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

"A good young man who practices the divine method?"

Li Che's eyes narrowed, but he was not too surprised.

He had thought about it earlier, what was so special about the so-called Spirit Infant that made the Spirit Infant Cult care so much about it.

It must also be related to divinity.

"The methods of the Spiritual Infant Cult should be a bit vicious and despicable. If Xixi falls into their hands, she will be raised and raised. When she grows up and becomes rich in divinity, she will be forcibly devoured and extracted..."

"It's definitely not a good thing to become a fostered spiritual baby..."

Lao Chen took a sip of wine, shook his head and said solemnly.

That was definitely not a good thing. Li Che knew that, so he had been walking on thin ice since Xixi was born.

Frowning his brows, Li Che was thinking about countermeasures and how many years it would take for him to grow up to the point of being able to single-handedly destroy the Lingying Cult...

He has the blessing of the Tao Fruit bound to his daughter, and as he grows slowly, he will always become stronger.

Gently stroking the back of Xixi's head, the little girl's ignorant eyes blinked, sparkling with innocence and innocence.

Old Chen breathed out: "Actually, it is not impossible to deal with the crisis brought by Lingying Sect."

Li Che glanced at Lao Chen, doubts flashed in his eyes, and motioned for him to continue.

"Spirit babies are rare, but they are not non-existent. The soul babies born by common people are pitiful, just like lambs. They usually have a hard time growing up and are targeted at a very young age. Not only the Ling Ying Cult, but also some other The sects that have inherited from the strange temple will also keep an eye on the spiritual infants for hunting."

Old Chen looked solemn.

"But if you can survive until you're four, you'll have a chance to survive."

Li Che was startled.

"Four years old...anything to say?"

Old Chen smiled and said: "Without him, the court would take action."

The imperial court?

Li Che looked slightly stunned, almost forgetting about the imperial court.

Feilei City... was basically divided up by several wealthy families in the inner city, and the power was in their hands. The imperial government offices were in name only. Apart from taking care of some civilian disputes and the like, they were generally ignored by the wealthy families.

Lao Chen took a sip of old rice wine and shook his head: "Xiao Li, don't underestimate the imperial court. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention... Da Jing is not skinny yet. Although the imperial court has declined, it is still One of the most powerful forces in the world, even the great divine sects, do not dare to ignore the imperial court. "

"Feilei City is mainly remote, and the Weird Temple is located in an isolated location, so it is somewhat out of the jurisdiction of the imperial court. It does not mean that it is completely ignored."

"You see, the government office and court today are in vain, but how can several wealthy families dare to ignore it?"

"The imperial court will conduct a screening test every four years. If the spirit infant contains divinity, it will be recruited and trained by the imperial court. Now, the right to screen and test is distributed by the government to several wealthy families in Feilei City. "

When Old Chen said this, he glanced at Li Che.

Li Che nodded slightly: "So, as long as Xixi lives safely to the age of four, is selected to have divine talents, enters the Xu family to practice, and can practice the divine method, she can be protected by the Xu family and be safe and worry-free?"

"Exactly."

Old Chen laughed.

"If the imperial court regains control of Feilei City, several wealthy families will still have to return the selected divine children to the imperial court..."

Li Che frowned: "How could the noble family be willing to send it back?"

Lao Chen took a sip of wine: "How could the imperial court not understand... So, what do you think is the purpose behind this decree?"

"It's not that the Dajing court doesn't care, but that it's too lazy to care. Weird temples are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Almost every city will have one or several weird temples..."

"If every weird temple is managed, how can the imperial court manage it? So... the power is delegated to the wealthy families in the major cities, and they are left to deal with the weird temples."

"These divine seedlings screened out will naturally be used by the aristocratic family to supplement their talents."

Li Che couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.

Old Chen narrowed his eyes: "In addition, Shenzong will also come every four years to screen to see if there are any children with divine nature, and bring them back to the sect for training. This can be regarded as competing with the imperial court for people, but Shenzong requires more information. Higher, those who can meet the requirements are generally the children of wealthy families who have been carefully cultivated."

Li Che was naturally very confused about the cultivation forces in this world, but now that he heard what Lao Chen said, he actually had some clarity.

"It would be best if you could enter the Shen Sect to practice, but the Shen Sect's requirements for selecting disciples are too high..."

Old Chen shook his head sadly, a complex look flashed in his eyes.

Li Che heard that there seemed to be a story in his words, so he poured a glass of wine, hugged Xixi, and blinked, the fire of gossip burning brightly.

But Lao Chen rolled his eyes, but just drank and didn't say another word.

Li Che felt a little regretful, so he asked: "Old Chen, are there any martial arts for sale at your place? If so... how many can you sell me?"

Lao Chen just took a sip of wine and almost choked to tears.

"Do you think martial arts are just a piece of cake? How many more... Strictly speaking, martial arts are much more precious than skin grinding and pulse opening. Although I have some in my study, they are not many. "

When Li Che heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he became more and more interested in Lao Chen's study.

"Martial skills are something with obvious styles. The martial arts of major aristocratic families cannot be taught personally. If you try to learn them, you will be punished, that's all... Which type of martial arts do you want?"

Old Chen hammered his chest, and after taking a breath, he lost his breath.

"I can do it, as long as I can practice it... Are you always looking to sell me?"

Li Che hugged Xixi, and the father and daughter smiled almost simultaneously.

…

…

The years pass by, and the seasons flow by.

One month later.

Feilei City, Chunfeng Lane.

In the small courtyard with the door closed, the snow in the courtyard has melted away, and the hot air flow is intertwined like a dragon, hitting the loquat trees planted in the courtyard and shaking continuously.

Li Che's upper body was naked, and under his bronzed skin, there seemed to be a surge of qi and blood. During the roar, the skin membrane was slapped and made a muffled sound like a drum, like thunder behind the clouds.

Big sinews like horned dragons appeared on the body, squirming and tightening, like a big bow stretched tightly.

boom!

The energy leaked out, and the remaining snow suddenly exploded.

Slowly gathering his inner energy and blood, Li Che opened his eyes, shining in the haze, like two sharp blades tearing through the thick fog.

The muscles all over his body slowly relaxed, and his black hair curled wildly.

Putting on his thin shirt, Li Che waved his arms with a smile on his lips.

His eyes narrowed and a hint emerged.

[Tao Fruit: Dragon Elephant King Kong (lv1, 50%)]

He twisted his neck, his spine tensed, and his tyrannical energy flowed.

"In one month, I opened nine tendons, and the Xu's method of opening the tendons was perfect... Yes, I got better faster than I thought. Sure enough, everything is inseparable from my diligence and hard work."

Raising his hand, energy surged wildly, and nine snake-like inner energies circled outside his palm.

"The inner strength of the snake has also reached the second level of heaven, and it can barely be released outside."

"Sure enough, the Dragon Elephant Vajra Dao Fruit is a great blessing to martial arts practice..."

"[Immortal Craftsman] improves my wood carving skills, and [Dragon Elephant King Kong] improves my martial arts talent. It's good. I wonder what type the third Dao Fruit will be?"

Li Che couldn't help but look forward to the third Dao Fruit that his daughter Xixi would give birth to after she turned two years old.

"In addition, I have successfully mastered the Zhongcheng martial art "White Tiger Chaotic Wind Fist" from Lao Chen to a small level. This kind of horizontal martial arts is really easy for me to practice."

"However, one martial skill is indeed missing. After completing the wood carving transaction with Mr. Sijia tomorrow and getting the gold leaves, I will go to the market again to see if I can get another martial skill to increase my own. Offensive ability.”

Li Che put on a thin shirt and started boxing directly in the courtyard. The wind roared like a tiger blasting into the wind and waves. Countless white snow rose up, melted into water under the energy and blood, and turned into ice again when it hit the ground.

After finishing a set of punches, Li Che finally stopped his efforts with satisfaction.

Xiaocheng's White Tiger Chaotic Wind Fist, combined with Vajra Transformation, is extremely terrifying.

But... it's not enough.

After returning to the back room and cleaning himself with hot water, Li Che bought a box of sweet-scented osmanthus cake that his wife loved and returned to the wood carving shop.

Wearing a cowhide apron, Li Che sat on a chair. In front of him was the "Nine Guanyin Avalokitesvara Crying to Suppress Ghost Statue" that took a month to carve.

Picking up the tool, [Immortal Worker] Daoguo trembled slightly, calmed down, entered the carving state, and focused on the finishing work.

In the workshop, only the rustling sound was left.

Wait until the last process is completed.

A golden light suddenly flashed in front of Li Che's eyes.

The next moment, a prompt appeared in front of me.
