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

Chapter 16: Reading about the Changsheng Family, Appreciating the Life of the Ancestor

Han Li reached the peak of the Innate realm at the age of 120, but it took him 75 years to break through to the Sea Opening Realm, which was not without its difficulties.

Even if we count from the time he was in Lingjun City, it took him 45 years, despite his ninth-grade aptitude.

Now he has already reached the Vital Spirit Realm, and it only took him 12 years to go from the Sea Opening Realm to the Vital Spirit Realm. He has also accumulated 65 years of cultivation. If he absorbs it all, he estimates that he can advance to the mid-stage of the Vital Spirit Realm.

His cultivation aptitude has also improved to the seventh grade. It can be said that the further he goes, the faster his cultivation progresses. His cultivation speed can be described as soaring all the way!

Appreciating the life of the Changsheng Family, the ancestor.

If most cultivators had such a cultivation speed, they would have long been full of confidence and fame, becoming renowned geniuses in their own right, eager to let others know about their great opportunities.

But Han Li is different. He remains as steady as an old dog, avoiding the limelight as much as possible. He has been low-key for many years, and others still think he is only at the first or second level of the Sea Opening Realm. His secret to longevity can be summed up in one word: caution!

However, Han Li is now hesitating whether or not to participate in the next auction in Fengyang Prefecture.

Every fifty years, Fengyang Prefecture holds a large-scale auction led by the Prefecture Lord, with the support of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Each auction is very lively, and cultivators from neighboring prefectures come to participate, all hoping to acquire their desired treasures.

The Han family also has a presence in Fengyang Prefecture and has gathered quite a bit of information. It is said that several pill formulas will appear at this auction, at least of the eighth grade, and there are even rumors of seventh-grade pill formulas.

This makes Han Li very envious, as he is currently lacking pill formulas of eighth grade or higher.

This auction in Fengyang Prefecture is destined to attract many strong participants. Sea Opening Realm cultivators from neighboring prefectures, and even Vital Spirit Realm experts, will likely come.

Han Li wants the pill formulas, and so do others. There will be competition. Even if he successfully acquires the pill formulas, Han Li will become famous. This is something Han Li doesn't really want to see.

People fear fame like pigs fear fattening!

Han Li often takes history as a lesson, reminding himself not to be too ostentatious. He wants to break through and live a long life in a low-key manner, always being cautious and doing things with certainty.

The laws of the Great Qian Dynasty are relatively strict. It is not allowed to act recklessly within the city, otherwise the law enforcement team will apprehend or even kill the offender.

But outside the city, there are not so many rules. Killing and looting are common occurrences. If one is killed and their treasures are taken, they can only blame their own lack of strength and bad luck.

The Great Qian Dynasty does not care, nor does it have the energy to care. As long as there is no trouble within the cities, it is fine.

The previous Qian Emperor was extremely domineering and had immeasurable strength. During his reign, it was considered a peak period for the Great Qian Dynasty, but he offended too many forces.

The current Qian Emperor is not strong enough and lacks the means to control such a vast empire, which has led to a decline in the Great Qian Dynasty. If it weren't for the possibility of hidden True Martial Realm ancestors within the Great Qian Dynasty, the Kurong Monastery, Yin Yang Sect, and the Dajing Dynasty would have already made their moves.

Although Han Li has been in Lingjun City for so many years, he has always been dedicated to collecting information, giving him a feeling of knowing everything without leaving his home. He clearly perceives that the ruling power of the Great Qian Dynasty is declining, and there will be major events happening in the next five hundred years, or even the next two hundred years.

If Han Li successfully acquires the pill formulas at the auction, he will undoubtedly offend those who are competing for them. There is a chance that he will be attacked outside the city. Even if Han Li can easily counterattack, it will expose his strength, unless he finds a place where no one is around to make a move.

If the person behind the attacker has some influence and realizes that Han Li has gone missing for a long time after the incident, it will eventually lead to an investigation that will implicate Han Li.

"Sigh, there are risks in everything. It's impossible to have no risks at all," Han Li sighed.

Even if one were to live in Lingjun City, keeping an extremely low profile, there are still unpredictable risks. It's possible that a battle between powerful individuals could affect Lingjun City, or one might encounter an old devil who practices demonic arts and slaughters cities.

However, the probability of these events occurring is extremely low, much lower than the risks associated with other matters.

Since the risks are quite significant and there are many variables, Han Li has decided not to participate in the large auction of Fengyang Mansion. He can always spend more time and eventually gather enough pill formulas.

After making this decision, Han Li no longer worries about when the auction will be held or what incredible treasures will appear. They have nothing to do with him.

For the next two months, Han Li continues to stay in the Han Mansion, enjoying the flowers, arranging flowers, refining pills, reading books, playing with jade, and watching dances.

On this day, while Han Li is leisurely enjoying the flowers with the women, he suddenly receives a system prompt.

"You have reached a total of fifty descendants with cultivation qualifications. You gain twenty years of cultivation, one seventh-grade longevity pill, and thirty years of refining experience."

"Hmm?"

Han Li blinks his eyes and realizes that there is also something good among these rewards.

Thirty years of refining experience is almost enough to make him an eighth-grade refiner and open up a source of wealth for the Han family, temporarily solving the problem that has been troubling him.

Since the spirit stones earned from selling pills are not enough, he can sell weapons again!

Weapons are a necessity, whether it's for Innate Realm, Sea Opening Realm, or below Innate Realm cultivators. To improve their strength, they all need to buy several weapons to arm themselves.

With a powerful weapon, cultivators can even challenge opponents of higher realms.

Han Li receives the thirty years of refining experience and spends some time absorbing it. He gains a wealth of knowledge, techniques, and various experiences related to refining.

He continues to save the twenty years of cultivation. He already has eighty-five years of cultivation in his account, which is more than half of his target.

Han Li also saves the seventh-grade longevity pill. Although it can only increase ten years of lifespan and is only effective for cultivators below the Soul Refining Realm, its value is still very high. If he were to auction it, it would be worth at least a thousand middle-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to ten thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

Innate Realm cultivators can't even dream of it, but Sea Opening Realm peak cultivators can consider it. However, treasures like the longevity pill are priceless and difficult to obtain.

In recent years, Han Li has also obtained quite a few seventh-grade longevity pills. He has used some for his concubines, so now he only has four left in stock.

He wouldn't easily sell such treasures as the longevity pill, as it would easily attract the attention of some barely surviving Vital Spirit Realm cultivators.

Soon, Han Li makes a list of refining materials and refining blueprints for the Han family descendants to collect.

Alchemy requires pill formulas, and refining naturally requires blueprints. Han Li is only equivalent to an eighth-grade refiner, so he can't just take a look at a weapon and immediately refine it.

The steps, techniques, and required material ratios during refining, as well as the need to engrave formations for some powerful spiritual weapons and treasures to enhance their power, are all things Han Li can't imagine.

The legendary divine weapons and immortal treasures have immeasurable power. With a single strike, they can turn the world upside down. It's something Han Li can't even imagine.
