As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 557 - 202: Watching the Ruyi Stick over Qi Tian City, Dao Fruit Transforms Again - Painted Immortal Mo Sha_3

This question arose, and both Lu Yao and the old Chief Supervisor were stunned, staring at Li Che oddly for a while.

They then almost simultaneously sighed and shook their heads.

”The Qian Yuan Divine Sect does not allow disciplesʼ relatives to enter the sect, but it does arrange a free place of residence in Dao City for the relatives of the disciples, and also provides a subsidy every month, thus not mistreating the families of disciples...”

”The Qian Yuan Divine Sect controls several major marketplaces in Dao City. In terms of wealth, even those thousand-year-old noble families cannot compare.”

”So, itʼs not difficult for the Divine Sect to provide free lodging for your family. Otherwise, the cost of living in Dao City is quite expensive, and many people deplete their family wealth and barely scrape by living there... Itʼs not easy to reside in Dao City...”

”But from your question, A Che, it seems you want to enter the Authentic Divine Sectʼs gates to accompany your daughter?”

The Chief Supervisor stroked his beard and said.

Li Che nodded, not concealing his thoughts.

”Family members not being allowed to accompany is a rule of the Authentic Divine Sect, not out of insensitivity, but for a reason... Even those from branch sects who enter Dao City find it extremely difficult to enter the gates of the Authentic Divine Sect...”

”As for the reason, Iʼm not at liberty to say, but youʼll understand once you reach the gates of the Authentic Divine Sect.”

Upon hearing this, Li Che was immediately at a loss for words.

This riddle of a person really deserved a beating.

However, the old Chief Supervisor actually enjoyed the itchy feeling this uncertainty stirred in Li Che. Exactly this emotion, he thought, could compose a beautiful erhu tune.

”Becoming an Elder of Divine Carving Ridge is indeed an excellent path, but the difficulty is too great. Although you are a Second-Class Guest Official of the Heavenly Oversight... the hope is really slim.”

The Chief Supervisor stroked his beard, heaving a deep sigh, not optimistic about Li Cheʼs chances.

”Even with Elder Jiaoʼs recommendation, those competing for the position of Elder are those old men, mostly First-Class Guest Officials from our Heavenly Oversight, and if unlucky, even Special Class Guest Ministers...”

”The positions of Elder at Divine Carving Ridge are not fixed; they are rotated every three years, but there are only so many slots, and with the appearance of new ones, naturally, there are old ones who get phased out...”

Lu Yao, who was standing beside, turned to Li Che and interjected, ”As far as I know, in the past nine years, Divine Carving Ridge hasnʼt seen the emergence of a new Elder...”

”Every Guest Official from the Heavenly Oversight who competes for the Elder slots, including some Woodcarving Masters nurtured by noble families and the like, all failed.”

”If you really want to compete, you at least need the standard of a first-class upper-tier Woodcarving Master.”

Lu Yao said.

Li Che inquired puzzlingly, ”First-class upper-tier?”

”That is, you need to at least possess the skills to produce a mid-grade Divine Wood Carving of the Six Ministries.”

Lu Yao directly stated.

Upon hearing this, Li Che couldnʼt help but become solemn.

”Thank you, Lord Lu and Lord Chief Supervisor for the clarification.”

Having obtained the information he wanted, Li Che did not linger and bowed before departing.

...

...

A breeze fluttered, lifting strands of hair.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

As the Third Princeʼs Mysterious Temple returned to normal, the weather also settled, no longer stormy but returning to the cold winterʼs snow.

Under the eaves, Li Che sat cross-legged, eyes slightly closed.

Within the Mud Pill, his Primordial Spirit radiated brightly, as he continued to study the recently acquired Three Purities Divinity Method.

Three days had passed, and he hadnʼt even reached the entry level yet.

”My Divine Talent... shouldnʼt be this poor, should it?”

Li Che nearly doubted himself.

”The Law of Heaven and Earth Spirit Bright True Ape... seems not to follow the Path of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires!”

”Even if I wanted to change my cultivation method, I donʼt know under which Divinityʼs Divine Foundation I should train.”

This was the challenge Li Che faced over the three days.

He tried to practice but couldnʼt find the way.
