Chapter 0342: Heart Soars to Wuhuang

Zi Qingcheng closed her eyes, extremely nervous. The carriage was so quiet that she could hear her own heartbeat and the sound of Qin Yun's pen scratching on paper...

"You little rascal, recording the spirit patterns with such seriousness!"

She opened her eyes and saw Qin Yun completely engrossed in recording the spirit patterns on her upper body, his mind entirely absorbed in the task.

This made her secretly wonder if she was truly so unattractive that she held no appeal to men.

Zi Qingcheng looked at Qin Yun with a hint of resentment and whispered, "Can you... really make good use of these spirit patterns?"

"Of course I can!" Qin Yun looked at Zi Qingcheng's chest, his eyes unblinking, though it was unclear if he was looking at the spirit patterns or something else entirely.

Zi Qingcheng thought that as long as this matter wasn't spread around, it would be fine.

However, she still felt very shy, her jade-like face flushed red, her eyes filled with bashfulness.

"Hurry up!" she urged softly.

"I'll be done soon. This spirit pattern isn't as intricate as the one on your back!" Qin Yun said, continuing to record the spirit patterns with great focus.

After he finished recording, he used his fingers to trace and erase the spirit patterns on her body, doing so quickly...

Once finished, Zi Qingcheng quickly slipped into her purple dress, wrapping her body tightly.

However, the sensation of Qin Yun's gentle touch lingered in her mind...

Meanwhile, Qin Yun stared at the two spirit patterns, acting as if nothing had just happened!

"I never expected your mental state to be so elevated!" Zi Qingcheng said softly as she regulated her energy.

"Now I finally understand why you don't look heavy but feel so solid. The weight is all in the right places!" Qin Yun chuckled.

Zi Qingcheng's face turned crimson, and she closed her eyes, refusing to say another word.

Qin Yun put away the two pieces of paper and suddenly reached out, placing his hand on Zi Qingcheng's slightly plump face, then began to rub it back and forth.

"Little rascal, what are you doing!" Zi Qingcheng was both shocked and furious, shouting in a delicate voice.

"You rubbed my face earlier, so I'm just returning the favor!" Qin Yun laughed. "Your round face is so fun to pinch!"

Zi Qingcheng released a burst of energy, shoving Qin Yun away, and shouted angrily, "You're the one with a round face!"

Qin Yun leaned against the corner, glancing at the spot on Zi Qingcheng where the spirit patterns had been inscribed.

When Zi Qingcheng noticed his gaze, she suddenly realized that Qin Yun's comment about the bun wasn't just about her face but hinted at something else...

She shot Qin Yun a fierce glare, then closed her eyes and continued to regulate her energy.

She suddenly felt that since meeting Qin Yun, the amount of anger she had experienced far surpassed what she had felt in many years combined.

After recovering some of her strength, Zi Qingcheng controlled the carriage, flying swiftly through the air, crossing the Yunlong River, and making their way toward the Purple Spirit Star Palace.

This was Qin Yun's first time venturing to the other side of the Yunlong River. He now had some understanding that the trees there were enormous and hid many powerful Demon Beasts.

"It seems the Dragon Fist Spirit Sect can control spirit beasts!"

Zi Qingcheng sighed softly, "They are now very wary of the Purple Spirit Star Palace and are eager to take me down because they fear I might annex them or that I might be the first to find clues to the Burial Immortal Ground!"

Qin Yun curled his lips and said, "Your conflicts are really fierce!"

"Now, three sects have joined forces against me! Even though I took over the Blue Spirit Star Palace, Lan Chen and some Spirit Martial realm practitioners have left. In the Blue Spirit Star Palace, only you are considered powerful!"

Zi Qingcheng seemed somewhat angry as she mentioned this: "They refuse to follow me, is it simply because I'm a woman?"

Lan Chen, having lost the Blue Spirit Star Palace, patted his bald head and left.

Other Spirit Martial realm elders also refused to follow a woman like Zi Qingcheng, so they left the Blue Spirit Star Palace one after another.

Qin Yun sighed as well; the Blue Spirit Star Palace had disintegrated so quietly!

"When I see Lan Chen again, I’ll definitely mock that bald head of his for running away after losing!"

Zi Qingcheng smiled: "Qin Yun, would you... be willing to be the pillar of our Purple Spirit Star Palace now?"

"Not really! I’ll talk it over with Yuelan and Teacher Yang first before deciding!" Qin Yun did not agree immediately, as it would be very tiring.

"Well... Qin Yun..." Zi Qingcheng’s expression shifted slightly, showing hesitation, and she spoke with visible guilt: "Yuelan and Shiyue are no longer in the Purple Spirit Star Palace!"

Qin Yun, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up in shock upon hearing this, exclaiming: "Where have they gone? Sister Lan told me they were in your Purple Spirit Star Palace!"

"Mainly because Shiyue’s injuries were too severe, I had to send two Spirit Martial realm elders to escort her through the Cloud Dragon Mountains to Wuhuang... Yuelan and Ziye also had to go, and I agreed!" Zi Qingcheng lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Yun.

Crossing the Cloud Dragon Mountains is extremely perilous!

Just hearing about it made Qin Yun very worried!

Angrily, he said coldly, "You lied to me! Why didn’t you tell me sooner?"

Seeing Qin Yun’s anger, Zi Qingcheng quickly explained: "Qin Yun, I know you’re worried about Yuelan, especially since she possesses the Burial Immortal Map!"

"But rest assured, I sent them to Wuhuang and arranged for them to join a very strong Mystic level sect, which only accepts female disciples... They will be very safe there!"

"Their martial talents are exceptional; joining a Mystic level sect early will be highly beneficial for them!"

"Moreover, it was their decision to go. At the time... they thought you wouldn’t emerge from the Strange Pattern Sect so soon."

Qin Yun pondered for a moment and then asked: "You didn’t tell me earlier because you were afraid I would find out they went to Wuhuang and worry that I would follow immediately?"

"The Purple Spirit Star Palace lost two Spirit Martial realm elders, and the other three sects knew, so they ambushed you, right?"

Zi Qingcheng sighed and nodded: "I just wanted to keep you here for a while, so the Dragon Fist Spirit Sect wouldn’t dare to act rashly, and wait until those two elders return!"

"Can you truly guarantee that Yuelan and the teacher won’t face any threats from others?" Qin Yun asked very seriously.

Zi Qingcheng quickly nodded: "I sent them to the Mystic level sect in Wuhuang to give them more security!"

"The Mystic level sect they joined is also my former sect... I was expelled because of a mistake, then entered the Purple Spirit Star Palace, and finally inherited the position of palace head."

"Although I was expelled, I have deep feelings for that sect, and they have secretly helped before! With Yuelan and Shiyue's talents, they will surely have great development there!"

Seeing Qin Yun's doubtful expression, Zi Qingcheng added: "I promise you, once I stabilize things here, I will take you to Wuhuang, and Fengjin... I heard about her being bullied before, and I have killed those evil women!"

Qin Yun's eyebrow twitched; those evil women were all from the Spirit Martial realm, not weak forces for the Purple Spirit Star Palace, but Zi Qingcheng had dealt with them so swiftly!

"How do you want me to help you?" Qin Yun also wanted to go to Wuhuang to see.

"If possible, you could provide some of the strange patterns you obtained from the Strange Pattern Sect to us!" Zi Qingcheng said.

Qin Yun shook his head and said, "The runes I got from the Runes Sect can't be shared! Of course, if your Runes Masters can pass the trials of the Runes Sect, I'll pass them on to you! Even if Sister Lan's my disciple, I can't pass them on to her!"

Zi Qingcheng looked a bit disappointed and sighed softly.

"Have you heard of beast oil? How much help would this be for you?"

Qin Yun felt that Zi Qingcheng had considerable ambitions and thought it appropriate to help her a bit.

If she could truly strengthen the Purple Spirit Star Palace in the future, it would also be of great help to him.

Upon hearing about beast oil, Zi Qingcheng's eyes immediately lit up, and she quickly nodded, "Of course, I've heard of it! It's super useful and pretty rare in Wuhuang. It can be used to quickly refine Xuan Yuan Steel or to refine materials. In short, it has many uses!"

"I'll hook you up with some. This should help you out a lot, right?" Qin Yun said.

Zi Qingcheng smiled and asked, "How much?"

...

Half a day later, Qin Yun followed Zi Qingcheng to the Purple Spirit Star Palace.

They entered a large underground chamber, which originally housed a big pool used to store spirit liquid.

Now, however, it was filled with beast oil poured by Qin Yun from a bottle, which still contained a vast amount of beast oil!

"This enough for you?" Qin Yun saw Zi Qingcheng's shocked face and couldn't resist giving her cheek a pinch, "Baozi Sister, this beast oil should last you a long time, right?"

Zi Qingcheng nodded quickly, her face lit up with excitement and a big smile. Even though Qin Yun pinched her face and called her "Baozi Sister," she wasn't angry.

Having obtained so much beast oil, she hurriedly went to inform the Runes Masters of the Purple Spirit Star Palace.

Meanwhile, Qin Yun left the Purple Spirit Star Palace and headed to the Imperial City of the Tian Qin Empire!

Upon arriving at the imperial palace in the Imperial City, Qin Yun discussed many matters with his father in the study.

Qin Long knew about all the big things his son had done in the Blue Spirit Star Palace.

Seeing Qin Yun back and now in the Martial Realm, he was really happy.

Qin Long sighed, the dragon totem on his face flickering continuously, "Little Yun! Things at the border are just one mess after another!"

"First, we had Demon Beast attacks, and now a bunch of big sects are showing up, all way stronger than our palace!"

After stepping into the Martial Realm, Qin Yun realized that his father was not just at the first level of the Martial Realm but at the second or third level, much stronger than the first!

Qin Yun asked, "Father, I've interacted with the Purple Spirit Palace Master. She mentioned that in the future, more sects will station here to investigate the Burial Immortal Ground. So, what are our plans for the Tian Qin Empire?"

"I talked it over with the Demon Suppressing King, and we'll pick a solid sect to back when the time's right!"

Qin Long smiled, "I was thinking of teaming up with the Purple Spirit Star Palace, but things are still up in the air... I'll wait till they sort out their beef with the other sects before deciding."

Qin Yun was pretty sure the Purple Spirit Star Palace would come out on top, especially since he'd hooked them up with a ton of beast oil.
