150,000 Attribute Points, Wife You Smell So Good!

“It’s indeed the Gu Family from Qingzhou…”

“But I still don’t understand, what do you mean, elder?”

Gu Wanquan also noticed that the other party seemed to be showing goodwill towards him.

But he couldn’t figure out why.

He had just asked him for a favor fee, and now he was suddenly showing goodwill just because of the Northern Domain’s Gu Family?

What about the Gu Family?

After arriving in Central State, he first found a city to stay in for a while to understand the various forces of Central State before heading straight to the Sword Sect.

“Is it the Gu Family from Qingzhou?”

“What’s the name of your Young Master?” Sage Zhao asked with a face full of suspicion.

The Young Master of the Northern Domain’s Gu Family, directly appointed as the Sword Sect’s Saint? This big news, by now, isn’t there hardly anyone in Central State who doesn’t know it!

As a Ninth Grade member of the Gu Family, how could he possibly not know?

For a moment, he even began to doubt the other’s identity. Could he be so bold as to deliberately pose as someone from the Gu Family?

“My Young Master’s name is Gu Changge.”

“His grandfather, Gu Kuang, and I guarded Duanbei City together for several decades, and we have a very good relationship.”

“May I ask the elder, did my Young Master Gu get into some trouble?”

Gu Wanquan was slightly coming to a realization, and after answering his questions, he couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s more than just some trouble…”

“He is our Sword Sect’s Saint!”

“He is treated the same as those at the First Saint Son Peak!”

“Since you are from the Gu Family, how could you not know?”

Seeing him speak so confidently, and with such self-assurance, Sage Zhao had no choice but to tell him the real situation.

To his surprise, upon hearing this, Gu Wanquan turned to stone.

What did he hear?

“Elder, please say it again, I think I heard wrong…”

It took Gu Wanquan a moment, and then he stuttered his question.

“You heard right, the Young Master of the Gu Family, is already our Sword Sect’s Saint.” Thanks for reading on ManaNovel!

Seeing him so shocked, Sage Zhao could only say it again.

“…”

“I don’t think I’ve been in closed-door cultivation for just a few days.”

“Has it been a long time?”

“Ten years? Eight years?”

“How has Changge already become a Sword Sect’s Saint?”

At this moment, Gu Wanquan’s mind was a mess; he even began to doubt if he had forgotten the time during his seclusion.

“It happened a month ago.”

“Moreover, the Saint is still in the Northern Domain, he hasn’t come to the Sword Sect yet.”

Sage Zhao opened his mouth to remind him.

“This is too… too unbelievable.”

Finally, when Gu Wanquan was sent out of the grand hall holding his own red Tributor Waist Card, and a Storage Pouch full of top-grade Spirit Stones, along with a bottle of Earth Rank Elixir.

He felt like he was dreaming…

That child Changge, had already become a Sword Sect’s Saint…

“This… this…”

He stood there for a long time, unable to digest this massive influx of information.

Even as the Elder led him to choose a cave dwelling, he walked as if he were a walking corpse.

It was only after the Elder bid farewell, mentioning that if he ever needed help within the Sect, he could reach him through the Communication Jade Token.

Only then did he come back to his senses.

To think, Changge, that child was in the Northern Domain, yet he was already enjoying his special care…

Gu Wanquan sighed deeply and settled down in the cave dwelling.

What he didn’t expect was that in just a few days, several Sword Sect Elders would visit, wanting to form a good relationship with him.

He understood that it was not because he was strong or had anything special.

It was entirely because of that child Changge…

These people, all wanted to curry favor with this yet-to-arrive Quasi-Saint of the Sword Sect!

…

[Northern Domain·Gu Family Inner Court]

Gu Changge arrived at the elder’s courtyard; the courtyard door was not closed.

“My good boy, come here and let me take a look at you.”

Gu Kuang’s voice, filled with surprise, came through, even stepping forward to greet him.

Seeing his grandson already at the Mid-Stage of the Void Refinement Realm, impressive in bearing,

he laughed heartily, patting his grandson’s shoulder with a face full of satisfaction.

“Come in.”

“Don’t stand outside.”

As Gu Changge entered the courtyard, he pointed at the special iron cage in the corner a bit embarrassedly and said, “This old man is useless, only managed to bring back these few little Demon Beasts for you.”

“But after this banquet, let’s go to Duanbei City, I’ll definitely help catch more Demon Beasts for my grandson.”

Looking at the five Void Refinement Realm and one Infinite Realm Demon Beasts, Gu Changge shook his head and said, “You’ve worked hard.”

“This is already quite rare.”

“Even the Ancestor, last time he came back from Duanbei City, only brought back two Infinite Realm Demon Beasts.”

With his grandson’s consolation, he then regained his smile and promised that next time, he would definitely bring back more.

In order to cover for his grandson, he had Gu Qianjun dismissed early to help arrange the banquet.

Only the two of them remained in the courtyard, and with a wave of his hand, Gu Kuang activated the Isolation Array.

“If you think it’s inappropriate, shall we bring these Demon Beasts to the Back Mountain?”

Gu Kuang asked very cautiously.

His grandson’s ability should not be easily exposed.

This was his grandson’s future capital and also the Gu Family’s chance to rise!

“It’s fine, even if someone sees, they won’t detect anything.”

Gu Changge waved his hand, indicating that the elder needn’t be too nervous.

Facing those Demon Beasts, he directly raised his hand and condensed six bolts of Tribulation Lightning, then transformed them into the shape of Flying Swords, enhancing them with Sword Force.

‘Whoosh—’

As the sounds of tearing through the air rose, the Flying Swords precisely struck each Demon Beast right between their eyebrows.

The power of the Heavenly Tribulation, which annihilates everything, exploded inside the bodies of the Demon Beasts, instantly annihilating their Divine Souls!

[Host kills Demon Beasts: Void Refinement Realm x5, reward Attribute Points: fifty thousand.]

[Host kills Demon Beast: Infinite Realm x1, reward Attribute Points: one hundred thousand.]

[Total Attribute Points gained: one hundred fifty thousand]

[Remaining Attribute Points of Host: one hundred eighty thousand]

With several system prompt sounds, Gu Changge also cracked a slight smile.

The issue of attribute point shortfall had been resolved.

180,000 attribute points, if exchanged for third-grade Elixirs, could also increase ninety attribute points.

It was enough for him to enhance both his Root Bone and Comprehension, and even reaching the Small Success Saint Body at the eight-hundred mark was not a problem anymore!

“This is…”

“What kind of method?”

Gu Kuang stared dumbfounded at the young cultivator, having just felt a breath that even he, a practitioner of the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, found heart-palpitating.

He had intended to help the young cultivator handle a Seventh Grade Demon Beast, yet in the blink of an eye, the beast had been directly killed by the young one!

Even though he had controlled the Demon Beast, it was after all a Seventh Grade!

However, in the young cultivator’s hands, it was as fragile as tofu?

“Heavenly Tribulation Power.”

Gu Changge explained casually with a slight smile.

“Heaven… Heavenly Tribulation!?”

Gu Kuang widened his eyes, no wonder even his Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm self instinctively feared that emitted aura.

So it was the Heavenly Tribulation Power!

But… was the Heavenly Tribulation Power really something a person could command?

Since when had the young cultivator mastered such a terrifying method?

Though he was infinitely curious, he did not ask it aloud.

The young cultivator had too many secrets, but as long as the young one did not speak of them himself, he would not inquire further, knowing fewer people benefited the young one for sure.

“Did you acquire the origin power?”

Gu Kuang chose to change the subject and asked with concern.

“I have.”

Gu Changge nodded slightly and spoke, “In a few days, I will bring you more Elixirs.”

“No, no need.”

“Focus on yourself first.”

“I, the old man, am not in a rush now. After breaking through to the Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm, my body is in good condition, I can easily live another thousand years without a problem!”

“When you achieve something in the future, if you have spare capacity, then help me enhance further; I might even have a chance to break through the Ninth Grade bottleneck.”

“Even just this state now, this lifetime is worth it—Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm!”

Gu Kuang waved his hands repeatedly, speaking earnestly.

If the young cultivator brought Elixirs for him, he would truly be anxious.

He had gone to Duanbei City to help the young cultivator acquire origin power so he could further his enhancements!

Not for himself.

If it weren’t for the young cultivator, he might already be buried by now.

Now, being able to break through to Ninth Grade Annihilation Realm was already a huge stroke of fortune!

How could he ask for more?

“This…”

“Alright then!”

Seeing the old man’s unequivocal expression, Gu Changge did not insist further.

However, in the future, he would definitely have to help the old man enhance his Root Bone. When the attribute points were plentiful, he could even construct an Acquired Dao Body for the old man!

Even his Uncle and Cousin Changming, all should be helped to enhance in the future!

“Hehe…”

“That’s right.”

“You are now the Saint Heir of the Sword Sect, soon you should be heading to Central State.”

“There’s little we can help you with at that time.”

“If we can assist a bit now, let it also comfort this old man.”

“Knowing I am not completely useless.”

Gu Kuang watched the young cultivator with satisfaction.

The two sat in the pavilion, chatting for a while.

Afraid of delaying any of the young cultivator’s matters, Gu Kuang expressed that he felt a bit tired and asked him to leave.

After the young cultivator left, Gu Kuang’s mouth did not close for a while.

His eyes brimming with pride and contentment, feeling his life was fulfilled.

As Gu Changge left, before even returning to his Young Master Palace, he felt the Communication Jade Token slightly emitting a fluctuation.

Upon taking it out, his eyes lit up.

“The Wife has also arrived.”

On the Jade Talisman was a message from Qingqing, stating she had already arrived at the Gu Family’s main city.

He decided not to wait and directly went towards the location where the Flying Boat was docked in the main city.

However, as soon as he had left the mansion, despite having swiftly flown off,

many had still noticed him.

They excitedly shouted, “That’s Young Master Gu, the one who entered the Sword Sect’s Holy Land and became a Saint!”

“Truly an extraordinary emanation, he’s obviously not an ordinary person, but a dragon among men!”

“That is the pride of all cultivators in the Northern Domain, being in the Northern Domain stirs the competition of the Four Great Sacred Lands for him, even bestowing the position of Saint!”

“If only I had half, no, one-tenth of Young Master Gu’s abilities, why would I still be stuck unable to breakthrough from the Fifth-grade Ruins Realm to the Sixth Grade?”

“I really don’t understand how there were rumors before that Young Master Gu could not cultivate. I’ve always felt that Young Master Gu is not a trivial character!”

“Sixth Grade Refining Void Realm, only twenty years old, he would probably count as a top-tier genius even in Central State, wouldn’t he?”

“I suspect that the eighteen years Young Master Gu couldn’t cultivate was all fabricated by the Gu Family to hide his talents!”

In front of Gu Family Mansion, many cultivators looked eagerly at that departing figure.

Gu Sanfeng initially felt a bit guilty when he saw his grand nephew, almost hiding the gifts he received.

But hearing these discussions, he couldn’t help but smirk.

“Really enough…”

“Indeed, once someone has strength, people naturally fabricate anything reasonable for you.”

“Eighteen years without cultivation, how could old men not know whether it’s true…”

“Now it’s turned into a rumor intentionally concealed by the Gu Family.”

“Tsk, it’s laughable.”

“I’ve long felt my grand nephew is an exceptional being, I really admire these people.”

Gu Sanfeng disdainfully listened to their conversations.

Over a year ago, when outsiders mentioned his grand nephew, they used to call him the Gu Family’s waste.

Just blessed to live freely for a lifetime as a member of the direct lineage.

But now what?

Everyone acts as though they knew it all along, saying they’ve always felt he was extraordinary.

What’s this if not a jest?

But why did my great-nephew run off so fast, and where to?

“Forget it. It doesn’t matter.”

“Cough cough, hey, hey, why are you stuffing Spirit Stones into my hand? Enough, enough, the Spirit Stones won’t fit anymore. Do you have any Elixirs?”

Gu Sanfeng continued to strive for his future life of prosperity!

At the mooring site for Flying Boats in the main city, it’s usually empty.

But now, there’s hardly any space left.

Thankfully, the Heavenly Cold Sect and the Northern Domain Royal Family had already reserved spots for them in advance.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been anywhere for the Flying Boats of the Heavenly Cold Sect to dock, and they’d have to stop outside the city.

Liu Qingqing stood at the edge of the Flying Boat, looking down at the bustling Gu Family’s main city, her lips curving into a slight smile.

All these people had come for her husband.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she spotted a figure.

It was her husband, coming for her!

With a light tap of her toes, Liu Qingqing soared into the air like a Fairy, flying to meet him.

“Husband…”

As the two approached each other amidst all the staring eyes, Liu Qingqing revealed a rarely seen beautiful smile.

“Wife, you must be tired from the journey?”

Gu Changge reached out to tidy her wind-blown hair, smiling tenderly.

“Not tired at all, seeing Husband makes all the weariness go away.”

Liu Qingqing shook her head, her own hand brushing her hair back, her eyes never leaving her husband’s gaze.

“Cough cough…”

“You young people and your lovey-dovey talk should take it home, with so many people watching here.”

Suddenly a familiar voice came through, as the Sixth Elder of the Heavenly Cold Sect awkwardly looked at the two.

As for the many Disciples of the Heavenly Cold Sect, they enviably watched Senior Sister Liu.

Especially the Female Disciples, their eyes almost turned into little hearts when they saw the real Gu Changge.

Young Master Gu indeed was not only powerful in strength and Talent but also handsome!

No wonder he could bewitch the Saintess like this.

Alas, they couldn’t catch his eye…

Even Zhu Qin silently observed the scene, feeling envious in her heart.

She inwardly sighed at how fortunate Junior Sister Liu was.

“Seen the Elder.”

Reminded by the comment, Gu Changge came to his senses and offered a slight bow to him.

And from the Flying Boat stepped another figure, Wan Shan Taoist, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Cold Sect.

“Seen the senior.”

Gu Changge then turned to the Wan Shan Taoist with a light smile and a slight bow, as this was Qingqing’s Master.

“Young Master Gu is too kind…”

Wan Shan Taoist also returned the gesture, not daring to put on airs.

This Young Master Gu’s identity was now extraordinary.

He couldn’t presume to receive such courtesy.

“You two haven’t seen each other for many days, no need to mind us too much.”

“You can go ahead.”

Wan Shan Taoist said with a smile to Gu Changge and Liu Qingqing, then proceeded to dock the Flying Boat and prepare to head to the Gu Family Mansion under the arrangement of the Gu Family’s Deacon.

Hearing this, Gu Changge didn’t hesitate.

He immediately took his Wife’s tender, boneless hand and, amid many envious and admiring gazes, flew back directly to the mansion.

To avoid drawing too much attention, he simply bypassed the main gate and flew over the mansion.

“Tsk, this kid, he’s getting more and more unruly.”

“Even as the Family Head, I wouldn’t dare to enter the house like that.”

Seeing this, Gu Sanfeng commented with a twitch of his mouth.

The rules of the Gu Family were strict, even a Deacon couldn’t be so casual.

But while he complained, accepting gifts was still necessary.

As for the other Deacons, they modestly bowed in the direction Young Master Gu had left.

The Young Master, not even using the main door? Even if he were to tear down the Gu Family Mansion, it would still be fine!

They’d even help with the fear that the Young Master might become tired!

…

Liu Qingqing let her Husband lead her, alighting in front of Young Master Palace.

As the two entered, enveloped by the familiar aura, Yuan Youbai immediately poked her head out of her room.

“Sister Saintess!”

Seeing that it was indeed Sister Saintess, Little Hanhan came running over and hugged Liu Qingqing like an accessory.

“Alright, alright.”

“You should go Cultivate now.”

Wang Yue also approached, greeting Liu Qingqing with a light laugh and a nod.

Then mercilessly plucked Yuan Youbai off her, holding her by the collar and suspending her in the air.

“Youbai just woke up…”

Yuan Youbai swung around to face Wang Yue and earnestly stated.

“No, it’s time for you to Cultivate again.”

“Go eat some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, and then go to sleep.”

Wang Yue said this and promptly led her back to Youbai’s room, watching her reluctantly stuff a handful of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into her mouth, reluctantly lying on the bed to sleep and digest.

Only then did she leave reassured.

Blinking at Lord Jun, she directly entered the Seclusion Room.

Leaving Lord Jun alone with Liu Qingqing…

After many days apart, Lord Jun surely wanted some alone time with Qingqing.

“She’s so sensible…”

Gu Changge couldn’t help but give a thumbs up; Yue’er was truly understanding!

“Husband…”

Liu Qingqing clearly understood Wang Yue’s intention.

She murmured “Husband,” her ears blushing with shyness.

“Wife, you smell so good…”

“You look, very delicious.”

Gu Changge whispered into her ear, inhaling softly, then murmuring to her blushing earlobe.
