Chapter 0049: Junior Rune Master

Duan Qian took out rune paper and a carving knife from his storage spirit artifact and handed them to Qin Yun, smiling, "Young man, if you can really create runes, then you're a junior rune master. Only when you can produce low-grade spirit runes, low-grade spirit artifacts, and set up spirit arrays will you become a junior Runes Master."

Yang Shiyue was now much more at ease because Duan Qian was very interested in Qin Yun and had no ill intentions.

If the Runes Hall could attract outstanding talent, it would strengthen its own power.

The Runes Hall spans the three major empires and several countries, and is not constrained by imperial authority, making it a very mysterious entity.

Not many people truly understand Duan Qian, but they know he is not simple, being the chief steward of the Tian Qin Runes Hall. His strength is evident from the respectful attitude of Master Wei towards him.

"You may begin now! With us old guys here, don't even think about playing any tricks," Duan Qian stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

Qin Yun calmed down, although he still had some internal injuries, they did not affect his rune-making.

With the cultivation of the Bone Sutra, he could now more smoothly and quickly gather blood-soul force.

Gripping the carving knife, he found it to be much better than his own; this was a spirit artifact-level carving knife.

After gathering his blood-soul force, he could inject it into the carving knife with great ease.

At that moment, a strange sensation arose, as if the carving knife were part of his body, connected by flesh and blood.

He marveled inwardly, "It must be due to the carving knife. It seems a good carving knife can make rune engraving twice as effective!"

Suddenly, a faint red light appeared at the tip of the carving knife, causing the veteran students to exclaim in surprise!

Anyone with a basic understanding of runes knew this was blood-soul force!

Being able to condense blood-soul force meant one had half-stepped into the path of runes!

Wei Xuankun looked incredulous, for he himself could not achieve such a level; he could only gather loose blood-soul force at the tip of his brush to draw runes!

Qin Yun began carving, and the handle of the knife released a light curtain, enveloping his hands and the rune paper on the table.

When drawing hidden runes, they needed to be covered to prevent others from stealing the precious spirit patterns.

His movements were very skilled, showing a certain level of mastery, indicating frequent practice!

Wei Xuankun felt a pang of discomfort, and Master Wei's forehead was already sweating!

Previously, Wei Xuankun had said that he focused all his energy on learning the art of runes and was not adept at combat, which was why he lost to Qin Yun in the martial arts competition.

Now, in terms of runes, he was far inferior to Qin Yun, completely defeated.

A moment later, Qin Yun retracted the light curtain.

Although the rune paper appeared blank, it was covered with a faint layer of blood-soul force, the hidden runes completed.

Next, he began drawing the visible runes!

He drew a fire rune, the one he was most proficient in.

The carving knife moved like a dragon across the rune paper, drawing intricate flame patterns. The tip flowed naturally, like clouds and water.

Seeing this skill, both Duan Qian and Master Wei widened their eyes in amazement.

After completing the visible runes, the rune paper slightly trembled, emitting a faint heat.

The crimson patterns shimmered brightly, the mystical flame patterns seemed to pulsate, giving off a sense of heat!

"This is a fire rune; I've finished it!" Qin Yun handed the fire rune to the stunned Duan Qian.

Duan Qian stared at Qin Yun for a while before regaining his composure.

"This fire rune is powerful... the strongest low-grade fire spirit rune I've ever seen!" Duan Qian exclaimed, "You are a qualified junior rune master. Your spirit patterns are strong. Who taught you?"

"My grandmaster!" Qin Yun sighed softly.

Qin Yun could indeed create runes!

The students were shocked, their voices buzzing, making the Martial Arts Field noisy!

A fifteen-year-old at the fifth level of the Martial Body realm, also a junior rune master!

Such talent might only rival that of Xiao Yuelan of the Tian Xiao Empire.

However, the Tian Xiao Empire had canceled the engagement between Xiao Yuelan and Qin Yun, opting instead to betroth her to the new crown prince of Tian Qin, with a grand engagement ceremony planned!

The Duke Yan and other ministers looked ashen-faced, knowing what this meant!

Qin Yun's ability to create runes would surely earn him attention, and the Runes Hall would definitely support him secretly.

"Master Wei, do you stand by your words?" Yang Shiyue asked coldly.

Master Wei had promised to give his carving knife to Qin Yun.

"Of course, such an outstanding young talent will surely carry forward my carving knife! Qin Yun, take good care of this knife!"

Master Wei laughed heartily, seemingly sincere in giving the knife to Qin Yun, but inwardly cursing him with every foul word.

Wei Xuankun gritted his teeth, almost grinding them to dust, seeing something he dreamed of obtaining fall into Qin Yun's hands!

After receiving the carving knife, Qin Yun tried it and found it difficult to inject his blood-soul force, so he asked urgently, "Is there a special way to use it? Why can't I use it?"

"Let me see!" Master Wei hastily took it and revealed a slight anger, "Qin Yun, what's wrong with you? You just got it and already damaged it. What are your intentions? This carving knife has been with me for years, and you... you deliberately destroyed it!"

Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue exchanged a glance, admiring the cunning of the old fox!

The carving knife was clearly damaged by Master Wei when he handed it over.

This is because Qin Yun had previously destroyed the Kunlan Sword, so everyone would definitely believe this, and there were already many voices of accusation below.

Moreover, after Master Wei damaged the carving knife, Qin Yun could not use this precious tool. He did not want to see Qin Yun make rapid progress in the art of Runes because of this knife.

"Let me take a look!" Duan Qian said with a smile, reaching out his hand.

Master Wei cursed Duan Qian inwardly. It was because of Duan Qian's sudden intervention that his plan was ruined. Otherwise, with a little trick, Qin Yun would not have been able to successfully create a talisman.

He could only smile and hand over the damaged carving knife to Duan Qian.

"It was indeed just damaged, but it wasn't intentionally done by Qin Yun. He didn't infuse it with his own Blood Soul Force while using it, which led to its damage." Duan Qian smiled at Qin Yun and said, "Qin Yun, how about this: I'll give you another carving knife, and I'll repair this broken one. What do you think?"

Qin Yun did not expect that Duan Qian had once again thwarted Master Wei's plans and helped him again.

He quickly replied, "Thank you, Chief Steward!"

Duan Qian took out a carving knife and handed it to Qin Yun, smiling, "This is a Low-grade Spirit Tool, and it's brand new!"

"Thank you, Chief Steward!" Qin Yun gratefully accepted it.

A Low-grade Spirit Tool level carving knife fully meets his current needs.
