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

Chapter 131: Family Planning, Sword Immortal Arrives!

After taking in seven beautiful concubines, Han Li didn't idle around and began a diligent cultivation journey, opening up new paths every day, often encountering difficulties and setbacks.

It must be said that Han Li, possessing the strength of the True Martial Realm, was extremely powerful. In battle, he effortlessly used various martial techniques, causing his opponents to retreat one after another.

Even when facing a siege, Han Li showed no fear. He carefully assessed each opponent and sighed, "The advantage is mine."

Indeed, how could several Innate Realm cultivators compete against Han Li?

Han Li stood at the pinnacle of the Great Qian Dynasty, with True Martial Realm strength that was not just for show. Every strike he made was powerful and forceful. Even after fighting continuously for several hours, Han Li wouldn't even furrow his brow.

Subsequently, those ignorant cultivators who had besieged Han Li knelt before him, begging for mercy and calling him "father."

Although Han Li was a formidable individual, he wouldn't be unreasonable. He temporarily spared these cultivators.

Finally, Han Li sighed, "My Shadowless Whip Technique is truly invincible!"

After several busy days, Han Li confirmed that all the newly taken concubines were pregnant before finally stopping his activities.

It had been several months since he had successfully advanced to the Myriad Manifestations Realm's seventh layer.

During this period, dozens of newborns had been added to the Han Family, further increasing its population.

Naturally, Han Li was overjoyed. He had gained a significant amount of cultivation and lifespan, and his aptitude had also improved somewhat.

He roughly calculated that in a few more months, his descendants from the second batch of wives he had married in Jizhou would also give birth to their first offspring.

This should be enough to bring the number of his descendants to eight hundred, although the number of descendants with high aptitude was still lacking.

In another ten months or so, the wives he had married in Jizhou would give birth to dozens of children, in addition to the offspring from other wives. The total number of descendants should reach nine hundred, with the number of high-aptitude descendants also reaching three hundred.

Then, in another year to a year and a half, his number of descendants would reach one thousand, and he would be able to claim a great reward.

Calculating it, it would take about two and a half to three years.

Han Li felt that this was already very fast. In the past, it took several years to have one child, then ten children in a few years, and a hundred children in a few more years.

Now, it only took one year to have a hundred descendants appear in this world.

According to the original speed, it would take at least two years to add a hundred descendants, and probably seven to eight years to add three hundred.

Han Li also understood why the growth was so rapid. It was mainly because of this move. His descendants had married many wives in Qingzhou, Jizhou, and Yuanzhou.

For example, this time in Yongchang Prefecture, he had married fifty-six wives, with a total of more than one hundred and eighty in the three prefectures. The batch from Yuanzhou had the best aptitude.

Before moving, Han Li had allowed those descendants who had joined the sect to return and migrate to Yuanzhou. Originally, they had some grievances, wondering why they had to move when everything was going well.

Now, these descendants were already extremely excited. They fought with their beautiful wives every day, almost neglecting their cultivation.

They originally didn't have wives, and as cultivators, they didn't look down on ordinary people. They wanted to marry those with aptitude and good looks.

But those who have both qualifications and good looks don't look down on them, after all, their qualifications are not high and they don't have much background connections.

But now?

Each of these descendants has a wife and two concubines, and some even have three or four concubines, each of whom is a qualified and beautiful female cultivator.

It is these newly married female cultivators who have made a great contribution to the growth of Han Li's descendants. In the next ten years, they will increase the population of the Han family by four to five hundred, or even more.

In addition to the qualified descendants branching out, those without qualifications are also busy procreating on the migration route. Although they don't have new wives and concubines, they already have quite a few wives and concubines.

"In ten years, the population growth rate of the Han family is likely to increase several times," Han Li sighed.

Ten years later, the descendants born in the previous ten years of the Han family have grown up one after another. Those with good qualifications can marry and take concubines later, while those with poor qualifications or no qualifications have to marry and take concubines early.

Because those with good qualifications will receive special training and have sufficient cultivation resources to help them cultivate. Other descendants naturally cannot compare to those with good qualifications. If they want to obtain more cultivation resources, they have to contribute to the Han family, with the greatest contribution being the reproduction of offspring.

Standing at the peak of the Chengdao Peak, Han Li overlooks the entire Chengsheng Mountain and sees the thriving scene of the Han family.

After formally marrying Lutianxiang, before taking in seven beautiful concubines, Han Li did not idle during the month in between.

He first busied himself with the gathering spirit formation of the Han family. The Han family originally stored a large amount of formation materials, and he also purchased a lot from outside. Finally, he set up the gathering spirit formation of the Han family.

A total of nine seventh-grade gathering spirit formations were arranged on the entire Chengsheng Mountain, with one large gathering spirit formation covering the entire Chengsheng Mountain and eight small gathering spirit formations distributed in various places.

The Chengdao Peak accounted for three, the Yundao Peak and the other two activated secondary peaks each had one, and one gathering spirit formation was arranged on the mountainside and foot of the mountain.

These gathering spirit formations greatly increased the concentration of spiritual energy in the Han family. If quantified, it would be approximately as follows:

Originally, the concentration of spiritual energy in Chengsheng Mountain was 20 points, very thin. After using the seventh-grade gathering spirit formation, the concentration of spiritual energy increased by two times, and the concentration of spiritual energy in Chengsheng Mountain became 60 points, similar to other places in Yongchang Prefecture.

The place where a small gathering spirit formation was arranged, such as the Yundao Peak, would absorb the spiritual energy from other places in Chengsheng Mountain, increasing the concentration of spiritual energy in the area of the gathering spirit formation to 180 points.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the Chengdao Peak was even higher, reaching 420 points, which only the mansions occupied by the top ten sects had such a level of concentration of spiritual energy.

Of course, those major sects would have even higher concentration of spiritual energy after using higher-grade gathering spirit formations.

Just by arranging eleven gathering spirit formations, Han Li spent half of the Han family's accumulated spiritual stones. This was still the result of him being a seventh-grade formation cultivator and personally setting up the formations.

Otherwise, if someone else was hired to set up the formations, the cost would be several times higher, and the material cost alone would be astronomical.

In the cultivation world, a ninth-grade gathering spirit formation can only increase the concentration of spiritual energy by 50% and is sold for 500 low-grade spiritual stones. An eighth-grade gathering spirit formation can increase the concentration of spiritual energy by 100% and is sold for ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones. A seventh-grade gathering spirit formation can double the concentration of spiritual energy and is sold for two thousand medium-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to two hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones.

The price of gathering spirit formations is very expensive, but they are very practical and essential for every power.

The gathering spirit formations available on the market have a limited range, at most covering an area of five li, which is considered a standard range for gathering spirit formations.

If you want to buy a large gathering spirit formation, you have to pay more, a lot more. The larger the range, the more materials are consumed in setting up the gathering spirit formation, and the price can increase many times over.

For example, even the Tianxuan Mountain only has an eighth-grade gathering spirit formation arranged, covering the entire Tianxuan Mountain. If it were a seventh-grade gathering spirit formation, it would empty the treasury of the Tianxuan Mountain, mainly because the Tianxuan Mountain is much larger than the Chengsheng Mountain.

Some important places in the Tianxuan Mountain will have additional gathering spirit formations arranged, and the higher the grade of the gathering spirit formation, the more important the place, but the highest grade is only sixth-grade, and anything higher is unaffordable.

A standard sixth-grade gathering spirit formation requires five million low-grade spiritual stones, and a standard fifth-grade gathering spirit formation requires one hundred million low-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to ten thousand high-grade spiritual stones.

The Five-Rank Gathering Spirit Array is only available to the Myriad Manifestations Realm powerhouses who have the foundation and willingness to purchase it. As for higher-grade Gathering Spirit Arrays, they are not for sale.

The density of spiritual energy mentioned above is only a theoretical value. In reality, the spiritual energy in places like Chengsheng Mountain, Chengdao Peak, and Yundao Peak is much lower.

After investigating, Han Li discovered that it had disappeared into thin air, and he didn't know where it had gathered.

This made Han Li even more certain that there was a problem with Chengsheng Mountain. There was a hidden powerhouse that absorbed spiritual energy, but at least Han Li couldn't detect it at the moment.

He suspected that Chengsheng Mountain had really hidden a Soul Nurturing Furnace or a Life Nurturing Furnace. The probability was high that it was a Life Nurturing Furnace, as the Soul Nurturing Furnace was just an imitation and not as powerful.

The reason for the thin spiritual energy in Yongchang Prefecture has existed since ancient times, for over 110,000 years. Only an ancient treasure like the Life Nurturing Furnace has the ability to absorb spiritual energy for so many thousands of years.

As for why it needs to absorb spiritual energy, Han Li speculated that the Life Nurturing Furnace had been broken during the ancient catastrophe and was now autonomously repairing itself. This required a continuous supply of spiritual energy.

Or perhaps the Life Nurturing Furnace was refining an unparalleled elixir or a powerful divine weapon, which required the absorption of spiritual energy for over 110,000 years, even though it hadn't reached its limit yet.

In this month, in addition to setting up the Gathering Spirit Array, Han Li also refined many elixirs, weapons, and talismans for the Han Family.

Because the Han Family had recruited many ninth-grade and eighth-grade artifact refiners, alchemists, and talisman masters, Han Li only needed to refine seventh-grade spiritual tools, seventh-grade and sixth-grade elixirs, and talismans above the seventh grade.

In terms of the four arts of cultivation, Han Li was a fifth-grade alchemist, sixth-grade talisman master, seventh-grade artifact refiner, and formation cultivator.

Items below the sixth grade would be sold in large quantities to earn spirit stones. The sixth-grade and fifth-grade items would be stored first, as they had many uses, such as rewards, exchanges, and future sales.

In addition to recruiting cultivators who studied the four arts of cultivation, the Han Family also recruited many Innate and Sea Opening Realm cultivators as family guards. There were even two Vital Spirit Realm cultivators who were willing to be guest elders, as long as Han Li guided them twice a year.

Han Li sighed that they were fortunate and had made the right decision in their lives. Han Li was a super powerhouse with True Martial Realm strength. Guiding them twice a year was a great opportunity for them.

So Han Li signed a long-term contract with the two of them. They couldn't think of running away once their cultivation improved. No way!

They had to work honestly for me.

During this period, Han Li also began to formally cultivate the younger generation of the family. Before moving, there were already many eight-year-old children, and it took nearly two years to move. Dozens more eight-year-old children were added.

Among them were many with high aptitude, such as Han Yongzhen with third-grade aptitude, Han Yonglin with fifth-grade aptitude, Han Yongyun with sixth-grade aptitude, and so on.

There were also some who had reached the Innate Realm in their cultivation, such as Han Yongfan, Han Yongchun, Han Yongli, and others. Han Li taught them for a while during the migration, and their cultivation progressed rapidly. They were about to break through to the Sea Opening Realm.

Regarding the cultivation of the family's descendants, Han Li had long prepared a relatively systematic and perfect system. He prepared various tests and benefits. As long as they met his requirements and passed his tests, they could obtain a large number of benefits.

There were many benefits, such as higher-level techniques, martial skills, opportunities for Han Li's personal guidance, cultivation resources like spirit stones, elixirs, and spiritual tools, and even the chance to obtain sword talismans and talismans made by Han Li himself.

Han Li also knew that aptitude couldn't determine everything, and aptitude didn't equal comprehension. The ability of cultivators to reach advanced realms was influenced by various factors.

It could only be said that aptitude greatly helped cultivators and gave them a high starting point. If cultivators with good aptitude could receive good cultivation, and not fall along the way, they had a high probability of reaching high realms.

Cultivators with poor aptitude had a much smaller chance of reaching advanced realms. After all, cultivators with poor aptitude had slower cultivation speeds. If they had enough cultivation resources or great opportunities, they could also reach the Myriad Manifestations Realm or even the True Martial Realm.

Generally speaking, cultivators with high aptitude also had high comprehension. However, there were also many cultivators with poor aptitude but high comprehension, or even heaven-defying comprehension.

Even if these cultivators had poor aptitude, their chances of reaching advanced realms were still very high.

So he specially refined a stone of enlightenment.

This stone of enlightenment contains all the embryonic insights of Han Li's current all-encompassing martial dao, and Han Li placed it on the Peak of Enlightenment for any descendant of the Han family to observe.

As long as they can comprehend something, even if their aptitude is not good, they can still receive special cultivation from Han Li. If their aptitude is already good, then the intensity of their cultivation will be increased.

This is an opportunity that Han Li has given to all the future generations of the Han family. Just like the gate stone tablet, it treats everyone equally, and anyone can seek enlightenment.

In Han Li's mind, the future generations can be roughly divided into three types. The first type is those with good aptitude and comprehension, who can cultivate to a high level in the future. The second type is those with strong abilities, who can help Han Li manage various affairs of the family.

The third type is those with poor aptitude and comprehension, or those without aptitude. These descendants can contribute to the expansion and propagation of the Han family.

The first type will receive special cultivation, and Han Li will also cultivate the second type intensively. Those with poor aptitude will be given abundant cultivation resources, and those without aptitude will be helped to prolong their lifespan or cultivate their talented descendants.

The third type will only receive basic cultivation resources and worldly wealth. If they want more, they have to contribute to the Han family.

In addition to the above matters, Han Li has also opened up fields for growing spiritual herbs in various places in the Chengsheng Mountain. The higher the grade of the spiritual herb, the more abundant the spiritual energy in the area where it is grown.

When the spiritual herbs are mature, they can be used for alchemy, rewarded to the descendants, exchanged by the people of the Han family, or sold to increase the Han family's spiritual stone income. In any case, there are many benefits.

Han Li has set up formations in each spiritual field, allowing dedicated personnel to manage and take care of them, and prohibiting the leakage of information about the fields. Each year, a certain amount of contribution points can be obtained.

"Hoo~"

At the peak of the Enlightenment Peak, Han Li took a long breath, feeling that the pressure on his body had greatly reduced.

He had been extremely busy recently, but he finally made the Han family formal. After that, things would be much easier.

He only needed to take care of his beloved wife and concubines, cultivate the descendants, refine some spiritual pills, spiritual treasures, and spiritual talismans, and so on.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Han Li's spirit shook. His divine sense saw a figure five thousand miles away, the figure he had been waiting for a long time.

Jianxianzi Jiang Baiye finally arrived, albeit a bit late.

If it weren't for the last time he used the spiritual seed to peek into her thoughts, Han Li would have thought that Jiang Baiye wouldn't come.

"To come at such a late hour, how interesting," Han Li grinned.

It was already night, and Jiang Baiye seemed to intentionally choose this time to avoid most people's attention.

After all, she was the number one sword immortal in the Three Provinces, and many people were paying attention to her movements. Jiang Baiye didn't want others to know that she had become Han Li's wife.

It wouldn't be good for anyone if this news got out.

PS: There won't be a fifth chapter. Today's four chapters only have 18,000 words, not 20,000. I'm sorry, I'm exhausted, sob sob.

Continuing to ask for votes, let's strive for 20,000 more tomorrow!
