After tidying up, Yan Liulong, bearing the soreness, walked out of the courtyard. The beautiful scenery of Chengsheng Mountain lifted her spirits a bit, but upon seeing those stunning beauties admiring the scenery, her mood soured again, and she even felt somewhat dejected and inferior.

Judging from the attire of those beauties, they must be Han Li’s wives and concubines. A look of envy appeared in Yan Liulong’s eyes.

She had previously read some reports about Han Li, and had also seen information about his concubines; only his wives’ information was not available and was strictly protected.

These concubines all had low aptitudes and even lower cultivations. In terms of beauty, temperament, and even their postures, none of them compared to her. Yet, they were concubines, and she was merely a servant concubine, with no status whatsoever in their presence.

“Sigh~”

Yan Liulong sighed again and silently walked back to her courtyard, giving up on the idea of looking for Yun Miaoyi.

Chengdao Peak was so large, and without any cultivation, coupled with her sore body, how could it be easy to find Yun Miaoyi?

Besides, even if she found Yun Miaoyi, it would be of no use. Yun Miaoyi couldn’t change Han Li’s mind, otherwise she wouldn’t just be a servant concubine.

“Everything depends on myself.”

On the other side, in the Da Qian Li Manor.

After leaving Yan Liulong that morning, Han Li went to find Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, Zhang Yuyan, Zhou Zhiruo, and the other tender wives and beautiful concubines.

Currently, only four wives in Han Mansion, including Yun Miaoyi and Gongsun Yue, knew that he was Li Feiyu. The other beauties were unaware and hadn’t noticed.

The concubines thought that if Han Li wasn’t with them, he was with other concubines, or attending to his four wives. They never imagined their lord was hiding beauties in golden houses in the capital city of Da Qian and opening another manor to take in concubines.

The concubines in the Li Manor felt the same way. Beauties such as Li Qingqing and Die Yi didn’t dare to inquire about Li Feiyu’s whereabouts, only hoping that their lord would spend more time with them. When he didn’t come, they cultivated on their own or gathered in groups.

Han Li stood atop the Chong Xiao Pavilion, looking down at the capital city of Da Qian, calculating the time in his mind.

It had been several months since the Dragon Maiden opened the Sacred Dragon Secret Realm and took the Dragon Ball, trapping several True Martial Realm cultivators inside. There was less than a year and a half before they would emerge.

When the time came, he would be able to act and recapture the Demon Queen. Han Li had been longing for the Demon Queen for quite a while.

Although he had already tasted two true demon women, Fang Yousi and Bi Xinlei, these two demon women couldn’t compare to the Demon Queen.

Despite it being just a fleeting glimpse, the Demon Queen had left a deep impression on Han Li. Her enchanting wildness was something none of his tender wives and beautiful concubines possessed.

What’s more, the Demon Queen was also of the True Martial Realm, and most likely of Third-Grade aptitude, all of which made Han Li even more eager for her.

He couldn’t wait to capture the Demon Queen and show her the strength of Elder Han.

Han Li’s spiritual sense surged out, covering the Da Qian capital city while deliberately avoiding the Imperial Palace; he didn’t want to provoke Chu Dingqian, that old geezer.

Ever since confirming that Chu Zhenxiong was Chu Dingqian’s second incarnation, Han Li’s killing intent towards Chu Dingqian had deepened. Chu Dingqian had lived for thousands of years after splintering Da Jing to create Da Qian, and was extremely cunning.

But even after he proposed so many conditions and squeezed a quarter of the Qian Dynasty’s essence in one breath, Chu Dingqian actually agreed without much hesitation.

There’s definitely a problem. That old thing might be thinking of reincarnating and, after cultivating to the True Martial Realm, coming back to settle the score with me. By then I might not know Chu Dingqian’s third life’s identity and could very well be taken by surprise.

Moreover, Han Li coveted the Soul-Cultivating Furnace in Chu Dingqian’s possession, which made his murderous intent toward Chu Dingqian even stronger.

Last time, when he tested Chu Dingqian by killing off the State Preceptor’s lineage, he could clearly sense the deeply hidden murderous intent within Chu Dingqian. Han Li knew that if he tried to provoke and test him again, Chu Dingqian might not be able to hold back.

Han Li didn’t want to disrupt the current situation, as he didn’t have the strength to fully control everything yet. So, he was waiting, waiting for his own breakthrough to the True Martial Realm.

Chu Dingqian was waiting too, but the time Chu Dingqian needed was far more than what Han Li needed—hundreds of years more.

Han Li had no intention of letting Chu Dingqian successfully reincarnate. When the breakthrough to the True Martial Realm was achieved, when the timing was right, and the preparations were complete, he could assassinate Chu Dingqian and seize the Soul-Cultivating Furnace.

Otherwise, if he waited for Chu Dingqian to reincarnate, the Soul-Cultivating Furnace would no longer be obtainable. At that time, if Chu Dingqian saw his strength was too formidable, he would definitely flee far away to avoid Han Li’s edge, and the chance to get the Soul-Cultivating Furnace would really be gone.

Without the Soul-Cultivating Furnace, the Life-Prolonging Furnace hidden in Chengsheng Mountain wouldn’t be attainable either—and that is a Supreme Grade Divine Weapon.

Han Li was almost certain that it was indeed the Life-Prolonging Furnace. Only such top-tier Sacred Weapons and Great Saintly Weapons could continuously absorb spiritual energy for more than a hundred thousand years. A mere Heaven Rank Supreme Grade Body-Cultivating Furnace was still not capable of doing that.

Once his Spiritual Sense covered the Capital City of the Daqian, Han Li continued to expand outward. His Spiritual Sense was strong, comparable to the second level of the True Martial Realm, with a maximum coverage range of six hundred thousand miles.

Yuanzhou was the biggest province of the Daqian Empire, spanning a million miles. Han Li’s Spiritual Sense could cover more than half of it, allowing him to uncover the information he sought.

After a while, Han Li withdrew his Spiritual Sense, a smile emerging on his face.

He had scoured the Capital City of Daqian and most of Yuanzhou several times, thoroughly investigating all high-quality female cultivators and those of medium quality.

Even if these exceptional women or princesses hid within Formations, the mere Fourth Grade Formations couldn’t block Han Li’s probing, and they didn’t even notice it.

He also heard many rumors. These forces were intimidated by his annihilation of the State Preceptor’s lineage and his boldness in seizing Fairy Li. Initially, they had thought to send their exceptional daughters within their power to be his wives and concubines.

However, the officials of the Daqian forcefully debunked the rumors and conveyed Han Li’s previous explanation to Chu Dingqian, causing all parties to cease their actions and choose to wait and see.

This left Han Li somewhat disappointed. Although he had not intended for this, he would have been quite happy to see this situation unfold.

A few days later, the Master of The Li Manor announced that he would take in concubines again—this time three beauties, all of whom were well-known noble ladies in the Capital City.

These three concubines had different temperaments; some were pure and aloof, others dignified and noble, and still others playful and cute. Their appearances were quite pleasing, all scoring over eighty-seven in terms of beauty.

Zhou Xuan had a Fifth-grade aptitude, her cultivation reaching the late stage of the Gangyuan Realm. Guo Le and Du Feifei had Sixth-grade aptitudes, their cultivation only at the early stage of the Gangyuan Realm.

The three women were all quite young, not even fifty, which is unheard of for their aptitudes, but they came from powerful families.

Thus, Han Li directly took them as his concubines.
