Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 406 - 250 Tianlan Immortal Mansion_2

It’s almost finished forming.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, see if this sword hilt fits your hand?"

Tuo Ba handed the bone sword to Li Qian.

Li Qian swung it around and found it exceptionally handy.

Even though it’s a bone sword, the bone density is very high, so it doesn’t feel light at all.

Moreover, the hardness and toughness of this bone sword are also excellent.

Suddenly, he communicated with the Two Forms Spirit Sword, mobilizing the Spirit God Power, transforming it into Two Forms Sword Energy, and injected it into the bone sword.

In an instant, the bone sword trembled slightly, actually emitting a sword glow.

This bone sword’s ability to transmit sword energy is excellent, making it a superb natural weapon.

He swung the sword, and a clump of shrubs in the distance was sliced through by the sword energy.

"With this bone sword, my combat power will likely increase significantly."

A smile appeared on Li Qian’s face.

"Daoist Tuo Ba, your craftsmanship is really impressive."

He looked at Tuo Ba, smiling as he spoke.

"Just so-so, Daoist Qian Yuan, the other one might take some more time."

Tuo Ba said.

"Then I’ll have to trouble Daoist Tuo Ba to put in more effort."

Li Qian nodded and said.

"It’s no trouble, the stronger you are, Daoist Qian Yuan, the safer our Oasis Camp will be."

Tuo Ba quickly said.

Others nodded in agreement.

After the last great upheaval at the camp, everyone knew how difficult it was to keep the camp intact.

If not for Daoist Qian Yuan, they would have been exiled into the desert, struggling to survive.

With a suitable bone sword in hand, Li Qian felt much more confident.

He wanted to go and take a look at the water source within the oasis.

Since arriving at the camp, he had never been to the water source.

Other Refinement Returners hadn’t been there either.

At most, they gazed from a distance.

The main reason was that the dangers near the water source were too great, easily encountering herds of other wild animals.

However, he still wanted to take a look and fetch some Spiritual Water in passing.

He noticed a problem, that is, the efficiency of his body absorbing the blood from Scorpion Monsters or rainwater was higher.

Whereas things like meat were relatively harder to digest.

So, the digestion speed would indeed affect his cultivation to some extent.

To absorb the food of this realm most efficiently, thereby obtaining spiritual energy, was his most urgent need.

There are two ways: one is to find something easier to digest, like water or blood.

The second is to improve the body’s digestive ability.

This would require increasing the Dimension Upgrade Progress.

This cannot be forced and must be achieved gradually.

Thus, Li Qian shared his thoughts with the Refinement Returners present.

"Daoist Qian Yuan, please be careful. The dangers near the water source aren’t just the creatures coming to drink water, but also what’s in the water.... In the previous group of Refinement Returners, someone saw powerful creatures in the water preying on others drinking, but those creatures in the water seem not to like venturing far, so they don’t threaten our camp."

Tuo Ba quickly said.

"Hmm, I’ll be careful."

Li Qian nodded.

Then, he took out a simple waterskin made from animal hide.

This was something he had specially crafted.

After all, if he was going to fetch water, he certainly needed a container to hold it.

This was Li Qian’s first time venturing far from the camp, so he was extremely cautious.

The area of this oasis was not small, filled with various shrubs and green plants, and the density of trees increased the closer one got to the water source.

Li Qian dared not be negligent, holding the bone sword, he carefully explored forward.

Moreover, before he came, he had looked at the rough map of the oasis.

This map was slowly pieced together by the camp’s Refinement Returners over a long period of time.

Though it’s not detailed, it could still provide significant help to Li Qian.

Just like that, after over an hour, Li Qian finally made it to the vicinity of the water source.

It was a lake of several dozen acres, blue and clear as it appeared.

Through the trees, he could occasionally catch glimpses of wild animals.

These wild animals were very alert, hiding immediately at the slightest noise.

To survive in this desert oasis, one naturally had a set of survival skills.

Whoosh!

After another careful approach, Li Qian arrived at the edge of the water source.

There were quite a few footprints on the ground, indicating that animals often came to drink at this spot.

Looking at the clear lake water, Li Qian cautiously made his way over, then took out a waterskin, preparing to fill it with Spiritual Water.

Suddenly, he sensed something, moved swiftly, and at the same time, lunged the bone sword forward, immediately severing a snake head with a fierce slice.

Suddenly, an unknown serpent fell from the tree, twisting its body in struggle.

This serpent looked tawny, with distinct scales and a large size, estimated to be more than ten feet long.

Judging by the touch when inserting the bone sword earlier, the serpent’s defensive power was not weak, but it was unfortunate to encounter Li Qian.

Li Qian infused Spirit God Power into the bone sword using the Two Forms Spirit Sword, making the sword aura formed by the bone sword incredibly sharp, shattering the serpent’s defense like paper.

Moreover, the consumption of Spirit God Power was relatively low.

It wasn’t a powerful humanoid Scorpion Monster, so there was no need to go all out.

Looking at the still-struggling serpent corpse, Li Qian hurried to the water’s edge, filled his bag with water, and tied the opening tightly.

Then he hauled the serpent’s corpse and started returning to camp.

Food, after all, cannot be wasted.

After returning to the camp, Li Qian had someone process the serpent’s corpse and used the dried snake skin to make a water bag.

The water bag made from that beast skin wasn’t very good, it leaked a bit.

Returning to camp, he found out that quite a few water bags were missing.

Gurgle gurgle gurgle....

Li Qian took a sip of water, suddenly feeling his stomach boiling.

He immediately began to cultivate the Divine Aperture Treasure Opening Technique.

...

Inside the Daoist Temple.

Li Qian opened his eyes, with a slight smile on his face.

The effect of cultivating with Spiritual Water was indeed slightly better than with meat.

Judging from the spiritual energy stored in the Chen Bell, it’s probably better by about ten percent.

Don’t look at it being just ten percent, it doesn’t seem like much, but when the Return to Void frequency increases, the gap becomes quite apparent.

Suddenly, Li Qian summoned the system interface to check the sacrificial refining progress of the Chen Bell.

Chen Bell (Spiritual Artifact 99967/100000).

In thirty-three days, the Chen Bell will be able to officially upgrade.

Li Qian’s face revealed a smile.

It’s truly not easy.

He decided that on the day the Chen Bell upgrades, he would personally strike the bell.

Since Wuxin Peak was established, he hasn’t struck the bell; it’s always been his disciples ringing the bell, day after day, year after year, without interruption.

This has become a longstanding tradition of Wuxin Peak.

Everything can be stopped, but not the bell.

Days passed by.

Li Qian stayed in the Daoist Temple to cultivate.

His heart grew even more expectant.

As the day of the Chen Bell upgrade approached, he returned to Divine Sword Sect, summoning all disciples of Wuxin Peak.

Not only that, he also had Yang Lian issue orders to try and have members of Divine Sword Sect from various locations return to the sect.

Yang Lian didn’t ask why, just directly executed the Ancestor’s orders.

By the day of the Chen Bell upgrade, over a hundred thousand disciples of Divine Sword Sect had returned.

And after centuries of development, the disciples of Wuxin Peak had already exceeded two hundred.

Despite there being over two hundred people, Wuxin Peak is still undoubtedly the one with the fewest members among the chief peaks of Divine Sword Sect.

And in other main peaks, isn’t each one having thousands or tens of thousands of disciples?

Although Wuxin Peak has fewer disciples, each is an elite... After all, wanting to join Wuxin Peak, mastering Sword Stabbing Fist to perfection is a challenge that many Divine Sword Sect disciples cannot overcome.

The time of the fifth watch is almost here.

The sky is already dimly lit.

After all, it’s summer.

It gets light early.

The entire Divine Sword Sect has already started cultivating.

This is already an old tradition of Divine Sword Sect.

Every disciple will adhere to it.

No matter how busy, cultivation at the fifth watch cannot be interrupted.

And on Wuxin Peak, all disciples also began their cultivation.

"Let me do it, you go cultivate."

Li Qian came to the Chen Bell Platform and said to a disciple whose generation was unknown.

"Yes."

The disciple promptly withdrew.

Standing in front of the Chen Bell, Li Qian could feel the atmosphere of the Chen Bell nurtured to the extreme.

"I wonder what change the upgrade of the Chen Bell will bring this time?"

Li Qian gently felt the striking rod, took a deep breath, and waited for the sand timer to run out, he slightly twisted his waist and grasped the striking rod with both hands to ring the bell forcefully.

Dong!

The clear bell sound echoed above the mountain gate of Divine Sword Sect, spreading far and wide.
