335: Possession of the Wang family patriarch

"One, two, three, four... seventeen..."

"My heavens, Senior Brother Da Gui, you hunted seventeen dogs by yourself?!"

"Senior Brother Da Gui, please teach me!"

"Senior Brother Da Gui, please share your experience with us; we really can't find where the dogs are hiding anymore!"

"Right! These dogs have also become smarter. We tried luring them with food, but they completely ignored it. They clearly have developed some intelligence!"

Gu Yanqing ignored everyone's chatter.

Bringing out so many dogs was a one-time deal for him. If he were asked to find them again tomorrow, he wouldn't; it would just be a waste of time.

Most of the stray dogs in the city had already been hunted.

The wild dogs outside mostly roamed in packs, and the leaders were likely at First Grade strength.

Leaving the city was simply not worth it for him.

Gu Yanqing's goal was still to use resources to quickly achieve a Breakthrough in his Divine Soul strength. That way, after his Possession of the Family Head, his resources would multiply instantly.

Thinking this, Gu Yanqing sized up the Family Head.

The Family Head appeared to be a middle-aged man, with Foundation Establishment Middle Stage strength.

He was overjoyed to see Gu Yanqing produce so many dogs.

"Da Gui, well done. Hunting so many dogs by yourself, I won't give you miscellaneous Spirit Stones; I'll give you three Low-Grade Spirit Stones directly. How about it?"

Gu Yanqing was delighted.

"Thank you, Family Head."

This money came easily.

After receiving the Spirit Stones, Gu Yanqing observed the Family Head.

Hmm, although his Aptitude was poor, it was still decent compared to others, as he had already reached Foundation Establishment.

Based on this foundation, Golden Core might be out of reach, but reaching Foundation Establishment Perfection should be possible.

However, that wasn't for him to consider. After sweeping up all of the Wang Family's resources, he would then think of other methods; that was the most reliable approach.

A Cai was still waiting for him; he needed to hurry to the Lingxu Domain.

After taking the Spirit Stones, Gu Yanqing walked directly to his residence.

At the residence, Cui Cui was still waiting for him at the door. Seeing Da Gui, Cui Cui smiled sweetly and came to greet him.

Gu Yanqing said, "I still don't have time. Let's talk another day. I need to achieve a Breakthrough these next few days, so please don't disturb me. Once I succeed, I'll teach you Body Tempering.

If you're worried, you can take this Body Tempering Martial Skill and look at it first."

Gu Yanqing directly gave the Body Tempering Martial Skill to Cui Cui.

This was originally Da Gui's item.

A completely useless Body Tempering Martial Skill. As long as this woman didn't expose him and didn't disturb him, anything was fine.

Cui Cui was initially a bit angry, wondering why he never had time.

But upon seeing the Body Tempering Martial Skill, she beamed with joy.

"Da Gui, look at you. Don't worry, I'm yours. Whatever you say, I'll do. You go ahead and enter seclusion. I'll go study this.

When you come out, I'll still be waiting for you to teach me personally, personally, you know?"

Cui Cui blinked, the meaning couldn't have been clearer.

Gu Yanqing ignored her completely and went straight into the house.

After setting up a Restriction, Gu Yanqing took out the Spirit Stones.

Adding Da Gui's personal stash, there were a total of twenty-seven Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

"A bit few, but better than nothing."

Gu Yanqing's Spiritual Qi stirred, and he began to absorb the Spirit Stones.

An hour later, Gu Yanqing looked at the two dim Low-Grade Spirit Stones and frowned.

"Da Gui's body has too many Impurities, and his Meridians are severely blocked. Even with my Cultivation Technique, there are still many limitations; the efficiency is too low.

No wonder among so many Cultivators in the world, only a handful reach the peak.

At this efficiency, being able to achieve Foundation Establishment is already good."

But there was no other way for now.

He couldn't find any other suitable bodies for the time being.

"It will have to do for now. Fortunately, I'm not pursuing strength, but merely using Spiritual Qi to nourish my Divine Soul."

The Spiritual Qi, guided by Gu Yanqing, began to surge towards his Sea of Consciousness... Three days later, Gu Yanqing opened his eyes.

"My Divine Soul is already at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage level."

"Possession of the Family Head should be no problem. Although both are at Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, the Wang Family Head's Divine Soul strength still has a certain gap compared to mine."

Gu Yanqing rose and walked towards the Family Head's courtyard.

After being announced, Gu Yanqing entered the courtyard.

The Wang Family Head was seated in the main hall.

Seeing Da Gui, he chuckled.

This Da Gui had been very diligent recently, completely changing his old habits of drinking, gambling, and womanizing. It was quite good.

Especially since when these dogs were sent to the City Lord's Manor, the City Lord praised him profusely!

"Da Gui, I heard you entered seclusion? Did you achieve a Breakthrough?"

Gu Yanqing did not answer. He sneered and walked up to the Family Head.

The Wang Family Head raised an eyebrow.

This Da Gui must have achieved a minor Realm Breakthrough to be so rude.

But... he would tolerate it. This was still a good combat force for the Wang Family.

Gu Yanqing said, "Family Head, I want to be the Family Head. Please step aside!"

The Wang Family Head's pupils constricted. He slammed the table and stood up.

"What did you say? You truly have immense audacity!"

The Wang Family Head directly mobilized Spiritual Qi from his Qi Sea, intending to teach Da Gui a lesson.

But then, he felt a vast Soul Power enter his Sea of Consciousness.

This Soul Power was comparable to his own Soul Power in quantity, but its quality far surpassed his.

"How could this be!"

"Heh heh..." Gu Yanqing sneered, "Ignorant ant, you possess Soul Power but only know how to attack with brute force. You don't understand that Soul Power also has specialized Martial Skills."

His Soul Power suddenly became insidious, like chains, locking the Wang Family Head's Divine Soul.

"Soul Sealing!"

The chains formed by Gu Yanqing's Soul Power emitted a red light, compressing the Wang Family Head's Divine Soul and finally controlling it within a ball of light.

The Wang Family Head's eyes became vacant.

Gu Yanqing seized this opportunity to begin taking control of the Wang Family Head's body.

After a few breaths, the Wang Family Head... or rather, the current Gu Yanqing, opened his eyes.

He felt the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage strength within his Qi Sea and smiled.

Then, he took out a ball of light from his Sea of Consciousness.

Within this ball of light, the Wang Family Head looked at Gu Yanqing with horror.

"Soul Scour!"

Gu Yanqing unleashed the Soul Scour technique. He wanted the Wang Family Head's memories!

After fully absorbing the Wang Family Head's memories, Gu Yanqing revealed a look of sudden understanding.

"No wonder they needed to catch dogs. It's just as I thought; it wasn't because of the old man's death. That was just a pretext. Even without that pretext, this action would still have happened.

The City Lord is definitely hiding something!"

Gu Yanqing directly crushed the ball of light!

The Wang Family Head's Divine Soul scattered into tiny specks.

"Can't let it go to waste!"

Gu Yanqing sat down cross-legged and began to refine the Wang Family Head's Divine Soul.

"A Foundation Establishment Middle Stage Divine Soul should allow my Divine Soul to achieve a Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment Late Stage."

This was a great tonic!
