Chapter 0889 Departure to the Mystic Realm

Chapter 0889 Setting Off for the Mystic Domain

Qin Yun rushed to the Protector Hall and entered the small courtyard where Long Qiaofeng was staying.

Both Long Qiaofeng and Xian Rujing were there.

As soon as Qin Yun entered, he glared at Xian Rujing.

"What are you staring at? Did you just realize how beautiful I am today?" Xian Rujing sneered coldly, tossing her hair.

"Qin Yun, is something wrong?" Long Qiaofeng noticed the odd look in Qin Yun's eyes and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"I have something to discuss with her!" Qin Yun suppressed his anger and pointed at Xian Rujing.

Long Qiaofeng gestured toward a room. "You can talk in there."

Xian Rujing didn't show a hint of fear. She snorted at him and walked into the room.

Qin Yun quickly followed and slammed the door shut with a loud "bang," making Long Qiaofeng even more worried. She knew there had been conflicts between Qin Yun and Xian Rujing before.

Xian Rujing sat on a chair inside the room and looked at Qin Yun. "What's this about? You look like you're here to pick a fight!"

"Sister Bingxing said you won't let me enter the Immortal Soldier Soul Tower, is that true?" Qin Yun snapped. "The Immortal Soldier Palace has so much Immortal Essence because of my contribution! Why won't you let me in?"

Xian Rujing curled her lips. "Oh, is *that* what’s got you worked up? I’m barring you from entering because I don't want you improving too fast. Got a problem with that?"

Qin Yun angrily retorted, "Why shouldn't I improve quickly?"

"Fine, I won't tease you anymore. The truth is, I won't let you in to prevent your Sacred Yang Spiritual Vein from being exposed! The Immortal Soldier Soul Tower has devices that can detect whether someone possesses a Sacred Yang Spiritual Vein!" Xian Rujing shot him a disdainful look. "This is for your protection!"

"I don't believe you!" Qin Yun shouted. "Why would the Immortal Soldier Soul Tower detect Sacred Yang Spiritual Veins? Are you just trying to get back at me?"

"Believe it or not! The Immortal Soldier Soul Tower was originally designed to select talents, so of course it has ways to detect Sacred Yang Spiritual Veins!" Xian Rujing retorted.

Qin Yun muttered a curse, "Damn Sacred Yang Spiritual Vein!"

Xian Rujing said, "Qin Yun, if the tower detects your Sacred Yang Spiritual Vein, you could be in serious trouble! You might even get trapped inside until someone from the Celestial Realm comes down to take you away!"

Qin Yun suddenly recalled the Celestial Emperor—Xie Qirou's father—who was from the Xian Family. That man had never been able to cultivate a Sacred Meridian, so what Xian Rujing said might very well be true.

"Xian Rujing, tell me this—if I join with you, will I be able to cultivate the Sacred Yang Nine Immortal Meridians?" Qin Yun asked.

"Yes!" Xian Rujing replied, a strange flutter in her chest as she brought up the topic.

This would also allow her to cultivate the Sacred Yang Nine Immortal Meridians, meaning she could eventually develop the Nine Yang Sacred Meridians—a prize beyond measure.

"If I cultivate the Sacred Yang Nine Immortal Meridians, can other women also cultivate them through my body?" Qin Yun demanded.

"You—how did you know that?" Xian Rujing suddenly jumped up. "Who did you tell about this? Did you tell Sister Bingxing?"

Qin Yun didn't answer, only blinking at her.

"You bastard! I told you not to blab about this! Why did you tell Sister Bingxing?" Xian Rujing screeched, launching herself at him.

Qin Yun was startled and quickly dodged.

But Xian Rujing was too fast. She slammed him onto the floor, straddling him, and sank her teeth into his chest like a feral beast.

"Ice Tigress, let go!" Qin Yun yelled, thrashing wildly, before seizing Xian Rujing's thigh in a vice grip.

Xian Rujing's thigh was pinched painfully, so she bit Qin Yun harder.

At that moment, Long Qiaofeng suddenly opened the door and saw Xian Rujing biting Qin Yun while his hand was clutching her thigh.

She had only opened the door after hearing commotion inside, never expecting to see this!

"Cool it! Whatever it is, you can discuss it calmly!" Long Qiaofeng hurried over, pulling Xian Rujing away while prying Qin Yun's fingers off.

Finally, Xian Rujing and Qin Yun were separated.

Qin Yun rubbed his sore chest where he had been bitten, and Long Qiaofeng also massaged her painfully pinched thigh.

"Ice Tigress!" Qin Yun muttered.

"Loudmouth!" Xian Rujing snapped angrily.

"Qiao Feng, you go out first!" Qin Yun said.

Long Qiaofeng just sighed. "Don’t go at each other again. Talk things out properly!"

After this warning, she reluctantly left the room and closed the door.

Qin Yun snapped, "Xian Rujing, what's it to you if I told Sister Bingxing about my Sacred Yang Spiritual Vein? Why did you bite me?"

"Because you also mentioned that I have a dual Immortal Meridian... Do you know how much that will make her overthink?!" Xian Rujing yelled furiously, looking like she was about to bite him again.

"So what if Sister Bingxing reads too much into it? It's not the end of the world!" Qin Yun rolled his eyes at her.

"That’ll make her think I want to jump your bones!" Xian Rujing snorted. "Now she’ll definitely believe that!"

"If I don’t care, why are you so touchy?" Qin Yun couldn’t understand why Xian Rujing was being so sensitive.

"Screw this, I don’t want to talk to you anymore!" Xian Rujing clenched her teeth in frustration.

Qin Yun waved a hand. "Fine, I won’t enter that Immortal Soldier Soul Tower anyway. I'm leaving soon—I plan to travel around!"

He intended to hunt for the Dark Sun soul.

"Hmph! When are you leaving? Not gonna wait for me?" Xian Rujing scoffed lightly.

"Why would I wait for you? I've got my own plans!" Qin Yun stood up. "I’ll hit the road after making some gear."

"Who else did you tell about the Sacred Yang Spiritual Vein?" Xian Rujing glared at him.

"My wife, Xiao Yuelan," Qin Yun said with a smirk.

"You—" Xian Rujing hadn’t expected him to go blabbing about this to so many people.

"It was her who told me that other women could cultivate the Nine Yang Sacred Meridians through me!" Qin Yun said with a shrug. "Sister Bingxing didn’t say anything!"

"What kind of person is your wife? How could she possibly know such a thing?" Xian Rujing asked in surprise.

Qin Yun shrugged. "Beats me. That’s just what she said."

Xian Rujing thought for a moment before whispering, "So what did she mean? Did she warn you to be wary of me, afraid I’d... take advantage of you?"

"She said she also wants to cultivate the Nine Yang Sacred Meridians, so she told me to handle it," Qin Yun chuckled.

Xian Rujing went still for a moment before muttering, "Your damn wife is really something else!"

She looked at Qin Yun with a strange expression and asked, "Since your wife wants to cultivate the Nine Yang Sacred Meridians, what do you plan to do?"

Qin Yun said, "I don’t know! Anyway, I won’t let you, this Ice Tigress, take advantage of me. I’ll find another way to achieve my goal!"

"Me? Take advantage of you? You bastard, do you know how many people in the Immortal Ruins would... would want me?" Xian Rujing shouted angrily.

"Forget it, I’m getting ready to leave. While you’re in the Divine Armory Palace, try to chat more with Elder Bingxing about the Immortal Ruins—she’s quite interested!" Qin Yun brushed off his robes and said, "I don’t know how long I’ll be gone this time."

"If the Jian Family attacks the Mystic Realm, won’t you come back?" Xian Rujing asked.

"I don’t know!" Qin Yun shook his head. He had no idea how long it’d take to find the Dark Sun’s soul.

"Do as you please—just stay alive!" Xian Rujing snorted and walked out of the room.

Qin Yun followed her out.

Seeing that both of them were calm, Long Qiaofeng finally relaxed.

After leaving Long Qiaofeng’s residence, Qin Yun went to find Jian Linglong.

In the following days, Qin Yun and Jian Linglong studied the 'Imperial Sigil Codex' given by Long Cangsheng together.

Then, they collaborated to craft a few Imperial Sigils.

Liu Jingmeng and Lan Fengjin also joined in. By collaborating on artifact refinement and crafting talismans, they made significant progress.

Xiao Yuemei had always wanted a Lion Monarch Cannon, so Qin Yun forged one for her.

When she got it, she was thrilled and almost let it loose right then.

Inside the first bead of the Nine Solar Divine Soul, Xiao Yuemei successfully connected the Imperial Mother Stones with the Immortal Essence, allowing her to draw power from the Immortal Essence and forge Imperial Source Stones.

She asked Qin Yun for twenty Imperial Mother Stones before leaving the Immortal Soldier City, announcing she’d return to the Lunar Demon Isle to visit her sisters.

Qin Yun had over a hundred Imperial Mother Stones, so even after giving Xiao Yuemei twenty, he still had more than enough to spare for himself.

Since both Lan Fengjin and Jian Linglong had obtained Arcane Sigil Souls, the overall Arcane Sigil proficiency of Qin Yun’s small Arcane Sigil Sect was exceptionally high.

Jian Linglong, in particular, excelled in the application of Lunar Sigils.

During this time, Qin Yun, Jian Linglong, Liu Jingmeng, and Lan Fengjin worked together to refine many talismans.

Imperial Talismans were harder to craft, and Qin Yun only had ten in his possession.

They also refined some Dao-tier talismanic relics!

After making all the preparations, Qin Yun went to take his leave of Bao Changshou, then said goodbye to Bingxing, taking Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi with him.

Finally, he went to see Xian Rujing and Long Qiaofeng.

Before leaving, Xian Rujing bit him again, saying she wanted him to remember—he must not die!

Qin Yun silently cursed Xian Rujing, then left the Immortal Soldier City, following the direction Xie Qirou had indicated to search for the Dark Sun’s soul.

Xie Qirou only sensed that the Dark Sun’s soul was somewhere in the Spirit Wilds but didn’t know the exact location.

"Once the Imperial Mother Stones produce Imperial Source Stones, I should be able to reach the Pinnacle of the Martial Monarch realm!" Qin Yun glanced at the Imperial Mother Stones and soared cheerfully through the air.

Before he knew it, Qin Yun had been flying for over a month, and now he had no clue where he’d ended up.

The area he was in had no flowers, grass, or trees—only many weathered rocks. The barren land held increasingly sparse Nine Suns' spiritual energy.

"This place seems familiar!" Qin Yun quickly stopped and took out a large map—the map used to enter the Spirit Desolate Profound Domain.

To enter the Profound Domain, one had to pass through an extremely ancient and desolate region. Only one route was safe to traverse, while other areas concealed many dangers.

The place Qin Yun was currently in happened to be the dangerous zone marked on the map.

"Could the Dark Sun Soul be inside the Profound Domain?" Qin Yun thought with surprise as he put away the map and cautiously observed his surroundings.

This desolate expanse—silent and drained of spiritual energy—didn’t seem like a place of danger.
