Chapter 151: Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, Level 4 Transformation, Divine Crane Ridge, Tang Clan's Angel
Chapter 151: Immortal Craft Dao Fruit, Level 4 Transformation, Divine Crane Ridge, Tang Clan's Angel Investment [Seeking Monthly Votes] (Part 1)
Snowflakes drifted in the sky.
In the courtyard, silence prevailed, disturbed only by the soft rustling of pure snowflakes falling and brushing against the ground.
Li Che exhaled.
In his hand, he tightly held a Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal, the only one he had.
His Temple Divine Chess Piece was exhausted, and without its empowerment, the Tower Ascension State's power would be greatly diminished.
Without the Temple Divine Chess Piece, he felt insecure...
It had been half a year since he entered the Golden Divine Temple.
Moreover, he couldn't use the Heavenly King Divine Chess Piece every time he activated the Tower Ascension State, could he?
So, Li Che was quite eager to visit the Fire Eye Mystic Shock Spirit Ape Strange Temple.
But before that, he needed to convert all his resources into enhancing his own strength.
Holding the Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal.
Li Che slowly closed his eyes.
In his chest, the Dao Fruit, Pure Heart, began to throb, and a mighty suction force erupted from within.
It felt just like the first time he had absorbed the pale white divine essence from the Eight Apex Divine Essence Crystal.
That... was like the refreshing sensation of drinking a cold Sprite on a hot summer day!
Rumble—
As if a faint rumbling sound echoed within his Niwan Palace.
The flawless divine essence contained within the Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal was immense, like a bursting dam, pouring out torrents of water.
It surged into Li Che's Niwan Palace, flowing into the Pure Heart Divine Foundation.
Li Che even had the illusion that he was swelling, as if his body was bloated by the abundant divine essence.
And after a long time, the Pure Heart Dao Fruit, which had been slow to improve after reaching level 3, began to accelerate its progress.
The rate of improvement was increasing!
Li Che focused his mind, devoting himself entirely to the refinement of the Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal.
2%... 2%... 2%...
In just two or three breaths, the maturity would increase by 2%, and this speed gave him a soaring feeling!
Exhilarating!
This was the feeling!
It was intoxicating!
Li Che's eyes sparkled, and his Niwan Palace glowed!
The Pure Heart Divine Foundation was rapidly expanding, and his energy was continuously rising!
Even the Seven Emotions Divine Foundation seemed to vibrate slightly, rejoicing and eager to share in the benefits.
"Huff—"
"Huff—"
With each breath, the exhaled air seemed to form a hazy mist.
The rapid improvement was always fleeting.
His eyes opened and closed, and a faint light flashed through his pupils.
Dao Fruit: Pure Heart (Lv. 3, 39%)
The Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal was quickly drained, turning into a transparent crystal that rested quietly in Li Che's palm.
"It increased maturity by 30%, a bit lower than I imagined, but I still feel the Pure Heart Dao Fruit's potential..."
"The next Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal should provide another boost."
Li Che closed his eyes, sensing his state.
The Pure Heart Divine Foundation had reached the level of the Divine Foundation Advanced Realm.
The balance and lubrication effect on the Seven Emotions Divine Foundation became even more pronounced.
The coordination between the divine essences of the Seven Emotions Divine Foundation had also reached a level of ease.
"However, it won't be easy to forge seven Divine Appearances with the Seven Emotions Divine Foundation..."
"Li Qingshan's forging of the Divine Appearance was so grand. If I were to forge seven Divine Appearances, the impact would undoubtedly be even greater."
Li Che furrowed his brows, worrying about how he would handle the situation when he broke through to the Divine Appearance Realm.
Moreover, once his Seven Emotions Divine Foundation was exposed, it might attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
The danger would intensify.
Li Che's usually cautious nature would not allow such a situation.
"It seems that when the time comes, I'll have to find a remote and uninhabited area to break through."
Li Che sighed as he collected the remnants of the Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystal.
"If only I had a few more Seven Yuan Divine Essence Crystals..."
"Isn't the Sect Master planning to hire the Ox Demon and Horse Face to assassinate Su Huanli? Why haven't they made a move yet?" Li Che couldn't help but mutter.
He stretched lazily and tore open the Qiankun Space, taking out one Eight Apex Divine Essence Crystal after another, and handing them to the seven perfectly carved Divine Immortals.
He wanted them to refine the Eight Apex Divine Essence Crystals to cultivate their Seven Emotions Divine Foundation.
After encouraging them, he also used the resources for the Bodhimanda Lotus Main Battle Tank.
Li Che collected the divine essence woodcarvings and headed towards the Heaven Foretelling Bureau's Treasure Tower.
Snowflakes fell on the long street, creating an unprecedented tranquility.
Li Che wore a straw hat and an ink robe as he walked down the street.
Passing by the riverbank, a gentle breeze seemed to brush the surface, causing ripples from time to time.
The falling snow landed on the water, spun slightly, and then melted, sinking into the river.
The spring snow in the clear sky was like a cleansing wash, suddenly reminding him of the famous poem, "A lone fisherman in a straw hat, fishing alone in the cold river snow."
The river snow scene had a unique charm.
Unfortunately, the Nine Dragon River did not freeze.
If it did, he could truly experience the loneliness of "A lone fisherman in a straw hat, fishing alone in the cold river snow."
Arriving at the Heaven Foretelling Bureau, Li Che handed over the wooden carvings to Shangguan Qinghong and asked her to deliver them. He then planned to head to the workshop.
"Che Ge, wait, your Third-Rank Guest Scholar assessment, has been approved. The Heaven Foretelling Bureau's Dao City has dispatched personnel, and they should arrive in about half a month. You should prepare well."
Shangguan Qinghong explained.
"Also, Gong Yunli is looking for you. She said that by the Inspector's order, she's taking you to visit Divine Crane Ridge today."
Li Che's steps halted.
"Divine Crane Ridge?"
"Yes, Divine Crane Ridge... Most of the Spirit Wood resources come from Divine Crane Ridge. Che Ge, if you need higher-quality Spirit Wood in the future, you'll have to go to Divine Crane Ridge to find it."
Shangguan Qinghong smiled as she cracked a watermelon seed.
Li Che was about to ask more about Divine Crane Ridge.
Gong Yunli, rarely seen, arrived, dressed elegantly, with a light touch of makeup, a broad chest, and hands clasped behind her back.
"Li Guest Scholar, let's go."
Gong Yunli said.
The two left the Heaven Foretelling Bureau, and a luxurious carriage awaited them outside.
The carriage bore the Gong family's emblem, one of the five great clans of the city.
Li Che stepped into the carriage, marveling at the spacious and comfortable interior, and couldn't help but marvel at the extravagance of these clans.
Gong Yunli also entered the carriage, sitting across from Li Che, and began to boil water for tea.
After they boarded, the coachman immediately set the carriage in motion.
The horses neighed, their hooves clattering on the cobblestones, creating an echoing rhythm.
"Divine Crane Ridge is quite far from Jin Guang Prefecture... It'll take some time to get there." Gong Yunli poured tea and handed a cup to Li Che.
She sipped her tea delicately.
"Gong Guest Scholar, is Divine Crane Ridge... also considered a city faction?"
Li Che took a sip of tea, curious.
Before, I knew little, but now that I'm about to enter Divine Crane Ridge, I should do some research in advance.
"Divine Crane Ridge, actually belongs to the Divine Sect... The Divine City has the Divine Crane Ridge, and each state's branch sect has its own Divine Crane Ridge."
"Divine Crane Ridge is mostly located near the Divine Sect's main mountain gate. The Yun Prefecture branch of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect is in Jin Guang Prefecture, so naturally, Divine Crane Ridge is also located in Jin Guang Prefecture."
"Strictly speaking, it belongs to the Divine Sect's influence."
"But, in most cases, the major powers in the prefecture city will consider it an independent force."
Gong Yunli spoke softly.
"An independent force?"
Li Che narrowed his eyes.
Gong Yunli nodded slightly and gently hummed in agreement, "Divine Crane Ridge... is more like a gathering place for master woodcarvers."
"The Divine Sect's inner disciples require divine cranes for cultivation, and they all come from Divine Crane Ridge."
"Divine Crane Ridge has a dedicated team of master woodcarvers."
Gong Yunli took a sip of tea and looked out the carriage window at the scenery.
"Are they like the guest advisors of the Heaven Foretelling Bureau's master woodcarvers?" Li Che's eyebrows rose.
Gong Yunli's long eyelashes trembled as she glanced at Li Che and shook her head, "Of course not. The guest advisors of the Heaven Foretelling Bureau can be master woodcarvers, or weapon forging masters, and so on..."
"And they don't restrict identity. The master woodcarvers of Divine Crane Ridge, a minority of them, have passed the assessment for the third-rank guest advisor position in the Heaven Foretelling Bureau."
"And the master of Divine Crane Ridge... is our first-rank guest advisor of the Heaven Foretelling Bureau."
After Gong Yunli finished speaking, Li Che couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"A first-rank guest advisor?"
Li Che was well aware of the requirements for a first-rank guest advisor, and it wasn't easy.
Third-rank guest advisors could pass with a Nine Stars master woodcarver level.
Second-rank might require the skill of an Eight Extremes master.
A first-rank guest advisor would need to be able to carve a Seven Elements divine woodcarving!
Li Che couldn't help but think of the Seven Elements divine statue that Li Qingshan had observed in his divine manifestation.
Most likely, it was the work of this first-rank guest advisor of Divine Crane Ridge.
"That master... is special. When you meet him, be respectful."
Gong Yunli instructed.
Li Che nodded repeatedly, thinking of the Seven Elements master woodcarver.
Li Che naturally had to put on a good attitude, as he himself might not be able to carve a Seven Elements divine crane, but Xi Xi's cultivation might require one.
Therefore, for the sake of his daughter's cultivation resources, Li Che had to put on a bright smile.
"By the way, the master of Divine Crane Ridge... his surname is Tang."
Gong Yunli thought of something and introduced him to Li Che.
"Skilled in mechanism techniques."
...
...
After leaving the prefecture city, the carriage sped along the official road.
The coachman constantly waved the reins, and the horse ran faster and faster.
These horses might have some demonic bloodline, as they were fast and had great endurance...
After about an hour.
The carriage finally arrived at its destination, racing into a small town.
They reached a mansion in the center of the town that occupied a vast area.
"We're here."
"This is the Divine Crane Town under Divine Crane Ridge."
"Every Divine Crane Ridge has such a small town. Here, you can find master woodcarvers to order divine woodcarvings, or buy spirit wood, and so on..."
"The Five Great Clans, the Five Great Sects, the Jin Guang branch sect, the Temple Guardian Corps, the Heaven Foretelling Bureau, and the City Lord's Mansion all have a presence here."
Gong Yunli introduced.
As they reached the mansion's gate, Gong Yunli took out a letter of introduction and was led inside.
Li Che followed Gong Yunli, strolling along the corridor filled with the various scents of wood, and looking ahead, he could see the endless white mountain ridges covered in thick snow.
The mountain ridges resembled a sleeping dragon, coiled between heaven and earth.
After walking for a while, they passed through the workshop area, where countless workshops stood side by side, and Li Che also saw many porters working in the snow, shirtless and exhaling hot air as they carefully carried woodcarvings.
Li Che couldn't help but take a few more glances, and his eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence.
"What are you looking at?" Gong Yunli, with her face slightly red from the winter snow, looked at the standing Li Che with curiosity.
Following Li Che's gaze, she saw the shirtless porters carrying wood.
These porters had shallow cultivation, mostly at the level of Muscle Tempering or Sinew Strengthening Warriors.
"Young Supervisor Gong, you don't know..."
"I used to be a porter in a woodcarving shop, carrying woodcarvings and wood on my shoulders, supporting my family."
Li Che said with a smile.
"Seeing such a familiar scene, I can't help but feel a mix of emotions."
After Li Che finished speaking, Gong Yunli's eyes trembled slightly.
A porter from a humble background.
Becoming a third-rank guest advisor of the Heaven Foretelling Bureau...
It was indeed very impressive.
Gong Yunli couldn't help but admire him in her heart.
Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew, and Li Che's heart skipped a beat. The Dao Fruit of the Chess Sage within his chest trembled with a strong warning.
Under his ink-colored robe, his muscles and bones resonated, and his tendons twitched.
A master!
A great master!
Li Che turned his head sharply and caught a glimpse of a figure.
Just standing in the corridor, his aura was as heavy as a giant mountain, and within his body, countless roaring angry dragons were hidden.
cultivation was strong sexual desires!
Gong Yunli bowed slightly, "Gong Yunli, Junior Supervisor of the Heaven Foretelling Bureau, greets Master Tang."
Li Che turned around and looked at the sturdy old man who had appeared behind him.
Very sturdy, even comparable to Li Che's physique after activating the Dragon Elephant Vajra.
With curly black beard and piercing eyes, his body was full of muscles like twisted steel, constantly emitting a scorching and explosive aura.
The master of Divine Crane Ridge, Tang Sanjia!
Li Che clenched his fists in respect, meeting the elderly man who seemed more vigorous than old.
The old man looked down at Li Che, and his slightly narrowed eyes revealed a hint of inquiry and curiosity.
"Are you the genius divine crane master Li Qingshan spoke of?"
"I heard you have some understanding and research in mechanism techniques?"
Tang Sanjia said lightly, but his voice echoed like a deep bell.
Li Che's eyes narrowed, "Senior Li Qingshan is too kind. I'm not a genius, just someone with some insights."
Li Qingshan had mentioned bringing him to Divine Crane Ridge before, but it was delayed due to Li Che's own breakthrough in divine manifestation.
But clearly, Li Qingshan had mentioned Li Che to this master of Divine Crane Ridge.
Tang Sanjia's eyes were sharp like an eagle's, and he scrutinized Li Che, and a flash of curiosity passed through his eyes.
