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

Chief Supervisor asked.

At that moment, Lu Yao was also staring intently at the Seven Yuan Divine Image that Li Che had carved.

Yes, it was a Seven Yuan Divine Image!

To be able to carve a Seven Yuan Divine Image was already the scope of a First-Class Guest Official’s duties.

It could be said that the abilities Li Che had shown were completely sufficient for him to become a Second-Class Guest Official.

However, Lu Yao didn’t care about that; what he cared about was the statue of the deity that Li Che had carved.

When Li Che heard Chief Supervisor’s question, he was momentarily stunned, then nodded, “A few days ago, upon entering the Fire Eye Mysterious Awestruck Spirit Ape Strange Temple to observe the Temple God, I vaguely grasped the presence of this Temple God and etched it into my heart, now carving it out.”

Chief Supervisor narrowed his eyes, still smiling cheerfully.

Lu Yao, however, grew serious, leaning in closer and observing continuously, focusing intently.

In the end, he seemed to think of something, his pupils shrank slightly, he stepped back and looked towards Chief Supervisor.

The Chief Supervisor nodded almost imperceptibly.

Lu Yao looked back at Li Che, his eyes extremely bright and somewhat fervid.

“This is a kind of talent, Master Li’s talent in the field of wood carving sculptures is truly astonishing.”

“In all three assessments, Master Li meets the requirements, therefore, Master Li is promoted to the Imperial Heavenly Observatory Second-Class Guest Official, enjoying the treatments of a Second-Class Guest Official and a Minor Supervisor.”

“Your monthly salary will be increased to one Nine Luminaries Divine Crystal, and every half year you will be granted a piece of Eight Extremes Spirit Wood, and you will be given ‘Thousand-Armed Divine Sculpting Technique (Lower Volume)’!”

Lu Yao announced solemnly.

Afterwards, he took back Li Che’s Third-Class Guest Minister Token and handed over the Second-Class Guest Minister Token that had been prepared in advance for Li Che, asking Li Che to imprint his Divine Sense on it.

This token had been prepared in advance, based on Li Che being able to pass the Second-Class Guest Official assessment, a measure taken just in case. Of course, if Li Che had not passed, this token would have failed. Find your next read at My Virtual Library Empire

“Indeed, Guest Official Li being able to reach Second-Class within merely one year, achieving First-Class or even Special Class Guest Minister in the future, none would be a problem,” Lu Yao’s face relaxed slightly.

He patted Li Che on the shoulder, very optimistic about his prospects.

For Lu Yao, Li Che was only in his twenties, very young, and the road ahead was still very long.

The most important thing was that Li Che was actually able to carve such a statue of the deity!

Lu Yao had already recognized it…

This temple god statue…

It bore some resemblance to the Temple God of the Equal Heaven Temple, once overpowering the whole world as the number one Divine Sect!

However, the Equal Heaven Temple had long since declined, and the Temple God had receded back into Qi Tian City, unseen by most.

It was recorded in the Dao City Imperial Heavenly Observatory, so Lu Yao had a vague memory of it.

However, Lu Yao was more astonished that Li Che could actually carve out this Temple God!

To know…

The higher the rank of the Temple God, the more difficult it is to be rendered!

Although theoretically, the higher the rank of a Woodcarving Master, the more likely they are able to carve out higher rank Temple Gods.

But many times, even high-ranked Woodcarving Masters find it difficult to do so.

Because in their minds, it is hard to maintain a clear impression of that Temple God.

Even if they observe the Temple God in person, once they start carving… they will have forgotten it completely.

Often, trying to carve a high-ranked Temple God requires a divine connection.

Clearly, Li Che, having seen this ‘Equal Heaven’ Temple God through the Eight Extremes Spirit Ape Strange Temple, was profoundly significant – too significant!

This is an excellent seedling, and even after conquering Qi Tian City in the future, eliminating the Demon Gods that occupy it, and re-entering to explore Qi Tian City, woodcarving masters like Li Che who please the ‘Equal Heaven’ Temple God will play a huge role.

Of course, although this matter was being planned jointly by the Grand Prospect Dynasty and various Divine Sects, it was still in the distant future, with only the Sect Masters of the large Divine Sects having a chance to know the deeper secrets and arrangements.

After all, those Demon Gods occupying Qi Tian City, siphoning the divinity of Qi Tian Mysterious Temple, have undergone transformations… they are hardly ordinary.

Lu Yao had only heard about it and felt that woodcarving masters like Li Che, who had a divine connection with Equal Heaven, were extremely rare.

“Guest Official Li, would you be interested in heading to Dao City?”

“Dao City, compared to Golden Light Prefecture City, is much more developed whether in terms of conditions for cultivation or the level of Temple Gods you can access.”

Lu Yao began to invite Li Che, aiming to lure him.

Meanwhile, Chief Supervisor glanced sidelong, thinking Lu Yao was quite blatant, digging right in front of him as if he, the Mansion City Chief Supervisor, ceased to exist.

But the Chief Supervisor thought of something, sighed, and yet said nothing.

Li Che did not outright refuse Lu Yao.

Because heading to Dao City in the future might indeed be something he would do.

Xixi now possessed Divine Child talents and after a few more years of training, the educational resources of Golden Light Prefecture City might be somewhat insufficient for her.

By then, Xixi might need to head to the Ganyuan Authentic Divine Sect’s gateways in Dao City.

This has already been arranged for Xixi by Nan Lihuo.

After Xixi turns seven, she will attempt to join the Ganyuan Orthodox Sect.

Even Nan Lihuo has begun to plead with Wang Kuyu, hoping Xixi could be taken under the wing of that Sect Master.

Rumors had it that the Sect Master was going to take on his last disciple.

Xixi did have a chance.

“Dao City… I might have the opportunity to go there later, but for now… my wife and daughter are here, and my daughter has even joined under the sect leader of the Golden Light Sub-sect. If my daughter enters the Orthodox Sect for training in the future, our family will naturally head to Dao City.”

“At that time, we would need Lord Lu’s care and support.”

Li Che saluted with a fist and palm gesture.

When Lu Yao heard this, his face broke into an immediate broad smile, heart set, there was hope!
