Liu He was very enthusiastic, and he excelled at visiting the pleasure districts and listening to music.
Moreover, as a guest official of the Qintian Observatory, visiting the pleasure districts and listening to music was just the most basic business skill.
Shangguan Qinghong kicked Liu He, “Don’t lead Li astray!”
“After all, Li is a family man!”
“Hahaha, just joking, just joking… By the way, I have some good news to share with Brother Li.” Liu He laughed and then looked at Li Che, saying, “Just on the way here… I heard a sensational piece of news.”
“Qin Yuqing from the Qin Family, the Jade-Faced Poisonous Rakshasa… crossed someone she shouldn’t have and was shot to death inside the Qin Mansion! Her death was extremely tragic!”
“With the death of the Jade-Faced Poisonous Rakshasa, Brother Li can finally sleep well. This woman was extremely malevolent, she intended to vent her anger on everyone from Fei Lei City. Now that she’s dead, it’s a big problem off Brother Li’s shoulders.”
“It’s just unknown who the expert was… It’s said that from tens of miles away, the kill was certain! It’s absolutely horrifying to hear!”
Liu He shook his head, full of amazement.
From tens of miles away, to remotely kill a grandmaster… even if it was a weakened grandmaster high on drugs, it was still no mean feat.
Li Che showed a look of surprise, but he felt a great relief within, letting out a long breath as if a heavy stone had suddenly fallen.
After all, he only had one chance with the “Immortal Artisan Barrett”, so whether Qin Yuqing lived or died after that attack depended on her own fate.
Now it seemed, Qin Yuqing’s fate wasn’t shallow; she died a swift death.
Shangguan Qinghong had just heard about it and was immediately shocked, “The Qin Family has the Diviner Ancestor presiding, didn’t he stop it?”
“He didn’t stop it, indeed. I heard that the Diviner Ancestor of the Qin Family was furiously enraged. The method of killing was said to be through mechanized secret techniques, so the ancestor has contacted the Temple Control Bureau, intending to thoroughly investigate various forces. After all, Qin Yuqing was a direct member of the Qin Family, brutally shot within the mansion…
The Diviner Ancestor’s face was practically swollen from the slap.” Liu He said, restraining his laughter.
When it involved the Diviner Ancestor, it wasn’t good to laugh too loudly.
Hai Chuanying had always been quiet, but at this moment, he couldn’t help but look strangely at Li Che.
They had just discussed the threat from Qin Yuqing with Li Che the day before, and the next day… Qin Yuqing was shot to death at home.
Of course, Hai Chuanying didn’t think it was Li Che who had killed Qin Yuqing. What was Li Che’s cultivation compared to Qin Yuqing’s?
The gap between the two was simply too vast.
Even if Li Che had become a Third-class Guest Official at the Qintian Observatory, it was incomparable to Qin Yuqing’s status.
He just felt that Li Che was really lucky.
“With the death of Qin Yuqing, Golden Light Prefecture City is likely to be in chaos. Before the Spirit Child assessment of the Divine Sect branch, the local powers in the city were already somewhat restless.
The Qin Family might just take the opportunity of Qin Yuqing’s death to make a move, snatching some benefits from the other major noble families, at least a few marketplaces and several gangs might change hands.”
Hai Chuanying said somberly.

“Moreover, Qin Yuqing was the mistress of Jin Xuan, the Great Elder of the Gold Split Gate… associated with him in a debased manner. That Jin Xuan, a Divine Phase Realm Illusory Phase Cultivator who has lived for two hundred years, was very fond of Qin Yuqing and even promoted her to the position of a True Successor, leaning resources to nurture her.”
“Now that she has died in such a manner, this Divine Symbol Cultivator might be angrier than the Qin Family and will probably investigate thoroughly.”
Hai Chuanying’s words made Li Che’s heart tighten slightly, and although he took it seriously, he did not dwell on it deeply.
After all, having killed Qin Yuqing and offended the Qin Family, adding one more Gold Split Gate…
Didn’t seem like much more.
Might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.
In any case, for him now, these were all untouchable existences.
The group talked for a while longer, and Shangguan Qinghong went to fetch Li Che’s Guest Official robe plus the benefits he was entitled to.
Shortly after, Li Che then received the perks of becoming a Guest Official.
A Guest Official robe, a bottle of Ninth Rank martial arts pills, and a copy of “Great Scenic Heavenly Seven Element Thousand-Handed Divine Carving Technique (Upper Volume)”.
“These are the ‘Imperial Heaven Furious Dark Jiao Martial Pills’ at Ninth Rank Superior, made from the true blood of the Furious Dark Jiao, and their medicinal strength is significantly higher than the Ninth Grade Lower Rank. Because the medicinal strength is too strong, Brother Li, when you take them, grind them and divide them into three parts… they can be used to accelerate the Blood Exchange.”
“Roughly three pills should be enough for you to complete the Nine Shifts Blood Exchange, probably needing about two months.”
“After that, Brother Li can come to get the Great Scenic Meridian Opening Method, which are all provided for free after becoming a Guest Official.”
Shangguan Qinghong handed over the items one by one to Li Che, providing explanations.
“What is this?”
Li Che pinched a black amber-like crystal stone.
“This is a Ten Cities Divine Crystal, and a Third-Class Guest Official receives ten such crystals as a monthly salary. Is Li still nurturing his nature? Refining a Divine Crystal can accelerate nature nurturing…”
Shangguan Qinghong said with a smile.
Divine Crystal?
Li Che took a deep breath… this was a resource!
It was a resource only accessible in big cities, completely unheard of in Fei Lei City, and Cao Guang, being the lord of a city, did not even possess Divine Crystals among his assets.
However, it might have been that he once had some, but had refined them all.
“Divine Crystals are mostly produced inside the Strange Que of Mysterious Temples… Therefore, only the Nine Luminaries Bizarre Temple can produce Divine Crystals,” Shangguan Qinghong added, as if aware of what Li Che was thinking.
Li Che held the Divine Crystal.
He tried to secretly sense it with his divine sense.
The next moment, his eyes involuntarily focused because…
The divinity contained within this Divine Crystal…
was as pure as the Divinity within the “Pure Heart” Dao Fruit!
…
…
Gong Yunli and Gongyang Liancheng, the two Minor Supervisors, holding the statue of the “Four-Armed Furious Crown Prince” carved by Li Che, ascended towards the upper floors of the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building.
When they reached the seventh floor, the two stopped, walked around the corridor, and arrived in front of a tea room.
A faint scent of tea drifted from the tea room.
“Deputy Inspector, today it is your turn to pose the challenge, and the piece recommended by Li Qingshan, a Third-Class Guest Official, has been brought for your reassessment,” said Gongyang Liancheng, holding the wood carving slightly bowing respectfully.
“Come in,” a faint voice came from inside the tea room.
Gong Yunli and Gongyang Liancheng stepped into the tea room.
They saw a man in a simple white robe sitting quietly at a yellow pear wood tea table, adeptly brewing tea.
“Just place it on the table by the door, do not disturb my tea brewing,” he said.
“Yes,” Gongyang Liancheng placed the wood carving on a small table by the door.
After brewing a bowl of tea, the man in the white robe took a small sip and then poured it all out.
He then wiped his hands with a cloth.
Barely lifting his eyelids, his gaze fell on the wood carving placed at the door.
Just one glance, and the pupils of the man in the white robe suddenly narrowed.
“Hmm?!”
“Bring it closer, put it on the tea table,” he said.
Gongyang Liancheng was startled.
He picked up the wood carving and placed it on the tea table.
The Deputy Inspector examined it closely, a hint of astonishment flickering in his eyes.
“This man has been to one of the Four Royal Mysterious Temples…”
“Has he seen a Temple God?”
