Ringing the Bell for a Hundred Years, I Became the Sect’s Ancestor – Chapter 93

Chapter 93: Bronze Mirror

Jade Capital.

Imperial Clan Ancestral Grounds, Candle Dragon Hall.

It had undergone a significant transformation.

The numerous oil lamps that were originally present had all been removed.

The bronze coffin was also gone.

The entire hall was filled with a vast array of blooming flowers, and even the surroundings of Candle Dragon Hall were similarly adorned with numerous flowers.

These were not ordinary flowers but spirit flowers cultivated through special means.

Any single pot of spirit flower, if placed among the common people, would be enough to cause many martial artists to fight to the death.

Yet here, they were abundant, simply because the Grand Empress Dowager favored them.

Inside the hall, upon the intricate and precious gilded throne, a beautiful woman in palace attire sat gracefully.

She had her eyes closed, and specks of peculiar spirit light emerged from the numerous spirit flowers, converging and merging into her body.

After a long while, she opened her eyes, and her eternally youthful, peerlessly beautiful face seemed to radiate even more brilliance.

“It’s still a little bit short.”

She sighed softly and then picked up a rusty bronze mirror.

As she gazed into the bronze mirror, a furry face unexpectedly appeared within it ━ Time Bell Pavilion.

Li Qian was playing with Little Black.

After a period of being fed with medicinal liquid, Little Black’s size had undergone some changes, but the most significant change was in its physical strength.

He had basically determined that Little Black’s extensive flying activities could promote the absorption of the medicinal properties.

However, over time, there would still be a buildup of medicinal properties, leading to an increase in size.

If he wanted to change this situation, the only way was through cultivation, using cultivation to digest the accumulated medicinal properties.

Little Black was just an eagle, not a human, how could it understand cultivation?

Unless Little Black could embark on the path of demon transformation.

However, the method of demon transformation was unknown.

It was estimated that only the dead Wolf Demon in Taiping Sacred Cave would know.

Of course, among the books within the black iron ring, there might be cultivation methods related to demon transformation.

But he couldn’t understand them at all right now.

He suddenly remembered the page of demonic script he had given to Elder Gu. He wondered how the elder’s deciphering was progressing?

Elder Gu was quite old and was not included in the recall of retired elders.

With this in mind, Li Qian decided to make a trip to Sword’s Edge City.

After his bell-ringing cultivation, he descended the mountain.

Little Black followed all the way, circling in the air, occasionally swooping down to grab Li Qian’s clothes with its talons, only to be caught by Li Qian.

Little Black would then flap its wings vigorously.

After Li Qian let go, it would fly away again, enjoying the game immensely.

Li Qian first went to see Li Mo.

Li Mo was already eleven or twelve years old, tall and slender, vastly different from her childhood appearance.

In recent years, Li Mo had been studying at a private school in Sword’s Edge City.

Although she was still quiet and introverted, prone to daydreaming, she was much better than before, when she would cry and throw tantrums, unable to control her emotions.

“Uncle Qian, I want to participate in the Divine Sword Sect’s entrance assessment.”

Li Mo ran over and said, holding Li Qian’s hand.

“Alright, let Mama Ning take you there.”

Li Qian nodded and said.

Li Mo was of age to participate.

In fact, he had examined Li Mo’s root bone, and it was quite good. Passing the entrance test and becoming an inner sect disciple shouldn’t be a problem.

Moreover, Li Qian had taught her the Sword-Piercing Fist three years ago and had her practice it daily.

“Show me your Sword-Piercing Fist. Let me see how you’ve progressed.”

Li Qian said.

Li Mo quickly assumed the stance and began demonstrating the Sword-Piercing Fist.

“Hmm, not bad.”

After Li Mo finished practicing, Li Qian showed a satisfied expression.

Li Mo’s comprehension was quite good. In three years, she had mastered the Sword-Piercing Fist to a high level.

◈◈◈

As for whether she could achieve perfection, it was difficult to say.

It was a test of comprehension.

Without sufficient comprehension, it was difficult to reach perfection.

According to Mama Ning, Li Mo practiced every day, with exceptional diligence, almost to the point of obsession.

She didn’t go out to play with other children her age. After finishing her studies, she would either practice her fist techniques, daydream, or read books.

After having lunch with Li Mo, Li Qian headed to Elder Gu’s residence.

This time, the servants at Elder Gu’s residence led Li Qian directly to the elder’s study.

The old man was engrossed in examining numerous books, unaware of Li Qian’s arrival, completely absorbed in his research.

Li Qian walked to the desk and saw many sheets of paper covered with scribbled text.

The page of demonic script was placed on the table.

Li Qian picked up a sheet of paper. It contained annotations and interpretations of the demonic script.

From these annotations, it was evident that Elder Gu’s progress in deciphering the demonic script was quite rapid.

“Oh, young friend, when did you arrive?”

Suddenly, Elder Gu’s surprised voice rang out.

“Elder Gu, I just arrived a moment ago. Seeing you immersed in your research, I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Li Qian said with a smile.

“Tell me, do you have more of that demonic script?”

Elder Gu stepped forward, gripping Li Qian’s arm, and asked eagerly.

“Yes, I do.”

Li Qian nodded and retrieved another page of demonic script from his bosom.

“I knew it. That page of demonic script, it’s obvious it was cut off recently.”

Elder Gu took the page of demonic script, his face beaming with joy.

Then, he took the demonic script and hurried to the desk, engrossed in studying it, completely ignoring Li Qian.

After a long while, Elder Gu suddenly asked again, “Do you have any more?”

“I didn’t bring any more with me.”

Li Qian said.

“Bring them next time. Two pages are not enough for research.”

Elder Gu said.

“Elder Gu, how is your research going?”

Li Qian asked.

“About a third of this page has been deciphered.”

Elder Gu picked up the first page and began explaining.

After listening, Li Qian gained some understanding of the contents of the large book. It seemed to be a record of major historical events, or perhaps major historical events of the Demon Race.

Since many of the demonic characters were deciphered through guesswork, their accuracy was not entirely certain.

As Li Qian was about to leave, Elder Gu suddenly picked up a booklet and tossed it to Li Qian. “This is the result of my research on demonic script over the years. You can take it back and study it carefully.”

Li Qian opened the booklet. It contained detailed records of the research process for various demonic characters, particularly their origins and evolution.

It was evident that this was a summary of Elder Gu’s findings after years of extensive research and study.

It might not be a martial arts manual, but it was the best reference material for studying demonic script.

There were so many demonic script books in the black iron ring. He couldn’t ask Elder Gu to decipher them all.

The best solution was to learn demonic script himself so that he wouldn’t have any obstacles reading those books in the future.

“Thank you, Elder Gu.”

Li Qian was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Elder Gu’s intention in giving him this book was probably to ensure that his research on demonic script would be passed down.

Elder Gu waved his hand dismissively, returning his attention to the second page of demonic script.

Seeing this, Li Qian no longer disturbed Elder Gu and quietly left the study.
