Chapter 595 Chapter 595 – Three Months

After chopping the man down, Xiao Han walked forward and casually found a place to sit down. Then, he let out a long sigh and looked forward.

He looked at the man’s fallen body, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face. Under his gaze, the man’s body in front of him began to change. Various reactions began to appear, and at this moment, it was transforming

The ancient sword extracted all the blood essence from the body and fused it into the ancient sword. Then, after some unique changes, it was injected into Xiao Han’s body, allowing him to begin growing.

The next moment, Xiao Han’s face revealed a look of joy. Then, he sat down and began to cultivate.

This was a rule that he had recently discovered. When the ancient sword gave feedback, the effect of meditation and breathing would be much better than usual. It seemed to be affected by the ancient sword.

After sitting on the spot and meditating for more than an hour, Xiao Han stopped and looked around.

“I’m already at the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage…”

After ending his meditation, he felt his current situation and couldn’t help but feel a little happy.

Before entering this Sword Tomb, he was only an ordinary cultivator in the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Stage. Even if he wanted to advance to the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Stage, it was still far away. He didn’t know how long he would have to wait.

But now, in just this short period, his cultivation had achieved a leap-like growth, directly reaching the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage.

If this speed were known by others outside, they would probably be shocked.

Even though the Qi Refinement Stage was only the foundation of cultivation, it was precisely because there wasn’t much room for trickery, and one had to step up step by step.

At this level, even those legendary prodigies would take a long time and couldn’t complete it in a short period.

But at this moment, Xiao Han directly went from the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Stage to the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage within three months.

This was even the result of him restraining himself. He had to kill people using the ancient sword to have any feedback. Although Xiao Han had met many outsiders during this period, the opportunity to slay was different. There was nothing he could do.

Most of those outsiders were in groups. Many were at the Foundation Establishment Stage and even outsiders at the Spirit Transformation Stage.

If it weren’t for the ancient sword in his hand, Xiao Han would have been caught by those people long ago.

Even with the ancient sword, he didn’t dare to attract too much attention, only stealthily making his move.

Still, he had advanced from the fifth level to the eighth level of the Qi Refinement Stage within a short time.

‘If I continue to kill like this, it won’t be long before I reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.’

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xiao Han tightly gripped the ancient sword in his hand as this thought flashed through his mind.

The Foundation Establishment Stage was considered an elite level even in the Qionghua Sword Sect. If he were sent outside, he would be qualified to become the leader of a garrison and command many resources.

This level was also something that many disciples in the Qionghua Sword Sect dreamed

of.

In the past, Xiao Han had also fantasized about the scene when he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, he had never thought that all of this would be so close to him one day. It was as if he could touch it with just his hand.

Thinking of this, his hand couldn’t help but tremble, and he tightened the grip on the ancient sword in his hand. With his current speed of improvement, he could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As long as he could get out alive, then with the ancient sword’s ability, let alone the Foundation Establishment Stage, it was possible, even at a higher level.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he could get out alive.

‘More than three months have passed. The sword sect’s magic formation will open within half a month…’.

Xiao Han held the ancient sword in his hand as various thoughts flashed through his mind. ‘In this half a month, I must think of a way to find senior Song…’.

With the ancient sword, he now had a beautiful future. However, if he wanted to have all of this, the prerequisite was that he could leave this Sword Tomb alive.

Otherwise, if he stayed here, even if he weren’t killed by the group of people outside, he would be trapped here and die.

This Sword Tomb was completely set up to raise soldiers. There were no living beings in it. Humans couldn’t live in it for a long time.

Xiao Han hadn’t reached the level where he could fast forever. If he stayed here for a long time, he would probably starve to death when he ran out of the fasting pills that he brought

in.

To prevent such a situation, he had to leave this place. And to leave this place, he had to rely on the magic formation that the Qionghua Sword Sect had activated.

According to what he learned, the magic formation of the Qionghua Sword Sect would activate five months after they entered. Based on his calculation of time, it was not far away

now.

Therefore, during this period, Xiao Han had to think of a way to get close to the position where the magic formation was activated. This was also the reason why he went to look for Song Qingruo.

The position where the magic formation was activated had long been exposed. During this period, the group of strangers who had entered this place had already killed many Qionghua Sword Sect disciples.

Some things that only the Qionghua Sword Sect disciples knew had long been known to outsiders. Especially the position where the magic formation was activated.

If Xiao Han went alone, he would probably have to face more than one or two people. Therefore, he had to find Song Qingruo.

Unlike him, Song Qingruo was in the Spirit Transformation Stage. This level of cultivation was considered top-notch even among the outsiders.

Moreover, Xiao Han firmly believed that even if the Qionghua Sword Sect might abandon any one of them, they would never abandon Song Qingruo, who had the sword body and was the daughter of the Qionghua Sword Sect’s master.

When the Qionghua Sword Sect sensed something was wrong, they would immediately send people to this place to search for Song Qingruo. At that time, it would be the best chance to leave.

After meditating on the spot, Xiao Han stood up again and looked outside. As expected, everything was calm. There didn’t seem to be many people around.

But even so, Xiao Han was still extremely vigilant and cautiously approached another area.

In this area, he could feel the thick stench of blood. There seemed to be a great battle going on there. He carefully approached, and when he reached there, he was immediately shocked.

Countless corpses littered the ground. The corpses lay on the ground, and fresh blood splattered everywhere, looking exceptionally dense. From the aura that remained in the surroundings, it could be felt that an intense battle had occurred here. A terrifying aura spread out from the surroundings, distorting the Gen Qi in this area.

And the aura coming from the corpses on the ground also made one’s heart palpitate.

‘Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, and there’s a lot of them…’.

Standing on the spot, Xiao Han roughly checked for a moment and then made a judgment in his heart. ‘It’s a trace of the Qionghua sword technique.

‘Who did it?’

This thought flashed through his mind, and then the image of a woman’s appearance flashed through his mind subconsciously.

She was good at the Qionghua sword technique, and she could kill so many Foundation Establishment Cultivators with such a method. Who else could it be?

Was it Song Qingruo? Was she nearby?

This thought flashed through Xiao Han’s mind, but at this moment, his attention was completely attracted to the corpses in front of him.

Looking at these corpses, he couldn’t help but lick his lips. Then, he strode forward and stabbed his sword into one of the corpses.

Then, a strange change began to happen. The corpse in front of him quickly withered and turned into a dried corpse, just like the enemies that Xiao Han had killed before.

The familiar warm current surged again and entered Xiao Han’s body, making him happy.

It wasn’t only possible to get feedback from the ancient sword by killing someone personally. It was also possible to extract from corpses directly, but the feedback would be much less, and the rewards wouldn’t be as great as killing the enemy personally. This was something that Xiao Han had discovered by accident some time ago.

Looking at the corpses all over the ground, Xiao Han’s face was filled with joy. According to what he had discovered previously, the feedback from directly absorbing the blood qi of the corpses was relatively weak, less than one-third of what he had killed the enemy.

But even so, judging from the number of corpses in this place, it was not a small number. And there were probably six or seven Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators.

Absorbing all of them was equivalent to personally killing two Foundation establishment stage cultivators. Thinking of this, Xiao Han couldn’t help but speed up his actions.

He repeated the action on all the corpses in the surroundings using the ancient sword. Then, without staying to search for treasures, he turned around and left.

These people should not have died for too long from the traces left behind, but it would have been a while if he had stayed for too long. Who knew if there would be any enemies here.

When that time came, it would be troublesome. Since he had already obtained the greatest benefit, it was better to turn around and leave.

He thought so in his heart. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he chose a direction and left. As he moved forward, he found a secret place before relaxing. He sat down cross-legged and began meditating.

The energy within the ancient sword was still surging continuously, surging into his body. This energy transformed Xiao Han’s body, making his physique stronger and his cultivation more profound. Even Xiao Han’s aptitude seemed to have improved to a certain extent.

During this period, Xiao Han felt that the speed at which he absorbed Gen Qi had increased by a lot, and his aptitude had also increased

This made him even happier, and he placed higher importance on the ancient sword in his hand. The ancient sword in his hand was simply a Heavenly Weapon in his heart. It could increase one’s cultivation and even increase mysterious aspects like aptitude so quickly.

And this price was only to kill a few people.

In his hand, the black ancient sword trembled slightly. At this moment, there were already many changes.

It seemed that because he had killed many people during this period, the mottled spots on the ancient sword had already faded a lot, revealing part of its original appearance. The glazed sword body had fine lines appearing on it. It seemed to carry a mysterious principle between heaven and earth, interwoven into a piece which was exceptionally unique.
