Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

“The Artifact Refining Diaries”!

Day One of Refining the Treasure: The ancient era possessed supreme treasures, which have persisted after the age, yet do the abilities of these ancient treasures surpass even those of today?

After acquiring the supreme treasure, in order to enhance his own strength, Ancestor Han steel his resolve to refine it. He aimed to imprint his core mark deep inside the treasure, to completely claim this artifact for himself.

The treasure possessed a divine spirit that resisted fiercely, not wanting to be easily refined by him. It unleashed the full force of its abilities, proving to be immensely powerful. It battled against Ancestor Han for a full day and night, leaving Han battered and bloody. Relying on his profound cultivation and extraordinary strength, he only just managed to prevail.

Summary: Only by narrow margins can one break through.

Day Two of Refining the Treasure: The treasure’s grade was too high, its power too formidable; Ancestor Han’s cultivation was slightly inadequate, not enough to easily subdue and refine the spirit within the treasure.

But could Ancestor Han possibly be considered a brute? He was exceedingly patient, in no rush at all. He planned to slowly confront the artifact, believing that one day he would refine it. By then, having tamed the spirit within, this treasure would be fully at his disposal.

This was, after all, a supreme treasure—a relic of ancient battles against the heavens and the earth, having slain countless mighty saints. It was rather temperamental, seemingly unwilling to acknowledge Han Li as its master. It struggled fiercely, eroding the Gang Yuan that Han Li imbued it with.

For the sake of having a means to establish a foothold in the future and a powerful safeguard for preserving his life, Ancestor Han was truly patient this time.

He engaged the treasure’s spirit in a tug-of-war. Whenever the spirit was off guard, he would quickly infuse a great deal of Gang Yuan. When the spirit caught on and began to struggle, Ancestor Han would slowly withdraw most of the Gang Yuan, leaving only a part behind. This way, the spirit would not resist too sharply.

This was the experience Ancestor Han had gathered from his last attempt.

Summary: The treasure’s resistance is weakening.

Day Three of Refining the Treasure: Ancestor Han made a significant breakthrough. After repeating the operations of the second day thousands of times, the spirit of the treasure slowly began to accept his might. It seemed to have realized that resisting Han Li was futile and only detrimental to itself.

Hence, when Han Li once again infused Gang Yuan and imprinted his core mark during the refining process, the resistance he faced upon entry decreased drastically and felt notably smoother.

Summary: A phase of victory.

Day Four of Refining the Treasure: Ancestor Han successfully refined the treasure. No matter the manner in which he infused Gang Yuan, it entered effortlessly into the heart of the treasure. The treasure’s spirit was tamed and acknowledged him as its master.

Summary: The treasure has now become an extension of Ancestor Han.

“Sigh.”

Having finished his Artifact Refining Diaries, Ancestor Han let out a long sigh. These past few days, the fierce battle with the artifact’s spirit had truly drained him.

Fortunately, the result was gratifying; the treasure had taken on his imprint, he could wield it as if it was a part of him, no longer fearing that it might be taken by others.

At this moment, Ancestor Han felt the urge to proclaim to the heavens: “I,

Ancestor Han, have finally obtained my second supreme treasure!”

At the summit of Chengdao Peak, Han Li stood tall, gazing at the beautiful sunset, feeling an unusual sense of comfort.

Just then, a cool figure descended, her voice as cold as ice:

“Are you pleased?”

Jiang Baiye looked at Han Li’s excited demeanor, feeling a maddening itch — that scoundrel had utterly ruined her.

She had only been married to Han Li for a few days, and he had already come up with all sorts of new experiences, making Jiang Baiye feel as though she had entered a new world.

While her body was honest, Jiang Baiye was the foremost Sword Immortal of Sanzhou, with a delicate reputation, and she firmly refused to admit to anything.

Han Li embraced her, fondly entwining and murmuring endearments to her, then said affectionately, “Jiang Jiang, of course I’m happy. We’ve formed a bond that goes beyond life and death.”

“Pah- Shameless!”

Jiang Baiye blushed instantly, the typically icy Sword Immortal losing herself to the mortal realm, a hint of charming beauty emerging.

Her soft, boneless hand involuntarily stroked her flat abdomen, whispering, “It can’t be so soon.”

Although Jiang Baiye said this, when her hand wandered there, she indeed felt a faint sign of life.

Her God Refining Realm late-stage cultivation hadn’t been sealed by Han Li, and even though less than a week had passed, the inception of new life couldn’t escape her perception.

Touching her stomach, an involuntary maternal glow appeared on Jiang Baiye’s stunning face, as she fantasized about her belly growing day by day and the eventual birth of a new life; a smile crept onto her beautiful face.

The vision caused Han Li to stare in awe, leading him to capture her enticing lips with his own.

Only after a long while did Han Li release her, Jiang Baiye, in frustration, gave him several hits, although without much force. Her daydreaming of a beautiful future had been rudely interrupted by this shameless lecher.

“Jiang Jiang, do you feel an improvement in aptitude?” Han Li nibbled on her earlobe and whispered softly in the ear of Sword Immortal Jiang Baiye.

Warm breath tickled her, causing Jiang Baiye to feel a bit flustered, but she reported truthfully, “No.”

Han Li frowned slightly, “That’s strange, shouldn’t the Body-Cultivating

Furnace raise aptitude?”

“I’m already Fourth Grade in aptitude, having already used the Body-Cultivating Furnace to enhance it; it’s not possible to rise to Third Grade,” Jiang Baiye said softly, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

For Fourth Grade individuals, advancing to the Myriad Phenomena Realm wasn’t a big problem, but to ascend to the True Martial Realm and become an Emperor Wu, the difficulty was immense — it required a tremendous stroke of luck.

“Jiang Jiang, don’t worry. With me here, your advancement to the True Martial Realm is assured,” Han Li proclaimed with sincerity and heartfelt earnestness.
