Besides, Li Manor also had all Heaven Rank cultivation techniques, martial arts, as well as a complete set of the Four Arts of Cultivation, ranging from Tenth Grade to Third Grade.

Han Li had already refined all the Rebirth Pills and distributed them according to his earlier plan, creating dozens of Fifth-Grade talents for the Han Mansion.

Each person who received a Rebirth Pill, whether they were Han Li’s descendants or his concubines, were all subjected to a Divine Spirit restriction by Han Li to prevent any leaks.

Even if all of Han Li’s strength were to be exposed, those who coveted the Rebirth Pill Formula would still fall short; one would need to be at least in the Divine Yuan Realm to contend.

Upon reaching the Divine Yuan Realm, Han Li didn’t plan to reveal himself immediately, for owning strength and revealing strength were two different matters. The world only thought he was someone from the God Refining Realm or Hollow Void Stage who acquired the Rebirth Pill Formula, which would bring endless troubles to his door.

The beautiful concubines and descendants who received the Rebirth Pills were overjoyed, never having imagined their husband, father, or grandfather possessed such a heaven-defying treasure, and they instantly became filled with anticipation for the future.

After being promoted to Fifth-Grade aptitude and with the support of Han Mansion’s resources, their future ascension to the Hollow Void Stage wouldn’t be difficult, and they might even glimpse the Myriad Phenomena Realm, attaining a lifespan of a thousand years.

Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, Qiu Yueyao, and other beautiful concubines thought of cultivating to higher levels, to accompany their husband, Han Li, for longer.

Han Yongfan, Han Yongli, Han Yongjin, and other descendants, originally lacking in aptitude but possessing either ability or insight, now had their aptitudes enhanced. Looking forward to the future, their confidence soared, believing they would make significant achievements and would then return the family’s nurturing in full.

In the inner quarters, Han Li’s concubines were gathered together, casually chatting and dreaming about the future.

Before being sent to The Li Manor as concubines, they had an inkling that the Manor Lord seemed to have practiced the Collection and Supplement Method, taking in many concubines to find suitable cauldrons.

Ling Xuejing, Li Qingqing, and other beautiful concubines felt quite hopeless, yet they were powerless to resist and were forced into The Li Manor due to various factors.

But after marrying into The Li Manor, they discovered that it was not the dark and hopeless place they had imagined. The Manor Lord, Li Feiyu, had never practiced collection and supplement on them and treated them well; it seemed he harbored no ill intentions and was simply indulging in his love for beauty.

This greatly relieved the hearts of Ling Xuejing, Li Qingqing, and the other beautiful concubines. Being the concubine of a strong individual from the True Martial Realm was quite pleasant and a fortune many yearned for but could not obtain.

After observing for several months and confirming that the Manor Lord truly had no intention of practicing collection and supplement, they fully accepted Li Feiyu in their hearts as their husband and pillar of strength.

Having a husband in the True Martial Realm, they could access cultivation resources in The Li Manor they previously couldn’t, such as Heaven Rank cultivation techniques, martial arts, and plenty of Top Quality Spirit Stones, enabling them to cultivate to higher realms.

With their status as concubines of The Li Manor, their influence in Capital City Da Qian greatly increased, their standing within their own families rose quickly, and they possessed significant sway, much to the delightful surprise of Ling Xuejing, Li Qingqing, and the other beautiful concubines.

They felt that the only downside of their husband, Li Feiyu, was his keen desire to spread his lineage, having taken twenty-four concubines, all of whom were now with child.

Could it be that their husband was once a Loose Cultivator who has now set his heart on establishing a grand family, which is why he’s been taking in concubines so frequently?

The numerous concubines felt this was the truth, as it seemed the only explanation for their husband’s behavior. Although being pregnant affected their cultivation, they all felt it was manageable, and having children would surely make their husband treat them even better.

Han Li observed all this and muttered to himself, “The children they give birth to should mostly be of Fifth-Grade, which would save a considerable amount of Rebirth Pills.”

He himself was of Fourth-Grade aptitude, and these concubines were of Fifth or Sixth Grade. Theoretically speaking, their children’s aptitudes could be Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth Grade, with the likelihood of Fourth and Sixth Grades being smaller, and Fifth Grade being more probable. The chances for an aptitude above Third Grade or below Sixth Grade were even lower.

“When will I be able to take in a beautiful cultivator with Fourth-Grade aptitude?” Han Li murmured to himself.

In Capital City Da Qian, there were indeed many high-quality female cultivators with Fourth-Grade aptitude, concentrated in the royal family and the homes of dukes and nobles, with a good number throughout the six provinces as well, just that none had come to become Han Li’s concubines as of now.

They were all watching and waiting, aware of the rumors, and worried about becoming cauldrons if they married into the Han Mansion, they harbored many concerns.

However, the reputation of The Li Manor’s Lord had been improving lately. Although he took in many concubines, the first batch of five concubines, who had been in The Li Manor for three months, were still living well, flourishing and even improving significantly in their cultivation.

The beautiful female cultivators who married into The Li Manor later and became concubines to the Manor’s Lord were also doing fine and had all conceived as well.

Han Li didn’t prevent his concubines from contacting the outside world, as he wanted to spread some information through the concubines and the servants of The Li Manor, to reverse the negative influences.

Han Li had not yet planned to actively capture high-quality female cultivators to become his concubines nor had he made moves toward the renowned beauties in Capital City. That would come later.

He had taken many concubines now, engaging in battles daily, not eager to do those things, and Han Li preferred those who were willing to take the bait. It was like a trade.

For various reasons, they wanted to obtain certain things but couldn’t satisfy them through themselves, their families, or their Sects. However, the master of Li Mansion could fulfil their wishes, so they would consider trading with Li Feiyu. The price was to marry into Li Mansion and become one of Li Feiyu’s concubines.

According to Han Li’s estimate, in some time, it was likely that women cultivators with fourth-grade aptitude would present themselves, whether of their own accord or under the influence of their backing forces; Han Li didn’t care and would accept them all without exception.

After casting a final, deep glance at the Imperial Palace, Han Li’s figure disappeared from Li Mansion and then shortly appeared in Han Mansion.

With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, he immediately knew Jiang Baiye’s location and appeared by her side at once.

“Jiang Jiang.”

Han Li wrapped his arms around her from behind, his large hand resting on Jiang Baiye’s swollen belly, caressing.

He could clearly sense the small life inside, a boy, which made the old ancestor Han exceedingly pleased.

He preferred boys somewhat more because boys could take many wives and concubines to produce numerous descendants for Han Mansion; girls couldn’t do that. He did not wish for his daughters, granddaughters, and so on to have too many children—similar to how he purposefully controlled the number of children his beautiful concubines had.

“My husband~”

Jiang Baiye called out softly, her cool voice tinged with tender warmth, visibly delighted at the sight of Han Li.

Han Li had previously said he would come to keep her company, staying with her until the birth of the child, so Jiang Baiye had gone to the summit of Chengdao Peak to wait, hoping Han Li would return from Li Mansion soon.

Indeed, Han Li didn’t stay long at Li Mansion before returning to her side. Now that it was just the two of them again, Jiang Baiye was overjoyed.

The cool breeze lifted the hem of the Sword Immortal’s moon-white dress, revealing her slender and beautiful feet in white ankle socks. The wind itself seemed to marvel at her beauty; in this moment, the Sword Immortal was exceptionally enticing.

“Jiang Jiang…”

Han Li whispered sweet nothings into Jiang Baiye’s ear, causing her to shiver delightedly, her smile growing even brighter.

The Sword Immortal’s body was soft as she leaned quietly in Han Li’s embrace. Being pregnant had changed her aura significantly, with the added shyness of a young girl and the gentle charm of a young wife, she was stunningly gorgeous, constantly radiating an irresistible allure.

Jiang Baiye looked at Han Li, and he gazed back at her, their eyes gradually becoming hazy. Han Li couldn’t help but lean down and capture her delicate, blushing lips.

After, Han Li patiently accompanied Jiang Baiye, giving her his full care, making her feel deeply moved. She knew that Han Li had taken many concubines, but he still treated her as before and was willing to spend a lot of time with her.

The next day, Sword Immortal Jiang Baiye’s child was born, just as Han Li had seen—a boy.

“Jiang Jiang, I would like to name the child Han Yongjiang, what do you think?”

Han Li looked at the infant in his arms and then towards Jiang Baiye, who was a little pale and weak, as he softly spoke.

He hadn’t named Lu Tianxiang’s children Han Yonglu or Han Yongxiang, as those were girls’ names. The Sect Hierarch had borne him a boy; he could consider such names if they had a daughter in the future.

Jiang Baiye quickly nodded, her eyes filled with surprise; this was the first time she saw her husband give such a meaningful name to a descendant.

She was the first person to receive this kind of treatment.

Thinking of this, Jiang Baiye looked at Han Li next to her and, uncharacteristically, took the initiative to say, “My husband, kiss me~”

Han Li naturally wouldn’t refuse Jiang Baiye’s request. He handed Han Yongjiang to someone else to hold and, with one arm around Jiang Baiye, lowered his head to press his lips to her soft ones.

His other hand supported Jiang Baiye’s back, transferring a copious amount of refined True Yuan to help her recover her vitality, causing her complexion to quickly regain its rosy hue.
