Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

During this period, the Xuan Domain remained peaceful with no significant incidents, and the same could be said for the Daqian Empire.

Inhabitants of the Capital City of Da Qian, however, felt far from tranquil, owing to the fact that the Manor Lord of the Li Manor had taken new wives and concubines again during these two months.

The Li Manor’s lord had taken a wife and accepted concubines three times in quick succession, marrying one wife and bringing in three concubines, sparking heated discussions. Still, the talks did not last long as everyone had grown used to it.

Above the Chong Xiao Pavilion, Han Li was gazing at the Daqian Imperial Palace, showing no intent to act.

Two months prior, he had broken through to the first layer of the True Martial Realm. His combat ability had reached the pinnacle of the True Martial Realm, a shocking and awe-inspiring level, making him one of the top two paramount experts in the Xuan Domain.

With his current strength, he could easily infiltrate the Daqian Imperial Palace, kill Chu Dingqian, and seize the Soul-Cultivating Furnace.

But Han Li held back, deciding not to take action for the time being. He thought he might as well let Chu Dingqian live a little longer as a way to repay him for the resources he had traded.

Now, his primary goal was to capture the Demon King.

As two months passed, the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm was about to emerge—it was a matter of days. Han Li did not wish to involve himself in extraneous matters before this.

Of course, this did not interfere with his marrying and taking in concubines. In the span of those two months, he married a wife and accepted three concubines, and successfully impregnated all of them.

All three concubines were Fifth Grade in terms of cultivation aptitude. One was a princess of the Daqian Empire, a daughter of Emperor Qian. Han Li did not understand why he had an epiphany—the daughters of Chu Wuji were still many and single.

The other two were twins from the Mentor of Daqian’s household, the Mentor’s younger daughters.

Because they met all of Han Li’s standards in aptitude and beauty, he did not decline. He was aware of the intentions of Emperor Qian and the Mentor, though he said little about it.

The fourth wife was named Feng Ziyue, a woman of exceptional beauty who rivaled Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi, also possessing Fourth Grade aptitude and God Refining Realm cultivation, hailing from the Feng Family of Liangzhou.

The Feng Family was a Myriad Phenomena Realm family of Da Qian, with an ancestor who was a Great Grandmaster of the same Realm. The current family head was a Guru in the Hollow Void Stage, and Feng Ziyue was his daughter.

Feng Ziyue proactively married into the Li Manor, seeking protection and hoping to obtain a Lifespan Extension Pill for the Feng Family’s ancestor.

The lifespan of the Feng Family’s ancestor was nearing its end, with only a decade or so remaining. Without a new Great Grandmaster in the Myriad Phenomena Realm, the family would face inevitable destruction at the hands of their envious enemies.

Thus, Feng Ziyue came with this in mind, and even if the Manor Lord of the Li Manor could not provide a Lifespan Extension Pill, just by becoming one of the manor’s ladies, the Feng Family’s enemies would not dare to act against them.

She had learned about the three main wives of the Li Manor; their beauty was comparable to hers, and none had a temperament like hers. Their aptitudes and cultivation levels were similar, and they had all become main wives. Feng Ziyue was confident that she could be too.

Han Li did not disappoint her, presenting the Feng Family with a great number of precious betrothal gifts, including a Fifth Grade Longevity Pill.

A Fifth Grade Longevity Pill was primarily intended for masters of the Hollow Void Stage, adding fifty years to their lifespan, but it was also beneficial to a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, providing an additional twenty years.

Han Li had a purpose for offering the Lifespan Extension Pills; he wanted to fish, not to have others come and plot for them. With his True Martial the strength, who would dare to attempt to seize a Fifth Grade Longevity Pill beneficial to individuals of the Hollow Void and Myriad Phenomena Stages?

He aimed to entice those families and sects with powerful members nearing the end of their lives. Learning that Han Li had Lifespan Extension Pills and was using them as dowries would certainly set their hearts ablaze, and they would actively offer beautiful women with high cultivation quality to Lord Han.

Sure enough, when the news spread, it caused great unrest among the upper echelons of various powers; the Fifth Grade Longevity Pill was precisely what they needed in the Myriad Phenomena and Hollow Void Stages.

Feng Ziyue was the first wife Han Li had taken in these two months. The princess of Emperor Qian and the daughters of the Mentor were accepted later, and they came with the same intention.

Sending Fifth Grade qualified daughters into the Li Manor was merely a probe. If they could obtain a Fifth Grade Longevity Pill, they wouldn’t need to make any greater sacrifices—an alternative would be considered if they didn’t acquire one.

Naturally, Han Li did not grant their wish. He did not have many Fifth Grade Longevity Pills on hand, and he would only consider them as dowries for Fourth Grade beauties.

Once his descendants with qualifications reached a hundred or two hundred, he gained three Fifth Grade Longevity Pills. When the number hit three hundred, Han Li acquired five more, totaling eleven pills.

After giving one as a dowry to Feng Ziyue, he was left with ten.

For a long time, his offspring and their consorts would not require Fifth Grade Longevity Pills. Besides, he would continuously receive more from the system. Therefore, when Feng Ziyue made her request, Han Li gave it some thought and agreed.

At that time, he had already entertained the idea of using the Fifth Grade Longevity Pill as an implicit condition to exchange for beauties with Fourth Grade qualifications. With ten pills left, acquiring ten Fourth Grade beautiful wives would be an excellent deal.

Indeed, a beauty with Fourth Grade aptitude could not be gained with just a Fifth Grade Longevity Pill; it served primarily as a bait. Powers sending their beautiful women to marry into the Li Manor would also receive an abundance of cultivation resources as a betrothal gift.

They could additionally benefit from the influence of the Li Manor and the protection of its lord, a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu. They might even seek his tutoring among other advantages.

Han Li withdrew his gaze, smiling to himself as his figure disappeared from above the Chong Xiao Pavilion, returning to Han Mansion.

Over the last two months, forty-two descendants were born in Han Mansion. Some were from Han Li’s beautiful concubines, others from the consorts of his offspring, granting him numerous rewards.
