“Help you achieve immortality?” Lu Tianxiang was astonished, finding the reason preposterous.
She didn’t have the ability to help others achieve immortality, she hadn’t even attained eternal life herself; how could she help others?
Han Li nodded solemnly.
Lu Tianxiang examined him closely and noticed that Han Li’s expression didn’t seem feigned, which puzzled her even more. She asked cautiously, “How would you have me help you achieve immortality?”
“Very simple.” A smile appeared on Han Li’s face as he sincerely said, “Marry me and enter my household.”
Han Li’s sincerity came from the heart. Wu Sheng’s mother had good aptitude, a beautiful face, a fine figure, high cultivation level; she was one of his top choices for taking a wife or concubine.
If Wu Sheng’s mother were willing, then Han Li would not need to guard against her. They could live together harmoniously and she could bear him a few children.
If Wu Sheng’s mother were unwilling, Han Li would have to force her. After all, he had to achieve his goal, and for this, he could resort to any means necessary, even if he had to crash head-first and bleed for it.
He wasn’t a good person, and neither was Wu Sheng’s mother. Han Li found they were quite well matched.
Lu Tianxiang’s eyes grew colder, and she stared at Han Li, uttering each word distinctly, “Are you serious? You really want to use me as a cauldron for collection and supplementation?”
He wanted to use her to enhance his cultivation and also expected her to willingly serve as his cauldron, to be played with continuously.
To use a Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster as a cauldron for collection and supplementation could, if managed well, provide continuous benefits, given that a Great Grandmaster recovered quickly.
It was possible to hope to advance to the True Martial Realm and achieve immortality through this process, which of course required skillful use of the Collection and Supplement Method and good maintenance of the cauldron, allowing it to recover its cultivation periodically.
After mulling it over, Lu Tianxiang felt she understood his intentions; his heart was truly malicious, utterly sinister.
Han Li shook his head and said indifferently, “You’ve misunderstood; I’m not that kind of person.”
“As Han, I was able to cultivate to my current realm because first, I have good aptitude, second, I’ve diligently cultivated without interruption, and third, I possess uncommon wisdom. I have never resorted to taking advantage of others. ”
Watching Han Li, who spoke with such righteous indignation, Lu Tianxiang wasn’t entirely convinced, but she felt slightly relieved. Since he had said as much, he at least wouldn’t openly take advantage of her.
She’d rather die than become someone’s cauldron for collection and supplementation; such a fate was worse than death.
“Wait a minute!” Suddenly, Lu Tianxiang thought of something and her pupils contracted sharply.
Lu Tianxiang fixed her gaze on Han Li with a complex tone and asked, “Your surname is Han?”
She had just heard him refer to himself as ‘Han someone’, and he had kept saying that she was the one who had troubled him first. Lu Tianxiang thought she might know why he had ambushed her.
Tonight, she had set out to capture a cultivator named Han Li and obtain the Rebirth Pill formula from him.
If this man was indeed Han Li, then everything made sense.
She was out to capture Han Li, which indeed counted as instigating trouble first. Han Li, with his powerful spiritual sense, had detected her presence first and then came to intercept and severely injure her.
She even guessed why Han Li eventually came to rescue her; he probably feared that she would reveal that he had the Rebirth Pill formula, which would draw the attention of the Daqian Empire.
But she still had one doubt in her mind. If this doubt was resolved, then everything would be completely clear.
This man was a Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster, whereas Han Li was merely a newly advanced Gangyuan Realm Great Master. They were many realms apart; could they really be the same person?
If they were indeed the same person, then Han Li was terrifyingly cunning for a Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster disguised as a Pihai Realm cultivator, hiding in minor Lingjun City, and yet frequently taking concubines to tarnish his own reputation.
Either Han Li truly was indifferent to fame and fortune and tired of the Cultivation Realm, or his schemes were grand.
There was another possibility; this ‘Han someone’ might not be the same person as Han Li, but could be his father, his elder, his ancestor…
Was this man really Han Li?
Lu Tianxiang stared intensely at Han Li, eager to know the answer.
Han Li’s eyebrows lifted slightly, and he said with a chuckle, “So you’ve finally realized who I am?”
He had planned to tell Wu Sheng’s mother later, but since she had guessed, Han Li didn’t intend to deny it. Now she was completely within his grasp.
“Impossible!”
Lu Tianxiang’s pupils narrowed, her tone resolute. Her gaze remained fixed on Han Li’s face, as she sought further confirmation of her conjecture.
“Stop pretending. Your little tricks don’t work on me. I can tell you now that you haven’t guessed wrong,” said Han Li lightly.
Lu Tianxiang had guessed his true identity but couldn’t believe it due to the vast gap in their cultivation. She also suspected Han Li of harboring grand ambitions, all of which he saw through with a glance.
After all, it wasn’t his first time experiencing this.
Now Han Li decided to give Lu Tianxiang a jolt to make her submit meekly, to give up any thoughts of resistance or escape.
“To tell you the truth, the only reason I stay in Lingjun City is that I don’t want to get involved in the turbulent affairs of the Cultivation Realm; I just want to live a normal life, take some wives and concubines, and if I can achieve immortality, all the better,” he confessed.
“I’m not ambitious; I never seek out enemies and hope the world is free of
them.”
“Leizhou, Qingzhou, Huozhou are about to descend into chaos; I just want to take my family to a peaceful place. I had no intention of provoking anyone.
Why then do you insist on provoking me?”
Lu Tianxiang’s face was covered in cold laughter, her expression clearly saying, “As if I’d believe you.”
You, a Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster, skulk in a little county town, previously disguised as a Pihai Realm cultivator. Shamelessly so.
Even she, a Myriad Phenomena Realm Great Grandmaster, was capsized in Han Li’s murky waters; over the years, he must have secretly ended countless lives..
