Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch

A unique medicinal fragrance was emitted.

He tried to contact this fragrance with his Perfect Holy Body and found it non-toxic.

But... what exactly was the effect of this elixir, he did not understand.

So, he decided to experiment on a large rat to test the effects of the Demon Pills.

He scraped off a little powder and sprinkled it into the cage.

The reason he did not force-feed it was to observe the large rat's reaction.

The large rat sniffed at the powder, seemingly interested yet vigilantly watching Li Qian, not daring to move.

Li Qian smiled, turned around, and walked away, but his Spiritual Perception stayed focused on the large rat.

At first, the rat continued to watch its surroundings cautiously before slowly crawling towards the powder.

To Li Qian's surprise, the rat licked the powder, finishing it all and even seemed to crave more.

After finishing the powder, the large rat suddenly became anxious and restless.

Li Qian keenly sensed a shocking change in the rat's life state as if the Qi Blood condition inside its body was skyrocketing.

Before long, the rat squeaked loudly and violently slammed into the cage, hitting itself bloody, seemingly indifferent to the pain.

Suddenly, the large rat's body exploded violently into a bloody mess.

Flesh and blood were everywhere inside and outside the cage.

"This...."

Seeing this, Li Qian was speechless.

He understood that the medicinal properties of the elixir were too strong, causing an intense increase in Qi Blood within the rat's fragile body, which it couldn't withstand, hence it exploded and died.

"Thank goodness I didn't feed Little Black directly; it would have probably met the same fate."

Li Qian sighed heavily.

He guessed that this elixir was consumed by the wolf demon.

That wolf demon was at least of the Martial Saint Level... How could its elixir be anything but highly potent?

He even doubted if he would encounter some problems should he consume it himself.

Of course... he definitely wouldn't explode; after all, his physical strength was tremendously formidable.

But compared to that wolf demon, he was certainly far behind.

Without understanding the real effects and pitfalls of the elixir, he wouldn't dare to consume such Demon Pills.

For the next period, besides practicing at the Chen Bell Platform, Li Qian added another task, which was conducting experiments on the lab rats.

One by one, the large rats became his sacrifices.

Although he reduced the dose each time... for the large rats, the elixir was still terrifying.

Eventually, he had no choice but to dissolve it in water to dilute its potency... and finally, one of the large rats survived.

Moreover, this large rat grew significantly in a very short span of time.

"Looks like this elixir can not only greatly enhance Qi Blood but can also break the limits of the original biological form."

Li Qian recorded the data.

Next, he switched the test subjects to other animals, like birds and insects.

For this purpose, he even built a wooden hut nearby to serve as the experimental base.

He also ordered a batch of cages from the Chores Hall.

Thus, several months passed.

The frontline battles were extremely fierce, continuously in a state of tension.

The city of Ye had not been reclaimed.

The King Luo's mansion at the Qi River had very stringent defensive arrangements.

Although breakthroughs were made multiple times, every attempt ended up in a heavy encirclement, forcing them to retreat.

The losses on both sides were extremely severe.

It was said that not only the Tai Xing Dao Feng Kingdom but also many other areas in Da Chang had experienced massive rebellions.

Night.

The moon shone brightly in the sky, casting a silvery glow that veiled the ground in a hazy light.

Li Qian sat cross-legged in the wooden hut.

Since building this hut, he had moved his nighttime cultivation here, also keeping an eye on the lab rats.

At the moment, he held a demon stone in his hand, operating the Pure Holy Body technique, absorbing the Demon Energy.

As the Demon Energy entered, his body's Qi Blood, which had mostly turned golden, was revitalized.

However, compared to the violent reactions before, it was now much smoother.

This indicated that his body's adaptability to Demon Energy had undergone a significant improvement.

After his cultivation session, Li Qian slowly opened his eyes and summoned the system interface to check the latest information.

Chen Bell (Law 4638/10000).

Innate True Pill (Early Stage 31/100).

Perfect Holy Body (Great Success 99/100).

Heartless Sword Intent (True Image Level 46/100).

...

"The Pure Holy Body is almost reaching perfection."

Li Qian smiled after seeing the progress of the Pure Holy Body.

Moreover, he had a feeling... that he could achieve perfection anytime he wished.

Because he didn't feel the same stagnation at 99 points as he did last time with the Pure Holy Body.

As for his cultivation realm, it had now reached the early stage of the True Pill Realm at 31 points.

Now, advancing one point in the cultivation realm took an average of less than four days.

Previously in the Late Stage of the True Essence Realm, it took five to six days to progress one point.

Although he had entered the True Pill Realm, his cultivation progress had not slowed down; instead, it had become faster.

This was inseparably linked to the enhancement of the Pure Holy Body.

As for the Heartless Sword Intent, although progressing slowly, it had also surpassed half of the threshold.

It was quite promising.

"The Pure Holy Body is about to reach perfection, it might be time to try breaking through elsewhere."

With that thought, Li Qian made up his mind, immediately donned a black cloak, and left the Chen Bell Platform heading beyond the Divine Sword Sect.
