Chapter 0223: The History of Star Xuan

The elderly mentor hesitated, as it was simply too expensive, equivalent to 100 million crystal coins!

Qin Yun took out a luxurious golden storage bag. Compared to those with rough exteriors, his was exceptionally good, even describable as luxurious.

"Can it be any cheaper? How much space is inside?" The elderly mentor became even more interested after seeing the storage bag.

The other students were all envious, but they could only watch. Such high-quality items were indeed rare, and even with enough crystal coins, one would still need a Runes Master to help craft them.

Many Runes Masters, in order to speed up the process of crafting storage bags, resorted to rough methods, which resulted in exquisite storage spirit artifacts being quite rare.

Moreover, there weren’t many Runes Masters who mastered spatial runes. Generally, these Runes Masters wouldn’t refine artifacts themselves but only specialized in rune carving.

"The space inside can hold about 50 to 60 cows!" Qin Yun said with a sly smile. "Since you're an elder, how about eight ninth-grade magic crystal cores?"

A storage bag with so much space inside indicated that the materials used were of high quality and the runes were of a high grade.

For those students, having a storage spirit artifact with space for 10 cows was already good enough, mainly used for storing precious items.

"Deal!" The elderly mentor decisively accepted the price and handed over eight magic crystal cores to Qin Yun.

After the elderly mentor left, four more mentors came over, both middle-aged and elderly, exchanging eight ninth-grade magic crystal cores for a storage bag with Qin Yun.

In this way, Qin Yun obtained 40 ninth-grade magic crystal cores, worth 200 million Xuan points!

Xiao Yanglong was fuming with envy. Qin Yun easily obtained 200 million Xuan points, while it would take them a long time to gather that much.

"I'm currently out of storage bags... If any of you can find a Runes Master to craft a storage spirit artifact, I can spare some time to help carve the spatial runes for you. Every mentor will get a chance." Seeing more mentors approaching, Qin Yun quickly said.

The most crucial part of a storage spirit artifact was the runes. Many Runes Masters didn’t have them and could only take the semi-finished products to others for rune carving.

Hearing this, the mentors were delighted and hurriedly handed their identification cards to Qin Yun, which contained their profiles.

Qin Yun was secretly thrilled and, with a sigh of frustration, said to the mentors, "More than 20 mentors want to kick me out of the Heavenly Prodigy Academy. I wonder if you all could help me stay, so I can assist you with carving the spatial runes."

"That's easy to handle!" An elderly mentor quickly stood behind Qin Yun.

The other mentors also stood behind Qin Yun, indicating their agreement to let him stay.

Xiao Yanglong and the 22 mentors behind him were completely dumbfounded.

Those 22 mentors all felt a sense of loss and deeply regretted offending Qin Yun, a Runes Master.

Headmaster Bai smiled and said, "The decision is clear. Qin Yun can stay."

Sun Jinhao, seeing Qin Yun being so cool and confident, was furious. He pointed at Qin Yun and shouted, "Headmaster, you saw it just now. He bribed these people to speak for him. It doesn't count."

"Shut up!" Qin Yun shouted angrily and suddenly slapped him. He slammed Sun Jinhao so hard that he was sent flying and landed at Xiao Yanglong's feet.

Sun Jinhao's face was deformed from the hit and, after rolling on the ground in pain for a few moments, passed out.

"Well done!" An elderly mentor shouted loudly.

Others followed and shouted, "Well done, well done."

Xiao Yanglong, looking at Sun Jinhao lying unconscious on the ground, was furious. He didn’t expect Qin Yun to suddenly strike.

He shouted angrily at Qin Yun, "Qin Yun, you've gone too far!"

While speaking, he unleashed a powerful burst of inner energy that flew fiercely toward Qin Yun!

The elder who had just purchased a storage bag hurriedly stepped forward and deflected the inner energy with a palm strike. He was furious and shouted, "Xiao Yanglong, you are a Martial Warrior, yet you have no decency at all. How dare you, a senior at the eighth level of the Martial Body stage, attack a junior at the seventh level? A person like you, who bullies the weak, has shamed our Blue Spirit Star Palace."

Qin Yun now understood that this old mentor was also from the Eastern Palace of the Blue Spirit Star Palace. The old mentor didn't wear the blue robe, so it wasn't easy to tell.

"Your Eastern Palace has declined so much, yet you still dare to meddle in other affairs? You, an old fool, are not fit to lecture me," Xiao Yanglong, who was from the Western Palace and had always looked down on the Eastern Palace, cursed without restraint, filled with anger.

The old mentor was furious at being insulted.

Seeing this, Qin Yun shouted angrily, "Xiao Yanglong, bullying someone of my junior level is bad enough, but to be so disrespectful to a venerable senior is unforgivable. A person like you, who has no respect for elders, is unfit to be a mentor!"

He looked at Headmaster Bai and said, "Headmaster, I request that Xiao Yanglong be expelled from the Heavenly Prodigy Academy!"

Murong Daren also shouted, "Raise your hand if you support expelling Xiao Yanglong from the Heavenly Prodigy Academy. This kind of person is too dangerous to remain in the Heavenly Prodigy Academy."

Many people raised their hands, while the more than twenty mentors on Xiao Yanglong's side remained silent.

"Xiao Yanglong, get out of here!" Murong Daren shouted, and many others joined in.

The elder mentors were not foolish. Qin Yun was a Runes Master who could carve precious runes. It was in their best interest to maintain a good relationship with him, as it would make obtaining runes much more convenient in the future.

Xiao Yanglong, who had even poisoned his own father, was not someone liked by anyone. Following him brought no benefits and might even result in being exploited.

Headmaster Bai said, "Xiao Yanglong, as you can see, they do not welcome you! If you know what's good for you, leave now. More than half of the mentors want you to leave, as you agreed earlier."

Xiao Yanglong, furious with red eyes and fists clenched tightly, filled with terrifying inner energy, caused several elder mentors to quickly pull Qin Yun into the crowd.

Lan Fengjin, who had been watching from the side, came to Qin Yun's side, worried that Xiao Yanglong might do something extreme.

"Qin Yun, just you wait!" Xiao Yanglong's angry roar echoed through the western side of the Star Profound Martial Academy.

After issuing his threat, Xiao Yanglong left the Heavenly Prodigy Academy, filled with anger.

The several students at the eighth level of the Martial Body stage carried Sun Jinhao and followed Xiao Yanglong, not daring to stay behind. They had previously told Qin Yun to leave, and staying might result in their own downfall.

The more than twenty mentors aligned with Xiao Yanglong could only stay behind, shamelessly holding on. After all, they had spent many crystal coins to recruit students, and if they didn't get something back from the Heavenly Prodigy Academy, they would incur a loss.

"Everyone, please prepare to head to the Blue Spirit Star Palace in the Tian Qin Empire in three days. While the Blue Spirit Star Palace can handle the Demon Beasts on its own, our trip there is for training."

Lan Fengjin looked at Qin Yun and the others and said, "This training will primarily test the trust and cooperation between you. Qin Yun, as the captain, you must take on the responsibility of leading the team."

Qin Yun nodded and said, "I will definitely be a good captain."

The gathering would take place here on the morning of the third day.

The rear courtyard of the Heavenly Prodigy Academy was lined with numerous detached buildings, where mentors and students lived together, fostering closer relationships. The entire Heavenly Prodigy Academy was surrounded by high walls, forming a square over two thousand meters wide. In the center was a large Martial Arts Field, surrounded by many detached buildings, trees, and flowers. There were also many rock formations, waterfalls, small rivers, ponds, and pavilions, creating a serene and pleasant environment.

Many students remarked that this place was much better than where they had been living.

The detached building where Qin Yun and the others lived was located on the eastern side of the rear courtyard of the Heavenly Prodigy Academy, next to a small river, surrounded by flowers. Not far from the riverbank, there was a pavilion.

Standing below the building, Murong Daren sighed, "This place is much better than the Beast Martial Hall. Unfortunately, we won't be staying here long before we have to go out for our first trial."

Qin Yun smiled and said, "Is the Beast Martial Hall, which belongs to the Holy Palace, really that shabby?"

Lan Fengjin kicked open the door, revealing a spacious hall. She turned to Qin Yun and said, "The overall environment of the Star Profound Martial Academy is better than that of the Blue Spirit Star Palace. Do you know why? Because the Star Profound Martial Academy was established under the personal supervision of Blue Spirit Star Palace's founder, Blue Xiao."

"Mentor, is this true?" Huo Zhong asked in surprise. "The history of Star Profound Martial Academy is really that long?"

"Of course, it's true. Lan Xiao's ancestor is incredibly powerful. It's said he knows where the Immortal Bone Burial Ground is located. His power stems from an accidental visit to the Immortal Bone Burial Ground," Lan Fengjin said as she entered the hall and took out a wooden puppet to control and clean the area.

Lan Xiao Wu Wang being related to the Immortal Bone Burial Ground surprised Qin Yun. That meant Star Profound Martial Academy also had some connection to the Immortal Bone Burial Ground.

Xue Ziyeh, seeing the puppet, exclaimed in surprise, "This puppet is worth over 300 million crystal coins. The Blue Spirit Star Palace has crafted many of them and sells them exclusively to the nobility of various empires for them to show off..."

Murong Daren laughed and said, "This wooden puppet can't compare to Qin Yun's Silver Lion!"

Everyone knew that Qin Yun had refined his own puppet beast, so they all looked at him, hoping he would take it out for everyone to admire.

Lan Fengjin patted Qin Yun on the shoulder and said, "Hey, show us your lion already!"

As a senior Runes Master, she was very interested in puppets.

"Unfortunately, it's in ruins!" Qin Yun shrugged and smiled wryly. "It broke inside the First Town due to my own carelessness. I'll craft another one when I get the chance!"

Murong Daren laughed and said, "Little Cloud, craft a puppet for me, preferably one with a nice build and... certain features. I'll start saving crystal coins and collecting magic crystal cores right away."

"What kind of features? Are they really that useful?" Xue Ziyeh, who usually seemed aloof, looked at him with curiosity in her beautiful eyes.

Murong Daren grinned and said, "They are quite useful, hahaha..."

Qin Yun gave him a hard kick in the rear, sending him face-first into the ground, and cursed with a laugh, "Murong Daren, that's enough!"

"Ziyeh, choose a room!" Lan Fengjin quickly diverted Xue Ziyeh and glared hard at Murong Daren.
