Chapter 62: Visit the temple god to get promoted, both father and daughter are treasures
Wood carving master!
Looking at the wood carving in his hand that exuded a strong divine aura, Xu was surprised and delighted.
If the wood carvings he creates possess divinity, he can be called a master of wood carving. His status can become noble, and he will be a guest of honor in any aristocratic family.
Although they have become masters of wood carving, they are still divided into different levels, based on the strength of the divinity bestowed on the wood carvings.
In order to enhance the dignity of woodcarving masters, the divine monks divided the ranks of woodcarving masters according to the strength of strange temples announced by the court.
For example, after becoming a wood carving master, if one is able to completely settle down and make every wood carving possess divinity, he or she is called a "Ten-city-level" wood carving master.
When the carved wood carvings have the divinity level of the sacred objects in the mysterious "Jiuyao" temple, they are called "Jiuyao-level" wood carving masters.
"Congratulations... I was right about you. I said you would become a master woodcarver!"
Xu You was very happy. He played with the wooden sculpture given by Li Che for practicing the divinity of Xu family's [Xuan Si Liu Sword]. There seemed to be light in his eyes.
"Now that you have become a master of wood carving, I can do the clearing mission with peace of mind."
Xu You smiled.
Basically no one dares to touch the daughter of a wood carving master. Xu Ji will also do his best to protect her and will not let her come to any harm in order to win over the wood carving master.
There is only an elderly woodcarving master in Xu Ji nowadays, and it is extremely difficult to maintain Xu Heli's practice on a daily basis.
Therefore, Li Che's becoming a master of wood carving would naturally be taken very seriously.
Li Che smiled and took the initiative to show off his talent and woodcarving skills...
In addition to the fact that the timing was almost right, it was also to proactively let the Xu family take it seriously and ensure Xixi's safety in Feilei City in the future.
Of course, there is also the reason of giving Xu You more bargaining chips.
Xu You was completely happy for Li Che. After taking Li Che aside and talking to him for a long time, he left in a hurry.
He wanted to tell the Xu family the news that Li Che had become a master of wood carving, so that the Xu family would take it seriously.
…
…
The night is cold and the snow is falling.
Li Che looked at Xu You who pushed away the heavy snow and disappeared at the end of the long street, and let out a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, a piece of flying snow was torn into pieces in a blur.
Li Qingshan, dressed in plain clothes, appeared with his hands behind his back and landed in the yard. He hunched his back and looked at Xu You's departing back with a raised eyebrow.
"You are a grateful person. You showed your talent as a woodcarver. After that, you joined the Divine Sect. With your background, Xu You doesn't need to worry about being bullied in Feilei City."
Li Qingshan said with a smile.
"Honest people are always easy to be bullied. If you have more background, you won't be so easy to be bullied."
Li Che exhaled a breath of hot air in the cold weather.
"Senior, you rarely show up most of the time. This time you showed up... have you found the headquarters of the Spirit Infant Sect?"
Li Che poured a bowl of hot tea from the boiling water for Li Qingshan.
Li Qingshan was not polite. He took the hot tea and sat under the eaves with Li Che, drinking it up in slurps.
"I have some clues. I have figured it out. I thought that the Lingying Sect was deeply involved with the government and would set up its headquarters in the City Lord's Mansion. I sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion, but found that it was not..."
Li Qingshan sipped the hot air, took a sip of hot tea, and said with a frown.
Li Che couldn't help but frown when he heard this: "Not in the City Lord's Mansion?"
“That’s true. The City Lord’s Mansion… is the official seat of the Dajing court after all. No matter how rampant the Lingying Sect is, if they really set up their headquarters in the City Lord’s Mansion, this kind of thing that steps on the face of the court, once it spreads to Feilei City, hey… the Temple Guarding Office of Jinguan Mansion will not be a pushover either.” Li Qingshan sneered.
“The Dajing court now cares most about face. Although the country’s fortune is declining, the dignity of a country still needs to be maintained.” Li Qingshan stretched out his hand, caught a piece of snow, and then crushed it into pieces.
"Li Che, you can actually become a master of wood carving... This is a little beyond my expectation. It seems that you, an old spirit boy, have a very keen sense of divinity."
"It's just right. Once you join the Divine Sect, I can introduce you to the 'Woodcarving Ridge'. Then, you will be able to gain a better foothold in the Divine Sect, and it will also be easier for you to get the divine woodcarvings that Xixi will need for her future cultivation."
Li Che also took a sip of tea and raised his eyebrows: "Inside the Divine Sect...are the divine wood carvings also so compact?"
Li Qingshan glanced at Li Che and grinned: "In the branch sect, the Ten-city-level wood carvings are naturally not in high demand, but the 'Nine Lights' and 'Eight Extremes' divine wood carvings are very popular..."
Li Che nodded to show that he understood.
Now, with the help of Daoguo [Xiangong], Li Che can go all out and carve out the highest quality "Ten Cities" wood carvings.
But Li Che had no idea about the Nine Lights-level divine wood carvings...
It's like, there's some kind of opportunity missing.
Li Qingshan looked at Li Che and said with deep emotion: "Master woodcarver is a popular profession. If one can become a master woodcarver, his path to divinity is guaranteed... However, the upgrade of the master woodcarver's rank is also extremely dangerous."
"Except for the Tenth City Level, it is extremely difficult to reach each level after that if you rely on your own understanding to break through, so you need to capture the divinity of the temple god in the corresponding level of the Weird Temple, and then hide this captured divinity in the wood carving to advance. This is why the rating of the Woodcarving Master is similar to the rating of the Weird Temple."
As if he had thought of something, Li Qingshan pondered for a moment.
"Li Che, have you ever been to the strange temple?"
Weird temple? Li Che couldn't help but shake his head.
Heard of it, but never been there.
The strange temples that appeared like mushrooms after the great changes in heaven and earth, accompanied by weirdness and evil, brought disaster to the world.
Even the decline of a country's national strength is closely related to the strange temple.
"I will come to look for you in a few days. I will take you to the strange temple of Shidu outside the city. There is a 'temple god statue' in the strange temple. Observing the temple god statue and capturing the rank and divinity of the temple god is the key to the promotion of a wood carving master."
"Let's go take a look at this strange temple before it's promoted to the Nine Stars. Once this strange temple is promoted to the Nine Stars... then it will be too late to go."
"That's just right... I can also use your horizontal training power..."
Li Qingshan drank up the hot tea in the bowl and said while chewing the tea leaves.
Glancing at Li Che who seemed to be lost in thought, Li Qingshan smiled and shook his head, then quietly disappeared without disturbing a single piece of falling snow.
"A strange temple?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Li Che exhaled a breath of hot air and looked at Li Qingshan who disappeared in the wind and snow.
There was a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
That is a kind of...
You are about to touch the truly magical expectations of this world.
…
…
Feilei inner city, Xuji compound.
The bright lights drive away the cold.
In the main seat, Xu Nanming, the current head of the Xu family, was sitting on a throne, examining a wooden sculpture carefully.
After a moment, a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Below, Xu You pursed his lips, his face showing excitement.
"It really is the divine woodcarving of the Ten Cities. Has Master Li really become a master woodcarver?"
"Only twenty-two years old? That's amazing... Really amazing!"
Xu Nanming let out a breath.
A 22-year-old woodcarving master. No, it should be said that he has only been in contact with woodcarving for three years. It took him three years to become a woodcarving master... Such talent is simply a treasure!
"The daughter is a treasure, and the father is also a treasure... This father and daughter are both treasures."
After Xu Nanming returned the "Statue of Three Immortals Riding on Oxen and Asking for the Sword" to Xu You, he waved his hand and asked him to leave.
"Dad, Master Li is now a master of wood carving. Our Xu family must protect Xixi's safety so as not to disappoint Master Li." Xu You said seriously before leaving.
"Go down." Xu Nanming waved his hand lightly.
"I'm leaving now." Xu You paused, the joy on his face disappeared, and he retreated with a gloomy look.
After Xu You left, Xu Nanming respectfully clasped his fists towards the dark area behind the house.
Faintly, an old voice floated out from the darkness.
"Ahem... Qianyuan Divine Sect probably sent someone to Feilei City in advance. I wonder who they are... The Si family's demise has the shadow of Divine Sect in it. This Li Nuanxi is a top-grade spiritual child. I, Xu Ji, can't control him. Sooner or later, he will go to Divine Sect. Li Che, the woodcarving master... we can't keep him either."
"In three years, he has become a master of wood carving. His ultimate limit in the future may be to reach the level of Jiuyao or even... Baji!"
"It's a pity that this person will eventually take off and won't stay in Xuji..."
"A great change is about to happen in Feilei City... If that's the case, why should I, Xu Ji, worship such a great woodcarver?"
A faint and old voice, with a hint of boredom.
"Tell He Li to go there tomorrow with a proper attitude and ask for a copy of the 'Ten Cities' divine wood carving. If Li Che accepts the order out of respect, that's fine. But if he doesn't..."
"Let's give it to the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord is putting pressure on the three great families and needs to recruit more woodcarvers..."
"A woodcarving master who has just entered the Ten Cities, the city lord..."
"I think you will be more satisfied."
In the darkness, an old and hoarse voice was heard.
When Xu Nanming heard this, he felt cold all over and sweat broke out on his forehead.
