Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: A Flash of Spirit Light

Summer passes and autumn comes; winter fades and spring arrives.

It has been over two years since Li Qian’s breakthrough in Sword Intent.

Life on the mountain is incredibly peaceful. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

As he doesn’t need to undertake internal sect tasks, he hasn’t left the Divine Sword Sect in over two years.

His daily routine is very regular, focused on bell-striking cultivation.

However, the Divine Sword Sect is far from peaceful.

The Moon Worship Sect’s rebellion in recent years has swept across the vast states of Dachang; although the imperial court has tried exhaustively to suppress it, the situation has grown increasingly severe.

The number of internal sect tasks within the Divine Sword Sect has also sharply increased, primarily related to the suppression missions.

This has significantly increased the risk associated with these tasks.

As a result, many Inner Sect Disciples have been injured or killed.

Consequently, the Divine Sword Sect has had no choice but to increase the task rewards.

In the afternoon.

Chen Yong made his way up the mountain.

Already half a year ago, Chen Yong finished first on the strength leaderboard for three consecutive years, successfully earning the status of Inner Sect Disciple.

Although he is merely the most ordinary Official Disciple, to servant disciples, it is akin to the transformation from a fish leaping over the dragon gate.

Resources for cultivation beyond the reach of servant disciples.

And the true Internal Cultivation Methods.

"Brother Qian, there is a rumor going wild in the Inner Sect about the Task Hall preparing to distribute tasks; and... the mandatory inner sect tasks have temporarily increased from once a year to twice a year."

Chen Yong said.

Every time he visited the mountain, he would bring some inner sect news to Li Qian.

"Is the situation this grave now?"

Li Qian’s face showed surprise, then he said: "Then you must cultivate diligently. In another half a year, you will have to participate in the inner sect tasks."

"Brother Qian, rest assured, I will cultivate earnestly... However, I encountered a bit of trouble when cultivating my Inner Strength..."

Chen Yong nodded and spoke.

Actually, he was somewhat looking forward to participating in the inner sect tasks; by completing them, he could earn contribution points.

Without contribution points, relying solely on the cultivation resources provided by the inner sect, it would be tough to meet the needs of cultivation.

He also came from a poor background; his family couldn’t provide cultivation resources, everything depended on what he could acquire himself.

"Speak, what’s the problem?"

Li Qian knew that Chen Yong’s visit to the mountain was surely about cultivation issues.

As a servant disciple who was promoted to an ordinary Official Disciple, he was at the bottom tier within the Inner Sect, without even the qualifications to be a Registered Disciple under an elder or Peak Master, let alone to take on a mentor.

Therefore, if Chen Yong wanted to consult about cultivation issues, he often needed to spend contribution points.

Without a strong background or sufficiently high innate Root Bone talent... cultivation is just this difficult.

Chen Yong quickly explained his problem.

Li Qian gave him answers one by one.

Anyway, he spent every day on the mountain, and beyond cultivating, he had plenty of free time.

Not long after Chen Yong left, Master Zhou Buping with hands clasped behind his back, gracefully walked up from the base of the mountain.

"Master, has the situation outside become very dire?"

Li Qian couldn’t help but ask.

His main concern was that if there was great turmoil outside, it would affect the Divine Sword Sect...

Only if the Divine Sword Sect was stable... could he cultivate at the Chen Bell Platform with peace of mind.

"Good or bad situations are only relative. For ordinary people, the chaos outside is naturally quite dreadful... but for a large martial arts sect like the Divine Sword Sect, the impact is limited."

Zhou Buping said with a smile.

As the martial arts sect that commands respect from three states and twelve counties, the Divine Sword Sect has profound foundations. Even at the end times of a dynasty, amidst widespread chaos, it has the ability to protect itself.

Moreover, the current situation is far from the chaos seen in the final periods of a dynasty.

"So, you just focus on cultivating in peace and strive to refine your Pure Sword Body as soon as possible."

Zhou Buping added.

"Yes, Master."

Li Qian nodded.

Zhou Buping waved his hand and then walked toward his wooden hut.

After the master left, Li Qian summoned the system interface to check the latest information.
