The night was deep and people were silent.
Li Qian sat cross-legged atop the bell tower, with Sword Eighteen placed horizontally on his lap.
He communicated with Sword Eighteen through the Heartless Sword Intent to nourish and refine it.
Sword Eighteen contained a powerful Sword Intent, inherited from generations of Divine Sword owners, which, while aiding his comprehension of Sword Intent, also affected his control over Sword Eighteen.
In a sense, he could only be considered a user of Sword Eighteen, but had yet to truly refine it and make it his lifebound cultivation sword.
No wonder Master Zhou Buping said that to completely refine Sword Eighteen, one might need Sword Intent to reach the Myriad Phenomena Level.
He had only just reached the True Image Level.
The enhancement of Illusion Level Sword Intent was extremely difficult before, and now, the True Image Level Sword Intent would undoubtedly be even harder, even with the aid of the Divine Sword.
But he was in no hurry.
He had plenty of time.
Perhaps once the Magic Artifact Chen Bell was upgraded again, the enhancement of Sword Intent would become easier.
Feeling slightly fatigued in spirit, Li Qian retracted his Sword Intent, opened his eyes, and exhaled deeply.
The moonlight was hazy, and all around was quiet.
He could hear a faint breathing sound in the bell tower; it was the servant disciple Liu Ming sleeping.
More than ten days passed this way.
Every day he did nothing but ring the bell, cultivate, and nourish the Divine Sword.
After his Sword Intent broke through to the True Image Level, his cultivation speed increased significantly.
Originally, it took him ten days to make a little progress after entering the late stage of the True Qi Realm.
Now it only took two days to see the same amount of progress.
This meant that he would need just over half a year to advance from the late stage of the True Qi Realm to the early stage of the True Essence Realm.
No wonder Master Zhou Buping said that even with just average root bone talent, as long as one has sufficient comprehension, the Martial Intent realized can greatly accelerate the speed at which one’s cultivation realm advances.
"Once I break through to the True Essence Realm, perhaps I can start studying that demon stone."
Li Qian pondered to himself.
According to Master’s words, the demon stone could enhance the Pure Sword Body.
Once the Pure Sword Body was enhanced, it would also accelerate his cultivation progress.
In the early morning, after ringing the Chen Bell, Li Qian left the Bell Platform and headed down the mountain.
He planned to visit the girl in Lijian City.
Lijian City.
Inside the residence.
The girl sat there dully but immediately looked up restlessly when she saw Li Qian arrive.
"Master, you’re here."
Ning Mama greeted him eagerly, looking very happy.
"Ning Mama, have you not been resting well?"
Li Qian noticed Ning Mama’s weary face with serious dark circles, expressing his surprise.
Ning Mama had a lot of distress, "Master, the young miss is too difficult to take care of... She sleeps very little, always cries inexplicably, throws tantrums, breaks things... Sometimes she runs off in the middle of the night..."
Although Li Qian paid her well, she really didn’t want to continue.
If she kept on like this, she would surely be exhausted to death.
"Ning Mama, how about this, I’ll double your salary, and I’ll also buy two maids to help you take care of her."
Li Qian said.
"Alright."
Ning Mama couldn’t resist the generous pay; it was several times higher than what she would earn elsewhere.
"Ning Mama, get a cup for me, pour half a cup of warm boiled water."
Li Qian spoke.
"Okay."
Ning Mama hurriedly went to fetch a cup, poured half a cup of warm water, and brought it over.
Li Qian took the cup, and from his bosom, he took out a vial, poured out a pill, scraped a little powder, and dissolved it in the water.
This was a Spirit-Nourishing Pill.
The girl was mentally troubled; this pill might have some effect.
After mixing it, Li Qian fed the girl the water from the cup.
The girl obediently drank it.
After she finished, Li Qian gently pressed a spot on the back of her neck, making her fall asleep.
"Ning Mama, let her have a good sleep."
Li Qian said.
Ning Mama hurriedly carried the girl into the room.
After a while, Ning Mama came out.
"Ning Mama, this pill... every day before she sleeps, scrape a little and dissolve it in warm boiled water, and feed it to her."
Li Qian handed the vial to Ning Mama.
Though there was only one Spirit-Nourishing Pill, it would suffice for the girl to use for two or three months.
