Chapter 0486: Bone Dragon

After Qin Yun took the talisman, golden patterns formed on the ground, creating a teleportation array.

"The Solar Arcane Sigil is really something!" Qin Yun held it in his hand, feeling its warmth there.

This talisman had been here for years, yet it still felt freshly made.

Yang Shiyue walked over and smiled. "If all goes well, you could get two more Yang Spirits soon!"

"Getting that Yang Spirit won’t be easy!" Qin Yun smirked. "The Arcane Hall has spent years trying to find it without success. If I manage to get it, I’ll probably have to go through hell!"

"With me helping, you’ll get it for sure!" Yang Shiyue chuckled softly.

Qin Yun looked at the teleportation array on the ground and grinned. "Sister Yang, let’s go to the Ancient Garden now!"

"Alright!" Yang Shiyue nodded eagerly; she was clearly excited.

Qin Yun tried to activate the array but found it didn’t have enough energy.

"This teleportation array isn’t connected to the Martial City’s formation. It needs its own energy source," Qin Yun frowned. "This is likely to prevent the Martial City’s energy source from being destroyed, which would affect the teleportation array."

"How much energy do we need?" Yang Shiyue asked urgently.

"Probably about one billion Purple Crystal Coins," Qin Yun inspected the array and noticed several large bricks on the ground, specially crafted with large storage spaces inside to hold Purple Crystal Coins.

"That’s a ton! I don’t have that kind of money!" Yang Shiyue paced back and forth anxiously. "What do we do? Xiao Yun, you can make royal grade spiritual artifacts, right? Sell some to get the coins fast!"

Just as she was fretting, Qin Yun pulled out a Purple Crystal Card and smiled. "Sister Yang, don’t sweat it. I’ve got over seven billion here!"

Yang Shiyue was stunned when she saw the card Qin Yun handed her. She quickly took it and examined it.

"You… where did you get so many Purple Crystal Coins?" She gasped when she saw the number on the card.

"I made it myself!" Qin Yun grinned proudly and then told Yang Shiyue about how he and Mu Fengxiao had schemed to obtain the coins.

"You’re something, alright!" Yang Shiyue chuckled. "Alright, I’ll head out and help you exchange the coins."

"Okay, put them on your card. By the way, Sister Yang, do you have a large enough storage artifact? I need you to exchange thirty billion for me," Qin Yun said.

"No," Yang Shiyue shook her head, but she wasn’t worried since Qin Yun could make storage spirit artifacts.

Qin Yun quickly took out the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron and spent a few days making three storage boxes, each able to hold over a billion Purple Crystal Coins.

"Sister Yang, let’s split up and exchange the coins. It’ll be quicker," Qin Yun suggested.

If Yang Shiyue wanted to get that many coins, she’d have to hit up multiple Arcane Halls.

"No, you stay here and work on talismans and artifacts. Get ready for the Ancient Garden," Yang Shiyue smiled. "Xiao Yun, aren’t you afraid I’ll run off with all that cash?"

Qin Yun grinned. "Sister Yang isn’t the short-sighted type. You know being with me is far better than having those billions of coins!"

"True enough!" Yang Shiyue laughed and then left to exchange the coins.

Qin Yun stayed behind and began crafting various immobilization talismans and immobilization cannonballs, as well as using Mystic Grade Essence to forge three flying daggers.

Although he had some Dao Artifacts, none of them were suitable. The defensive armor was useful, but he would have to sell it later.

Yang Shiyue would need about a month to complete the exchange, which gave Qin Yun enough time to prepare.

A month had passed, and Qin Yun had crafted a hundred King-grade immobilization talismans, thirty cannonballs, and three flying daggers.

Yang Shiyue had not yet returned, which made Qin Yun somewhat worried.

He wasn’t worried that Yang Shiyue would run away, but rather that she might encounter danger.

"Brother Yun, you don’t need to worry! Sister Yang seems to have regained her past-life memories, and she’s much harder to deal with than you!" Mo Mo had also awakened the Little Jade Rabbit, and together with Yang Yang, they spent their days playing and frolicking in the storage space. Though they were three adorable little creatures, each of them possessed formidable abilities.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In the underground chamber, Qin Yun suddenly sensed the ground shaking.

"Is someone attacking the gate-protecting barrier?" Qin Yun quickly left the array base, made his body transparent, and dashed toward the gate.

As he approached the gate, he was stunned!

Outside the city gate stood a burly middle-aged man, dressed in rough black clothing, half of his face covered by a mask, wielding a spear carved with a dragon, attacking the gate-protecting barrier.

The man radiated an intimidating aura, appearing domineering and fierce.

"Father!" Qin Yun quickly revealed himself and shouted, "Stop attacking! That’s a barrier I worked hard to set up!"

The middle-aged man outside the gate was none other than Qin Long!

"Is that so? I thought someone was trying to lock down this city!" Qin Long laughed when he saw Qin Yun emerge.

Qin Yun quickly deactivated the gate-protecting barrier and let Qin Long in.

Seeing his father suddenly arrive, he was overjoyed.

"Kid, you’re truly my son, always stirring up trouble! You’ve thrown Wuhuang into chaos!" Qin Long patted Qin Yun’s head and laughed heartily.

"Father..."

"Don’t call me ‘Father.’ I’m just a self-proclaimed emperor in the borderland valleys!" Qin Long waved his hand dismissively.

Qin Yun smiled, "I’m used to it! Father, why have you come? How are things in the borderlands?"

"First, people from Moon Mystic Valley arrived, and then members of Darkmoon Palace appeared, recruiting many talented disciples. With them there, we can relax!" Qin Long patted Qin Yun’s shoulder and smiled.

When the Immortal Tomb was constructed, many sects participated and were subsequently wiped out, but their descendants remained in the borderlands. So, there were still many talented individuals there.

Qin Yun led his father to the array base and then called Mo Mo out.

He smiled and said, "Dad, let me borrow your Dragon Totem for a bit!"

"Hello, Uncle!" Mo Mo greeted Qin Long very politely.

"The Grand Priestess of the Demon Spirits! I knew she was still alive!" Qin Long laughed, then removed his mask.

Qin Yun took out all the remaining monster beast crystal eggs in his possession, making it easier for Mo Mo to replicate Qin Long’s Dragon Totem.

After two or three days, Mo Mo successfully replicated the Dragon Totem.

Qin Long put his mask back on and said, "Xiao Yun! Regarding the Immortal Tomb hidden in the Burial Immortal Map, you’d better not go looking for it! If you find it, the tomb will be exposed!"

"If you’re not strong enough to enter, the tomb will be taken over by others!"

"Father, Wuhuang has become like this now... Even with my high level of cultivation, I can't return!" Qin Yun sighed. "I might have to hide in Linghuang once I reach the Ling Martial realm; otherwise, I'll be driven away by the forces here!"

"The Nine Sun is guarding something, which is why it's like this! But this won't last long! So don't worry about not being able to return!" Qin Long said.

"Father, are there many secrets hidden in the borderlands?" Qin Yun asked in a low voice.

Qin Long nodded. "There are indeed many secrets! In any case, I'll be exploring the Yunlong Mountains for a while!"

He suddenly lowered his voice and continued, "By studying many ancient texts, I discovered a record stating that there's a passage in our borderlands leading to the Immortal Wasteland!"

"Back then, many immortals chose to build numerous immortal tombs in the Yunlong Mountains, likely because it was more convenient to access from that location!"

Qin Yun suddenly realized that his father's cultivation level was exceptionally high.

"Father, what's your current cultivation level? It seems way stronger than mine!" he asked curiously.

"I'm currently at the Ninth Layer Martial Path! I'm your father; of course, I'm stronger than you!" Qin Long laughed heartily. "I'll soon step into the Ling Martial realm!"

Qin Yun was shocked. He thought his own progress was fast enough, but Qin Long was way ahead.

"Father, how did you advance so quickly? Teach me, quick!"

Qin Long smiled. "My cultivation method isn't suitable for you! Everyone has their own way of cultivating, so don't push it; it's easy to mess up!"

"Okay!" Qin Yun paused for a moment, then led his father out of the array base.

Then, he brought out that dragon.

Qin Long was taken aback when he saw the dead dragon, then laughed in astonishment. "When I was young, I found this creature in the Yunlong Mountains. I never expected it to end up in your hands!"

Qin Long, with a happy smile on his face, soon couldn't laugh anymore because Qin Yun wanted him to do hard labor—stripping off the dragon's flesh and scales, leaving only the skeleton.

Qin Long was at the Ninth Layer Martial Path, and with the Dragon Totem, his strength was formidable.

This kind of free labor, Qin Yun wouldn't waste.

On the ground lay a complete, huge dragon skeleton. Although the dragon's blood had a hint of gold, the dragon bones were snow-white.

Qin Yun took out the Black Dragon Martial Spirit he had obtained earlier and quickly engraved the Dragon Totem on it using the Lingxi Mystic Brush.

He completed it in two days, then controlled the Black Dragon Martial Spirit to merge into the dragon bones.

"Xiao Yun, are you going to refine a puppet dragon?" Qin Long, seeing the Bone Dragon suddenly float up, exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes! But it's only a semi-finished product now. I'll find good materials later to add flesh, scales, and armor!" Qin Yun smiled. "But it can be used now. If there's enough energy, this Bone Dragon's combat power is still very strong!"

Qin Yun thought that it could at least withstand a Xuan Martial realm warrior for a while.

The original flesh, scales, and armor of this dragon were very useful, so Qin Yun could only use Xuan Steel or something similar later to refine this Bone Dragon into a Steel Dragon.

Seeing his son so capable, Qin Long felt much more at ease. He still had to return to the borderlands to explore the passage to the Immortal Wasteland, so he didn't stay long.

Qin Yun saw off Qin Long, feeling anxious because Yang Shiyue hadn't returned yet.

He controlled the Bone Dragon to fly around. This long and large Bone Dragon still looked quite domineering.

Qin Yun waited in the ruins not far from the city gate for three days. Finally, he saw Yang Shiyue return.

Yang Shiyue, dressed in black and wearing a mask, somehow easily passed through the protective array and entered.

After entering the city, seeing Qin Yun's worried face, Yang Shiyue smiled, feeling warm inside.

"Xiao Yun, the Nine Sun Sect and the sects from Linghuang have sent many disciples at the third layer of the Martial Path into the ancient garden. They should all be carrying powerful puppets..."

Before she could finish, she saw a Bone Dragon flying from afar!

"I also have a powerful puppet!" Qin Yun laughed. "Let's go, we'll activate the teleportation array now and enter the ancient garden!"
