Immortal Martial Arts: Marry a Wife and Live a Long Life

Chapter 101: The Beginning of Soaring

A convoy stretching ten miles long departed from Lingjun City and headed north, passing through the Six Prefectures before reaching the border between Leizhou and Qingzhou.

It was relatively safe within the territory of Leizhou. However, once they reached the border, they would traverse a vast and desolate area, which was also the most likely place to be attacked.

Numerous bandits occupied the borders of each prefecture, and those who managed to survive had various factors influencing their existence.

After reaching Qingzhou, they would head northeast, passing through the Eight Prefectures and covering a distance of over six hundred thousand miles before finally reaching the Qingji border.

Upon entering Jizhou, they would have to take a detour to avoid the city, thus passing through the Nine Prefectures and traveling a distance of over eight hundred thousand miles.

Upon reaching Yuanzhou, they would pass through the Seven Prefectures and finally arrive at the Yongchang Prefecture chosen by Han Li, with a journey of approximately over five hundred thousand miles within Yuanzhou.

This was the migration route formulated by Han Li, aiming to take the safest path and preferring to spend more time rather than taking risks.

As time passed, the migrating convoy continued its journey until it reached Zhending Prefecture. With Han Li's spiritual sense leading the way, they encountered no major crises along the way.

For significant troubles, they would take a detour, while minor troubles were handled by the family guards or descendants. In order to facilitate this move, Han Li specifically recruited several Sea Opening Realm guest cultivators.

He revealed his cultivation at the Vital Spirit Realm and tempted these cultivators with various incentives such as pills, spirit stones, Sea Opening Realm weapons, etc. These cultivators hesitated slightly but ultimately agreed.

Due to the massive size of the migrating convoy, stretching ten miles long, it attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Upon learning that the Han Family's intention was to leave Leizhou, the smaller forces breathed a sigh of relief. The strongest forces in these areas were only at the Sea Opening Realm and Vital Spirit Realm. If the Han Family were to move here, they would encroach on their resources.

The major forces, on the other hand, were not concerned. The Han Family's move would still be within their sphere of influence, nominally under the rule of the Great Qian Dynasty but effectively governed by various sects.

There were three prefectures connecting Leizhou and Qingzhou, each with checkpoints leading to each other: Zhenwen Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, and Zhenyi Prefecture.

By taking the Zhenwen Prefecture route, one could quickly reach Huozhou in Qingzhou. By taking the Zhending Prefecture route, one could quickly reach Jizhou in Qingzhou. By taking the Zhenyi Prefecture route, one could quickly reach Luzhou in Qingzhou.

When the migrating convoy arrived about two hundred miles away from the prefectural checkpoint, it was already late in the evening, and they stopped to rest. They would enter Qingzhou the next day.

The massive convoy gathered together, forming one circle after another centered around Han Li's carriage. There were numerous guards patrolling on horseback on the outer perimeter.

Within the convoy, there was approximately a two-meter gap between each circle. Servant girls shuttled back and forth, carrying various foods and fruits in their hands, delivering them to the carriages of each master.

In the center of the convoy, Han Li was not idle. At this moment, he was teaching the younger generation.

In front of him were Han Yonglin, Han Yongyun, and other eight-year-old descendants, as well as Han Yongfan, Han Yongyan, and other descendants who had already embarked on the path of cultivation.

With the support of resources provided by the Han Family, those with better aptitude had already cultivated to the third stage of True Qi, while those with poorer aptitude were still hovering at the first or second stage.

Han Li had over one hundred and sixty descendants with aptitude. Many of them were under the age of eight, and there were even more above the age of eight, totaling around a hundred.

This migration was estimated to take two years, and Han Li did not want those of suitable age to miss out on cultivation time, so he had to teach them along the way.

As for his concubines, he needed to privately teach and impart techniques to them. The concubines with better aptitude had already cultivated to the Sea Opening Realm, while the rest concentrated on the Innate Realm. Only the newly accepted concubines were still below the Innate Realm.

Due to the effect of the Body Nourishing Furnace, every time Han Li taught and imparted techniques to them, not only could he enhance their cultivation, but he could also improve their aptitude, gradually increasing their cultivation speed.

Currently, the concubines with the worst aptitude had reached the eighth grade, with most of them at the seventh grade and a few at the sixth grade. As for the fifth grade, there were only the sisters Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, with Lin Yiyin's aptitude having recently improved.

Not only were the concubines' aptitudes improving, but Han Li's own aptitude was also increasing. During this period, there were not many descendants with aptitude born, but the Body Nourishing Furnace had improved his aptitude significantly.

Han Li had checked the system panel and saw that his aptitude was steadily increasing. It had now reached the twelfth grade of the fifth rank, which was a considerable improvement compared to when he first advanced to the fifth rank.

What made him somewhat regretful was that the Body Nourishing Furnace could only improve a cultivator's aptitude up to the fourth rank and required a significant amount of time.

"Yonglin, Yongyun, Yongfu, how is your cultivation progress with the Five Elements Technique? Have you grasped the basics?"

Looking at the descendants, Han Li read out their names one by one and asked about their cultivation progress.

The Five Elements Formula is a low-grade Earth Grade technique, divided into eight levels, capable of cultivating up to the Empty Void Realm. Han Li temporarily used it as the clan's technique.

As for the earlier Sacred Heart Formula, it is only a middle-grade Profound Grade technique, divided into six levels, and can only be cultivated up to the Vital Spirit Realm. It is taught to the clan guards and guests, but they must make corresponding contributions and achievements.

"Father, I have already cultivated to the late stage of the first level."

Han Yonglin said excitedly, with a somewhat proud expression, raising his head high, as if waiting for Han Li's praise.

The late stage of the first level refers to the cultivation of the Body Tempering stage, which surprised Han Li. Having a fifth-grade aptitude is impressive.

It took him two full years to break through to the late stage of the Body Tempering stage back then. This was related to his late start in cultivation at the age of sixteen, his poor aptitude, lack of techniques, and limited cultivation resources.

Han Yonglin achieved such progress in less than a month of cultivation, not only because of his good aptitude, but also because of the good technique and abundant cultivation resources. He also had Han Li, the grandmaster, as his mentor, and it was the best time for cultivation.

"Not bad, much stronger than me back then." Han Li praised without hesitation.

"Father, I'm also about to reach the late stage of the first level." Han Yongyun quickly said, hoping to receive Han Li's praise as well.

Han Li could tell his cultivation level at a glance, the sixth stage of the Body Tempering stage, which was also very good, so he praised him as well.

"Father, I have only reached the early stage of the first level."

"Father, I just reached the middle stage of the first level."

"Father."

Han Yongfu and the others also spoke one after another, but their expressions were somewhat inferior compared to Han Yonglin and Han Yongyun.

Han Li understood very well. After all, these descendants only had seventh or eighth-grade aptitudes, and they were cultivating an Earth Grade technique, which was relatively difficult to grasp. If it weren't for his guidance, it would probably take them more time to make progress.

For these descendants with lower aptitudes, Han Li focused on encouragement, urging them to cultivate diligently, and assuring them that they would also achieve something in the future.

He wasn't just making empty promises. Once they arrived in the original state, he would find the Rebirth Flower and refine the Rebirth Pill as quickly as possible. At that time, all the qualified descendants would be able to improve their aptitude to the fifth grade, reaching the level of Han Yonglin.

However, he wouldn't mention these plans for now. He still needed to take precautions and make adequate preparations. Only after that would he enhance their aptitude. Fortunately, he already had a detailed plan, and he was just waiting to move to the original state.

The original state would be the beginning of the Han family's rise.

In the original state, an immensely powerful cultivation clan would emerge.

By then, the Han family would become a major power in the Great Qian Dynasty and even the Profound Domain.

After answering the cultivation doubts raised by Han Yonglin, Han Yongfu, and others, he said, "Those with good aptitude should not be arrogant, and those with poor aptitude should not be discouraged. Even I had low aptitude back then, and my achievements today are all thanks to my diligence."

"Remember this phrase: everything is possible in the future."

"I will create a relatively fair cultivation environment for you as much as possible. Just wait and see."

Han Li looked at Han Yongfan, Han Yongyan, and others beside him and said, "The same goes for you."

"Yes, Father."

Han Yonglin, Han Yongfan, and others replied excitedly, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Han Li.

The outside world believed that their father was a cultivator in the Vital Spirit Realm, but they knew that their father was a true person in the Soul Refining stage, with extremely powerful strength.

This was the secret they kept in their hearts and would never reveal to the outside world.
