Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Should Not Become Too Intimate

"Annihilation tasks are too perilous; safer to be prudent and wait."

Li Qian recalled his master Zhou Buping advising him not to choose annihilation tasks due to their great risks.

If there is no other choice, then skipping the inner sect task might even be preferable.

After all, he didn’t rely on the cultivation resources distributed by the sect.

Relying on ringing the Chen Bell allowed him to steadily increase his strength and even achieve immortality; why take such huge risks?

Thus, he walked towards the exit of the Task Hall.

A young Inner Sect Disciple watched Li Qian’s retreating figure and stroked his chin, "This junior brother seems familiar, where have I seen him before?"

But he couldn’t remember at the moment.

Just then, someone approached from the side and called out to Li Qian, "Junior Brother Li?"

"Ah, it’s Senior Brother Pang."

Li Qian turned around and immediately recognized the very conspicuous bald head.

During the selection for True Inheritor, this chatterbox was constantly talking.

And his shiny bald head left a particularly strong impression.

"It seems Junior Brother Li still remembers me."

The bald Pang Bai said happily.

"Senior Brother Pang Bai of Martial Peak?"

Seeing this, the young Inner Sect Disciple was shocked.

Pang Bai was a notable figure within the Inner Sect, having joined the True Inheritor selection although he failed, his Innate potential promised a future as an elder with no doubts.

Compared to him, there was a world of difference with this ordinary Inner Sect Disciple.

Such a revered Senior Brother Pang was actually chatting with that junior brother, what was going on?

Wait a minute...True Inheritor selection?

A flash of enlightenment occurred in his mind, and he suddenly remembered.

No doubt...this junior brother calling himself Elder Brother must be one of the nineteen participants in the True Inheritor selection.

But since Li Qian hardly ever mingled in the Inner Sect, nobody recognized him.

Even after the selection, the majority of the Inner Sect Disciples still didn’t know the origins of Li Qian.

"A true seed of the successor, and he actually... called me Elder Brother?"

The young Inner Sect Disciple felt a rush of excitement.

It was a feeling of respect he had never experienced before.

....

"Junior Brother Li, are you planning to take on a task?"

Senior Brother Pang Bai asked.

"Yes."

Li Qian nodded.

"These annihilation tasks are too mundane; you surely wouldn’t be interested. How about teaming up with us for a bigger score?"

Pang Bai laughed slyly.

"Um..."

Li Qian, who didn’t even want to do an annihilation task, how could he possibly undertake a bigger one?

"Junior Brother Li, for this task, I’ve already called a few people; two of them also joined the True Inheritor selection. If you and I joined, that would make four...the chances of success would be very high."

Pang Bai began to persuade.

Although he didn’t know the specifics of Li Qian’s abilities, to qualify for the True Inheritor selection certainly meant being exceptional among the Inner Sect Disciples, so his strength must be considerable.

"I can’t compare with Senior Brother Pang. How could I handle such high-risk tasks?"

Li Qian directly refused.

"That’s really a pity."

Pang Bai did not insist.

They were not familiar with each other, and he was merely trying his luck.

Just then, an empty spot on the task wall suddenly flipped revealing a new task.

It was an escort mission.

The appearance of this escort task caused many waiting Inner Sect Disciples to boil over, rushing forward to snatch it.

This kind of competition for tasks had been ongoing in the Task Hall for a while.

Every time a non-annihilation task appeared, it would immediately be snatched up.

Just as many Inner Sect Disciples surged forward, suddenly a figure flashed; the card on the task wall had disappeared.

"Where’s the task?"

"Damn, who snatched it?"

"Such speed, isn’t that too fast?

"Dammit, that was my task."
