Longevity Clan Starts with the Patriarch's Marriage

Chapter 384: Chapter 197: The Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster Who Offers an Embrace_2

She was unparalleled in beauty, like a lustrous pearl emitting radiant light, transcendental and ethereal, with skin as fair as jade and a natural celestial grace about her. Her features were nearly perfect, without a single flaw—she was one of the most beautiful women Han Li had ever seen.

Qiu Shuhui’s beauty was extreme, giving the impression she was only in her mid-twenties, yet her whole being exuded an enchanting temperament. She was born with a seductive charm, yet her delicate face was cold and refined.

Her skin was whiter than snow, her body glowed with divine light, as though frosted over, and her figure was slender and graceful, like the Nine Heavenly Immortal Jade intricately carved and polished.

Her three thousand strands of black hair cascaded down to her waist, and her white dress was purer than snow. Merely standing there, she gave Han Li a sense that she was otherworldly and purer than any goddess—she was a peerless beauty.

After admiring Qiu Shuhui’s stunning appearance, Han Li exclaimed, “Truly a beauty unsurpassed by time.”

Qiu Shuhui was a woman of peerless elegance. Though she was by nature seductive, with enchanting eyes, she bore no trace of vulgarity. She was radiant and pure, exuding a natural sense of contrast.

“Have you decided?” After commenting, Han Li asked with a smile.

Han Li certainly would not refuse Qiu Shuhui, who had thrown herself at him and volunteered to marry into the Li Manor. His question was merely a casual inquiry.

Even if Qiu Shuhui regretted her decision now and wished to leave, it was already too late. The old ancestor Han didn’t have the habit of letting a feast slip from his lips.

“I want to break through to the True Martial Realm. Does the Manor Lord have a way?”

Her gaze resting on Han Li’s handsome countenance, Qiu Shuhui spoke frankly.

As a Loose Cultivator with Third Grade aptitude, reaching the Sixth Heaven of the Myriad Phenomena Realm was already a significant feat. Advancing further to the Seventh Heaven was difficult, let alone aspiring to ascend to the True Martial Realm one day.

Qiu Shuhui had been watching the Lord of the Li Manor for a long time, observing, waiting. After many years, none of his wives and concubines suffered mishaps—instead, their cultivation had greatly increased. This had finally convinced Qiu Shuhui to make up her mind.

She came to try her luck with the Manor Lord, fully prepared for what lay ahead.

If the Manor Lord could help her break through to the True Martial Realm and become an Emperor Wu-level powerhouse, she was willing to become his Dao companion, one of his cherished wives.

If the Manor Lord couldn’t achieve that but still tried to keep her against her will, like a tyrant forcing his hand, she would not permit it and would instantly trigger a Great Transference Talisman, teleporting thousands of miles away to another location within the Xuan Domain.

For the Manor Lord to find her in the vast Xuan Domain would be a fool’s dream.

This was one of Qiu Shuhui’s greatest trump cards. She originally had two Great Transference Talismans. She had used one to escape from an Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm, and thus her confidence was unshakable.

As a Loose Cultivator, Qiu Shuhui knew the pain of lacking cultivation resources. The chance of her breaking through to the True Martial Realm on sheer determination was not high, even with Third Grade aptitude, without a significant amount of cultivation resources for support.

If she still wanted to shorten the cultivation time, she would need to undergo trials and seek great fortunes, which was perilous, with a high likelihood of dying in the process.

Qiu Shuhui grew determined this time because she had recently undergone a trial, competing for a chance that ultimately failed, nearly falling into the hands of a Devilish Emperor of the True Martial Realm—with no good ends in sight.

After a fortunate escape, Qiu Shuhui decided to try her luck with the Manor Lord—it was a shortcut.

To take advantage of the Manor Lord’s shortcut, she would first need to allow the Manor Lord to take her shortcut.

Otherwise, why would the Manor Lord help her ascend to the True Martial Realm?

Qiu Shuhui, who had roamed the Cultivation Realm for hundreds of years, understood this principle.

“There are many ways, and for me, none are difficult,” Han Li said, smiling, just as frank.

Qiu Shuhui’s eyes lit up, and she breathed a sigh of relief. Having a way was good.

“Would the Manor Lord care to elaborate?” Qiu Shuhui asked again.

“Seeing as you have thrown yourself at me, it’s not impossible for the old ancestor,” replied Han Li.

With a flip of his hand, Han Li summoned a Jade Vial into his palm.

Han Li casually tossed it to Qiu Shuhui, saying indifferently, “Take a look.”

Qiu Shuhui, momentarily stunned, still caught it promptly, opened the Jade Vial to look, and was instantly astonished. Her pretty face went blank, her eyes filled with bewilderment.

She looked at Han Li, blinking, wanting to ask if this was indeed the pill she knew of. But the fragrance of the pill and its shape matched the Divine Pill of her dreams.

True Martial Pill!

This was the miraculous pill that could aid a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm in breaking through to the True Martial Realm and possibly elevate the grade of their Martial True Pill by one to three levels.

This was the Divine Pill she had longed for, and the Manor Lord had just tossed it to her as if it were rubbish!

The incongruity shook Qiu Shuhui’s Daoist heart. At that moment, she realized the Manor Lord was quite unlike the rumors.

Qiu Shuhui even felt tempted to activate the Great Transference Talisman and flee. Once she escaped and cultivated to the peak of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, with her aptitude and the True Martial Pill, she was certain to advance to the True Martial Realm and become an unparalleled Emperor Wu.

But Qiu Shuhui suppressed the urge, partly because she feared the Manor Lord’s strength. If he could give her the pill so easily, it might be a fake True Martial Pill, or his strength might be far greater than she expected, meaning he wasn’t afraid of her running away with the pill.

On the other hand, Qiu Shuhui was a woman of her word, with her own principles. If the Manor Lord treated her with sincerity, she wouldn’t leave just like that and was willing to become his Dao companion.

The Manor Lord wasn’t a devil or an old man, he was handsome, powerful, and prestigious—truly her best option.
