his internal energy was only maintained at about thirty to forty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, having spent the last few days highly focused, he was also somewhat weary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took the opportunity to excuse himself to return to his small courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Later, I will have someone send over some Elixirs for you to properly recuperate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, some Jade Scrolls for recording Techniques, so you can jot them down at any time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing him say that his spiritual energy was greatly expended, Gu Zhan nodded and agreed immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder how long it will be before we can see that Technique…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Elders heard about the Technique and couldn’t hide their longing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cultivation Techniques practiced by the Gu Family’s direct lineage stemmed from the same source; even switching to a new practice wouldn’t be too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the Techniques they practiced were all part of the same, albeit incomplete, Technique, while the Young Master had comprehended complete, top-grade Heavenly Rank Techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as the Young Master could complete the Technique, they might also have the chance to switch to a Heavenly Rank Technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of the Elders were cultivating the Mid-Grade Earth Rank Mystic Sky Technique, and not even the Family Head, Gu Zhan, had managed to comprehend the lower levels of the Heavenly Rank Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s fast, it should be done in about ten or more days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Changge, with a slight bow to everyone, responded casually to the Elders’ inquiry as he left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After his figure disappeared, the several Elders looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did the Young Master say just now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ten or so years will do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to the four Heavenly Rank Techniques, the time indeed seems short…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Elder cleaned out his ears, feeling as if he had misheard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel like I heard ten or so months…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Elder Five was sure he had heard ten days, he still doubted his own ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing their expressions, Gu Kuang scoffed with disdain: “Don’t doubt yourselves, you heard right, our eldest grandson said ten days.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And if our eldest grandson says ten days, then it certainly is ten days!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Gu Kuang didn’t even bother to look at their astonished faces, stepping forward and disappearing from view.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He planned to personally visit the Gu Family’s Treasure Vault to find some Elixirs and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for his grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having someone else deliver them would be too slow; his grandson’s time is very precious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few days’ time, one could comprehend heavenly techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just over ten days, a Heavenly Rank Top Technique could be subdivided into four Heavenly Rank Techniques!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If half a day was lost, wouldn’t that delay a third of a Heavenly Rank Technique?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well personally retrieve the Elixirs and see if there are any useful Heavenly Materials or Earthly Treasures for his grandson!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let it be known, today’s news must not be leaked.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhan looked at the group of Elders and Deacons and ordered seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this matter probably can’t be hidden for too long.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several Elders bowed in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In any case, try to suppress it as much as possible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heavenly Rank Top Techniques…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This would surely tempt even the Northern Domain Royal Family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There might be actions taken against our Gu Family.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Zhan waved his hand, knowing full well that the matter couldn’t remain secret forever, but the longer it could be delayed, the better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by the Young Master’s current performance, in a few years, there may be no one in the entire Northern Domain who could compete with him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, whether it’s the Northern Domain Royal Family or the Heavenly Cold Sect, they would all have to bow at his feet!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Family Head’s word, the Elders and Deacons all sprang into action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, that very day Gu Zhan added a new family rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From now on, once outside the Inner Court, discussion of the Young Master’s matters was forbidden, and any related topic was not to be mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were to minimize the spread of the Young Master’s information in the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>",1156,"2026-06-05T15:31:36.912Z",1,"novelbin.me","ebe1acf21058324bd47976c61bdee91a253632b10ce5fb5e9572af8d0cdfa43c","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-245","concubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-chapter-243",611,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconcubines-lead-to-strength-the-path-to-immortal-cover.jpg"]
