Concubines Lead to Strength: The Path to Immortality Begins with Taking a Spouse

"Indeed it was quite sudden, I beg your forgiveness!"

Gu Yixiao stood beside his son, clasping his fists in a salute.

"Hehe..."

"What initiation gift, it should be the Master who gives his disciple."

"I didn't bring much with me this time."

"This Earth Rank lower grade Flying Sword was used by me in my youth, if you don't despise it, you can take it."

Sage Zhao silently waited for him to finish the salute and then said with a chuckle.

As he spoke, he took out an Earth Rank lower grade Flying Sword and gestured for Changming to take it.

"This..."

Changming looked timidly at his father, but Gu Yixiao was also nervous facing an Elder of Sage Realm from the Sword Sect and did not dare to speak out of turn.

In the end, it was Changge who casually said, "Take it, it's all Senior Zhao's kindness."

With his cousin speaking up, Changming immediately found his resolve and quickly accepted the Earth Rank lower grade Flying Sword.

Once again, he bowed respectfully to Sage Zhao, "Disciple thanks Master!"

This scene made the other Gu Family Disciples so envious that they almost cried.

Just like that, he became the direct disciple of an Elder from the Sword Sect's Holy Land?

Without any cost and even received an Earth Rank lower grade Magic Treasure as a reward.

From now on, he would have the qualifications to cultivate at the Sword Sect...

But even with their envy, there was nothing they could do.

After all, who let Changming be born from the same line as the Young Master?

Envy was useless...

"When I go to the Sword Sect, I will take you with me."

Changge, who was busy with other matters, simply mentioned this to his cousin.

"Yes!" Changming nodded repeatedly, his cousin now seemed like a true deity in his heart!

Just a single sentence had changed his destiny!

Cultivating in the Holy Land of Central State was definitely different from staying in the Gu Family!

He himself, with his talent, would never have been accepted into the Holy Land; they wouldn't even deign to glance at him.

It was all thanks to his cousin!

"The wife has also arrived, let's go."

Changge looked toward Wang Yue and Yuan Youbai, who had just finished packing their things and were coming out from the Inner Court.

He did not delay any longer.

With a Sage Realm cultivator present, they naturally did not need to rush on their journey.

With a wave of his hand, Sage Zhao took out a medium-sized Flying Boat.

The boat could easily accommodate a hundred people or more.

And from its appearance, it seemed extremely luxurious, with many Arrays carved upon it, clearly different from those in the Northern Domain.

Especially since it bore the flag of the Sword Sect, even in Central State, few would dare to brazenly attack a Sword Sect Flying Boat.

Sage Jian Chen curled his lip, resenting his habit of not carrying a Flying Boat.

He let Zhao steal the limelight again.

This wouldn't do...

At this rate, wouldn't he be seen as useless in the eyes of the Young Master, perhaps even less so than Zhao Hai, who was of a lower Realm?

Changge didn't notice these things and lightly stepped onto the Flying Boat.

Wang Yue, holding Yuan Youbai's hand, also gracefully rose into the air with a light tap of her feet, landing steadily beside her husband.

With the Gu Family seeing them off respectfully, the Flying Boat turned into a beam of light and shot into the sky!

When a Sage Realm cultivator personally operated the Flying Boat, it was much faster than usual.

As for the rules of Gu Family's main city not allowing aerial travel or the Flying Boats having to dock in fixed areas...

In the presence of the Young Master, such rules naturally did not apply.

If he wished, even if he dismantled the Council Hall to build a docking station for Flying Boats, the Elders would have to clap and praise, "Young Master has done a splendid job!"

...

The Flying Boat was spacious, with cabins and almost ten rooms.

However, Changge did not enter the cabin; instead, he stood quietly at the edge, looking out at the scenery of the Northern Domain.

He never really had the chance to appreciate it before.

Yuan Youbai was curiously looking around on the Flying Boat; she had never ridden a human Flying Boat before!

"Cough... My Lord, I also wish to take a disciple."

"I wonder if you could recommend a suitable candidate?"

Today's events had given Sage Jian Chen a sense of urgency!

He could not help but step forward to ask proactively, hands clasped before him.

"If Senior Jian Chen has the intention of accepting a disciple, indeed there is someone suitable..."

Changge understood his intentions; the Senior had brought it up, and there indeed was an appropriate person...

"Oh?"

"That would be wonderful!"

Sage Jian Chen's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

"However, he is currently in Duanbei City; let's wait until affairs in the Imperial City are settled before I introduce him to the Senior."

Changge smiled slightly, remembering that Qian Jun had always wanted to follow him to the Central State Sword Sect and serve him.

Although now, he might not be of much help to him.

But he could still promote him; in the future, he would be a pillar of the Gu Family.

To move the vast Gu Family to Central State relied upon more than just him; it was exhausting.

He needed to cultivate some people from the Gu Family, let them gain enough capability so that he could rest easy.

"Good to hear, good to hear..."

Sage Jian Chen felt relieved as if a weight had been lifted off his chest.

At least he couldn't fall too far behind Elder Zhao, lest when they reached the Sword Sect, the Young Master might think he was useless and would always assign tasks only to Elder Zhao.

That would render him completely useless!

Wang Yue leaned her arms on the edge of the Flying Boat, propping her face with one hand, and tilted her head to always gaze at her husband's visage.

"Why?"

Changge turned his head slightly to meet her gaze.

"It's nothing, just that the more I look at my husband, the less I grow tired of it."

"The more I look, the more handsome he appears..."

Wang Yue narrowed her eyes and smiled.

She couldn't help but think that her father, the Emperor, had spent years working connections to send his elder brother, the Crown Prince, to the Holy Land as a direct disciple, at the cost of countless benefits and sacrifices.

But for her husband...

It was just a single sentence.

No... it wasn't even his own initiative; it was an Elder from the Sword Sect's Holy Land who offered to take a disciple.
