As a Father, I Just Want to Watch You Achieve Immortality

"Guest Official Li, let’s go."

Gong Yunli said.

After leaving the Qintian Observatory Treasure Building, a luxurious carriage was waiting outside.

The carriage bore the emblem of the Gong Family, belonging to one of the Mansion City’s Five Great Clans.

Li Che climbed in, finding the carriage interior both spacious and comfortable, he couldn’t help but marvel at the extravagance of these noble families.

Gong Yunli also entered the carriage and sat across from Li Che, beginning to boil water and prepare tea.

As soon as they were aboard, the charioteer immediately drove the carriage forward.

The horses neighed, their hooves clattering on the cobblestones, echoing continuously.

"Divine Carving Ridge is located quite far outside Golden Light Prefecture City... it will take some time to get there." Gong Yunli handed a cup of freshly brewed tea to Li Che after preparing it.

"Gong Shaojian, Divine Carving Ridge... it’s part of the prefecture’s power as well?"

Li Che took a sip of tea, asking curiously.

He had limited knowledge previously, but now that he was about to enter Divine Carving Ridge, he naturally had to do some homework in advance.

"Divine Carving Ridge is actually part of the Divine Sect... Dao City Divine Sect has Dao City Divine Carving Ridge, and each provincial sub-sect has its own Divine Carving Ridge."

"Divine Carving Ridge is generally located near the Divine Sect Mountain Gate; Yunzhou Sub-sect of the Qian Yuan Divine Sect is in Golden Light Prefecture, hence Divine Carving Ridge is also situated in Golden Light Prefecture."

"Strictly speaking, it belongs to the Divine Sect’s influence."

"However, in most cases, various major powers of the Mansion City regard it as an independent force."

Gong Yunli said softly.

"An independent force?"

Li Che narrowed his eyes.

Gong Yunli nodded and hummed softly, "Divine Carving Ridge... is more like a gathering place for Woodcarving Masters."

"All the Divine Wood Carvings needed by the Inner Sect Disciples of the Divine Sect Mountain Gate come from Divine Carving Ridge."

"Divine Carving Ridge has a specialized team of Woodcarving Masters."

Gong Yunli took a sip of tea, gazing out of the carriage window at the scenery.

"Is it the same as the Woodcarving Masters who are Guest Officials at the Qintian Observatory?" Li Che raised an eyebrow.

Gong Yunli’s long eyelashes trembled as she looked at Li Che and shook her head, "Not the same; guest officials at the Qintian Observatory can be Woodcarving Masters, Forge Weapon Masters, and so on..."

"And do not restrict status, whereas most Woodcarving Masters at Divine Carving Ridge have passed the assessments for third-class guest official status at the Qintian Observatory."

"Moreover, that Ridge Master of Divine Carving Ridge... he is a first-class guest official at our Qintian Observatory."

After Gong Yunli spoke, Li Che could not help but take a deep breath.

"A first-class guest official?"

Li Che knew the requirements for a first-class guest official, and they were not easy.

A third-class guest official could be any Nine Luminaries Level Woodcarving Master.

Second-class might require the level of an Eight Extremes Master.

A first-class guest official, however, is expected to carve Seven-Element Divine Wooden Sculptures!

Li Che could not help but think of the Seven Yuan Divine Image he saw during Li Qingshan’s Observing Divine Likeness session.

It must have been the work of the first-class guest official from Divine Carving Ridge.

"That Ridge Master... he has a particular status, remember to be polite when you meet him," Gong Yunli advised.

Li Che nodded incessantly, a Master of Seven-Element Wood Carving...

He certainly needed to show a good attitude, as he might not be able to carve a Seven-Element Divine Sculpture himself, yet Xi Xi’s cultivation might require one.

Therefore, to prevent obstruction in terms of cultivation resources for his daughter, Li Che would need to put on a radiant smile.

"By the way, that Ridge Master of Divine Carving Ridge... his surname is Tang."

Gong Yunli recalled something and introduced Li Che.

"Specializing in mechanical techniques."

...

...

After the carriage left the Mansion City, it sped swiftly on the official road.

The charioteer continued to whip the reins, the speed of the galloping horses increasing even more.

Your journey continues with empire

This horse might be of a breed with some demon blood, fast and enduring...

About an hour passed.

The carriage, racing fast as lightning, finally reached its destination.

The carriage entered a small town.

It arrived in front of an extremely spacious mansion at the town center.

"We’ve arrived."

"This is Divine Sculpture Town, under the administration of Divine Carving Ridge."

"Each Divine Carving Ridge has such a town; here you can find Woodcarving Masters to order Divine Wood Carvings, or you can buy Spiritual Wood and so on..."

"The Five Great Clans, the Five Great Sects, Golden Light Sub-sect, Temple Control Bureau, Qintian Observatory, and the City Lord’s Mansion, among others, all have outposts here."

Gong Yunli introduced.

Upon reaching the mansion gates, Gong Yunli presented an introduction letter and they were led inside.

Li Che followed Gong Yunli through a corridor perfumed with the various scents of wood, his gaze extending towards the continuous white mountain ridges covered in thick snow.

The mountains seemed like a slumbering dragon, nestled in the midst of heaven and earth.

After a long walk, passing through the workshop area, they could see a dense array of workshops. They even glimpsed numerous laborers in snowy conditions, their bare torsos steaming in the cold, carefully moving wood carvings.

Li Che couldn’t help but watch a few moments longer, a nostalgic look flashing in his eyes.

In his younger days, he too was a laborer at a wood carving shop.

Divine Carving Ridge, it seemed, was like a giant wood carving shop.

"What are you looking at?" Gong Yunli, seeing Li Che halt, asked curiously, her cheeks slightly reddened by the winter cold.

Following Li Che’s gaze, she noticed the shirtless laborers carrying wood.

These laborers were of modest cultivation, most being mere skin refinement or Sinew Transforming martial artists.

"Gong Shaojian, you might not know..."

"Back then, I was merely a laborer in a wood carving shop, carrying wood for the Wood Carvers... it was my shoulders that lifted up the wood carvings, the timber, and carried my family."

Li Che said with a smile.

"Witnessing such a familiar scene now, I can’t help but be overwhelmed with emotions."

Having said that, Gong Yunli’s eyes trembled slightly.

A laborer from humble beginnings.

Becoming a third-class guest official at the Qintian Observatory...

Indeed, it was quite remarkable.

Gong Yunli couldn’t help but admire him herself.
