Emperor of Da Qian’s Imperial Capital, residence of the Prime Minister.

The peerless beauty suddenly let out a sigh of relief and relaxed completely.

Before, she had felt the vague sense of being spied upon, a great threat that made her feel a sense of horror, as if it had something to do with the item she had left in Yingyuan Mountain.

If she had reacted according to her past life’s temperament, she would have directly slapped to death such a spying fellow, but that was all in the past.

She had already been reborn and become the legitimate daughter of the current Prime Minister of the Da Qian Dynasty, appearing gentle and frail on ordinary days, endearing and loved, chased by the scions of countless nobles.

In secret, she devoted herself to cultivation, and with the experience from her past life’s cultivation, she had already broken through to the True Martial Realm, but even the True Martial Realm was nothing in the eyes of that observer, so she did not dare to act rashly.

Fortunately, that observer held a high opinion of themselves and disdained to snatch her treasures, otherwise she could only watch helplessly.

The peerless beauty let out a light sigh, feeling a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

The Qian Dynasty was a minor place, its strongest being only at the True

Martial Realm. She had been very low-key, okay? Even advancing to the True Martial Realm, she hadn’t caused a stir, yet she had still encountered a great power.

After her trials in her previous life, her temperament had long since changed, radically different, which was why she could lie low and cultivate in the Imperial Capital of the Da Qian.

As long as she continued her cultivation step by step, she would eventually return to her previous life’s realm, and maybe with the fusion of the fruits of both lives’ cultivation, she might even achieve enlightenment in this lifetime.

The peerless beauty glanced towards Leizhou’s Yingyuan Mountain and then shifted her gaze to the neighboring Huozhou, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

Prince Wu’an Chu Hao, as well as the other schemers of the Da Qian Dynasty, she knew all of their intentions, coveting the peerless treasure she had left from her past life.

“The old fellow from the Imperial Astronomer still has some ability, should I kill him?” the peerless beauty murmured to herself.

Somehow that old man had managed to deduce tidbits of information, causing her some trouble. After thinking it over, the peerless beauty suppressed the urge to act.

With her current strength, she could bulldoze through the Da Qian Dynasty without a problem, but that would expose her and attract the attention of the powerhouses from Xuan Domain and Qianyuan Divine Province.

If word got out to her nemeses from her past life, that would really spell big trouble, which was why the peerless beauty was extremely cautious in this life.

“Hmph- Soon, when I take that thing in advance, all you people will inevitably return empty-handed.”

The peerless beauty talked to herself and then picked up her needle and thread, continuing her embroidery, as though she truly was a fragile and genteel young lady of a noble family.

Fengyang Manor, Xiu Mountain.

Han Li stood on the mountain peak with his hands behind his back, his brocade clothes flowing, exuding an air of leisurely sophistication.

Down on the mountain rivers, fishermen rowed at sunset, singing in call and response, their boats pushing out golden ripples one after another; they found joy in it.

Little did they know that to Han Li, they were also part of the scenery, the whole Xiu Mountain area forming a beautiful tableau in his eyes.

Han Li, enjoying the view from the mountain peak, did not notice that someone was watching him from tens of thousands of miles away in the sky.

After achieving the goal of clearing his mind and taking a break, Han Li stepped out and returned to the back courtyard of Han Mansion.

Not long after, Lin Yiwu and Lin Yiyin, the sisters, came over, both sporting little bellies.

Thanks to Han Li’s diligent sowing, both women had finally conceived their second children, and in another half a year, they would give birth to their second offspring.

“My lord, why are you hiding here? The sisters have all been looking for you,” they said.

Lin Yiyin hurried over, wrapped her arms around Han Li’s arm, and nuzzled up to him as she spoke in a sweet voice.

“Husband-” Lin Yiwu approached from the other side and embraced Han Li’s right arm in the same manner.

“What do you need me for?”

Looking at the two stunning faces that were within reach, Han Li kissed each one before standing up, wrapped an arm around each, and left the chess institute.

Before anyone knew it, a year had gone by.

Han Li still led a celestially tranquil life in Lingjun City, with no one disturbing his peace; a small place like Lingjun City did not catch the attention of the major forces.

But there were exceptions. There were three parties that paid considerable attention to Han Mansion in Lingjun City, namely the Sect Leader of Tianxuan

Mountain, Yun Miaoyi of the Yinyang Sect, and Jiang Baiye of the Canghai Sect.

Gongsun Yun designated Han Li as the inheritor of his legacy and protected Han Li’s information well, keeping Han Li’s true cultivation level hidden. Nobody knew that Han Li was the powerful expert concealed within Tianxuan Mountain.

More than two years had passed since the last incident, and seeing that Han Li remained tucked away in Lingjun City, Gongsun Yun finally let down his guard.

Although Han Li still took concubines frequently, living a life of pleasure, as long as it did not hinder his cultivation or lead him to act recklessly, Gongsun Yun was satisfied.

Yun Miaoyi, located far away in the Yinyang Sect, would occasionally purchase information on Han Li. Upon learning that this powerful expert still hid in Lingjun City, indulging in taking numerous concubines, she felt somewhat frustrated and restless.

Following the incident with the Body-Cultivating Furnace, Yun Miaoyi realized that Han Li was, in fact, a “Senior Brother Six,” a real person in at least the mid-stage of the God Refining Realm, hiding away in a small county town, which was exceedingly low-profile.

In places like Leizhou, most God Refining Realm experts were either affiliated with one of the four major sects or congregated in the Province City. Almost none stayed in manor cities.

A God Refining Realm expert needing to improve further could only acquire the necessary cultivation resources at the four major sects or in the Province City.

After escaping Han Li’s devilish grasp and returning to the Yinyang Sect, Yun Miaoyi behaved very appropriately, focusing solely on her cultivation.

However, a shadow remained in her heart, and that shadow was Han Li.

The last time she fell into Han Li’s hands, he had done too many excessive things to her. This “Senior Brother Six” stole her first kiss, toyed with her jade-like feet, made her wet, and even breathed into her ear… finding ways to frivolously tease her. Most importantly, Han Li had even recorded those moments.

Yun Miaoyi was so resentful she itched for revenge, keen on taking back the Shadow Leaving Stone. Yet, she dared not make a move, as she had sworn an oath by her Daoist heart not to trouble Han Li by any means, including exposing his cultivation level.

Otherwise, she would generate a heart devil, significantly decreasing her chances of advancing to the Hollow Void Stage, let alone reaching the Myriad Phenomena Realm. For the sake of her future, Yun Miaoyi endured.

But she always remembered, waiting for the day she would break through to the Hollow Void Stage and even to the Myriad Phenomena Realm. At that time, the oath would shatter on its own, and she could settle the score with Han Li.

Over the past two years, she had come up with ninety-nine ways to humble Han Li. He liked to tease her, didn’t he? Well, he would get his dues!

Jiang Baiye’s mentality was quite similar to Yun Miaoyi’s.

She also paid close attention to information about Han Li, and each time she remembered how Han Li had wantonly toyed with her, the pure and chaste Sword Immortal, her heart felt deeply unsettled. Over time, she developed a peculiar feeling towards Han Li.

Jiang Baiye went to great lengths to keep the news of Han Li possessing the Supreme Body Nourishing Furnace a secret, even prompting the Canghai Sect to stop their investigation.

She had promised her mentor and father figure, Jian Ziyun, that she would definitely bring the Supreme Body Nourishing Furnace back to her sect in fifty years, but she was currently helpless.

After much contemplation, Jian Ziyun chose to trust Jiang Baiye and had no choice but to do so.

It could be said that Jiang Baiye was the most outstanding disciple of the Canghai Sect. Though there were two ahead of her in terms of cultivation, in terms of talent, they fell short of Jiang Baiye.

As the future Sect Leader, it was Jiang Baiye’s inescapable duty to retrieve the sect’s precious Body-Cultivating Furnace.

After a long and private discussion with the Canghai Sect Leader, the Sect Leader ultimately agreed..
