Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 - 29 True Inheritor

Time flew by, and more than half a year had passed.

Li Qian's cultivation on the Chen Bell Platform was peaceful and auspicious.

Years of solitary life had long accustomed him to solitude; he did not feel the slightest loneliness.

With the assistance of the bell sounds, his cultivation progressed smoothly, reaching the Ninth Layer of the Postnatal stage.

However, the comprehension of Heartless Sword Intent was much slower; he had only achieved twenty-some progress points so far.

He found that the efficiency of comprehending the Heartless Sword Intent slowed down as he progressed.

It had started with an increase of one point every seven days.

But now, it took almost ten days to improve by one point.

One afternoon that day.

Just as Li Qian finished his training, he heard someone calling him outside.

"Senior Brother Li."

He looked out from the Bell Platform and saw a young boy.

"What is it, Junior Brother?"

Li Qian asked.

"Senior Brother Li, I am from the Chores Hall... I have been ordered by the Hall Master to deliver a message... Someone claiming to be from your family wishes to see you."

The boy hurriedly said.

"Not seeing them."

Li Qian's heart stirred. Could it be someone from the Li Family of Baibi City?

However, he was reluctant to meet them.

In his heart, he had completely severed ties with the Li Family of Baibi City.

He was just a transcender from Earth's previous life.

As for the relatives of this body, what did they have to do with him?

What's more, the previous owner of this body had run away from home and joined the Divine Sword Sect's entrance test with the intention of cutting off all ties with his family.

"Senior Brother Li, I will go back and report then."

The boy quickly said.

"Mhm, go ahead."

Li Qian waved him off.

...

Chores Hall.

A middle-aged man, accompanied by a few house servants, was anxiously waiting.

He had been sent by Master Li Donglin from the Li mansion; he was the steward of Li House.

After a long wait, finally footsteps sounded, and someone entered, "Steward Xu, I am truly sorry, Inner Sect Disciple Li isn't willing to meet you."

It was Xu Wei, the Vice Hall Master of Chores Hall.

He was very polite.

Even if Li Qian did not want to meet his family, that was Li Qian's conflict with his family.

If he showed any negligence... he might offend an Inner Sect Disciple.

"The young master doesn't want to see me?"

The middle-aged man, Steward Xu, his expression changed.

He was here by the Master's orders to see the young master on a matter of great importance.

Could it be that he had to return without even being granted an audience?

"Vice Hall Master Xu, could you take me to where the young master is cultivating? I really have important matters to discuss with the young master..."

Steward Xu hurriedly said.

"Steward Xu, it's not that I don't want to take you, but there are rules within the Sect... Moreover, Senior Brother Li did not agree, and if I take you to the mountain without permission, I'm afraid it would upset Senior Brother Li."

Vice Hall Master Xu shook his head.

Steward Xu knew that in a grand martial sect like this, rules were stringent. If he could not meet the young master, how could he deliver the item to the young master's hands?

He bit his lip... and made a decision on the spot, "Vice Hall Master Xu, what if we do this - I have an item here I need to pass to the young master, could you please send someone to deliver it?"

Saying this, he took out a half-foot-long wooden box from the package he carried with him.

The wooden box was sealed with a special lacquer seal, primarily for holding special valuable items, and whether the box had been opened or not could be determined by the lacquer seal.

For an official family like the Li family of Baibi City, they naturally had their own unique lacquer seal, difficult for outsiders to imitate.

As Vice Hall Master Xu saw the lacquer seal on the wooden box, he immediately understood it was no ordinary item... but that was to be expected, for something to be personally sent to an Inner Sect Official Disciple would undoubtedly be valuable.

"Sure."

Vice Hall Master Xu nodded.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Vice Hall Master."

Steward Xu said, as he covertly slipped a banknote into Vice Hall Master Xu's hand.

Vice Hall Master Xu glanced at it and did not refuse.

...

Atop the Bell Platform.

Li Qian sat cross-legged, with a treasured sword horizontally placed on the rack before him.

At this moment, he was using his own Heartless Sword Intent to resonate with the treasured sword.

This was a very special method of nurturing swords.

Nourishing the sword with one's own Sword Intent.

This method of nurturing swords was taught by his master, Zhou Buping.

As the connection between his Sword Intent and the treasured sword grew stronger, the swordsmanship he displayed would become even more powerful.

Even the treasured sword, under prolonged nurturing, had the chance to become a Divine Sword.

For Innate Martial Artists of the Divine Sword Sect, nurturing their own Divine Sword was the best.
