Generally speaking, one must offer rare and precious treasures, profound cultivation techniques, pledge allegiance under a true master, or provide something that the master cherishes.

Once the various powers inquired around, they quickly understood how to curry favor with the Han Family’s old ancestor; it was all too easy.

The Han Family’s old ancestor was also known as the Ancestor of Accepting Concubines, having taken dozens of concubines. As long as one could offer a beautiful female cultivator with potential from their family or sect, the deal would be sealed.

They also found out that the Han Family’s old ancestor took great care of his marital relations’ families, providing them with many resources and attention, especially when moving away from Leizhou.

How to offer a suitable woman became the focus of discussion among the various powers.

After all, the Han Family would not stay in Qingzhou but would move to the distant Yuanzhou, so the various powers were reluctant to send those beautiful female cultivators with good potential away to be concubines.

But would Han Li accept those lower-tier, Ninth Grade beauties as offerings?

After weighing their options, each power made its own decision.

Thus, as the migration caravan passed through the first two manors, various small forces and families competed to present their daughters, and Han Li accepted them all without question.

Being just the first two manors, the various powers had offered up eighteen beautiful female cultivators, causing other powers who heard the news to remark with amazement: the Han Family’s old ancestor was still sharp, taking concubines all along the way.

In reality, among the eighteen beauties, Han Li only chose one with Eighth Grade potential, and he arranged for the rest to marry his descendants.

This move brought back many of his descendants who had been sent to the Sect; many of them were still unwed, and uniting them with these lower-tier, Ninth Grade beauties was beneficial for both parties.

Although taking more wives and concubines and producing offspring could rapidly enhance one’s cultivation, Han Li did not wish to accept too many, mainly because his standards and tastes had become much higher.

Particularly after sampling the delights of Lu Tianxiang, Han Li had even less interest in those beauties of inferior potential; they were not even qualified to be his concubines.

He already had many concubines. If he continued to marry uncontrollably, he would surely be unable to care for them all. At present, he aimed to marry only beautiful female cultivators of high potential, like Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi for instance.

Of course, Han Li was only dismissing those of lower-tier and Ninth Grade potential. He still intended to take those of Eighth or Seventh Grade potential.

The number of female cultivators with both high potential and beauty was not large, and ones like Jiang Baiye, Yun Miaoyi, and Lu Tianxiang were even rarer.

As his cultivation steadily improved, his standards for accepting concubines would rise too—an expectation set by himself, not by the System.

Previously he had no choice, but now he had the opportunity to choose.

Another reason was to leave some resources of beautiful women for his family’s descendants.

While Han Li nabbed rewards for proliferating his lineage, his descendants spreading their branches brought him rewards as well—besides some minor differences in potential, it was largely the same.

His talented descendants would also need to marry and take concubines as they came of age. If Han Li were to take them all for himself, his descendants would struggle to find beautiful wives of their own.

Therefore, Han Li set a benchmark for the future: concubines must now have at least Eighth Grade potential and beauty scores above eighty points, with the expectation to further increase these standards.

As a result, he saved himself effort, had more time to care for his current wives and concubines, and his descendants could find satisfactory spouses while his reward accumulation might even speed up significantly.

After all, the speed at which one person can expand a family is far slower than that of many descendants combined.

Raising the standards meant that his cultivation would advance much faster.

In just two months, seventeen of the beauties married to his descendants had become pregnant, which made Han Li even more approving of his decision.

Apart from these newly-wed women, Han Mansion was home to many pregnant ladies, mostly wives and concubines of male descendants and female descendants; a smaller part was Han Li’s own beautiful concubines.

Travelling from Fengyang Manor to Qingshu Manor had already taken half a year, during which Han Li continued to produce offspring, as did his descendants.

During the day, they migrated, and at night, they rested, without many entertainment activities to distract them—after all, this was not like staying within a city, where various forms of amusement were plentiful.

Han Li had originally thought that he would accumulate enough cultivation to advance to the Myriad Phenomena Realm by the time they reached Yuanzhou, but now it seemed he might achieve that within Jizhou territory.

As this batch of descendants was born one after another, the number of his offspring, as well as the number of those with exceptional talents, would reach new heights, and he would be able to earn new rewards.

One of Han Li’s newly acquired beautiful concubines was named Zheng Qiurong, with a score of around eighty-five for her looks. She had a great figure and temperament, and a beauty mark on her nose added a touch of charm.

What impressed Han Li the most was her depths which were as profound as a thousand feet of the Peach Blossom Pool, which indeed took him a long time to appreciate.

Zheng Qiurong came from a Gangyuan Realm family, the eldest daughter of the current family head, with cultivation at the Innate Realm. Initially, the head did not want to send his daughter away, but Zheng Qiurong volunteered, and the other elders agreed, leaving the head with no choice but to comply.

After learning of this, Han Li asked her the reason, to which Zheng Qiurong replied that being his concubine held better prospects. Han Li saw that she had some ulterior motives regarding the Zheng family, but he did not inquire further.

Zheng Qiurong too was now pregnant, and breeding offspring was a top priority that could not be delayed. Han Li promised to hold a wedding ceremony for her once they arrived in Yuanzhou.

Although he had taken new beautiful concubines, Han Li’s main focus was still on Lu Tianxiang, and he spent less time with Zheng Qiurong and the other concubines.

Lu Tianxiang was his wife; although not yet married, she had already given herself to him and was carrying his child.

Lu Tianxiang’s cultivation was profound, and she would become a powerful assistant for him in the future. However, Lu Tianxiang’s heart had not yet turned towards him, so Han Li needed to work harder.

Han Li believed that given time, he would eventually win Lu Tianxiang’s heart, as they now had many more ties to each other.

Han Li had been her first in many respects, and during this period, he had succeeded several more times. Plus, now that she was confirmed to be pregnant, each time he could feel Lu Tianxiang changing.

However, Lu Tianxiang still had reservations and couldn’t get over a certain barrier, appearing quite indifferent. She was most resolute verbally, but her body was honest; mainly because she was unable to resist Han Li.

Regarding Han Li’s new concubines, Lu Tianxiang scoffed but didn’t say much. She had long understood that Han Li was a man who loved beauties and had a penchant for taking concubines.

Sometimes she wondered if Han Li possessed some kind of heaven-defying Dual Cultivation Technique; otherwise, how could someone so infatuated with beauty reach the Peak of the Hollow Void Stage?

But she also knew that Han Li did not, after all, he had never used it when fighting her.

Han Li also did not use her as a Body-Cultivating Furnace for refinement. Could it be he simply lusted for her beauty and sincerely intended to marry her?

Lu Tianxiang could feel Han Li’s frequent companionship. Although she never mentioned it, she felt something different in her heart – Han Li treated her differently than his other concubines. Could it be the difference between a wife and a concubine?

Five months later, the migrating caravan of the Han Mansion reached the last manor on the Jizhou route, having traveled six hundred thousand miles across the entire Qingzhou.

News of the Han Mansion’s migration had long since spread throughout Qingzhou, but no forces came to hinder it — there was no need.

What was there to gain from offending a God Refining Realm true person?

Even various forces sent many beautiful female cultivators, knowing well that the Han Family’s ancestor would not take them as concubines, but having one of his descendants marry into their own was not a bad thing either; after all, their aim was merely to establish a goodwill connection.

Under the diligent efforts of Han Li’s descendants, these beautiful female cultivators also became pregnant, bringing Han Li much satisfaction — they were all rewards.

In Qingzhou, Canghai Sect.

Jiang Baiye finally made up her mind.

She had been thinking of retrieving the Body-Cultivating Furnace from Han Li for some time but was delayed by other matters. Knowing that the Han Family would pass through Qingzhou during their migration, she wasn’t in a rush.

But as time passed, her initially firm resolve began to waver. The Han Family’s caravan had arrived in Qingzhou and passed through Gulei Manor, yet she still had not gone to see them.

She worried that Han Li would make excessive demands, demands she could not fulfill.

Lately, she had been closely following the news about Han Li, aware that various minor powers were sending daughters to the Han Family in hopes they would become Han Li’s concubine.

Han Li had played with her ruthlessly last time, and Jiang Baiye still vividly remembered her fear. She was reluctant to present herself to him, wary of his lecherous ways.

Yet if she did not seek out Han Li, there was no way to retrieve the

Body-Cultivating Furnace, and the Sect would not be able to settle down.

After much internal struggle, Jiang Baiye finally compromised and decided first to attempt a trade with other things in exchange for the Body-Cultivating

Furnace..
