Chapter 48: Bodhimanda Blood Tears, Wrathful Buddha
Chapter 48: Bodhimanda Blood Tears, Wrathful Buddha
"Si Mu Bai... is severely injured."
Li Che muttered to himself, his heart stirring with anticipation. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if he could find and kill Si Mu Bai, who had been obsessed with turning Xi Xi into a Spirit Child, it would bring him peace of mind.
It could be said that the feud between Li Che and Si Mu Bai was one of life and death.
If he could find a chance to eliminate Si Mu Bai, Li Che would not hesitate for a moment.
"A Divine Cultivator... I heard only a Vessel Warrior can rival them. Now that I've unlocked the second form of Dragon Elephant Vajra, I wonder if I can fight against one?"
"What if... could a hundred Wooden Ravens bombing in turns kill him?"
"However, the most dangerous aspect of a Divine Cultivator is their mysterious means. The reason why only a Vessel Warrior can compete is that their Vital Energy flows through the six harmonies, and with a firm will, they can close off their Six Senses, thus avoiding the influence of Divinity."
Li Che shook his head slightly.
Killing Si Mu Bai... would be extremely difficult.
After all, Si Mu Bai was from the Si family, a prominent clan in Thunderbolt City. Even though he was severely injured, his security was still top-notch.
Moreover, to kill Si Mu Bai, one would have to infiltrate the Si family's inner sanctum...
"That's too dangerous."
"The Si family in the Inner City has an Elder Si, a Divine Foundation Cultivator, guarding it... I fear I might not return if I go there."
Li Che suppressed his stirring emotions.
A Divine Foundation Cultivator... he couldn't afford to provoke them; they were not on the same level!
Li Che wasn't in a hurry. Xu You mentioned that Si Mu Bai's Divinity was almost scattered, and it would take at least a year or two to recover.
During this time, while improving his own strength, Li Che could find opportunities to strike.
Now that Li Che had mastered the Blood Exchange Technique, if he could formally step into Blood Exchange...
His chances of success would be even greater.
...
...
After a night of commotion, Xuji Woodcarving Shop returned to its usual routine.
The woodcarvers started taking on new projects, and the laborers worked tirelessly, moving timber and finished wood carvings to earn their living.
As usual, Li Che carved, practiced martial arts, and secretly studied the intricate mechanisms.
Of course, Li Che also kept his promise; he would finish work early every day and return to the courtyard to teach Zhang Ya martial arts.
Lao Chen had returned from his trip to the prison, which wasn't a big deal for an old hand like him, and he didn't seem to have any psychological scars from the experience.
Snowflakes gently drifted down.
Li Che went to the Outer City shop to get some braised beef and old yellow wine.
In the courtyard, Lao Chen sat in a rattan chair, watching Xi Xi wobble as she practiced her horse stance. He couldn't help but smile, revealing his yellow teeth.
"Little Stinker Xi, straighten your back, keep your arms straight, and hold your horse stance!"
Lao Chen opened the gourd's lid and took a swig of wine.
Xi Xi, wrapped in a red coat, had her little face red from the cold. She turned towards Li Che, who had just returned, and complained, "Daddy, Grandpa Chen called me Little Stinker Xi!"
"I'm not Little Stinker Xi, I'm Xi Xi, Li Nuoxi!"
The little girl pouted.
She was full of spirit.
Li Che rubbed her head, "Then you must become stronger, and when Grandpa Chen calls you Little Stinker Xi, you can fight back."
Xi Xi blinked her big eyes and nodded vigorously, "Daddy is right!"
Then, Xi Xi pouted and focused on perfecting her horse stance.
Li Che sat next to Lao Chen, and the two drank wine while watching Xi Xi practice.
"Indeed, as a Superior Spirit Child, her spirituality is exceptional... She has innate Divinity, and her talent for martial arts is above average. If she weren't so young, and I didn't have to be careful with her Skin Grinding, she might have successfully Skin Grinded by the age of three."
"Unfortunately, I, Lao Chen, don't know how to cultivate Divinity, so I can't help Little Stinker cultivate Divinity early..."
Lao Chen expressed his regret as he looked at Xi Xi's red cheeks with gentle eyes.
"This spirituality... is both a blessing and a curse. If you, my boy, hadn't moved into the woodcarving shop early on, this little girl might have already been harmed by the Spirit Infancy Sect."
"Now, not only is the Spirit Infancy Sect after her, but Si Mu Bai is also targeting Xi Xi..."
"In such a world... it's hard to survive."
Lao Chen took a big gulp of wine and sighed.
Li Che remained silent.
"It's hard to survive in this world..."
"As parents, we can only do our best to protect our daughter. If anyone dares to harm her, even if it means death... we'll bite off a piece of their flesh."
Li Che took a piece of beef and chewed slowly as he spoke.
...
...
Two months passed in a flash.
Rain Listening Lane.
The small courtyard.
Heavy rain poured down, shrouding the world in a hazy mist.
The raindrops hit the black tiles, creating a pitter-patter sound.
Inside the house, Li Che slowly circulated his Vital Energy, and the roaring sound of rushing water was like the tide pounding against his tempered muscles and bones!
"The second stage of Vital Energy circulation, the initial stage of Blood Exchange..."
Li Che stood up in the house, his well-built upper body bare, emitting a steaming heat. He clenched his fists and waved them vigorously, causing the air to burst with a loud whoosh.
The explosive force was significantly stronger than Bone Tempering.
"In two months' time, after stepping into the Blood Exchange Realm, the Vital Energy circulation has advanced from one stage to two... Completing one stage of blood circulation every month, and reaching the perfection of six stages only requires half a year."
Li Che's eyes shone with excitement, but he felt a slight sense of regret. The Blood Exchange technique he had obtained was only the Six-Stage Blood Exchange.
The Mid-Rank Blood Exchange technique, when perfected, only required six stages of blood circulation. The Guo Zhan he had killed was a warrior who had perfected the Six-Stage Blood Exchange technique.
If it were the Nine-Stage Upper-Rank Blood Exchange technique, it would require nine stages of blood circulation. The blood would be like liquid mercury, containing even more powerful energy, and the cultivation of strength, speed, and physical body would reach an even higher level of tempering.
"Fortunately, I learned from Grandpa Chen that if the Blood Exchange technique is cultivated to perfection, it is also possible to cultivate the Upper-Rank Blood Exchange technique, completing the nine stages of blood circulation based on the original six stages..."
"So, if there's a chance... I should still obtain an Upper-Rank Blood Exchange technique."
Li Che stretched lazily, and his entire body's muscles and bones resonated. The nine large muscles on his back twitched, containing formidable strength.
After wiping off the sweat from his training with a clean towel, Li Che put on his outer garment and sat down in a chair. He took out the Tang Family Mechanism Records.
As he looked at the increasingly absurd and bizarre mechanisms described in the book, Li Che couldn't help but feel speechless.
"Among the twelve mechanisms recorded, the Wooden Raven is ranked eighth. The mechanisms before it become increasingly absurd and bizarre, and they are only theoretically possible... However, the seventh-ranked mechanism, Bodhimanda Blood Tears, is worth trying."
According to the introduction, the Bodhimanda Blood Tears required extremely intricate craftsmanship, and it was both time-consuming and laborious. However, its lethality... was genuinely powerful! It was both vicious and formidable!
Li Che was very interested.
"The Tang Family Mechanisms... I wonder where Grandpa Chen obtained this book."
If not for possessing the Immortal Art Dao Fruit, Li Che wouldn't even be able to understand it.
After closing the book, Li Che closed his eyes to rest.
In front of his eyes, a prompt slowly appeared.
...
[Name: Li Che]
[Bond: Li Nuan Xi (Daughter)]
[Dao Fruits: Immortal Art (lv3, 9%), Lion Elephant Vajra (lv2, 15%), Pure Heart (LV1, 5%)]
[Divine Ability Prototype: Immortal Art · Thousand Analyzing Hands]
...
In the past two months, apart from the Lion Elephant Dao Fruit, which had improved due to the breakthrough in Blood Exchange, the others had not progressed much.
The growth of Pure Heart was still slow. Although Li Che absorbed the stray Divinity from the heavens and earth every day, because he used his Divinity to nurture Xi Xi's body daily, it had only reached 5% maturity in two months.
Cultivation requires perseverance, and the journey is long and arduous.
Li Che did not feel discouraged.
However, the lack of access to Divinity techniques had been a headache for Li Che.
After tidying up, Li Che finished his cultivation for the day, changed into clean clothes, and headed towards the woodcarving shop with an oil-paper umbrella and some wine and dishes from the restaurant.
However, as soon as he returned to the entrance of the woodcarving shop, he sensed that the atmosphere in the shop was amiss.
The temperature in the entire shop seemed to have risen.
Li Che walked through the doorway and saw a Nanmu chair placed in front of his workshop.
A majestic figure sat on the chair with a broad-shouldered posture, wearing a black and red official robe.
As if sensing Li Che's return, the official's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced over.
Li Che felt as if his eyes were being scorched, as if endless wrath was churning within, and behind that figure, there stood a wrathful Buddha glaring at the world!
"Zhao Xuanhai..."
"Li Master, it's an honor to meet you."
