Chapter 0632 Totem Carved Soul

Chapter 0632: Totem Soul Carving

Qin Yun had the Dragon Totem, which he inherited from his father, Qin Long.

He could also carve the Dragon Totem onto his own martial soul, but mastering the totem martial arts was no easy task.

Only when the Dragon Totem naturally fused with the martial soul could one more easily learn the totem martial arts.

"Qiaofeng, do you have dragon blood?" Qin Yun asked.

"Yes!" Long Qiaofeng nodded. "I'm from the Long family, and I have a dragon martial soul. My dragon blood is innate!"

"Qiaofeng, earlier when you fought Long Kuangxing, he used a powerful martial art that seemed closely related to dragons. Was it totem martial arts?" Qin Yun asked again.

"No, that was the Heavenly Dragon Art, a top-tier heavenly technique of our Long family!"

As Long Qiaofeng spoke, she looked frustrated and resentful. "I'm clearly outstanding, yet they refuse to pass it on to me! Because the clan has a rule—these powerful techniques are only for men!"

"Qiaofeng, in your family, how many have the Dragon Totem, a pure dragon martial soul, and dragon blood?" Qin Yun asked seriously.

Long Qiaofeng thought carefully and shook her head. "Very few. From what I remember, there might never have been any! Many Long family disciples have hybrid dragon martial souls, like Long Kuangxing."

"Especially those born with the Dragon Totem—though some existed, they didn’t live long before dying." Long Qiaofeng frowned. "In our family history, all who had the Dragon Totem died young!"

"Why?" Qin Yun found this strange.

"Because they were too reckless, causing trouble everywhere and getting themselves killed... or maybe captured by the Totem Pavilion of the Demon Wasteland." Long Qiaofeng said with a laugh.

"Qiaofeng, I have the Dragon Totem and can carve it into your martial soul. But you must promise—if you master the totem martial arts, you must find a way to teach me!" Qin Yun said earnestly.

Long Qiaofeng froze, looking at him in disbelief.

"If possible, let's start now!" Qin Yun pulled out the Spirit Rhyme Profound Pen. "I need your totem martial arts!"

Seeing Qin Yun’s seriousness, Long Qiaofeng was completely stunned, but quickly calmed down and nodded.

"Alright, I promise you!" Long Qiaofeng sighed. "I’ll try my hardest to master the totem martial arts!"

Qin Yun held the Spirit Rhyme Profound Pen and said, "Lie flat on the bed and relax your whole body."

Long Qiaofeng lay on Qin Yun’s bed and followed his instructions. She trusted him completely now.

Qin Yun pulled up her shirt, revealing her well-toned stomach.

He gently pressed on Long Qiaofeng’s pale, smooth stomach and said, "I’m starting now. Try to relax as much as possible."

"Mm! I’ll cooperate with you!" Long Qiaofeng nodded.

Using the beast-king spirit pattern soul within the Spirit Rhyme Profound Pen, Qin Yun naturally gathered strange energy and began carving the totem.

He applied techniques from soul refinement, which were very different from those used in artifact forging or talisman crafting.

Carving spirit patterns and totems onto a martial soul required perfect precision, or success would be impossible.

First, the carving had to be fine enough—only then could the totem and martial soul fit together perfectly.

Second, the user had to control their energy precisely to ensure the totem patterns were stably carved into the martial soul.

Qin Yun mastered both skills. Earlier, he had successfully carved the Sky Lion totem patterns into his Thunderfire Soul.

"Probably two or three days!" Qin Yun said with a frown.

"Not too long then!" Long Qiaofeng asked curiously, "Qin Yun, you seem very skilled—she added—you wouldn't happen to be a soul refiner too?"

"You could say that!" Qin Yun chuckled.

"It seems you have a strong martial soul!" Long Qiaofeng remarked, secretly amazed.

She had originally only intended to let Qin Yun try his hand at carving mystical patterns or the Dragon Totem into her dragon-type martial soul to make her stronger.

She had no idea Qin Yun had already mastered this technique.

Three days flew by, and the carving of the Dragon Totem on Long Qiaofeng's martial soul was almost done.

Just then, the door to his room swung open!

The person who entered wore a black robe and a white mask—it was Bingxing!

Though her mask had no eye holes, it was specially made so she could still see clearly through it.

She saw Long Qiaofeng lying on Qin Yun's bed, her clothes lifted to reveal her stomach, while Qin Yun held a short brush in one hand and pressed the other against her abdomen, apparently drawing something.

Qin Yun never thought Bingxing would barge in like that.

Mainly because Bingxing was excited—the pill Qin Yun had given her worked like a charm, so she hurried to see him.

"Qiaofeng, relax!" Qin Yun quickly called out.

Bingxing had assumed Qin Yun and Long Qiaofeng were enemies, but now seeing how familiar they were, she started putting two and two together.

Long Qiaofeng had encountered the Black-Clad Corps before and knew the white-masked figure was their leader.

"Close the door!" Qin Yun whispered to Bingxing.

Bingxing shut the door and came closer to the bed.

Long Qiaofeng relaxed a bit more and continued to lie still. She had thought Qin Yun and the masked leader had a serious beef.

Who knew the leader would come looking for Qin Yun?

After all, in the Immortal Soldier Illusionary Realm, the masked leader had killed Qin Yun so many times that he was too scared to roam around freely anymore.

That led most people to believe there was some unfixable bad blood between them.

Turns out that wasn't true.

"What are you two doing? Soul carving?" Bingxing asked in surprise, not expecting Qin Yun to know how to do that.

"Yeah," Qin Yun replied.

"Then I won't disturb you. I'll come back another time!" Bingxing said as she left.

Qin Yun understood why Bingxing had rushed in so suddenly—she got a taste of the good stuff and wanted more.

After Bingxing left, Long Qiaofeng said, surprised, "Qin Yun, you and that leader seem to have a decent relationship!"

"It's alright," Qin Yun laughed. "After so many battles, we got to know each other through all those fights."

Long Qiaofeng closed her eyes, feeling the Dragon Totem carved by Qin Yun.

"Nearly finished!" Qin Yun said. He hadn't slept a wink in three days and nights.

He never expected that carving a totem for another's martial soul would be so exhausting.

Before, when he carved the Sky Lion totem pattern for his own martial soul, he wasn't even at the Spirit Martial Realm yet, but it wasn't nearly as taxing.

Now, at the early stage of the Spirit Martial Realm, his mental energy had improved, yet carving the Dragon Totem for someone else felt like it had sapped half his vitality.

Fortunately, he had the Beast King's Mystic Pattern Soul—otherwise, he wouldn’t know how long it would have taken to finish.

"Done!" Qin Yun finally completed it, letting out a long breath as he collapsed to the floor.

"You've worked hard!"

As soon as Long Qiaofeng spoke, she felt her body suddenly filled with an overwhelming surge of energy, causing her slender body to radiate waves of energy.

She quickly got up from the bed, lifted Qin Yun from the floor, and laid him down to rest.

Then, she sat by the bed, adapting to the abrupt power surge.

Qin Yun had already fallen asleep.

Long Qiaofeng looked at him, a sense of reverence and awe welling in her. She now understood why Qin Yun was so formidable.

Qin Yun slept for an entire day before waking up. He saw Long Qiaofeng sitting there, apparently deep in contemplation of the mysteries of the totem pattern.

"With the Dragon Totem pattern, my strength has improved significantly. Even warriors like Hua Xiyue and Tian Yaolei wouldn't stand a chance against me now!"

Long Qiaofeng sensed Qin Yun waking up and immediately stood, saying,

"You can go fight Jian Ruyan!" Qin Yun chuckled. "That she-devil's strongest asset in the Immortal Arms Illusory Realm is her mental energy. Just be careful, and you might actually defeat her!"

A spark of excitement flared in Long Qiaofeng's heart as she smirked coldly. "Good, I'll go find her right now! Jian Ruyan has always sneered at me and mocked me!"

"Qiaofeng, your weakness is you can't handle hardship. Sometimes, if you want to grow stronger, you have to suffer a little. When you fight Jian Ruyan, don’t fear pain. Keep at it, and you’ll beat her eventually!" Qin Yun stretched with a yawn and said, "I’m planning to go to Zhilong City."

"Should I come with you?" Long Qiaofeng asked.

"No need, I prefer acting alone!" Qin Yun grinned. "Hurry into the Immortal Arms Illusory Realm quick and put Jian Ruyan in her place—knock her down a peg!"

Long Qiaofeng was eager to challenge Jian Ruyan and quickly left Qin Yun's room.

The moment she left, Bingxing entered.

"Bingxing, have you been waiting outside this whole time?" Qin Yun teased with a grin.

"What kind of strange pattern did you carve for her?" Bingxing removed her mask, revealing a beautiful yet cold face that made her seem like an aloof immortal.

"Dragon Totem pattern!" Qin Yun replied. "She has a Dragon Martial Soul and dragon bloodline—the Dragon Totem pattern was the last piece she needed. If nothing goes wrong, she might even develop a Dragon Profound Body!"

Bingxing snorted. "Who knew you'd actually treat a woman decently in this life? Not only did you not swindle her, but you even helped her. And you didn’t take advantage of her body either!"

"I’ve heard you’re quite close with many lovely ladies!"

Qin Yun’s pulse jumped—Bingxing’s words carried a hint of vinegar, almost like jealousy.

"Bingxing, I admit my methods can be shady sometimes, but if someone treats me well, I’ll treat them well too! Long Qiaofeng has helped me before—we're business partners!"

"And what about Tian Ruoruan and Yue Wulan?" Bingxing pressed.

"They're my first and second sisters, and we've shared many hardships together—they're definitely trustworthy!" Qin Yun laughed. "Bingxing, to be honest, there are plenty of beauties I'm close with!"

"Hmph!" Bingxing gave a conflicted huff.

"How did the pill work for you?" Qin Yun asked.

"Very well! If I could have one every month, it would be a great help." Bingxing said. "But I won’t take it for free—name your terms, as long as it’s something I can do."

"Oh, right—I can't leave this Divine Weapon Palace, so asking me to do anything outside is impossible!"
