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

Chapter 123: Xiang Xiang Gives Birth

That evening, Han Li quietly returned to the Qingyun Mansion in Leizhou with Lu Tianxiang.

After Lu Tianxiang had arranged everything and dealt with any potential troubles, Han Li brought her back to the carriage.

Now that all the troubles had been resolved, it was time for the Han Family's migration caravan to continue moving forward. They would enter the territory of Jizhou tomorrow.

Han Li decided to keep a low profile and try not to take action. Since he had revealed his cultivation level of the Soul Refining stage, it was unlikely that anyone foolish would come looking for trouble with the Han Family's migration caravan.

During this period of time, Han Li decided to speed up the progress of certain matters, such as improving the aptitude of his concubines. This naturally required a large-scale transmission of Dao teachings and elixirs.

He had already promised to return the Body Nurturing Stove to the Canghai Sect in ten years. This ten-year period would be enough to greatly improve the aptitude of concubines like Qiu Yueyao and Li Mingmeng.

The Transformation Pill was about to be refined. The Body Nurturing Stove was not of much use to him anymore. The Transformation Pill could raise a person's aptitude to the highest fifth grade with just a few pills.

Although the Body Nurturing Stove had a better effect, raising aptitude to the fourth grade, it required a lot of time and each improvement in a cultivator's aptitude would consume a large amount of accumulated high-grade spiritual liquid.

Even if he continued to control the Body Nurturing Stove, it would be almost impossible to promote all his concubines to the fourth grade aptitude. It would take at least thousands of years for dozens of concubines.

After all, the Body Nurturing Stove was only a low-grade Heaven Grade treasure. It was already incredible that it had such an effect. The Canghai Sect had relied on this precious treasure for generations.

If there was a fourth grade aptitude successor in the present generation, they would use the Body Nurturing Stove to raise their aptitude, and then strive to cultivate a new fourth grade aptitude successor.

If there was no fourth grade aptitude successor in the present generation, they would focus on cultivating a fifth grade aptitude disciple and help them advance to the fourth grade aptitude.

After Qiu Yueyao, Li Mingmeng, and other concubines took the Transformation Pill, their aptitude would be raised to the fifth grade, greatly increasing their chances of advancing to the Empty Void Realm. There would be no need for the Body Nurturing Stove.

When Han Li's future cultivation level became higher, he could go and find treasures to improve aptitude.

The next day, the migration caravan set off, crossed the state border, and officially entered the territory of Jizhou.

During the following period of time, Han Li became busy. During the day, he spent half of his time with Lu Tianxiang and the rest of the time with his other concubines. At night, he taught them and improved their cultivation by imparting Dao teachings.

Although he was busy, Han Li enjoyed it.

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

Since Han Li led the Han Family's migration from Leizhou to the current region, more than a year had passed.

The migration caravan passed through the various mansions in Jizhou and received the same treatment as in Qingzhou.

Facing a family in the Soul Refining stage, those small families and forces wanted to establish a good relationship. After all, the Han Family would not settle in Jizhou and would not encroach on their resources and influence.

Naturally, Han Li welcomed all of them.

Any beautiful female cultivators who were sent over, as long as their aptitude was below the eighth grade, were all chosen by the descendants of those with high aptitude. They would marry or become concubines, contributing to the Han Family's population growth.

As a result, the Han Family gained dozens more pregnant women, and the total population of the Han Family further increased. Han Li looked at this with great joy.

These children are born with the ability to bring him decades of cultivation and lifespan. When they grow up and marry, they can continue to reproduce, and that's how the Han family has grown step by step.

In Jeju, Han Li took in two beautiful concubines, one with a rank eight aptitude and the other with a rank seven aptitude. These two concubines are from the same sect and have a master-disciple relationship.

Zhang Yuyan is the sect master of this sect, with a rank seven aptitude and cultivation in the Sea Opening Realm. Her disciple is named Zhang Lan, with a rank eight aptitude and only True Qi stage cultivation.

According to them, the sect is struggling to survive. They lack resources and have trouble recruiting disciples. They are also suppressed by other forces.

It is said that the Han family passed by Jeju, and inside there is a renowned master of concubines. After discussing it, they decided to become concubines of Han Li.

A family with a Soul Refining stage has enough resources to support them in continuing their cultivation and advancing to higher realms. They don't have to worry about the future of the sect and have a Soul Refining stage master as their backing.

Han Li found the reason somewhat amusing but still accepted them. Since they came to offer themselves as concubines, and their aptitudes were above his new standards for concubines, there was no reason not to accept them.

Although Zhang Yuyan is quite old, she is only in her seventies and has taken good care of herself. She looks like she's in her thirties and is a mature and beautiful woman. She claims to still have her primordial yin.

Age is not a problem for Han Li. He gave Zhang Yuyan a Youth-Retaining Pill, and her appearance instantly became ten years younger. Standing next to Zhang Lan, they looked like a pair of sisters.

Moreover, Zhang Yuyan and Zhang Lan are master and disciple, which is also a bonus.

That night, Han Li personally tested them and was very satisfied. Zhang Yuyan did not lie; the taste was very refreshing.

Zhang Lan was also good, although not as refreshing as Zhang Yuyan, but she had youthful vitality and was extremely tender.

Currently, this master and disciple have been pregnant for three months under Han Li's diligent cultivation.

These few months have been a time of harvest for Han Li. His concubines have given birth to offspring one after another, and their offspring have also been born successively, causing Han Li's accumulated cultivation to skyrocket.

Han Li was lost in thought when he heard a system prompt in his ears. His face lit up, and he kissed Lutianxiang.

"Your number of offspring has exceeded seven hundred. You gain fifty years of cultivation, six Sea Opening Pills, three Gathering Qi Pills, and you gain the Earth Grade middle-grade martial technique [Shenhuang Zhenyu Finger]."

"Awesome!" Han Li was pleasantly surprised. This time, the rewards were even more generous.

Although the cultivation reward was still fifty years, the number of Sea Opening Pills and Gathering Qi Pills had increased. Especially the martial technique he had been looking forward to had finally arrived, and its grade had once again improved.

Last time, it was the Earth Grade lower-grade martial technique [Descending Dragon Palm], and this time it was the Earth Grade middle-grade martial technique [Shenhuang Zhenyu Finger], which sounded very powerful.

With the support of his embryonic form of the All-Encompassing Martial Dao, the Shenhuang Zhenyu Finger was almost comparable to an Earth Grade top-grade martial technique. Han Li was about to advance to the Myriad Manifestations Realm, and the embryonic form of the All-Encompassing Martial Dao would further improve. By then, when he used the martial technique, its power would increase significantly.

With the mastery of a new complete-level martial technique, he could create a new disguise. When encountering major troubles and needing to take action, he could use the new disguise to kill the enemy, and no one would know it was Han Li.

In addition to the fifty years of cultivation, the total amount of cultivation he had accumulated had reached 213 years, making it possible for him to advance to the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

After all, advancing to the Myriad Manifestations Realm only requires about 220 years of cultivation, possibly more or less.

However, Han Li planned to wait a little longer. He wasn't in a hurry. Currently, there were no external enemies, and the number of his aptitude offspring had already reached 196. In a while, it would reach two hundred, and then there would be a large amount of cultivation to be gained.

Moreover, Lutianxiang's child was about to be born. This child would at least have a rank four aptitude, and it might even be a rank three. If it was even more exceptional, it could be a rank two or even a rank one.

Han Li was just fantasizing. It was very difficult to achieve a rank two or rank one aptitude.

"What's making you so happy?"

Lu Tianxiang leaned against Han Li's chest, feeling his joyful emotions, and couldn't help but ask.

"Our child is about to be born, and every time I think about it, I'm overjoyed," Han Li lightly bit her earlobe and spoke softly.

A charming smile appeared on Lu Tianxiang's face, radiating with maternal radiance, adding a touch of charm and allure.

Although Lu Tianxiang knew that Han Li was thinking about something else, she was still happy when he said that. She didn't want to ask too much. If Han Li wanted to tell her, he would naturally say it.

After her cultivation was sealed, Lu Tianxiang became calmer during this period of time. Her mindset improved a lot. As the due date approached, her feelings for Han Li grew deeper, gradually enjoying the feeling of having Han Li by her side.

Han Li embraced her, his big hand resting on Lu Tianxiang's belly, gently stroking. He always had a smile on his face, a genuine smile from the heart.

This child was their first child, the bond between the two of them, and would also be his first descendant with a fourth or third-grade aptitude, which would bring him rich rewards.

With Han Li's cultivation, he could clearly sense that the child would be born in seven days, very healthy and full of spiritual energy.

In the Han Mansion, pregnant women would receive various nourishing items to ensure sufficient nutrition. If the conditions were good, they could even purchase or exchange for additional nourishing items. Even though they knew it wouldn't affect the aptitude, they were still enthusiastic about it. At least it could ensure that the pregnant women were well-nourished and the child in their bellies was healthy.

When Han Li's concubines were pregnant, they were treated even better. Han Li would personally take care of their bodies, secretly mobilizing high-grade spiritual fluids from the body-nourishing furnace, using various means to ensure their condition and make sure that the children in their bellies were full of spiritual energy and healthy.

Han Li attached great importance to the child in Lu Tianxiang's belly. He personally took care of her dozens of times, being extremely careful each time, laying a solid foundation for the child in her belly.

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. The Han Mansion's convoy arrived at Dongshan Prefecture, the second-to-last prefecture on the Jizhou route.

After passing this prefecture and another one, they would be able to leave Jizhou and enter the territory of Yuanzhou. At that time, they would not be far from Yongchang Prefecture.

At this moment, the entire migration convoy temporarily stopped because Lu Tianxiang was about to give birth.

Han Li was very nervous, instructing Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, and other female attendants to take care of her, while he set up the Five Elements Life and Death Great Formation and then sat in the center, fully activating his spiritual sense, covering an area of two hundred thousand miles, to prevent any accidents from happening.

After doing all this, Han Li waited outside, waiting for his and Lu Tianxiang's first child to be born.

Soon, a cry sounded, and a smile appeared on Han Li's face. A system prompt also sounded in his mind.

He temporarily ignored the system prompt, maintaining his spiritual sense exploration while walking in.

Looking at Lu Tianxiang lying on the bed, her face slightly pale, Han Li sat beside her, holding her delicate and boneless hand, transmitting the refined and gentle high-grade spiritual fluid into her body to regulate her condition.

With Han Li's help, Lu Tianxiang's complexion quickly became rosy, returning to how it was before pregnancy.

After some thought, Han Li opened a small portion of Lu Tianxiang's sealed cultivation, allowing her to restore her Sea Opening Realm cultivation. Then, he reinforced several seals in her dantian and spirit sea, to prevent any accidents.

Lu Tianxiang immediately felt the power within her body and looked at Han Li in surprise. She thought that Han Li would wait at least ten years before unsealing her cultivation, but he did it right after the child was born.

Although it was only a small portion, less than one ten-thousandth of her full strength, she was no longer a weak and powerless woman.

Han Li didn't say anything, just nodded at her, and Lu Tianxiang hesitated slightly before nodding back.

Everything is said without words.

After finishing these tasks, Han Li looked at the child in Liu Yuexin's arms. It was a boy. He pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Let's name him Han Yongzhen. I hope this child can always be innocent, maintain a childlike heart, and make rapid progress on the path of cultivation. Becoming a True Martial Realm expert in the future will not be a problem."

Han Yongzhen did not disappoint his expectations. His cultivation talent reached the third rank, making him Han Li's first third-rank descendant. Such talent is rare in the entire Xuan Domain.

Therefore, Han Li has high expectations for Han Yongzhen. When he reaches the appropriate age, Han Li will spare no effort in nurturing him. It can be predicted that the Xuan Domain will have another genius in the future, a True Martial Realm Martial King.

Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, and the midwife only heard the first half, but when Lutianxiang heard the last sentence, her eyes lit up.

"Congratulations, sister."

"Congratulations, madam."

Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, and the midwife immediately congratulated with sincere smiles on their faces.

"Mm." Lutianxiang also had a smile on her face. She was satisfied with Han Li's attitude and the chosen name.

"Today, sisters, you have worked hard."

Lutianxiang spoke softly to Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, and the other women.

Han Yongzhen was taken away by Liu Yuexin and the others to be taken care of temporarily, while Han Li took care of Lutianxiang, showing affection and intimacy between them.

He also took a moment to glance at the system prompt and was overjoyed. Lutianxiang did not notice anything unusual and thought that Han Li was happy about the birth of their child.

"You have a descendant with a third-rank talent. Your talent is enhanced by 100%. You gain 70 years of cultivation, you obtain an Earth Grade superior martial technique [Five Elements Palm], and you obtain a Heaven Grade inferior cultivation method [Yin Yang Five Elements Secret Technique]."

"Your cultivation talent has been promoted to the fourth rank!"

The rewards were truly generous!

Han Li was pleasantly surprised. These rewards were much more generous than having seven hundred descendants. Perhaps only a reward for having over a thousand descendants could compare.

Having a descendant with a third-rank talent directly promoted his own talent by one rank, from the fifth rank to the fourth rank, which greatly helped him.

Seventy years of cultivation was also excellent. With the cultivation he had gained this time, he had accumulated nearly 290 years of cultivation.

Perfecting the embryonic form of the All-Encompassing Martial Dao True Intent to 10% with a fifth-rank talent would require around 220 years of cultivation. Now that he had been promoted to the fourth rank, it would only take about 110 years.

With nearly 180 years of cultivation remaining, he could continue to perfect the embryonic form of the All-Encompassing Martial Dao True Intent and make rapid breakthroughs in the Myriad Manifestations Realm, reaching a high level.

In addition to cultivation and talent, the remaining rewards also surprised Han Li.

From the first descendant with a mediocre talent to the first descendant with a fifth-rank talent, each time only one martial technique was rewarded. But this time, the first descendant with a third-rank talent was rewarded with both a cultivation method and a martial technique.

An Earth Grade superior martial technique, the Five Elements Palm!

A Heaven Grade inferior cultivation method, the Yin Yang Five Elements Secret Technique!
