Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Sword Tomb

Centered around Li Qian, the rolling Heaven and Earth Essence Qi converged towards him, following his breathing, drilling into his body and merging with his blood, spirit, and energy, transforming into new Innate True Qi.

He had taken a Qi Blood Pill in advance, constantly replenishing the quickly depleted Qi and blood.

A strange glow flashed around his body, with streams of Sword Qi roaming about.

However, under his control, these strands of Sword Qi were restrained within a certain range, ensuring the girl at the stairway was not injured.

After a while, the Innate Internal Qi finally accumulated to a certain level, and the third strand of Lifebound True Qi finally formed within his Qi Sea and Dantian.

The structure of the three strands of Lifebound True Qi became more complex, entwining with each other yet never intersecting.

This was the effect of the formation of the Three Talents Qi Field.

Once the structure of the True Qi completely stabilized, the breakthrough would be concluded.

Whew!

Li Qian opened his eyes, exhaling a breath of turbid air.

Feeling the stronger Innate True Qi within his Qi Sea and Dantian, he casually tested its power, finding it much stronger than that of the Middle-stage True Qi Realm.

Suddenly, he felt a notion in his heart, summoning the system interface to check the latest information.

Host: Li Qian.

Cultivation: Innate True Qi (Late Stage 1/100).

Sacrificial Artifact: Chen Bell (Power 2431/10000).

Martial Arts: Sword Stabbing Fist (Perfect), Heartless Sword Technique (Perfect), Pure Sword Body (Perfect), Soul Chasing Sword Skill (Great Success 47/100).

Martial Intent: Heartless Sword Intent (Illusion 22/100).

Secret Skill: Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Qi, Blood Burning Technique.

....

The Soul Chasing Sword Skill has also reached 47 points in Great Success. In a few months, it should be able to attain perfection.

Sword Intent at the Illusion Level is very difficult to enhance and can only be improved over time.

But there is no rush.

He has plenty of time to slowly cultivate and improve his strength.

Li Qian sheathed his sword, walked over to the child, took her hand, and brought her back into the house for a wash.

Then it was time to wait for the porridge to cook for breakfast.

....

After striking the bell at Chen hour, Li Qian took the child down the mountain.

He planned to send the child to Lijian City to find someone to take care of her.

Since no one was willing to adopt her and she was so young with no self-care ability, he could not just abandon her.

A living person, as a transcender, Li Qian naturally could not be so heartless.

After all, raising her wouldn’t cost much.

It was like doing a good deed and accumulating virtue.

With money paving the way, things proceeded quickly.

The house was arranged.

The nanny was also hired.

"Ning Ma, she is now in your care, please take good care of her."

Li Qian instructed.

The nanny was two middle-aged women in their thirties, looking quite weathered. According to Li Qian’s observation, they seemed to be decent people.

After all, the girl was a bit simple-minded, and he was worried that the nanny might not care for her properly.

"Sir, please rest assured, I will take good care of the young lady," said the nanny, Ning Ma, hastily.

"Girl, you just stay here, and Ning Ma will take good care of you... I’ll come and see you after a while,"

Li Qian walked up to the girl, touched her head, and spoke softly.

The girl looked at Li Qian blankly, without uttering a word.

"Ning Ma, I’ll leave her in your care,"

Li Qian said to the nanny and then turned to walk away from the house.

The girl simply watched Li Qian walk away until he was about to leave the house when her originally blank and stupefied face suddenly showed panic, and she burst into loud tears, running after Li Qian.

"Miss..."

Nanny Ning Ma hurried to catch her.

The girl ran fast, and Ning Ma could not grab hold of her.

Seeing the girl crying and catching up with him, Li Qian couldn’t help but stop.

The girl rushed over and clutched Li Qian’s clothes tightly, as if afraid that Li Qian would go away, her wooden face still with tears rolling down.

Li Qian was helpless. _{freewebnσvel.cѳm}

Did the little girl recognize him as her guardian?

Ning Ma came over and looking at the girl’s expression, she said, "Sir... the young lady behaves like this, probably because she has been through a great shock, which is why she is so dependent on you..."

"A great shock? How do you know?"
