Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 31

Chapter 31 - 31 Guidance

After Zhou Buping left, Li Qian began to prepare lunch.

The meal he made was very simple, just congee... but the congee contained a variety of ingredients, various medicinal herbs used in medicinal diets... and Exotic Beast Meat Jerky.

In the end, a large pot of thick medicinal congee with meat was ready.

As for the taste, it's hard to say.

Anyway, he ate it at least once a day, and after eating it often, he got used to it.

The main thing was that it was nutritionally rich and could provide the body with the nutrients and energy needed for cultivation.

A full large pot was all consumed by Li Qian.

Not long after finishing his meal, Li Qian heard a series of footsteps outside.

"Brother Qian."

Following that, the door was pushed open, and Chen Yong, with a simple and honest face, walked in.

However, there was a large bruise on his face.

"What happened to your face?"

Li Qian asked in surprise.

"I was sparring with someone and got hit by a punch by accident."

Chen Yong scratched his head and said, "Brother Qian, I tried to use a sword-blocking move, but I was hit by the opponent's hooking sword technique, and couldn't avoid it. The opponent's Sword Stabbing Fist wasn't much better than mine..."

He began to demonstrate in the room.

Li Qian spotted the problem at a glance, "Your issue seems to be that the Inner Strength got stuck and didn't flow smoothly between the Zhongfu and Tianzong acupoints, which reduced the speed of your punch, slowing it down just a bit. The opponent's hooking sword technique just happened to exploit your weakness. I guess it's related to the extended period of time you previously spent on resistance training with horizontal logs, affecting these two acupoints."

Half a year ago, Li Qian had casually given Chen Yong guidance on his fist technique.

Since then, Chen Yong often came up the mountain to seek advice.

Chen Yong's expertise in the Sword Stabbing Fist was just that, expertise; he hadn't even reached a minor level of mastery, otherwise, he wouldn't have such a weak point.

Li Qian's Perfect Level Sword Stabbing Fist was more than enough to give guidance to Chen Yong.

"It does feel a little like that. So, how do I fix it?"

Chen Yong said, frowning.

"It's easy to fix. Over at the Chores Hall, isn't there a specialized masseur? Go find one with good technique and get a full-body massage, especially focusing on these two acupoints."

Li Qian said.

"But the price over there is too high, one session... would cost half a year of my salary."

Chen Yong shook his head like a rattle drum.

His salary was all sent back home to help out.

After all, his family was very poor. Where would he get the money?

Li Qian smiled, walked over, and had Chen Yong assume a position from the Sword Stabbing Fist, then pressed on several of Chen Yong's acupoints. With the circulation of Inner Qi, it passed through Zhongfu and entered Tianzong, massaging back and forth.

Hiss!

Chen Yong grimaced in pain, unable to move as if he had lost control of his body.

A while later, Li Qian released Chen Yong.

Chen Yong sat down on the ground.

But when he moved his arms, he found that the previously painful spots were now warm and very comfortable.

"I've made some adjustments for you. However... you need to rest for a few days now and not practice your fist technique."

Li Qian said.

"Brother Qian... did you just use Inner Qi?"

Chen Yong looked incredulous.

Only Inner Qi... could be transmitted into his body.

Inner Strength couldn't accomplish that.

"Is it that strange?"

Li Qian said indifferently.

"Brother Qian, you've actually become a martial artist of the Innate Realm."

Chen Yong's voice trembled slightly.

Although among the servant disciples, it was not uncommon to become martial artists of the Innate Realm, they were typically older.

Disciples like him would probably need several more years to unlock the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and it was even possible... that he might never open the governor and conception vessels.

Li Qian had become a martial artist of the Innate Realm in just over four years. The speed was astonishing.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind—perhaps Brother Qian had already become an Inner Sect Disciple?

For someone who became an Innate Realm martial artist in just over four years, it should be a breeze to pass the Inner Sect re-examination.

Li Qian, seeing Chen Yong's reaction, sighed inwardly. After knowing about his advancement to the Innate Realm, it was unlikely that their relationship would remain as carefree as before.

Sure enough, Chen Yong became much more reserved afterwards.

After all, Li Qian was a martial artist of the Innate Realm, with a very high possibility of becoming an Inner Sect Disciple. It instantly put a distance between him and a servant disciple like Chen Yong, making it seem unattainable.
