Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Xuanming Sect (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

After sending off the people from the Luo Royal Mansion, Elder Xiang Xin immediately went to the Divine Sword Hall to report the matter to the Sect Leader.

The Divine Sword Sect Leader, Feng Shaoyu, sent someone to notify the Seven Peak Masters and many other authoritative elders to discuss how to handle the invitation sent by the Luo Royal Mansion.

"Sect Leader, we of the Divine Sword Sect cannot participate in the Demon Extermination Assembly held by the Luo Royal Mansion."

"That’s right, our Divine Sword Sect has rarely interacted with the Luo Royal Mansion... Now is a critical period, and it’s easy to provide grounds for criticism."

"I think it’s not good to not participate either; it’s enough to just send an elder over as a gesture."

"Sending an elder casually will make the Luo Royal Mansion even more dissatisfied. Either we send no one, or the Sect Leader should personally attend."

"This time the Luo Royal Mansion has specifically sent an invitation, with a profound intention... If we do not participate, I’m afraid it will provoke the Luo Royal Mansion to target our Divine Sword Sect."

"What’s there to be afraid of? Our Divine Sword Sect has no subordinate relationship with the Luo Royal Mansion."

.....

Many elders and Peak Masters expressed their opinions.

For a time, the debate was incessant, and a consensus could not be reached.

"It’s a pity that our great-uncle is not here, otherwise we could ask for his opinion."

Divine Sword Sect Leader Feng Shaoyu sighed inwardly.

Seeing such a mess with no conclusion in sight, he invited the Seven Peak Masters to a side hall.

The opinions of the Seven Peak Masters were also divided.

"Let’s just vote by raising hands."

Divine Sword Sect Feng Shaoyu suggested the final method.

This was a method used when disputes were quite serious.

If a decision could not be made among the eight, then the vote would be expanded to include other authoritative elders.

...

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half a year had passed.

The daily life of bell-striking cultivation at the Chen Bell Platform was leisurely and satisfying.

Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong, dong....

Seven clear bell sounds rang out.

After releasing the bell striker, Li Qian began to cultivate the Pure Sword Body.

Liu Ming immediately refilled the empty hourglass and then stood aside to watch.

Although he could not understand the martial arts that Li Qian was practicing, and the more he watched, the more uncomfortable it felt, he was still tireless in his interest.

Only after Li Qian had finished training did he go downstairs to prepare dinner.

Li Qian sheathed his Sword Eighteen and called up the system interface to check the latest information.

Host: Li Qian.

Cultivation: Innate True Essence (Early Stage 43/100).

Sacrificial Artifact: Chen Bell (Might 2848/10000).

Martial Arts: Sword Stabbing Fist (Perfect), Heartless Sword Technique (Perfect), Pure Holy Body (Beginner 23/100), Soul Chasing Sword Skill (Perfect).

Martial Intent: Heartless Sword Intent (True Image 12/100).

Secret Skills: Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Qi, Blood Burning Technique.

....

After half a year of training, his cultivation progress had already reached 43 in the Early Stage of the True Essence Realm.

A bit quicker than expected.

Mainly, the Pure Holy Body had improved a bit, reaching Beginner 23, which did have a slight promotional effect on the improvement of cultivation.

But the progress of the Pure Holy Body was too slow.

He would only practice it once every two days, and each time he absorbed only a little Demon Essence, so such slow progress was normal.

"Recently, the negative impacts caused by absorbing the Demon Essence have been almost negligible; it seems I can increase the frequency, practicing it once a day now."

Li Qian pondered in his mind.

He was very cautious about using the demon stone to cultivate the Pure Holy Body.

It didn’t matter if it was slow.

The key was to be safe.

Returning to his room, Li Qian stood in front of two maps again.

Within this half year, he had been piecing the maps together in his mind countless times each day.
