Chapter 0375: Restoring the Mystical Weapon

Hong Mengshu looked upset after hearing the news.

Xiao Yuemei grumbled, "Grand Master, is there seriously no other way? You're the Grand Master, so you must know many skilled Rune Masters. Could you ask them for help? This blade cost me over ten million purple spirit coins!"

Mu Fengxiao said, "How about you lend me the blade? I'll transcribe the Moon Runes on it!"

"If you lend it to me for an hour, I'll give you half a million purple spirit coins. If you lend it for two hours, I'll give you one million purple spirit coins. How about that? It'll cover some of your loss!"

"Alright," Hong Mengshu nodded.

"Just wait here for a bit. I'll arrange for someone to entertain you," Mu Fengxiao said quickly and had an elder bring some women who offered food.

At the sight of the food, Xiao Yuemei's eyes lit up immediately.

Mu Fengxiao quickly took the Mystical Moon Blade and went into a room to copy the Moon Runes.

Xiao Yuemei didn't hesitate to dig into the food.

"Sister Mengzhu, aren't you going to eat? It's free!" Xiao Yuemei said.

"I don't feel like eating," Hong Mengshu said with a pout, letting out a sigh.

"Then I'll eat more to make up for it and eat for you too..." Xiao Yuemei shamelessly picked up two fruits and then shouted at Qin Yun, "Brother, how can you be like this? You're stuffing food into your storage spirit artifact! You're even greedier than me!"

Hong Mengshu was speechless seeing the two siblings—one was wolfing down food, while the other stuffed food into a bag as if they'd never seen decent food before.

Qin Yun also thought that since it was free, he might as well grab some, especially since the snacks and fruits were delicious.

He packed extra for Mo Mo to eat!

"The Runes Temple is so wealthy, taking a little more won't hurt. Would the Grand Master of the Runes Temple really scold me over a few fruits?" Qin Yun chuckled.

Xiao Yuemei laughed and said, "That's right!" Then she happily ate a large peach in her hand.

Hong Mengshu took out a coin card and said to Qin Yun, "Brother Xiao, I'll give you half a million purple spirit coins! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gotten these purple spirit coins and would have been scammed out of some money!"

"Also, if it weren't for you recognizing the Moon Runes, the Grand Master wouldn't have borrowed my blade!"

Xiao Yuemei gently nudged Qin Yun, urging him to accept the purple spirit coins.

Qin Yun thought for a moment and realized he was quite poor himself.

Although he had a few million purple spirit coins, they were meant to buy Purple Frost Xuan Grass.

So, he took out his coin card and accepted the half a million purple spirit coins.

Hong Mengshu thought that Qin Yun was really Xiao Yuemei's brother, which was why she called him "Brother Xiao."

"Brother Xiao, how long do you think the Grand Master will take?" Hong Mengshu asked curiously. "Will it be an hour?"

"Those Moon Runes are very complex and numerous! When he copies them, to ensure precision, he will have to go very slowly. At the fastest, it will take four to five hours," Qin Yun said after thinking for a moment.

Xiao Yuemei happily giggled, "Four to five hours? That's quite a long time. We can eat for four to five hours outside too!"

"Being able to help me get back two to three million purple spirit coins is already very good," Hong Mengshu said, feeling much better. She smiled and picked up a glass of juice to drink.

Qin Yun said, "More than two to three million purple spirit coins? If the news about the Moon Runes on the Mystical Moon Blade spreads, and you lend it to those Rune Masters, charging half a million purple spirit coins per hour, you'll end up earning a ton of purple spirit coins!"

Xiao YueMei exclaimed, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise. "Brother, you're really something!"

Hong Mengshu smiled. "Indeed! In the future, those arrogant Runes Masters in the palace will come to me too! I never expected them to be a bunch of fools who couldn't even recognize the Moon Runes!"

"That's right, Brother Xiao, you're amazing for recognizing the Moon Runes! What kind of background are you two from?"

Xiao YueMei giggled. "He's not my biological brother, but he treats me even better than a real brother! He's also going to be my brother-in-law!"

Although Hong Mengshu was curious, she didn't press them further. She could also tell that both Qin Yun and Xiao YueMei were hiding their identities.

More than four hours passed, and Mu Fengxiao emerged from the room with a smile, returning the Mystical Moon Blade to Hong Mengshu and giving her two million purple spirit coins.

"Princess, I have a favor to ask... If anyone wants to borrow the blade, I hope you won't lend it out to others!" Mu Fengxiao said.

"Why? If I lend it out, I can earn purple spirit coins! I'm taking a loss right now! I need to recover my costs!" Hong Mengshu frowned.

Mu Fengxiao looked somewhat troubled. "Well... I have my own little selfish reason! If you do that, I'll have exclusivity in this area. If you lend it out, I won't be the only one with access."

Xiao YueMei smiled. "I understand now. If the Grand Master has exclusivity, he can brag about these Moon Runes in the future. If everyone has access, there'll be nothing to brag about!"

Mu Fengxiao was stunned for a moment and then said, "Young lady, you're quite straightforward... Alright, how about this, Princess? I'll give you an additional one million purple spirit coins, but please don't lend the Mystical Moon Blade to others, alright?"

Hong Mengshu thought for a moment, then looked at Qin Yun and said, "Grand Master, can I still lend it to this friend of mine?"

"Since he's your friend, of course, you can!" Mu Fengxiao said. "If you need any help in the future, I'll do my best to assist you!"

Being able to connect with the Grand Master of the Way of Odd Patterns was an excellent opportunity.

Hong Mengshu, having spent so much time in the palace, knew that whenever she sought help from the Runes Masters in the palace, they would always brush her off.

It was also due to her low cultivation level. If it were her brothers in the Spirit Martial realm who went, those Runes Masters would receive them warmly.

Now, being able to connect with Mu Fengxiao, who had a friendly attitude, seemed like a worthwhile connection.

After weighing the benefits, Hong Mengshu nodded. "In the future, if I need your help, Grand Master, you can't brush me off!"

"Definitely not! Meeting you is also my fortune. Seeing your Moon Runes has helped me make progress in the Way of Odd Patterns! You've helped me a lot!" Mu Fengxiao said.

Hong Mengshu nodded and accepted the one million purple spirit coins from Mu Fengxiao.

"Grand Master, can my brother and I stay at the Way of Odd Patterns for free from now on?" Xiao YueMei asked. She had developed a fondness for the Way of Odd Patterns because she had lived there for some time with Xiao Xuanqin in the Imperial City of Tian Qin.

"Of course!" Mu Fengxiao said with a smile, gently patting Xiao YueMei on the head. "You're both welcome to come anytime!"

"By the way, your brother is truly impressive. The Moon Runes he drew were extremely precise, especially considering he only glanced at them briefly!"

Qin Yun nodded and then asked, "Grand Master, I want to purchase some Purple Frost Xuan Grass. Do you know where I might find it?"

Hong Mengshu looked surprised. "Purple Frost Xuan Grass? That's an extremely valuable herb worth millions, and it's quite rare!"

"I'll have someone look into it for you. This kind of herb is hard to come by and will take some time," Mu Fengxiao said hurriedly, calling over an elder to inquire.

"Thank you very much, Grand Master!" Qin Yun said gratefully.

"It's nothing! I have some things to attend to first. Feel free to look around!" Mu Fengxiao said, then quickly returned to the room, likely to continue his study of the Moon Runes.

Qin Yun and the others were led to a luxurious suite, complete with several rooms, secret chambers, and all the amenities like baths and pools, all extravagantly decorated.

Once Xiao YueMei closed the door, Qin Yun said, "Princess, can I take a look at your blade? I've never touched it before."

Qin Yun had helped Hong Mengshu a great deal, so he didn’t hesitate and quickly handed the sword over.

"A really excellent sword! An ancient mystical weapon that’s still so well-preserved!" Qin Yun gently stroked the red blade, which gleamed like a ruby, while the edge of the blade was extremely sharp.

"This curved blade seems to be designed with the Moon Runes in mind!" Qin Yun carefully examined the handle. "The material used for the handle, I don’t know what it is, but it’s very icy!"

Hong Mengshu sighed softly, "This blade was extracted from within a very large Life Trace Crystal Jade!"

"It was actually inside a Life Trace Crystal Jade? That’s why it’s so well-preserved!" Qin Yun exclaimed in surprise, finding it quite incredible, as Life Trace Crystal Jade was something extremely ancient.

Xiao Yuemei came behind Hong Mengshu, giggling as she fiddled with her twin ponytails.

Since the Mystical Moon Blade couldn’t be repaired, Hong Mengshu was in a bad mood and let Xiao Yuemei play with her hair.

Qin Yun said, "I might be able to repair it!"

"Really?" Hong Mengshu stood up abruptly.

"Brother, even the Grand Master already said it couldn’t be repaired! Can you really do it?" Xiao Yuemei was also surprised.

Qin Yun smiled, "I want to give it a try, I have my own method! But Nine Princess, you have to promise me that if I actually repair it, you won’t tell anyone!"

Hong Mengshu always found Qin Yun to be very reliable, so she quickly nodded, "You got it!"

"If you can repair this blade, I’ll pull some strings and help you find the Purple Frost Xuan Grass!"

As the Nine Princess, Hong Mengshu certainly had many connections.

"Alright, just wait for me!" Qin Yun took the blade and entered a quiet room.

Inside, he let Mo Mo out and asked, "Mo Mo, can you fix the Moon Runes?"

"Yes!" Mo Mo nodded eagerly.

"That’s great! By the way, while you’re fixing them, take a look at these damaged runes too. This set of Moon Runes should be Spirit Grade Moon Runes! They’re more common than the ones I got from the Mystical Runes Sect, but they’re very suitable for beginners to learn from!"

Mo Mo said, "I might need to consume a lot of dragon demon beast crystal eggs, and there’ll be only one left!"

"Don’t worry!" Qin Yun had kept many dragon demon beast crystal eggs for emergencies.

Afterward, Mo Mo began to repair the damaged Moon Runes on the Mystical Moon Blade while also recording them.

Watching Mo Mo, who was radiating a crystal-clear white light, Qin Yun silently admired this beautiful and lovely little sprite. Although she was called a magical elf, she had no trace of evil aura.

As the high priestess among the magical elves, Mo Mo's abilities were indeed terrifying and magical!
