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

Chapter 8: The Ancestral Patriarch Takes Concubines Again

After leaving Tianxuan Mountain, Han Li returned to the Han family in Lingjun City without any trouble.

It took him two months for this round trip. The entire Lingjun City was already decorated with lanterns and filled with red lanterns. It was less than three months away from his 200th birthday, and the whole city was bustling with excitement.

The Great Qian Dynasty was divided into four levels: state, prefecture, county, and village. Lingjun City was the county seat, and the entire Lingjun County was not small, spanning hundreds of miles and governing numerous villages and towns with countless people.

The Ancestral Patriarch of the Han family, who was at the Sea Opening Realm, was the number one figure in the entire Lingjun County. His 200th birthday banquet caused a sensation throughout the county. Many forces and families in Lingjun County were eager to come to Lingjun City. Various forces from Fengyang Prefecture also sent people over, making the population of Lingjun City burst at the seams.

During normal times, the population of Lingjun City was already quite large, with over three million people. But at this moment, the number had soared to over four million. Apart from the guests, the rest were just here to watch the excitement. After all, Lingjun County hadn't produced a Sea Opening Realm cultivator in over a thousand years.

Although Lingjun City had a large population, there were very few people born with cultivation talent each year. There were not even a thousand in a year, and most of them had mediocre talent. A few had ninth-grade talent, and eighth-grade talent was extremely rare. As for seventh-grade and above talent, it might not even appear once in ten years.

In the main hall of the Han family, Han Li was listening to the reports of several children. As he listened, a smile appeared on his face.

The first two tasks he had ordered had been completed, while the third and fourth tasks were still in progress, and the efficiency was very good.

Sure enough, with generous rewards, the descendants of the Han family could multiply faster. He had only been away for two months, and there were already over a dozen women in the Han family who were pregnant. When they gave birth in a while, his descendants would increase significantly.

He had also chosen the five concubines he wanted to take. They were all top-notch beauties, with the worst being of mediocre talent. Surprisingly, there was even one with ninth-grade talent, which gave Han Li a pleasant surprise.

As the only Sea Opening Realm cultivator in Lingjun County, his status was extremely high. With his preference for taking concubines, many families were eager to send their beautiful daughters to the Han family for selection.

Even if they were not chosen as concubines by the Ancestral Patriarch of the Han family, it would be good to marry into the Han family's other descendants. They would enjoy a life of luxury and prosperity, and their family would also benefit from the connection to the Han family.

Han Li rewarded his children with some resources, making them extremely excited.

Soon, the Han Mansion became busy again. Han Li planned to marry the five concubines in the next few days, mainly because he thought that he might have to take more concubines after his birthday, so he didn't want them to be crowded together.

Marrying them earlier meant having children earlier.

Although marrying five at once made the people in the Han Mansion exceptionally busy, they had experience. The Ancestral Patriarch of the Han family had already taken seven concubines, so his descendants were skilled and adept at this.

Every time he took a concubine, Han Li would arrange it with the same grandeur as other cultivators' weddings, showing his importance to the concubines. This time was no exception.

Although Han Li had taken many concubines, he loved each one deeply, and no one criticized him. Although he was indulgent in pursuing women, his reputation outside was still good.

"The Ancestral Patriarch of the Han family has taken concubines again, and this time he took five at once!"

"The Ancestral Patriarch of the Han family is a Sea Opening Realm expert. It's not surprising even if he takes fifty at once."

"Five female cultivators, can the Ancestral Patriarch of the Han family handle it?"

...

The five bridal processions of the Han family returned, bringing back beautiful brides, once again causing a stir in Lingjun City.

At night,

Han Li entered the first bridal chamber, lifted the red veil, and looked at the shy and beautiful bride. With a flick of his finger, the oil lamp went out.

Han Li spent a wonderful night here.

In the following two months, Han Li was diligent and dedicated, taking care of a concubine every day, and finally all five beautiful women became pregnant.

In this wonderful and heavenly life, Han Li's body was almost overwhelmed.

"Tsk tsk, if it weren't for my breakthrough to the Sea Opening Realm, the Dragon's Roar Golden Bell and the Tiger's Roar Iron Cloth would not have increased my physical strength. Even if immortals came, I wouldn't be able to withstand it," Han Li sighed. This was his first time experiencing such a situation, but fortunately, he had honed his skills and would definitely be more than capable next time.

In the next few days, Han Li stayed in the Han Mansion and pondered about life.

He now had 108 descendants, and two more little ones were born. There were still twenty descendants with cultivation potential.

Now that his five concubines were pregnant and the other descendants were also doing well, there were about ten more pregnancies. In a year at most, the Han family would have at least thirty more descendants.

Han Li was not worried about his future development. Next year, his cultivation would reach the peak of the ninth level of the Sea Opening Realm, and the next step would be to break through to the Vital Spirit Realm.

His cultivation aptitude was only eighth-grade, and normally, the chance of breaking through to the Vital Spirit Realm was only one in ten thousand. He didn't know if the cultivation rewards from the system could directly break the shackles of his aptitude and promote him to the Vital Spirit Realm.

If not, he could only wait for his aptitude to improve to seventh-grade before breaking through.

Of course, Han Li also hoped that the system would reward him with some treasures to improve his cultivation aptitude. This way, not only could he improve his aptitude, but his concubines and capable descendants could also follow in his footsteps and go further.

The most beautiful things in the world are fleeting, and beauty fades like a mirror and flowers wither like leaves.

If possible, Han Li also hoped that his concubines could accompany him forever. The first one he took in, Liu Yuexin, was already nearly seventy years old, and the other five concubines were not young either.

With Han Li's help, their appearance remained youthful, and their lifespan extended to one hundred and twenty to one hundred and thirty years.

"In the future, if I stand at the top of the eternal heavens, I will share the years with all of you!" Han Li really wanted to say this famous quote from Shi Ritian to his concubines.

"Ah~" Han Li sighed. There were still sixty years left. If he couldn't obtain treasures to improve his aptitude, he would have to forcefully help these concubines break through to the Innate Realm.

There are generally two types of pills for breaking through realms. One type increases the success rate without affecting future advancements to higher realms, while the other type directly breaks through but has greater side effects. Once taken, there is no chance of advancing to higher realms.

Han Li knew of a pill that could help people break through to the Innate Realm. It was called the Innate Pill, and it could be found in Tianxuan Mountain. It was not cheap, but anyone with hopes of breaking through to the Sea Opening Realm would never choose to take the Innate Pill.

If there was a choice, Han Li still hoped to improve the aptitude of his concubines and break through himself, so that he could accompany them further.

He was not a heartless person. Although having more children would bring more blessings, he would not treat his concubines as baby-making machines. He treated each concubine well, and at most, they would only give birth to three children. That's why the concubines were devoted to him, deeply in love with him.

Of course, while saving, he also had to increase his income. Only by taking in more concubines could he have more children and blessings.

At this moment, one of Han Li's offspring hurriedly ran in, interrupting his thoughts.
