Longevity Immortal Fate: Begins with Dao Companion

"Congratulations, young master."

Li Pan'er walked up behind Gu Changsheng and giggled.

Gu Changsheng has become stronger, and she is genuinely happy for him.

They can now be said to share the same glory.

When one becomes stronger, it is a good thing for the other.

But the crucial thing is that their relationship is not as intimate as it seems.

It feels strange.

The two of them haven't addressed this issue.

"Only at the second level of Body Refining, the progress is still too slow, and I've lost my blood as well." Gu Changsheng said with little excitement, shaking his head helplessly.

He broke through to the second level of Body Refining by using the blood of several demonic beasts and the blood of a tiger demon.

So much blood could only elevate him to the second level of Body Refining.

How much more blood would it take to reach the third level of Body Refining?

"It's alright. After I fully recover, we can go on a killing spree in the Sunset Demon Forest." Li Pan'er smiled. "Besides, I have money. The blood of demonic beasts is neither expensive nor cheap. When we go back, I can buy a large batch of blood to enhance our strength."

Gu Changsheng rubbed his hands eagerly. "That would be embarrassing."

Li Pan'er gave him a disdainful look.

You're being a little too modest!

Gu Changsheng finally understood the benefits of having a powerful backer.

As for Ji Wenxiang—

He still needed to observe whether this backer was reliable.

For now, it seemed like a reliable backer, but not strong enough.

Apologies to the identity of a Gold Core stage cultivator.

"By the way, where is the Golden Bamboo Liquid?" Gu Changsheng curiously asked.

"Here." Li Pan'er extended her small hand.

The Golden Bamboo Liquid appeared.

A faint fragrance emanated from it, making people unable to resist the urge to taste it.

"Good, we've obtained the item." Gu Changsheng smiled.

Although the process was quite tortuous, and they almost lost their lives, fortunately, they still had the item.

"Ah." Li Pan'er looked at the Golden Bamboo Liquid with mixed emotions. "This is only a first-grade resource, and it almost cost us dearly. If it were a more precious treasure, we would have faced even more brutal pursuit."

Gu Changsheng smiled faintly. "Just like Ji Wenxiang."

Ji Wenxiang: ???

Are you being polite?

"Pfft." Li Pan'er giggled. "You, my disciple, are really something. How can you make fun of your own master like that?"

"Just stating a fact. My master obtained the inheritance of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator but was pursued by more than five Gold Core stage cultivators. We were only pursued by a Qi Refining ninth level cultivator, which shows that we are still quite lucky."

Li Pan'er gave Gu Changsheng a disdainful look.

The young master knows how to comfort people.

He can make even such things sound pleasant.

"You can absorb it now." Li Pan'er nodded. "Indeed, I can absorb it now."

She looked at the Golden Bamboo Liquid, emotions brewing within her.

She had sacrificed too much for this thing.

If it didn't have a good effect, she would truly feel sorry.

Li Pan'er took a deep breath, picked up the Golden Bamboo Liquid, and swallowed it.

Boom!

In the instant she swallowed it, Gu Changsheng could feel a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupting from her body.

That surge of spiritual energy raged within Li Pan'er's body, not only enhancing her strength but also having other effects on her physique.

Li Pan'er immersed herself in the effects of absorbing the Golden Bamboo Liquid.

Gu Changsheng, bored, began cultivating as well.

...

Boom!

A tremendously powerful aura emanated from beside him, causing Gu Changsheng to open his eyes involuntarily.

Li Pan'er's expression was somewhat solemn, sweat dripping from her forehead, as if she was doing something difficult.

After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes, her aura undergoing a drastic change, becoming much stronger.

"Ninth level of Qi Refining?" Gu Changsheng looked at her and asked.

Li Pan'er was overjoyed. "Yes, the ninth level of Qi Refining!"

"Congratulations, congratulations," Gu Changsheng said with a smile.

The effect of the Golden Bamboo Liquid is indeed remarkable. It is truly a resource that Li Pan'er risked her life to obtain.

Not only did it enhance her strength, but it also directly helped her reach the ninth level of Qi Refining.

"This thing truly lives up to the opportunity I calculated for ten years. Its effect is indeed remarkable," Li Pan'er shook her head.

"Has your spiritual root foundation been repaired?" Gu Changsheng asked.

"It has been repaired."

Gu Changsheng fell silent for a moment and asked, "How did your spiritual root foundation get damaged?"

Li Pan'er fell into silence.

After a long time, she smiled bitterly. "Young master, I know you care about me, but this matter—let's not ask about it."

Gu Changsheng nodded.

It seems that Li Pan'er still has many secrets.

"Since you don't want to say, I won't ask anymore."

"When the time is right, I will naturally tell you. It's not that I intentionally hide it from you, but it's useless to say it now," Li Pan'er sighed.

Gu Changsheng said seriously, "Alright, I'll wait for the day when you voluntarily tell me. If someone has harmed you, tell me when I have the strength, and I will help you seek revenge."

Li Pan'er's heart warmed, and she covered her mouth as she chuckled. "Young master, why are you so good to me? Are you planning something sinister against me?"

"Yes, I am planning something against you," Gu Changsheng said seriously.

Li Pan'er was taken aback.

"Are you serious?"

Gu Changsheng nodded, "Do I look fake to you?"

Li Pan'er fell into silence again.

Finally, she placed her hand on her own clothes.

She was about to press down with her hand, but when she removed some of her clothes, a hand held her back.

Li Pan'er looked at Gu Changsheng in confusion.

"Are you not trying to take advantage of me, little husband?"

Gu Changsheng said seriously, "I am indeed attracted to you, but I am not simply interested in your body. I am interested in you as a person, in your heart."

Li Pan'er was shaken.

"You, you..."

Looking into Gu Changsheng's eyes, she could tell that he was not lying.

Finally, Li Pan'er smiled bitterly, "Little husband, little husband, why do you have to pursue my heart? It would be enough to pursue me as a person. Pursuing anything else would be too difficult, especially with the Huo family around."

"And..."

"It's alright." Gu Changsheng reached out and covered her mouth. "No matter who stands in our way, I will handle it."

Li Pan'er looked at him for a long time and nodded firmly. "Yes, I believe you!"

After a moment of silence, Li Pan'er continued, "Little husband, how about you... take my first..."

Gu Changsheng shook his head. "No."

Although he really wanted to.

But he also wanted to marry her.

He couldn't admit this privately.

He had to marry her properly.

That was still difficult.

After all, Li Pan'er had other difficulties and couldn't marry him for the time being.

But it was alright, Gu Changsheng could wait.

The two fell into silence.

With this conversation, the relationship between the two was finally revealed.

"Little husband."

"Yes?"

"This is for you."

Suddenly, Li Pan'er took out some Golden Bamboo Liquid.

"How do you still have some?" Gu Changsheng was curious.

Wasn't all the Golden Bamboo Liquid swallowed by Li Pan'er?

Then what was left...

Gu Changsheng looked at Li Pan'er's lips.

Li Pan'er smiled slightly at him. "Don't guess, it's just as you thought."

Gu Changsheng held the Golden Bamboo Liquid and fell into silence.

"What's wrong, little husband? Aren't you interested in me? Why are you still rejecting me?" Li Pan'er asked.

Gu Changsheng didn't say anything and swallowed the Golden Bamboo Liquid.

"I don't reject it, I just like imported things."

"Oh~~~" Li Pan'er pretended to be disgusted, but she was actually very happy.

Gu Changsheng really didn't reject her.

It meant that he really liked her!

He wasn't lying!

Boom!!

As the Golden Bamboo Liquid entered his mouth, Gu Changsheng felt as if a spiritual bomb exploded inside his body, with boundless energy surging within him.

"Quick, cultivate!" Li Pan'er's voice sounded.

Gu Changsheng hurriedly closed his eyes and focused, crazily activating the Ninth Dao Chapter.

Li Pan'er took out one spiritual stone after another and placed them beside him.

Then, following a special method, she formed a small Spirit Gathering Formation.

She had some understanding of formations and could set up some low-grade formations.

Powerful energy surged within Gu Changsheng's body, but as he continued to activate the Ninth Dao Chapter, that energy quickly stabilized and transformed into his own energy!

After an unknown amount of time, Gu Changsheng felt that the spiritual energy in his body had reached a certain limit.

"Little husband, give it your all, you can break through!" Li Pan'er said.

She felt a bit emotional. Little husband's talent was really good. He had just broken through to the third level of Qi Refining, and now he was about to break through again. But it also proved that resources were very important in cultivation!

As long as the resources were in place, cultivation would be much more efficient.

Gu Changsheng took a deep breath and began to gather all the spiritual energy.

"Break through for me!!!"

The spiritual energy surged and attacked the shackles within his body, but breaking through was not so simple.

After all, he was already at the third level of Qi Refining, and he wanted to break through to the fourth level, which was already the mid-stage of Qi Refining. It was a threshold in cultivation.

But it didn't matter, Gu Changsheng already had double top-grade spiritual roots, he had talent.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The spiritual energy continuously attacked. Suddenly, Gu Changsheng's eyes narrowed, "Break through!!!"

Boom!

The spiritual energy burst out, this time, it was not blocked anymore, it was unstoppable.

Gu Changsheng seemed to have entered a whole new realm.

Boundless power emanated from his limbs and bones.

Fourth level of Qi Refining, success!
