Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

"Honorable son-in-law, the items you entrusted me to buy are all here. It cost a total of 200 low-grade spirit stones and I purchased 20 liters of monster beast blood."

As Huo Jian entered a sealed room, a strong smell of blood instantly filled his nostrils.

In front of them, there was a huge wooden barrel filled with fresh blood.

Gu Changsheng stepped forward and could clearly feel the strands of spiritual energy contained within the monster beast blood.

"Thank you, Father-in-law," Gu Changsheng smiled and said to Huo Jian.

"Hey, we are family, no need to be polite," Huo Jian waved his hand casually. "Son-in-law, I have something else to attend to, so I'll leave this place to you."

"Father-in-law, take care," Gu Changsheng nodded as Huo Jian left the room and closed the door behind him.

The entire room fell silent in an instant.

Looking at the barrel of monster beast blood in front of him, Gu Changsheng felt a sense of excitement.

He had been waiting for so long to finally be able to use the 'Blood Demon Body Tempering Technique'!

"Ah, why is monster beast blood so expensive?" Gu Changsheng sighed.

It cost 200 low-grade spirit stones to purchase only 20 liters of monster beast blood.

If he hadn't recently come into some money, he wouldn't have been able to afford it!

"Let's begin cultivation. I can't let these 200 low-grade spirit stones go to waste," Gu Changsheng took a deep breath, his eyes becoming serious.

He placed his hand on the fresh blood and started to activate the Blood Demon Body Tempering Technique.

Boom!

As the technique was activated, the blood in the wooden barrel seemed to boil and roll violently, then flowed towards his body.

Hoo!

In the next moment, the monster beast blood touched his body, giving him an extremely scorching sensation. It felt as if his body was being boiled, his skin turning red, and he felt like a shrimp being cooked.

Intense pain!

The pain of his skin being torn apart kept coming, tormenting Gu Changsheng's soul.

"I must endure!" Gu Changsheng clenched his fist tightly, his expression fierce after feeling the intense pain.

This kind of pain couldn't stop him from becoming stronger!

As the blood continued to be absorbed into his body, Gu Changsheng could feel his physical strength increasing.

He didn't know how long it had been, maybe a few minutes, maybe more than ten minutes, or even several hours, when Gu Changsheng suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"First level of Body Refining, form!"

Boom!

The last strand of blood was injected into Gu Changsheng's body, causing a tremendous change in his entire physique.

His skin turned extremely red, and a layer of red mysterious elements appeared on the surface of his skin.

He punched his own arm, and it felt as if he was hitting steel, without any effect at all.

"Hiss! Is this the terror of the first level of Body Refining? It's truly terrifying! Now, relying solely on my physical body, I can defeat a cultivator at the first level of Qi Refining! It won't be a problem to fight against the second level of Qi Refining!"

Gu Changsheng was overjoyed.

The power of the Blood Demon Body Tempering Technique was indeed terrifying.

Unfortunately--

The expenses are still quite substantial.

He looked at the dried-up wooden barrel with some helplessness.

The blood of the monster that he bought for two hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones can only allow him to reach the first level of Body Refining!

You should know that two hundred pieces of low-grade spirit stones are enough for a cultivator to cultivate to the third level of Qi Refining!

But thinking about the power of Body Refining, Gu Changsheng felt that the money was well spent.

"This won't do. Even if I can continuously make talismans to earn spirit stones, it will affect my cultivation and dual cultivation efficiency. But if I don't have money, I can't improve my Body Refining strength."

Gu Changsheng sighed helplessly.

The path of cultivation is truly difficult!

"Perhaps I should go out and kill some monsters myself? This way, I can save money and also train my combat experience." Gu Changsheng frowned and contemplated.

He is currently only at the second level of Qi Refining, and his strength is too weak. Going to the wilderness to find monsters would easily turn him into monster dung.

"If only there was a big shot willing to take me out, accompany me to hunt monsters, find some adventures, and get some monster blood." Gu Changsheng said with a smile.

This is just wishful thinking.

If he were a peerless genius, it would be possible, but he is currently just a "son-in-law" of the Huo family. Even though he has two high-grade spiritual roots, it is still not enough.

After all, he is not a true member of the Huo family, and they are not so confident in him.

After they found out that Gu Changsheng had good talent, they wouldn't fully cultivate him. Instead, they would find more wives for him, even wishing to send a hundred of them over. This way, they would definitely be able to give birth to offspring with good spiritual roots!

Gu Changsheng walked out of the room as if nothing had happened.

By now, the sky was already slightly dark, around eight or nine o'clock in the evening.

"It's late, time to sleep." Gu Changsheng chuckled.

But suddenly, he remembered something, causing him to stop in his tracks.

"Today is already ten days later, I should first send some talismans to Li Pan'er."

When he borrowed spirit stones from Li Pan'er some time ago, Gu Changsheng promised to send her some talismans to repay the debt in ten days.

Today happened to be the tenth day.

Although Li Pan'er wouldn't say anything if he didn't go today and went tomorrow instead, Gu Changsheng was an honest young man and valued integrity.

Li Pan'er is a wealthy woman, and it's easy to get along with her. It would be easier to borrow more spirit stones from her in the future!

Gu Changsheng got up and walked out of the courtyard.

...

"Boss, are you not going back today?"

Inside the Li family's talisman shop, the beautiful ice-cold woman asked Li Pan'er, who was reading attentively.

"No rush." Li Pan'er focused on her book and didn't even lift her head.

"It's so late, and no one else is coming. We might as well close the shop and leave." The ice-cold woman said as she prepared to close the shop.

"No, someone will come."

The ice-cold woman was taken aback, and suddenly, she thought of something. "Will Gu Changsheng come?"

Li Pan'er smiled, "Yes, today is the day he promised to bring talismans to repay the debt."

"Why hasn't he come yet, even though it's so late? Is Gu Changsheng deceiving—"

"This lady, Gu Changsheng is very particular about integrity." Suddenly, a voice sounded.

A handsome young man walked in from the door.
