grade master refiner!

More importantly, among the things he obtained this time -

There was actually a Foundation Building Pill!

The Foundation Building Pill was simply priceless.

Every time a Foundation Building Pill appeared in the Wu Kingdom, it would be a bloody battle.

This pill could increase the chances of a cultivator advancing four levels in Foundation Building!

It was extremely terrifying!

"Changsheng..."

Seeing Gu Changsheng in a daze, Huo Qinghan whispered.

Although she had never thought about getting married, she knew what to do after getting married.

After getting married, they would start...

"Let's rest," Huo Qinghan said weakly, using all her strength.

At this moment, her face turned red, like the evening glow.

"Qinghan, wait, I want to give you a big gift," Gu Changsheng gently grabbed Huo Qinghan's hand.

Huo Qinghan looked at Gu Changsheng with confusion, "Changsheng, what do you want to give me?"

"It's not necessary, Changsheng. I have already married you, you don't need to win me over anymore. Being able to marry you is already the greatest gift from heaven."

Look, these words are so comforting!

Gu Changsheng was floating on cloud nine after hearing them.

"You are also a gift from heaven to me," Gu Changsheng smiled at Huo Qinghan, "so I need to give you this big gift even more."

When Huo Qinghan wanted to say something, she saw Gu Changsheng take out a pill.

After the pill appeared, Huo Qinghan's eyes widened.

"This, this is..."

She looked at the pill, her eyes filled with astonishment.

"Foundation Building Pill," Gu Changsheng said, "You have been stuck at the ninth level of Qi Refining for a long time, and you are just one step away from Foundation Building, right? So I'm giving you this."

If it wasn't for the fact that it wouldn't work, Gu Changsheng actually wanted to take it himself.

But he had just broken through the ninth level of Qi Refining not long ago, and he still had a long way to go before Foundation Building.

Even if he took the Foundation Building Pill, it would be useless.

"Really, for me?" Huo Qinghan asked tremblingly.

This was the Foundation Building Pill, it was like a divine pill!

And Gu Changsheng was about to give it to her?

"Of course I'm giving it to you, who else would I give it to?" Gu Changsheng smiled.

"Boom!"

Huo Qinghan excitedly threw herself into Gu Changsheng's arms.

She looked into Gu Changsheng's eyes and said, "Changsheng, I want to give myself to you!"

"Not so fast, first breakthrough to Foundation Building," Gu Changsheng said.

The first reward for marriage and dual cultivation was always generous.

And the stronger the cultivation of the dual cultivation partner, the richer the rewards.

The rewards for dual cultivation at the ninth level of Qi Refining and the initial stage of Foundation Building were definitely not on the same level.

Although he had married Huo Qinghan and gained many means, he still didn't have a completely safe way to leave the city!

Gu Changsheng was now counting on Huo Qinghan to break through to Foundation Building and obtain the rich rewards of dual cultivation.

"Not in a hurry?" Huo Qinghan blinked slightly.

She was actually quite anxious...

She thought that breaking through to Foundation Building might be important, but at this moment, they were getting married. Shouldn't they be doing what they were supposed to do during this auspicious occasion?

It seemed strange to cultivate during their wedding...

"Well, not in a hurry," Gu Changsheng nodded. "Your cultivation is the most important thing right now."

"Okay!"

Huo Qinghan obediently picked up the Foundation Building Pill and swallowed it in one gulp.

Gu Changsheng looked at Huo Qinghan with some nervousness.

Her talent for cultivation was quite good, and with the effect of the Foundation Building Pill given by the system, there shouldn't be any problem with reaching Foundation Building... right?

Boom!!!

In the instant she swallowed the Foundation Building Pill, an infinite amount of spiritual energy exploded from Huo Qinghan's body.

A huge vortex of spiritual energy formed around her, crazily devouring the surrounding spiritual energy!

Gu Changsheng thought for a moment, then took out a cherished medium-grade spirit stone and placed it in her hand.

...

After several hours, Huo Qinghan's expression gradually became painful.

Gu Changsheng was very nervous.

This couldn't fail!

Success not only meant obtaining the help of a Foundation Building cultivator, but also determined whether he would receive the reward from the Goldfinger!

"Bang!"

Suddenly, Gu Changsheng seemed to hear the sound of something breaking.

Immediately, countless spiritual energy surged into Huo Qinghan's body.

Her aura skyrocketed, quickly reaching...

Foundation Building!!!

Gu Changsheng finally let go of his suspended heart.

Success!

Half an hour later, Huo Qinghan completely stabilized her own strength. She slightly opened her eyes, and a sharp light burst forth from them.

With the successful Foundation Building, her entire person underwent a tremendous transformation in aura.

"Changsheng!"

But the only thing that remained unchanged was her heart that liked Gu Changsheng!

After successfully reaching Foundation Building, Huo Qinghan glanced at Gu Changsheng, smiled slightly, and then...

Directly pounced on Gu Changsheng.

Gu Changsheng: ???

Suddenly, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

This couldn't be...

Seeing Gu Changsheng's bewildered expression, Huo Qinghan felt somewhat proud and chuckled, "Changsheng, thank you for the Foundation Building Pill. From now on, we're going to do some important things together."

"You've helped me so much, let me take care of the rest!"

"I..."

Before Gu Changsheng could say anything, he found himself being undressed.

Then, Huo Qinghan lowered her head and leaned over.

Gu Changsheng couldn't say anything anymore.

He never expected that there would be such a day...

...

"Still no news?" Bai Luofei took a deep breath, looking at the cultivator reporting in front of her with a calm gaze that exuded immense pressure.

The Bai family cultivator's voice trembled, "Reporting to Immortal Bai... We have searched the entire city for the past few days, but we haven't found any trace of Gu Changsheng..."

Bai Luofei wasn't as angry anymore.

Gu Changsheng was quite cunning. If they couldn't find him in the past few days, it was even less likely now.

This guy had some tricks up his sleeve. If he suddenly appeared, it might even be a surprise.

"Let's change our approach." Bai Luofei pondered for a moment and said, "Is there anything unusual happening in the city recently?"

"Unusual happenings?" The Bai family cultivator thought for a moment and said, "There haven't been many special occurrences in the city. People are either cultivating or selling things. But there is one particular situation that is quite unusual. Recently, the owner of a weapon shop in the east of the city suddenly got married."

"The wedding was quite lively, so we looked into it a bit. These two people seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and bought the weapon shop. There is no information about their identities, but our investigation showed that they are not Gu Changsheng and the others."

"But this situation is relatively unusual."

"A wedding?" Bai Luofei narrowed her eyes. "You mean these two people appeared out of thin air?"

"Yes, according to our investigation, although they invited many people to their wedding, none of them were familiar with them. Moreover, these two people have unknown origins and are highly suspicious."

"It is indeed strange." Bai Luofei nodded.

In the cultivation world, there are many special methods, such as changing one's appearance. Although they are difficult to find, they do exist.

"Let's go and take a look. Let me see this couple for myself." Bai Luofei said.

She had nothing better to do anyway. She would rather make a mistake than let them slip away.

At most, it would just waste some time.

Although she didn't have much hope for this couple.

Gu Changsheng and the others had been hiding for so long, how could they suddenly appear and get married in public?

He wasn't that foolish.
