Chapter 41 Illusion

Chapter 41 Illusion
Chen bell tower.

Li Qian returned here carrying his master Zhou Buping.

He made a bed for his master.

Put on a clean duvet cover.

A fire was also lit in the house to dispel the cold of late winter.

Zhou Buping was watching from the side.

After Li Qian finished his work, Zhou Buping asked him to sit down and asked, "I have accepted you as my apprentice for more than three years, but I still don't know your family situation. Why don't you tell me about it?"

"Master, my family is a small official family in Baibi City, there is nothing much to say."

Li Qian said.

"I see you've never been back. Since you have a family, how can you cut off contact? Practicing martial arts doesn't mean you have to cut off worldly ties."

Zhou Buping asked back.

He could hear the Chen Bell ringing every day. Except for Li Qian's going out on a mission once a year, the sound of the Chen Bell basically never stopped.

This also shows that Li Qian never leaves the Divine Sword Sect.

It was impossible for Li Qian to say that he was a time traveler and that he was not familiar with his family. He could only simply recount the experience of this body in a calm tone.

"You still have the mentality of a child. No matter how bad your family members are, they are still your family after all."

Zhou Buping shook his head and sighed, "Do you want to hear about your teacher's past?"

"If the master wants to speak, the disciple will naturally want to listen."

Li Qian nodded.

He was quite curious about how his master had stayed in Yanmen Valley for decades, wasting his precious time and finally ending up alone.

"My experience when I was young was actually similar to yours. My mother died early and my father was harsh, so I was also very rebellious. Since my family was engaged in business and had a small fortune, my father had high hopes for me since I was a child, hoping that I could inherit his family business. But I was not interested in business at all. Instead, I yearned for the kind of chivalrous and righteous life in the novels. Unfortunately, my aptitude was average, so I could only be a chores disciple in the Divine Sword Sect. This lasted for five or six years. In order to raise resources for my practice, my father almost emptied the family's wealth, but I was unable to enter the rank. My father asked me to give up martial arts and go back to help him. I was unwilling to do so, and we had a big quarrel. From that time on, my father cut off all my financial resources, and my practice almost came to a standstill. Until more than a year later, I suddenly received bad news. My family had offended someone, and my father was framed and imprisoned. In the end, our house was raided, and my father and several relatives all died tragically in prison."

Zhou Buping calmly narrated the past.

His expression was calm, neither sad nor happy.

Li Qian also listened quietly.

He could sense a hint of unrest in his master's heart from these calm words.

"After I heard the news, I was devastated. This was the biggest blow I have ever suffered in my life. I used to hate my father, but in the end I realized that he was the most important person in my heart."

Zhou Buping suddenly laughed at himself, "Perhaps it was the hatred that supported me. Since then, I seemed to have awakened. My sword-piercing and fist-training skills have advanced by leaps and bounds. In just three years, with almost no training resources, I opened up my Ren and Du meridians, successfully completed the martial arts entry level, and practiced my sword-piercing and fist-training to perfection. In the end, I also inherited the Wuxin Sword Art."

"Although I later avenged my father and relatives, they no longer survived."

Zhou Buping looked at Li Qian, "I just want to use my personal experience to tell you that if there is anyone in the world who cares about you, it must be your family."

Li Qian fell silent.

Because he knew that what the Master said was right.

But his situation is really different.

How to explain it?
"So, you should go home more often in the future, and try not to become the biggest regret in your heart."

After Zhou Buping finished speaking, he patted Li Qian's shoulder with a serious tone.

"Master, I remember."

Li Qian said quickly.

Regardless of whether you listen or not, you still have to have the right attitude.

Cough
Zhou Buping talked too much and couldn't help coughing violently, even coughing up blood.

Li Qian hurried over to pat him on the back, and he recovered after a while.

In this way, Zhou Buping settled down in Chenzhongtai.

Li Qian practices by ringing the bell every day.

Zhou Buping spent most of his time lying in bed. As his Qi sea was damaged, he could not circulate Qi for healing. He could only take various pills every day and recuperate.

After a period of time, Zhou Buping's injuries did not worsen and seemed to have stabilized.

Li Qian guessed that the sound of Chen Zhong should have played some role.

More than three months passed like this.

During this period, Li Qian took good care of Zhou Buping.

Except for the first half month or so when he needed Li Qian's care, Zhou Buping was basically able to take care of himself as his injuries gradually improved.

During this period, elders and peak masters from the Divine Sword Sect came to visit one after another.

Especially the leader of the Divine Sword Sect, he was very surprised at Zhou Buping's recovery speed.

On this day, after Li Qian struck the Chen Bell, he began to practice the Immaculate Sword Body. After practicing it once, he felt relaxed and refreshed. Now, the burden on the meridians caused by practicing the Immaculate Sword Body is basically very small and can be ignored.

Suddenly, he had an idea and summoned the system interface to check the latest information.

Host: Li Qian.

Cultivation level: acquired (ninth level 99/100).

Sacrificial vessel: Chen bell (French 1252/10000).

Martial arts: Sword Stab Fist (perfect), Heartless Sword Technique (perfect), Immaculate Sword Body (great success 26/100).

Martial Intention: Unintentional Sword Intention (Virtual Image 93/100).

Secret Technique: All-transforming Sword Qi.

The current progress of the Immaculate Sword Body has reached the 26th level of perfection.

Basically, you can make some progress every ten days.

As for the Wuxin Sword Intent, it is even more difficult and it will take at least twelve days to make some progress.

At the current rate of progress, it would take at least two to three years to perfect the Immaculate Sword Body.

The progress of Wuxin Sword Intent has reached ninety-three. If he is to break through, it may happen in the next few months.

Above the virtual image level of martial intent is the illusion level.

If we talk about virtual-level martial intent, it can only bring a certain mental shock to the enemy.

Illusion-level martial power can make the affected person feel as if they are in a fantasy world, with all kinds of auditory and visual hallucinations, unable to extricate themselves.

An innate warrior who has comprehended the phantom-level martial arts is called a martial arts master.

So now he is a little bit looking forward to whether he can improve his martial arts to the illusion level without entering the innate level?
After getting down from the bell tower, Li Qian saw his master Zhou Buping teaching Chen Yong sword and jab.

Maybe I'm just bored.

Perhaps the master saw his former self in Chen Yong.

So Zhou Buping would often give guidance to Chen Yong.

Compared with Li Qian, Zhou Buping's martial arts attainments are naturally much higher, so he can naturally give better advice.

Now Chen Yong has opened up the Du Meridian and is attacking the last of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the Ren Meridian.

Once you can break through, you can become a high-level warrior.

Li Qian just took a look and started to cook lunch.

With his master around, Li Qian can't be too casual about his three meals a day.

When he has prepared the meal, he calls the master to eat.

"Grandpa, I'm going down the mountain first."

Chen Yong said quickly.

"You should stay for dinner too."

Li Qian said.

Chen Yong felt a little embarrassed.

It's okay to eat there once in a while, but if you stay here to eat often, it's a big bargain.

Because he knew what Brother Qian ate for every meal.

Being able to get guidance from the old man and Brother Qian helped him avoid many detours. In fact, he is very satisfied.

"Stop being so fussy."

Li Qian looked at the shy and honest boy and said with a stern face.

Chen Yong had no choice but to enter the house.

In addition to a large bowl of medicinal meat porridge, there was a plate of fried meat with horseradish, a plate of braised chicken cubes, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

The last three dishes use only common ingredients.

What matters is the taste.

Because Master Zhou Buping loves to eat.

Li Qian served himself and Chen Yong a large bowl of medicinal meat porridge.

For him, the effect of this medicinal meat was better than nothing, but it was a great tonic for Chen Yong.

Chen Yong does not have enough resources for cultivation. Although he practices hard, it can easily lead to a deficiency of Qi and blood in the body, which is not conducive to the opening of the Ren and Du meridians.

That's why Li Qian often invites Chen Yong to have dinner with him.
