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

Chapter 51: Closed-door Cultivation

After becoming a disciple of Gong Sunyun, Han Li gained many benefits. He received twenty thousand medium-grade spirit stones, which is equivalent to two million low-grade spirit stones.

He also obtained a Divine Nurturing Pill, a Profound Inquiry Sword, a Five Elements Destruction Formation, three Breaking Formation Beads, and two Small Teleportation Talismans. Gong Sunyun also taught him the strongest technique of Tianxuan Mountain, the Tianxuan Secret Manual, as well as two supreme martial arts, the Xuantian Fist and the Godslayer Sword Technique.

The Divine Nurturing Pill is a sixth-grade pill that assists in advancing from the Vital Spirit Realm to the Soul Refining Realm. There is only one pill, and each pill increases the success rate by twenty percent, making it extremely effective.

The Profound Inquiry Sword is a Profound Grade top-tier spiritual weapon, usually used by Soul Refining Realm cultivators. The Five Elements Destruction Formation is a sixth-grade formation. Gong Sunyun specially bestowed it upon Han Li, considering that he would be staying in Lingjun City for a long time. It is used to defend against enemies at the Soul Refining Realm. Even an Empty Void Grandmaster would take five to six breaths to break through it.

There is one sixth-grade Breaking Formation Bead and two seventh-grade Breaking Formation Beads to prevent Han Li from being trapped in the formation. The Small Teleportation Talisman randomly teleports a person tens of thousands of miles away.

The Tianxuan Secret Manual is an Earth Grade top-tier cultivation technique divided into nine levels, with each level corresponding to a realm. In theory, one can cultivate to the peak of the Myriad Manifestations Realm. However, apart from the founder of the sect, no one in Tianxuan Mountain has reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

The Xuantian Fist is an Earth Grade top-tier martial art, and the Godslayer Sword Technique is an Earth Grade high-tier martial art. Both are supreme arts at the level of the Myriad Manifestations Realm and can be considered extremely precious.

After understanding the value of these items, Han Li was shocked. Besides the Body Nurturing Furnace and the Rebirth Pill formula, nothing else on him could compare to these items. After all, the Rebirth Pill was only a seventh-grade longevity pill. Unless there was a fifth-grade longevity pill, it couldn't be compared.

Han Li felt a little ashamed of Gong Sunyun's generosity. He had been on guard against Gong Sunyun's tricks before, but of course, this feeling of shame quickly passed. If it happened again, he would still act the same way.

Not everyone was as wholehearted as Gong Sunyun. Human hearts are the most complex and difficult to fathom, and Han Li deeply understood this.

In the cultivation world, one must be careful. A small mistake could lead to a great loss, and there might not be a chance to turn things around again.

Han Li kept Gong Sunyun's kindness in his heart. Besides his parents, this was the first time someone had treated him so well.

If there were any difficulties in Tianxuan Mountain, and he had the strength, even if it meant taking some risks, he would come to help.

In the Xuantian Hall, the sect leader Gong Sunyun smiled and said, "Disciple, in a few days, I will announce that I am accepting you as a closed-door disciple."

"Before you, I have accepted a total of eight disciples. Including you, there are nine in total. You are the latest to join, but your cultivation level is the highest."

Feeling Gong Sunyun's sharp gaze, Han Li forced a bitter smile and said, "Master, you can announce the news, but it's better not to reveal my cultivation level."

Originally, Han Li, who was ordinary in Tianxuan Mountain, suddenly becoming a closed-door disciple of the sect leader would definitely cause a sensation. If his cultivation level were leaked, it would likely bring some trouble.

He had worked hard to conceal his cultivation level. If it were known to the outside world, it would have a negative impact, especially since he had many potential enemies.

"Up to you."

Gong Sunyun nodded and didn't dwell on this point. He would only tell a few people and instruct them not to leak the information.

"By the way, you should stay in Tianxuan Mountain for now. After successfully converting the techniques, learn the Xuantian Fist and the Godslayer Sword Technique before leaving the mountain. If you have any questions, you can come to me for guidance at any time."

Gong Sunyun had high hopes for this disciple who understood the art of hiding his abilities. Although he had many disciples at the Vital Spirit Realm and even some with fifth-grade aptitude, it was difficult for them to cultivate to the Empty Void Realm.

Having aptitude and techniques doesn't mean one can smoothly cultivate to higher realms. The path of cultivation has various obstacles that need to be overcome through experience and tempering in order to break through the limitations of each realm.

For example, Jiang Cheng, who had a sixth-grade aptitude, theoretically had the hope of reaching the Soul Refining Realm or even the Empty Void Realm. However, he was still stuck at the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm due to the tribulations of emotions.

The further one progresses on the path of cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. Aptitude is only an entry ticket, representing the realm one can roughly cultivate to.

For those whose qualifications are not enough but aspire to advance to a higher realm, they must find ways to improve their qualifications or seek other great opportunities to accelerate their cultivation speed in order to obtain an entry ticket.

Han Li agreed and left the Xuantian Hall with mixed feelings.

Throughout the whole process, Gong Sunyun never asked Han Li what opportunities he had obtained or what his current qualifications were. This trust made Han Li feel somewhat at a loss.

On the way to Tianxuan Mountain, although Han Li appeared calm, he was actually somewhat anxious, worried that something major would happen at Tianxuan Mountain.

But he did not expect that after returning, he would transform into a disciple of the Tianxuan Mountain's sect leader, directly promoted to a core disciple, and gain numerous benefits.

With the token given by Gong Sunyun, Han Li occupied a cave mansion on the Tianxuan Peak. He knew that he would have to live here for the next few years.

Han Li casually strolled around and found that the layout of the cave mansion was well divided. There were alchemy rooms, refining rooms, spirit medicine gardens, seclusion chambers, living rooms, bedrooms, and more.

The spiritual energy in the small courtyard of the inner courtyard was already abundant, about five times denser than the outside world. The spiritual energy here was even three times denser than the inner courtyard, with a high-grade gathering spirit array gathering the spiritual energy.

Soon, Han Li settled down on Tianxuan Peak and began cultivating diligently after many years.

He wanted to transform the true essence condensed by the Sacred Heart Technique into the true essence of the Tianxuan Secret Technique. The Sacred Heart Technique was only a middle-grade Profound Technique, while the Tianxuan Secret Technique was an extreme-grade Earth Technique. Once the transformation was completed, his strength would soar.

In addition, he also wanted to cultivate the two supreme techniques of the Tianxuan Mountain, the Profound Heaven Fist and the Godslayer Sword, and also practice the upper half of the Yin Yang Great Seal.

Since he had to cultivate anyway, he might as well cultivate them all together.

Originally, Han Li wanted to wait for the system's direct rewards, which would directly bring him to a perfect level. According to his estimate, the reward of an Earth-grade technique or martial skill would probably exceed a thousand in quantity.

But that would take at least several decades. Han Li couldn't wait. Plans couldn't keep up with changes. Who told the three supreme techniques to have such high grades? Cultivating them would enhance his strength, so Han Li didn't hesitate.

After cultivating in the cave mansion for a few days, Han Li came out of seclusion, not because he had succeeded in cultivation, but because he needed to do something.

During these few days, the news that Han Li had been accepted as a closed-door disciple by the sect leader spread throughout Tianxuan Mountain. At Han Li's request, there was no grand ceremony to accept disciples. He wanted to keep a low profile.

He found a junior martial brother to go to the Lingjun City in Fengyang Prefecture to deliver a message, informing the Han family that he was safe. Otherwise, if he didn't return for a long time, not only would the Han family worry, but other forces in Fengyang Prefecture would also have suspicions.

This junior martial brother was only at the third level of the Sea Opening Realm, and he had a good relationship with Han Li. Han Li trusted him to handle this matter.

The junior martial brother readily agreed without asking for any reward. Although he didn't know why Han Li was accepted as a disciple by the sect leader, he was happy for Han Li.

With this relationship with Han Li, his influence in Tianxuan Mountain would also increase. If Han Li broke through to the Vital Spirit Realm and became a great cultivator, he would also mentor him.

After finishing the task, Han Li returned to his own cave mansion and continued to cultivate in seclusion. He wanted to complete his cultivation as soon as possible and return to Lingjun City.

It had been a long time since he had spent time with Lin Yiwu, Lin Yiyin, and other concubines, teaching them and imparting them with techniques. Han Li missed them.

After a few more days, a voice suddenly sounded outside the cave mansion.

"Han Junior Martial Brother, are you there?"
