Chapter 129: The Myth of Two Overlapping Lives, Bull Demon’s Identity Reported? (2)
The Nine Dragons River surged ceaselessly, splitting into a tributary that flowed through Golden Light Prefecture City, acting like a long knife dividing the city into two.
In the sunlight, the river's tributary did not appear turbulent, gleaming with ripples that looked like a scattering of crushed gold. Gazing into the distance, one could see large ships dotting the waters, raising their sails to race across.
It was rumored that this calm and gentle offshoot of the great river was excavated by a legendary Prefecture Master of the Golden Light Prefecture in the past, redirecting the river into the city and carving out a convenient waterway for the prefecture's transport.
This act didn't just change the water transport and people's livelihood in Golden Light Prefecture.
It also brought a significant improvement to the Divine Cultivators by diluting the divinity from the Nine Dragons River and transporting it into the Golden Light Prefecture City.
With the evaporation of the moisture, the dilute divinity merged into the air, enhancing the concentration of divinity and creating an ideal cultivation paradise for Divine Cultivators.
The city walls of Golden Light Prefecture City were extremely broad. Standing at the city gate and looking around, the ends of the walls were indistinct and stretched further than the eye could see.
Encircled by the city's walls, a green peak rose from within the city, much like the enclosing wall outside the Fucheng, encircling this mountainous green peak within.
"Wow! Daddy, it's so big!"
Xi Xi stuck her head out of the carriage, blinking her large eyes in amazement and shouting in surprise.It was not just Xi Xi who was impressed. Even Li Che felt a slight shock in his heart, given the impact of the ancient city's towering walls was strong indeed.
Far different from what Fei Lei City could compare with.
After paying the entrance fee, the convoy entered the Outer City of the prefecture. Although it was called the Outer City, in reality, it was much more spacious than Fei Lei City's Inner City, with wide cobblestone boulevards that could accommodate ten carriages abreast, and shops lined up on both sides displaying an array of products in dazzling variety.
Li Che felt as if he had suddenly arrived in a prosperous era from a time of disorder at the end of the year.
But he knew this was just an illusion. n?vel.cøm
Cities like Fei Lei City were far too common... Just a bit of strange shock from the release of Mysterious Temple could easily cause the upheaval of a city.
Even a slight nefarious idea from some of those in power in the city could lead to the misery of the people.
Within Yun Province, there were only four Mansion Cities.
Moreover, beneath the façade of any bustling city, there would always be unknown filth and festering issues—this was just an initial contact.
Qian He was very enthusiastic, perhaps because Li Che was a Woodcarving Master, and his attitude was extraordinarily eager.
Upon entering the prefecture, he even found an inn for Li Che and his group.
The standard of the inn was not high, but as a temporary resting place, it was fine. Li Che wasn't picky, although he was now very wealthy, his assets comparable to those of a great noble family.
"Escort Leader Qian, could you do me a small favor? We are unfamiliar with the prefecture, and since it's our first time here, we plan to settle down. So, I'd like to ask Escort Leader Qian to help us find a place to live," Li Che said, handing a ten-tael silver ingot to Qian Biaotou.
"Master Li, you're too polite. Leave it to me, Old Qian," Qian He laughed heartily, unembarrassed as he took the money and left after giving a bow.
After settling into the inn, Old Chen couldn't sit still.
"I'm going out for a stroll to inquire about the Divine Sect Branch's sect assessment for Little Stinky Xi..."
"The sect assessment is still two to three months away. What's the rush?" Li Che, holding Xi Xi, said with a smile.
"I'm going to find out if there are any competitors for Xi Xi... This is important. Although Master Qingshan assured that Xi Xi's Supreme Spiritual Child talent can get into the Branch Sect, once you're in, there are levels like the Outer Sect, Inner Sect, and I heard there's even the core true succession..." ??
"My Little Stinky Xi must enter as a true successor!"

Old Chen hung a liquor gourd on his waist, grinning as he gave a thumbs up.
Li Che couldn't argue with him and let him go.
...
...
Time, much like sand slipping through one's fingers, flowed through the gaps.
A month went by in a blink.
Golden Light Prefecture City.
Outer City, Listening Flowers Lane.
A small courtyard with three entrances.
As the cold winter passed, the early spring chill still cut to the bone, freezing people even through their thick clothes.
Seated quietly under the peach tree in the center of the courtyard, Li Che, dressed in a blackish tight garment, allowed the piercing wind of early spring to hit his body.
Slowly opening his eyes, his body faintly emitted a steaming heat, as if the temperature in the entire small courtyard had risen.
His eyes flickered with passing light.
...
[Name: Li Che]
[Bonds: Li Nuanxi (Daughter)]
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (lv3, 48%), Dragon Elephant Vajra (lv3, 13%), Pure Heart (LV2, 18%), Chess Saint (LV2, 3%)]
[Prototype of Divine Powers: Immortal Worker: Thousand Analyzing Hands, Dragon Elephant Vajra - Ascend]
...
The overall transformation of his Dao Fruit was not insignificant.
In the month since arriving in the prefecture, Li Che had kept a low profile, considering it was his first time here.
Therefore, he spent most of his time practicing cultivation, carving wooden sculptures, creating mechanisms, and improving firepower all within the yard he had purchased.
With his refinement of the single "Wood Raven", employing costly Spiritual Wood and introducing Divinity, the power had increased by a significant margin, now capable of killing a Cultivation as Riverlike cultivator with a single shot.
A Primary God-Base Realm cultivator could be destroyed with at most five shots.
Of course, due to the high cost of materials for the improved "Spirit Wood Raven", the number of pieces he could produce was limited; Li Che had made a total of six hundred shots.
Besides, progress on Namo Immortal Artisan Barrett continued; he had utilized that piece of Seventh Grade Spiritual Wood, Dragon Tooth Boxwood, to create the body of the mechanism, combining Bodhi Blood Tears and the Spirit Wood Raven to bring out piercing power. Li Che tentatively named it "Generation-1 of Southward Immortal Craft Bodhi Barrett".
