Chapter 282 Daughterʼs 4th Birthday Dao Fruit [Fairy in the Painting], Xi Xiʼs Birthday Canʼt be Without You, Old Chen_4

”This...”

”If I use the Fairy in the Painting to cultivate... the divinity and blood essence cultivated would also revert to myself, right?”

”So, itʼs like having another me cultivating?”

Li Cheʼs mood surged. Originally, he had been worried about his poor divine talent. With the Seven Wheels Divine Base, he had no idea how long it would take to fully gather the Divine Appearance.

But now...

If talent was insufficient, quantity would make up for it!

Create seven of yourself, each according to one of the seven types of divinity, and slowly nurture them!

”However, according to the feedback from the Dao Fruit of the Fairy in the Painting, without actively interrupting or engaging in combat that consumes divinity and blood essence, the Fairy in the Painting can exist for up to three days.”

”Combat consumes blood essence and divinity, so it cannot exist for a long time. But with cultivation replenishing and adding divinity and blood essence, its duration could be extended by a day...”

”But thatʼs only four days...”

Li Che exhaled.

”Understandable, given that itʼs a newly born Dao Fruit. As the maturity of the Fairy in the Painting Dao Fruit increases, the existence time of its duplicates will last longer, and they can cultivate for me a bit more.”

Li Che was in high spirits.

”Apart from the Fairy in the Painting duplicate... creating all things from paintings...”

”Let me try again.”

Li Che gathered his divinity and blood essence and painted a martial arts pill.

He popped it into his mouth and crunched it down with a snap.

Hmm...

It was somewhat sweet.

Useless.

False.

It had only an appearance, no medicinal properties, it couldnʼt sustain itself.

With a slight stir in his mind, Li Che painted a ”Dragon Tooth Bodhi” Bullet.

Suddenly, a brand new Dragon Tooth Bodhi Bullet appeared in his hand, identical to the ones he personally crafted!

The only flaw was...

It was too perfect.

Though it consumed blood essence and divinity... was that really a drawback?

Was that small amount of consumed blood essence and divinity considered a flaw?

Real Dragon Tooth Bodhi required Spiritual Wood and his painstaking efforts.

Even with the skills blessed by the Immortal Artisan Dao Fruit, carving one bullet could take days, if not weeks, and a slight slip could ruin it.

Artisans, though skilled, liked to cut corners. Why painstakingly carve when you could create from nothing?

Fairy in the painting... a military arsenal!

Li Che couldnʼt stop smiling.

This Dao Fruit was fantastic.

Suddenly, Li Cheʼs mind stirred again...

He thought of the Four Royal Divine Weapons, the Purple Flame Serpent Spear, hidden in Xi Xiʼs arm...

His blood surged, and divinity sprouted!

Grind the ink!

Paper please!

Li Che there and then painted a...

Then, there was no then.

The painted Purple Flame Serpent Spear had just an illusionary form, lacking any rank pressure.

Just like the elixir.

Having the appearance, but only the appearance in essence.

Li Che, like a child with a new toy, was thoroughly enjoying himself.

Painting this, painting that...

He even painted his wife, Zhang Ya, who when she stepped out from the paper, sparked a new idea for Bone Tempering and Sinew Opening postures in Li Cheʼs mind.

He glanced at the sky, where dark clouds were rolling and snow was falling.

Winter had arrived; day turned to night quickly.

Li Che did not continue to study the Dao Fruit of Fairy in the Painting, primarily because his divinity was nearly drained.

Painting consumed divinity, blood essence was manageable since he himself boasted a Furnace Grandmaster Physique with a very fast self-healing blood generation rate, but divinity was another matter.

However, before leaving the workshop courtyard,

Li Che painted seven duplicates of the Fairy in the Painting, each with ink mixed with one of the seven types of divinity, each showing different colors, each bearing a different emotion on their faces.

Angry Cry, Extreme Fear, Pensive, Fury, Chaotic Joy, Shocking Boldness, Sorrowful Spirit...

Seven kinds of Divinity, seven kinds of Divine Foundation.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, they earnestly practiced Nurturing Nature. Li Che thoughtfully distributed a Nine Luminaries Divine Crystal to each of his clones.

With this, the Nine Luminaries Divine Crystals he had acquired from Shangguan Zhengheng were completely depleted.
