As a father, I just want to watch you live forever...

Chapter 116: Xixi, who has achieved great success at the age of three, resonates with the temple gods
After Li Che sorted out his harvest, he did not stay in the study any longer.

Shangguan Qinghong had already said goodbye and returned home. She had obviously sensed the fighting spirit among the powerful divine beings in the city and knew that something big had happened.

I don't know when Old Chen took out a long stick, put a bench, sat in the yard, and placed the stick across his legs. His face was trembling with flesh, and he looked very imposing.

Obviously, after sensing the changes in the city, he wanted to protect the courtyard by himself.

Although Lao Chen guessed that Li Che might have surpassed him in terms of Qi and blood strength, he still chose to stand up.

"Is the carving finished?"

Seeing Li Che walking out of the study, Old Chen's brows relaxed and he let out a breath.

Li Che nodded, looked at the night sky where thunder was flashing endlessly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Those were the divine monks fighting each other, their power was astonishing.

It goes straight up to a height of three hundred feet, like an immortal fighting in the air, which is beyond imagination.

A cultivator in the virtual form can fly into the sky, and floating hundreds of meters in the air is no problem. Once one steps into the real divine form and succeeds in observing the gods, one can control the power of the gods, and flying thousands of feet in the air is no problem.

The lifespan of a divine monk can be as long as hundreds of years, and naturally he possesses inhuman and powerful strength.

After Old Chen briefly told Li Che what he had discovered, he opened the gourd and poured the wine down his throat.

"The capital city...is not safe either. In this world, there really is no safe place."

Old Chen shook his head.

Li Che fell silent, but had to admit that what Lao Chen said made sense.

Not only in this era, but for thousands of years, strange temples have appeared frequently, always bringing natural disasters and man-made calamities, and evil spirits are rampant.

Naturally, there will be no peace.

"Old Chen, go to bed early. I'll keep watch."

Li Che said softly.

"More people, more effort, it's okay... I can endure it." Old Chen said with a smile.

Li Che moved his body, his muscles and bones vibrated, his blood and energy burst out, and his tendons trembled like a roaring dragon or snake.

Change blood three times!

Old Chen: “…”

excuse me.

Old Chen silently picked up the wine jug and walked towards his room.

Damn it, this kid Li Che actually changed his blood three times. He has only been practicing martial arts for a short time... Old Chen has witnessed Li Che's rise from obscurity with his own eyes.

The shop mover who had been carefully carrying the wooden statue had unknowingly become an expert at blood transfusion.

He, Chen Dabao, is no longer the best fighter in the family.

Li Che couldn't help but chuckle as he watched Old Chen leave cursing in his heart.

He sat on the bench, his eyes as sharp as pillars, looking up at the night sky.

Tonight, the entire Jinguan Mansion.

Many people are destined to be sleepless.

……

……

The gods' fight seemed to be tacitly agreed not to affect the common people.

It seems like there's more thunder than rain.

A peaceful night.

The morning star rose as promised.

The next day, Li Che asked for leave from the Imperial Observatory and did not go to work. He stayed at home with his wife and daughter.

Xixi sat on the bluestone steps, holding the small Namo Gatling gun given to her by Niu Mo, and stroking it slowly, tenderly.

"I really want to set off fireworks. When will Master Niu Niu come to take Xixi to set off fireworks?"

The little girl was crazy. She felt like she hadn't set off fireworks for a long time.

Her crows are getting rusty.

Li Che was listening to Xixi's mumbling and was suddenly speechless.

The little girl did not hide the fact that she had obtained the Namo Gatling Mechanism. In the little girl's view, her father, mother and Grandpa Chen were all people she could trust.

Now we have to add Master Niu Niu, and... half of Lu Chi, well, only half.

The spring breeze blows, and new buds sprout.

Everything is bursting with obvious vitality.

The willows are swaying, and the air is filled with a fresh, cleansing scent of new life.

A carriage drove up outside Tinghua Lane.

In the yard, Li Che, who was practicing martial arts with little Chouxi, immediately sensed it through the chessboard of heaven and earth, and raised his eyebrows.

When the curtain of the carriage was lifted and Lu Chi helped Grandma Mu get out of the carriage, Li Che was immediately surprised.

An acquaintance. I didn’t expect that Li Qingshan actually abducted Grandma Mu.

Little Chouxi will definitely be very happy and excited when she knows that Grandma Mu is here, right?

In addition to Grandma Mu, Li Qingshan followed lazily behind, jumped off the carriage, and walked together across the bluestone floor of Tinghua Lane, heading towards the courtyard.

When she reached the tightly closed courtyard gate and heard Xixi crying in the yard because she didn't want to practice martial arts, Grandma Mu couldn't help but pursed her lips and laughed.

Knock on the door gently.

"Xixi, go open the door."

Li Che said with a smile.

Xixi walked towards the gate reluctantly, dragging a short wooden stick in one hand, and stood on tiptoe to open the bolt.

Then I saw Grandma Mu standing outside the door with a kind face.

Xixi's eyes suddenly widened: "Wow! Mother-in-law——!"

She rubbed her big eyes with the back of her chubby hands and continued to stare.

I wonder if my eyes are blurry or I’m still dreaming.

But when I found that Grandma Mu did not turn into a fragrant roast duck, I was sure that I was not dreaming!

"Wow, grandma is here, Daddy, grandma is here to see me!"

Xixi immediately threw away the short stick and threw herself into Grandma Mu's arms.

In the Xu family's spiritual training academy, Granny Mu had been training with Xixi for a long time, and they had a very good relationship.

Granny Mu had no children in her life, so she treated these children as her own and loved them very much.

"Oh, little Xixi, look at me, you've lost so much weight, is your father not giving you food to eat?"

Granny Mu squatted down, touched Xixi's face, and all her wrinkles became relaxed. She smiled and said with a distressed look on her face.

Zhang Ya, who was practicing martial arts, also stopped immediately, walked over and greeted them warmly.

Zhang Yake was extremely happy. She met an acquaintance from Feilei City in the provincial capital. It was like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Li Qingshan walked into the yard with the big-headed Lu Chi with Nezha braids.

"Huh? This girl..."

Li Qingshan glanced at Xixi. He originally came here to find Li Che. He knew Li Che's identity as the Bull Demon, so he came to discuss important matters with Li Che.

However, I didn't expect that just a glance at Xixi would bring me an unexpected gain.

"Bone tempering? Wait... it seems like the bone tempering is almost complete?! A three-year-old who has completed the bone tempering?"

Even Li Qingshan was shocked.

No, why so fast?
He knew that Xixi, this top-grade spiritual child, had great talent, but was it really this good?
He estimated that if Xixi could temper her bones before the age of seven, she would be considered to have excellent talent.

After tempering the bones at the age of seven and taking the elixir of the Divine Sect, it is hoped that he can have a blood transfusion at the age of nine, and step into the stage of opening the meridians at the age of twelve to forge a divine foundation!
Once you achieve this, you will have hope of becoming an orthodox member of the Shen Sect!

But now, Xixi is three years old and is almost at the peak of her bone tempering...

This somewhat disrupted Li Qingshan's growth plan for Xixi.

According to Li Che's words, it seemed that kindergarten had completed the senior year courses...

Is this girl going to heaven?
Li Qingshan took a deep breath, his eyes revealed a solemn look, and his brows even frowned unconsciously.

He was wondering, would Xixi be possessed by the temple god, or even be reborn as the temple god?

This possibility actually exists. Although it is extremely difficult for a temple god to reincarnate, the temple god must have an immortal spirit and a pregnant woman giving birth within a hundred miles of the immortal spirit.

Could it be Xixi?
"It shouldn't be possible... That strange temple outside Feilei City is only a ten-city temple. The temple god doesn't have such power."

Thinking of this, Li Qingshan's brows relaxed, and he looked at Xixi with more surprise.

In other words, Xixi...

No cheats, just pure talent?
Li Che naturally noticed Li Qingshan's shock. In fact, Li Che was also quite frightened.

According to Li Qingshan's assessment of Xixi's talent, it would be possible for her to temper her bones at the age of seven, but Xixi's growth now...is clearly beyond the standard.

why?
Li Che felt that... it was very likely that it came from the divinity of the Pure Heart that he combed for Xixi and Zhang Ya every day.

Ever since Li Che obtained the Pure Heart, he has been combing the bodies of the mother and daughter without interruption.

The pure mind and divine nature are spotless and flawless, and are harmless to the body.

Li Che wondered if he could extend the lifespan of both mother and daughter through his pure and flawless divinity.

But I never thought that my talent seemed to have changed.

Just like Zhang Ya, she had only learned the tendon-opening posture not long ago. Although he had his guidance, she had been making great progress along the way. Now she was almost at the stage of tendon-opening and not far from bone-tempering.

Xixi's talent is good, and Zhang Ya's talent is also good, which may be related to the combing of the divinity of [Pure Heart].

Now, Zhang Ya, who was not born as a spirit child, even began to sense divinity...

"This girl is so talented!"

Li Qingshan pinched his beard and looked at Li Che.

"The Spring Equinox has arrived, and the entrance examination for the branches of the Divine Sect is about to begin. This entrance examination covers the thirteen cities under the jurisdiction of the Jinguang Prefecture. Among them, there are three top-grade spiritual children, more than twenty upper-grade spiritual children, and hundreds of middle-grade and lower spiritual children."

"These spiritual children who have stood out from tens of thousands of children have already rushed to Jinguang City, preparing for the Divine Sect's opening examination during the Spring Equinox."

Li Qingshan smiled and said, "I selected all three of these top-grade spirit children. Of course, there are different levels of top-grade spirit children. Based on the thickness of the Purple Qi Divine Pillar, I ranked the three top-grade spirit children..."

"Well, except for you, the old spiritual boy!" Li Qingshan thought of something, looked at Li Che strangely, and gave a hint.

Li Che's face darkened. Does he care?
Would Li Che be interested in competing with three kids?!
Li Qingshan, don’t judge people so accurately!
Li Che curled his lips.

Li Qingshan continued, "I originally ranked Xixi second. The first one is the Huang family from Xianghuan City, a noble family. His name is Huang Sixiang. He is born with unparalleled divine power and extremely high divine talent."

Li Che narrowed his eyes: "What level? Higher talent than my Xixi?"

Li Qingshan just felt that Li Che was really arrogant.

"This Yellow Four Elephants is not the most gifted one. Don't forget, this is just the top-grade spirit child from the thirteen cities under the jurisdiction of the Golden Light Palace..."

Li Che raised his eyebrows: "The prefectural city is not included?"

"That's natural. There are five great families in the city. It's easier for the children of these families to give birth to spiritual children. They are nurtured with treasures since childhood, and there are quite a few top-quality spiritual children. After all, they win at birth."

Li Che was silent. This was indeed the truth...

There are countless strong people in the five major families, and there is also the blood inheritance of the ancestor of Shenxiang. In addition, they are nourished with natural treasures while still in the womb, so they are indeed one step ahead.

……

……

Li Qingshan and Li Che went to the study together, made some hot tea, and chatted while drinking it.

"The five great families...are they willing to send their talented disciples to the Divine Sect?"

Li Che suddenly thought of something and asked curiously.

"The five great families are different from the children of other cities. For example, for the small families in Feilei City, it is already the best if they have a divine foundation in the family. Once the divine foundation dies, it will be the beginning of the family's decline."

“Therefore, the families in these cities will keep the geniuses in the family, train them to become divine foundations, protect the family, and continue the family’s status in the city.”

“If we send him to the Divine Sect, there will be no news for 20 to 30 years, and he won’t have a strong sense of belonging to the family. Even if he becomes a Divine Base, he may not be willing to return to the clan to take charge…”

Li Qingshan drank hot tea and spoke leisurely.

“That’s why these small families hide their children and are unwilling to send them to the Divine Sect or the Imperial Court.”

"But the big families in the city are different. There is one sect in each road, one branch sect in each state, especially the branch sect of Qianyuan Divine Sect is located in Jinguang Prefecture. Therefore, the families in Jinguang Prefecture are in the branch sect of Divine Sect... Some people, even many senior officials, are from the families in the city."

"The family in the capital city has a divine image in charge. The life span of a divine image is three or four times that of a divine base. An old ancestor can support the family for many years, so naturally all disciples are willing to send him out."

"If a disciple who can enter the main sect emerges, the family's foundation will even rise."

After Li Qingshan finished speaking, he poured himself a cup of tea and muttered, "You kid, you are now rich, why don't you get some better tea, it's shabby."

"Didn't you become a third-class guest official in the Imperial Observatory? Why don't you go find your big-breasted and brainless junior supervisor Gong Yunli and go to the teahouse of Deputy Supervisor Lin Zheng to get a cup of good tea someday?"

Li Che was silent. He was only a third-class guest official, not a supervisor!

"Senior, how many top-grade spiritual children are there in the city?" Li Che asked with a frown.

Li Qingshan shook his head: "I don't know. The five great families are keeping it very tight. Many of them have even been sent to the five great sects for training and cultivation in advance."

"The Divine Sect entrance examination is held every four years, and the competition is fierce..."

“This year is even worse.”

Li Qingshan took a sip of tea and his voice suddenly became deeper.

Li Che was stunned, frowned and took a sip of tea: "Why?"

As parents, we are naturally concerned about our children's schooling.

Xixi's admission to the Divine Sect was as stressful as competing for a place in the city's top primary school.

There are only so many places available, and the more talented people there are, the less attention your daughter will receive, and the fewer benefits she will gain.

Li Che naturally wanted to find out clearly.

"You are a Bull Demon, but you are very carefree in the city. Don't you feel weird? You killed so many people from the Corpse God Cult. Don't you wonder why the Corpse God Cult dares to be so rampant?"

Li Qingshan waved his hand and sealed the study room so that their conversation would not be heard.

"Because... the strange temple of [Eight-armed Hell Lotus Wrathful Prince]?"

Li Che took a deep breath.

"Yes, the Third Prince Temple was shaken, and most of the masters in the Godly Appearance Realm entered the Weird Temple to suppress it. Even more people went there from the Divine Sect, after all, the Golden Light Mansion is the base of the branch sect. Of course, the shaking of the Weird Temple was driven by some people, but also by their own reasons..."

"Shen Zong has always relied on temples to make a living. A strange temple is both a risk and an opportunity."

"There is one item in this sect entrance examination... The Divine Sect will send three Divine Appearance monks, and will use the divine weapon [Hell Lotus Wind and Fire Golden Light Wheel] to tear open the strange gate and send the spirit children to a place a hundred feet in front of the Third Prince's Temple..."

Li Qingshan's words were like thunder!
It landed loudly beside Li Che's ears, and his eyes shrank unconsciously.

Even Li Che, who was good at disguise, couldn't help but lose his composure.

"Ah? Send these cute little spirit children to a place a hundred feet in front of the Third Prince's Temple?"

Li Che looked at Li Qingshan and couldn't help but raise his voice.

This bitch...

What's the difference between this and serving a pile of delicious fat meat to a dog?
Li Qingshan couldn't help laughing out loud. Li Che's reaction was too big, but it was understandable. After all, it was the extremely dangerous Four Emperors Strange Temple.

Li Che's expression changed. There was actually such an item in the assessment. It was too dangerous!

That would put Xixi in an extremely dangerous situation.

If any uncontrollable changes occur, it will be a disaster for the weak spiritual children!
Li Che did not smile, but looked at Li Qingshan solemnly.

Li Qingshan restrained his smile, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "I know you are worried about Xixi's safety, but although this matter has certain risks, it is also an opportunity."

"Send the many spirit children to the front of the strange temple 300 feet away. The purpose is to pass the test of the temple god to test their compatibility with the temple god's divinity. You also know that the Third Prince came to the world in the form of a child. If he can resonate with the temple god, he can practice the temple god's divinity law and receive the temple god's gift."

"For example, divine secret arts, divine martial arts, divine weapons, divine crystals, etc...."

Li Qingshan said in a deep voice.

"Moreover, the strength of the resonance of the temple gods is the key to the assessment and evaluation. It determines the children's status in the Divine Sect, whether they will enter the inner sect, the core true teachings, or the outer sect."

Li Che's brows remained furrowed, he still felt it was too dangerous.

After all, that is the mysterious temple of the Four Emperors.

It's like asking a group of children to stand in front of a nuclear warhead and ask who can activate it.

"In fact, the main danger still comes from the cursed corpses that protect the temple. This is why the Divine Sect activated the [Hell Lotus Wind and Fire Golden Light Wheel]. That is one of the Four Imperial Divine Weapons. Although there is only one, it can provide a great protective effect."

"The Wind-Fire Golden Light Wheel has an extremely strong aura of the temple god, and the temple-guarding curse corpse will settle down."

Li Qingshan looked at Li Che, who was still very solemn, and suddenly realized that this boy was paying too close attention to his daughter's safety.

"This is both a risk and an opportunity. If you can obtain the opportunity of the Four Imperial Temple God, you should know how far Xixi can go in the future! At least, it will be easy for her to reach the Divine Appearance, and even the Divine Origin Realm will not be a problem."

Li Qingshan sat upright and became serious.

"Has there been such an action before?"

Li Che was silent for a moment and asked.

"Yes, or it's not just the Qianyuan Sect. Every sect that relies on the Weird Temple will have such a process. The Qianyuan Sect is not an exception. Haven't you seen Lu Chi? He was one of the top three spiritual children who were compatible with the temple god in the last operation. In addition, the Qianyuan Sect of Lingnan Dao will also send a cultivator to take charge of the opening of the Four Imperial Weird Palaces this time."

"After all, this matter involves the Four Imperial Mysterious Temple, and the Qianyuan Sect will not ignore it. Therefore, this is an opportunity for the Qianyuan Sect to take notice of it."

Li Qingshan narrowed his eyes and tapped the tabletop with his fingers. "It's right for you to love and care about your daughter, but she will eventually go out into the world. This is her chance. You can't stop her from going because you're worried about her safety. She needs experience, too."

Hearing this, Li Che finally relaxed his brows.

This is not an isolated case. Many of the divine sects, including the Qianyuan Divine Sect's branches, have taken action before. Since there is a precedent, we can feel more at ease.

Li Che really couldn't keep Xixi completely locked up at home, as this world had powerful divine practices.

Everyone is fighting, everyone is fighting to cross.

Li Che needs to be responsible for his daughter's growth.

"Will there be cultivators from the Divine Sect's Qianyuan Sect coming to preside over the event? If Xixi performs well, will she have a chance to be selected and join the Qianyuan Sect?"

Li Che asked.

Li Qingshan shook his head: "It is possible, but joining the Qianyuan Sect has its own set of procedures. If Xixi can build a divine foundation before the age of twelve, she will have the opportunity to join the Qianyuan Sect."

"But the competition is too fierce. In the entire Lingnan Dao, countless spiritual children have practiced hard for many years, all in order to enter the orthodox sect!"

"Because only by entering the Qianyuan Sect can you have the opportunity to practice the 'Three Purities Method'!"

Three Purities Method!
Li Che's body was shaken violently, and he immediately understood the difficulty of competing with Qianyuan Orthodox.

The difficulty is comparable to that of high school students in a small county in the previous life striving to enter the top two universities in the country!

Li Che's lips and teeth were bitter, no...

He has begun to feel the educational anxiety of being a parent.

"As long as safety is guaranteed..." Li Che sighed.

But my heart has begun to become active.

Xixi enters the mysterious temple of the Four Emperors. Should he follow her?

Exactly...

Leave a seed in the mysterious temple... and set up an anchor for the Flying Thunder Chess Master.

Li Qingshan didn't know what Li Che was thinking at the moment. He smiled and said, "Of course it's guaranteed. The spiritual children are the future of the Divine Sect. How can we just ignore them? Safety is the top priority, but... nothing is absolute."

Li Qingshan's face became solemn.

"You also know that the spirit boy is the future of the branch sect. The branch sect attaches great importance to him, and the Corpse God Sect will also attach importance to him. The Divine Sect has never been on guard against the temple gods, but more against the Corpse God Sect and other people with ulterior motives!"

Corpse God Cult?!

Li Che's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"The threat posed by the Corpse God Cult far exceeds that of the Temple God. This force from Jeju has now almost destabilized the Great Jing Dynasty and occupied three states! The threat is so great that even the Divine Sect dare not underestimate it."

"They are vicious. They will even plunder spirit children who excel in the resonance of the temple gods. If they cannot plunder them... they will choose to destroy them."

Li Qingshan let out a breath. The Corpse God Cult also needed geniuses to form a reserve force.

And one of the ways they acquire genius is through plunder!
Although bewitchment is a method that the Corpse God Cult is good at using, the spiritual children who are trained from childhood are naturally more loyal.

Li Che narrowed his eyes, with murderous intent surging and flashing in his eyes.

He suddenly looked at Li Qingshan: "Senior, you suddenly changed the topic to the Corpse God Cult and aroused hatred. There must be a purpose, right?"

Li Qingshan chuckled, his back suddenly straightened, he rubbed his fingers, squinted his eyes with a gleam of light, and the next words were the main reason why he came to find Li Che today.

"To ensure Xixi can safely participate in the temple god resonance."

"Niu Mo, there is a very wealthy cooperation...I wonder if you are interested?"
