She was unmatched in beauty, like a shimmering pearl bathed in the light of dawn, otherworldly and pure, with skin like immortal jade and natural elegance. Her face was nearly flawless, void of any blemish—one of the most beautiful female cultivators Han Li had ever seen.

Qiu Shuhui was incredibly beautiful, appearing to be only around twenty-five or twenty-six years old, yet her whole being radiated a captivating quality. With a natural charm and a delicately gorgeous yet cold face, she stood out prominently.

Her skin was whiter than snow, and her body emitted a divine glow, as if enveloped in frost. Her figure was slender and graceful, carved like the Nine Heavenly Immortal Jade.

Her hair, black as a raven’s feathers, cascaded down to her waist, and her white dress was purer than snow. Merely standing there, she gave Han Li the impression of a being untouched by mundane concerns, more saintly than a goddess, truly a rare beauty of her generation.

After admiring Qiu Shuhui’s stunning appearance, Han Li exclaimed in admiration, “Truly, a peerless beauty.”

Qiu Shuhui, with her world-class elegance, naturally possessed an alluring charm. Despite her enchanting eyes, she bore no trace of vulgarity; her beauty was remarkable and holy, with a compelling contrast of qualities.

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

As for Qiu Shuhui, who was voluntarily throwing herself into his arms and willing to marry into the Li Manor, Han Li naturally wouldn’t refuse, and his question was asked merely in passing.

Even if Qiu Shuhui regretted her decision now and wanted to leave, it was no longer possible. The old ancestor, Han Li, did not have the habit of letting the prey that came to him escape.

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

Her gaze resting upon Han Li’s handsome face, Qiu Shuhui spoke frankly.

As a Loose Cultivator with Third Grade aptitude, it was already incredibly difficult for her to have cultivated to the Sixth Heaven of the Myriad Phenomena Realm. She found it very challenging to advance further to the Seventh Heaven, not to mention aspiring to the True Martial Realm in the future.

Qiu Shuhui had long been observing the Manor Lord of the Li Manor, biding her time. After so many years, none of the beautiful wives and concubines of the Manor Lord had met with any misfortune; instead, their cultivation had greatly improved, which finally convinced her to take action.

Seeking out the Manor Lord for an attempt, she came fully prepared.

If he could help her break through to the True Martial Realm and become a powerhouse like Emperor Wu, she was more than willing to be his consort and become one of his beloved wives.

If the Manor Lord couldn’t do it but still wanted to keep her against her will, trying to overpower her, then she would definitely not allow it and would activate a Movable Talisman to instantly teleport herself to another location in the Xuan Domain, thousands of miles away.

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

This was one of Qiu Shuhui’s biggest trump cards. She originally had two Movable Talismans, but had used one when she was being pursued by a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu, which helped her escape successfully, so she was quite confident.

As a Loose Cultivator, Qiu Shuhui knew all too well how painful it was to lack cultivation resources. The chances of her breaking through to the True Martial Realm on sheer hard work were slim, even with her Third Grade aptitude, without substantial cultivation resources to support her.

If she wanted to shorten the cultivation time, she would need to take on challenges and seek great fortunes, but this was fraught with peril, and she could easily die during such trials.

The reason Qiu Shuhui had resolved to take this step was because she had recently sought a fortuitous opportunity and failed, narrowly escaping capture by a demonic cultivator of the True Martial Realm. She would have met a terrible fate had she been taken.

After her fortunate escape, Qiu Shuhui decided to give it a try at the Manor Lord’s, seeing it as a shortcut.

If she wanted to take the Manor Lord’s shortcut, she had to let the Manor Lord take her shortcut first.

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

Qiu Shuhui, with hundreds of years of experience in the Cultivation Realm, understood this principle well.

“There are many methods, and for me, they are not difficult,” Han Li said with a smile, being as candid as she was.

Qiu Shuhui’s eyes brightened, and she breathed a sigh of relief—having a method was good news.

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

“Given that you’ve thrown yourself at me, I see no reason not to,” Han Li replied.

With a flip of his palm, a Jade Vial appeared in his hand.

Without much ceremony, Han Li tossed the Jade Vial to Qiu Shuhui, saying indifferently, “Take a look.”

Qiu Shuhui was momentarily stunned but caught the vial and swiftly opened it to check. The sight left her shocked, her pretty face frozen, her eyes filled with disbelief.

She looked at Han Li, blinking and wanting to ask if this was indeed the pill she knew, but the fragrance and shape of the pill matched the Divine Pill she had longed for.

The True Martial Pill!

This was a heaven-defying elixir that could help a Great Grandmaster of the Myriad Phenomena Realm break through to the True Martial Realm, and potentially even increase the grade of the Martial True Pill by one to three grades.

The Divine Pill she had dreamt of, and the Manor Lord had just tossed it to her as if it was trash!

This turn of events shocked Qiu Shuhui to her core. In that moment, she realized the Manor Lord might be quite different from what the rumors suggested.

Qiu Shuhui even felt the urge to activate the Movable Talisman and flee right there and then. If she succeeded, once reaching the pinnacle of the Myriad Phenomena Realm and with the aid of the True Martial Pill, her chances of advancing to the True Martial Realm and becoming an Emperor Wu were certain.

But Qiu Shuhui suppressed that impulse, partly because she feared the Manor Lord’s strength. He had so casually given her the pill, which could either be a fake True Martial Pill or a sign that he was far stronger than she had imagined, unconcerned about her potentially running away with it.

Another reason was Qiu Shuhui’s commitment to her promises; she had her own principles. If the Manor Lord treated her with genuine sincerity, she wouldn’t just walk away. She was ready to become his consort.

After all, the Manor Lord was neither a demon nor an old man. He was handsome, powerful, and held high status. He was the best choice for her.
