Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

017,

Five days later.

[You and your wife successfully cultivate together, gaining 16 experience points for Wood Spirit Root, Fire Spirit Root, and Talisman Master.]

[Wood Spirit Root (Medium Grade, 350/1000), Fire Spirit Root (Medium Grade, 248/1000), First Grade Medium Grade Talisman Master (244/1000).]

[Your wife's Fire Spirit Root has made a slight improvement and is not far from awakening.]

These days have been quite peaceful.

Huo Qingfeng hasn't come to cause him any trouble. Gu Changsheng understands that the more trouble he avoids, the more likely he is planning something bad in secret!

Although the Bai family is preparing to go to war with the Huo family, they haven't received any information about the war. Both families have increased their manpower in their respective markets and are simulating large-scale battles in some key locations. It's only a matter of time before the war begins.

Gu Changsheng speculates that the Bai family is waiting for news from the Huo family's Foundation Building Ancestor.

If there is a real problem, they will send a large army to attack.

But these things don't affect him for now.

In the past few days, he has been exercising when he has nothing to do.

Then he studies and makes talismans.

However, in the past few days of research, he hasn't been able to draw a 'Fire Blade Talisman' and has instead wasted two pieces of talisman paper.

It's not that he doesn't feel heartache, after all, talisman paper is not cheap. But this loss is acceptable, considering it's only two pieces...

You ask why he ruined two talismans in five days? It's simply because he's too busy.

He's busy with exercise and cultivation, and he has to squeeze out time to make talismans.

Although time is like that thing, there's always some to squeeze out, but he can't squeeze out much time.

With the breakthrough of both elemental roots, his cultivation efficiency has greatly improved, and Gu Changsheng has fallen in love with the feeling of making rapid progress.

He believes that in another month or two, he will be able to break through to the third level of Qi Refining!

If in a few more days, he can upgrade both elemental roots to the top grade, his cultivation speed will be even faster!

But Gu Changsheng also wants to obtain a new elemental root.

If all three of his elemental roots are top grade, he has a chance to achieve Foundation Building before the age of 35!

At that time, he will definitely be a genius among geniuses.

Moreover, as long as he continues to work together with his wife, their potential will keep improving!

He may have a chance to achieve Foundation Building before the age of 30!

By then, he will truly be a peerless genius that the Azure Mountain Sect will fight over.

"I need to find an opportunity to find another wife," Gu Changsheng thought to himself.

"But today, I won't mention this. After all, it's Phoenix's birthday."

Gu Changsheng got up slightly.

Looking at Huo Huang'er lying beside him, Gu Changsheng smiled faintly.

Although he may have treated Huo Huang'er as a tool to enhance his strength, he is genuinely happy in his heart.

He truly regards Huo Huang'er as his wife, supporting each other through thick and thin.

Today happens to be Huo Huang'er's 19th birthday.

Originally, Gu Changsheng thought Huo Huang'er was younger than him, but it turns out she is actually a few months older!

"Husband~"

As Gu Changsheng woke up, Huo Huang'er, who had been working all night, rubbed her eyes and slowly woke up.

Lately, she has been feeling more and more exhausted.

Husband--

Ah, let's not mention it.

Is it really not tiring at all?

But the process is still very enjoyable, it's just that the recovery time afterwards is a bit long.

Sometimes she feels like a day passes by so quickly, either doing that or sleeping.

"Are you awake?" Gu Changsheng gently pulled Huo Huang'er into his arms.

"Mhmm~" Huo Huang'er nodded lightly, like a little kitten.

With sleepy eyes, she looked extremely cute.

Gu Changsheng gently kissed her on the face, then kissed her several more times.

"Husband~~~ It's early in the morning, I'm really tired. Let me help you get up!" Huo Huang'er, afraid that Gu Changsheng would have other ideas, hurriedly tried to get up.

"Don't move, today is your birthday, I'll do it." Gu Changsheng pressed down on Huo Huang'er's body as she tried to get up.

Huo Huang'er was taken aback, her eyes filled with surprise. "You actually knew today is my birthday?"

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly. "As your husband, how could I not know? You lie down first, I will serve you today. I have prepared many gifts for you, and there is also a big surprise."

"Gifts? Big surprise?" Huo Huang'er was full of anticipation.

Gu Changsheng got up, got out of bed, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room.

Before long, he came back with a basin of hot water and a towel.

"Come, madam, let me wipe your face." Gu Changsheng smiled as he picked up the towel.

Although Huo Huang'er felt a little embarrassed, she still raised her head.

It's her birthday today, so she should enjoy herself. She'll serve her husband well next time.

Under Gu Changsheng's careful care, Huo Huang'er quickly finished washing up.

Just as she was about to get up, Gu Changsheng smiled.

"Huang'er, look."

With a thought, a large bunch of dazzling flowers appeared in Gu Changsheng's hand.

Each flower was vibrant and beautiful, with bright red roses and fresh pink and white flowers.

The entire huge bouquet had a total of 99 flowers of various kinds, like a small flower garden.

It was very beautiful.

"Do you like it?" Gu Changsheng smiled.

Although he had never been in a romantic relationship on Earth, it didn't stop him from understanding others' love affairs.

Girls always like flowers.

"Wow!!!" When Huo Huang'er saw this large bouquet of flowers, her eyes lit up. She excitedly held the flowers and said, "Husband, where did you find these flowers? They're so beautiful!!!"

Indeed, even women in the cultivation world appreciate flowers.

"Naturally, I found them myself." Gu Changsheng smiled. "To celebrate your birthday, I spent three days collecting these flowers. There are 99 different kinds of flowers in total."

"Thank you, husband!" Huo Huang'er excitedly threw herself into Gu Changsheng's arms.

Her husband was really too good to her!!!

"Come, let's go have a meal." Gu Changsheng lifted Huo Huang'er up.

Huo Huang'er thought for a moment and also held onto the flowers.

"Are you taking these with you?" Huo Huang'er nodded vigorously. "Of course I'm taking them. These were given to me by my husband. Such beautiful things, I want not only myself to see them, but also others! I want others to envy me for having such a good husband!"

"You, you." Gu Changsheng laughed and tapped Huo Huang'er's nose. "Take them, then. Let's go have a meal."

Gu Changsheng held Huo Huang'er's hand as they walked through the courtyard. The maidservants and servants who saw Huo Huang'er holding a large bouquet of flowers looked at her with envy.

Huo Huang'er felt even happier when she saw their expressions.

Women are always a bit vain.

Gu Changsheng was willing to indulge Huo Huang'er's vanity.

If he couldn't make his own wife happy, then who could he make happy?

"Oh, such a big bouquet of flowers?" When they entered the living room, Huo Jian's surprised voice sounded.

"That's right, it was given to me by my husband!" Huo Huang'er raised her head proudly.

"My son-in-law is really thoughtful. Unlike someone, who has never given me such a beautiful thing in my whole life." The mother-in-law's eyes were not as kind when she saw the flowers, but she was happy for her daughter for finding such a good husband.

Huo Feng'er, who was sitting on the side, looked at the huge bouquet of flowers with envy.

I really want it!

But when Huo Feng'er thought of what Huo Huang'er had said to her yesterday, her eyes filled with excitement. She clenched her small hand tightly, a little nervous.

Huo Jian cleared his throat. "Put the things down first, let's eat."

The family soon began to eat.

Huo Jian and his wife were still very good to Huo Huang'er. For their daughter's birthday, they prepared a lot of delicious food, including rare delicacies and even monster meat that was bought at a high price.

"Here, daughter, this is the gift I prepared for you." Huo Jian took out a beautifully wrapped gift box while eating. Inside was a huge gemstone several tens of centimeters in size, dazzling and eye-catching.

"Thank you, father." Huo Huang'er was overjoyed.

"Daughter, this is from me." The mother-in-law also gave her some cosmetics.

"Sister, mine, mine." Huo Feng'er took out a fragrant herb. "This is the Snow Lotus that I bought at a high price. It is said that eating it can maintain your youth for several years!"

Huo Huang'er accepted everything with joy in her heart.

Like her, with a noble background, besides not being able to cultivate, she doesn't have any worries in this lifetime.

"I have also prepared something good for you," Gu Changsheng smiled.

Everyone's gaze turned towards him.

They were also curious about what gift Gu Changsheng had prepared.

They were all mortals, and although the gifts they prepared looked good, they were actually quite ordinary.

Gu Changsheng was different, he was a cultivator, so the gift he prepared would definitely not be inferior.

Under everyone's anticipation, Gu Changsheng took out a beautifully packaged box.

Huo Huang'er gently opened it, revealing a talisman.

"This is a first-grade inferior body protection talisman. Even without spiritual energy, you can still use it to withstand an attack from a Qi Refining first-level cultivator."

Then, there was a silver-white inner armor, very light but with strong protection.

"This is..." Huo Huang'er was stunned, she could clearly feel that this was a good item!

"A first-grade inferior Law Weapon - Wind Thread Robe."

Gu Changsheng smiled, "This is a treasure I carefully selected for you."

Originally, he couldn't afford such a good item, but well, he had a rich wife.

A few days ago, he went to Li Pan'er again and borrowed 60 pieces of inferior spirit stones from her, which allowed him to purchase some monster blood and this Wind Thread Robe.

He now owed Li Pan'er 100 pieces of inferior spirit stones, which was really too much.

He didn't want to return any more of it...

If this rich wife really wanted to take advantage of him, then... bring it on.

He would take a loss and forget about the owed spirit stones.

As he touched the Wind Thread Robe, Huo Huang'er could clearly feel the wonderful texture it emitted.

"Husband, this... this is too precious!" Huo Huang'er was somewhat overwhelmed.

The value of this treasure was truly more expensive than her.

No matter how beautiful she was, she was just a mortal, not even worth a single piece of inferior spirit stone.

"It's not precious." Gu Changsheng shook his head slightly, "In my heart, you are the most precious. These things are not even one-tenth as precious as you."

"Husband~"

Huo Huang'er's eyes were filled with affection.

If it weren't for the presence of others, she would probably have thrown herself into Gu Changsheng's arms and started an intense workout.

"No need to thank me, it's nothing." Gu Changsheng touched Huo Huang'er's beautiful hair, his expression calm.

It was just twenty-something pieces of inferior spirit stones, it was worth it to please his wife.

"Cough cough, let's eat, let's eat." Huo Jian couldn't stand the lovey-dovey display between the two.

The family sat down and began to eat harmoniously.

After dinner, Gu Changsheng took Huo Huang'er's family out for a stroll. Of course, Huo Jian and his wife, as well as Huo Feng'er, were very tactful and kept their distance, even though they went out together.

Gu Changsheng and Huo Huang'er were happily strolling through the market.

At night, after another sumptuous dinner, Huo Jian winked at Gu Changsheng, "Son-in-law, you two have fun tonight, we won't bother you."

Huo Jian said, and quickly ran off with his wife and daughter.

Before they left, Huo Huang'er gave Huo Feng'er a meaningful look.

Huo Feng'er's expression was excited, full of anticipation.

Gu Changsheng then took Huo Huang'er back to their room.

"Husband, it's just the evening..." Huo Huang'er felt a little shy as she looked at the closed door.

"I want to give you a surprise." Gu Changsheng smiled and took off his outer garment, "This is the biggest gift I can give you."

"Gift?" Huo Huang'er was taken aback.

Could this also be considered a gift...

But since her husband had been so good to her today, she would just go along with it.

After all, she always went along with her husband's wishes.

Besides, she actually enjoyed this.

She had been looking forward to it.

Huo Huang'er took the initiative to get up.

"Husband, thank you for the gift, thank you for being good to me. Let me repay you by treating myself as a gift to you."

She gently hugged Gu Changsheng and then turned her body, placing Gu Changsheng on the bed.

Immediately after, she transformed into a caring and understanding older sister, helping Gu Changsheng remove his armor.

"My husband~~~"

Huo Huang'er called out softly.

Gu Changsheng wanted to say something.

Her head lowered.

The Huo family had skilled performers...

Before long, the two of them began their intimate exercise.

[You and your wife successfully cultivate together, gaining +16 experience points for Wood Spirit Root and Fire Spirit Root, and +16 experience points for Talisman Master.]

[Your wife's Fire Spirit Root has received a slight improvement.]

[Your wife's Fire Spirit Root has reached the level where it can awaken.]

Half an hour later, Gu Changsheng looked at Huo Huang'er, who had completely exhausted her strength, and smiled when he saw the virtual panel.

Finally!

All his efforts of infusing his "spiritual energy" into Huo Huang'er's body every day had paid off.

Now it was finally enough.

"Huang'er, do you know what gift I'm talking about?" Gu Changsheng lifted Huo Huang'er up.

"Isn't it this?" Huo Huang'er was taken aback.

She really thought this was Gu Changsheng's final gift to her, giving her something nice and then rewarding her with physical intimacy.

"Not exactly." Gu Changsheng shook his head. "Haven't you always wanted to cultivate? Now is your chance."

"W-what do you mean?" Huo Huang'er was a little stunned.

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly. "Based on my examination, you have awakened a low-grade Fire Spirit Root, which means—you can start cultivating!"

Huo Huang'er: !!!

She widened her eyes, her expression filled with astonishment.

"Husband, are you joking with me?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

"Why, why is that? I clearly couldn't cultivate!" Huo Huang'er's mind went blank.

"Before, you couldn't cultivate, but that doesn't mean you can't in the future." Gu Changsheng laughed. "But now you can."

"But I don't have a spiritual root, how did I suddenly have one?"

Gu Changsheng pointed at himself. "Naturally, it's because of your husband."

Huo Huang'er was taken aback, then she realized something important. "Is it because of our daily exercise?"

She had discovered the crucial information.

"Yes."

"Wow."

Huo Huang'er took a sharp breath.

Who exactly was her husband? Just by exercising with him, she could awaken her spiritual root?

If this information were to be revealed, it would drive all the women in the world crazy!

"Husband, are you telling the truth? Am I not dreaming?" Huo Huang'er still found it hard to accept this fact.

"It's true. I know you don't believe it, but it doesn't matter. Look at this."

Gu Changsheng reached out and a gem for testing spiritual roots appeared in his hand.

"This is something I borrowed to test spiritual roots. Place your hand on it, and it will show your situation."

Huo Huang'er extended her small hand, which was trembling. Her emotions were like turbulent waves, difficult to calm down.

Soon, her hand was placed on the gem.

[Low-grade Fire Spirit Root, approximately 19 years old.]

After seeing the words appear on the gem, Huo Huang'er fell into silence for a while, and then—

She tightly hugged Gu Changsheng, tears of excitement bursting from her eyes.

"Thank you, thank you!!!"

[Your wife's affection towards you +1, current affection level: 100.]

[Your wife 'Huo Huang'er' has reached the level of 'life and death together' in her affection towards you, successfully reaching maximum value.]

[You have obtained...]
