Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 - 22: It is discourteous not to reciprocate.

Song Yingying left.

Li Qian promised to help her resolve this trouble.

Elder Song had taken good care of him before his death.

Both emotionally and rationally, he could not just stand by idly.

After all, he now had the capability to help.

According to Song Yingying, the one causing trouble was Yan Song, an Official Disciple of Inner Sect from Dishui Peak, mentored by elder Mu Hai. Although not a True Inheritor, his status was much higher than that of an ordinary Official Disciple.

Being a servant disciple, naturally, Song Yingying could not have gotten this information herself; it was Yi Zhong who secretly told her before he left.

Li Qian had never encountered an Official Disciple of the Inner Sect, and he hadn't even entered the Inner Sect himself.

After eating dinner.

Li Qian went down the mountain.

He arrived at the Chores Hall.

When he was a servant disciple, this Chores Hall had great authority over him.

But now, as an Official Disciple, to the people of the Chores Hall, although he might not be unapproachable, they wouldn't dare to underestimate him.

As soon as he showed his token of Official Disciple, immediately a Vice Hall Master of the Chores Hall came to attend to him.

"My name is Xu Wei, Vice Hall Master of the Chores Hall. I wonder what instructions does the Senior Brother have; our Chores Hall will certainly comply."

This Vice Hall Master was of considerable age, yet in front of Li Qian, he was extremely respectful, directly addressing him as Senior Brother.

Manager, Vice Hall Master, or even Hall Master of the Chores Hall are all servant disciples, just ones who have strong connections within the Divine Sword Sect.

Even some of them are intricately connected to Official Disciples, True Inheritors, and elders of the Divine Sword Sect.

"Vice Hall Master Xu, no need for formalities. Indeed, I do have a matter to request. Would you be able to contact Senior Brother Yan Song from the Inner Sect's Dishui Peak?"

Li Qian said.

"Senior Brother Yan Song?"

Vice Hall Master Xu was stunned. Why would one Inner Sect disciple contact another through their Chores Hall connection?

"I've only been an Official Disciple for about a year, so I'm not familiar with Senior Brother Yan Song."

Li Qian explained.

"Please rest assured, Senior Brother. I will definitely help you contact Senior Brother Yan Song."

Vice Hall Master Xu quickly said.

"Good, if there is any news, you can send someone to notify me at the Bell Platform."

Li Qian nodded and said.

"Turns out it is Senior Brother Li Qian of the Chen Bell Platform. Rest assured, I will notify you immediately."

Vice Hall Master Xu quickly said.

As the Vice Hall Master of the Chores Hall, he kept careful track of the servant disciples' movements.

In less than three years' time, for a servant disciple to be promoted to Official Disciple at the Chores Hall is exceedingly rare.

Chen Bell Platform's Li Qian... is now a legendary figure in the Chores Hall.

Privately, the people of the Chores Hall had all discussed it.

As a servant disciple, Li Qian was always inconspicuous until just before he became an Official Disciple, almost nobody had heard of him.

Who could have anticipated that he would rise rapidly, skyrocketing to the ranks of the lofty Official Disciples, making those old folks at the Chores Hall green with envy.

....

A few days later.

After the rain, the weather cleared up.

The air was extremely fresh.

A figure in brocade arrived within the bell tower.

"Senior Brother Yan."

"Junior Brother Li."

The two greeted each other as if they were old friends.

Yet actually, this was their first meeting.

"Senior Brother Yan, this place is modest, please excuse any shortcomings."

Li Qian said with a light smile.

"Junior Brother Li, this place, with its beautiful scenery and serene atmosphere, is an excellent place for cultivation. How can it be considered modest?"

Yan Song said.

Suddenly changing the topic, he asked, "Junior Brother Li sought me through the Chores Hall, may I know what matter it is?"

"Does Senior Brother Yan know how I became an Official Disciple?"

Li Qian said.

"Of course, Junior Brother Li passed the retest to become an Official Disciple."

Yan Song's heart sank slightly, then he said.

"Of course not."

Li Qian sighed, shook his head, and said.

Yan Song's expression changed subtly, as he thought of a possibility that Li Qian had used a treasure map as advancement material to obtain the status of an Official Disciple.
