Chapter 687: Following
After four years of beast hunting, Qin Sang’s cultivation had advanced significantly.
Since forming his core, he had begun inscribing the fifth killing symbol onto the ebony sword, which once again accelerated his cultivation speed.
It was said that Seven-Kill Hall was generally opened once every seventy to eighty years. If all went smoothly, Qin Sang would break through to the middle stage of the Core Formation Realm long before its next opening.
The factions planning to breach the array would announce it in advance. At that time, cultivators wishing to enter Seven-Kill Hall would need to acquire a qualification according to the stated requirements. Those who missed the window would not be considered.
When that time came, Qin Sang would have Qiongyu Merchant Guild keep a close watch on the matter so he wouldn’t miss the opportunity to enter Seven-Kill Hall.
Aside from himself, both the Sky-Eyed Butterfly and the fat silkworm were also advancing rapidly.
Three years ago, the Sky-Eyed Butterfly successfully transitioned to the late stage of its first metamorphosis and now hovered just a breath away from its second. Once it reached the peak of the first metamorphosis, Qin Sang planned to feed it Crimson Fire Gilded Gold to help it evolve.
As for the fat silkworm, only half of its inner core remained, but its cultivation had nearly reached the middle stage of its second metamorphosis. Qin Sang had even offered it demonic cores obtained from his hunts, yet it remained completely uninterested.
Now, five years had passed since leaving Duyan Island.
With most of the pills he had brought nearly depleted, Qin Sang began considering a return to the island.
