Chapter 211: Xi Xi’s First Fireworks Show, Divine Sect Elder Tries to Recruit Early (4)
Li Che, standing by, felt an intense pang of envy.
After paying a dutiful visit to Nurse Momo, Li Qingshan approached Li Che and pulled over a Taishi Chair to sit down, the two sitting side by side.
"Senior, I have a little doubt," Li Che said to Li Qingshan seriously.
"Speak," Li Qingshan said with a smile.
"When you tested my divine talent, you said I was also a Supreme Spiritual Child... why don’t I need to go up on the stage?" Li Che asked, pursing his lips.
Li Qingshan looked at Li Che with disdain: "You should have some shame. With your martial and divine cultivation, do you really think it’s appropriate to go up there?"
"Do you want to destroy these kids?!
Li Che: "..."
"You’re twenty-two years old. Do you really have the nerve to compete with these youngsters?" Li Qingshan shook his head: "After Xi Xi joins the Divine Sect, I will take you to ’Wood Carving Ridge,’ which makes you a member of the Divine Sect too."
"Wood Carving Ridge is well-suited for you, with plenty of Spiritual Wood for you to work with," Li Qingshan continued.Li Che responded with a smile, "No, I didn’t mean that..."
"Isn’t there an opportunity for the Spirit Children to enter the Third Prince’s Mysterious Temple within a hundred feet range and undergo the Temple God Resonance trial?"
"I think I could also try resonating..."
Li Qingshan suddenly realized Li Che’s intention was to observe the Four Royal Mysterious Temples at a close distance.
Observing the Temple Gods in the Mysterious Temple is a thought every Woodcarving Master harbors. It’s a common sentiment, understandable.
But Li Qingshan was somewhat uncertain: "I’ll have to ask the Sect Master about this later..."
"Strictly speaking, you can’t participate in the Temple God Resonance."
"Why not?"
"Although your divinity is as youthful as that of a Spirit Child, you are simply... too mature."
Li Qingshan chose his words carefully.
Li Che was speechless. Why not just say he was too old?
Li Qingshan glanced at him, hesitated, and then said: "Can you imagine yourself, with Nezha braids and wearing a red bellyband, standing in front of the Mysterious Temple, striking poses?"
Li Che opened his mouth.
Was Temple God Resonance... like this?
"After all, it’s the Eight-Armed Prison Lotus Wrathful Third Prince’s Sinister Temple. Naturally, some semblance is needed to more easily induce the resonance with the Temple God..."
"Like Lu Chi, he still wears Nezha braids to this day, just to maintain resonance with the Temple God and to more readily absorb the Temple God Divinity..." 𝘳�
"If you can accept it... it wouldn’t hurt to give it a try."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Li Qingshan’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but grin.
Damn, although the thought burns the eyes, he was very curious as to what it was all about?
Li Che couldn’t even bear to imagine it and waved his hand dismissively: "Never mind, let’s talk about it later..."
Li Qingshan nodded and then took on a more solemn expression.
A voice resonated in Li Che’s ear; it was the proficient use of the Divine Sonic Transmission.
"Bull Demon, let’s talk about a collaboration," Li Qingshan transmitted.
Li Che’s eyebrows raised. His Pure Heart Dao Fruit trembled slightly, quickly decrypting Li Qingshan’s method, which was a special divine vibration technique.
"Please speak, senior," Li Che replied via the Divine Sonic Transmission.
Li Qingshan was taken aback, surprised that Li Che had mastered the Divine Sonic Transmission so quickly.
"Today, many powerful figures have gathered in Golden Light Prefecture City: the Five Great Clans, the Five Major Sects, the Divine Guard Army, the Temple Control Bureau, the Qintian Observatory, and even the Divine Sect Branches... almost all the powerhouses are present."
"This opportunity is very rare..."
"Aren’t you able to detect the Corpse Curse Mark? This is an excellent chance to do some detecting... to see... just how many demons and ghosts are hiding!" Li Qingshan conveyed seriously.
Li Che’s eyes sharpened. So, Li Qingshan had been waiting for such an opportunity, where hidden powerhouses from the Five Great Clans and the Five Major Sects would show up during the Divine Sect’s induction trial.
Such an investigation would be the most comprehensive!
Li Che thought for a moment and did not refuse.
But he made one thing clear ahead of time.
"If the other party is marked with a corpse curse beyond the Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal... I wouldn’t be able to detect it," he said.
"The Eight Extremes Corpse Curse Seal... no matter. Later, when the second round of purple qi detection starts, it will be a grand occasion; you can take the opportunity to detect the Corpse Curse Marks. Record the names you find, and I’ll have Shangguan Qinghong come over. If you encounter someone you don’t recognize, just ask her directly."
After carefully transmitting the message, Li Qingshan cut off the divine connection, stood up, and patted his green clothes.
After exchanging a meaningful look with Nurse Momo once more, he casually strolled back and resumed his hunched over figure on the Divine Sect’s high platform.
Li Che sat in the chair, lightly tapping the armrest of the Taishi Chair with his fingers.
...
...
On the high platform.
Upon Li Qingshan’s return, Zhu Hong Dou approached him, her red robe billowing. She stared at him, causing his expression to change subtly.
"Elder Zhu, why are you staring at me like that?" Li Qingshan asked somewhat guiltily.
He hadn’t told Zhu Hong Dou about what he was planning to do.
"Old Li, are you familiar with Xi Xi’s father?" Zhu Hong Dou asked indifferently.
Feeling relieved, Li Qingshan replied: "Li Che, huh... That kid is quite nice, gentle and modest, and his talent’s pretty good too."

"Then talk to him, and let him know that joining my Red Cloud Peak is the best fit for Xi Xi," Zhu Hong Dou said earnestly. "All my Red Cloud Peak disciples are female. Tell Li Che to rest assured, no boy would dare bother Xi Xi!"
In short, Red Cloud Peak had no rabble-rousers!
Immediately, Li Qingshan understood what Zhu Hong Dou was up to.
She was making a move!
And to think, the first part of the induction trial for the True Successor had just ended...
Elder Zhu Hong Dou of the Divine Sect Branch...
Was she planning to poach ahead of time?!
