The intelligence they had on the Han Family patriarch indicated that, after leaving Tianxuan Mountain in his early years, he had encountered some great fortune which had improved his aptitude. Within just a few short decades, his cultivation had soared dramatically, propelling him to become a true person of the God Refining Realm.

This patriarch of the Han Family was also a direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the major Leizhou Sect, Tianxuan Mountain, adept at concealing his true strength. Had it not been for the relocation to Yuanzhou, it’s likely he wouldn’t have revealed his cultivation in the God Refining Realm.

Every power was wary of such cultivators, for no one knew what realm they truly resided in. The power they displayed might very well be just a ruse, and anyone who dared to make a move against them risked a crushing counter-strike, falling into the trap of the old sixth.

“We have seen Patriarch Han!”

The cultivators bowed respectfully, their tones filled with great reverence.

They were merely practitioners of the Gang Yuan Realm, the Pihai Realm, and some even from the Innate Realm, while Patriarch Han was a true person of the God Refining Realm, his strength far surpassing theirs.

Patriarch Han was only over two hundred years old and had more than two hundred years of lifespan remaining; there was hope for him to break through to the Hollow Void Stage and achieve the status of Grandmaster in the future, which they dared not offend.

They were also filled with envy. Patriarch Han used to be just an Innate Realm cultivator, but with a great opportunity, he had soared to the heavens. When could they ever encounter such luck, and when would they become the next Patriarch Han?

Dozens of beautiful female cultivators standing behind them also bowed and addressed Patriarch Han, while their sidelong glances continually surveyed the figure above.

Was this the man they were to marry in the future?

Not only was his cultivation profound, but he was also truly handsome.

“The clan head (father, Sect Master, master) did not deceive me,” the same thought arose in the many beautiful female cultivators.

Since marriage was inevitable, they naturally hoped their future husband would be a handsome man rather than an old geezer.

Being a concubine of a true person from the God Refining Realm wasn’t so bad; they could gain access to many cultivation resources and have more hope of advancing to higher realms.

But was the competition not a bit too fierce?

The numerous beautiful female cultivators glanced at the others and felt somewhat anxious. Would they be chosen?

In their respective clans and sects, they were all renowned female cultivators with not only good aptitude but also top-notch looks and temperament.

Besides these lesser powers, there was another presence in the hall, not small by any means—a delegate from Yonchang Manor, the City Envoy.

Since the spiritual energy in Yonchang Manor was too sparse and there were no God Refining Realm powers present, the Lord of Yonchang Manor was merely a Great Master of the Gang Yuan Realm.

But no one dared to underestimate the Lord of Yonchang Manor, for he was backed by the entire Daqian Empire.

An Immortal Refining Clan moving into Yonchang Manor had long caught the attention of its lord, who highly valued it and specifically waited until Han Mansion was constructed before sending someone to convey greetings.

The City Envoy glanced at the other powers in the main hall and felt somewhat out of place, his discomfort showing.

All those powers had brought beautiful female cultivators, while he came alone. But what could he do? The Lord of Yonchang Manor couldn’t possibly offer a daughter to Patriarch Han—what would that make the Daqian Empire? To earn such treatment, Patriarch Han would have to possess at least True Martial Realm strength, which the Qian Dynasty would tacitly accept.

“Paying respects to Patriarch Han, the Lord has asked me to extend his congratulations,” said the City Envoy respectfully, though with a touch of self-possession.

By coming here, he represented the Lord of Yonchang Manor on a smaller scale, and the Da Qian Empire on a larger one. He naturally could not lose his stature, as he would face unpleasant consequences upon his return. “No need for such courtesy from everyone.”

“I, Han Li, have recently arrived with the Han Family and will now settle at Chengsheng Mountain within Yonchang Manor. I hope to receive your kind care in the future.”

Han Li wore a mild smile on his face, uttering the polite niceties.

Since these powers had shown him such deference, he would not turn them away. It was nice for everyone to be cordial and no one to seek trouble.

The high-ranking figures of the various powers immediately responded, lavishing praise on Han Li before saying:

“Patriarch Han has high cultivation and outstanding strength, unmatched and heroic. The young ladies from our homes (sect) have long admired the Patriarch and, upon hearing of his arrival in Yonchang Manor, earnestly requested to meet him, wishing to sweeten his life with their presence. We hope that the Patriarch won’t disappoint their sincere sentiments.”

Following this, the beautiful female cultivators stepped out from behind their leaders and stood in the middle of the great hall, like a blooming array of flowers, each possessing their own grace and charm.

Han Li’s eyes sparkled as he said with a smile, “Since they possess such heartfelt devotion, I cannot let them down.”

“Here is what we’ll do: Those with qualifications of Seventh Grade and above can stay and become concubines to me, Patriarch Han. Those who don’t meet the criteria need not feel discouraged, as there are many outstanding descendants in the Han Family who you can become the wives or concubines

of.”

“Of course, if you are unwilling, I, Patriarch Han, will not force you,” Han Li added, purposely glancing at the leaders of the various powers.

There were precisely sixty-three beautiful female cultivators present, among them twenty-two of Ninth Grade, thirty-four of Eighth Grade, and only seven of Seventh Grade—pitifully few.

Initially, Han Li’s standard for taking concubines was Eighth Grade, but now he had no choice but to raise it to Seventh Grade, given the excessive number of candidates. He certainly didn’t want to accept more than forty concubines all at once.

Otherwise, if the number of concubines suddenly exceeded a hundred, he would be hard-pressed to equally attend to them all; it would take many days to complete a cycle, leading to the neglect of other beauties.

After all, whether for his descendants or himself, the rewards in terms of aptitude enhancement, cultivation progress, and lifespan would be just as substantial. This way, Han Li could also free himself to attend to other matters.

The cultivators in the hall were suddenly taken aback, with only a few brimming with excitement. Accepting only Seventh Grade was perfect, creating a closer connection to them.. Even if other powers became in-laws with the Han Mansion, there would be a significant difference in closeness—a concubine to Patriarch Han or a wife or concubine to his descendants—are

these the same?
