Chapter 0434: Balance of Three Spirits

Zi Qingcheng was eager to help upon seeing Qin Yun’s advanced Runes Master badge. Otherwise, as the former top beauty of the Northern Province, she would never have done such hard work.

Only Qin Yun could enlist the help of two generations of the Northern Province’s top beauties.

"Senior Brother, where’s Jade Rabbit? Why don’t you let her out?" Feng Honglan didn’t know the specifics about Jade Rabbit and only knew that she was sleeping.

"It’s best she stays asleep; otherwise, she’d consume a monster beast crystal egg daily! When we need her, we can wake her up and feed her some monster beast crystal eggs," Qin Yun said.

Feng Honglan was surprised: "I never realized Jade Rabbit was so magical, effortlessly detoxifying me!"

"Naturally!" Qin Yun smiled.

Zi Qingcheng helped Qin Yun for a month, enduring the hard work without a word of complaint. Of course, she also gained a lot and realized that being a Runes Master is no easy task.

"Baozi Sister, since you’re enjoying yourself, why not stay another month? I’m planning to try forging a mystical weapon!" Qin Yun laughed. "Would you like to witness the creation of my first mystical weapon?"

Yuan Yanying, who was tending the spiritual herbs, heard this and quickly ran over: "Brother, is it true? Are you going to forge a mystical weapon?"

In these past days, Qin Yun had forged two royal grade spiritual artifacts and was very familiar with the process. He was prepared to advance and attempt forging a mystical weapon.

"Count me in too!" Feng Honglan was also full of anticipation, her stunning face lit up with a joyful smile.

"Focus on tending the herbs! Forging a mystical weapon is very tiring," Qin Yun laughed. "Baozi Sister is in the Spirit Martial realm; she’s enough!"

Zi Qingcheng originally planned to leave, but upon hearing that Qin Yun was going to forge a mystical weapon, she instantly agreed to stay.

Qin Yun, just twenty years old, was about to start forging a mystical weapon. Zi Qingcheng wanted to see if he could succeed.

After agreeing, Qin Yun and Zi Qingcheng entered a spacious secret chamber.

"If you succeed, brat, can I get a discount on future mystical weapons?" Zi Qingcheng asked coquettishly, exuding charm.

In a simple white dress, without much adornment, she radiated an innate sensuality. Her red lips lightly pursed, and her enchanting eyes subtly revealed a charm that was elegant yet not vulgar.

This was the first time Qin Yun had seen such a side of Zi Qingcheng!

He suddenly grasped how Baozi Sister had once caused such a stir!

"We’re close enough; no need to tempt me!" Qin Yun laughed heartily. "I’m not so easily seduced by you!"

Zi Qingcheng snorted lightly: "You’re something! Besides being the Purple Enchantress, I was also known as Qingcheng the Life-Taker!"

"A hero doesn’t boast about past glories... Channel your Spirit Martial realm power into these Xuanyuan Steels!" Qin Yun took out a pile of Xuanyuan Steels and said.

Zi Qingcheng, who was just feeling proud, immediately pouted like a servant and helped Qin Yun with various tasks.

Qin Yun took out the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron, filled it with beast oil, and then poured the infused Xuanyuan Steels into it.

He lit the beast oil and began to smelt the Xuanyuan Steels.

The beast oil contained special energy, and the burning flames could make the Xuanyuan Steels even more solid.

"Baozi Sister, don’t worry! If I can forge a mystical weapon, not only will I give you a discount, I’ll even give you one for free!" Qin Yun grinned. "Who told you to have such a pinchable little face!"

Zi Qingcheng was delighted, playfully sticking out her tongue at Qin Yun and asked: "What mystical weapon are you going to forge?"

"I was going to forge a sword, but I’m missing several materials. So I can only forge a special mystical weapon—the Mystic King Cannon!" Qin Yun chuckled. "This thing is incredible, perfect for ambushes!"

The Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron intensifies the flames, especially when beast oil is added, making the flames burn even more fiercely.

Once the beast oil inside was consumed, the chunks of Xuanyuan Steel glowed red.

Qin Yun took out the Xuanyuan Steel and placed it on the forging platform, using Dao Force to execute the Six Styles of Forging Dragons, hammering the Xuanyuan Steel with relentless intensity!

Zi Qingcheng watched in awe from the sidelines, because Qin Yun looked as though he was locked in a grueling battle, thrust into a fierce struggle.

Bang bang bang...

Qin Yun’s relentless Six Styles of Forging Dragons continued without pause, forging the chunks of Xuanyuan Steel into one solid piece, folding and reforging it until all impurities were purged.

"Baozi Sister, lend me your power!" Qin Yun hurriedly shouted: "I’m running on empty!"

"Alright!" Zi Qingcheng didn't expect that in just half an hour, Qin Yun would consume so much.

She understood; after all, Qin Yun was only at the second level of the Martial Path!

Typically, only Runes Masters at the Spirit Martial or Xuan Martial realms can forge mystical weapons.

That’s why Qin Yun needed Zi Qingcheng’s assistance.

As a Spirit Martial realm cultivator, Zi Qingcheng could channel her power to him, keeping him going.

Two days passed!

Exhausted, Qin Yun and Zi Qingcheng had to pause and rest.

"This is brutal! Xuanyuan Steel is a nightmare to forge!" Zi Qingcheng, recovering her own energy, marveled aloud.

"Absolutely! Don’t worry, we’ll pull this off!" Qin Yun smiled: "Honestly, I couldn’t do this alone!"

He didn’t ask Yuan Yanying and Feng Honglan for help because they wouldn’t have been much use.

"Baozi Sister, if Yue Xuan Valley asks me to set up formations again, I’ll have Grandma Du hand you over to me!" Qin Yun laughed: "I’m starting to see how useful you are!"

Zi Qingcheng snorted: "Little brat, now you see how great your sister is! You used to brush me off!"

After resting, Qin Yun refilled the cauldron with beast oil to burn the large chunk of Xuanyuan Steel...

After two weeks of forging, Qin Yun crafted a sleek black cannon barrel that rested perfectly on his shoulder.

Next came carving the mystical runes, an equally daunting task!

Fortunately, his comprehension of runes was extremely high, and with the help of the Spirit Pen, he could make progress relatively smoothly.

The only downside was that he couldn't carve continuously.

Carving mystical runes consumed a lot, and he also needed to borrow Zi Qingcheng's power.

And every once in a while, they had to rest, especially Zi Qingcheng, who often went out to bathe...

A month passed!

Qin Yun and Zi Qingcheng finally completed a mystical weapon together!

"Is this considered a success?" Zi Qingcheng looked at the Xuan King Cannon, somewhat disbelieving.

"Of course it's a success!" Qin Yun laughed: "Thanks, Baozi Sister! Let me pinch you!"

Zi Qingcheng held the Mystical Monarch Cannon, examining it carefully, and allowed Qin Yun to pinch her face.

She was also very happy now, as she had participated in the process of crafting the Mystical Weapon, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

"Baozi Sister, when you want to craft a Mystical Weapon, just prepare the blueprint and materials, and come find me. I'll help you craft it for free!" Qin Yun laughed.

"That's what you said, don't go back on your word and cheat me out of my Purple Crystal Coins later!" Zi Qingcheng also pinched Qin Yun's handsome face, giggling, "I must prepare the materials and blueprint as soon as possible!"

She did possess her own Mystical Weapon, though it was hardly effective.

Unless a Mystical Weapon was tailored to her, even a top-tier one would be difficult to fully harness.

Zi Qingcheng happily walked out of the room, and Grandma Du showed up, accompanied by Lan Fengjin.

Lan Fengjin sported a snug blue short-sleeved top that accentuated her striking upper body curves.

She paired it with ultra-short pants that showcased her long, toned legs, radiating a sexy, fiery, and wild allure, embodying untamed beauty.

"Where are Yuelan and Teacher Yang? Didn't they come?" Qin Yun asked.

"They're in the middle of cultivation and can't make it. Maybe next time!" Grandma Du laughed, "And what about my flag formation?"

Qin Yun glanced at Zi Qingcheng.

Grandma Du understood; the flag formation was with Zi Qingcheng.

"I've already shown her how to set it up! Feel free to go back and get it arranged!" Qin Yun smiled.

"Great, we'll head back and give it a shot immediately!" Grandma Du was very excited, eagerly pulling Zi Qingcheng out of the medicine garden.

Yuan Yanying and Feng Honglan eyed Lan Fengjin with curiosity.

Lan Fengjin towered over them, exuding a wild and fierce beauty.

While most women tend to appear delicate and soft, a woman like Lan Fengjin, blending fierceness, wildness, and a touch of charm, is a rare sight.

"Hong Lan, Yanying! Meet my disciple, Lan Fengjin! You can call her Sister Lan. From now on, she's also a disciple of our Nine Extremes Mystical Sect!" Qin Yun laughed.

Lan Fengjin greeted Yuan Yanying and Feng Honglan warmly. While she had heard of Feng Honglan, this was their first encounter.

As for Yuan Yanying, she didn't know her well.

Though Lan Fengjin had a tomboyish demeanor, she was inherently feminine and quickly hit it off with Yuan Yanying and Feng Honglan, sharing tales of Qin Yun's exploits in the borderlands.

After briefing Lan Fengjin and the others, Qin Yun rushed off to find Wei Zhongzheng.

He had earlier tasked Wei Zhongzheng with exchanging a hefty sum of Purple Crystal Coins at the Mystical Patterns Hall.

Wei Zhongzheng was aware that Qin Yun required the Purple Crystal Coins to energize the formation for his cultivation, rooting for his success.

Qin Yun secured a substantial amount of Purple Crystal Coins from Wei Zhongzheng and employed the Sun Gathering Mystical Formation in the secret chamber to harness the Nine Suns' power, refining his body.

His monthly cultivation expenses exceeded thirty million Purple Crystal Coins.

Wei Zhongzheng was limited to fetching ten million per trip, necessitating numerous Storage Spirit Artifacts for transport.

Qin Yun resolved to journey to the Cloud Dragon Mountain Range, trailing Zi Qingcheng and the others into that ancient secret realm, with roughly three to four months remaining!

He was uncertain whether he could achieve a breakthrough by then!

In just three months, Qin Yun had cultivated using the Sun Gathering Array, and a hundred million Purple Crystal Coins were completely exhausted!

"I’m close to a breakthrough!" Qin Yun was exhilarated, but he felt something was still missing; the three Martial Souls couldn’t achieve a uniform state.

"That’s right! I should take this opportunity to transform the Thunder Fire Martial Soul into a Black Martial Soul! Only by evolving all three Martial Souls together can balance be achieved! Maybe I’ll even gain three divine abilities!"

Qin Yun planned to borrow tens of millions of Purple Crystal Coins from Wei Zhongzheng to accomplish the final step!

Next, he intended to refine the many Martial Souls he had collected into the Thunder Fire Martial Soul, and then inscribe the Sky Lion totem into the Martial Soul!
