However, Cui Yifan and the others did leave some valuable things for Qi Tian.

The three of them had documented in detail how they advanced to the Gold Core Realm. This was incredible reference material. As Qi Tian was on the verge of a breakthrough, having detailed records from three Gold Core Realm cultivators was clearly invaluable for him.

In addition, Qi Tian found several techniques, including the main techniques they practiced, as well as several supplementary techniques. Some of these were quite good. Two were left by Zhao Haiying, one of which was his principal technique called Huayin Skill. According to the records, this technique can be practiced all the way to the Nascent Soul Realm, making it extraordinarily precious.

The other was a technique used for hiding one’s aura. Zhao Haiying was able to conceal his fifth-level Gold Core Realm cultivation as the fourth level without being discovered by others, all due to this technique.

This technique was called Breath Concealment Skill, which was mainly used by Gold Core Realm experts to hide their aura. Qi Tian had previously obtained another aura-hiding technique called “Heavenly Deception Skills”, but compared to it, this Breath Concealment Skill was more targeted. As for which was more effective, he was not yet sure. He would need to experiment to find out.

Qi Tian also paid particular attention to the evasion artifact used by Qian Menchao. From Qian Menchao’s numerous books, Qi Tian found a reference to this artifact. He learned that the artifact that could emit thousands of white lights and form a cocoon of light was called the Guangsuo Sword. It was a speed-class artifact, and based on the materials used and the refining method, Guangsuo Swords had different speeds. Regardless of the version, all were far superior to flying swords of the same level. This was why Qian Menchao, despite knowing Qi Tian’s strength, waited until the last minute to flee. However, Qian Menchao didn’t expect Qi Tian to have a treasured artifact like the Immortal Crane Bronze Statue. This caught him off guard, leading to his tragic death at Qi Tian’s hands.

The Immortal Crane Bronze Statue was unique and extremely difficult to replicate, but the Guangsuo Sword was different. Qi Tian not only obtained the method of refining the Guangsuo Sword, but also a sample of it. In the future, as long as he found an appropriate opportunity, he could potentially mass-produce it. At that time, whether he used it to equip his subordinates or sell externally, both would be excellent choices.

Apart from these techniques and the Guangsuo Sword, Qi Tian also obtained numerous other items. There was quite a lot of them, and although they didn’t make him rich overnight, they did compensate for his battlefield expenses and even left some surplus.

Qi Tian used the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine to scan the area around his tent. Noticing the situation outside to be quiet, and the presence of Gao Jinmei and others he had assigned to protect him, he concluded that the Northern Expedition Army’s campaign was proceeding smoothly without any accidents. Under such circumstances, he didn’t need to leave his cultivation retreat urgently. After some thought, Qi Tian decided to continue his closed-door cultivation for another few days. He had experienced a lot recently, including a brutal battle, and felt a deficiency in his cultivation realm, so he really needed to advance a bit.

Qi Tian acted swiftly. He set up an Array of Spirit Gathering in the tent and took out a lot of Stone Milk Essence. He was ingesting the Stone Milk Essence while cultivating with the Spirit Gathering array.

This retreat lasted about ten days. Qi Tian was using the best cultivation resources he could find, and his techniques were also great. Therefore, after those few days, his cultivation level rose significantly. However, he was still far from the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Although his cultivation speed had slowed down again, Qi Tian was not in a hurry. His current cultivation was all preparation for the future breakthrough to the Gold Core stage. The more solid his foundation, the better the outcome after the breakthrough.

Qi Tian no longer forced himself to keep cultivating. If he continued his cultivation retreat, he didn’t know how much longer it would last. While he didn’t mind cultivating over a long period, he still had many things to do outside. He had to deal with the matter of Prince Zhao, and he owed a favor in Wanjie City, which he must repay. Otherwise, he might not be able to go back to Wanjie City in the future.

Qi Tian packed up everything in the tent and walked out. Gao Jinmei, who was guarding outside the tent, let out a sigh of relief when she saw Qi Tian. As their master, regardless of the master-servant relationship that had developed over time, the Servant Pact alone meant that if Qi Tian died before the pact’s duration expired, they would be greatly affected. At the very least, they would suffer the backlash of the pact, suffer severe injuries, and lose one or two minor cultivation stages, which were quite commonplace. Fortunately, Qi Tian was safe and sound now, so they were unharmed.

“Master, it’s great that you’re well,” Gao Jinmei, who was standing at the entrance of the tent, said to Qi Tian as she was the first to pay her respects.

Qi Tian nodded and said, “Thank you for your hard work. Inform everyone to prepare. We’re about to hit the road.”

Gao Jinmei hurriedly said, “Master, we still have two prisoners at hand, and nobody knows how to deal with them. Now that you are out, please give us directions.”
