Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage - Chapter 249

Chapter 249: Chapter 171: Special Achievement Accomplished, Li Feiyu’s First Wife_3
 

Although possessing fourth-grade aptitude, it’s uncertain whether one can cultivate to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, as some fall midway, while others suffer setbacks and never recover their morale, and still others face accidents, such as having their cultivation destroyed…

The concubines of the Lord of the Li Manor are mostly of sixth-grade and fifth-grade aptitude, though there are also exceptional women of fourth-grade aptitude like Fairy Li and Mu Wanyan. Their status, however, precludes them from becoming the Lord’s wives.

The favored daughters of these powers differ, with impeccable backgrounds, outstanding aptitudes, unrivalled beauty, and a unique charm, making them potential wives for the Lord of the Li Manor.

Compared to the future of their Sect or family, the loss of one favored daughter seems trivial, but persuading them is another matter.

These powers dare not use force, for fear of turning friends into foes, which, even if they succeeded in sending someone over, would not help but could instead bring disaster.

Meanwhile, some beautiful female cultivators with third-grade aptitude also started considering whether to go to the Li Manor. They were confident that with their aptitude and beauty, they were more than qualified to become the Lord’s wife.

These beautiful cultivators include both Loose Cultivators and disciples of major powers; they concealed their true aptitude on a daily basis, only revealing fourth-grade aptitude to avoid accidents on their path to power.

They have third-grade aptitude and naturally aspire to the True Martial Realm, but on their own or with their current backing, they lack the support needed for such cultivation.

With various cultivation resources limited, only a major stroke of luck would allow them to successfully reach the True Martial Realm. But how easy is it to come by such a fortunate opportunity?

Becoming the wife of the Lord of the Li Manor is a shortcut.

Looking at the current situation, Li Feiyu doesn’t seem to be some devil cultivator, nor does he practice any Collection and Supplement Method. His frequent taking of concubines might indicate that his cultivation has reached its peak with little room for improvement.

Hence, he begins to enjoy life without pursuing the great Dao, aiming to establish a vast family. Otherwise, why would he confine himself to guarding the Qian Dynasty for four hundred years?

The pregnancies of the Lord’s concubines are the best proof.

Logically, at the Lord’s level of cultivation, it is quite difficult to produce offspring, but who knows if the Lord has some secret fertility technique?

Such techniques do indeed exist, even wielded by the Da Qian Royalty; each Emperor Qian sires many children to select the best successor, of course at a certain price.

The outside world speculates that this is the case with the Lord, therefore becoming his wife is viewed as the best option.

A powerful True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, whose future seems bleak and begins focusing on family propagation, can be highly attractive to those third-grade aptitude beauties who seek the True Martial Realm but lack opportunities.

This implies that Li Feiyu might invest substantial cultivation resources in his wife, aiding her advance to the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and work tirelessly to facilitate her entrance into the True Martial Realm.

In the following period, Han Li kept a low profile, other than taking concubines, he stirred no further trouble.

As a result, the outside world breathed a sigh of relief, as they had grown accustomed to the Lord taking concubines. If a day passed where the Lord didn’t take another, they would find it odd.

Time flew like a shuttle, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

During this period, the Han Mansion saw the birth of many progenies; some were born to Han Li’s concubines, but even more were from the wives and concubines of his offspring.

This growth in population inflated the numbers in the Han Mansion, bringing the total number of descendants and the number of aptitude-bearing descendants closer to the targets of one thousand and four hundred, respectively.

As for Han Li himself, he took concubines on two occasions, only one each time. One was named Zhou Yunya, with sixth-grade aptitude, and the other was Xia Sihan, with seventh-grade aptitude.

Zhou Yunya and Xia Sihan were from outside Yonchang Manor; Zhou Yunya came of her own volition, while Xia Sihan was sent over.

Through the efforts of the old ancestor Han Li, both Zhou Yunya and Xia Sihan soon became pregnant, joining the childbearing ranks of the Han Mansion.

However, Li Feiyu married or took concubines six times. Four times, it was with a single beautiful cultivator, and twice, with two.

The four beautiful cultivators came from various powers; only one had fourth-grade aptitude and the most exquisite beauty—her name was Xue Qingyi, and she was at the God Refining Realm.

The other three beautiful cultivators were of fifth-grade aptitude, one even a Princess, the daughter of the former Emperor Chu Wuji.

The special ones among the remaining four beautiful cultivators included a set of twins, and two were…

Although they had only sixth-grade aptitude, their beauty was nonetheless outstanding, with additional flattering qualities, which old ancestor Han Li gladly accepted.

Out of these ten beautiful cultivators, only Xue Qingyi became Han Li’s wife, marking the first time he, as Li Feiyu, took a wife. The other nine beauties became his concubines.

Xue Qingyi hailed from the Kunqian Sect, one of the Ten Major Sects of Da Qian, and was the Sect Leader’s daughter. Known across Tangzhou as Fairy Xue, she had countless suitors.

Upon hearing of Xue Qingyi’s marriage into the Li Manor, numerous young talents beat their chests in anguish, cursing Li Feiyu in secret for taking away their goddess.

Han Li also inquired why Xue Qingyi had actively chosen to marry into the Li Manor, to which she candidly responded that she wished to use Han Li’s aid to reach the Myriad Phenomena Realm sooner, and then have more time to strive for the True Martial Realm.

She also expressed her hope for Han Li’s assistance; with her future advancement to the True Martial Realm, the Li Manor would house two True Martial Realm Emperor Wus, making it effortless for the Li Manor to usurp the throne and take over the Qian Royalty.
