Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 226

Chapter 226: Chapter 172: Damned Humans, Don’t Even Think About Snatching My Body (Seeking Monthly Ticket)

Before dawn, Li Qian returned to the Chen Bell Platform.

Dong!

The clear and distant sound of the bell rang out.

It was the disciple Chai Shao striking the bell.

The little White Fox in his arms seemed to be awakened by the bell, its small head poking out, its tiny eyes curiously looking around.

Several disciples were all cultivating.

Li Qian entered the bell tower, took the little White Fox from his embrace, and then took out a Feeding Pill, scraped some of the medicine powder into the water, and wrapped it in True Qi before sending it into the little White Fox’s mouth.

The little White Fox sucked and swallowed.

After finishing, it closed its eyes and fell asleep.

Li Qian took a basket, lined it with clothes to make it comfortable, and created a nest for it.

Then, Li Qian sat cross-legged, took out a demon stone, and began to absorb the energy within it to elevate his Qi Blood Holy Realm.

Since he had quite a few demon stones on hand, he had tried to let his senior disciple Chai Shao absorb a demon stone to further cultivate the Pure Holy Body.

However, Chai Shao’s progress was extremely slow.

Mainly because absorbing demon energy into the body produced an intensely strong sensation of pain.

Even with Chai Shao’s tenacious character, it was somewhat unbearable.

Furthermore, when absorbing and refining the demon energy, it caused damage to the body, which could only slowly be nurtured and repaired, leading to Chai Shao’s very slow cultivation speed.

At this rate, it was simply impossible to cultivate the Pure Holy Body.

But this was also normal; the main reason Li Qian was able to endure such agony and eventually succeed was mainly due to the Chen Bell.

The Chen Bell could ease the pain and restore the damaged body; Chai Shao did not have such conditions.

From the reactions of those Demon Saints, the Qi Blood Holy Realm specifically subdued the Demon Race, and even outside it must be extremely rare; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so shocked.

Hoo!

After a session of cultivation, Li Qian opened his eyes and suddenly turned his gaze to the peacefully sleeping little Demon Fox, a thought flashing through his mind.

He was a bit worried that the Devil Thought inside the little White Fox had not dissipated.

This was a hidden danger.

The best method would be to kill it outright, once and for all.

Only, with a Lightness Level Talent, Li Qian felt that killing it directly would be a waste and it could be put to good use.

"Perhaps, I can refine this little White Fox into a permanent Blood Puppet."

Li Qian stroked his chin.

In the second progression state of the Qi Blood Holy Realm, every bit of progress allows the transformation of one Blood Puppet.

These Blood Puppets are temporary in nature, and after some time they would collapse.

However, it does not mean that a Blood Puppet cannot be refined into a permanent one.

It just requires Li Qian to infuse it with a strand of his own Primordial Spirit Power.

Once the Blood Puppet perishes, that strand of his Primordial Spirit Power would disintegrate, greatly affecting him, akin to the collapse of the Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought invoked by a Demon Saint’s arrival, which would also affect the original body.

However, this little White Fox has a Lightness Level Talent; once refined into a permanent Blood Puppet, it would not affect its tremendous growth potential.

Frankly speaking, if he didn’t refine the little White Fox into a Blood Puppet, he would not know how else to deal with it.

He surely couldn’t raise it, right?

Once the little White Fox harboring Devil Thought grows up, it would pose a huge hidden danger.

Those not of my race, their hearts will be different.

This has been Li Qian’s consistent philosophy.

Whether in his past life or this one, it has always been so.

This is why he had not chosen to enlighten Little Black with intelligence.

He could tolerate Little Black as an Abnormal Bird, growing stronger, could even tolerate Little Black’s innate animal wildness, and didn’t mind if sometimes it was disobedient.

But if it became like a demon with self-awareness, that would be a different story.

Therefore, he was even less willing to allow this little White Fox to grow and become a demon...

The best way to deal with it was to refine it into a Blood Puppet, thus maximizing benefits, and not wasting this unique Lightness Level talent.

"Now it remains to be seen if any more Demon Puppets emerge to wreak havoc."

Li Qian thought to himself.

As long as there are more Demon Puppets emerging, it means that the Fox Demon Thought has not completely disappeared.

If all the Demon Puppets have vanished, the only remaining Devil Thought might be in this little White Fox.

Regardless, he would definitely refine the little White Fox into a Blood Puppet in the end.

Days went by.

Li Qian kept an eye on the outside world.

No incidents with Demon Puppets wreaking havoc took place.

All of the Demon Puppets seemed to have vanished without a trace overnight.

Qinxin City.

This place had already become a pile of ruins, uninhabited.

Under the sunlight, it was desolate, with decaying corpses everywhere...

At this moment, however, several figures arrived at the giant pit in the central area.

Besides the six Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials within the Dakchang realm, there was a person dressed in a large red Daoist robe, hair not tied into a Daoist bun but instead scattered loosely, emitting a faint red hue.

The six Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestials were extremely respectful in front of this Kun Daoist.

This Kun Daoist was a top Heavenly Phenomenon Level Celestial from the Dao Sect, with an extremely powerful backing, as she was the daughter of a Great Saint.

"Senior Sister Hong Yun, that mysterious Martial Saint had a grand battle with the demon inside, which ultimately led to the collapse of the Great Array, and almost the entire city being leveled to the ground, leaving only this giant pit. Ever since then, the demon has disappeared without a trace, and the mysterious Martial Saint has not appeared again."

Daoist Lv said.

He and a few fellow Daoists had speculated that the mysterious Martial Saint might have perished alongside the demon in Qinxin City.

Otherwise, after that battle, there would not have been complete silence.

Moreover, when facing a legendary demon, how could an ordinary Martial Saint possibly have emerged unscathed?

"Even if this Martial Saint hasn’t perished, he must have been gravely injured by the Demon Lord," said Daoist Hong Yun in a deep voice, "But, the silence of the Demon Lord doesn’t mean it was eradicated. It’s likely that it was only temporarily suppressed by the Martial Saint after just awakening... This has bought some time for our Dao Sect."

"Senior Sister Hong Yun, then what shall we do next?"
