"Todayās actions at Spring Pavilion were absolutely earth-shattering and moved gods and ghosts!ā
Zhang Ya said exaggeratedly,
Trying to lighten Li Cheās somber mood.
Todayās incident at Spring Pavilion was so significant, virtually everyone in the Inner City witnessed it clearly.
Upon hearing this, Li Che looked astonished, listening to Zhang Yaās description, nodding continuously.
Eventually, Zhang Ya still couldnāt completely hide her gloomy feelings.
However, Li Che just smiled and pinched Zhang Yaās nose.
"Just kidding, when your husband makes a move, how could he possibly fail?ā
"I, your husband, have successfully been promoted and have become one of the Fifth Elders of Divine Sculpture Ridge! Pack up well, in two days, we will move!ā
Li Che said, smiling.
Zhang Ya was stunned and then screamed in excitement!
She jumped into Li Cheās arms and hugged him like an octopus.
"My husband is the best!ā
Under the eaves,
Nurse Momo sat in the rocking chair, her legs covered with a blanket, her face bearing a gentle smile as she watched the joyful young couple.

ā¦
Qian Yuan Dao City.
Thunder Alley.
An independent workshop courtyard.
Snowflakes fluttering, instantly evaporated by the scorching Qi-Blood, clearing up the environment, making the night crystal clear.
Li Che sat cross-legged in the center of the courtyard.
His Qi-Blood swirling around him like a Jiao dragon, forging his physical body, making his strength increasingly terrifying.
Opening and closing his eyes, Li Che squeezed out the last bit of medicinal effect from the martial arts pill.
Slowly exhaling a breath of scorching air, the steam heated up the chilly courtyard, instantly causing waves of white mist.
"Exhale
"Inhale
Between each breath, a gale howled, sweeping the lingering white mist clean.
Li Che sat crossed-legged, calming his thoughts.
He took out Su Huaimingās and Niu Shisanās Qiankun Jade, beginning to inventory.
Just one check, and Li Che couldnāt help but gasp.
It seemed he had underestimated the wealth accumulated by a Middle-Ranked Divine Sculptor of the Five Elders!
"Fifty pieces of Fifth-Order Divine Crystals! Three hundred from the Six Ministries Divine Crystals!ā
"This isā¦ too wealthy?!ā
"Unfortunately, absorbing Divine Crystals is not easy, otherwise, Su Huaiming could have even piled up to the level of Embryonic Breathing Transformation relying solely on Divine Crystals.ā
Li Che was truly shocked.
But soon, he was overcome with joy, as his cultivation devoured resources like a Swallowing Gold Beast.
Whether it was the Spiritually Bright Real Ape, the various Temple God Avatars, or the Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit, all required Fifth-Order Divine Crystals to progress.
Moreover, for Immaculate Heart Taoist Fruit, only the first Divine Crystal had the best effectā¦
Subsequent ones had mediocre effects, and the absorption speed also slowed, yet, it was possible to amass a quantity.
"The elixir reserves are also extraordinary, the person may be lacking, but the equipment is complete!ā
Li Cheās eyes dazzled.
There were even five Fifth-Order martial arts pills!
Given Su Huaimingās physical strength, he couldnāt consume these pills as they would cause his body to explode, yet he still prepared them in advanceā¦
Thatās typical of someone weak but well-equipped.
In the end, Li Che benefitted.
"This is
Suddenly.
Li Cheās eyes sharpened and almost seemed to freeze!
"Is thisā¦ Fifth-Order Upper Spirit Wood?!ā
"Phoenix Blood Phoenix Nest Nirvana Wood?!ā
Li Che took a deep breath, even his composure fluctuating violently.
Great wealth, an immense fortune!
The only piece of Fifth-Order Upper Spirit Wood, its divinity was overly intense.
Even through the Qiankun Space, Li Che could feel the fierce heat and the vigorous life force!
Fifth-Order Upper Spirit Wood!
Even Su Huaiming would have a hard time carving it.
For Su Huaiming, this wood was but a collectible!
Besides this piece of Fifth-Order Upper Spirit Woodā¦
There were also two pieces of Lower Fifth-Order Spirit Wood!
Among them, one was the Blood Fire Divine Pattern Bodhi Wood that Li Che obtained in Strange Que.
The other was the Lower Fifth Order [Wind and Thunder Dragon Chi Wood]!
Undoubtedly, these were preparations made by Su Huaiming, intending to aim for the rank of Upper-Level Divine Sculptor of the Fifth Order!
Nowā¦
They belonged to Li Che!
Fifth-Order Spirit Woodā¦ was not something easy to obtain.
Even as a newly appointed elder of Qian Yuan Divine Sect at the Divine Sculpture Ridge, acquiring Fifth-Order Spirit Woodā¦
Relied on waiting for an allocation, and only when there was a vacancy, he might obtain a piece!
Only such important assessments for Divine Sculpture Ridge Elders warranted the secret preparation of a piece of Fifth-Order Spirit Wood.
Li Che couldnāt help but smile broadly.
Given Su Huaimingās prestigious position within the Su Family, these were obviously helped acquired by the Su Family.
The Su Family, with a foundation of three thousand years, naturally is not ordinary, acquiring Spiritual Wood is not too difficult for them.
"Unimaginableā¦ A great family like the Su Family, experiencing ups and downs over three thousand years, how beautiful their treasure vault must be.ā
Li Che couldnāt help but start fantasizing.
Itās just regrettable that Su Huaiming seems to have no interest in Martial Arts; among his collection, there are no Divine Seed Martial Arts.
After checking Su Huaimingās collection, and then examining Niu Shisanās Qiankun Jadeā¦
Even as an Innate Great Grandmaster, he made Li Che feel like nothing more than a beggar.
Certainly, Niu Shisan also collected a treasure of the Fifth Order Martial Pillā¦
Itās just that without comparison, there is no hurt.
Subduing his restless emotions which surged from the wealth struck down.
Li Cheās mind moved, and he took out two wood carvings.
One was blood-red, covered with Blood Fire Divine Patterns, the very one he carved during the Divine Carving Ridge evaluation, the Heavenly Earth Spirit True Ape Divine Statue!
According to rank, it should be at the Lower Five Elders level.
This also indicates that Li Cheās level as a Divine Sculpture Master has reached the Lower Five Elders realm.
Although this Divine Sculpture was not easy to carve, the improvement it brought to Li Che was tremendous!
Li Che exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Then he took out another statue.
That was the Divine Sculpture Half-Saintās insight that Elder Sun had stored within this wood carving before his passing, intending to pass it on to Li Che!
Just a few strokes away from completion.
But for Li Che, how to carve, and whether he dares to carve, had become an extremely challenging impact.
Inside his chest, the Immortal Craft Dao Fruit throbbed!
In his eyes.
Light flickered.
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Craft (LV4, 96%)]
Carving a Lower Fifth Order Divine Sculpture, brought the Heavenly Earth Spirit True Ape into existence.
It really brought a significant increase in the maturity of Li Cheās Immortal Craft Dao Fruit!
And now, only 4% maturity was left.
Li Che looked down, his gaze falling on the statue Elder Sun had gifted.
He took out Su Huaimingās Divine Sculpture Master tool kit.
The quality of the carving knife was extremely high, reaching the level of the Upper Six Divisions!
And after Li Che enhanced it with the Qi-Blood Rosy Clouds, this carving knife directly upgraded to the Lower Five Elders level!
However, Li Che didnāt focus on the carving knife, his eyes were fixed on the silently placed statue of the Six-Eared Prison Lotus Divine Monkey Two-Minded Great Sage in the center of the courtyard.
He kept watching, observing, pondering.
In his mind, he simulated various ways of carving, the intensity, the angle, and the thickness of the wood being splitā¦
His mind seemed to be experiencing a storm.
Simulating again and again!
But each simulation of making a cut would drastically reduce the Divine Intent of the sculpture.
Unable to reach perfection, unable to continue Elder Sunās Divine Intent.
This feeling made Li Che extremely uncomfortable.
As if choking, his face turned pale involuntarily.
On his foreheadā¦
Unconsciously, a very fine bead of sweat rolled down.
Suddenly.
The entire courtyard fell silent.
Snow softly sprinkled, covering the courtyard floor with a thick layer.
Even accumulating a layer on Li Che.
Unknown how much time had passed.
Perhaps a hundred breaths, or maybe a thousand breaths.
Li Che slowly opened his eyes, his pupils void of emotional fluctuations.
No longer agitated, no longer choking, no longer entangledā¦
Clear-minded like water.
As if washed away from the lead dust, his heart became calm and strong.
Li Cheās robust Qi-Blood quietly surged, shaking off the snow from his body.
The entire yardās snow instantly evaporated, turning into innumerable steaming currents rushing into the sky above the courtyard.
Li Che gripped the Divine Weapon carving knife and slowly swung it towards the Divine Sculpture left by Elder Sun.
Understanding the insight of the Divine Sculpture Half-Saint!
His cut was firm, his heart unshaken.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
Lingering at his fingertips.
Wood shavings flew.
The sound of the silent carving knife splitting the wood echoed in the quiet courtyard.
Great paths are silent.
The knife falls without sound.
"Hu.ā
When he exhaled a breath, blowing all the wood shavings off the carving.
It was as if a streak of golden light flowed and twinkled from the most ordinary wood carved Divine Sculpture!
On the Two-Minded Great Saintās wood carving.
It seemed like a teardrop fell.
Li Che remained silent.
Before him, light flowed like water.
