Chapter 22: Double Enhancement, Sky-controlling Realm!

Gu Changge bid farewell to the Family Head, intending to find his third uncle to inquire about the specifics of marriage.

However, he didn't see his third uncle anywhere and had to give up the idea.

Returning to his Back Mountain Courtyard, he found dinner conveniently taken care of by dealing simply with the Green Bamboo Snake; he boiled it into a soup!

The taste of a second-order Demon Beast was indeed exquisitely delicious, and it even had the effect of strengthening the physique for a cultivator at the Qi Condensation Realm, truly a great nourishment.

After quickly filling his stomach, he didn't choose to sleep but, just like the previous two nights, sat cross-legged on the cushion in the courtyard and began his cultivation.

Ever since he successfully began cultivating, he noticed a problem.

Compared to sleeping, cultivating actually provided better restoration for his spirit. Normally, sleeping as a mortal also meant recovering from physical and mental exhaustion.

For a cultivator, while cultivating, the nourishment from Spiritual Energy for the body and Divine Sense brought about an even better recovery effect.

Unless it was a critical moment for a breakthrough, normal cultivation was actually quite relaxing.

In the blink of an eye, a full night had passed in cultivation.

The sunlight falling upon him also signaled the end of his cultivation.

His Qi Condensation Realm Ninth Heaven level, however, hadn't managed to break through the bottleneck after one night.

Still, the system sent an alert, and a semi-transparent window appeared before him.

[Daoist Couple Liu Qingqing has consumed Heavenly Rank Lower Elixir Soul-Shaping Pill, Earth Rank Lower Elixir Protecting Vein Pill, Yellow Grade Top Grade Elixir...]

[Would you like to share the effects of the Elixirs?]

After returning to her courtyard yesterday, Liu Qingqing wasted no time and immediately consumed the Soul-Shaping Pill.

She also took all the Auxiliary Elixirs that Gu Changge had presented to her, totaling seven or eight kinds.

"As expected..."

"There's no need for me to consume them myself."

Seeing the system's prompt, Gu Changge knew his guess was correct!

Since he could share the cultivation results and even Divine Skills of his Daoist Couple, then the Elixirs or Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures should also be sharable!

The current system alert had also confirmed that his guess was spot on.

Without any hesitation, he simply willed it and chose to share the results!

In an instant, he felt magical changes occurring within his body.

An indescribable power was transforming his meridians and continually tempering his muscles and bones.

Until after 30 minutes, when the effects faded, he felt that although his body hadn't undergone a complete transformation, it was clearly different!

The most crucial point was...

Under the recent changes to his body, his original bottleneck at Peak Qi Condensation Realm had naturally been broken through!

At this moment, he had already reached the Early Stage of the Sky-controlling Realm!

Gu Changge could distinctly feel the Spiritual Energy circulating in his meridians starting to undergo a qualitative transformation, moving towards becoming a liquid state!

The enhanced quality of the Spiritual Energy not only allowed him to traverse the skies but also improved the efficacy of his Divine Skills!

For instance, with Shadow Concealing Step, he could now flash across ten thousand meters in the time span of three breaths without utterly depleting the Spiritual Energy in his body!

As for the might of the Heavenly Cold Finger, it had also increased several-fold; if it landed, he could assure a one-hit kill even against someone in the Qi Sea Realm!

After briefly experiencing the strength increase brought by the Sky-controlling Realm, he reopened his panel.

[Host: Gu Changge]

[Root Bone: 96]

[Comprehension: 88]

[Cultivation Technique: Mystic Sky Technique (Earth Rank Mid-Grade)]

[Realm: Sky-controlling Realm Early Stage]

[Divine Skills: Lingering Sword Nine Slashes (Dark Grade Top-Grade·Small Success) Shadow Concealing Step (Earth Rank Lower·Small Success) Heavenly Cold Finger (Earth Rank Mid-Grade·Beginner)]

...

```

[Daoist Couple: Liu Qingqing]

[Root Bone: 95 (+6 Shareable)]

[Comprehension: 85]

[Cultivation Technique: Spirit Moon Technique (Earth Rank Top Grade)]

[Realm: Reach Profound Realm (Late Stage)]

[Divine Skills: Overwhelming Nine Swords (Dark Grade Top Grade·Small Success), Shadow Concealing Step (Earth Rank Lower·Small Success), Heavenly Cold Finger (Earth Rank Mid-Grade·Entry Level)]

```

Aside from ascending to the Sky-controlling Realm, the benefits from the elixir had increased their root bone by six points each.

But Gu Changge's gaze, upon falling on the daoist couple's panel, showed some surprise.

After Liu Qingqing's root bone changed, could it really be shared again?

Not only could he share the benefits of the elixir consumed by his daoist couple but even the improvements from her own panel once more!

Wouldn't that mean he could gain double the benefits from any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used by his daoist couple?

Without any hesitation, he once again chose to share root bone.

In an instant, his Root Bone stat increased by another six points, surging past one hundred.

[Root Bone: 102]

Once his root bone improved again, surpassing one hundred, Gu Changge felt the world before him changed somehow.

Almost imperceptibly, beyond the spiritual energy, he seemed to sense something else, ever so fleeting as if it did not exist.

Although this change intrigued him for a long time, his attempts to decipher it bore no fruit, and he had to give up researching for now.

"Liu Qingqing's talent, originally below ninety, would be considered once-in-a-century in the Northern Domain."

"Now, with her root bone assisted by the Soul-Shaping Pill to reach a value of ninety-five, the position of Heavenly Cold Sect Saintess should be secure."

"However..."

"What status does my own root bone, which now exceeds a hundred, represent? Once-in-a-millennium?"

Rubbing his chin, Gu Changge was curious what would happen if his current root bone level were to be made known.

He had no intention of hiding his talent. Instead, he contemplated finding an opportunity to show his increased root bone to his third uncle or the family head.

In doing so, he could obtain more resources from the family, and if all those resources went to Liu Qingqing...

Then that would equate to a double benefit in improvement!

This would be a great advantage for both Liu Qingqing and himself.

Especially since the higher the realm of the daoist couple, the greater the results from each cultivation session.

Liu Qingqing, having now taken the Soul-Shaping Pill, must be close to a breakthrough.

And indeed, it was just as he had thought.

When he went to the Inner Court to ask if Liu Qingqing needed anything for her cultivation, which he could help find,

He was once again intercepted by the Sixth Elder, although this time it was different.

"Qingqing is in seclusion, attempting to achieve Perfection in the Reach Profound Realm."

"But she asked me to tell you not to worry, that it won't delay the marriage date."

The Sixth Elder's gaze towards Gu Changge, though not friendly, had evidently less disgust and hostility than before.

Instead, there was some curiosity...

This youngster, not having taken the Soul-Shaping Pill, how did he manage to cultivate?

Upon learning Liu Qingqing was in seclusion, Gu Changge did not disturb her, and with a bow, he left.

Watching his departing figure, none of the Heavenly Cold Sect disciples spoke in mockery; he had proven his strength the day before.

Although they didn't know how he had done it, none could call him a talentless wastrel incapable of cultivating anymore!

"It's actually... uneventful..."

Wang Yu emerged from the Back Mountain Courtyard after Gu Changge had left, furrowing his brows in surprise.
