Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 126

Chapter 126: Talent of a Celestial Being

Dong, dong

On the Time Bell Pavilion, Li Qian grasped the striker and struck the Time Bell. A clear and melodious bell sound spread out.

Mist filled the mountain stream, and in the distance, the red sun rose in the east.

As Li Qian began his cultivation, Liu Ming carried out strips of Azure Dragon Spirit Fish jerky from the wooden house beside them and started to dry them in the sun.

These Spirit Fish jerky were much better in quality than the Exotic Beast meat cultivated by the sect.

Eating Spirit Fish meat every day, Liu Ming’s cultivation speed had increased a lot.

He had never lived such a luxurious life before, actually being able to eat Spirit Fish meat every day.

Whoosh!

Li Qian’s movements were light and agile, his sword technique profound and subtle. Invisible sword Qi gathered, but it was limited to within three feet of his body. After he finished practicing, the sword Qi gradually dissipated into nothingness, leaving no trace.

He let out a breath and sheathed Sword Eighteen.

Swoosh!

He jumped down from the bell tower.

“Senior Brother Li, how does this look after smoking? Is it okay?”

Liu Ming carried out a large plate of smoked fish meat from a large smoke-curing oven.

The smoked fish meat was golden and shiny, with clear and beautiful lines.

With a wave of his hand, Li Qian picked up a piece of smoked fish meat. With a stroke of True Qi, he shaved off a thin slice and put it in his mouth. It melted in his mouth, the smoky flavor was strong, but it wasn’t the unique taste of the Azure Dragon Spirit Fish.

“Hmm, it’s smoked just right.”

Li Qian nodded and said.

At this time, a person came up from the mountain.

“Senior Brother Lei, what brings you here?”

Seeing the person, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

Lei Zhao had been here many times, so the two were quite familiar.

“Junior Brother Li, what are you drying?”

Lei Zhao asked curiously.

“Drying fish jerky, Senior Brother Lei, want to take some back to eat?”

Li Qian said.

“Uh… forget it, forget it, I don’t usually cook.”

Lei Zhao shook his head.

“This is Spirit Fish meat, much better than the Exotic Beast meat from the sect’s Exotic Beast breeding ground, take some to try it out.”

Li Qian said.

As he said that, he picked up a few pieces and stuffed them into Lei Zhao’s hands.

“Spirit Fish meat? Then I won’t refuse.”

Lei Zhao immediately stopped declining.

He had eaten so much Exotic Beast meat that he was used to it.

But he rarely ate Spirit Fish meat, so it would be nice to try it out.

“By the way, Senior Brother Lei, what brings you here?”

Li Qian asked curiously.

“The Sect Master wants you to go to the Divine Sword Legion camp, he said Great Grand Martial Uncle wants to see you.”

Lei Zhao said.

“Great Grand Martial Uncle wants to see me?”

Li Qian said in surprise.

However, he knew that Celestial Being Xiao must be seeing him for the recruitment matter.

After thinking it over, he felt that using Celestial Being Xiao’s influence was the best solution.

After all, he wanted to solve the problem, but he didn’t want to expose his own background.

With a Celestial Being backing him, the resistance to reform would be greatly reduced.

After all, in this world, strength reigns supreme.

Although Celestial Being Xiao didn’t manage things, he still had the most say.

“Junior Brother Li, you should go quickly, don’t make Great Grand Martial Uncle wait too long. I’ll go back first.”

Lei Zhao said.

Then he turned around and walked down the mountain with the fish meat.

Li Qian didn’t delay either, and went straight down the mountain, heading straight for the Divine Sword Legion camp.

This was his first time coming to the Divine Sword Legion camp.

Compared to the Martial Arts Legion camps on the front lines, this Divine Sword Legion camp could only be said to be so-so.

Although they were in the middle of training, the military morale and fighting spirit could not condense into form, let alone military might.

◈◈◈

Such a Martial Arts Legion probably didn’t have much combat power.

Only after experiencing several battles would they be able to complete their tempering and transformation.

Li Qian was led into the camp by a sentry and waited for about half an hour in a tent before Xiao Tianren returned in full armor.

“Greetings, Great Grand Martial Uncle.”

Li Qian hurriedly bowed.

“So it’s you, kid.”

After seeing Li Qian, Celestial Being Xiao immediately recognized him.

After sizing him up, he nodded and said, “Hmm, very good, among your peers, you should be considered one of the best. I underestimated you a bit back then.”

Li Qian deliberately revealed a bit of his cultivation realm aura, so Celestial Being Xiao could naturally see it.

“Thank you for the praise, Great Grand Martial Uncle.”

Li Qian said.

“I’m not praising you, why didn’t you go to the Dragon Guarding Temple? With your current cultivation realm, if you went to the Dragon Guarding Temple, you would have a better chance of becoming a Celestial Being in the future.”

Celestial Being Xiao asked.

He didn’t expect that there was such a cultivation genius hidden within the Divine Sword Sect.

He was probably not far from becoming a Grandmaster.

“Great Grand Martial Uncle, this disciple’s personality is such that I feel that the current cultivation environment is already very good. Going to the Dragon Guarding Temple would be very uncomfortable, and it would affect my cultivation.”

Li Qian said.

“Hmm, the cultivation environment is very important, everyone has their own suitable cultivation method, since you think so, it’s not a big problem.”

Celestial Being Xiao nodded.

In fact, he understood quite well, he didn’t like staying within the Divine Sword Sect, he liked to run around the world.

The reason he was able to break through to Celestial Being back then, apart from his thirty years of cultivation in the Dragon Guarding Temple, was also because he had traveled all over the Great Chang empire.

“Li Qian, how do you plan to rectify this recruitment?”

Celestial Being Xiao suddenly changed the subject and asked.

“Great Grand Martial Uncle, I think the recruitment problem of the Divine Sword Sect is already very serious, it has reached the point where it has to be changed. Drastic problems require drastic remedies, reform must be thorough.”

Li Qian immediately said solemnly.

“Drastic problems require drastic remedies, reform must be thorough, you said it well.”

Celestial Being Xiao nodded, “This time, you just go ahead and do it, any resistance below Grandmaster level, you can deal with it according to the sect rules, Grandmaster level and above, I’ll back you up.”

“With these words from Great Grand Martial Uncle, this disciple has no more worries.”

Li Qian said with great joy.

Celestial Being Xiao gave some more instructions.

Just as Li Qian was about to leave, Celestial Being Xiao suddenly asked, “Li Qian, do you know a senior who likes to wear a black cloak?”

“Black cloak senior?”

Li Qian was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise, “Great Grand Martial Uncle, you know this senior?”

“So, you did meet him?”

Celestial Being Xiao said.

“Yes, when I was cultivating at the Time Bell Pavilion, this senior appeared a few times and gave me some guidance. Great Grand Martial Uncle, is this senior a hidden expert of our Divine Sword Sect?”

Li Qian nodded and said.

“Of course, this senior’s personality is like this, he’s always elusive, wandering the world, occasionally giving guidance to inner sect disciples with good aptitude. You being able to receive guidance from this senior is also your opportunity, you must seize such an opportunity, you know?”

Celestial Being Xiao’s gaze towards Li Qian became even more benevolent.

To be valued by that senior, it seems that this Li Qian’s root bone, talent, and comprehension should all be very good, and he might even be a key target for cultivation.

Could it be that in the eyes of that senior, this Li Qian has the talent of a Celestial Being?

“Yes, Great Grand Martial Uncle.”

Li Qian hurriedly nodded.

“Go.”

Celestial Being Xiao waved his hand.

After he walked out of the tent, he felt a little speechless. This Celestial Being Xiao really knew how to make assumptions and bluff.

But this was even better.

With a background of a mysterious expert backing him, it would be even easier for him to get along in the Divine Sword Sect in the future.
