Chapter 0052: The Chief Steward's High Regard

Xiao Lang and Meng Feiling had quite a conflict; otherwise, Xiao Lang wouldn't have targeted Meng Feiling at the first opportunity.

Seeing it was Qin Yun, Duan Qian couldn't help but smile and said, "Qin Yun isn't just anyone; he is our Runes Hall's youngest junior runes master."

He then addressed Qin Yun, "Your injuries healed so quickly? I thought you'd take a few more days to come!"

Duan Qian's words caused Xiao Lang and the group of young students at the Sixth Level of Martial Body to look at Qin Yun in utter shock!

They hadn't met Qin Yun, but his name was well-known!

He was the one who defeated Yan Qingyu yesterday!

Yan Qingyu was originally from their Three Martial Academy, but because he was favored by a teacher from Heavenly Profound Martial Academy, he was recruited early.

When they learned that Yan Qingyu was severely injured by someone named Qin Yun, they were all stunned!

Meng Feiling's mouth slightly opened in surprise as she stared at Qin Yun with wide eyes. She had wanted to ask Qin Yun's name earlier but was interrupted by Xiao Lang and forgot about it...

She didn't expect this young junior to be such a prominent figure.

She glanced at Xiao Lang and the others, then lightly hummed, "Judging people by their appearance!"

Duan Qian took out a badge, walked up to Qin Yun with a smile, and handed it over, saying, "This is the badge for a junior runes master. With this badge, you can stay at Runes Hall anytime and also commission the sale of spirit runes, or inquire about the latest news you need."

To be so highly regarded by the chief steward of Runes Hall made these young, noble-born students, who had already reached the Sixth Level of Martial Body, extremely envious!

Especially Xiao Lang, who used to be the center of attention here, now seemed far less impressive compared to Qin Yun!

"He crippled Yan Qingyu; Heavenly Profound Martial Academy won't let this go," Xiao Lang muttered. "At least Heavenly Profound Martial Academy won't want him anymore!"

"Don't worry. Qin Yun defeating Yan Qingyu means he's stronger than Yan Qingyu. Heavenly Profound Martial Academy might not want him, but Ling Xuan and Star Profound Martial Academy might fight over him," Duan Qian chuckled. "If he had more spirit veins, he would have been snatched up by Xuan-level Martial Academy long ago."

Meng Feiling looked proud and smugly glanced at Xiao Lang and the others before coquettishly said to Qin Yun, "My little brother is truly amazing. Could you give me one of your crafted runes as a keepsake?"

Her mischievous hand caressed Qin Yun's handsome face.

"Of course, here are two fire runes I crafted," Qin Yun handed two runes to Meng Feiling, feeling quite comfortable with her soft touch.

"The spirit patterns on your fire runes are top-grade spirit patterns. Even in our Runes Hall, there aren't many of these!" Duan Qian exclaimed in awe.

This made several middle-aged men in Runes Hall visibly moved, and the faces of the young Sixth Level Martial Body students changed slightly!

Top-grade spirit patterns were priceless treasures!

When inscribed on spirit artifacts, their power far exceeded those of middle-grade and low-grade spirit patterns.

"Chief Steward, how do I refine spirit artifacts? I don't know anything about it!" Qin Yun asked. With Duan Qian's expertise, he could avoid many detours.

Duan Qian spoke earnestly, "The process of refining spirit artifacts is very complex and cannot be mastered overnight. You must not rush it and need to build a solid foundation, or it will harm you greatly! Come to Runes Hall whenever you have time, and I'll personally guide you."

"I need to arrange for them to participate in Heroes Meeting."

Receiving guidance from the chief steward was akin to being tutored by a renowned master!

Master Wei was famous, but everyone knew that Duan Qian's skill surpassed Master Wei's.

Many wealthy and powerful individuals wanted their descendants to learn runes from him, but he refused all offers, no matter the benefits.

Now, he showed such high regard for Qin Yun, leaving the noble-born youths present at a loss!

If they encountered a promising talent like Qin Yun, befriending him immediately would be best.

However, Qin Yun's situation was too special, having offended the Empress and many officials of Tian Qin.

Befriending Qin Yun would offend most of Tian Qin's powers, so they dared not act rashly, fearing family retribution.

Their only option was to avoid making enemies with Qin Yun!

Meng Feiling, however, had no such concerns and was quite close to Qin Yun.

"I'm going to participate in Heroes Meeting. Wait for my good news!" Meng Feiling said and left with Duan Qian.

After they left, Runes Hall became very quiet, mainly due to the scarcity of runes masters.

Qin Yun requested a suite on the floor above the main hall.

The suite had several rooms, a quiet private chamber, a large hall, and a bathroom, all fully equipped.

In the private chamber, he began crafting runes.

"Ordinary low-grade fire runes sell for two hundred crystals; better ones fetch three hundred, while my fire runes should sell for at least four hundred, right?"

Thinking about earning a significant amount of crystals through selling fire runes, Qin Yun eagerly picked up a rune paper and started engraving spirit patterns.

With his low-grade spirit artifact carving knife, he worked more efficiently, crafting five runes within an hour.

Crafting runes consumed both internal energy and mental strength, requiring brief rest after each one.

Qin Yun crafted runes for four hours straight, feeling somewhat tired but smiling happily upon seeing the twenty fire runes.

"If everything goes smoothly, I can earn eight thousand crystals!" Qin Yun felt secretly delighted. Hunting beasts to earn crystals would take much longer and involve risks.

"It's about time for a break."

He lay on a comfortable chair and took out the bamboo scroll titled "Thirty-six Spirit Patterns" to read.

There were many types of spirit patterns, and the materials needed for crafting involved alchemical patterns.

The alchemy runes carved on the forging hammer can improve the quality of the materials when they are hammered, and alchemy runes can also be carved inside the furnace to make the smelting process faster and better.

In his scroll, there are alchemy runes, and they are of high quality!

The most commonly used runes carved on spirit tools are solidification runes, which make the spirit tools more durable.

Then there are attribute spirit runes, such as lightning, fire, ice, darkness, and spatial runes. He has all of these.

Beast runes are also very useful, for example, carving the flight pattern of a flying beast into a spirit tool allows it to fly... These are all quite profound.

In addition, there are illusion runes, poison runes, soul runes, and light runes, which are relatively rare.

"The furnace and forging hammer can be bought from the Runes Hall first. Once my skills improve, I can refine them myself. I need to learn how to refine spirit tools quickly so that selling them will be more profitable!"

Qin Yun picked up a booklet in the room, which listed items sold by the Runes Hall.

"A low-grade spirit furnace costs six hundred thousand crystals, and the cheapest forging hammer is four hundred thousand! In total, I need one million crystals. Where am I going to find that much money?"

To become a Runes Master, one needs a substantial financial foundation.

Even if one can afford these items, they still need to purchase spirit runes, and most importantly, they need talent. Without talent, wealth is useless.

"I'll use a semi-spirit tool for now!" Qin Yun is currently poor, so this is his only option for now.

He left the Runes Hall and went to the street, where he spent twenty thousand crystals to buy a furnace and a hammer.
