Chapter 0348: The Mysterious Scripture of Pills

Qin Yun was in a stone chamber, channeling his mental energy into the second bead. He quickly noticed the array obstructing his mental energy's progress.

In the past, it might have taken him a considerable amount of time to dismantle this array.

Now, after soaking in the Purple Immortal Dew, his mental star crystal had significantly strengthened, resulting in a rapid boost in his mental energy!

In just half a day, he used his silvery mental energy to dismantle the array!

Qin Yun was instantly thrilled and proceeded to inspect the space inside the second bead.

The space within the second bead was modest, about the size of a small room, and contained only a single book!

With a thought, he took out the book and held it in his hands.

The book was golden, with over a hundred pages, each made from a very thin golden animal hide.

It was clear that the recorded contents were of significant importance.

Qin Yun flipped through it, astonished to find that the book contained numerous pill formulas!

All of them were formulas for mysterious pills!

Not only did it contain formulas, but it also included detailed records of the necessary medicinal herbs and cultivation techniques.

In addition to the formulas, it also documented the methods for refining the utensils required for alchemy.

Qin Yun had heard that alchemy and medicine-making required a solid foundation in runic crafting.

This enabled the rapid preparation of pills and medicines by refining corresponding utensils tailored to different herbs.

"All these utensils need to be engraved with the star runes or moon runes necessary for alchemy, all of which are detailed in this book!"

Qin Yun's heart raced. It was common knowledge that the runes required for alchemy and medicine-making only needed to be of royal or mysterious grade to be sufficient.

However, the runic inscriptions in the book *The Mysterious Scripture of Pills* featured both star runes and moon runes!

"The necessary medicinal herbs are difficult to find! I can only begin after reaching Wuhuang!"

While flipping through the book, a very thin token fell out, barely thicker than paper, yet remarkably sturdy and golden.

"Ancient Garden Pass Token!" Qin Yun saw the words on it but didn't know what the ancient garden meant. He could only inquire about it later.

He unlocked the second bead and reaped significant rewards.

Pills are crucial for advancing cultivation.

Pill masters and Runes Masters are held in equal esteem!

...

Qin Yun emerged from the secret chamber and headed to the palace of the Tian Qin Empire, where he located Qin Long.

"Father, I plan to head to Wuhuang!" Qin Yun said. "When are you going?"

"I plan to go a bit later! I'll wait until the situation here stabilizes!" Qin Long patted Qin Yun's shoulder. "Xiao Yun, you are not even twenty yet and already at the martial realm, so I don't have to worry about you. If you go to Wuhuang, you must always be vigilant against the Totem Pavilion!"

"Totem Pavilion? What is that?" Qin Yun quickly asked.

Qin Long's voice was cold and solemn, "They specialize in collecting totem markings! If you have a totem on your arm, they will cut off your arm. If you have a totem on your chest, they will dig out your heart! If you have a totem on your face, they will behead you!"

"This... isn't this the work of a demonic sect?" Qin Yun was horrified.

"No! It is said that the Totem Pavilion has branches in the Demon Wasteland, the Monster Wasteland, and the Martial Wasteland! And they are very powerful, with many royal-level sects having close cooperative relationships with the Totem Pavilion!"

Qin Long warned, "When you go to the Martial Wasteland, you must be extra careful! Very few people know about the Totem Pavilion; it is a very secretive organization!"

Qin Long also has a totem, a mysterious dragon totem!

"Alright, just be careful! In the future, we father and son will surely meet in the Martial Wasteland!" Qin Long smiled, "Go with peace of mind and explore the vast world of martial arts!"

Qin Yun nodded, his heart surging with excitement, eager to experience the grand world of the Martial Wasteland.

"By the way, this is something an old man named Wu Xiang gave me!" Qin Long took out a large box and handed it to Qin Yun.

Qin Yun opened it and was slightly pleased, "It's Mystic Steel Ore! It can be refined into Mystic Steel, essential for crafting mystical weapons!"

"Your friend is quite capable!" Qin Long chuckled.

Qin Yun stored the box of Mystic Steel Ore and offered some beast oil to Qin Long, but Qin Long refused.

Finally, the father and son shared a drink together, bidding farewell!

Qin Yun felt that his father must know something about the Burial Immortal Ground, but he kept it to himself.

...

Qin Yun returned to the Silver Mountain of Strange Patterns and quickly crafted several jade pendants for Shui Yihui and San Yao, enabling them to enter and exit the hall and activate some formations.

Outside the cave at the top of the Silver Mountain of Strange Patterns, Zi Qingcheng had already arrived.

She was dressed in light purple clothes, without any elaborate headdresses, but she wore two beautiful purple earrings, and her ponytail was tied with a purple hair tie.

Her current outfit was refreshingly simple, making her look vibrant and lively, like a spirited young girl.

Lan Fengjin, on the other hand, was dressed provocatively, wearing light blue shorts that revealed her slim waist and a short-sleeved top, looking very striking.

This was how Qin Yun had first seen her.

"We have been dealing with the remnants of the Dragon Fist Spirit Sect over the past two days, completely wiping them out!" Zi Qingcheng said as she saw Qin Yun come out.

"Are there any Spirit Martial realm members left in the Dragon Fist Spirit Sect?" Qin Yun asked.

"None! There were still more than ten Martial realm members, but we have taken care of them all!"

Zi Qingcheng brought out her purple-gold carriage, opened the door, and let Qin Yun and Lan Fengjin inside.

Shui Yihui felt much more at ease knowing that Zi Qingcheng would accompany Qin Yun to Wuhuang.

"Qin Yun, don't worry, I will also visit the Tian Qin Empire whenever I have time!" Shui Yihui waved goodbye to Qin Yun.

"Master, by the time you return, we will definitely be stronger!" Da Yao laughed.

Du Gui also agreed to take the three brothers as his disciples, guiding them in cultivating mental energy.

"Alright, until we meet again!" Qin Yun shouted.

Zi Qingcheng steered the carriage, flying deep into the Cloud Dragon Mountains!

The Yunlong River roared and raged, its waves growing more and more turbulent!

Even sitting inside the RV, Qin Yun and the others could hear the furious roar of the waves below.

Lan Fengjin gazed out the window and murmured, "I wonder if Grandpa and the others went to Wuhuang or perhaps to investigate the Burial Immortal Ground."

"I think they probably went to Wuhuang," Zi Qingcheng replied. "Fengjin, do you plan to follow Qin Yun everywhere?"

"Of course! He's my master, after all. Who else would I follow?" Lan Fengjin chuckled softly, glancing at Qin Yun.

Zi Qingcheng said, "I have a few friends in Wuhuang who are at the Spirit Martial realm level. They're all women and hold high-ranking positions in some Profound-level sects. Would you perhaps like to join them?"

"I..." Lan Fengjin looked at Qin Yun, hesitating for a moment.

Qin Yun asked, "Sister Lan, did you send Yuelan and the others to a Profound-level sect?"

"Moon Mystic Valley! When you get to Wuhuang, you'll see just how impressive that place is," Zi Qingcheng said.

"Moon Mystic Valley? That's one of the top ten Profound-level sects in Wuhuang, and it's an all-female sect!" Lan Fengjin exclaimed, her voice filled with awe and longing.

Qin Yun laughed, "Sister Lan, do you want to go as well?"

"I... I do! I've heard they have cultivation methods specifically designed for women, allowing them to progress rapidly and maintain eternal youth!" Lan Fengjin said.

"I can arrange for you to join, if you'd like," Zi Qingcheng said with a light smile.

"Sister Baozi used to be part of Moon Mystic Valley but was expelled," Qin Yun teased.

Zi Qingcheng immediately glared at Qin Yun, as this was a less-than-glorious part of her past.

Lan Fengjin found it strange why Qin Yun called Zi Qingcheng "Sister Baozi," but she didn't ask. Instead, she curiously said, "Sister Qingcheng, why were you expelled?"

"Because she kept stealing food, gained too much weight, and brought shame to Moon Mystic Valley, so they kicked her out!" Qin Yun laughed heartily. "Look at her face—it's as round as a dumpling!"

Zi Qingcheng snorted, "You little brat, do you think I'll throw you out right now?"

Lan Fengjin couldn't help but laugh, "Sister Qingcheng isn't overweight, her face is just a bit round!"

Just as the RV flew past the Yunlong River, a deep roar suddenly echoed from outside.

Qin Yun quickly wiped the smile off his face, opened the window, and looked out.

"Did I mishear? I thought I heard something roaring just now," Qin Yun asked.

"We've just crossed the Yunlong River. This area is filled with powerful Demon Beasts and monstrous beasts," Zi Qingcheng said with a serious expression, swiftly maneuvering the RV into the clouds to hide.

Lan Fengjin said, "Master, you didn't mishear. I also heard the roar just now... It sounded terrifying."

Both Qin Yun and Lan Fengjin turned to look at Zi Qingcheng, whose expression had turned grave.

"Sister Qingcheng, what kind of creature was that?" Lan Fengjin whispered.

"I'm not sure unless I hear it again..." Zi Qingcheng had just finished speaking when the roar echoed once more.

Hearing the sound, Zi Qingcheng's face turned pale. She quickly guided the RV down into a forest below, hiding it within the canopy of a giant tree.

Seeing her reaction, Qin Yun and Lan Fengjin knew that the beast that had roared was incredibly dangerous!

"What is it?" Qin Yun asked urgently.

"It's... it's a dragon!" Zi Qingcheng's face turned pale with fear. "I've heard the sounds of many ancient beasts from some ancient seashells that have survived from antiquity, and the roar of a dragon is the most memorable. I can't be wrong!"

Lan Fengjin was also filled with terror, her eyes showing fear. "The Yunlong Mountain Range hides a dragon. It seems it's not just a legend!"

"Let's hold our ground and only move once the sound dies down," Zi Qingcheng exhaled deeply. "I hope we don't run into it, or we're done for!"

"How strong is a dragon?" Qin Yun had just asked when the dragon's roar came again.

This time, the sound was even stronger, shaking the leaves!

Zi Qingcheng said gravely, "I don't know, but it's definitely strong! It's definitely more than I can handle. I don't know why, but a dragon has actually appeared... a creature of this caliber shouldn't be here!"

The dragon's roars continued, but gradually weakened!

Inside the carriage, Zi Qingcheng let out a soft sigh, thinking they might finally relax, but then the ground suddenly trembled, and the dragon's roar grew even more deafening!
