Chapter 40 Retirement from Injury
Chapter 40 Retirement from Injury
A major martial arts sect like the Divine Sword Sect must have secret techniques similar to the Blood Burning Technique, or perhaps even more advanced ones, but the problem is that he can't learn it for the time being.
These secret techniques require a large amount of contribution points to redeem.
He once asked his master Zhou Buping, hoping that he could teach him such a secret technique.
Zhou Buping told him not to think about these things for the time being because in order to cultivate a flawless body, he must not practice forbidden techniques that would stimulate his body's potential.
Once forbidden techniques are used, sequelae will appear and it will be impossible to achieve perfect innateness forever.
Li Qian couldn't tell Zhou Buping that he had the help of Chen Zhong and was not afraid of the side effects of the forbidden technique.
Anyway, he is bored now, and if he can improve the blood burning technique, it will be beneficial to his martial arts practice.
Time flies by like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, another half a year has passed.
The difficulty of improving the blood burning technique was much greater than he had imagined.
He has lost count of how many times his body has been damaged.
Fortunately, he was very cautious and careful, and it did not affect his practice of the Immaculate Sword Body and his comprehension of sword intent.
All this is thanks to the magical effect of Chen Zhong.
It is already winter.
Li Qian stood on the Chen bell platform. As far as he could see, everything was white and there was light snow falling in the sky.
Suddenly, he saw a figure rushing up the hillside.
The speed is extremely fast, showing superb lightness skills.
It’s definitely not Chen Yong.
Li Qian was a little surprised.
"Excuse me, are you Junior Brother Li? I am Lei Zhao, an inner sect disciple of the Divine Sword Hall. I am here on the orders of the Sect Master to invite you to the Divine Sword Hall."
A man who looked to be about thirty years old came to the bell tower and bowed to Li Qian.
Whoosh!
Li Qian jumped down from the bell tower and came to Lei Zhao. "Brother Lei, what does the Sect Master want to see me about?"
He was very curious. He was a nobody in the Divine Sword Sect and rarely interacted with the inner disciples. The sect leader was very busy, so why would he look for him?
"Junior Brother Li, I'm really sorry, I don't know either."
Lei Zhao shook his head and said.
Divine Sword Hall.
Located on Shenjian Peak, although it is not among the seven main peaks, it is the place where the sect leader works and practices on a daily basis.
In the organizational structure of the Divine Sword Sect, the Sect Master is not the one with the most authority. He is mainly responsible for the administrative management of the sect.
Once it comes to important matters of the sect, the sect master, the seven peak masters and many powerful elders will gather together to discuss and make the decision.
As soon as he entered the Divine Sword Hall, Li Qian actually saw his master Zhou Buping.
But Zhou Buping’s condition looks very bad.
His hair was gray and his face was bloodless.
It's like I've aged twenty years.
"Master."
Li Qian quickly walked up to him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Master, I'm fine."
Zhou Buping waved his hands, but started coughing as he spoke, and even his breathing became heavy.
"Li Qian, your master was seriously injured while suppressing the rebellion."
Feng Shaoyu, the leader of the Divine Sword Sect, sighed and said.
In fact, several elder-level masters from the Divine Sword Sect who were sent to quell the rebellion were ambushed, most of them were seriously injured, and one even died on the spot.
"Master, can my master recover as before?"
Li Qian asked quickly.
"It's very difficult. Elder Zhou injured his Qi Sea. Even if his physical injuries can be recovered, I'm afraid his cultivation will be greatly regressed. The most important thing is that his martial spirit is damaged. This kind of spiritual injury can only be healed slowly."
Sect leader Feng Shaoyu shook his head and said.
Li Qian was in a heavy mood.
If there is one person who is most important to him in this world, it would naturally be his master Zhou Buping.
"My teacher is already quite old, and my cultivation level is not that important anymore. It's a good opportunity for me to retire, recuperate, and enjoy my later years." Zhou Buping was much more optimistic.
Compared to Elder Song of Guiyi Peak who died, he was lucky to be able to come back alive.
Of course, he was able to come back alive in such a dangerous and harsh situation only because of his strong inner belief, because he wanted to see his disciple achieve perfect innateness with his own eyes.
"Master, please go to the Chenzhongtai, so that I can take care of you."
Li Qian said.
Moreover, he was thinking about whether he could use the sound of the Chen Bell to heal Zhou Buping's injuries.
After Chen Zhong became a magical weapon, its miraculous ability to repair the body was not limited to him, the chief priest.
If Zhou Buping lived in the bell tower for a long time and basked in the sound of the Chen bell at close range, there would definitely be some benefits.
"No, I plan to live in Linjian City. Just come visit me more often."
Zhou Buping waved his hand.
"Master, it is my responsibility to take care of you. Even if you want to live in Linjian City in the future, you have to wait until your injuries are healed."
Li Qian said.
He knew that his master's injuries were serious. Although the Divine Sword Sect would certainly provide treatment for his master, judging from the sect leader's tone, his master's chances of recovery were not optimistic.
Recuperating at the Chenzhongtai will definitely be more conducive to Master's recovery.
"Elder Zhou, I also think what Li Qian said is right. With a direct disciple taking care of him, how can a chores disciple be so considerate?"
Feng Shaoyu, the leader of the Divine Sword Sect, also advised.
He knew that Zhou Buping was a lonely man without a wife, children or daughters, and had been searching for his ideal disciple all his life to pass on the so-called Wuxin Sword Technique.
In the eyes of other classmates, he seems to be a loner and difficult to get along with.
After a moment's silence, Zhou Buping finally nodded in agreement.
"Master, there is one thing I want to do. I would like to use my contribution points to apply for Li Qian's qualification to not participate in inner sect missions in the next few years before he breaks through to the Xiantian realm."
Zhou Buping suddenly said.
As the Moon Worship Cult's rebellion spreads wider and wider, future inner sect missions will become increasingly dangerous.
He was worried that Li Qian would encounter unpredictable dangers when participating in the inner sect mission.
Once the injury is serious, it will definitely affect the practice of the Immaculate Sword Body.
If it was before he got injured, he would have been reluctant to bring it up.
If this kind of thing spreads, it will have a serious impact.
After all, if you can do this, then other peak masters and elders can also do this, right? Who doesn't have disciples that they value?
"Uh? Elder Zhou, why is this? The inner disciples participate in the mission to give them the opportunity to gain experience."
Feng Shaoyu, the leader of the Divine Sword Sect, was very surprised.
Moreover, he knew that once this door was opened, it might bring serious negative consequences.
He didn't believe that Zhou Buping didn't know.
"Master, I naturally have my reasons."
Zhou Buping did not explain.
This matter must not be leaked until Li Qian achieves perfect innateness.
Even if Li Qian has achieved perfect innateness, it is best not to expose it.
After all, perfection is a double-edged sword.
You may win great prestige, but you will also become the target of public criticism.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
He didn't want his disciples to fail midway.
"Okay, I can grant him amnesty so that he doesn't have to participate in inner sect missions in the next few years. However, the time cannot be too long, at most five years."
Upon seeing this, Feng Shaoyu, the leader of the Divine Sword Sect, did not ask any further questions.
As an inner sect disciple, not participating in inner sect missions is actually against the sect’s rules.
However, Zhou Buping was an elder, had worked hard and made great contributions, and was seriously injured. It was still unknown whether he could be cured. It was understandable that he had only this one direct disciple.
