After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Gu Qingze was a little excited. He had vaguely touched the threshold of the foundation-building stage recently, and it was particularly obvious in the past two days.

He knew it was time for a breakthrough, so he asked for leave from the academy and consulted the elders of the Gu family.

We came to a pond in the clan, where there was the clan's spirit gathering formation, and the spiritual energy there was richer than outside.

Breaking through the foundation-building stage from here will achieve better results.

In fact, the reason why every family's qualified children go to the academy is simply because all the major sects basically go to the academy to recruit disciples.

If you go directly to the sect, unless you are particularly talented and are chosen by the elders to be their personal disciples, most people can only be ordinary disciples, or even worse, they can only be menial disciples.

The Gu family's spirit gathering array has about twice the concentration of spiritual energy as the school's training room. If Gu Qingze had been practicing here all the time, he would have achieved a breakthrough half a month ago.

Gu Qingze took out a small white jade bottle from his storage bag, took out a foundation-building pill and put it in his mouth. The pill tasted slightly bitter and dissolved immediately in his mouth.

He began to sit cross-legged and guide the spiritual energy slowly into his meridians, then gathered it in his dantian and tried his best to break through the barrier.

In less than an hour, Gu Qingze opened his eyes.

Is it that simple? He thought it would take a long time.

But if you think about it carefully, it is normal. After all, he has a single spiritual root, and he has taken a 100% effective elixir to build the foundation.

He calmed down and felt it carefully. Not only did his dantian expand several times, but spiritual energy also continued to flow in, spreading to his limbs and bones, and strengthening his foundation.

After consolidating for a while, he slowly stood up and stretched his muscles.

The elders of the Gu family looked at him coming out of the spirit gathering formation and congratulated him one after another.

They were all genuinely happy for him. The Gu family had the least internal strife among the three major families, not only because they valued family ties, but also because their interests were closely linked.

The Gu family is quite special. The patriarch only has one wife, the main wife. After that wife gave birth to the child Gu Qingze, the burden on her already weak body became even greater. As a result, she died in less than two years.

After the death of that lady, the head of the Gu family refused to remarry, let alone take a concubine.

Therefore, the main branch of the Gu family has only one child, Gu Qingze.

The Gu family branch does have many children, but none of them are as talented as Gu Qingze.

The position of the head of the Gu family was decided since Gu Qingze was born, and they were all convinced.

Of course, the elders of the Gu family don’t care. They will support whoever can make the Gu family prosperous forever.

Internal fighting is meaningless and only benefits bystanders.

Moreover, the members of other families compete for the position of head of the family only for the sake of interests or rights.

They have all of these. The Gu family basically controls the spiritual weapon market in the surrounding cities. As spiritual weapons are one of the three most profitable industries, they have no shortage of money.

As for rights, the Gu family gave them sufficient rights. Every time they presided over a decision, they had the right to vote and veto. The power of the head of the family was basically the same as that of the clan elders. The only difference was that they played a representative role.

Therefore, no one wants the best for the family more than them. The faster Gu Qingze's cultivation progresses, the more prosperous the Gu family will be. How can they not be happy for him?

Watching them all walking towards Gu Qingze holding spiritual weapons of different styles and functions.

Gu Qingze was flattered, knowing that this was a gift prepared for his breakthrough.

He asked them for permission only because the activation of the Spirit Gathering Array required permission. After all, it cost spirit stones to activate the Spirit Gathering Array every time. Although the Gu family did not care about these small amounts of money, they still had to follow the rules.

The leading elder looked at him kindly, stroked his beard and smiled.

"Please accept it, Xiaoze. This is just a token of our gratitude as elders. It's nothing. After all, we have watched you grow up. We love you more than our own children."

After Gu Qingze thanked him, he knew it was difficult to refuse, so he put everything into the storage bag.

Then he exchanged some pleasantries and chatted with them for a while before leaving.
