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

Chapter 3: Descendants of the Eighth Grade Aptitude

Inside the bridal chamber,

Han Li reached out and lifted the red veil from the bride's head, revealing Li Mingmeng's stunning face. Her eyes were closed, but her cheeks were flushed, as if she knew what was about to happen.

"Truly deserving of being the most beautiful woman in Lingjun City."

"Her appearance and figure are truly as impressive as rumored."

Looking at the eighteen-year-old beauty in front of him, Han Li secretly thought to himself.

Although he was nearly two hundred years old, his preferences had not changed. Who wouldn't love an eighteen-year-old beauty?

Then, Han Li blew out a breath, and the oil lamp in the bridal chamber went out.

A night of spring passion is worth a thousand gold!

After toiling day and night for half a month, Han Li finally received good news.

Li Mingmeng was pregnant.

A smile appeared on Han Li's face. It didn't matter if it was a boy or a girl; what mattered was having descendants.

He had an eighth-grade aptitude, while Li Mingmeng had a ninth-grade aptitude. The probability of their first child having an eighth-grade aptitude was not low.

Furthermore, with his recent breakthrough to the Sea Opening Realm, the probability of their newborn having cultivation aptitude would increase. The child in Li Mingmeng's belly was the first offspring after his breakthrough.

With multiple buffs stacked, it should at least be an eighth-grade aptitude, right?

Thinking of this, Han Li became even more excited. If this child truly had an eighth-grade aptitude, he would send them back to the sect for cultivation when they turned eight.

Han Li was not indifferent to his own descendants. On the contrary, he tried his best to do well for them and arranged corresponding resources.

Previously, he was at the peak of Innate Ninth Layer, not only ranking in the top three in Lingjun City but also having access to a large amount of resources and wealth.

He entrusted these resources and wealth to his concubines and capable descendants to manage. They could obtain a lot of benefits from them.

As long as they didn't commit any wrongdoing or engage in evil deeds, Han Li wouldn't interfere.

Those without cultivation aptitude could enjoy a life of luxury, with a monthly allocation of resources. Those with abilities could also apply to manage family affairs.

If they wanted to receive more resources and rewards, they should procreate more.

For those with cultivation aptitude, when they turned eight and could start cultivating, Han Li would send them to various sects.

He had eighteen descendants with cultivation aptitude, all of whom were sent to different sects within Fengyang Prefecture to cultivate. Those with lower aptitude went to less prestigious sects, while those with better aptitude went to more prestigious ones.

In the entire Fengyang Prefecture, any sect that could make a name for itself had at least a Sea Opening Realm expert, and the top few even had Vital Spirit Realm experts.

Han Li was not stingy with cultivation resources for these capable descendants. He wholeheartedly hoped that they could cultivate to higher realms.

This would not only expand the influence of the Han family and spread the reputation of the Han family's ancestor, making it easier to take in concubines, but also provide him with some cultivation feedback. Although it was rare now, every little step counts.

"After this child is born, it's time to return to the sect." Han Li secretly thought.

Unknowingly, he had already been out of the sect and in the secular world for nearly fifty years.

Over a hundred years ago, he had experienced countless hardships and joined the Thunderclap Sect on Tianxuan Mountain. He cultivated all the way to the peak of Innate Ninth Layer, but his pursuit of quick success and instant benefits led to a failure, ending in despair and leaving the sect.

For decades, although Han Li had eighteen descendants with cultivation potential, he never thought about sending them to Tianxuan Mountain for cultivation.

Tianxuan Mountain is a major sect in Leizhou, with powerful experts in the Empty Void Realm. It has a considerable reputation throughout the Daqian Empire, and the threshold for accepting disciples is relatively high, starting from the eighth-grade aptitude.

Han Li, who is at the peak of the ninth-grade innate aptitude, is not prominent within Tianxuan Mountain. He is only an outer disciple and cannot even get the sect to accept his descendants with ninth-grade or even lower-grade aptitudes.

But this time, after he broke through to the Sea Opening Realm and returned to Tianxuan Mountain, he automatically became an inner disciple, gaining some influence.

If his descendant this time has an eighth-grade aptitude, as long as he makes a request, those responsible for accepting disciples in the sect will not make things too difficult and will eliminate them.

This is the principle of "one generation plants the trees, and another enjoys the shade."

If the first generation cannot achieve success through hard work and pave the way for the next generation, then they can only have more children and hope for their sons to become successful. This is also true in the secular world.

Several months later, Li Mingmeng's belly grew bigger, and a motherly glow appeared on her face. When she looked at Han Li, her eyes were full of love.

At first, when the Li family's ancestor betrothed her to Han Li as a concubine, she was quite resistant.

She was the number one beauty in Lingjun City, with outstanding talent and a ninth-grade aptitude. She had great hopes of breaking through to the Innate realm in the future and becoming extraordinary. She had many pursuers, including talented individuals with eighth-grade aptitudes.

And what about Han Li?

He barely entered the Sea Opening Realm near the end of his life, with white hair and an aged appearance. How could a young girl of eighteen accept marrying an old man like him?

But after she truly met Han Li, she realized that she had been completely wrong about her impression of him.

Han Li not only had a youthful appearance in his twenties, but he was also refined and extraordinary. He was a first-rate handsome man with outstanding charm. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him the number one handsome man in Lingjun City.

After marrying her, Han Li treated her extremely well, considerate in every way, and provided her with various resources.

The Youthful Appearance Pill allowed her to maintain her beauty for a hundred years. All the elixirs and techniques needed for cultivation were readily available, and he guided her in her cultivation, hoping she would break through to the Innate realm as soon as possible.

With a series of actions, Li Mingmeng's fondness for Han Li grew.

After a change in mindset, considering that Han Li was already in the Sea Opening Realm, the strongest in Lingjun City, and had a lifespan of over a hundred years, Li Mingmeng wholeheartedly accepted Han Li.

Four months later, Han Li and Li Mingmeng's first child was finally born.

Li Mingmeng knew that Han Li cared a lot about the cultivation aptitude of their descendants, so she took the initiative to test it.

"Husband, our son has an eighth-grade cultivation aptitude."

After the test, Li Mingmeng excitedly said that their child had a higher aptitude than her, which was obviously related to Han Li's cultivation and aptitude.

With an eighth-grade aptitude, there was a good chance of breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm with proper cultivation.

"Mingmeng, you just gave birth and need plenty of rest." Han Li glanced at the baby and said to Li Mingmeng.

Feeling Han Li's care and protection, Li Mingmeng breathed a sigh of relief and her love for Han Li deepened. Her husband was not like the rumors outside, taking concubines just to have more descendants.

Han Li held Li Mingmeng's hand, chatting with her while also looking at the system's prompts.

"You have a descendant with an eighth-grade aptitude. Your aptitude is enhanced by one-tenth, you gain ten years of cultivation, and you obtain the Profound Grade lower-ranked martial technique, Dragon Yin Golden Bell Shield."

The birth of this child increased Han Li's aptitude by one-tenth. In other words, if he wanted to raise it to a seventh-grade aptitude, he would need to have nine descendants with eighth-grade aptitudes. The number required for ninth-grade and lower-grade aptitude descendants was even higher.

But Han Li was not in a hurry. He had sufficient lifespan now, so he could take it slowly. He would eventually raise his aptitude to the seventh-grade.

Newcomer, new book, seeking support in the form of collections and recommendations.
