Suddenly,
a gentle breeze stirred, and Li Che's heart skipped a beat; the Dao Fruit of the Chess Saint within his chest vibrated violently in warning.
Under his ink-colored robes, his muscles and tendons resonated together, his great tendons twitching.
An expert!
A great expert!
Li Che swiftly turned his head and caught sight of a figure.
rely standing in the corridor, his presence was as profound as a mountain, his body seemingly harboring countless roaring angry dragons!
Yet Gong Yunli stood to the side, bowing slightly, "Junior Supervisor Gong Yunli from Qintian Observatory, pays respects to Ridge Master Tang."
Li Che turned around and gazed at the towering old man who had appeared behind him.
Quite towering, he was even comparable to his own size when he activated the Dragon Elephant Vajra.
His beard was twisted like a dragon's, his eyes were bright and piercing, his body's muscles seed wrought from twisted steel, radiating a hot and explosive aura at all tis.
The Ridge Master of Divine Carving Ridge, Tang Sanjia!
Li Che clasped his fists and paid respects to this vigorous old man who did not seem old at all.
The old man looked down at Li Che, his slightly narrowed eyes filled with a touch of inquiry, a touch of curiosity.
"You are the talented Divine Sculpture Master spoken of by Li Qingshan?"
"I've heard you've delved into and researched the Way of chanisms?"
Tang Sanjia spoke indifferently, yet his voice echoed like a great bell.
Li Che's gaze sharpened, "Predecessor Qingshan has overpraised , I don't deserve to be called a genius, I just have so understanding."
Li Qingshan had previously ntioned taking him to Divine Carving Ridge, but it was postponed due to his breakthrough to Divine Minister.
But clearly, Li Qingshan had ntioned him to the Master of Divine Carving Ridge.
Tang Sanjia's eyes, sharp as an eagle's in the lofty skies, scrutinized Li Che, and a hint of intrigue flashed in his gaze.
"Thousand Spider Threads?"
"Sleeve Crossbow?"
Li Che was startled; he had concealed his sleeve crossbow and Thousand Spider Threads exceptionally well and had not expected the old man to see through them at a glance.
"You're studying 'Tang's chanism Essentials'? That is the most widely spread blueprint of Tang Family chanism," Tang Sanjia said matter-of-factly.
Li Che smiled, nodded, and started to respond.
A light kindled in Tang Sanjia's eyes.
He beckoned for Li Che to walk alongside him, and Gong Yunli, suddenly finding herself one step behind, had to follow like a maid behind the two n.
Gong Yunli was not annoyed, rely sowhat curious about Li Che.
Who would have thought that Guest Official Li was also skilled in chanical techniques?
It seed quite hidden and unassuming.
Gong Yunli felt sothing was off when she heard Li Che was skilled in chanical techniques, but after further thought, found no fault and did not make the connection that Li Che might be the Bull Demon.
Li Che glanced at Junior Supervisor Gong Yunli's bewildered face from the corner of his eye.
The corner of his mouth twitched.
Deputy Forest Supervisor's assessnt of Junior Supervisor Gong Yunli as 'brains as big as her bust' really was rather apt.
Tang Sanjia led Li Che and Gong Yunli to the reception hall.
He had taken a liking to Li Che, because of Li Che's profound research into Tang Family chanism, which moved Tang Sanjia deeply.
"Using only 'Tang's chanism Essentials', you've studied so deeply, it's clear you really love chanisms..."
Tang Sanjia began to smile.
"It's a pity you're not a descendant of the Tang Family; otherwise... I would certainly take you in and teach you the true succession of Tang Family chanisms!"
Li Che was also impressed with Tang Sanjia's understanding of chanism mastery, "Tang Family's true succession of chanisms?"
"What's the difference from 'Tang's chanism Essentials'?"
Tang Sanjia smiled, poured a cup of tea for Li Che.
"The difference is not big, but the records in 'Tang's chanism Essentials' are ultimately superficial; many details are missing, purely based on groping. Being able to create the ninth-ranked 'Guanyin Blood Lotus' is already extrely difficult."
"As for Wood Raven, Bodhi Blood Tears... it's basically impossible to create."
"But Tang Family's true succession of chanisms is different; it contains detailed manufacturing thods, and also... matching divine secret techniques."
Tang Sanjia was not stingy with guidance.
Since the fall of the Tang Family, the reputation of Tang Family chanism plumted, there were too few young people who liked chanisms these days.
This lad... understands !
Li Che was also moved; talking about chanisms with the old Tang, he gradually stopped concealing and shared all the insights he had on 'Tang's chanism Essentials'.
Even his new research on the Guanyin Blood Lotus, Bodhi Blood Tears, Wood Raven, and other chanisms was shared.
It was a feeling of mutual understanding between chanism masters.
After the conversation, Li Che also felt a sense of having t a kindred spirit too late in life.
His heart stirred, and a fleeting light sparkled before his eyes.
[Dao Fruit: Immortal Artisan (LV3, 95%)]
Looking at the sudden increase in the maturity of Immortal Artisan,
a hint of a different color appeared in his eyes.
This could also increase maturity?
Perhaps...
This is the most fundantal form of 'discussing the Dao'?
Tang Sanjia's appreciation for Li Che grew as he interrupted Li Che's contemplation.
"Young friend Che, do you know why the Tang Family fell?"
Tang Sanjia sipped a large mouthful of tea from his cup.
Gong Yunli, nibbling on snacks to pass the ti, had been unable to understand what the two had been talking about for so long.
She didn't even get to drink tea and now finally heard gossip that made sense to her, she couldn't help but perk up her ears, eavesdropping with curiosity.
Li Che was also curious and inquired.
"Because of four words... 'Presumptuously arrogant due to possession of artifacts.'"
Tang Sanjia placed down his tea cup and said lightly.
"The Imperial Court... set their sights on Tang Family's 'artifacts', helpless, what to do?"
"Those artifacts were... peerless chanical beasts!"
Li Che understood; chanical beasts!
'Tang's chanism Essentials' only briefly touched upon this subject, clearly this was the true secret of Tang Family chanism.
"Yes, peerless chanical beasts, not ordinary chanical beasts... chanical beasts are excellent aids for exploring Mysterious Temples and Strange Ques, and also terrifying weapons of war."
"Given the na 'Presumptuously arrogant due to possession of artifacts,' the Tang Family was eradicated by the Great Vista's old emperor sending troops to destroy them."
