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

Chapter 1: The Patriarch Takes Another Concubine

Lingjun City, on the main street.

The grand sedan chair led the way, followed by a massive wedding procession. Along the way, the sound of gongs and drums filled the air, creating a magnificent scene as they headed towards the Li Residence.

Soon after, the wedding procession successfully received the bride and began to return to the Han Residence.

The ten-mile-long wedding procession was filled with joy and celebration, like a golden dragon draped in red robes, extending all the way to the Han Residence.

"It seems that the Han Patriarch has taken another concubine!"

"I heard that this time, the concubine he took is the third young miss of the Li Residence. She is incredibly beautiful and has an unmatched appearance. She is the number one beauty in our Lingjun City."

"The Han Patriarch is truly fortunate. He is almost two hundred years old and yet he can still marry such a stunning beauty. It truly makes us envious."

"The Han Patriarch is a great powerhouse. With a stomp of his foot, the entire Lingjun City trembles. How can we ordinary mortals compare?"

On both sides of the street, many onlookers whispered to each other as they watched this grand scene.

At this moment, both inside and outside the Han Residence, there was an atmosphere of joy and happiness. Guests came and went, all with smiles on their faces, enjoying themselves.

The Han Residence had become the liveliest place in the entire city.

Ordinary people might not know, but those who were well-informed in Lingjun City knew that this was the first time the Han Patriarch had taken a concubine after breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm.

The Sea Opening Realm was a realm of true power!

Even in the capital city, one could become a dominant figure. Not to mention the small Lingjun City.

Previously, the strongest in Lingjun City was only at the Innate Ninth Layer. After the Han Patriarch's breakthrough, he directly became the strongest in Lingjun City.

Although the Han Patriarch broke through near the end of his life, a breakthrough was still a breakthrough. The difference in strength between the Sea Opening Realm and below the Sea Opening Realm was immense.

The Han Patriarch alone could easily sweep through the entire Lingjun City.

Therefore, all the major forces in Lingjun City came to congratulate the Han Residence and presented various precious gifts, all in an effort to establish a good relationship with the Han family.

The ordinary people of Lingjun City were also very happy because every time the Han Patriarch took a concubine, he would host a three-day and three-night feast, allowing the people of Lingjun City to eat and drink for free.

This was the best meal many poor people had all year, so naturally, they were very happy and praised the Han Patriarch.

Some families even directly worshipped the Han Patriarch, praying that he would take in more concubines every year.

The Han Residence was quite large, covering an area of three to four miles in diameter. But at this moment, it was overcrowded, with people of various statuses.

There were either high-ranking members or direct descendants of major forces, or wealthy merchants and even the city lord himself who came to congratulate.

It could be said that there were scholars and no ordinary people among the guests.

Many young and beautiful girls from Lingjun City had also gathered here, following the guests.

"Father, the Li family is one of the three major families in Lingjun City. Is it necessary to let our precious daughter become a concubine for the Han Patriarch?"

In a corner of the residence, a young man in luxurious clothing asked his middle-aged father in a low voice, his face showing some dissatisfaction.

The middle-aged man glanced at him and said coldly, "Put away your petty thoughts. The Han family is not someone we can afford to offend."

The third young miss of the Li family, Li Mingmeng, was the number one beauty in Lingjun City and had many suitors. His eldest son was one of them.

After giving his eldest son a fierce glare, he looked at the girl beside him and said softly, "Xiaowen, you must perform well later. If the Han Patriarch takes a liking to you, our Zhang family will soar to new heights."

"You don't have to worry. Although the Han Patriarch is almost two hundred years old, he has just broken through to the Sea Opening Realm, greatly increasing his lifespan. His appearance has also returned to his youth, handsome and extraordinary. He is a top-notch handsome man."

Conversations like this were happening in various corners of the Han Residence.

This is also the reason why they brought the beautiful girl to the Han family.

The breakthrough of the Han family's ancestor to the Sea Opening Realm this time means that the Lingjun City will be led by the Han family in the next hundred years. If they can establish a good relationship with the Han family, or even become relatives through marriage, then they will truly prosper.

After all, that is a powerful existence in the Sea Opening Realm!

With a strong presence in the Sea Opening Realm, the future of Lingjun City will be several times more prosperous, bringing huge benefits.

In the main hall of the Han family,

Han Li sat in the high seat, with a faint smile on his face, listening to the congratulations of his descendants and guests.

At this moment, he was in a good mood, even feeling relieved.

After nearly forty years of hard work, he finally broke through to the Sea Opening Realm, which greatly relieved him. Now he finally has enough lifespan.

As for marrying the first beauty of Lingjun City as his concubine, it was just a side benefit.

"I finally made it through." Han Li was in a very good mood.

More than a hundred years ago, when he crossed over to this world, he was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

His family background was not good, and the only thing he could be proud of was his aptitude.

In this world, in order to cultivate, one must have aptitude, which is innate and can hardly be improved later.

Without aptitude, one can only live an ordinary life as an ordinary person.

Those with aptitude can embark on the path of cultivation, gradually become stronger, and ultimately live a long and carefree life.

Of course, aptitude is also divided into levels, a total of ten grades, from the lowest to the highest: not qualified, ninth grade, eighth grade, first grade.

Those with the lowest aptitude can only cultivate up to the third realm of True Qi. Starting from the ninth grade aptitude, there is a chance to break through to the Innate realm. The better the aptitude, the easier the breakthrough.

Cultivating to the Innate realm is truly extraordinary, and lifespan will also greatly increase, up to two hundred years.

The Body Tempering realm, Blood Exchange realm, and True Qi realm do not increase lifespan, which remains the same as ordinary people, only the strength is different.

The better the aptitude, the faster the cultivation speed, and the greater the chance of reaching higher realms. Those with poor aptitude have a slow cultivation speed, and the further they go, the slower the cultivation speed becomes. If they want to reach higher realms, they must have sufficient cultivation resources or constantly obtain various opportunities.

Han Li only had an eighth-grade aptitude, which was considered outstanding in the county.

He was not satisfied with mediocrity and did not want to join a small sect, so he left Lingjun City and even Fengyang Prefecture to enter the vast Leizhou in search of cultivation opportunities.

In the end, after going through hardships, he barely passed the entrance test of a major sect in Leizhou and joined them.

At first, he was a named disciple. Han Li worked hard in cultivation, achieving the Body Tempering realm in three years, the Blood Exchange realm in nine years, and the peak of True Qi in twenty years.

Then he spent three years comprehending the heavens and the earth, condensing an Innate True Qi seed, and finally broke through to the Innate realm.

In other words, he started cultivation at the age of sixteen and took a total of thirty-five years to break through to the Innate realm.

This was because of his eighth-grade aptitude. If it were a ninth-grade aptitude, it would take at least sixty years to have a chance.

If he had a first-grade aptitude, it would only take about a year from the start of cultivation to breaking through to the Innate realm.

Once reaching the Innate realm, one would automatically become an outer disciple.

With the increase in cultivation resources, Han Li worked even harder. At the age of one hundred and twenty, he reached the peak of the Innate realm.

According to Han Li's aptitude, he originally had hope of breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm at around one hundred and fifty years old, but unfortunately, there was a mistake along the way.
