Han Li conducted his affairs strictly according to the rules. How his beloved wives and concubines chose to use the baptism quota, whether for themselves or their descendants, was their business, and he would not interfere.
He believed this to be the fairest approach.
If he had any favoritism, he could have given his favorite wife or concubines, and their descendants, several more baptisms. Although the other beloved wives and concubines would be dissatisfied, what could they do?
In terms of cultivating his descendants, Han Li currently had two concerns. The first was that the grade of the Life-Prolonging Furnace was too low, only at the level of a Supreme Grade Divine Weapon, and it was uncertain whether it could advance further after assimilating the Divine Gold.
Even a lower-grade Emperor Level Life-Prolonging Furnace did not meet his standards, and Han Li hoped to obtain another Creation Stone so he could elevate the furnace to the level of a Supreme Grade Emperor Weapon.
After the Time-Sky Tower had been enhanced to a Supreme Grade Emperor Weapon, its auxiliary effects had exploded by countless times, and he believed the Life-Prolonging Furnace would do likewise.
By then, the number of baptism quotas from the Life-Prolonging Furnace would undoubtedly increase dramatically; for instance, performing fifty to a hundred baptisms a month, which would allow all those in Han Mansion to reach first-rank aptitude within a mere ten years.
Of course, this was just what Han Li hoped for. He doubted it was likely, but he would be very content if the number of monthly baptisms from the Life-Prolonging Furnace could increase to thirty or even twenty.
The second was his desire to acquire a treasure that could bestow aptitude to those without it.
Currently, he had almost four thousand descendants, but less than two thousand of them had aptitudes, with over two thousand more lacking any aptitude.
Should such a treasure exist, even if it only turned those two thousand-plus descendants from having no aptitude to possessing mediocre ones, Han Li would be exceedingly excited.
As long as they had aptitude, the arrangements for the Rebirth Pills would elevate all of them to fifth-rank, and then they could shine for Han Mansion, contribute, vie for the baptism quotas of the Life-Prolonging Furnace, and continue to improve their aptitudes.
If this step were achieved, the genes of Han Mansion would be thoroughly optimized, and the descendants born in the future would have a minimum of fifth-rank aptitude, laying a solid foundation for Han Mansionâs glorious prosperity.
Whether it is the Creation Stone or the treasure that could bestow aptitude, Han Li currently had neither; he hoped to unbox them, but the process of opening treasure boxes was too mysterious.
The Creation Stone was an Emperor Level Supreme Grade treasure; a treasure that could bestow aptitude probably had to be at least of the Emperor Level Supreme Grade as well, making it exceedingly difficult to unbox.
So many years had passed since the System upgrade, and after opening dozens to hundreds of treasure boxes, he had only acquired two Emperor Level Supreme Grade treasures.
After giving instructions to his descendants, Han Li found his beloved wife, Long Yue, and made a request.
âMy lord, you want to take back the Immortal Cultivating Pill from my possession?â Long Yue frowned slightly after listening.
Initially, when she agreed to become Han Liâs Dao companion, the Immortal Cultivating Pill played a significant role, and she was touched by it for a long time.
If her lord wished to take it back, despite feeling some displeasure, she would still hand over the Immortal Cultivating Pill.
Seeing Long Yueâs demeanor, Han Li knew she had misunderstood. He immediately held her in his embrace, and after a tender moment, explained:
âYueâer, itâs like this. Iâve recently obtained a divine treasure called the Chengdao Vial, the effects of which are incredibly heaven-defyingâ¦.â
After listening to Han Liâs explanation, Long Yue was utterly shocked, overwhelmed by astonishment.
Her lord had acquired another Top Grade Emperor Weapon!
Although the Chengdao Vial was an auxiliary Emperor Weapon, it was still a weapon of the Heaven Imperial Realm, and the Chengdao Vial had such heaven-defying effects.
In her previous life, she had also heard of such types of treasures, but their effects were far inferior to her lordâs Chengdao Vial. Where on earth did her lord find so many Emperor Weapons?
Long Yue hesitated to speak and ultimately held back, refraining from asking; she knew she should not ask, as it would not yield an answer.
She was open-minded, just like the lordâs other beloved wives, without any concerns about it. If the lord wanted to keep it a secret, let him. After all, they all enjoyed the benefits of the items he brought out and gained endless advantages.
âMy lord, can the Chengdao Vial really produce one Supreme Grade Divine Pill every day?â Long Yue couldnât help but ask, still finding it unbelievable.
The Immortal Cultivating Pill was a Supreme Grade Divine Pill, a transcendental Divine Pill that could help peak practitioners in the Tongxuan Realm break through to the Saint Yuan Realm. Itâs astounding to have one produced every day without any cost.
Wouldnât this allow the mass production of Saints of the Saint Yuan Realm?!
Han Li nodded slightly and said, âThatâs why I want Yueâer to give me the Immortal Cultivating Pill first, and Iâll put it inside the Chengdao Vial. Tomorrow, Iâll return that same pill to Yueâer.â
âAlright~â
Without hesitation, Long Yue took out the Immortal Cultivating Pill and handed it back to Han Li.
She did not ask her lord to show her the Chengdao Vial; she trusted that he would not deceive her in this matter, for there was no need.
âThank you for understanding, Yueâer.â
Han Li breathed a sigh of relief, rewarded her with a kiss, and then, in front of her, took out the Chengdao Vial and placed the Immortal Cultivating Pill inside it.
Afterward, he casually tossed it, and the Chengdao Vial flew up to the nine heavens, keeping company with the Void Bell and the Time-Sky Tower, where it could better absorb Higher level spiritual energy.
Witnessing this scene, Long Yueâs eyes sparkled brightly, confirming that what her lord had said was indeed true.
âYueâer, itâs time for us to rest.â
Suddenly, Long Yue felt a tickling sensation by her ear accompanied by warm breath, as she heard her lordâs words.
Long Yue nodded, without any trace of shyness, and actively engaged in discussing the Dao with Han Li.
Two hours later, the session of dual cultivation ended, and an invigorated Han Li arrived at the summit of Chengdao Peak. Before he could even catch his breath, a System notification echoed in his mind.
âYour descendant count has reached four thousand. Youâve gained six hundred years of cultivation, a hundred Sea-Splitting Pills, fifty Pillars of Gang Energy Pills, twenty Immortal Conservation Pills, four hundred years of alchemy experience, and a Divine Rank lower-grade martial technique, the Five Elements Divine Punch.â
