"Ancestor-Master, I always struggle to master this sword technique, it feels very awkward to execute."
At that moment, Bai Yun ran over.
Perhaps stimulated by Chai Shao, she had also successfully perfected the Sword Stabbing Fist two days ago, achieving the Martial Arts Entrance.
"Xiao Yun, why don’t you demonstrate it for your Ancestor-Master?"
Zhou Buping said with a chuckle.
"Okay, Ancestor-Master."
Bai Yun quickly grabbed her sword and began to practice.
"The issue with your technique is quite apparent..."
Zhou Buping immediately spotted the problem and began offering his guidance on the spot.
Li Qian, upon seeing this scene, simply smiled. Ever since his master knew that both disciples had perfected the Sword Stabbing Fist and achieved Martial Arts Entrance, he paid them even more attention, offering personal guidance every day.
Anyway, up to now, both disciples would consult the Ancestor-Master whenever they had a problem, rather than him as their master.
But he was also happy to have some leisure time.
Time passed, and more than a year went by.
One day, suddenly, an Inner Sect Disciple came up from the Divine Sword Hall.
"Uncle-Master Li, Elder Ancestor has suddenly summoned all Grandmaster-level disciples and above in the sect to the Dao-Seeking Cottage, saying that he has some matters to entrust."
The Inner Sect Disciple spoke after performing a salute.
"Entrust matters?"
Li Qian was initially stupefied, but then his heart skipped a beat as he understood what was happening.
Xiao Heavenly Person probably sensed his impending death and was preparing to arrange his last affairs.
Originally, Xiao Heavenly Person suffered many serious injuries, and his Lifebound Essence Qi was greatly depleted. Though Li Qian gave him an elixir to restore quite a bit of his Lifebound Essence Qi, it ultimately did not return him to his peak condition.
Speaking of which, the fact that Xiao Heavenly Person had lived this long was already beyond expectations.
It’s unfortunate that taking more of that type of elixir could only heal injuries but could no longer replenish Lifebound Essence Qi.
Otherwise, Li Qian would not skimp on giving Xiao Heavenly Person another elixir.
Li Qian said: "You go back first, I will hurry over soon."
After the Inner Sect Disciple nodded, he went back down the mountain.
Li Qian then went to find his master, Zhou Buping, who was busy in the backyard vegetable garden.
His master’s spirit and energy seemed fine, although he had aged quite a bit.
Li Qian hadn’t yet given his master that kind of elixir, mainly because his master had previously taken a Life Gathering Pill. Thus, prolonging the interval between elixir dosages would have a better longevity effect.
Li Qian told his master about Xiao Heavenly Person’s summoning.
Master Zhou Buping’s face immediately turned solemn, understanding that Uncle-Ancestor was about to make arrangements for his last affairs.
Xiao Heavenly Person, as the highest-ranked member of the Divine Sword Sect’s upper echelon, could be described as the linchpin of the Divine Sword Sect. It was under Xiao Heavenly Person’s leadership that the sect had survived its most difficult and dangerous period.
Thus, Xiao Heavenly Person’s prestige in the sect was unmatched.
"Let’s hurry over."
Zhou Buping sighed and then spoke.
Li Qian nodded.
He always held a respectful and reverent attitude towards Xiao Heavenly Person.
Now that Xiao Heavenly Person was about to pass away, it was only right to go and see him off.
