Li Che wasn't as resistant as he had imagined to Xixi joining the Xu Family Divine Cultivation Academy in the Inner City.

The child had grown up, and it was impossible to keep her locked up forever.

That wouldn't be good for her development.

Going to a Divine Cultivation Academy... it was like sending a child to preschool in his past life.

"Ache, does this mean you agree?"

Xu You was pleasantly surprised to see Li Che's agreement.

Old Chen, sitting in a rattan chair, nodded for once: "The environment outside the city has changed; it's much worse now. The Spirit Child Sect is stirring, and the number of spirit children in the outer city has dwindled. They've even started targeting ordinary children..."

"The Inner City is indeed safer than the outer city. Although Xixi is young, her spiritual nature is very high. Starting her cultivation early would be a good thing."

Old Chen, who had never entered the Inner City to avoid the hustle and bustle, now voiced his opinion.

Li Che called Zhang Ya over and told her his thoughts.

"Husband, you can decide... but Xixi is so young, I'm quite worried about her."

Zhang Ya was concerned.

After all, Xixi was only two and a half years old.

"Don't worry, Ache can't enter the Divine Cultivation Academy, but I can. I'll keep an eye on her and ensure her safety."

Xu You spoke up, as it was his suggestion, and he naturally cared about Xixi's safety.

Xixi was going to attend the Divine Cultivation Academy.

The whole family was busy, even Li Che felt a bit melancholy and anxious.

He made a small wooden book box for Xixi, using very light wood, so it wouldn't feel heavy when she carried it.

Zhang Ya was busy sewing new clothes for Xixi, wanting her to look beautiful when she went to the Divine Cultivation Academy, so she wouldn't lose face there.

Three days later.

Light rain fell, and a chill breeze blew. Early spring had just arrived, but it still carried a cold edge.

Xu You personally called for the Xu family's carriage and, together with Li Che, they carried Xixi into it.

"Goodbye, Mama! I'll kick some butt at the Divine Cultivation Academy and come back fat!"

Xixi, carrying the small book box Li Che had made for her, waved goodbye from the carriage window to Zhang Ya, who was biting her lip, reluctant to let her go.

This was Xixi's first time leaving her mother for a long trip, and Zhang Ya was indeed very reluctant.

As the carriage wheels crushed the puddles and gradually moved away, Xixi watched her mother's figure shrink in her large eyes. Her little mouth pouted, and she began to cry loudly.

Li Che held her and comforted her, offering her a candy skewer. The little girl's longing for her mother lasted less than three seconds before it dissipated.

"Grandpa Chen said that Xixi needs to use her little fists to protect herself at the Divine Cultivation Academy, so no one will bully her!"

Xixi clenched her little fists, licking the candy skewer while her eyes still held unshed tears, speaking earnestly.

Li Che smiled and rubbed her head.

"If anyone bullies you, remember to tell your father..."

"Father is best at reasoning with people."

...

...

After sending Xixi to the Divine Cultivation Academy, Li Che was not allowed to enter. He entrusted Xixi to Xu You and then went to the independent workshop Xu You had arranged for him in the Inner City.

The workshop was well-equipped, allowing Li Che to work there during the day and pick up Xixi from the Divine Cultivation Academy when she was done.

The independent workshop wasn't large, as the Inner City was very expensive. Xu You had arranged a courtyard with a small yard, equipped with stone locks and wooden stakes for practicing martial arts in his free time.

In the following days, Li Che's life became more routine. He would send Xixi to the Divine Cultivation Academy in the morning, work and practice martial arts in the Inner City workshop during the day, and pick her up from the academy in the evening.

Of course, during breaks, Li Che would still put on the adorable baby cow mask, wear a rain hat, and go out in the cold rain to hunt for the Spirit Child Sect's experience babies.

In addition, Li Che secretly began to pay attention to and gather information about Si Mu Bai.

"He hasn't left his house for over two months, staying in the deep courtyard of the Si Family... seems like he's seriously injured."

In the workshop, Li Che held a carving knife and carved on the wood he had found. Wood chips fell like snowflakes, scattered on the ground.

After picking up the finished parts and closing his eyes to examine them, Li Che was satisfied and started to pack them up.

Si Mu Bai not leaving his house didn't worry Li Che. Hunting... it required patience.

Breaking into the Si Family mansion to kill Si Mu Bai... Li Che wasn't stupid and wouldn't do something suicidal.

He just had to wait for Si Mu Bai to leave, to find an opportunity.

Moreover, he couldn't engage in a prolonged battle, as the Inner City was different from the outer city, with many strong individuals and rapid reinforcements.

After packing up the finished parts, the maturity of the Dao Fruit [Divine Craftsmanship] continued to increase. Li Che's skills were getting better, and his designs were gradually coming to life.

He was currently improving the [Wooden Crow], planning to enhance its power.

The new mechanism [Bodhi Blood Tears] was also being researched by Li Che, but it was extremely difficult and would take some time, as the main material required was a rare pine wood called 'Blood Red Pine,' which was said to be a type of spirit wood and hard to find.

Li Che placed an order at the market, asking the old acquaintance to search for it. The old man agreed to take the order at a price of one gold leaf per catty, but whether he could find it was still uncertain.

South Bright Alley, Inner City.

In the independent workshop.

Li Che sat cross-legged on the ground. With each breath, the wood chips around him were pushed away like waves, scraping the ground and piling up in the corners.

In his chest, it felt like an ancient bell was clanging, the deep sound echoing continuously.

"Huff—"

"Huff—"

His blood and qi surged like a dragon, invisible shockwaves spreading out with each pulse.

The dragon coiled around his body, winding and spiraling, carrying his blood and qi through six rounds... six rounds!

The strength kept stacking, stacking...

Boom!!

When his eyes opened, they were sharp like a sword cutting through the air.

Li Che stood up, clenched his fist, and slammed it down.

In the courtyard, a wild wind surged!

A white tiger seemed to roar and rise, tangible and vivid, gathering a bit of divine essence from the heavens, forming a white tiger shadow that surged forward for over half a meter before dissipating!

Transformation... White Tiger Chaotic Wind Fist!

Finally, he had mastered the transformation technique of this martial art!

Li Che lowered his fist, his eyes gleaming, and exhaled, his blood and qi converging, and sweat steaming.

"Six rounds of blood and qi, blood transmutation complete... but this is only the completion of the middle-level Six Circulations Blood Change Technique."

Li Che wasn't entirely satisfied. He needed a Nine Circulations Blood Change Technique.

[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (lv3, 10%), Dragon-Elephant Vajra (lv2, 20%), Immaculate Heart Dao Fruit (lv1, 7%)]

He glanced at his Dao Fruits.

On average, they had all increased, not a small amount in just over a month.

The maturity of Immortal Artisan had risen to 10%, thanks to the improved [Wooden Crow], which was quite a pleasant surprise.

With the completion of the six rounds of blood transmutation, the maturity of Dragon-Elephant Vajra had reached 20%, making Li Che's physical training even stronger.

With a mental command, he activated the 'Vajra Transformation,' and his bones crackled and twisted, his bone structure and skin changing.

In an instant, he transformed from a spirited young man into a robust middle-aged man.

After reaching lv2, the active ability of the [Dragon-Elephant Vajra] Dao Fruit became more refined, allowing him to alter his flesh and bones like sculpting clay.

Before, when he activated Vajra Transformation, he would only grow larger, expanding his body instantly into a massive, muscular bull demon.

Now, he could control each part of his body, making it bigger or smaller as he wished.

Boom!

Over Feilei City, dark clouds rolled in like a bandit gang, oppressive and suffocating.

Li Che didn't change back to his original appearance, maintaining the robust middle-aged man look.

He put on a rain hat, tucked the newly carved baby cow mask into his chest, and walked into the workshop, wrapping the improved [Wooden Crow] in a black cloth and placing it in a basket.

After putting on the enhanced black stretch suit, he looked up at the dark clouds.

"It's going to rain."

"Better go and come back early..."

"I still need to pick up Xixi from school."

ps: Follow the story! The next few days are crucial, let's push!
