Chapter 13: Chapter 13 I'm at Nantian Gate_1

Translator: 549690339

About half a month later.

Han Li was leisurely lying in the garden basking in the sun, some concubines were giving him shoulder massages and beating his back, others were feeding him food and fruits, and yet others were dancing gracefully, revealing their charming dance moves.

All the concubines were cultivators, the weakest of them were in the Rebirth Realm, and many were in the True Qi Realm, which made their bodies more flexible and capable of performing more challenging moves.

“This really is the life of an immortal!”

Han Li exclaimed as he enjoyed the services of his numerous concubines during the day, and at night he would go to Qiu Yueyao to till the land, hoping to sow the seeds as soon as possible.

Qiu Yueyao was a cultivator with seventh-grade talent, and coupling with her held the hope of conceiving offspring with seventh-grade talent. By then, he would be able to receive rewards from the System again.

“Husband, I think I am with child,”

At that moment, Qiu Yueyao, dressed in a palace outfit and white skirt, walked over leisurely, her expression somewhat excited.

“Really? That's great!”

Han Li had Qiu Yueyao come to his side and pressed his hand against her belly to feel for himself. He indeed discovered there was a new life within, just conceived a few days ago. Qiu Yueyao's strength was not on par with his, so she was uncertain.

“Congratulations, sister,”

Liu Yuexin, Li Mingmeng, and the other concubines immediately offered their sincere congratulations.

As Han Li's concubines, they also guessed some of Han Li's thoughts and were happy to see a new addition to the Han Family.

Han Li nodded slightly, approving of the performance of these concubines.

There had never been any trouble in his backyard; the relationships between the concubines were quite good, and there was no bloody palace strife.

Of course, there were small factions; the concubines he took before reaching the Pihai Realm all followed Liu Yuexin's lead, while those taken after reaching the Pihai Realm were led by Li Mingmeng. The two women got along very harmoniously and did not fight over anything.

Li Mingmeng, and even the newly joined Qiu Yueyao and other women, had no interest in managing the affairs of the Han Mansion, leaving it to Liu Yuexin, who was fair in her management. Li, Qiu, and the other women were happy to have more leisure time for cultivation.

After marrying Qiu Yueyao, Han Li kept a low profile and did not take any new concubines for two years.

During these two years, the number of Han Li's offspring soared greatly, reaching 153. This was largely the result of the diligent efforts of his descendants, striving for Han Li's rewards.

Because of Han Li's reward system, the Han Family's descendents were also considered to be blessed with many children, earning a vast amount of resources and wealth for each additional child born, which were raised by the Han Family. If the legal wife was unwilling to have more children, taking a concubine was the solution.

Of the forty-five new offspring, Han Li contributed to only nine. The concubines he had taken earlier had given birth to children, including two pairs of twins.

Li Mingmeng's third child was born, and Qiu Yueyao's first child was also born last year.

Of these forty-five offspring, twelve had cultivation talents, which was not a small proportion, mainly because the offspring of Han Li's concubines all had talents. To Han Li's slight disappointment, Qiu Yueyao's first child only had eighth-grade talent.

While a bit let down, Han Li did not say anything as the next child might have seventh-grade talent, and it wasn't something Qiu Yueyao could decide.

The surge in the number of descendants brought many rewards to Han Li.

He gained an increase of forty-five years in his cultivation, forty-five years were added to his lifespan, dozens of Yellow Rank Extreme Grade cultivation techniques, martial arts, and even secret techniques, along with dozens of Beauty Preserving Pills…

His own cultivation talent also improved greatly; roughly five more descendants with eighth-grade talent would allow him to advance to seventh-grade talent.

Another reward was for having more than thirty descendants with talents, which currently numbered thirty-three, the reward is the same as when the count had broken through twenty.

Han Li spent twenty-nine years of cultivation to advance to the ninth peak of the Pihai Realm and did not claim the remaining thirty-six years of cultivation.

Once he officially reached the pinnacle of the Pihai Realm, the system provided a new prompt, just like one of his previous guesses, the cultivation years awarded by the system could directly enable him to breakthrough to the Gangyuan Realm.

The cost, however, was considerable—requiring one hundred years of cultivation.

This cultivation was not taken back by the system as a kickback. Instead, it assisted his breakthrough, taking one hundred years of cultivation as a catalyst to propel him into the Gangyuan Realm.

Breaking through from the ninth layer of the Pihai Realm to the Gangyuan Realm is quite difficult, and talent limitation is just one aspect; another aspect is the True Yuan.

Below the Gangyuan Realm, what's utilized is True Qi, both acquired and innate True Qi are considered True Qi, but starting from the Gangyuan Realm, cultivators begin to use True Yuan.

To breakthrough to the Gangyuan Realm, one must liquefy True Qi into True Yuan, a process that is quite time-consuming.

Generally, a hundred strands of Innate True Qi are needed to condense into a single drop of True Yuan, and the process must be done with the help of a corresponding secret technique. Once half of the Innate True Qi in the Qi Sea has condensed into True Yuan, one will have advanced to the Gangyuan Realm. At the moment of advancement, the other half of the True Qi will automatically convert into True Yuan.

Even with a secret technique, cultivators of ordinary talent do not have enough time to reach the breakthrough threshold. But if they have a substantial quantity of Spirit Stones or even pill medicines that help condense True Yuan, they can hasten the progress.

Cultivators with good talent not only possess secret techniques but also gain access to many cultivation resources, making their breakthrough to the Gangyuan Realm relatively easier. Of course, the better their talent, the larger their Qi Sea, and a considerable amount of time is still required.

According to Han Li's talent, after reaching the ninth layer of the Pihai Realm, he would still need to cultivate arduously for a hundred years to reach the breakthrough threshold of the Gangyuan Realm.

Although Han Li had such a long life-span, he would not foolishly choose to cultivate slowly on his own; to breakthrough while lying down, how delightful!

“Accumulate some more years, and it should be enough for the cultivation needed to breakthrough,” Han Li thought to himself.

Coming back to his senses, Han Li continued to engage in idle chat with his concubines, responding to nearly all their needs as long as it was reasonable, of course, these women also had a sense of measure and wouldn't make excessive demands.

No one revealed the news of Han Li's breakthrough to the peak of the Pihai Realm, not even his own women. Thus, the outside world still thought Han Li was a cultivator who had just broken through to the Pihai Realm, at most at the second layer of the Pihai Realm.

That was exactly what Han Li wanted, to mislead the outside world, and he absolutely could not let others know his true cultivation level.

Worrying about causing a sensation was one thing, but more importantly, Han Li was accustomed to being cautious to prevent potential problems before they arose.

The outside world thought he was a cultivator at the second layer of the Pihai Realm, but in fact, he was a peak Pihai Realm cultivator. If any shortsighted Pihai Realm cultivator dared to offend him, they could not expect to leave alive.

Even after advancing to the Gangyuan Realm in the future, Han Li would not immediately announce it but would find an opportunity to reveal mid-stage Pihai Realm cultivation, continuing to misdirect others.

In this way, if power sought after that Pill Formula, learning that he was merely a minor cultivator of the Pihai Realm, they might at most send a Gangyuan Realm Great Master to rob and silence him.

With Han Li's Gangyuan Realm cultivation, even if he could not win, he would have time to maneuver and defend himself.

If possible, Han Li wished to accumulate more cultivation, so he could breakthrough on the battlefield, catching his enemies by surprise.

You think I'm on the first level, but in reality, I'm at Nantian Gate!

As time passed day by day, Han Li continued to stay inside Han Mansion, leading an ethereal life with his concubines.

Since no power came to inquire about the Pill Formula, Han Li felt he might be worrying unnecessarily, but he remained vigilant nonetheless.
