Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173: Chapter 140 Accepting a Disciple (Requesting Monthly Ticket)

Chen Bell Platform.

Dong.....

The clear and far-reaching bell sound rang out, breaking the serenity of the Divine Sword Sect.

At this moment, it was still before dawn, the sky pitch black.

Exactly the darkest time before the dawn.

Bathed in the sound of the bell, Li Qian began his first cultivation of the day.

After a long while, he retracted his sword stance, Sword Eighteen sheathed, as his whole body’s aura gradually steadied.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he summoned the system interface to check the latest information.

Heavenly Human Realm (Mid-Phase 91/100).

Chen Bell (Art 9989/10000).

Great River Sword Qi (Second Layer 36/100).

Heartless Sword Intent (Heavenly Phenomenon 21/100).

Qi Blood Holy Realm (25/100).

Lion Camel Ridge Array Solution (Minor Achievement 12/100).

....

Looking at the latest information, Li Qian couldn’t help but smile.

It hasn’t been easy.

Chen Bell is finally about to level up.

His heart was brimming with anticipation.

What changes will occur after the Chen Bell levels up?

It has taken a full twenty-seven years for this upgrade.

Plus, running around outside without striking the bell, it might even take a few extra months, adding up to perhaps twenty-nine years.

Unknowingly, it has been almost thirty-two years since he arrived in this world.

Apart from Chen Bell nearing an upgrade, his cultivation progress has also reached Mid-Phase 91; according to one point per month, it would take another nine months.

However, once Chen Bell levels up, his cultivation speed will increase, and it certainly won’t take nine months.

After the Chen Bell upgrades, how much more effective will it be for cultivating Sword Intent, Great River Sword Qi, and the Qi Blood Holy Realm?

Calming his anticipatory heart, Li Qian stepped down from the bell tower. Liu Ming was busy making breakfast.

With Li Qian’s current cultivation realm, he could resolve his meals by simply taking pills.

He just preferred three meals a day and didn’t want to change anything.

If you even give up eating, what pleasures would be left in life?

Now, the breakfast Liu Ming prepared was no longer a simple pot of Spirit Rice and Exotic Beast Meat porridge.

Instead, it has become more lavish.

Once breakfast was ready, Master Zhou Buping also came in.

The three of them sat down and started eating breakfast.

"Li Qian, I heard the Assessment Hall has just recruited a batch of new Inner Sect Disciples. You know... you have time to take on a disciple; after all, your cultivation is not low," Master Zhou Buping suddenly said after they finished eating.

"Eh... Master, I’m not even an elder, so I’m not qualified to take one. Why don’t you take one instead? I can just be the senior brother," Li Qian replied with a smile.

"You’re already a Great Grandmaster, it’s easy if you want to take a disciple, isn’t it? It’s me who has retired; I really am not qualified anymore," Master Zhou Buping said, a bit speechless about this disciple.

No matter how much you seek simplicity and wisdom, you should at least get yourself the title of an elder.

And... without taking disciples, how can the lineage of the Heartless Sword be passed down gloriously?

"Alas, it seems I won’t have the chance to see the rise of the Heartless Sword lineage before I die," sighed Zhou Bupa, then he left the house with his hands clasped behind his back.

Li Qian had heard of people pestering others to get married, but it was the first time he encountered someone pushing him to take a disciple.

Taking a disciple sounded very troublesome.

"Senior Brother Li...."

Liu Ming suddenly said.

"What is it?"

Li Qian glanced at him.

"I think you really should take a disciple."

Liu Ming suggested.

"Eh... Is it your place to worry about my affairs? Just drink your porridge."

Li Qian snorted coldly.

"Senior Brother Li..."

Liu Ming didn’t shut up; he hesitated to speak.

"Liu Ming, I feel like something’s been off with you lately; what are you trying to say?"

Li Qian eyed Liu Ming, asking.

"Senior Brother Li, I want to get promoted to an Inner Sect Disciple..."

Liu Ming said.

"Oh... you’ve come to a decision?"

Li Qian was very surprised.

"Senior Brother Li, I’ve met a female Inner Sect Disciple... so I’m thinking of serving the Divine Sword Sect for a few years, and then... leaving the sect with her to go back to my hometown..."

A shy look crossed Liu Ming’s face.

Though he was over thirty years old, he was still an earnest person.

"It looks like congratulations are in order."

Li Qian suddenly understood; no wonder Liu Ming appeared to change a lot over the past year — he hooked up with a girl.

After all, Liu Ming had stayed at Chen Bell Platform for a full twenty-one years.

That was by no means a short period of time.

"Senior Brother Li, if I leave, there will be no one to ring the bell for you... so I think you really should take a disciple..."

Liu Ming added.

"That’s none of your concern."

Li Qian shook his head.

Nevertheless, he decided to go to the Inner Sect and take a look at the group of new disciples. If there were suitable ones, taking one wouldn’t be a problem - to help with the bell ringing and cooking meals and such.
