Chapter 51: Perfect Blood Exchange, Profound Realm White Tiger Gale
Chapter 51: Perfect Blood Exchange, Profound Realm White Tiger Gale
Li Che's resistance to Xixi entering the Xu Family's Divine Academy in the Inner City wasn't as strong as one might have expected.
As a parent, he couldn't keep her sheltered forever.
It wouldn't be good for her growth.
Entering the Divine Academy is like sending a child to preschool in my previous life.
"A-Che, does this mean you agree?"
Xu You was pleasantly surprised to see Li Che's consent.
Old Chen, sitting in a wicker chair beside him, also nodded in agreement, "The environment in the Outer City has deteriorated compared to the past, and the Spirit Infants Sect is getting bolder. There are hardly any Divine Children left in the Outer City, and the sect has even started targeting ordinary children..."
"The Inner City is indeed much safer than the Outer City, and although Xixi is a bit young, her spiritual talent is exceptional. Starting her cultivation early is a good thing."
Old Chen had always stayed out of the Inner City, but now he was expressing his opinion.
Li Che called for Zhang Ya and shared his thoughts with her.
"My dear, it's up to you to decide. But I'm still worried about Xixi being so young."
Zhang Ya couldn't hide her concern.
After all, Xixi was only two years old.
"Don't worry. I can't enter the Divine Academy, but I will. I'll keep an eye on Xixi and make sure she's safe."
Xu You had suggested this, so it was natural for him to be concerned about Xixi's safety.
Xixi was about to start her journey at the Divine Academy.
The entire family was busy preparing, even Li Che felt a bit lost and anxious.
He crafted a small wooden book box for Xixi, using lightweight wood so that it wouldn't feel heavy when carried.
Zhang Ya was busy sewing new clothes for Xixi, wanting her to look her best at the Divine Academy and not lose face.
Three days later.
A light rain fell, and the chilly air brought a crispness to the early spring.
Xu You summoned the Xu Family's carriage and, together with Li Che, carried Xixi into it.
"Goodbye, Mama! I'll come back after I kick some butt at the Divine Academy!"
Xixi, carrying her small book box made by Li Che, leaned out of the carriage window and waved goodbye to Zhang Ya, who was standing with a pouting face.
This was Xixi's first time leaving her mother for a long journey, and Zhang Ya was truly reluctant to let her go.
As the carriage rolled over puddles, gradually moving away.
Xixi watched her mother shrinking in her big eyes, and tears began to stream down her face.
Li Che comforted her, offering a skewer of grapes. The little girl's longing for her mother vanished in less than three seconds.
"Grandpa Chen said that I have to use my little fists to protect herself, then no one will bully Xixi!"
Xixi clenched her tiny fist, licking the grapes, and said earnestly, with tears still in her eyes.
Li Che smiled and ruffled her hair.
"If anyone bullies you, remember to tell me..."
"Daddy's the best at reasoning."
...
...
After dropping Xixi off at the Divine Academy, Li Che was not allowed to enter. He entrusted Xixi's care to Xu You and headed to the independent workshop arranged by Xu You in the Inner City.
The workshop was well-equipped, and Li Che could work there during the day and practice martial arts. In the evening, he would pick Xixi up from the Divine Academy.
The workshop wasn't large, as space in the Inner City was precious. Xu You had arranged a single-courtyard workshop with a small yard and some stone locks and wooden posts for leisure martial arts practice.
For the next few days, Li Che's life settled into a routine. He would send Xixi to the Divine Academy in the morning, work and practice in the Inner City during the day, and pick Xixi up from the academy in the evening.
During his free time, Li Che would put on the cute Bull Mask and the conical hat, venturing out in the cold rain to hunt for the Spirit Infants Sect's experience babies.
Additionally, Li Che secretly began gathering information about Si Mu Bai.
"He's been shut in for over two months, holed up in the Si Family's inner courtyard... Looks like he's badly injured."
In the workshop, Li Che held a carving knife, sculpting a piece of wood, wood shavings falling like snowflakes.
He picked up the finished part, closed his eyes for a moment, and then began tidying up with satisfaction.
Si Mu Bai stayed indoors, and Li Che was in no hurry. Hunting required patience.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to rush into the Si Family Manor to kill Si Mu Bai.
He waited for Si Mu Bai to leave, hoping for a chance to strike.
Moreover, he couldn't afford to linger or delay too long. The Inner City was unlike the Outer City, filled with powerful cultivators, and reinforcements would arrive swiftly.
Li Che packed the newly crafted parts and continued to refine his Celestial Craft [Immortal Craft], which was gradually maturing. His skills improved, and his designs were slowly coming to fruition.
Currently, he was working on enhancing the Wooden Raven, aiming to increase its power.
Li Che was also researching a new mechanism, the Bodhi Blood Tears, but it was incredibly challenging. The primary material, a rare pinewood called Flesh Red, was said to be a spiritual wood, making it difficult to find.
Li Che placed an order in the market district, asking an old acquaintance to find it. The price was set at one gold leaf per catty, and even then, success depended on luck.
In the Inner City, Nan Ming Lane.
Inside an independent workshop.
Li Che sat cross-legged on the ground, and with each breath, the wood shavings around him surged like waves, swept across the floor, and piled up in the corner.
Within his chest, an ancient bell seemed to resonate, and a distant, booming sound reverberated endlessly.
"Huff—"
"Huff—"
His life energy surged like a giant python beneath his skin, creating an invisible shockwave that dispersed with each pulse.
The python coiled and spiraled around his body, carrying the life energy in waves—one round, two rounds, three rounds... six rounds! The force continued to accumulate, layer upon layer...
Boom!!!
When he opened his eyes, they were like razor-sharp swords slicing through the air.
Li Che stood up, clenched his fist, and slammed it downward.
In the courtyard, a wild gale surged!
A White Tiger seemed to roar within, its form both physical and spiritual, gathering the essence of heaven and earth. It transformed into a White Tiger phantom, winding forward for half a meter before dissipating!
Profound Realm Technique... White Tiger Gale Fist!
Li Che lowered his fist, his eyes gleaming, and exhaled a breath, his life energy receding, and sweat steaming from his body.
"Six Movements Blood Exchange, Blood Exchange Perfection... But this is just the perfection of the Middle Six Movements Blood Exchange Method."
Li Che wasn't satisfied with this. He needed the Nine Movements Blood Exchange Method.
Divine Fruit: Immortal Craft (lv3, 10%), Bodhimanda Vajra (lv2, 20%), Pure Heart (lv1, 7%).
Glancing at his Divine Fruits, he noticed that they had all increased in maturity. In just over a month, the growth was significant.
The maturity of the Celestial Craft [Immortal Craft] had risen to 10%, thanks to the improved Wooden Raven, which delighted Li Che.
With the Six Movements Blood Exchange perfection, the maturity of Bodhimanda Vajra reached 20%, further enhancing Li Che's strength.
With a thought, his entire body twisted and cracked as his bone structure and skin transformed.
He went from a youthful figure to a robust middle-aged man.
Upon reaching lv2, the Bodhimanda Vajra's active abilities became more refined, allowing him to manipulate his flesh and bones like clay.
Previously, activating Vajra Transformation only caused his body to expand, instantly turning him into a burly, muscular ox demon.
Now, he could control the size of each body part, making it more manageable.
Boom, boom, boom!
Above Thunder City, dark clouds gathered like a rolling thunderstorm.
The atmosphere was oppressive and suffocating.
Li Che kept his transformed appearance, maintaining the robust middle-aged look.
He donned a conical hat and placed the Cute Bull Mask in his chest pocket. He wrapped the improved Wooden Raven in black cloth and placed it in his backpack.
After putting on the enhanced black elastic suit, he looked up at the dark clouds.
"It's about to rain."
"The earlier I go, the earlier I return..."
"I still need to pick up Xi Xi from school."
