The Returning Sword Saint's

Chapter 5: Sand Clock Controller Space & Time

It had been three days since the Xiao Ming assault incident. During this time, Xiao Yun did not just sit still.

Xiao Yun had been physically training with body stretches. Every morning he would draw water that would help him in physical training, in the afternoon he would practice martial arts fighting, in the afternoon he would meditate on breathing with the God Breathing Menthod, in the afternoon he would meditate on breathing with the God Breathing Menthod, and at night he will examine something in his inner realm.

Although this method was a common practice of a child practicing in martial arts, but the results Xiao Yun obtained were quite satisfying.

After successfully opening the four meridian points with the God Breathing Menthod; the circulation Xiao Yun absorbed was much greater than imagined.

His efforts proved successful because he had broken through to the Qi Gathering realm four after six years of stalling. In just three days, he was actually able to break through without the help of pills or medicine.

In normal cases, it should have taken longer at least seven days or so even though Xiao Yun had a great method like the God Breathing Menthod. The biggest reason why Xiao Yun could go faster was because of the hourglass in his inner realm.

Xiao Yun discovered that the hourglass in his inner realm was also related to the Golden Silk Seal he had obtained in his previous life.

Who would have guessed that the Golden Silk Seal held an incredible treasure that not even many people in the Spirit World knew about.

The hourglass is his own treasure. Xiao Yun did not know why the Sand Clock could be stored in his inner realm, but he guessed that this was a soul bound treasure.

In the Spirit World, the soul bound treasure was just a rumor and became a society myth. But who would have thought that Xiao Yun would see it even have it this time.

According to the records, if a person has a soul tied treasure, then if that person is killed, then that treasure will also be destroyed.

There is no record of whether the treasure will also reincarnate to its owner, because no one knows and can confirm it.

Xiao Yun also did not know for sure, but he was overwhelmed with excitement at obtaining a treasure that was even capable of shaking the Spirit World if this news came out.

After several times researching in his inner realm, Xiao Yun confirmed that this Mysterious Sand Clock had 10 unlockable abilities.

Those ten abilities seemed to be related to the laws of space and time; one of the 3000 laws of the world that was difficult to master.

One of the lowest and most open abilities today is the 'Time Speed' ability'. As the name implies, this can speed up a situation.

Xiao Yun had experimented that with Time Acceleration, he could absorb qi faster than imagined.

At least 1.5 times faster than normal.

Xiao Yun also discovered that not only could he use the time acceleration just to cultivate, but he could also move faster than his normal speed, recovering stamina faster, as well, and develop body strength faster.

Despite the many advantages of this ability, but Xiao Yun was also worried that his lifespan would also grow faster.

What if in just the next three years, Xiao Yun's appearance would grow like that of a middle-aged man. Although Xiao Yun did not care much about appearance, it would be a problem if known to people.

Moreover, it would also be a bit strange if seen by his mother. Although his mother was already three-headed, but her appearance was still quite youthful.

A young woman had a middle-aged child. Although this was normal in the cultivation world, but the growth of an age that was too fast also somewhat made him worried.

Although the effects of the current acceleration of time can still be ignored, but if it continues to be used then it will clearly be seen. Fortunately, Xiao Yun could control the acceleration of time as per his needs, so this was quite a relief.

But Xiao Yun also had to resolve this matter as early as possible, the sooner applying it would be better.

Suddenly Xiao Yun remembered something.

"I can solve the problem of aging, by consuming Young Endurance Pills. Although this pill only had one use - preserving its outward youthful appearance and not being able to stop the aging of its bones, but with this it could solve the problem." Xiao Yun stroked his chin and thought of a plan.

"It seems like I really have to be an Alchemist to concoct pills in the future. Huft, Tian Feng, I am somewhat grateful that you used to force me to learn how to concoct pills. You even taught me the secret science from your teacher about refining a high-level pill that shouldn't leak to others. I don't know if I should be grateful or vengeful to you this time ..." Feeling nostalgic Xiao Yun shook his head.

"But first of all I must have a cauldron and a certain spirit plant as the main ingredients, whereas I currently have none at all ..." Xiao Yun touched his temple thinking.

Suddenly a thought flashed through his mind and he smiled brightly.

"Well, let's do it."

Lantian is a small town with a population of about 7.5 million. The city was still a small part of the entire vast Dongfang Kingdom.

Although overall this city is very insignificant compared to other small towns due to the low cultivation level in this city. But this city can last a very long time because of the processing of resources very well.

The main reason the city can survive is also because there are several strong affiliates that support the well-being of the city.

There were four clans in Lantian City, such as the Zhao Clan, Chen Clan, Du Clan and Xiao Clan. There were also three affiliated powers about refining medicine such as Living Hall, Thrifty Hall, and Farmers Hall.

{A/N: Healthy Hall, Save Hall, Farmer} Hall

Although each affiliate was at odds with each other, but it was only for the sake of their respective advantages, they would not dare to mess with Lantian City because it was in the jurisdiction of Dongfang Kingdom.

In Lantian City many districts are divided because of their uniqueness, and the most famous district in Lantian City is Haohua District. Haohua District is famous for being the commercial and entertainment center of Lantian City. Three branch buildings of the drug purification affiliation are also housed here.

{A/N: ( ⁇ )Haohua, meaning 'luxury'}

In a place in Haohua District, there is a seven-story pagoda with ancient but magnificent architecture. In front of the entrance of this pagoda, there is a large plaque with hanzi calligraphy style that reads 'Living Hall' makes every pedestrian who sees it amazed.

There was a person wearing a robe standing in front of the building. The man looked at the large plaque and smiled. Then the person entered the entrance along with the crowd passing by.

In the reception room, the cloaked man found many people who seemed to have their own businesses, he turned his attention to a beautiful woman in her twenties in front of a table who seemed busy writing the document archives.

The robed man finally approached the receptionist.

"Miss, can I meet with your boss?"

The beautiful woman was shocked to hear this and immediately turned her gaze to the cloaked person.

"Sorry sir, have you made an appointment?" Beautiful women speak politely.

"I haven't, but I have to meet with your boss." The robed person spoke casually.

The beautiful woman frowned then spoke, "Sorry sir, if you haven't made an appointment, you won't be able to meet the Hallmaster. The Hallmaster was a busy person and not an ordinary person who could meet him carelessly. If you don't have any more business here, then the exit is right over there."
