Chapter 29 - 29 True Inheritor Time flew by, and more than half a year had passed. Li Qian's cultivation on the Chen Bell Platform was peaceful and auspicious. Years of solitary life had long accustomed him to solitude; he did not feel the slightest loneliness. With the assistance of the bell sounds, his cultivation progressed smoothly, reaching the Ninth Layer of the Postnatal stage. However, the comprehension of Heartless Sword Intent was much slower; he had only achieved twenty-some progress points so far. He found that the efficiency of comprehending the Heartless Sword Intent slowed down as he progressed. It had started with an increase of one point every seven days. But now, it took almost ten days to improve by one point. One afternoon that day. Just as Li Qian finished his training, he heard someone calling him outside. "Senior Brother Li." He looked out from the Bell Platform and saw a young boy. "What is it, Junior Brother?" Li Qian asked. "Senior Brother Li, I am from the Chores Hall... I have been ordered by the Hall Master to deliver a message... Someone claiming to be from your family wishes to see you." The boy hurriedly said. "Not seeing them." Li Qian's heart stirred. Could it be someone from the Li Family of Baibi City? However, he was reluctant to meet them. In his heart, he had completely severed ties with the Li Family of Baibi City. He was just a transcender from Earth's previous life. As for the relatives of this body, what did they have to do with him? What's more, the previous owner of this body had run away from home and joined the Divine Sword Sect's entrance test with the intention of cutting off all ties with his family. "Senior Brother Li, I will go back and report then." The boy quickly said. "Mhm, go ahead." Li Qian waved him off. ... frёewebnoѵēl.com Chores Hall. A middle-aged man, accompanied by a few house servants, was anxiously waiting. He had been sent by Master Li Donglin from the Li mansion; he was the steward of Li House. After a long wait, finally footsteps sounded, and someone entered, "Steward Xu, I am truly sorry, Inner Sect Disciple Li isn't willing to meet you." It was Xu Wei, the Vice Hall Master of Chores Hall. He was very polite. Even if Li Qian did not want to meet his family, that was Li Qian's conflict with his family. If he showed any negligence... he might offend an Inner Sect Disciple. "The young master doesn't want to see me?" The middle-aged man, Steward Xu, his expression changed. He was here by the Master's orders to see the young master on a matter of great importance. Could it be that he had to return without even being granted an audience? "Vice Hall Master Xu, could you take me to where the young master is cultivating? I really have important matters to discuss with the young master..." Steward Xu hurriedly said. "Steward Xu, it's not that I don't want to take you, but there are rules within the Sect... Moreover, Senior Brother Li did not agree, and if I take you to the mountain without permission, I'm afraid it would upset Senior Brother Li." Vice Hall Master Xu shook his head. Steward Xu knew that in a grand martial sect like this, rules were stringent. If he could not meet the young master, how could he deliver the item to the young master's hands? He bit his lip... and made a decision on the spot, "Vice Hall Master Xu, what if we do this - I have an item here I need to pass to the young master, could you please send someone to deliver it?" Saying this, he took out a half-foot-long wooden box from the package he carried with him. The wooden box was sealed with a special lacquer seal, primarily for holding special valuable items, and whether the box had been opened or not could be determined by the lacquer seal. For an official family like the Li family of Baibi City, they naturally had their own unique lacquer seal, difficult for outsiders to imitate. As Vice Hall Master Xu saw the lacquer seal on the wooden box, he immediately understood it was no ordinary item... but that was to be expected, for something to be personally sent to an Inner Sect Official Disciple would undoubtedly be valuable. "Sure." Vice Hall Master Xu nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Vice Hall Master." Steward Xu said, as he covertly slipped a banknote into Vice Hall Master Xu's hand. Vice Hall Master Xu glanced at it and did not refuse. ... Atop the Bell Platform. Li Qian sat cross-legged, with a treasured sword horizontally placed on the rack before him. At this moment, he was using his own Heartless Sword Intent to resonate with the treasured sword. This was a very special method of nurturing swords. Nourishing the sword with one's own Sword Intent. This method of nurturing swords was taught by his master, Zhou Buping. As the connection between his Sword Intent and the treasured sword grew stronger, the swordsmanship he displayed would become even more powerful. Even the treasured sword, under prolonged nurturing, had the chance to become a Divine Sword. For Innate Martial Artists of the Divine Sword Sect, nurturing their own Divine Sword was the best. Hum! As the Sword Intent connected with the treasure sword, the horizontally placed weapon began to vibrate slightly. He did not utilize Inner Qi. It was entirely caused by the nourishing of the treasure sword with his Sword Intent. After a long while, he finally exhaled deeply, feeling slightly spiritually exhausted. Cultivating a sword was very draining on the spirit. Suddenly, he stood up and looked towards the outside of the bell tower; someone else was coming up. "Greetings to Senior Brother Li." The newcomer greeted with a bow. "Vice Hall Master Xu, didn't I say I would not meet anyone?" Li Qian said. "Senior Brother Li, your family sent me to deliver this item to you." Vice Hall Master Xu said in haste. Li Qian looked at the wooden box in Vice Hall Master Xu's hands, his brows furrowed slightly. Immediately, his figure moved and he floated down, arriving in front of Vice Hall Master Xu, reaching out to snatch the wooden box. The lacquer seal on it was familiar from the memories of his previous life, a unique seal of the Li Family of Baibi City. He directly tore off the lacquer seal and opened the wooden box. To his surprise, it contained a large stack of banknotes. He roughly estimated there to be several thousand taels. Although within the Divine Sword Sect, transactions were conducted using contribution points... outside, gold and silver remained the main currency for measuring the value of cultivation resources. A tael of gold was roughly worth a hundred taels of silver. The amount of silver in this world was much more abundant than gold, so the exchange rate was incomparable to his previous life. These several thousand taels in banknotes... were not a small sum. The Li Family of Baibi City would have had to stretch themselves to take this out. "Are they dipping into the family coffers to support my martial arts training? Haha... It's a pity that I don't need it for my current cultivation..." Li Qian sneered inwardly. Just the daily cultivation resources disbursed by the Divine Sword Sect, along with the subsidies from his master Zhou Buping, had already been sufficient for his cultivation needs. The existence of Chen Bell had brought so much assistance to his cultivation. "I accept the item." Li Qian said indifferently. "Senior Brother Li, I will take my leave first then." Vice Hall Master Xu said immediately. ... Chores Hall. Upon hearing that Young Master Li Qian had accepted the box, Steward Xu waiting there let out a sigh of relief. Although he didn't meet the young master personally, which was a minor regret, accepting the item meant that the young master still held his family in mind. Next, he needed to rush back to Baibi City at the first opportunity to report back to the master. ... The banknotes sent by the Li Family of Baibi City had no impact whatsoever on Li Qian. All the banknotes were even stored in a secret cellar specially designated for storing valuable items. He continued his cultivation as he had been. Another month had gone by. Inner Sect, Divine Sword Hall. Many Peak Masters and elders with real power from the seven major peaks gathered together. "Old Zhou, you usually stay secluded in Yanmen Valley and seldom show your face. What brings you to the meeting today? You usually don't interfere with the sect's internal affairs, do you?" A plump elder asked curiously. "This time is different." Zhou Buping said with a light chuckle. "How is it different? Isn't this about selecting a True Inheritor? You don't have a disciple..." The plump elder smiled. "Who says I don't have a disciple?" Zhou Buping snorted coldly. "He Bazi, you're out of the loop. Old Ghost Zhou took a disciple over a year ago." Someone next to them laughed. "Ah, took a disciple? Tsk tsk, that's truly unprecedented." The plump elder expressed his surprise. "The number of True Inheritors to be selected this time is temporarily set at one... Bring up the list of those participating in the True Inheritor selection." The person seated in the chief position was the Divine Sword Sect Master, who only glanced at Zhou Buping before speaking. "Sect Leader, why only one? Weren't there two True Inheritors who became elders before? We should select two True Inheritors." The plump elder couldn't help but ask. "This was a decision made after discussions with the Peak Masters of the seven peaks. If we were to release two True Inheritor slots at once, it would not be quite fair to those outstanding disciples who are temporarily not eligible to participate in the selection." The Divine Sword Sect Master shook his head as he spoke. The Divine Sword Sect's number of True Inheritors was generally fixed, only selecting the very best... "One... tsk tsk, this competition is going to be quite fierce." Someone shook their head. The qualifications for True Inheritors had strict age restrictions, and selections were made only every several years. If one did not get selected this time, there were practically no chances left. ... This content is taken from (f)reewe(b)novel.com
