Many children bring many blessings; my offspring are scattered throughout the myriad realms.

Three days later.

The Listening to Rain Pavilion was always bustling with visitors.

In just a short while, all the prominent figures in Qingzhu Town arrived.

Ye Hao was incredibly wealthy, and the banquet he hosted was extremely extravagant, featuring all sorts of delicacies.

"The Gongsun family presents a pair of jade ruyi scepters to congratulate Senior Ye on breaking through to the Innate Realm and achieving great things!"

"The Zhao family presents a thousand-year-old ginseng as a congratulatory gift to Senior Ye on his breakthrough to the Innate Realm, wishing him a long and healthy life!"

"The Gou family presents a magnificent Akhal-Teke horse to congratulate Senior Ye on breaking through to the Innate Realm and soaring to new heights!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard that the Gou family had also come to the banquet.

"Gou Lie is really flexible; even after his son was kidnapped, he's still rushing to give gifts!"

"What else can we do? Senior Ye is now the most powerful person in Qingzhu Town. If we don't offer gifts and apologize, are we just waiting for Senior Ye to come knocking on our door and settle scores?"

"That's true. It's one thing for that brat Gou Xing to harm ordinary families, but he actually dared to make a move on Madam Ye. That's like lighting a lamp in a latrine!"

Gou Lie, who was not far away, heard these comments and was so angry that he felt like his lungs were about to explode.

"These bastards are truly despicable! Once our ancestor breaks through to the Innate Realm, I'll make you all pay with your lives for my son!"

Ye Hao simply smiled at the crowd's comments.

He even ignored Gou Lie's resentful gaze.

Although he has no power or background, he has his mother, so why would he be afraid of these small fry?

"Hey, whose daughter is that?"

At that moment, a pretty figure came into Ye Hao's view.

The girl looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old. She was pale and sickly, and one glance at her would make you feel sorry for her.

"A pair of eyes that seemed to hold both joy and sorrow, a hint of melancholy on her cheeks, a delicate frailty about her, stillness like a beautiful flower reflected in water, movement like a willow swaying in the breeze—isn't this Lin Daiyu?"

When Ye Hao saw the woman's face clearly, his eyes lit up.

Name: Gongsun Yu

Age: 18

Rating: 87

Root Bone: High-grade Mortal

Cultivation level: None

Condition: Sepsis

Mood: I really envy Senior Ye! Unlike me, I have the talent but can't practice martial arts!

Sensing Ye Hao's gaze, the head of the Gongsun family immediately pulled the woman to her feet and said, "Senior Ye, this is my daughter, Gongsun Yu!"

"This junior pays respects to Senior Ye!"

Gongsun Yu timidly bowed to Ye Hao.

"I observe that your daughter is weak in both qi and blood; could she be suffering from some illness?"

Ye Hao asked the question knowing the answer already.

"My daughter has suffered from sepsis since childhood. I have sought out many renowned doctors over the years, but still... I fear she will not live past twenty!"

Gongsun Ping sighed helplessly.

"Gongsun Yu, come forward!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao immediately waved to Gongsun Yu.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Ping trembled with excitement and quickly gave his daughter a meaningful look.

He went to great lengths to bring his daughter out today, hoping to get in touch with Ye Hao and have him treat her.

A renowned doctor once told him that only a master of innate wisdom could use their true energy to help his daughter regulate her meridians and cure her illness.

"yes!"

Gongsun Yu understood her father's feelings, so she obediently came to Ye Hao's side.

"Take this!"

Ye Hao didn't examine Gongsun Yu's body or anything; instead, he simply handed her a Rejuvenation Pill.

"Thank you so much for your kind guidance, senior!"

Gongsun Yu took the pill and swallowed it.

Since she wouldn't live past twenty anyway, we might as well try anything, no matter how desperate the situation.

Then something shocking happened.

Gongsun Yu's entire body turned red, and his blood and qi circulated on their own.

Having never practiced martial arts before, she actually broke through to the first rank of the Acquired Realm, then the second rank, and finally stopped at the third rank.

"This...this is simply a miracle!"

Everyone who witnessed this miracle stood up.

"Could it be that Senior Ye gave this girl some kind of magic pill?"

"It must be. Although Gongsun Yu has top-grade martial arts aptitude, she is physically weak and has only been well-versed in classical texts, never having practiced martial arts. Only elixirs can explain all of this!"

"I really envy that girl!"

While everyone was discussing this, Gongsun Ping had already pulled his daughter down to kneel.

"Thank you, Senior Ye, for saving my daughter!"

"This junior is grateful for your kindness in giving me life!"

Gongsun Yu has not only recovered from his septicemia, but has also gained the cultivation level of the third rank of the Acquired Realm.

With her talent, as long as she can grow up smoothly, she will definitely become a master of innate level, and she might even be able to hope for the more powerful Grandmaster level.

"Don't thank me yet. This elixir wasn't easy to obtain; I'm not giving it away for free!"

"Your Excellency has shown me the kindness of a second life; whatever your request may be, I will never refuse!"

Gongsun Yugang, having just been given a new lease on life, was in a state of excitement and filled with gratitude towards Ye Hao, appearing ready to die for him.

"What if I asked you to marry me?"

Ye Hao said calmly.

Instantly, you could hear a pin drop.

"I agree to this marriage!"

Before Gongsun Yu could even speak, Gongsun Ping had already agreed on her behalf.

Ye Hao broke through to the Innate Realm, and his lifespan could reach 150 years, or even longer.

Whether considering the interests of the family or Gongsun Yu's happiness, this is a win-win situation.

"This junior will obey Father's arrangements!"

Gongsun Yu was only momentarily distracted before responding immediately.

Without Ye Hao's gift of the pill, she would only have two years to live at most, and she might have to spend those two years in bed.

Such a life-saving grace is more than enough to repay with one's own body.

And that's how things were settled.

The wedding was set for three days from now.

After the banquet, the news quickly spread throughout Qingzhu Town.

Then, everyone was dumbfounded.

"What's wrong with Master Ye? He's only been married a few days and he's already taking a concubine. How can he manage?"

"You don't know this, do you? Master Ye has already broken through to the Innate Realm. He can live to be almost two hundred years old. Haven't you noticed he's gotten younger?"

"That's right, I heard he even went to Wang Po to find a partner a few days ago!"

These discussions quickly reached the ears of the Gou and Zhao families.

"Hmm? So, does that mean there's still a chance for our family?"

After hearing that Ye Hao had consulted Wang Po, Zhao Youjing of the Zhao family immediately became interested.

Previously, Ye Hao lived in seclusion at Tingyuxuan and never participated in the struggles of Qingzhu Town, so Qingzhu Town was the domain of the three families.

Now that Ye Hao has broken through to the Innate Realm and become the son-in-law of the Gongsun family, this balance has been broken.

If the Zhao family doesn't take action soon, the town of Qingzhu may very well fall into the Gongsun family's hands.

"Someone, bring the young lady back to me right now!"

Meanwhile, Gou Lie, upon hearing the news, also began to have wicked thoughts.

"You like taking concubines? Then there's room for maneuver!"

After Gou Lie finished speaking, he immediately wrote a letter and handed it to the person he trusted.

"Deliver the letter to Yan Family Fortress in White Stone City and give it to Miss!"

"yes!"

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

That day, Tingyuxuan became lively again.

As soon as each family finished sending their gifts, they had to prepare another set, but no one complained.

Who can blame Ye Hao for being the only one of his kind in Qingzhu Town!

"My wife, you're not unhappy that I'm taking a concubine so soon, are you?"

In the backyard, Ye Hao held Luo Ning's slender waist and gently stroked her abdomen, feeling her abdomen.

As a master of innate cultivation, he was already able to sense the life force, and he needed to determine whether Luo Ning was pregnant.

"It would be better to marry a few more, otherwise these women won't be able to keep their slim waists!"

Luo Ning looked coquettish.

She never dreamed that Ye Hao, an old man in his seventies, would have so much energy.

He stayed home these past few days and almost ruined himself.

"You said it yourself, so don't get jealous later!"

"Alright, alright, I'm not jealous. You hurry up and go greet the bride, don't keep Yu-mei waiting!"

As they were talking, Luo Ning had already pushed Ye Hao out.
