Chapter 146: Chapter 126 Heavenly Person’s Qualifications (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Dong dong...
On the Chen Bell Platform, Li Qian grabbed the rammer and struck the Chen Bell, sending out a clear and far-reaching bell sound.
The mist filled the mountain ravine, with the rising sun in the distance.
As Li Qian began his cultivation practice, Liu Ming moved strips of dried Azure Dragon Spirit Fish meat from a nearby wooden hut to begin air-drying them.
This dried Spirit Fish meat was of much higher quality than the exotic beast meat cultivated by the sect.
Having Spirit Fish meat every day, Liu Ming’s cultivation speed had greatly increased.
He had never lived such a luxurious life before, to actually have Spirit Fish meat every day.
Huh!
Li Qian’s movements were nimble, his swordsmanship mysterious; invisible Sword Qi converged yet remained confined within three feet around him. Once the practice was complete, the Sword Qi would gradually disperse into invisibility, smooth and undisturbed.
He let out a breath and sheathed his sword on the eighteenth move.
Swoosh!
He jumped down from the bell tower.
"Senior Brother Li, what do you think about the curing process like this, is it alright?"
Liu Ming took out a large plate of smoked fish from a smoking furnace.
The smoked fish was golden and oily, with clear and beautiful patterns.
Li Qian waved his hand, picked up a piece of smoked fish, sliced a thin slice with his True Qi, put it in his mouth, and it melted almost instantly; the rich smoky flavor was strong yet it didn’t have the distinctive taste of Azure Dragon Spirit Fish.
"Mmm, the curing is just right."
Li Qian nodded and said.
At that moment, someone came up from the foothills.
"Senior Brother Lei, how do you have time to come here?"
He greeted the newcomer with a smile as soon as he saw him.
This Lei Zhao had visited many times before, so the two were quite familiar with each other.
"Junior Brother Li, what are you drying here?"
Lei Zhao asked curiously.
"Drying fish meat. Senior Brother Lei, why don’t you take some back to try?"
Li Qian said.
"Ah... forget it, I usually don’t cook too much."
Lei Zhao shook his head.
"This is Spirit Fish meat, much better than the exotic beast meat from the sect’s Exotic Beast Breeding Farm; take some and try the delicacy."
Li Qian said.
Saying this, he immediately stuffed several strips into Lei Zhao’s hands.
"Spirit Fish meat? Then I won’t be courteous."
Lei Zhao no longer declined.
He was used to eating exotic beast meat.
But having Spirit Fish meat was rare, and trying it was good.
"By the way, Senior Brother Lei, what did you need from me?"
Li Qian asked curiously.
"The Sect Leader has asked you to make a trip to the Divine Sword Army Camp; Great Grandmaster Uncle wants to see you."
Lei Zhao said.
"Great Grandmaster Uncle wants to see me?"
Li Qian exclaimed in surprise.
However, he knew that Heavenly Person Xia meeting him would definitely be concerning the new recruitment.
Previously, he had thought through it and felt that relying on Heavenly Person Xia’s support was the best solution.
After all, he wanted to solve the problem, but didn’t want to expose his own details.
With the backing of a Heavenly Person, the resistance to reform would be much reduced.
In this world after all, martial power is revered.
Despite Heavenly Person Xia not managing affairs, he still possessed the greatest authority.
"Junior Brother Li, you better go quickly and not let Great Grandmaster Uncle wait too long. I will head back now."
Lei Zhao said.
Then he, holding the fish meat, turned and walked down the mountain.
Li Qian didn’t delay either and directly descended the mountain, heading straight for the Divine Sword Army Camp.
This was his first visit to the Divine Sword Army Camp.
Compared to those front-line Martial Arts Army camps, this Divine Sword Army Camp can only be described as mediocre.
Although they are currently training, their Military Heart and Battle Intent are unable to consolidate into form, not to mention their military might.
Such a Martial Arts Army likely doesn’t possess much combat power.
Only through experiencing several battles can they undergo a thorough transformation.
Li Qian was led into the camp by a sentry and waited in a tent for about half an hour before Heavenly Person Xiao arrived in full military armor.
"Greetings to Great Grand-Uncle."
Li Qian hurriedly paid his respects.
"So, it’s you, kid."
Upon seeing Li Qian, Heavenly Person Xiao immediately recognized him.
After sizing him up for a while, he nodded and said, "Hmm, not bad. Among your peers, you are definitely one of the top. Initially, I somewhat underestimated you."
Li Qian deliberately leaked a bit of his cultivation realm aura, which Heavenly Person Xiao naturally noticed.
"Thanks for Great Grand-Uncle’s compliment."
Li Qian said.
"I am not just complimenting. Why don’t you go to Dragon Guard Temple? With your current cultivation realm, if you go there, you might have a greater chance of becoming a Heavenly Person in the future."
Heavenly Person Xiao asked.
He hadn’t expected that there was such a cultivation prodigy hidden within Divine Sword Sect.
He probably wasn’t far from reaching the Great Grandmaster level.
"Great Grand-Uncle, such is my nature. I feel that my current cultivation environment is already quite suitable, and going to the Dragon Guard Temple might make me uncomfortable and affect my cultivation."
Li Qian spoke.
"Hmm, the cultivation environment is very important, and everyone has their own suitable method of cultivating. Since you see it that way, there’s no big issue."
Heavenly Person Xiao nodded.
Actually, he understood very well, as he himself disliked staying within the Divine Sword Sect and preferred wandering everywhere.
The breakthrough to Heavenly Person was not only due to the thirty years of training in the Dragon Guard Temple but also attributable to roaming throughout the grand world.
"Li Qian, how do you plan to handle this recruitment drive?"
Heavenly Person Xiao suddenly changed the subject.
"Great Grand-Uncle, I believe that the recruitment issues of the Divine Sword Sect are very severe now and have reached a point where they cannot be ignored. Severe illnesses require strong medicine; reforms must be thorough."
Li Qian solemnly said.
"Severe illnesses require strong medicine; reforms must be thorough... Well said."
Heavenly Person Xiao nodded, "You go ahead and handle it. For resistance faced below the Grandmaster level, deal with it according to the sect rules. For those above Grandmaster, I’ll back you up."
"With Great Grand-Uncle’s words, I have no more worries."
Li Qian said joyfully.
Heavenly Person Xiao then gave a few more instructions.
Just when Li Qian was about to leave, Heavenly Person Xiao suddenly asked, "Li Qian, do you know an elder who likes wearing a black cloak?"
"A senior in a black cloak?"
Li Qian paused, then exclaimed in surprise: "Great Grand-Uncle, you know this elder?"
"So, it seems you have indeed met him?"
Heavenly Person Xiao said.
"Yes, when I was cultivating on the Chen Bell Platform, this elder appeared several times and gave me guidance. Great-grand-uncle, is this elder a hidden master of our Divine Sword Sect?"
Li Qian nodded and said.
"Absolutely, that elder’s nature is just like this, elusive like a dragon seen only in glimpses playing around in the human world, occasionally guiding inner sect disciples with good potential. You must cherish such an opportunity to receive guidance from such an elder, understand?"
Heavenly Person Xiao’s gaze towards Li Qian turned even more benevolent.
To be favored by that elder indicates that Li Qian’s root bone, talent, and comprehension must all be excellent, and he might even be targeted for key cultivation.
"Could it be that in the eyes of that elder, Li Qian has the potential of a Heavenly Person?"
"Alright, Great Grand-Uncle." freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Li Qian hurriedly nodded.
"Go on then."
Heavenly Person Xiao gestured with his hand.
After he walked out of the tent, he felt rather speechless about how much Heavenly Person Xiao could imagine and bluff.
But... it was for the best.
Having the background of being supported by a mysterious master, he would indeed be far more influential within Divine Sword Sect.
