Chapter 25: Showcasing Skills on Par with Heaven and Earth, Revisiting the Midwife
The Dao Fruit has transformed once again!
It has obtained the Primordial Technique... Immortal Artistry · Thousand Analyzing Hands!
This was something Li Che had never expected. Pushing the Dao Fruit’s maturity to Level 3 actually brought about such a transformation!
"Primordial Technique..."
Li Che muttered.
With a flicker of his mind, he glanced at his hands. A faint jade-colored mist seemed to emanate from his arms, gushing out from his pores, making his fingers and arms appear as white as jade.
[Primordial Technique (Immortal Artistry · Thousand Analyzing Hands): Absorb Divinity, Nurture Techniques, Immortal Artistry Transformed, Skills Ascend]
The description appeared before his eyes.
Just a glance was enough to make Li Che’s heart tremble with awe.
"Absorb Divinity?!"
"Does it mean to absorb divinity? If this Primordial Technique is activated, can it absorb divinity for my use?"
Divinity... That was a realm he had never been able to touch.
Although his woodcarvings were sent to the Inner City for the disciples of noble families to cultivate their divinity, Li Che had never truly come into contact with divinity.
Gradually calming down, Li Che exhaled, his eyes shining brightly: "Unfortunately, I don’t know what divinity is used for... However, absorbing divinity is just one effect of the Thousand Analyzing Hands. There will be further transformations."
Li Che settled his mind and looked at his arms, which were now enveloped in a golden mist, a smile playing on his lips.
Looking at the "Nine-Headed Guanyin Wrathful Cry Ghost-Suppressing Statue," Li Che raised his hand, placing his palm, which was enveloped in a jade-colored mist, on the woodcarving.
Instantly, it seemed as if jade mist transformed into a flow of light, revealing all the carving techniques and skills of the woodcarving, which were then easily analyzed and controlled by Li Che.
Li Che released his hand, his smile growing even more pronounced: "Thousand Analyzing Hands... can analyze any craftsmanship."
"By touching it, the essence can be analyzed, akin to Knowing Through Investigation, understanding the true nature, and acquiring skills."
To verify his conjecture, he left the workshop and ran to the finished statues outside.
Snow was falling heavily.
A few scattered figures were carefully placing the finished statues.
These were the workers from the shop. Li Che had once been one of them.
"Li Master!"
The workers, seeing Li Che, all showed ingratiating smiles.
"Master, what wood do you need? Just say a word, and we’ll bring it in for you. It’s such a cold day, and you still came out here." One worker, wiping sweat, hurriedly said with a smile.
Li che waved his hand: "No, I just came to take a look."
Saying that, he walked to a finished statue, raised his hand, and covered it. A hazy jade mist emanated from his palm.
Instantly, the carving techniques and processes of the statue appeared in his mind, without the previous limitation of once per day. Now, there was no restriction.
Moreover, he could grasp them more finely, even innovating and improving upon the original techniques.
"Indeed..."
Li Che released his hand, a smile in his heart, his confidence surging. He felt more assured about creating the remaining nine highly difficult mechanisms from the "T ang Family mechanism manual."
"I should find time to update the mechanisms... to give Zhao Chuanxiong an even bigger surprise."
A month passed.
Li Che underwent significant transformation.
His cultivation improved, and so did his Immortal Artistry, and he gained the Primordial Technique [Thousand Analyzing Hands].
It was time to eliminate the potential threat of Zhao Chuanxiong.
Otherwise, Li Che always felt a sword hanging over his head, making him restless and uneasy, always fearing that Xixi would suffer great misfortune.
...
...
In the afternoon.
Xu Beihu arrived as scheduled, draped in a large cloak, his body even more robust.
"Li Master, is the woodcarving complete?"
Xu Beihu’s voice was rough, his eyes sparkling with vitality. Upon entering the woodcarving shop, he immediately sought out Li Che.
Entering the workshop, he saw the statue quietly placed on the workbench, his eyes brightening.
"Good, good, good. Excellent, Li Master’s skills have improved! This Guanyin Wrathful Cry Ghost-Suppressing Statue... is indeed excellent!"
Xu Beihu stared at the Wrathful Cry Ghost-Suppressing Statue, unable to look away.
"Unfortunately, the divinity I cultivate is not 'Wrathful Cry Ghost-Suppressing.' Otherwise, I wouldn't sell this woodcarving to the Shi Family... at least, not without a price increase, hehe he."
Xu Beihu said with a laugh.
"If the Second Manager needs it, you can place an order. Five gold leaves for a business, I’d welcome such deals more often. From then on, I’d be free from worry about food and clothing."
"Hahaha, I have the chance to find you, but... the woodcarvingII need the woodcarving you produce, only a master can do so. We, the Xu Family, have been cultivating our divinity through the inspiration we've gained from the divine woodcarvings, all of which come from the hands of masters. That Si Mu Bai...is just at a critical juncture, so we spread the net wide, not picking, the number of woodcarvings we needed, and thus sought out more, leading us to you."
Xu Beihu explained with a smile.
How could you not be moved by the divine woodcarving, Xu Beihu looked at Li Che with a strange expression, "Master Li, your talent for woodcarving...is truly remarkable, a master's touch, if you work hard on your divinity, the future might offer you the opportunity to become a master woodcarver."
Upon hearing this, Li Che was instantly curious, "Second Manager, do you know the difference between a master woodcarver and an ordinary woodcarver?"
Xu Beihu found Li Che very impressive, but he didn't hide it.
The two of them carried the woodcarving they had prepared on the sedan, Xu Beihu pulled Li Che along into the luxurious carriage.
Inside the carriage, they were boiling water in a boiling kettle.
Xu Beihu poured a cup for Li Che, explaining, "Master woodcarver, it is called so...because the woodcarvings they produce have a divine essence, which can be absorbed."
"The difference, lies in the essence."
"The woodcarvings produced by a master, possess a true essence, and can be absorbed."
"Only this point, is the difference between heaven and earth."
Xu Beihu said this softly.
Li Che, his body slightly trembling, the woodcarving...possesses true essence? "I don't understand, do you know...a newborn child, a combination of human and divine essence, is born with this essence, yet even if it possesses divine essence, how can it be sensed, understood, and even endowed with divinity?"
"Perhaps you are thinking of something, Xu Beihu smiled at Li Che, "Master Li, don't rush, divinity is invaluable, it's the essence of every noble family's heirloom."
"Master Li, although your talent is good, you should be patient,Furthermore...Master Li is too young, you still need more experience and Qualifications, and try cultivating your divinity, then you will have the opportunity to become a master woodcarver."
"But it's just an opportunity."
The carriage passed over the bumpy outer city, soon they arrived at the magnificent city wall.
Because it's a Xu Family carriage, they didn't even need to investigate, entering the bustling inner city.
This is Li Che's first visit to the inner city, magnificent and luxurious buildings, just through the window,you can see all kinds of prosperous scenes.
Compared to the outer city's desolate and difficult living conditions, the inner City is truly a stark contrast.
The Carriage Passed by a wine building, splendidly decorated, with carved beams and painted raft, extremely luxurious.
Inside the wine building, they quickly ran out several apprentices, carrying exquisite woodcarvings behind Xu Beihu and Li Che.
"This Golden Radiance Pavilion, is one of the best buildings in the Inner City, a feast of a hundred Liangs, that Second Family's Son Sees You as Important, too."
"Enthusiastically, they specially set up a banquet here."
Xu Beihu smiled.
They walked past the beautifully carved corridor, where each beam was intricately carved by a master woodcarver, extremely exquisite, pleasing to the eye.
In the distance, there was a four-sided pavilion,similar toa suspended pavilion, with curtains hanging, gently fluttering in the breeze.
Li Che saw from afar, that figure sitting in the pavilion sipping wine, dressed in white.
Beside that white figure, stood an old lady, bowing her head, speaking softly of something.
Li Che's steps suddenly paused.
He looked at the old lady, her face calm and serene, yet gradually becoming stern.
Finally...
Until it was completely frozen, gazing at the old lady's face, which Li Che could only dream of...
A subtle killing aura spread from Li Che's eyes.
It was just because...
This old lady was the one who had given birth to Xixi, killed dozens of times...
Mother, Lea Chunlan!"
