Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

The sky gradually brightened.

Behind the Jiang family's mountain, in a cave dwelling.

Gu Changjin slowly opened his eyes.

In just one night, he had completely transformed the Jiang family's external cultivation techniques that this body originally practiced into a Daoist method that was more suitable for him.

Although it is called a Taoist technique, it is actually a basic fire-attribute true technique selected from the memories of the main world.

It's not the highest rank.

But in this world, it's enough.

It's far better than the castration technique the Jiang family taught their son-in-law.

Gu Changjin sensed the spiritual energy within his body.

Peak of Foundation Building.

The foundation is quite solid.

But it's only so-so.

This cultivation world is incomparable to the main world.

They're not on the same level.

In the original owner's memories, in this cultivation world of six kingdoms, a Golden Core cultivator could hold down a position and protect his family for hundreds of years.

Nascent Soul?

Those are all things from legends.

We might not hear any news about it for hundreds of years.

Therefore, a family like the Jiang family, with a Golden Core Ancestor presiding over them, dares to call themselves the Immortal Clan.

Thinking of this, Gu Changjin couldn't help but chuckle.

Immortal Clan?

Also match?

In the main world, such a family would at most be a Golden Core family in a remote little place.

They might not even be able to compare to the vassal families under the Xuan Yang Sect.

But here, the Jiang family reigns supreme, suffocating countless cultivators from the six kingdoms.

Therefore, people still need to consider their environment.

Even the biggest toad in the well can call itself the Devouring Demon King.

As for the Jiang family's schemes, Gu Changjin was no stranger to them.

The main world is very large.

What strange and unusual methods are there?

What disgusting family anecdotes are there?

Some people refine seeds into elixirs.

Someone has taken away a disciple's life essence.

Some people use their Daoist partners as a furnace or cauldron.

Some people even raise geniuses from other families, and then forcibly seize their Dao foundation by using things like blood contracts, soul contracts, and life contracts when the other party breaks through to a higher realm.

The Jiang family's method of replacing pills is essentially the same approach.

On the surface, it is said that the patriarch of the Jiang family shattered his own remaining golden core and poured the last essence of the golden core into Gu Changjin's body to help him form his golden core.

Actually?

First, push him to the Golden Core stage.

When his golden core is initially formed and his aura is most unstable, use a thirty-year blood pact between husband and wife to lock his soul and body.

Using the Jiang family's ancestral formation as a furnace.

Using the remaining elixir of the Jiang family ancestor as a catalyst.

They forcibly extracted his newly formed golden core and grafted it into Jiang Zhaoyue's body.

In this way, Jiang Zhaoyue can ascend to the heavens in one step and become a new Golden Core cultivator.

Even if this golden elixir has flaws.

Even if the foundation is unstable.

That is also a Golden Core.

As long as the Jiang family produces another Golden Core cultivator, the title of Immortal Clan can still be preserved.

The Jiang family can continue to dominate the cultivation world of the six kingdoms.

As for Gu Changjin?

A son-in-law who lives with his wife's family.

One pill.

Once the elixir is complete, it is natural to break the furnace.

Gu Changjin sat on the futon, his fingertips gently tapping his knees.

He wasn't angry.

At least outwardly, he didn't seem angry.

Anger is a waste of energy.

Anger will not solve problems, especially when you know that someone is planning to harm you.

Only those who can generate profit.

He wasn't thinking about whether the Jiang family deserved to die.

The Jiang family deserves to die.

The question is, how do you die to get the most money?

The first "me" is a centenarian sword god in the martial arts world.

Although the world level was low, the body possessed the Limitless Sword Body and had even comprehended the rudiments of sword intent.

Upon returning to his original position, he directly repaired his Golden Core, increased his lifespan, and advanced to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

The harvest was enormous.

But this one is different from me.

This is a world of cultivation.

But this guy doesn't have any Limitless Sword Body or special spiritual roots.

The most valuable things seem to be only the peak Foundation Establishment cultivation and thirty years of combat experience.

For the main body of the world, the cultivation level at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage is already somewhat insufficient.

Even if the Dao traces return to their original positions and feed back to the source, it would only be icing on the cake.

Therefore, we must extract the maximum value from this other self.

Since the Jiang family wants to refine him into an elixir.

Then he turned the tables.

The Jiang family's method of using substitute pills is quite interesting.

If it falls into his hands, and he uses the remaining Dao Yuan in the Dao Fruit to deduce it, it might not be impossible to change it into a true method of devouring and refining.

Returning to the original state is not just about repairing the physical body and strengthening one's cultivation.

It can also deduce the methods.

It just takes a lot of energy.

Moreover, this thing didn't come out of thin air.

Only after the cause and effect between him and me are resolved and the Dao traces are returned to their proper places can a portion of it be refined from the Dao fruit.

Use a little, and you'll have less.

Don't spend money recklessly.

However, if he could use the Jiang family's substitute pill method to deduce a method suitable for him to devour the origin of the golden core and refine the foundation of cultivators, then it would be very worthwhile.

The only advantage this world has for him is that it is also a cultivation world.

The quality of the golden cores here may not be comparable to those in the main world.

But a golden elixir is a golden elixir.

If he can frantically accumulate cultivation in this world of others.

They swallowed the patriarch of the Jiang family.

They even dragged those Golden Elixir cultivators from the six kingdoms into the game.

Refine all the golden core essence of these people into immortal Dao Yuan.

Even if this body eventually can't withstand it and bursts, it doesn't matter.

What he wanted was not for me to live a peaceful and stable life.

What he wanted was the immense feedback that would be enough to impact the Nascent Soul when he returned to his original form.

Gu Changjin's eyes were calm yet somewhat cold.

This "he" and "I" are a furnace.

Since it's a furnace, let it burn at its brightest.

Even if it explodes at the end, it's okay.

As long as the product is good enough, what does it matter if the furnace breaks?

As for the performance by the Jiang family.

In his eyes, it was nothing more than a monkey show.

Just then, a soft knock sounded at the door of the cave.

"Long Ashes".

Her voice was gentle and melodious.

With just the right amount of concern.

Gu Changjin's eyes flickered slightly.

coming.

Jiang Zhaoyue.

The body's nominal wife.

He was also the person who would receive his golden elixir at the grand ceremony three days later.

"Come in."

The stone gate slowly opened.

A woman walked in.

She wore a moon-white long dress, her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and her temperament was soft, like a white lotus blooming in the morning mist.

It must be said that Jiang Zhaoyue is very beautiful.

And she's very good at pretending.

She didn't immediately mention the grand ceremony upon entering, nor did she inquire about the progress of her cultivation.

Instead, she walked to the side and personally poured Gu Changjin a cup of spiritual tea.

"You've been cultivating all night again?"

"I knew it, you definitely wouldn't get a proper rest."

Her tone was a mix of reproach and heartache.

If the original Gu Changjin had heard this, his heart would probably have softened.

After all, Jiang Zhaoyue had always been like this in front of him for the past thirty years.

Gentle, considerate, and sensible.

She would speak up for him when outsiders talked about him as a son-in-law who had married into the family.

When she has good resources, she will deliver them to you personally.

When he was injured, she would take care of him without taking off her clothes.

The Jiang family patriarch also treated him very well.

He would give him most of the various elixirs, cultivation techniques, and magical artifacts he needed.

The entire Jiang family treated him like one of their own.

That's why he and I were so thoroughly cleansed.

Even within the thread of fate, until the moment the blood pact locked his golden core, he still believed that Jiang Zhaoyue had her reasons.

Gu Changjin just felt bored.

too ripe.

He had seen this kind of scene before in his previous life.

I've seen it in the main world too.

Now I see them again in the heavens and in the self.

Why do ingrates always like to wear a gentle mask?

Jiang Zhaoyue sat down beside him and said softly, "Changjin, the grand ceremony of your joint registration will be held in three days, which will also be the day you form your core."

"You've really worked hard all these years."

"If it weren't for my injury back then, which caused my cultivation to stagnate, you wouldn't have had to support the Jiang family all by yourself."

As she said this, her eyes reddened slightly.

"Sometimes I think, if I were stronger, would you not have to work so hard?"

"You've done too much for the Jiang family."

"I've always known that in my heart."

That's a well-said statement.

It is both soft and gentle.

If it were Gu Changjin, who had been raised by the Jiang family for thirty years, he would probably have already started comforting her instead.

They say that couples shouldn't be so calculating with each other.

They said the Jiang family had treated me well.

They said everything would be alright after I reached the Core Formation stage.

Gu Changjin picked up the spirit tea and took a sip.

Then put it down.

"It's good that you know."

Jiang Zhaoyue was taken aback.

She seemed surprised that he would do this.

Gu Changjin looked up at her, his tone indifferent.

"If it weren't for healing your wounds, I wouldn't have ventured into the Blackwater Swamp three times, almost dying inside the demonic python's belly."

"If it weren't for reclaiming the spirit mine for the Jiang family, I wouldn't have been surrounded and killed by three Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Zhao family, which damaged my foundation."

"If it weren't for protecting those useless members of your Jiang family, I could have gone into seclusion to break through to the Golden Core stage fifteen years ago."

The gentleness on Jiang Zhaoyue's face gradually froze.

"Changjin, you..."

Gu Changjin interrupted her directly.

You're right.

"All of this is something your Jiang family owes me."

The cave suddenly fell silent.

Jiang Zhaoyue looked at his face as if she were seeing him for the first time.

The Gu Changjin of the past would never have spoken like this.

He is calm, patient, and considerate of the overall situation.

Even if they suffer injustice, they will only say that they are family and there is no need to hold a grudge.

But now, every word he says is like a knife, cutting away that layer of tenderness.

Jiang Zhaoyue forced a smile.

"Changjin, are you overworking yourself with your cultivation?"

"I just feel sorry for you, that's all."

"We are husband and wife, and the Jiang family is your family too. Why are you talking about owing or not owing anything..."

Gu Changjin sneered.

"couple?"

"Jiang Zhaoyue, if you truly consider me your husband, you should understand that I have dedicated thirty years to the Jiang family, and it is only natural that the Jiang family is now using all its resources to help me achieve the Core Formation."

"It's not a gift."

"It's not like I should be grateful to tears."

Jiang Zhaoyue's expression finally changed.

She opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know how to respond.

Gu Changjin found it amusing.

Still trying to manipulate me?

Come.
