As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 685: Chapter 231 Dao Fruit Third Transformation Dragon Elephant Combined Form, Peaceful Princess Faces Xi Xi [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_3

Gradually…

A True Gang much stronger than Long Tai’s Innate True Gang slowly flowed out.

Li Che raised his hand, and the Innate True Gang moved between his fingers like an electric current rampaging wildly!

At times it transformed into a dragon, at times changed into an elephant, and at times, it was like electricity!

…

…

After five days, five days of settling down.

Li Che finally achieved the Third Transformation of the Dao Fruit, making significant progress that gave a substantial boost to his Martial Cultivation.

He reined in his aura and floated down to the ground.

The heat dissipated, the snow returned to its place, gently falling, covering everything with a thick layer.

The Fruit of the Heavenly Dao from Within the Painting resonated, and Li Che summoned multiple Immortal Avatars from within the painting, each receiving a Six Ministries Divinity Crystal from Li Che and going off to cultivate their Temple God Avatars.

Then, he went on to refine the mechanism parts required by the Blood-Yang Nine-God Vajra Ape, embedding Mechanism Seals within, refining the precision and so on.

On the other hand, he also had the Immortal Avatars study the newly acquired “Mysterious Talisman Divine Sect Talisman Book” to learn the Way of Divine Talismans.

Snow fell in silence, without a sound.

Landing on Qiu Ping, it made a gentle noise.

Li Che felt that life was busy yet fulfilling.

The light slowly sank into oblivion, and the cool radiance that seeped out from behind the leaden clouds gradually dimmed.

Li Che knew that night was approaching.

He stretched lazily, rejuvenated and refreshed from the breakthrough in cultivation.

Leaving the independent workshop, he followed the bluestone path of Thunder Alley blanketed with thick snow and arrived in front of a restaurant emitting a dim yellow light.

The Big Black Dog was, as always, loyally lying at the entrance of the store.

The black and glossy fur shimmered under the orange-yellow light.

Glancing at Li Che, and seeing that he was alone, the Big Black Dog snorted through its nose and turned its head away.

After Li Che had the restaurant pack up the food he had reserved and chatted idly with the owner for a bit.

Not having brought Xi Xi, the owner didn’t seem interested in him.

Li Che didn’t mind. After leaving a Gold Leaf, he turned and left.

Before leaving, Li Che approached the Big Black Dog and then suddenly reached out to give the dog head a furious stroke.

After the petting, he immediately grasped the Flying Thunder Chess Piece and disappeared from the spot.

“Woof——!!!”

The explosive bark sounded, causing the layer upon layer of snow to shatter and melt.

The Big Black Dog got up from the ground, paws pattering on the floor, hitting full stride, but couldn’t find Li Che anywhere.

Annoyed, the Big Black Dog kept baring its teeth!

Li Che returned to his home in Liuxiang Lane.

The pristine snow fell from the sky, then was dispersed by Qi-Blood.

Zhang Ya was practicing martial arts earnestly in the courtyard. After the Blood Exchange, she trained even more diligently because Xi Xi was so sensible, Zhang Ya felt as a mother she should also be more proactive.

Only by becoming stronger could she accompany her husband and daughter for a longer time.

Old Chen had gone to work, Nurse Momo was sitting under the eaves on the rocking chair that Li Che had made for her, covered with a thick blanket, a charcoal stove burning beside her, emitting warmth.

Everything seemed quite cozy.

After Li Che returned, he joined Zhang Ya in practicing martial arts for a while, giving her some simple pointers.

Then, footsteps came from outside.

The soft snow-covered ground made a crunching sound underfoot.

The visitor was a young man wearing a grey robe.

Through Li Che’s perception using the Heaven and Earth chessboard, the young man’s strength seemed average, merely a Divine Minister-level.

“May I ask if this is the residence of Master Li Che?”

The young man knocked on the door and said.

Li Che asked Zhang Ya to continue practicing while he went out to meet the visitor, asking curiously, “Who might you be?”

“I am a Wood Carver from the Divine Carving Ridge of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect. Grand Elder Jiao Shaoqiu has recommended you. I have been instructed by my teacher to inform you that the Elder assessment of the Divine Carving Ridge is about to begin.”

Li Che’s eyes suddenly brightened upon hearing this.

The Elder assessment of the Divine Carving Ridge?

It was finally starting!

Li Che warmly received the young man, causing him a bit of astonishment; after all, to the young man, Li Che’s happiness seemed unwarranted, considering Li Che’s age and experience, participating in this elder assessment… was purely for joining in.

“Here is the letter of invitation. Tomorrow, Divine Carving Ridge will gather many Woodcarving Masters in front of the Divine Sect Mountain Gate, and we will leave together, so Master Li should not be late.”

The young man handed over to Li Che a letter sealed with red wax.

After taking it, Li Che thanked him.

The young man didn’t linger, stating that he still had to deliver letters to other Woodcarving Masters before departing into the snowy path.

Zhang Ya came over, her long eyelashes trembling.

“My lord… If you become an elder of Divine Carving Ridge, does that mean we can move to live inside the Divine Sect?”

Zhang Ya asked.

Li Che nodded.

Her eyes lit up, but soon her brows furrowed: “But I’ve heard that the elder assessment of Divine Carving Ridge is extremely difficult… Are you sure you can do it, my lord?”

Li Che couldn’t help but laugh at this.

Wrapping his arm around Zhang Ya, he lifted her up: “My little imp, do you really not know whether your husband can do it?”

Zhang Ya immediately blushed, playfully punching Li Che a few times: “Nurse Momo is right there!”

…

…

Don’t say, Li Che did indeed place great importance on the Elder assessment of Divine Carving Ridge.

Not only because he could move to reside within the Divine Sect upon becoming an Elder of Divine Carving Ridge, but also because… Divine Carving Ridge certainly had the resources he needed.

Although Li Che knew that the competition for this position of a Divine Sect elder was fierce, and the assessment would be beyond imagination.

However, Li Che really wasn’t afraid at the moment.

The confidence brought about by the improvement of the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, along with his own cultivation breakthrough, had led to an improvement in his Wood Carving prowess.

Li Che was full of confidence.

The following day.

Dawn.

The temperature rose slightly, and the previously gently falling snow now began to melt, turning into a drizzle mixed with a few snowflakes.
