Chapter 0433: The Desolate Immortal Tomb

After Wei Zhongzheng walked in, he smiled and said, "Yanying, the sect leader of Moon Profound Valley, Grandma Du, is outside watching the flag array! Go out and demonstrate it for her!"

"Alright!" Yanying hurriedly went out. She had long heard of Grandma Du's reputation but had never had the chance to meet her.

Zi Qingcheng's stunning face, which had been wearing a charming smile, turned somewhat angry the moment she saw Qin Yun.

In her eyes, Qin Yun was just a very mischievous little brat who always wanted to pinch her cheeks.

"You guys chat slowly, I'll go out and accompany Grandma Du for a stroll!" Wei Zhongzheng laughed, then headed towards the medicine garden.

Zi Qingcheng looked at the frail Feng Honglan on the bed and asked with some concern, "How is her poison?"

"She will gradually get better!" Qin Yun smiled. "Baozi Sister, she is the genuine beauty of the Northern State, much prettier than you, the self-proclaimed beauty!"

Zi Qingcheng knew that as long as she was with Qin Yun, she had to be prepared to get angry.

She rolled her eyes at Qin Yun and snorted lightly, "I won't lower myself to your level!"

Feng Honglan chuckled softly, "Senior brother, don't say that! Sister Qingcheng was once a beauty renowned across the four states of Wuhuang, not only in appearance but also in martial prowess and other aspects!"

"Really? Maybe it was just a time when there weren't many good-looking people around!" Qin Yun laughed.

Feng Honglan quickly said, "No! Back then, there were lineage warriors who vied fiercely for Sister Qingcheng's favor, causing two lineage families to become enemies!"

"And many young talents in Wuhuang also fought for Sister Qingcheng, igniting years of bloody strife!"

Qin Yun looked at Zi Qingcheng in disbelief, surprised, "Baozi Sister, is this true? It really makes me reconsider my view of you!"

"If I were to be more high-profile, even now, I could make a group of seasoned Spirit Martial realm masters fight over me!" Zi Qingcheng said with a proud expression, crossing her arms in front of her chest, making her chest stand out high, her aura suddenly becoming very fierce.

Seeing her proud look, Qin Yun couldn't help but reach out and pinch her beautiful cheek, laughing, "Baozi Sister, your face is indeed the best to pinch in the Northern State!"

Zi Qingcheng immediately bared her teeth and also reached out her jade hand to rub Qin Yun's face.

Soon, the two of them were brawling like common ruffians.

Feng Honglan, lying on the bed, was stunned. She never expected that a woman like Zi Qingcheng would fight with Qin Yun like a tavern brawl.

After a while, Zi Qingcheng was also left with messy hair and disheveled clothes, panting heavily.

She realized that no matter how she tussled with Qin Yun, she would always end up at a disadvantage.

Just now, Qin Yun had taken quite a bit of advantage of her!

"Let's talk business!" Zi Qingcheng combed her hair and snorted, "I brought Grandma Du to see that Ninefold Spirit Rain Array! How much are you selling it for?"

"What about Sister Lan? You didn't bring her?" Qin Yun said, "You have to promise me to let Sister Lan join the Nine Profound Sect, or else no deal!"

"That's not a problem. Feng Jin is in seclusion, trying to break through to the Martial Realm 3rd Layer! Once she breaks through, I'll send her over!" Zi Qingcheng said, "The Ninefold Spirit Rain Array is indeed very good. First, tell me how you plan to sell it!"

Feng Honglan, who had been in the medicine garden for half a year, also knew that the Ninefold Spirit Rain was a formation only available to imperial-level sects, and it was also arranged by Qin Yun, which had surprised her at the time.

"Give Grandma Du to me, and I'll help Moon Profound Valley deploy a Ninefold Spirit Rain Array!" Qin Yun laughed, "That way, when I'm bored, I can tease you by pinching your cheeks!"

Zi Qingcheng was stunned. She never expected Qin Yun to think this way.

She had thought Qin Yun would ask for many purple spirit coins or other things.

"Well... it's not impossible. For the sake of Moon Profound Valley, I'm willing to make sacrifices!" Zi Qingcheng gritted her teeth, making a difficult decision, her stunning face filled with helplessness.

Qin Yun gently patted her cheek and laughed, "I was just joking! You're not worth much; what would I even do with you? Purple Crystal Coins are way more useful!"

Zi Qingcheng's jade-like hand trembled, and she really wanted to slap him. She had already agreed to give herself away, but Qin Yun was just teasing her, which infuriated her.

Feng Honglan was also shocked. Zi Qingcheng, such a beauty, had once caused disciples from bloodline families to fight over her... yet Qin Yun treated her with disdain.

Zi Qingcheng stomped her feet in anger, grinding her teeth as she glared at Qin Yun, wishing she could devour him.

"One hundred million Purple Crystal Coins!" Qin Yun laughed.

"Too expensive, eighty million!" Zi Qingcheng immediately countered.

"Baozi Sister, though you're not much, I still think you're worth one hundred million Purple Crystal Coins! Offering eighty million is just admitting you're only worth eighty million!" Qin Yun sneered.

Zi Qingcheng's constellation immediately erupted in curses.

At this moment, Old Lady Du, soaked to the bone, walked in. She was dressed in white, leaning on a cane, her face filled with a happy smile. She asked, "Qingcheng, how’s the haggling going?"

"Grandma Du, I offered one hundred and thirty million, but Sister Qingcheng bargained it down to one hundred and ten million!" Qin Yun muttered. "The Ninefold Spirit Rain Array is extremely difficult to set up. Your Profound-level sect has the chance to obtain such an array, yet you still haggle with me!"

Zi Qingcheng's beautiful eyes widened, and she wished she could fiercely pinch Qin Yun's face.

She shouted, "You... didn't you say one hundred million?"

Qin Yun said, "Grandma Du, look! She's bargaining it down to one hundred million again! Alright, alright, since Moon Profound Valley is all ladies, one hundred million it is—deal!"

Grandma Du frowned, as this exceeded her expectations by quite a bit. She had originally thought ninety million would be enough.

Feng Honglan was totally floored. It was the first time she had seen someone raise the price like this.

"Since that's the case, then it's settled!" Grandma Du nodded.

Zi Qingcheng was speechless. She was sure she could snag it for eighty million, but now Qin Yun had forced her to accept one hundred million.

Qin Yun urgently needed Purple Crystal Coins to operate the Sun Convergence Array, as it would help him quickly reach the Martial Realm 3rd Layer, so he shamelessly asked for more Purple Crystal Coins.

Wei Zhongzheng laughed, "Don’t be fooled—even though our Nine Profound Sect has me, the Martial King. Truth is, we’re pretty broke!"

"And your Moon Profound Valley's wealth is among the top in Profound-level sects. You’ve been flying under the radar for years, raking in the cash. I know it well!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun immediately regretted not asking for more Purple Crystal Coins.

"When can you deliver?" Grandma Du asked.

"Give it about two months! Can you pay me one hundred million Purple Crystal Coins in advance?" Qin Yun smiled. "I’m desperate for Purple Crystal Coins! You know, I have dual spirit cores, and one of them is black, which consumes a lot of resources!"

Grandma Du nodded, understanding Qin Yun's situation. She took out a Purple Crystal Card and transferred one hundred million Purple Crystal Coins to Qin Yun.

Zi Qingcheng said with some concern, "Honestly, little brat, can you even reach the Martial Realm 3rd Layer? The Strange Patterns Hall’s already written you off!"

Grandma Du sighed and looked at Qin Yun, saying, "I’ve got some intel! The Totem Pavilion and several bloodline families have offered the Strange Patterns Hall significant benefits, making them abandon their protection of you!"

"Maybe the Strange Patterns Hall thinks you’re a lost cause, and the benefits before them are too great, so they chose to give up on you!"

Wei Zhongzheng said, "The only thing that could tempt the Strange Patterns Hall is the Ancient Secret Domains! The Totem Pavilion and bloodline families control several Ancient Secret Domains. It’s very likely they gifted a few to the Strange Patterns Hall as a bribe."

"Oh, and Sect Leader Wei, did you catch this? They stumbled on a huge Ancient Secret Domain in the Cloud Dragon Mountains. Inside this domain, there’s a massive ancient celestial tomb, like a whole freaking city!" Grandma Du suddenly mentioned.

"I haven't heard of this!" Wei Zhongzheng promptly asked, "When did this happen?"

Grandma Du said, "It seems they didn't invite you! But that's normal, after all, your Nine Extremes Profound Gate has so many enemies, including the bloodline families. They definitely wouldn't let you go!"

Zi Qingcheng added, "They said that once the people who went to the Ancient Garden come out and are ready, they'll all head to the Yunlong Mountain Range and enter that ancient secret realm!"

Qin Yun secretly felt that there were multiple factors for being abandoned by the Qiwén Hall.

Firstly, because he didn't enter the Ancient Garden. Secondly, his Black Martial Soul couldn't break through. Thirdly, he had made too many enemies, which would also weaken the Qiwén Hall's influence in Wuhuang.

The fourth reason was that the bloodline families and Totem Pavilion had offered significant benefits to the Qiwén Hall.

The reason the bloodline families and the Totem Pavilion wanted to capture him was also for his Sky Lion Totem and the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, both of which were extremely precious items.

"Since they didn't invite us, then we won't get involved in that commotion! The immortal tombs in the Yunlong Mountain Range are treacherous, and one might die in there!" Wei Zhongzheng said.

"It's said that they will gather fifty Martial Kings and a hundred Xuan Martial realm cultivators this time, bringing juniors along to enter! With the three wastelands working together, safety should be guaranteed!" Grandma Du laughed, "By then, both Qingcheng and I will also go!"

Although Qin Yun didn't say it, he had already made up his mind to go.

He had to go and confirm whether that immortal tomb was related to Xie Qirou!

"Then I'll hurry up and craft that set of formations for you!" Qin Yun said.

"Great, great!" Grandma Du laughed happily. Their Moon Profound Valley would soon have a grand formation that only royal-grade sects possess.

Qin Yun had Zi Qingcheng stay to help and asked Grandma Du to bring Xiao Yuelan, Yang Shiyue, and others over in two months.

After that, Zi Qingcheng was like a servant, being bossed around by Qin Yun to do all sorts of tasks.

Fortunately, she was good-natured, otherwise, she would have been constantly complaining.

Yuan Yanying and Feng Honglan were also here, and they joined in to help.

Feng Honglan's poison injury had completely healed, and she was now full of vitality, wearing a pure white dress, radiant and beautiful, especially when her face was filled with a happy smile, she was positively glowing.

Even Zi Qingcheng thought Feng Honglan was more beautiful than her.

Qin Yun took half a month to finish that set of flag formations.

This made Zi Qingcheng seethe inwardly because Qin Yun had previously said it would take two months to complete, but now it was done so quickly.

Zi Qingcheng originally wanted to leave, but Qin Yun kept her to continue as a helper.

Because Qin Yun still needed to refine royal-grade spirit talismans and royal-grade spiritual artifacts, as well as various talisman formations and talisman tools.

He had caught such a good free helper, so he definitely wanted to make the most of this opportunity.
