Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Of course, Han Li set a limit, for instance, if one of his descendants was of Seventh Grade talent with a wife of Eighth Grade talent, two concubines of Ninth Grade talent, and six descendants of Eighth Grade talent.

Then, this family of nine could exchange for thirty-one Rebirth Pills, and the talents of this family of nine would be elevated to the Fifth Grade, with their future offspring also highly likely to be of the Fifth Grade, or even if they were of the Sixth Grade, they could be improved with the Rebirth Pill.

When this policy was extended to the entire Han Mansion, the genetics of the Han Mansion would be continuously purified, with each generation of descendants born having increasingly higher talents, with the lowest being of the Fifth or Sixth Grade.

Not to mention the Life-Prolonging Furnace, which could further enhance these people’s talents, as long as they delivered results and then exchanged their contribution points for chances of purification by the Life-Prolonging Furnace, their talents could continue to be raised.

Over time, the foundation of the Han Mansion would become stronger and deeper, and Han Li would also gain endless benefits.

For example, if a large number of descendants with talents of the Fifth Grade and above were born, then he would receive massive feedback of talent, allowing his talent to reach Immortal Grade, elevating to an even higher level.

To advance from First Grade talent to Immortal Grade talent was already extremely difficult, not to mention the further enhancement from Immortal Grade talent; if the base foundation of the Han Mansion were not elevated, Han Li’s own talent improvement would consume a long period.

As the Rebirth Pills were manufactured for unlimited supply, Han Li once again adjusted the rules for the list of core descendants’ cultivation and the list of key descendants’ cultivation.

To become a key cultivated descendant, one needed to have a talent of Third Grade, or reach a certain level of comprehension, or have extremely strong capabilities, such as achieving something outstanding.

To become a core cultivated descendant, the talent needed to reach First Grade, or one needed to have a special physique, or meet standards in comprehension, capability, and so on.

As a result, the number on the list of key cultivated descendants drastically decreased, and even fewer were on the list of core cultivated descendants, currently only three – Han Yonglong, Han Yongqian, and Han Yongkun, all born within the same year.

Although the three were still far from the age of cultivation, they could still enjoy the benefits of the core cultivation list, solidifying their foundation and enhancing their heritage.

Han Li set the bar so high to increase the competitive vitality of the Han Mansion, otherwise, it would stagnate.

One hundred contribution points were very few; it was very simple for these descendants to rise to the talent of the Fifth Grade. Therefore, better incentives were needed to motivate them.

Outsiders of the Han Mansion, such as Guest Elders, protectors, servants and maids, among others, could also exchange for Rebirth Pills, but it required a substantial amount of contribution points, with one pill costing ten thousand contribution points, and still, there was a limited supply.

So far, Han Li had not announced this arrangement, but once he did, it was believed that it would cause a huge stir within the Han Mansion, and the members of the core cultivation list would significantly increase.

For instance, the descendants of Lu Tianxiang like Han Yongzhen, Han Yonglu, Han Yongxiang, and others, the descendants of Jiang Baiye such as Han Yongjiang, Han Yongye, Han Yongqiang, and so on, as well as the descendants of Yun Miaoyi, Gongsun Yue, Bai Keqing, and the wives from The Li Manor like Xue Qingyi, Chu Xianlin, Song Zhixuan, among others.

Although their descendants had not yet met the standards, they would undoubtedly reach them in the future, since they were wives of Han Li with high privileges, such as having the opportunity to be purified by the Life-Prolonging Furnace once a year.

With each purification by the Life-Prolonging Furnace, their talent would rise by one grade, reaching up to First Grade at most, with a maximum of three times per month. If there was a sufficient supply of Spirit Source, they could undergo purification six times a month.

Nowadays, with a Lower Grade imperial dragon vein on Chengsheng Mountain, the Life-Prolonging Furnace had ample energy to perform purification six times a month, which equaled seventy-two times a year.

This number may seem large, but actually, it’s quite limited, given that Han Li has dozens of wives, and their annual purification alone nearly accounts for half of the available opportunities, with the other half designated for descendants.

However, once these wives gradually elevate their talents to First Grade, this portion of opportunities will be freed up and become available for others to be purified.

If he were to announce the new cultivation system, many wives would likely choose to give their purification chances to their descendants to elevate them to First Grade talent and thereby enter the core list for descendant cultivation.

Unfortunately, resources are finite, and even his wives must wait their turn.

Han Li could not distribute them arbitrarily, favoring some over others, or it would dishearten his other wives and concubines. Having everyone adhere to the rules was better for all involved, and no one would have grounds for complaint.

For the sake of harmony in his harem, Han Li had always strived to treat everyone equally and fairly.

If his wives had the chance for purification by the Life-Prolonging Furnace, naturally his concubines did too, but due to their sheer number, Han Li, after some consideration, decided it would occur once every three years.

The concubines were quite satisfied with this arrangement; it was a good outcome for them. Their talents were at least of the Fifth Grade, some were originally higher, while others had been improved through the Rebirth Pills.

As long as they had the chance for purification from the Life-Prolonging Furnace, every three years they could advance one grade in talent, and within at most twelve years, they could reach First Grade. What was there to be dissatisfied with?

Once Han Li announced the new rules for cultivation, wives would compete for their children to be on the core cultivation list, and the concubines would do the same for the key cultivation list.

However, the children of these concubines were numerous; they themselves bore at least five, and each of their children had many more.

With too many descendants and purification chances coming only once every three years, they could only focus on cultivating one descendant first.
