Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 92

Chapter 92: Blood-Strengthening Demon Pill

Divine Sword Hall.

Although it was already late at night.

It was brightly lit and still bustling with activity.

Sect Master Feng Shaoyu was still handling affairs.

In addition to internal sect matters, there were also the dispatching of sect martial artists, the allocation of various medicinal pills, weapons, and resources to support the frontline war, all of which required him, the Sect Master, to personally handle.

Currently, the vast majority of Divine Sword Sect’s forces had been dispatched to the frontline.

Those remaining at Divine Sword Sect were less than a third of the usual number.

Among them, many were recuperating from injuries sustained at the frontline.

Due to the severe shortage of manpower, many retired elders had been called back.

Suddenly, a commotion came from outside, and two Divine Sword Sect disciples helped someone into the Divine Sword Hall.

“Master, Great Grand Martial Uncle is back.”

Lei Zhao shouted anxiously.

“Grand Martial Uncle, what happened to you?”

Sect Master Feng Shaoyu was taken aback at first, then quickly got up and hurried over to support Xiao Wendao.

Xiao Wendao’s face was pale, and there was blood on his body, clearly indicating that he was seriously injured.

“I’m fine.”

He quickly waved his hand and sat down with Sect Master Feng Shaoyu’s support. Just as he was about to speak, he began to cough violently.

It took a while for him to recover.

But blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

“Grand Martial Uncle, what exactly happened?”

Feng Shaoyu quickly wiped the blood from the corner of Xiao Wendao’s mouth and asked.

It was so late, why did Grand Martial Uncle suddenly return, and with such serious injuries?

At this time, shouldn’t Grand Martial Uncle be at the front?

Could it be that the frontline had suffered a major defeat?

“In yesterday’s battle, I was caught off guard and surrounded.”

Xiao Wendao briefly explained the situation.

“Then the frontline”

Feng Shaoyu couldn’t help but ask.

“I don’t know for now, but it shouldn’t be too serious. In terms of the number of Celestial Beings, we are not at a disadvantage.”

Xiao Wendao shook his head and said.

Prince Luo’s Residence probably knew that his old injuries hadn’t fully healed, so they set a trap specifically for him.

Originally, two Celestial Beings were besieging him. The reason why only Chen Ao followed and pursued him was probably because the other Celestial Being from Prince Luo’s Residence thought he couldn’t escape Chen Ao’s pursuit and went to support other battlefields.

Otherwise, with two Celestial Beings chasing him, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to escape for so long.

“Quickly send a Flying Eagle Message to the frontline and inform them of my situation. By the way, the Mysterious Netherworld Sect’s Celestial Being, Chen Ao, has fallen.”

Xiao Wendao suddenly remembered something and immediately added.

“What?”

Sect Master Feng Shaoyu was stunned.

The Mysterious Netherworld Sect’s Celestial Being had fallen?

“Old Ghost Xiao, you killed that scoundrel Chen Ao?”

At this moment, an old woman’s voice unexpectedly rang out.

Following closely, Celestial Being Hua from Hundred Flowers Palace walked in.

After nearly a year of recuperation, her injuries had improved.

“Yes, it was just luck.”

Xiao Wendao nodded and said, “If he hadn’t been so overconfident, I would be the one dead.”

He didn’t reveal the truth.

Because he didn’t want the fact that there were still Celestial Beings active around Divine Sword Sect to be leaked.

In his opinion, this Celestial Being was very friendly towards Divine Sword Sect.

The existence of this Celestial Being was a kind of invisible protection for Divine Sword Sect.

He couldn’t reveal this Celestial Being’s existence.

“Good, good, good, that old scoundrel Chen Ao is finally dead. It’s a pity I couldn’t take revenge myself.”

Celestial Being Hua smiled.

Mysterious Netherworld Sect was among those who attacked Hundred Flowers Palace.

Chen Ao was one of the three Celestial Beings who besieged and pursued her.

If she hadn’t encountered Xiao Wendao and Celestial Being Chai from the imperial clan returning from Jade Capital, she would have been in grave danger.

Dawn broke.

Time Bell Pavilion.

Li Qian stretched and looked at the rising sun in the distance.

Screech!

An eagle’s cry.

Little Black flew back from afar.

It was clutching prey in its claws.

It landed on a nearby tree and began to eat its breakfast.

Li Qian couldn’t help but glance at the hourglass nearby; it was almost empty.

Little Black was becoming more and more punctual.

So he grabbed the striker and, with a gentle push, struck the Time Bell forcefully.

Dong, dong

Two clear bell tolls spread out.

Li Qian bathed in the bell sounds, drew out Sword Eighteen, and began practicing the Heartless Sword Manual.

Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi quickly gathered around him.

The Yuan Stone he held in his hand was also releasing Yuan Qi, which was absorbed by the Perfection Level Immaculate Holy Body and rapidly transformed into True Qi.

After finishing a round of practice, Li Qian’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was filled with joy.

It had to be said that the Perfection Level Immaculate Holy Body was incredibly helpful in improving his cultivation.

At this rate, he estimated that he would be able to break through to the middle stage of the True Elixir Realm in just over three months.

He jumped down from the bell tower and walked to the wooden house next to it.

The space inside was quite large, with many cages containing rats, pheasants, rabbits, birds, and even dragonflies and wasps.

Without exception, these creatures were all larger than their normal counterparts.

Of course, these were the ones that had survived.

As for those that hadn’t, there were countless.

Li Qian scraped a small amount of powder from a medicinal pill, mixed it with water, and then, with a wave of his hand, small balls of potion, wrapped in his True Qi, landed in each container.

The creatures immediately began to lick, eat, and absorb the potion.

His Spiritual Perception spread out, observing the reaction within each creature’s body after consuming the Demonic Pill.

“The effects of this pill should be well understood by now.”

Li Qian stroked his chin, having a good idea.

◈◈◈

There was more than one type of pill in the black iron ring; there were over a dozen.

So he still had to continue experimenting.

Li Qian looked at the dark green pill in his hand, which was still half remaining, and smiled.

After such a long time, he had only used this much of the pill.

It had to be said that the effects of this pill were truly potent.

He had named this pill the Giant Blood Demon Pill.

It had three main effects.

First, it increased the blood and Qi strength of creatures, but the Qi and blood release rate was extremely high, so if taken in excess, it would place a huge burden on the body.

Second, it strengthened the creatures’ bodies, greatly enhancing the functions of their muscles, skin, bones, blood, nerves, internal organs, and so on, without causing mutations.

Third, it allowed creatures to break through their species’ size limitations, leading to gigantism.

This gigantism wasn’t unlimited; it varied depending on the species. The larger the original size, the less significant the gigantism.

For example, creatures like wasps and dragonflies could increase in size by more than ten times.

While rabbits and pheasants could increase by about two or three times.

He wondered if humans would also experience gigantism after consuming it?

If so, he definitely couldn’t take it.

For a normal person, let alone doubling in size, even growing by a fifth would make them look abnormal.

Li Qian didn’t want to become a giant.

He felt that his current height and physique were perfect.

Of course, being a little taller would be acceptable.

Walking out of the wooden house, Li Qian held a cup in his hand, containing a small amount of potion.

He whistled.

Little Black, which had finished its breakfast and was preening its feathers on the tree, quickly flew down and landed on Li Qian’s arm.

“Little Black, open your mouth.”

Li Qian said with a smile.

Little Black quickly opened its beak, and a small amount of potion flew into its mouth.

Since it was Little Black’s first time consuming the potion, Li Qian fed it a very small amount to avoid putting too much strain on its body.

After consuming the potion, Little Black quickly reacted and became restless.

Li Qian quickly used his falconry techniques to communicate with it and soothe its emotions.

Little Black’s body curled up in Li Qian’s arms, trembling violently.

Li Qian used his Spiritual Perception to probe Little Black’s physical condition.

There were no major abnormalities.

Its blood and Qi were rising rapidly, but not exceeding its body’s limits.

After a long time, Little Black returned to normal, soared into the sky, and stayed out for a long time, not returning until evening.

Li Qian looked at Little Black’s feathers; they were even more glossy and black.

He carefully examined Little Black’s body again.

“Hmm, it seems that Little Black’s body strengthening efficiency is a bit higher than other creatures.”

Li Qian keenly noticed a difference.

After all, he had a large amount of experimental data for comparison.

Over the next few days, he continued to collect physical data on Little Black.

He basically confirmed that Little Black’s body strengthening efficiency was much higher than other creatures, and its gigantism wasn’t as pronounced.

It was there, but far less obvious than in other creatures.

“Could it be that because Little Black isn’t confined in a cage and is always flying outside, the blood-strengthening effect is being utilized better, preventing the Qi and blood from accumulating and forcing the body to grow larger?”

Li Qian had a thought, and a guess formed in his mind.

If that was the case, the name Giant Blood Demon Pill wasn’t quite accurate.

He would change it to Blood-Strengthening Demon Pill.

Xuan Province Smelting City.

This place had already become Prince Luo’s Residence’s main base of operations on the frontline.

Inside a luxurious mansion’s main hall.

Over a dozen people were gathered, discussing matters.

Sitting in the main seat was Luo Tiange, Prince Luo’s top general and a Celestial Being.

Moreover, this Celestial Being wasn’t from a martial arts sect or a martial arts family, but an orphan adopted and raised by Prince Luo’s Residence.

He was even adopted as a son by the previous Prince Luo and granted the surname Luo.

“Is there still no news from Elder Chen?”

Luo Tiange asked in a deep voice.

“Reporting to General Luo, Grand Elder has not contacted us.”

An elderly man shook his head and said.

This man was the Grand Elder of Mysterious Netherworld Sect, the strongest in terms of cultivation and strength apart from the Grand Supreme Elder, and also the true leader of Mysterious Netherworld Sect in normal times.

After all, Grand Supreme Elder Chen Ao, as a Celestial Being, rarely involved himself in matters.

“Strange, Elder Chen shouldn’t have any problems pursuing that old monster Xiao, given that he was severely injured by Elder Chen and me.”

The speaker was an elder with a ruddy complexion, wearing a Daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk.

This man was Real Person Yangmei, a Celestial Being from Purple Cloud Sect.

The horsetail whisk in his hand was actually a very powerful Divinely Forged Weapon. The handle was forged from an unknown metal, and the whisk hairs attached to it weren’t horsetail hairs or anything like that, but were made from a special, incredibly tough material.

“It’s truly puzzling that he hasn’t returned for so long. Could it be that Elder Chen encountered some other matter that delayed him?”

Another Celestial Being sitting beside General Luo Tiange said in a deep voice.

At this moment, a long horn sounded from outside the hall, “Report, a secret message.”

“Bring it here.”

Luo Tiange said in a deep voice.

Soon, a martial artist hurried in, respectfully presented a bamboo tube sealed with a special lacquer pattern to Luo Tiange, and then retreated.

Luo Tiange opened the bamboo tube and took out a strip of paper from it.

After reading it, his expression turned grim.

“Xiao Wendao has returned to Divine Sword Sect.”

He said coldly.

Xiao Wendao had escaped back.

Then what about Chen Ao?
