Chapter 57: Portable Arsenal, Finally Acquires the Divine Nature Technique!

The Pure Heart's divinity burst forth, tearing a crack in the void before Li Che.

Beyond the crack… there was actually a space!

Mount Sumeru can contain a mustard seed!

Li Che's emotions surged; according to the feedback from the Pure Heart, the jade pendant obtained from Si Mu Bai was a "Divine Artifact," a divinity‑bearing object with incredible properties.

For example, the pendant possesses a storage‑space‑like property.

And the Pure Heart devoured this Divine Artifact, acquiring that property, or rather, it fused the pendant into itself.

His mind linked with the crack, and everything contained within it all surfaced in Li Che's mind.

It was as if a pair of eyes were meticulously observing within the space.

"I said Si Mu Bai, a distinguished scion of a noble family, how could he flee without taking anything? At least some silver notes, gold leaves, etc. should have been on his person. Turns out… they were all hidden inside this Heaven‑and‑Earth Jade!"

"Jade that holds Heaven and Earth can store myriad things…"

Isn't this the legendary storage equipment?

Rain kept pouring, black clouds roiled, roaring over the whole city.

Li Che, under the eaves, happily tallied the day's haul.

Si Mu Bai truly lived up to the great expectations of the Si family; the good stuff he took away… was indeed abundant: gold, silver, jewels, everything imaginable, and besides, various finely carved wooden pieces, many of which even emitted faint divine waves, clearly the work of a master.

Li Che glanced at them, then looked away; he wasn't interested in the carvings, after all, the things he could carve himself were, to him, hardly treasures.

But Li Che had already begun calculating how much those carvings could fetch; certainly not cheap, given they were made by a master carver.

Thus, these carvings were money!

Besides the carvings, what attracted Li Che most was a fist‑sized fragment, emitting a grayish glow and an extremely intense divinity radiating from it.

"Divine Base Fragment!"

Li Che's breath halted.

Even without recognizing it, a single glance made Li Che understand without doubt that this was indeed a Divine Base Fragment.

The emanating divinity made Li Che feel as if he wanted to howl and weep, a strange resentment swirling in his mind, his eyes slightly reddening.

"Such pure angry‑crying divinity is far stronger than Si Mu Bai's divinity…"

"With this divine assault, I cannot block… my spirit cannot block."

Li Che's face grew solemn and horrified; this was only a fragment, yet if a Divine Base cultivator acted personally, Li Che feared his consciousness would be instantly breached, invaded by divinity, and his will completely lost.

"Dealing with a Divine Base cultivator… perhaps only from afar, using the 'Namu Gatling Wood‑Crow', could barely threaten a Divine Base cultivator."

"But even then it's only a marginal threat."

"In the end, my strength is insufficient, my firepower… far lacking."

Li Che inhaled deeply; just by glimpsing the fragment, he knew the terror of a Divine Base cultivator!

However, now such a Divine Base fragment had fallen into his hands.

All bearing the Li surname!

Having not yet extracted the fragment, Li Che now hesitated to touch it; after all, if uncontrolled divinity exposed his location, the loss would outweigh the gain.

Moreover, within the Pure Heart's space, Li Che found the Pure Heart seemed to be slowly refining the Divine Base fragment.

Li Che couldn't help feeling a few expectations for the result after refinement.

His gaze shifted, landing on the other spoils.

Besides that, the biggest gain… was the classic!

"The Si family's superior blood‑exchange method 'Si Tai Chong Nine‑Shift Blood Exchange Method'!"

Li Che's eyes suddenly brightened, his spirit stirred, and a booklet materialized from the Heaven‑and‑Earth Space.

It was indeed the Nine‑Shift Blood Exchange, the blood‑exchange technique of the Si family's main line!

It was also the blood‑exchange method Li Che most needed now.

With this booklet, Li Che could complete the Nine‑Shift Blood Exchange and achieve a perfect exchange.

"Also the Si family's superior internal‑strength method 'Prison Lotus Subduing Ghost Internal Strength Scripture', which can be cultivated to the sixth heaven of internal strength, reaching the pinnacle of the meridian!"

No wonder the Shijia Zhuzu that has stood for centuries in Fēiléichéng boasts such abundant collections.

And the most surprising to Li Che was the Divine Nature Technique!

The Divine Nature Technique he had long coveted…

Finally in his grasp!

"'Nine Star Anger‑Cry Ghost‑Subduing Nurturing Record'! Si family… Divine Nature Technique!"

Li Che couldn't stop the corner of his mouth from lifting, suppressing the urge to burst into laughter.

Indeed, killing, arson, golden belts… becoming filthy rich is that simple and direct.

He had searched everywhere, even spending a fortune, yet could not obtain the Divine Nature Technique, and now he had it.

However, Li Che did not choose to cultivate immediately; there is plenty of time, and he was not in a hurry.

After tallying everything, Li Che confirmed that he had accidentally become filthy rich.

He stood up, patted the 'Namu Gatling', his spirit stirred, and the massive contraption was drawn into the Pure Heart's space.

With another thought, the Namu Gatling materialized in his hand.

Holding that massive thing in and out, playing with it delighted him, making his eyes sparkle.

He stored the traps and hidden weapons like 'Thousand Spider Silk', 'Guanyin Blood Lotus', and so on.

Li Che felt that now he truly had no flaw left.

"Isn't this a natural 'Arsenal'?"

"If I produce more Wood‑Crows and make a hundred 'Namu Gatlings' like this, then when facing a Divine Base cultivator, I can rely on a constant stream of firepower… suppress the opponent!"

"Si Mu Bai… really is a good person."

Li Che felt myriad emotions; this harvest completely exceeded his expectations and imagination.

The greatest gain was the transformation after the Pure Heart devoured the Heaven and Earth Jade!

The strategic significance is too great.

Li Che walked under the eaves, watching the relentless heavy rain pattering down.

He sensed the fading divinity of the Divine Foundation cultivators' battle in the air……

He slowly exhaled a breath.

He knew that the Si family's affair was probably already settled.

"Ended."

"It's time to pick up my daughter from school."

Li Che changed into clean clothes, held up his oil-paper umbrella, and stepped into the gradually drizzling rain.

……

……

Li Che hurried toward the Divine Cultivation Institute of the Xu family.

Although the Si family was ruined, Si Mu Bai had already died.

But Li Che's sense of danger had not fully subsided, after all, Xixi had not achieved true safety.

The entire Fēiléichéng remained shrouded in the oppression and confinement brought by the Spirit Infant Sect.

As a Spirit Child, Xixi had already been listed by the Spirit Infant Sect; as the sect grew stronger, it would surely reveal its fangs and act against Xixi……

Thus, Li Che naturally still felt worried.

The city's clamor had subsided, the mighty pressure of the Divine Foundation cultivators withdrew, and the whole city seemed to become lively and vibrant.

Upon reaching the Divine Cultivation Institute, Li Che saw its gate tightly closed, knowing it was due to the Divine Foundation battle.

Uniform footsteps echoed.

In the distance, Xu Beihu wore a saber at his waist, his tiger-backed, bear-waisted frame striding through wind and rain, leading a Xu family detachment behind him; seeing Li Che, Xu Beihu slightly startled.

"Li Shifu, long time no see."

Xu Beihu's expression, looking at Li Che, bore a hint of complexity.

"Second Manager." Li Che greeted him.

Xu Beihu was the one who taught him martial arts and guided him onto the path of martial arts; Li Che naturally still held some respect and gratitude.

"Outsiders cannot enter the Divine Cultivation Institute; I'll go call for you." Xu Beihu said.

Formerly, Xu Beihu wanted to recruit Li Che under his command, at least to have him on his side, but seeing that Li Che was on good terms with Xu You, he saw no chance to win him over and gave up.

Later, as Li Che displayed his talent, Xu Beihu also couldn't help but feel some regret.

Especially, after being examined by Granny Mu of the Divine Cultivation Institute, Li Che's daughter was even more a top-grade Spirit Child brimming with immense divinity!

Top-grade Spirit Child, as long as she grows up without dying midway, the future…… the chance to forge a Divine Foundation is as high as eighty percent!

Xu Beihu's eyes flickered, thinking of Li Che's daughter's divine talent……

He actually had an idea in mind.

He had mistaken Li Che, but could not miss Li Che's daughter……

"Li Shifu, I have a son, eight years old, with excellent divine aptitude and bones, praised by the old sir himself; Xixi's divine talent is also very good, she is cute and lively, I am very fond of her, and together with my son they are a perfect match of talent and beauty…… I wonder, Li Shifu, are you interested in becoming in-laws?"

Upon hearing this, Li Che's smile gradually faded.

ps: A piece of bad news, the Three Rivers PK failed, we were a little short, helpless. Good news, we still have hope for a strong recommendation PK, everyone continue to support, don't let the books go to waste! Let Lao Li seize this strong recommendation! Lao Li thanks!
