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

Chapter 13: I'm at the Southern Heaven Gate

Half a month later.

Han Li was leisurely basking in the sun in the garden. Some concubines were massaging his shoulders and back, while others were feeding him food and fruits. Some were gracefully dancing, displaying their exquisite dance moves.

These concubines were all cultivators, with the weakest being at the Blood Exchange stage, and many of them were at the True Qi stage. This made their bodies more flexible, allowing them to perform more difficult movements.

"What a heavenly life!" Han Li sighed. During the day, he enjoyed the service of numerous concubines, and at night, he would go to find Qiu Yueyao to cultivate together, hoping to conceive as soon as possible.

Qiu Yueyao was a cultivator with a seventh-grade aptitude. If they were to have a child, there was hope for a seventh-grade aptitude offspring, which would earn him rewards from the system.

"My husband, I think I'm pregnant," Qiu Yueyao, dressed in a white palace gown, walked over with an excited expression.

"Really? That's great!" Han Li let Qiu Yueyao come closer and personally felt her belly. He indeed sensed a new life, but it had only been a few days since conception, and Qiu Yueyao's strength was not as strong as his, so she wasn't certain.

"Congratulations, sister," Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, and other concubines immediately congratulated her with sincere expressions.

As Han Li's concubines, they had also guessed some of Han Li's intentions and were happy to see the appearance of a new descendant in the Han family.

Han Li nodded slightly, showing his approval of their behavior.

His backyard had never been on fire, and the relationships between the concubines were good. There were no dog-blood palace fights happening.

Of course, there were some small factions. The concubines who were accepted before reaching the Sea Opening Realm were led by Liu Yuexin, while those accepted after reaching the Sea Opening Realm were led by Li Mingmeng. The relationship between the two women was harmonious, without any conflicts.

Li Mingmeng, and even Qiu Yueyao, who had just entered the door, had no interest in managing the affairs of the Han family, so Liu Yuexin took care of it. She was fair in her actions, and Li, Qiu, and other women were happy to have more time to cultivate.

After marrying Qiu Yueyao, Han Li became low-key and didn't take in any concubines for two years.

During these two years, the number of Han Li's descendants had skyrocketed to 153. Most of them were the result of the efforts of his descendants, who were striving to obtain Han Li's rewards.

Due to Han Li's reward system, the Han family's descendants were considered fortunate. Each additional child brought them a large amount of resources and wealth rewards, and the Han family was responsible for raising the offspring. If the legal wife didn't want to have children, marrying a concubine would suffice.

Among these 45 newborn descendants, Han Li only contributed nine. The five concubines he had previously accepted had given birth to offspring one after another, including two pairs of twins.

Li Mingmeng's third child had also been born, and Qiu Yueyao's first child was born last year.

Among these 45 descendants, twelve had cultivation aptitude, which was not a small proportion. This was mainly because the offspring of Han Li's concubines all had aptitude. Han Li was somewhat regretful that Qiu Yueyao's first child only had an eighth-grade aptitude.

Although he was a little disappointed, Han Li didn't say anything. Perhaps the next child would have a seventh-grade aptitude, and it wasn't up to Qiu Yueyao to decide.

The surge in the number of descendants also brought Han Li many rewards.

His cultivation increased by forty-five years, his lifespan increased by forty-five years, and he obtained dozens of Royal Grade top-tier techniques, martial skills, and even secret arts. He also received dozens of longevity pills.

His cultivation aptitude had also improved significantly. With the birth of five more offspring with eighth-grade aptitude, he would be able to reach the seventh-grade aptitude.

There is another reward for breaking through the number of qualified descendants, which is obtained when the number exceeds thirty. Currently, there are thirty-three, and the reward is the same as before.

Han Li spent twenty-nine years cultivating and reached the peak of the Sea Opening Realm. The remaining thirty-six years of cultivation have not been claimed.

After officially reaching the peak of the Sea Opening Realm, the system provided a new prompt. Just as he had speculated before, the cultivation rewarded by the system could directly allow him to break through to the Vital Spirit Realm.

However, the cost is quite high, requiring one hundred years of cultivation.

These cultivation years are not taken back by the system, but rather help him break through. They serve as a reference for breaking through to the Vital Spirit Realm.

Breaking through from the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm to the Vital Spirit Realm is quite difficult. The limitation of aptitude is only one aspect, and the other aspect is True Essence.

Below the Vital Spirit Realm, cultivators use True Qi. Both acquired True Qi and innate True Qi are considered True Qi. Starting from the Vital Spirit Realm, cultivators use True Essence.

To break through to the Vital Spirit Realm, one must liquefy True Qi and transform it into True Essence. This process is very time-consuming.

Generally speaking, it takes one hundred strands of innate True Qi to condense into a drop of True Essence, and one must use the corresponding secret technique to succeed. When half of the innate True Qi in the Qi Sea condenses into True Essence, one can advance to the Vital Spirit Realm. At the moment of advancement, the other half of the True Qi automatically transforms into True Essence.

Even if cultivators with ordinary aptitude have secret techniques, they do not have enough time to reach the breakthrough threshold. If they have a large number of spirit stones or even the assistance of pills that help condense True Essence, they can speed up the progress.

Cultivators with good aptitude not only have secret techniques but also have access to many cultivation resources, making it naturally easier for them to break through to the Vital Spirit Realm. Of course, the better their aptitude, the larger their Qi Sea, and they still need a considerable amount of time.

According to Han Li's aptitude, after reaching the peak of the Sea Opening Realm, he still needs to cultivate for one hundred years to reach the breakthrough threshold of the Vital Spirit Realm.

Although Han Li has so much lifespan, he will not foolishly choose to cultivate slowly and break through while lying down. It's truly enjoyable!

"After accumulating for a few more years, I should have enough cultivation to break through," Han Li secretly thought.

Returning to his senses, Han Li continued to chat with his concubines, almost fulfilling their every need. Of course, these women also had a sense of propriety and would not make excessive demands.

No one, not even his own women, knew about Han Li's breakthrough to the peak of the Sea Opening Realm. The outside world still believed that Han Li was just a cultivator who had recently broken through to the Sea Opening Realm, at most the second level of the Sea Opening Realm.

This is what Han Li wanted. He wanted to mislead the outside world and not let them know his true cultivation level.

Worrying about causing a sensation was just one aspect. The most crucial point was that Han Li had become accustomed to being cautious and wanted to prevent any potential dangers.

The outside world believed that he was only at the second level of the Sea Opening Realm, but in reality, he was a cultivator at the peak of the Sea Opening Realm. If any Sea Opening Realm cultivators with no foresight came to provoke him, they would not be able to leave alive.

Even if he later broke through to the Vital Spirit Realm, Han Li would not immediately announce it. Instead, he would find the right opportunity to reveal his mid-level Sea Opening Realm cultivation, continuing to mislead others.

In this way, if any forces were to pursue the pill formula and found out that he was just a small cultivator at the Sea Opening Realm, at most they would send a Vital Spirit Realm cultivator to snatch it and silence him.

With Han Li's cultivation at the Vital Spirit Realm, even if he couldn't win, he would have enough time to dodge and resist.

If possible, Han Li also wanted to store more cultivation so that he could break through on the spot and catch his enemies off guard.

"You think I'm on the first floor, but in reality, I'm at the Southern Heaven Gate!"

As time passed day by day, Han Li continued to stay in the Han Residence, living a blissful life with his concubines.

No forces came to investigate the pill formula, and Han Li began to think that he might have been overly cautious, but he still did not let his guard down.

Newcomer, new book, seeking support, investment, and recommendations!
