“I possess the ‘Dragon Elephant Vajra’ Dao Fruit, my physical body is robust; even without the Mysterious Vein cultivation, my physical strength is by no means weaker than that of the Mysterious Vein, perhaps even stronger. This should pose no problems in forging my Divine Foundation.”
After Li Che had arranged everything,
he calmed his mind in the workshop, took out the ‘Blood Flesh Red’ Spiritual Wood he had harvested from Old Deng of the Yang Family, and started crafting the ‘Bodhi Blood Tears’ mechanism.
The power of this device was immense, posing a significant threat even to Divine Base Cultivators.
Unfortunately, due to its high difficulty of production, Li Che only had one and had to prepare others after its use.
Luckily, the piece of Blood Flesh Red Spiritual Wood collected by Old Deng of the Yang Family was large enough; Li Che estimated he could make three Bodhi Blood Tears.
After working for a while, Li Che stopped his hands.
Seeing the skies had darkened completely, he did not stay any longer in the workshop.
He left the workshop and headed to the Golden Splendor Pavilion, because with Li Qingshan’s situation, the City Lord’s Mansion had completely retracted its claws, no longer harboring any intentions toward Li Che and Xi Xi.
With the fall of the Yang Family, the weakening of the Si Family, and the relocation of the entire An Family, the noble families and clans within Fei Lei City were reduced to just the Xu Family, leading to an oddly improved order within the city.
Having ordered a good table of wine and dishes, Li Che returned to his own courtyard.
Back in the courtyard,
Xi Xi was sitting under the eaves with Grandpa Chen, eating fruits on large and small bamboo chairs.
Grandpa Chen doted on Xi Xi, often buying her lots of delicious things; even in the winter when fruits were expensive, he was willing to spend the money for her.
“Daddy!”
Seeing Li Che return, Xi Xi excitedly bounced off the chair.
She ran towards Li Che and crashed into his embrace.
“Daddy, are we moving? Can we take Grandpa Chen with us?”
Xi Xi’s eyelashes fluttered lightly, her eyes watery and full of reluctance.
Grandpa Chen on the chair was instantly stunned, his eyes much softer; he grabbed his gourd, pulled out the stopper, and took a swig of wine: “This girl… “
“You are going to Mansion City to cultivate, what would Grandpa Chen do there?”
Upon hearing this, Li Che smiled and said, “Grandpa Chen, stop being shy, let’s go together. Xi Xi has been training under your guidance since she was little. When we get to Mansion City, there will be assessments, don’t you want to see Xi Xi suppress all the Spirit Children from various cities and powerfully enter the Divine Sect?”
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Chen was momentarily speechless: “This girl, though sweet and lovely, has the strength to pull mountains and the spirit to overshadow the world…”

“At the age of three, no one can rival Little Stinky Xi!”
Grandpa Chen laughed heartily, as if envisioning the dominating scene of Xi Xi beating up Spirit Children from other cities in Mansion City.
Xi Xi, with one hand around Li Che’s neck, scrunched up her little nose and said discontentedly, “Grandpa Chen, I am Xi Xi, Li Nuanxi, not Little Stinky Xi!”
“Haha, okay, okay, Grandpa Chen knows, Little Stinky Xi.”
Grandpa Chen responded with a laugh.
Xi Xi was annoyed and puffed up her cheeks, staying silent.
“Grandpa Chen, prepare yourself; in a couple of days, come with me to bid farewell to your position as a Wood Carver at the Xu Family,” Li Che said.
Grandpa Chen still hesitated a bit: “A Spirit Child can only bring their own family, right? Isn’t it inappropriate for me to go?”
“Don’t worry, your spot won’t be missed,” Li Che pursed his lips and said.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Chen no longer resisted.
In a couple of days, after the selection of Spirit Children at the Golden Splendor Pavilion ends, Li Che planned to discuss with his uncles about them also relocating to Mansion City.
Mainly because, Fei Lei City… was no longer safe.
As night fell,
Li Qingshan returned with a radiant face, his steps brisk.
Lu Chi, who was wrestling with Xi Xi for the Twist Car, looked up puzzledly at his master, who seemed rejuvenated. Despite his young age, he had already discerned many adult secrets.
Rolling his eyes, Lu Chi resumed competing with Xi Xi for the Twist Car.
“I don’t want to play anymore, Brother Lu Chi, you can have it,”
Xi Xi generously gave the Twist Car to Lu Chi then sat down under the eaves, her chubby hands propping her chin, seemingly a bit melancholic.
From a distance, Li Che, teaching Zhang Ya a Martial Technique, immediately turned his gaze.
Lu Chi shivered, jumping off the Twist Car as if it was scalding his bottom, feeling Li Che’s gaze like a thousand cuts.
With a tearful heart, it’s not like he had provoked Xi Xi.
Li Che approached Xi Xi: “Are you not happy, Xi Xi?”
Xi Xi pouted her little mouth: “Xi Xi misses Master Niu Niu; he hasn’t visited in several days, and I miss him.”
Li Che paused.
That Bull Demon, clearly no good, yet this girl misses him so?
However, as her father, Li Che naturally wanted to fulfill her wishes.
“Don’t worry, perhaps your Master Niu Niu knows you’re moving, and he’s preparing a gift for you?” Li Che pinched Xi Xi’s chubby cheek.
Xi Xi’s eyes immediately brightened.
Meanwhile, Lu Chi, unseen by Li Che, rolled his eyes in the direction his cheek wasn’t visible.
He, Lu Chi, had cunningly seen through the adults’ secrets.
An old man deceiving a lady, forever young.
A father coaxing his daughter, pretending to be a master.
The world of adults is all fake.
…
…
The next day,
Dark clouds piled up, winter lightning darting through them, flashing with electric light.
After assisting his wife Zhang Ya with deep exploratory Bone Technique the night before, Li Che felt spirited and invigorated.
In the courtyard,
Li Qingshan sat in a wooden chair, dressed in green robes, flipping through a book. Beside him, a stove boiled water for tea, the steam billowing.
Lu Chi sat cross-legged below, cultivating his Divinity.
The book Li Qingshan was reading was the ‘Tang’s Mechanism Essentials,’ obtained from Grandpa Chen.
The elderly man furrowed his brows, looked at the book, and said to Li Che, “Mechanism… Is it with the mechanisms in here that you killed the Yang Family’s Divine Foundation?”
