Chapter 151 Han Yongchun's Choice, Han Patriarch's Plan, Something Big Happened
Chapter 151: Han Yongchun's Choice, Han Laozu's Plan, Big Things Are Happening
When Han Yongchun reported to his family, he was quickly welcomed into the Zhou Mansion.
A maid led him to the main hall of the Zhou Mansion and brought him a cup of high-quality spiritual tea to taste, with a plate of spiritual fruits placed beside it.
Han Yongchun casually picked up a fruit and took a bite, only to find that it didn't taste as good as the ones in the Han Mansion, and the spiritual energy content was only about one-third. He shook his head silently.
Indeed, the power of the Zhou Mansion's Vital Spirit Realm force was far inferior to his own family's. The Zhou Mansion's patriarch was only in the mid-stage of the Vital Spirit Realm, and his lifespan was less than thirty years.
On the other hand, his father's strength far surpassed the Zhou Mansion's patriarch. Before leaving home, his mother, Li Mingmeng, revealed a bit of information to him - his father was about to break through to the Empty Void Realm and become a grandmaster of a certain sect.
Knowing that Han Yongchun was going out to gain experience, Li Mingmeng was somewhat worried and decided to give him some confidence, but she didn't dare to directly reveal Han Li's cultivation in the Empty Void Realm.
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes walked into the main hall. When he saw Han Yongchun, his eyes lit up, and he immediately called out, "Young Master Han."
Han Yongchun recognized his identity and immediately returned the greeting, "Master Zhou."
"Young Master's visit to our Zhou Mansion is an honor for us. It brings glory to our Zhou Mansion," said Master Zhou, holding Han Yongchun's hand warmly.
Han Yongchun was somewhat surprised by the favor he received. He wasn't highly regarded in the Han Mansion, but he didn't expect to be treated so well outside. Was the reputation of the Han Mansion really that impressive?
With his thoughts racing, Han Yongchun withdrew his hand and said, "Master, you're too kind."
After chatting with Han Yongchun for a while and getting closer, Master Zhou finally said, "I already know the purpose of your visit, Young Master. The Zhou Mansion can indeed provide some help for you."
Han Yongchun was delighted and quickly asked, "I wonder what the Zhou Mansion can do for me?"
Although he was going out to gain experience, he was somewhat clueless about where to go and what to do to achieve the desired effect of gaining experience.
Master Zhou raised an eyebrow, realizing that Han Yongchun was still inexperienced in dealing with people, so he didn't mind his tone and directly said, "There are three options: First, Young Master can help escort a batch of precious spiritual materials to the neighboring Tianyong Mansion. Along the way, there may be troubles that Young Master can easily resolve."
"Second, our Zhou Mansion's exploration team has discovered a small-scale ruin deep in the Mangyang Mountain. There seems to be a low-grade spiritual stone mine inside. Young Master can go and help explore the ruin, assisting our Zhou Mansion in obtaining the spiritual stone mine."
"Third, Young Master can temporarily join the Zhou Mansion as a guest official and help deal with some troubles in the mansion."
Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhirou, and Zhou Zhixuan were his daughters. Before Han Yongchun arrived, Zhou Zhiruo had already sent the news back, asking him to help out.
After discussing with the patriarch, Master Zhou agreed to this.
The situation is chaotic now, but the Yongchang Mansion still respects the Han Mansion. The Zhou Mansion's ability to withstand pressure is still too weak. If the Han Mansion can provide more care, it will be better able to weather the future chaos.
He knew that his three daughters were quite favored by Han Laozu, but Han Laozu married and took concubines too quickly. He had just married another wife, and the three precious daughters were only minor concubines. It's likely that they won't be favored for long.
Therefore, Lord Zhou also wants to further strengthen the relationship with the Han Mansion, and this is a good opportunity. However, he is unsure of Han Yongchun's risk tolerance, so he has provided three options with different levels of risk.
Han Yongchun is a Sea Opening Realm cultivator. Although he recently broke through, his strength is not weak in Yongchang Mansion.
Faced with the three choices given by Lord Zhou, Han Yongchun hesitated. The third choice had the least risk, followed by the first, and the second had the greatest risk, which also reflected the level of experience gained.
He originally wanted to choose the third option for a temporary transition, but he realized that his talent was poor and his comprehension seemed low. If he didn't work hard, he feared that he would have no chance to stand out in the future.
When he went out for training, his father, Han Li, gave him three trump cards to use in times of danger, which could save him three times. This was Han Yongchun's greatest confidence.
So he chose the second option, to explore a small relic and compete for spirit stone mines.
Compared to cultivators of the same realm, Han Yongchun had some confidence in his own strength. The Han Mansion he came from was the most powerful force in Yongchang Mansion. The cultivation techniques and martial skills he learned were far better than those of other forces in Yongchang Mansion. He also had enough spiritual pills and powerful spiritual tools.
Although he was only at the first stage of the Sea Opening Realm, Han Yongchun felt that his strength was equivalent to an ordinary cultivator at the third stage of the Sea Opening Realm. If he used secret techniques, it might even be higher.
Lord Zhou looked at Han Yongchun in surprise. He thought Han Yongchun would choose the first or third option, but he didn't expect him to choose the riskiest second option.
After thinking for a moment, he reminded, "Young Master Han, several Vital Spirit Realm forces in Yongchang Mansion are aware of the information about the Mangyang Mountain relic. Although no high-level cultivators of the Vital Spirit Realm have gone there, there are definitely late-stage Sea Opening Realm cultivators."
"Don't worry, Lord Zhou. Even if I can't win, I still have confidence in saving my own life," Han Yongchun understood his meaning and immediately replied.
"Alright, Young Master, please wait for two days. At that time, we will go to Mangyang Mountain together with my Zhou family's team."
Since Han Yongchun insisted on participating, Lord Zhou didn't persuade him further. After all, Han Yongchun came from the Han Mansion and was the direct son of Han Laozu, although he was not valued. But for his first experience outside, he should be given some trump cards, which could also bring a lot of help to the Zhou Mansion.
Chengsheng Mountain, Chengdao Peak.
Han Li, Lutianxiang, Jiang Baiye, and Yun Miaoyi were soaking in a hot spring, with various flower petals floating inside.
It could be seen that Jiang Baiye's belly was noticeably larger, while Lutianxiang was still early in her pregnancy, and her lower abdomen was not yet obvious.
Yun Miaoyi's lower abdomen was still flat as a plain. She had only married into the Han Mansion a few days ago. Although she had been completely conquered by Han Li and successfully conceived, it would still be a long time before her lower abdomen showed obvious signs.
Lutianxiang and Jiang Baiye became Han Li's wives one after another, but their relationship was not very close. After Yun Miaoyi arrived, she acted as a lubricant and quickly brought the three women together.
Otherwise, if Han Laozu wanted to soak in the hot spring with his three wives, it would be a long way off. It would take who knows how many years to achieve that.
Han Li was contemplating his future strategy and pondering his plans while admiring the exquisite bodies of the three women. When they soaked in the hot spring, they only covered the important parts, and their large areas of flawless skin bathed in the sunlight and hot spring water like white jade.
"Husband, Mingmeng's eldest son is going out for training, and she is quite worried. Why don't you go and comfort her?" Yun Miaoyi changed her posture, her tone lazy.
After agreeing to become Han Li's wife and going through all the procedures, Yun Miaoyi wholeheartedly accepted her new identity and called him "husband" at every opportunity.
Jiang Baiye and Lu Tianxiang furrowed their brows slightly, feeling that this address was too cheesy and they couldn't bring themselves to say it. They also wondered how Yun Miaoyi, this witch, could say it.
"No need," Han Li shook his head slightly, his tone indifferent, showing little concern for Han Yongchun's situation.
This was the path Han Yongchun chose for himself. He didn't want to have too many descendants in the Han Mansion and wanted to make a name for himself. In that case, he had to strive and fight.
Han Li wouldn't bestow a large amount of resources on any descendant without reason, unless they demonstrated their own value, whether it be talent, comprehension, ability, or...
The resources of the Han Mansion were limited, and it was impossible to take care of all the descendants. There had to be choices made, focusing on cultivating a portion of them. If others were not satisfied, they had to strive and let Han Li see their efforts and achievements.
This was the case now and would be in the future. His future descendants would increase in number, and the competition would only become more intense. As long as it remained at a reasonable intensity, Han Li would not interfere.
He bestowed three treasures upon Han Yongchun, which could protect his life three times. If even this couldn't have a good tempering effect, then Han Yongchun should honestly return to the Han Mansion and hope for his children to succeed.
When Han Li first arrived in this world, he was penniless and had to rely on his own efforts for everything. Even the opportunity to join the Tianxuan Mountain was obtained through hardships.
Han Laozu had fought and established the vast Han Mansion, and his descendants were all beneficiaries, starting off much higher than him.
Yun Miaoyi smiled and didn't say much. Jiang Baiye and Lu Tianxiang also nodded slightly, approving of Han Li's approach.
They weren't worried that their children wouldn't receive focused cultivation. They were Han Li's wives, with high cultivation and talent, and could secure good treatment for their descendants.
Their children's talent wouldn't be lacking either. With their support, they would become the backbone of the Han Mansion in the future. According to the Han family's rules, their descendants would be on the priority cultivation list from birth.
This was determined by Innate. For example, Lu Tianxiang's first child, Han Yongzhen, had a third-grade talent. As long as he was well cultivated, he had a great chance of advancing to the True Martial Realm in the future. How could Han Li not cultivate him well?
"Now that the situation in Daqian is becoming more chaotic and approaching collapse, even if Chu Zhenxiong (the name of Chu Dingqian's body) is trying his best to maintain it, it won't last long. What do you plan to do?" Lu Tianxiang asked Han Li, wanting to know his plans for the future.
Jiang Baiye and Yun Miaoyi also looked at Han Li, wanting to know the current situation, which was not good.
When Chu Zhenxiong couldn't hold on any longer, the original state would probably be annexed by the Yin Yang Sect or other mysterious forces. It would be much more difficult for the Han Mansion to develop steadily under the rule of these two forces.
The three of them, one from the Yin Yang Sect and one from a mysterious force, would cause big trouble for the Han family if their identities were exposed.
Although Han Li was in the True Martial Realm, he had just broken through and his strength was not strong among the True Martial Realm. How could he contend with the True Martial Realm Martial Kings of the Yin Yang Sect and the mysterious forces?
Although the Yin Yang Sect only had two True Martial Realm Martial Kings, the demonic sect behind them had a large number of True Martial Realm Martial Emperors, and even legendary Universal Truth Realm powerhouses.
The mysterious force that Lu Tianxiang came from also had many True Martial Realm experts and possibly a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor. She knew how strong the mysterious force was, being able to secretly rule over a third of the chaotic region. It probably had a Divine Origin Realm Martial Emperor.
Han Li hesitated slightly and revealed part of his thoughts, "I plan to change my identity and help the Daqian Dynasty."
Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, and Yun Miaoyi's pupils all contracted. Was this the Han Li they knew?
In their impression, Han Li is cautious, cunning, steady, treacherous, and daring enough to capture them one by one as his Dao companions.
Han Li smiled and explained, "I am very confident that I won't expose my identity."
"Relying solely on Chu Zhenxiong is not enough for Da Qian. He doesn't have much time left. Can he live for another fifty years? A True Martial realm like him cannot stabilize the situation in Da Qian."
"The external forces that retreated from the twelve provinces to the six central provinces, as well as the local forces in the six central provinces, are all seeking an escape route. They are still observing the situation and looking for a new home. If one of the four major forces can offer a good price, they will definitely not hesitate to sell out the Da Qian Dynasty."
"The four major forces dare not intervene in the six central provinces now, for fear that Chu Zhenxiong will go crazy after the fall of Da Qian. A True Martial mid-stage expert without any scruples is extremely terrifying."
"But once Chu Zhenxiong dies, Da Qian will be completely finished. Our Han Family will also be unable to continue developing peacefully, so there must be a True Martial realm expert who stands up to support the Da Qian Dynasty."
"If I come forward with a different identity, although I cannot regain the twelve external provinces of Da Qian, there will still be no problem in stabilizing the situation in Da Qian."
"In that case, Da Qian will have two True Martial realm Martial Kings, one of whom may not have much time left, but the other will have a long lifespan. This will bring confidence to the internal forces of Da Qian, and they will not act recklessly."
"After swallowing the twelve external provinces, the four major forces also need time to digest. This is a very large territory, and some of their True Martial realm experts are still trapped in the Jiao Saint's Secret Realm, so they will not further threaten Da Qian."
"In the next few decades, Chu Zhenxiong and I will be the highest-ranking figures in Da Qian. When Chu Zhenxiong dies, I will be the highest authority in Da Qian. Whether it is now or in the future, I can seize massive benefits for us, for the Han Family."
Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, and Yun Miaoyi nodded in agreement. They also shared this view, but how could Han Li guarantee that his identity would not be exposed?
Even if Han Li changed his identity, his martial arts skills would not change. When he reveals his true self in the future, he will still be exposed.
Yun Miaoyi voiced her doubts.
Han Li said, "I have my own way."
These specific details, Han Li temporarily did not plan to tell them. He would discuss it later.
The three women sneered. Han Li was still hiding something. How many secrets did he actually have?
Compared to this, they were actually more curious about how Han Li's cultivation had improved. Yun Miaoyi had only recently arrived, but Jiang Baiye and Lu Tianxiang had been with Han Li for a long time. They had spent a lot of time together.
The two women knew that this bastard had never practiced cultivation before, and they had never seen him use dual cultivation techniques or cultivation-enhancing techniques during battles. But Han Li's cultivation had skyrocketed, advancing rapidly.
They didn't know the truth before, but after Han Li informed them of his True Martial realm cultivation, they knew that his cultivation had soared in a short period of time.
Although they were very curious, Lu Tianxiang, Jiang Baiye, and Yun Miaoyi did not pursue the matter. It was Han Li's secret, and if he didn't want to tell them, no amount of questioning would be useful. It would only damage their relationship with each other.
To be honest, they thought it was fine this way. Han Li's rapid cultivation improvement was a good thing. It would allow him to better protect them in troubled times and safeguard the things they cared about.
For example, Jiang Baiye was quite happy in her heart. Han Li was a True Martial realm expert, so if the Canghai Sect encountered a crisis of annihilation, he could secretly help without causing any trouble to Han Li. After all, a True Martial realm Martial King was extremely powerful.
Han Li was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed.
