As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality Chapter 1588: Who Ranks Above King Yan in the Underworld’s New Members, Grandmaster Zhao Will Be Healed Upon Entering My Underworld
Previously on As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality...
A soft laugh escaped Lv Taibai as he exhaled deeply.
"The pressure bearing down on the Qian Yuan Divine Sect is overwhelming right now, and that Old Dragon God's tyranny knows no bounds... relying solely on our Grandmaster might prove insufficient."
"As the Sect Master, the responsibility to stand firm falls on me..."
Fang Hanshu’s expression wavered, his fingers tightening into a fist.
"The danger is too great... the Dao Position you have targeted is the Destroying God Wind Dao Position, and while the Evading Tribulation Wind Pill might allow one to endure the Three Tribulations Wind, surviving the catastrophe of the Destructive God Wind is another matter entirely... it is nearly impossible!"
"Your chances are less than ten percent; such a gamble isn't worth your life!"
Fang Hanshu offered his warning in a somber tone.
With his silver hair billowing, Lv Taibai laughed with abandonment, a profound light gleaming in his eyes: "That Old Dragon God... he was willing to bow his proud head for the sake of his lineage's survival, ensuring the Dragon God Clan could endure on land by submitting to the Imperial Court..."
"How can I, as a leader of this sect, remain idle?"
"I am just as capable of sacrificing everything for my sect!"
Lv Taibai spoke with heavy conviction.
"A success rate of ten percent... is plenty!"
"My wife has already dispatched a formal plea for assistance to the Xuanfu Divine Sect..."
"Though I cannot be certain if the grandfather of Seven Kills will provide aid, one's destiny must be seized by one's own hands. If that old loach is prepared to fight, then I, Lv Taibai..."
"Am prepared to fight as well!"
Li Che and Fang Hanshu both lapsed into silence.
Lv Qiankun gazed at his disciple with a sense of pride; the boy had truly matured at last.
"A Che, I require your assistance..."
Lv Taibai turned his pleading gaze toward Li Che.
"I understand."
After a brief pause, Li Che accepted the collection of resources Lv Taibai had assembled. It was clear these materials had been gathered over a long period, and despite consulting Gu Changqing, it seemed approval had never been granted...
Lv Taibai had likely foreseen this day and sought to craft the Evading Tribulation Wind Pill ahead of time. Unfortunately, since the Heavenly Pill Divine Sect had aligned itself with the Imperial Court, they naturally refused to entertain Lv Taibai’s request.
Lv Taibai felt a surge of relief; with the Underworld involved, the success of this pill felt certain.
Simultaneously, Li Che detailed the specific medicinal ingredients required to concoct the [Nine Revolutions Rising Dragon Pill] to Fang Hanshu.
"What is the purpose of these materials... what exactly are you planning to refine?"
Fang Hanshu looked on with confusion.
Despite his vast erudition, he was unable to immediately recognize the specific alchemical recipe Li Che intended to pursue.
Li Che offered only a smile, leaving the question unanswered.
"Very well, I shall head to the sect's treasury to secure these for you. Even if some are rare, our proximity to Divine Carving Ridge ensures we aren't lacking in supplies; I should have them ready shortly."
Fang Hanshu spoke casually before departing to organize the materials.
The others followed suit, gradually dispersing from the area.
After all, Qianyuan Dao City remained under a shadow of immense peril. While Li Che’s breakthrough had alleviated some anxiety, it wasn't a total solution to their predicament.
Li Che looked toward Zhang Ya, pulling his wife into a gentle embrace and whispering softly.
He then turned back to resume his solitary Cultivation.
Advancing to the Martial Saint Four Transformations...
Li Che knew his schedule was about to become incredibly demanding!
...
...
Standing above the Grand Canal with his hands clasped behind him, the Old Dragon God watched the surging waves before squinting his eyes toward Qianyuan Dao City.
"Such untainted Qi-Blood and an unyielding Martial Dao Will; this is someone ascending to the very peak of Martial Arts!"
The Old Dragon God’s gaze narrowed, a hint of gravity appearing in his expression.
Could Qianyuan Dao City truly harbor such a formidable individual?
Xie Yun Shen, his robes fluttering as he waved his feather fan, chuckled and remarked: "It is likely the breakthrough of Li Half-Saint. However, even with such progress, he remains nothing more than a Martial Saint..."
Xie Yun Shen did not hide his master's identity, but by highlighting that Li Che was only reaching the Martial Saint level, he successfully blunted the Old Dragon God’s suspicion.
Xie Yun Shen possessed sharp intuition; he realized that after achieving the Martial Saint Four Transformations, his lord’s combat prowess would be drastically magnified.
The peace would not last; movements were inevitable...
Since the Old Dragon God was a massive hurdle that had to be dealt with, Xie Yun Shen had taken the initiative to engage him.
By downplaying Li Che’s significance, he provided a subtle layer of protection.
The Old Dragon God smiled faintly at the comment: "True, merely a Martial Saint... yet this Li Half-Saint possesses frightening talent. In a mere seven years, he rose from nothing to the Absolute Peak..."
"If he is granted more time, he might eventually rival a figure like the Dajing Grand Ancestor, Lu Taicang!"
Xie Yun Shen squinted: "Dragon God Senior, isn't that a bit of an overstatement?"
The Old Dragon God laughed loudly, glancing at Xie Yun Shen: "Young man, you will only understand once you have suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of such a genius..."
"I am not exaggerating in the slightest; if anything, I am being cautious."
Xie Yun Shen simply offered an indifferent laugh in response.
Old Loach, you truly have no idea.
...
...
Back within the study.
Having finished his breakthrough, Li Che triggered the Heaven and Earth chessboard once more to shield himself from any prying eyes.
He sat in his chair as steam rose from his hot tea.
Taking a sip, he flicked his wrist, summoning the Soul Capturing of Gu Changqing. This Alchemy Saint had proven to be an invaluable asset...
"My Lord!"
The soul of Gu Changqing greeted him with deep respect.
Li Che produced the recipe and the ingredients for the Evading Tribulation Wind Pill that Lv Taibai had requested and presented them to Gu Changqing.
"Are you capable of refining this?"
Li Che inquired.
Gu Changqing scanned the recipe and immediately broke into a confident smirk: "A Four Imperial Upper Heavenly Pill? It is well within my capabilities to refine, no trouble at all..."
Gu Changqing held immense pride in his craft; his skills had long since surpassed the common boundaries of an Alchemy Saint.
