Chapter 0232: Inner Energy Spirit Pill

Qin Yun had long wanted to visit the main hall of the Runes Hall, and now that Pan Dawei had mentioned it, he planned to go take a look in the next few days.

"By the way, with three hundred million Xuan points, you're pretty well-off now. What do you plan to exchange them for?" Pan Dawei asked.

Qin Yun grinned mischievously, "Fatty, I’m thinking of getting some pills to boost my cultivation. Since you're familiar with the items in the Xuan Points Store, why don't you give me a suggestion?"

Pan Dawei thought for a moment and said, "The Inner Energy Spirit Pill. It's very useful for warriors who have just entered the eighth level of the Martial Body stage. You need three hundred million Xuan points to be eligible to exchange for it, and it also requires spending three hundred million Xuan points, plus an additional one hundred million crystal coins!"

Qin Yun was startled, exclaiming, "That expensive?!"

Pan Dawei laughed, "Of course, it's a royal-grade spirit pill. You didn’t expect anything less, right? Plus, its effects are very significant. For most people, after reaching the eighth level of the Martial Body stage, they need to perform over a hundred releases of their Inner Energy at its limit to barely cultivate the inner energy. To master the release of inner energy proficiently, it would take at least a year!"

"With the Inner Energy Spirit Pill, it would only take about ten days to get past this stage, and there won't be any negative side effects."

Qin Yun nodded. He had experienced the difficulty of this process before.

"Fatty, how are these pills refined? They seem much harder than the path of runes! And so expensive too!" He suddenly became very curious and asked.

Pan Dawei found it strange that Qin Yun wasn't very knowledgeable about pill refining.

Qin Yun was also secretly surprised. He only now realized that pill refining was closely related to the path of runes.

"You don't need to rush into pill refining. It requires a great deal of effort. What's most important for you now is to master the path of runes." Pan Dawei patted Qin Yun's shoulder and asked, "Do you want the Inner Energy Spirit Pill? If you do, I'll go get one for you right away. These pills are rare, and if someone else exchanges for it before you, you'll have to wait a long time."

"I want one!" Qin Yun nodded.

After paying three hundred million Xuan points and one hundred million crystal coins, he waited in the VIP room for Pan Dawei.

A short while later, Pan Dawei returned and handed Qin Yun a small white bottle, saying, "Qin Yun, you might want to try your luck at the Runes Hall. There might be something you need there."

Qin Yun had already decided to go to the Runes Hall. He nodded, bid farewell to Pan Dawei, and left the Xuan Points Store, returning to the Heavenly Prodigy Academy.

At the Heavenly Prodigy Academy, by a small river, there was a small building. Lan Fengjin came out of the building and walked to the riverbank. She looked at the nine scorching suns at noon and then sat on a bench, resting her chin on her hand as she stared off into the river.

As soon as Qin Yun returned, he saw her from a distance and walked over.

"Hey, Sister Lan, what’s on your mind?" Qin Yun also sat on the bench and asked with a grin, "Are you thinking about me?"

Lan Fengjin gave him a sideways glance and snorted lightly, "Hmph, like I’d waste time thinking about you! I'm thinking about the big waves at Wanxing Lake."

"What about Murong Second and the others?" Qin Yun looked at the small building and asked.

"They're busy cultivating. They're all practicing their martial skills hard in the training rooms, unlike you, who’s always so relaxed." Lan Fengjin sighed softly, though it was unclear what exactly she was sighing about.

Qin Yun said, "Sister Lan, I just got an Inner Energy Spirit Pill. After I consume and refine it, I'll head to the main hall of the Runes Hall. Do you know the way to the main hall?"

"You're going to the main hall of the Runes Hall? I'll go with you. The journey will be safer, and I'm familiar with the place!" Lan Fengjin's eyes lit up, seeming quite eager.

"Go and take the Inner Energy Spirit Pill quickly. I’ll sort things out for Murong and the others over the next few days." Lan Fengjin urged, gently pushing Qin Yun off the bench.

Qin Yun entered the room, consumed the Inner Energy Spirit Pill, and fully activated his three Inner Elements, releasing the Diamond Inner Energy to temper his Diamond Bone Marrow...

The purpose of the Inner Energy Spirit Pill was to continuously and rapidly replenish inner energy, keeping the three Inner Elements in a state of fullness. It also produced a miraculous medicinal power that eliminated the fatigue caused by the excessive stimulation of bones and flesh.

This way, he could continuously use the Diamond Inner Energy to strike his Diamond Bone Marrow without stopping. Without the assistance of such a pill, he would only be able to cultivate for half an hour before needing to rest for an entire day, which was very time-consuming.

With the help of the Inner Energy Spirit Pill, Qin Yun managed to cultivate his inner energy in just five days! From then on, he only needed to use the Diamond Inner Energy to strike his Diamond Bone Marrow, and a silvery-white mist would emerge within his bones. That was the inner energy qi!

The inner energy cannot be used for battle for now, because Qin Yun can only condense a tiny bit of it, and it will be completely absorbed by his inner element in no time. He needs to use all his inner energy to impact his Adamantine Bone Marrow in order to nurture the inner energy.

"Sigh, three hundred million Xuan points and one hundred million crystal coins only allow me to cultivate the inner energy for a short period!" Qin Yun sighed helplessly, but his bones and flesh had indeed been greatly strengthened.

At this point, he was equivalent to the middle stage of the eighth level of the Martial Body realm. What he needed to do next was to use the inner energy to nurture his inner element, allowing the inner element to condense into a pearl, which would become the Adamantine Inner Pearl.

After condensing the Adamantine Inner Pearl, he would reach the ninth level of the Martial Body realm!

Qin Yun was deeply troubled because he needed to condense three Adamantine Inner Pearls to reach his full potential, but this would require even more time and resources.

"I hope the trip to the Runes Hall will bring me some surprises." Qin Yun took a shower, changed into a light yellow outfit, and walked out of the room.

Lan Fengjin was in the hall, wearing a tight blue outfit that perfectly highlighted her stunning figure. She sat on a chair, crossed her legs, held a book in one hand, and ate a big red apple with the other.

"Sister Lan, where are Ziye and the others?" Qin Yun also picked up an apple from the table and asked while taking a bite.

"I've sent them to the dueling arena to spar! The dueling arena can earn Xuan points, which they need to exchange for pills that can quickly enhance their strength." Lan Fengjin put down her book and finished the apple in a few bites.

"Why didn't I think of earning Xuan points in the dueling arena before?" Qin Yun's bright eyes shone, as if he had seen a bright path.

"For others, maybe! But not for you! Everyone is afraid of you and won't challenge you or accept your challenges! To put it bluntly, earning Xuan points at the dueling arena involves betting on matches. With your strength, who would dare to compete with you?" Lan Fengjin patted his solid chest and said with a sneer.

Qin Yun could only sigh in frustration, then followed Lan Fengjin out of the Heavenly Prodigy Academy towards the Runes Hall.

As they flew over Wanxing Lake, Lan Fengjin became worried again, seeing the big waves still churning on the lake's surface.

After flying out of Wanxing Lake, Lan Fengjin and Qin Yun landed on the ground. Even for Martial Warriors, flying freely in such dangerous areas was risky. If they encountered those flying Demon Beasts that had previously attacked the Star Profound Martial Academy, it would be very dangerous.

"Sister Lan, I want to create a large formation. When you have time, can you help me? We can work on it together." Qin Yun asked as he ran behind Lan Fengjin.

Lan Fengjin was a senior Runes Master, and he thought it would be a waste not to utilize her skills.

Lan Fengjin laughed and scolded, "You kid, it seems like you're treating me as an assistant! Honestly, I asked for your help in refining that rune talisman earlier. Do you think less of me now?"

Qin Yun quickly said, "How could I? Sister Lan, you're not just beautiful, but endlessly captivating. How could I look down on you?"

"Cheeky!" Lan Fengjin said with a smile.

Qin Yun was telling the truth. He dared to say anything in front of Lan Fengjin because she was a very straightforward and bold woman.

The main hall of the Runes Hall, like First Town, was situated in a region outside the jurisdiction of any nation, near the Cloud Dragon River.

...

The Cloud Dragon River flowed out from the Cloud Dragon Mountains and passed through a region flanked by towering mountains on both sides. It was a deep and vast gorge.

The main hall of the Runes Hall was situated at the top of the tallest mountain peak next to the Cloud Dragon River. It was located outside the borders of the Tian Xiao Empire, near the Cloud Dragon Mountains. The mountain was called Runes Spirit Mountain.

Below an altitude of five to six thousand meters, the mountain rose almost vertically, with howling winds and raging snowstorms, making it difficult to climb, and even flying was not easy.

In the several thousand meters above, the mountain had a significant slope. On this slope, many houses were built, made of wood, stone, iron, and various other materials.

From a distant view in the air, it appeared like a towering mountain suspended above a sea of clouds, with countless buildings constructed on it. Bathed in the light of the nine suns, it was magnificent, grand, and imposing.

Following Lan Fengjin, Qin Yun passed through the snowstorm layer and arrived at the high altitude of ten thousand meters, gazing at the giant mountain above the sea of clouds, marveling continuously.

The huge palace standing at the mountain top was even more astonishing. Just seeing it from afar was awe-inspiring.

"The main hall of the Runes Hall looks far more impressive than your Blue Spirit Star Palace!" Qin Yun couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's right! The Runes Hall is a major force in Wuhuang, with branches throughout the region," Lan Fengjin sneered. "The Blue Spirit Star Palace? Nowhere near as powerful as the Runes Hall!"

Each branch of the Runes Hall is overseen by a head steward, who reports to a regional elder.

For example, Zhuochuan, the regional elder of this border area, oversees the stewards here.

Zhuochuan thought highly of Qin Yun, so Qin Yun was confident that this visit would yield significant gains.

Lan Fengjin was very familiar with this place, having come here twice before, but both times were prior to the Demon Beast invasion.

Now, to reach the Runes Hall, you have to pass through a gate, as a powerful formation protects the mountain from massive flying Demon Beasts.

Lan Fengjin and Qin Yun passed through the entrance and entered the protective barrier surrounding Runes Spirit Mountain, then flew toward the Runes Hall at the mountain peak.

The upper part of Runes Spirit Mountain was like terraced fields, with each level being dozens of meters wide. Houses were built on the mountain side, while streets were on the outer side. Though it looked precarious, the streets were lively and bustling with activity.

Only those with considerable strength come here, seeking to purchase various spiritual artifacts, talismans, and formation materials.

After flying for a short while, Lan Fengjin and Qin Yun arrived at the Runes Hall at the mountain peak. This golden, towering hall stood hundreds of meters tall, its grandeur shining brightly in the sunlight.

"The Runes Hall is truly rolling in wealth!" Qin Yun exclaimed, gazing up at the grand structure.
