Chapter 28 Blood Contract

Chapter 28 Blood Contract

An hour later.

After Li Nanting was confident that Li Guanqi was able to cultivate the scripture on his own, he walked out of the meditation without a word. The most challenging part had already passed, and he didnt need to worry about the rest.

After Li Nanting left, Li Guanqi, who had still been practicing, suddenly opened his eyes. He turned his head to look at the sword coffin by his feet! Li Guanqi stood it upright and carefully examined it, studying the engravings of creatures and monsters carved on the stone.

Before, he had asked Li Nanting if he recognized any of these creatures, but Li Nanting had firmly told him that these creatures simply didnt exist. They were just products of the carvers imagination.

Apart from the four great divine beasts carved on it, almost all the other creatures couldnt be found in the sects bestiary. Li Guanqi remained silent for a long time and then suddenly knelt down in front of the sword coffin.

However, after waiting for half a day, there was still no response. The young man got up with some confusion and wondering, Just what are you?

Didnt master mention that these sword coffins have some unimaginable treasure inside?

Li Guanqi scratched his head, feeling troubled. He had noticed the sword coffin flashing red earlier, as he was cultivating the Nine Revolutions Thunder Scripture.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Back when he was choosing his spiritual root, nobody knew what had happened inside the barrier set by Lu Kangnian. But he was clear about why he had chosen a Lightning affinity Spirit Root.

It was because at that moment, he had inexplicably felt a connection, and almost instinctively, he knew he had to choose Lightning.

This included when he was in the library, he could have chosen another cultivation technique. But it was because he felt a stirring within the sword coffin that he had chosen this incomplete technique.

Li Guanqi fell into silence for a while, and decided to try something. He bit his finger, and blood dripped onto the coffin.

It still showed no reaction, leaving Li Guanqi at a loss again.

Dont these types of things usually require a blood connection? Thats what I read in the stories.

Suddenly, the young mans eyes glinted.

I must have not offered enough blood!

Li Guanqi used a knife to make a larger cut, causing blood to spill like a stream atop the sword coffin.

Li Nanting came into the room after a small while to check up on his disciple, stumbling upon a shocking scene! The young mans face was pale, and he lay fainted on top of his sword coffin. The blood he had offered was already dried on top of the engravings, bathing the stone monsters in his blood.

He panicked, flashing beside his disciple to check on his condition.

The elderly man walked out of the gate, his eyes tightly closed. He couldnt help but feel a mix of emotions, somewhere between laughter and tears

Li Guanqi, who had witnessed his masters anger, finally had no choice but to tell the truth.

Sitting in Li Guanqis courtyard had an additional cheeky girl who liked to mooch food and drinks.

Yu Suian, who still had two broken ribs, endured the intense pain and even came down from the mountain to mock him once she found out that Li Guanqi had fainted because of what had happened.

Hahaha, that blind fool is even dumber than me!

So stupid, he fainted from losing too much blood, how embarrassing!

Li Guanqi paid no attention to the girls words and continued to practice on the training post as usual, as if he hadnt heard her.

This was already his third replacement post.

Afterwards, Li Guanqi visited the sects library again and randomly selected a set of sword techniques. It was called the Azure Lotus Heavenly Sword Art. The iron sword in his hand was also provided by Li Nanting from the sects armory. It was a standard sword given to all sect disciples.

Although the Great Xia Sword Sect was a sword sect and had the most disciples practicing sword techniques, it didnt mean that everyone was suitable for sword cultivation. There were many who chose to practice other weapons.

During these two days, Li Guanqi had completely stabilized the foundation of his Qi Refining cultivation. The speed of the cyclone inside his body was increasing rapidly.

In the meantime, Li Nanting came to check on him a few times and found that he had not tried to create a blood contract with the sword coffin again, which put his mind at ease.

These days, Li Guanqi had hardly left his own courtyard, practicing swordsmanship every day. However, he was not practicing the Azure Lotus Heavenly Sword Art but instead repeatedly drilled the foundational basics of the sword.

And so, a month has passed since Li Guanqi first joined the sect!

During this month, his breakthrough speed was considered the best in the history of the Great Xia Sword Sect! In just one month, he had gone from the first layer of Qi Refining to the fifth layer, a speed unprecedented in the sects history.

But it wasnt just Li Guanqi who stood out; Ye Feng from the Heavenly Metal Peak had recently broken through to the fourth layer of Qi Refining. Lin Dong from the Heavenly Earth Peak had reached the third layer of Qi Refining, and it wouldnt be long before he reached the fourth layer.

However, Li Guanqi consistently outperformed these two. This blind young man was already considered the senior disciple among his peers, and rightly so!

Every time he went to the cafeteria, everyone would clear a path for him voluntarily. Wherever he went, he was treated like the center of attention, and everyone treated him with respect.

In fact, things were going a bit too smoothly for him
