The three factions had just finished scouting, and the formations protecting this palace complex were dissipating; they estimated that in about half an hour, they would be able to enter.

Clearly, there were fortunes to be found within the palace complex, and the three factions were eagerly rubbing their hands together, itching to go in and explore. If they managed to secure this opportunity, they could potentially soar to great heights.

Zhou Huaijun shared all the intelligence with Han Yongchun and then invited him to join in the exploration of the palace ruins in search of these fortunes together.

Everyone knew that opportunity and risk often coexisted, and more often than not, one had to overcome danger to seize an opportunity. This palace complex looked perilous, but Zhou Huaijun was not blinded by the prospect of fortunes.

The head of the Zhou Family had told him that Han Yongchun had some trump cards given by the Han Family ancestor. If Han Yongchun agreed to go together, their chances of making it out alive would be much greater.

After thinking it over, Han Yongchun agreed. He was aware of Zhou Huaijun’s intentions, but he truly wanted to explore. His purpose for leaving home and gaining experience was precisely to search for such opportunities.

Half an hour later, the Zhou Manor and the other two factions entered the central palace complex from different directions.

Chengsheng Mountain.

Han Li received an important piece of news and, exhilarated, he promptly arrived at the main hall of Yundao Peak to meet with Han Yongjin, the one who reported the news.

Seeing his father appear, Han Yongjin’s face lit up with excitement. He immediately said respectfully, “Father, we have found the Rebirth Flowers, and in no small quantity, please have a look.”

Han Yongjin brought out a Space Ring, and, with a thought from Han Li, the Space Ring appeared in his hands. He sent his Spiritual Sense into it and confirmed that there were indeed Rebirth Flowers, enough to refine about one hundred and fifty furnaces’ worth of Rebirth Pills, although they didn’t have as many of the other necessary herbs.

“Yongjin, you’ve done very well with this task, and I am very satisfied. All rewards will be doubled,” Han Li casually put away the Space Ring, looking down at the child dressed in fine clothes, a slight smile on his face.

“Thank you, Father.”

Overjoyed, Han Yongjin immediately expressed his thanks.

As he left the main hall, Han Yongjin’s face was still beaming with happiness, and he clenched his fists tightly, finally having earned his father’s praise.

His mother was one of Han Li’s concubines, taken in Lingjun City. Although Han Yongjin’s aptitude was only Ninth Grade, he was very diligent in his cultivation and proficient at handling tasks. He actively took on the responsibility to find various medicinal herbs and carried out his duties with great dedication.

With the resources of the Han Mansion, he barely managed to cultivate to the Innate Realm, which was already quite satisfying for Han Yongjin. Normally, a cultivator of Ninth-grade aptitude would need to be at least eighty years old to reach the Innate Realm, but he was only in his thirties.

Now that he had completed the task set by his father, he would be rewarded with an abundance of cultivation resources—doubled, in fact—which included pills that aided cultivation in the Innate Realm, some of which could even boost him a minor realm with a single dose. There were also Pihai Pills that could help break through to the Pihai Realm.

With so many resources, it was enough for him to reach the Pihai Realm before the age of fifty, at which point he would have a three hundred year lifespan.

Han Yongjin had grand ambitions. Although his aptitude wasn’t great, he firmly believed that as long as he persisted, his father would see his worth, and effort would yield rewards.

He knew that the Han Mansion was still a fledgling power, not yet a century old. With his father overlooking it, even someone with poor aptitude like himself had a chance to show value and be cultivated.

Since the Han Mansion was not yet populous but was rich in resources, he had the opportunity to acquire many resources for cultivation, allowing him to reach even higher realms.

Watching the retreating figure of Han Yongjin, Han Li smiled. He believed that Han Yongjin was promising, and with further training and evaluation, if he made the cut, he would be rewarded with a Rebirth Pill that could catapult him to new heights.

“I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

As his words fell, Han Li’s figure disappeared from the main hall and reappeared in a field that had been prepared a long time ago.

Han Li activated a cultivation technique suitable for nurturing Spiritual Medicines, the “Spring Rain Transformation Scripture,” and went over the field once more. He then threw in several thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones before planting some Rebirth Flowers into it.

After observing for a quarter of an hour, Han Li keenly sensed that the Rebirth Flowers could be cultivated in this field and proceeded to plant a large number of them.

The Han Mansion had collected many auxiliary materials for refining Rebirth Pills, but the main ingredients, Marrow Cleansing Grass and Fifty Years Fairy Fruit, were only enough to refine sixty furnaces of pills, and the remaining Rebirth Flowers would suffice for roughly a hundred furnaces.

After completing these tasks, Han Li headed to the Pill Refining Pavilion to begin pill refinement.

Since recruiting a Seventh Grade Pill Refining Master some time ago, Han Li’s workload had diminished. He only needed to refine Fourth Grade Spirit Pills himself.

Although he was a Fifth Grade Pill Refining Master, the Han Mansion didn’t have any Fifth Grade pill formulas. It’s hard to cook a meal without rice. However, in just a few more days, the Han Mansion would possess a large number of pill formulas.

The Rebirth Pill was a Fourth Grade pill that could at most raise a cultivator’s aptitude to the Fifth Grade, but only required the skills of a Sixth Grade Pill Refining Master to produce. Since Han Li was already a Fifth Grade Pill Refining Master, he naturally could refine it.

This time, Han Li spent a full two hours refining, producing five furnaces of Rebirth Pills, totaling ten successfully refined pills.

“The instructions on the pill formula were actually true,” Han Li felt somewhat helpless.

He had thought that with his higher alchemy skills, he could produce more Rebirth Pills. Yet, it turned out to be just two pills per furnace.

Thinking about the effects of the Rebirth Pill, a smile reappeared on Han Li’s face.

The cost of the Rebirth Pill wasn’t high; refining a batch only required about two thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, with the main expenses going to Rebirth Flowers, Marrow Cleansing Grass, and Fairy Fruit.

A batch yielding two Rebirth Pills meant that the value of each pill was extremely high, and it could vary depending on the person. One Rebirth Pill for a Ninth-grade aptitude cultivator compared to a Sixth-grade aptitude cultivator was completely different in value.

If he were to sell them, Han Li felt that one Rebirth Pill should be priced at a minimum of five million Lower Grade Spirit Stones, which is fifty thousand Top Quality Spirit Stones.

Tianxuan Mountain couldn’t afford many even if they emptied their coffers, and a power like the Canghai Sect couldn’t buy too many either. He must carefully consider, only administering them to those Sixth-grade aptitude disciples worth cultivating.

As for those cultivators with lower aptitudes who couldn’t afford Rebirth Pills?

These pills were never meant for them in the first place; pills capable of enhancing aptitude were a great opportunity, not something easily obtained.

“Such exorbitant profits,” Han Li sighed. It was truly worthy of being from the hand of a Great Emperor.

A cost of two thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones could sell for tens of millions, and the great powers would still clamor to buy them.

The Rebirth Pill was just a small opportunity that leaked from the hands of that Great Emperor who was suppressed beneath Leizhou. To a Great Emperor or forces of his level, such a pill formula was trivial.

But to Han Li, it was incredibly important. The Han Mansion greatly needed such opportunities to cultivate a large number of Gurus in the Hollow Void Stage.

“If it weren’t so dangerous, I’d really like to go shearing the Great Emperor’s ‘wool,’” Han Li sighed.

Before he had sufficient strength, Han Li didn’t want to appear before such an overwhelmingly powerful being. Who knew what kind of unforeseen danger it could bring?

Although the innumerable great opportunities controlled by the Great Emperor were indeed very tempting.

What Han Li didn’t know was that while he dared not shear the wool, someone else was already planning to do so.

That person was Lu Tianxiang.

Lately, she had been wondering how to cultivate her eldest son, Han Yongzhen. Although Han Yongzhen was still young and several years away from cultivating, Lu Tianxiang was already considering his future.

Although her husband Han Li would strongly support Han Yongzhen’s cultivation, Lu Tianxiang wanted to contribute as well. After much consideration, she realized she only had two things of value to offer.

One was the Living Beings Immortal Transformation Scripture, but since this cultivation technique was incomplete and flawed, Lu Tianxiang didn’t want Han Yongzhen to practice it, as it might pose hidden dangers. Another reason was that it could lead to a struggle for faith.

The other was her knowledge of a sealed Great Emperor.

Lu Tianxiang herself didn’t dare to appear before that Great Emperor again, but her descendants could. If handled well, it might be possible for Han Yongzhen to obtain some opportunities from that Great Emperor.

This was a Great Emperor of the Heaven Imperial Realm who had survived from ancient times. Even a little opportunity leaked from him would be an immense fortune for Han Yongzhen.

If Han Yongzhen succeeded, Lu Tianxiang even planned to send her second child to continue the effort—shearing time and time again.

The Great Emperor might want to come out, even if he knew it would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog. But he would still need to pay a price to entice them.

ps: This time it’s long enough, right?
