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

Chapter 66: I Need Your Help in Cultivation

The two women stared at Han Li with icy cold eyes, wishing they could tear this despicable thief into pieces. They were regretting their decision to follow Han Li, as their future was now uncertain.

They continued to size up Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi.

Unconsciously, their bottom line had been lowered, constantly retreating, as they no longer held the initiative.

Han Li sighed inwardly. He had no intention of doing anything else. He had already made his decision.

Now he just wanted to feast his eyes, as he wouldn't have the chance to see them for a long time. He wanted to satisfy his cravings in one go.

His purpose in capturing Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi was to resolve the trouble with the Body Nourishing Furnace. If he were to really give the two women to that person, it would only bring about even greater trouble.

Being entangled in one trouble after another, he couldn't properly develop. He wasn't like those geniuses who could grow rapidly through trials and tribulations. What he needed was time for stable development.

He silently recited the Ten Guidelines of Survival in his heart several times, and then chanted the Sixteen-Word True Mantra. Han Li once again approached Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi.

Seeing Han Li approaching, Yun Miaoyi, who was fixed in a shameful posture, couldn't help but panic and said, "Han Li, what do you want to do?"

"Han Li, don't act recklessly. Speak properly," Jiang Baiye said in this position, unable to maintain her cold demeanor, her pretty face blushing.

"What do I want to do?" Han Li raised an eyebrow, suddenly feeling a perverse interest. He smirked and said, "I want your help in cultivation."

Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye's expressions changed, their blush fading, replaced by a face of indifference. Almost simultaneously, they coldly said, "You can forget about it!"

Han Li looked at Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi, who remained silent, and shamelessly sized them up, causing the two women to feel extremely annoyed.

"So that's it. This is the secret behind your rapid progress in cultivation," Yun Miaoyi's eyes flashed with a gleam of insight as she suddenly said.

Han Li pretended to have a slight change in expression and calmly said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

He wanted to dig a pit for Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi, making it convenient for his future actions, preferably leading the two women astray.

"Hehe~ Keep pretending. Before, I was only 50% sure, but now I'm certain. You possess a powerful dual cultivation technique or a cultivation technique that absorbs essence. This technique is at least Heaven Grade."

"No wonder you've been hiding in the small Lingjun City for the past twenty years, frequently taking concubines. Despite the lack of corresponding resources, your cultivation has made rapid progress, comparable to those geniuses with third-grade aptitude."

Seeing Han Li wanting to deny it, Yun Miaoyi sneered and said, "Don't forget, I come from the Hehuan Sect."

Jiang Baiye also thought of this. Only in this way could it explain why Han Li frequently took concubines without affecting his cultivation, yet his cultivation still made rapid progress.

Her gaze towards Han Li changed, filled with some worry.

In this situation, Jiang Baiye had no confidence that Han Li would let them go.

"Speak." Jiang Baiye's face remained expressionless.

"Don't dawdle." Yun Miaoyi urged impatiently. She just wanted to quickly return to the Yin Yang Path.

After deeply looking at the two women, Han Li spoke, "First, the matter of the Body Nurturing Furnace ends here. You cannot continue investigating, and you must do your best to prevent the forces behind you from investigating further."

"Second, our grievances are settled. From now on, we will not interfere with each other. You cannot use any means to continue looking for me, the Han family, or trouble at Tianxuan Mountain."

"Third, you must keep the details of this great battle hidden and not reveal any information about me."

"Fourth, you must swear with your Dao Heart. If you violate any of these conditions, your life will be plagued by demonic influences, and you will never be able to advance to the Empty Void Realm."

After finishing, Han Li silently looked at Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye, waiting for their response.

The two women wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, little did they know that he also wanted to get rid of them quickly. They needed to draw clear boundaries and go their separate ways, without causing trouble for each other.

"I agree." Yun Miaoyi hesitated slightly, then immediately spoke.

Although she took a great risk infiltrating the Great Qian Dynasty and wasted time and energy without obtaining the Body Nurturing Furnace, it was a loss for her. But the situation was different now, and Yun Miaoyi's thoughts had changed.

She didn't have the qualifications to negotiate conditions now. As long as Han Li didn't touch her, she could agree to these trivial matters.

Seeing Jiang Baiye hesitating, Han Li calmly said, "Your agreement alone is not enough. Both of you must agree together."

Yun Miaoyi was anxious, but had no choice. She could only look at Jiang Baiye, hoping she would be more rational and prioritize her own safety and innocence, and stop thinking about the Body Nurturing Furnace.

"I cannot stop the sect from investigating the whereabouts of the Body Nurturing Furnace."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Baiye lowered her head and spoke in a cold voice, sounding somewhat helpless.

Although she was important in the Canghai Sect and was one of the contenders for the future Sect Master position, she was still far behind compared to the Body Nurturing Furnace.

If she had to choose between herself and the Body Nurturing Furnace, the Canghai Sect would undoubtedly choose the Body Nurturing Furnace without hesitation.

"Jiang Baiye, you..." Yun Miaoyi became anxious. If Jiang Baiye didn't agree, both of them would be finished.

Han Li nodded, acknowledging Jiang Baiye's statement, and said, "In that case, let's do this. I will keep the Body Nurturing Furnace for fifty years. If you come to retrieve it after fifty years, I will hand it over willingly. How about that?"

Jiang Baiye suddenly looked up, fixedly staring at Han Li, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "Alright."

No matter what Han Li was plotting against her, as long as she had a chance to retrieve the Body Nurturing Furnace, she could fulfill her duty to the sect and temporarily make the sect give up on the investigation.

Yun Miaoyi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "Jiang Baiye has also agreed. You can let us go now."

"You haven't sworn with your Dao Heart yet." Han Li reminded them.

Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye swore with their Dao Heart, making various promises. Han Li also felt relieved.

"Is it okay now?" The two women were somewhat uneasy, afraid that Han Li would play some tricks.

"Don't worry."

After saying that, Han Li took out a piece of Image Stone from his spatial ring.

"What are you doing?!" Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye stared at Han Li with cold eyes, their tone extremely icy.

"Nothing, just enjoying a little trinket." Han Li said indifferently.

Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye were itching with hatred, knowing that this was Han Li's insurance. They were worried that the two of them would go back on their word, and in reality, they did have such thoughts.

But now that Han Li had them in his grasp, they didn't dare to take the risk of suffering from the backlash of their Dao Heart. They could only pretend they didn't see it.

"You're ruthless." Yun Miaoyi and Jiang Baiye muttered three words through gritted teeth.
