Chapter 0048: Rune Crafting

The Chancellor nodded and said, "This is indeed the regulation of Hualing Martial Arts Academy. Once violated, both teacher and student will be expelled from the academy."

Yang Shiyue was a principled person, and Master Wei saw this, which is why he dared to bring up this matter.

Several teachers familiar with the ministers also stood up one after another, insisting that Yang Shiyue had provided Qin Yun with abundant resources.

Many students also believed this.

Especially the new students, who voiced their dissatisfaction. Since any competition resulted in Qin Yun taking the resources, expelling him from Hualing Martial Arts Academy would greatly benefit them.

Even the fifth-level martial body seniors felt threatened by Qin Yun. For example, during the last Tian Shi Martial Association event, they were ridiculed.

Duke Yan and his associates were secretly pleased to see Master Wei seize on this issue. If Yang Shiyue and Qin Yun were expelled from Hualing Martial Arts Academy, it would be satisfying.

Yang Shiyue coldly said, "I have never provided Qin Yun with cultivation resources. My class consists only of him, so most of my time is spent guiding him in martial techniques and imparting various martial arts knowledge. That's all!"

"Even if we believe you, others might not," Master Wei shook his head and sighed. "Without solid proof, how can you expect everyone to believe your word?"

Yang Shiyue's face suddenly turned cold, unsure how to prove her claim. She couldn't understand why Qin Yun, with only one spirit vein, progressed so quickly?

She had just learned that Qin Yun had a martial soul within him, but she couldn't reveal this.

Just as Yang Shiyue was at a loss, Qin Yun calmly said, "I can craft runes. All my cultivation resources come from secretly selling spirit runes."

"How could that be possible?" Master Wei laughed. "Kun'er has been learning spirit runes since childhood and only started crafting runes this year. You suddenly know how to craft runes? This is sheer nonsense!"

Everyone was stunned by Qin Yun's words, but after hearing Master Wei's response, they found it amusing.

Wei Xuankun laughed loudly, "My talent for runes isn't bad, yet it took me such a long time to learn. And you? Who taught you rune crafting? Teacher Yang certainly didn't!"

"Let me craft a rune right here for you! Master Wei is a runes master, and there are masters from Runes Hall present. They can surely verify it." Qin Yun remained composed and smiled faintly. "My rune skills were taught by the Grand Tutor. I've been learning from her since childhood; no one knew about it! If not for those beasts plotting against her, I might already be able to refine spirit artifacts."

There was an uproar. It was that female demon Grand Tutor who taught him!

In fact, many people understood the Grand Tutor's cultivation of demonic arts.

After the incident years ago, the ones who benefited the most were the Empress and her faction.

Qin Yun's claim that his runes were taught by the Grand Tutor wasn't false, as runes came from the Nine Yang Divine Essence.

No one knew the Grand Tutor understood runes; they only knew her medical skills were exceptional.

Yanying's strange illness was cured by her, and she even published several prescriptions, curing many difficult ailments.

"I don't believe it!" Wei Xuankun shouted loudly. "Use my rune paper and drawing brush. If you can really craft a rune, then I'll..."

"You don't need to make any promises. Last time, you tried to reclaim the Kunlan Sword afterward... And now, Yan Yun has fainted again." Qin Yun chuckled, his voice full of mockery. "Even if she hadn't fainted, she couldn't ask for anything back from me."

"You..." Wei Xuankun was so angry he didn't know what to say.

Despite Qin Yun's confident demeanor, many still didn't believe him.

After all, mastering runes wasn't easy.

Master Wei walked onto the stage, holding a delicate golden engraving knife, and said, "If you can successfully craft a rune, I'll give you this engraving knife. It's a middle-grade spirit artifact!"

This engraving knife was far superior to the one Qin Yun currently used, making him secretly covet it.

"If you fail, it will prove that Teacher Yang has been secretly helping you. Since you broke the rules of Hualing Martial Arts Academy, you should leave the academy." Master Wei sighed. "Also, Duke Yan doesn't need to pay you the hundred thousand crystals."

"Fine!" Qin Yun agreed readily.

Wei Xuankun was a bit anxious but calmed down seeing his father's calm demeanor.

"Use my rune paper and brush." Master Wei took out a stack of rune paper and a very old-looking drawing brush.

Qin Yun said, "I'll only use the engraving knife to craft the rune. Please give me the engraving knife!"

Using an engraving knife to craft runes required a certain level of skill, and this request made Wei Xuankun sneer.

But Master Wei still handed over an old engraving knife.

Yang Shiyue sensed something fishy and was about to speak when she saw someone walk onto the stage.

It was an elderly man in white robes, with white hair and beard reaching his chest, and a kind demeanor.

He smiled and said, "I am Duan Qian, the Chief Steward of Runes Hall. The Runes Hall in this region of the Tian Qin Empire falls under my jurisdiction. I'll oversee this verification!"

"Of course, Chief Steward, please!" Master Wei smiled humbly, showing great respect to the elder.
