Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Han Mansion, the backyard.

“Truly a splendid treasure, no wonder it has allowed the Canghai Sect to survive for five thousand years without falling.”

Han Li toyed with the small furnace in his hand, exclaiming in awe.

During this period, he had already refined the Body-Cultivating Furnace and understood its functions. The more he understood, the more shocked he became.

There was a reason why Tianxuan Mountain couldn’t compare to the Canghai Sect.

As an Earth-Level Lower Rank magical treasure, the offensive and defensive powers of the Body-Cultivating Furnace were only equivalent to those of an ordinary Earth-Level Lower Rank magical treasure, but these were just the subsidiary powers of the Body-Cultivating Furnace.

The true purpose of the Body-Cultivating Furnace was to aid in cultivation, mainly with four major powers.

First, it increases the speed of cultivation. The Body-Cultivating Furnace automatically absorbs higher-level spiritual energy from the unknown, and within its range, the speed of cultivation can be increased by tenfold. This is only for the cultivation of one person. If the range is expanded, and more people cultivate within it, the effect will decrease.

The Body-Cultivating Furnace was placed by the Canghai Sect in a forbidden area under heavy protection of formations, with strict restrictions on the number of cultivators and the duration of cultivation. Even the Sect Master could not monopolize it by force.

To make better use of the Body-Cultivating Furnace, the Canghai Sect’s rule was that only one person could cultivate at a time, for a period of two months. Compared to quantity, the Canghai Sect valued quality more.

The Sect Master, Elders, and Core Disciples ranked in the top ten geniuses were qualified to use it, except for the Sect Master and Elders, who all needed to spend a large amount of Contribution Value and then queue up.

Of course, if one made great contributions, there was also a significant chance of obtaining an opportunity to cultivate within it.

Generally speaking, the Sect Master and Elders seldom used the Body-Cultivating Furnace to speed up cultivation. Their realms were already very high, and going there once to increase a year and a half of cultivation was of little significance.

Second, it breaks through realms. Half of the higher level spiritual energy absorbed by the Body-Cultivating Furnace is automatically intercepted and stored, condensed into a higher level spiritual liquid.

Consuming the higher level spiritual liquid has a chance to break the shackles of one’s realm. Below the God Refining Realm, the success rate is one hundred percent. Beyond the God Refining Realm, the probability gets lower and lower.

Third, it heals injuries. Using the higher level spiritual liquid can quickly repair physical injuries. Although it can’t achieve regeneration from a drop of blood, regrowing limbs is no problem, truly a lifesaving treasure.

Fourth, it improves aptitude. Long-term cultivation within the range of the Body-Cultivating Furnace, under the baptism of higher level spiritual energy, can improve one’s cultivation talent.

According to the Canghai Sect’s records, the worse the talent, the better the improvement effect. A Ninth Grade talent could improve by one grade after one cultivation, an Eighth Grade talent could improve after three times, Seventh Grade after ten times, Sixth Grade after twenty times, Fifth Grade after fifty times, and could only advance from Fifth to Fourth Grade at most. Those with Fourth Grade talent or higher could only increase a portion.

“Could the legend actually be true?”

Gazing at the Body-Cultivating Furnace in his hand with surprise and doubt, Han Li pondered.

Although it was an Earth-Level Lower Rank magical treasure, its powers were too terrifying, even more powerful than other Heaven Rank Lower Grade magical treasures he knew of.

Any one of its main powers could be considered a feature of an Earth-Level Supreme Magical Artifact. The normal Heaven Rank Lower Grade magical treasures that aid in cultivation only have two or three functions, and their effects are inferior to the Body-Cultivating Furnace.

Perhaps the Body-Cultivating Furnace truly is one of the replica items of the ancient Supreme Life Nurturing Furnace, only that after countless years, it has become damaged or perhaps sealed, leading to its grade falling to that of a Heaven Rank Lower Grade magical treasure.

If the speculation is true, how powerful would a Heaven-Level Supreme Grade Body-Cultivating Furnace be? What about the other replica item, the Soul-Cultivating Furnace? What are its powers?

The Supreme Life Nurturing Furnace, this legendary supreme divine weapon, what kind of unfathomable power might it possess?

Han Li shook his head, feeling it was better to be realistic. Complete Body-Cultivating Furnaces, Soul-Cultivating Furnaces, and the legendary Life-Prolonging Furnace were too far out of reach for him.

“How can I make use of this Body-Cultiva ting Furnace?” Han Li was somewhat troubled.

Possessing a valuable treasure but unable to use it freely for fear that if the news leaked out, the Han Family would be destroyed in an instant.

With the Body-Cultivating Furnace, he no longer needed to rely on the System to temporarily improve his aptitude. To raise his aptitude from a seventh-grade to a sixth-grade, he only had to cultivate within the scope of the Body-Cultivating Furnace for a year and a half.

Speeding up cultivation was useless to Han Li; he was too lazy to cultivate; healing injuries was good, but temporarily unnecessary; making a realm breakthrough was very powerful, but it required the accumulation of higher level spiritual energy for over a year.

After some thought, Han Li planned out how to use the Body-Cultivating

Furnace.

Normally, it would be placed in his oversized bedroom, hidden by an array formation, so his concubines would not discover it and inadvertently leak the secret due to gossip.

When Han Li and his concubines played the game of ‘Fight the Landlord’, he could improve their aptitudes, accelerate their cultivation, and when they were close to a breakthrough, he could secretly control the Body-Cultivating Furnace to infuse them with spiritual energy.

If he had to leave, he would take the Body-Cultivating Furnace with him to prevent any accidents, and also as an additional safeguard. Although the offensive power of the Body-Cultivating Furnace was weak, it compared to

Earth Rank Lower Grade Treasures and could save lives in a critical moment.

Both the Body-Cultivating Furnace and the Rebirth Pill could enhance aptitude, one up to Fourth Grade and the other up to Fifth Grade, both requiring time.

Han Li decided to pursue both, to be strong on all fronts. For now, he couldn’t overtly allow his concubines and family descendants to use the Body-Cultivating Furnace, but the Rebirth Pill was an option.

Of course, the assignment of the Rebirth Pill also needed careful choice of recipients, for not everyone could receive such a precious thing, with rare materials and difficult refinement ensuring they would always be scarce.

“Still lacking in strength,” he sighed.

If he were Grandmaster Wanxiang, or even Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, he could openly use the Body-Cultivating Furnace and Rebirth Pill— who would dare to plunder them?

But Han Li was currently just a cultivator at the peak of the Gangyuan Realm and still far from the Myriad Phenomena Realm and the True Martial Realm, so he clearly knew he still had to lay low.

Although he still needed to develop in the shadows, Han Li was pleased; the Rebirth Pill was not yet perfected, but the Body-Cultivating Furnace was already in effect.

Han Li had previously worried a great deal about his concubines’ low cultivation talents. With their low aptitude, they could hardly reach high cultivation realms Decause memr cultivation speea was coo Slow co support tne longevity needed to advance.

Unless they encountered fortuitous adventures that increased their aptitude, or gained a vast array of cultivation resources to accelerate their cultivation, they had a chance to level up step by step.

For the concubines, Han Li was their greatest opportunity. He was deeply concerned about their cultivation talent and always tried his hardest with each one.

Han Li didn’t want to see his concubines, as beautiful as flowers and captivating as cities, perish like vanishing incense, leaving his side; that would be unbearable.

As he looked back on the countless ages and oversaw the cycle of epochs, standing alone in eternity, the solitude was just too much for him to accept.

Motivated Han Li immediately got up and returned to his bedroom to summon Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, and the others in succession. He was going to teach them and increase their infusion of spiritual energy, to speed up their cultivation.

After instructing everyone at different spots in the bedroom, all the women were exhausted but felt they had benefited greatly, as their cultivation had significantly increased, and they silently marveled at why this session was so effective.

However, they did not ask questions, attributing it to Han Li’s advancement in cultivation, which they believed had improved the efficacy of his instruction and spiritual energy transmission.

One day, as Han Li was enjoying the flowers and watching dances in the back garden, frolicking with his many concubines, the layabout who had been missing for a year came looking for him..
