Chapter 0633 Born with a Strange Pattern Soul

Chapter 0633: Innate Spirit Pattern

Qin Yun had originally planned to have Bingxing leave the Immortal Armory Palace to help him with some tasks.

"Sister Bingxing, why can't you leave the Immortal Armory Palace?"

Bingxing replied, "I am an immortal. It took me great effort to enter this Immortal Armory Palace. Once I leave, without the palace's protection, I will slowly be pulled into the Immortal Wasteland!"

"So the legend that the Immortal Armory Palace once gathered a group of immortal soldiers is true!" Qin Yun exclaimed in amazement.

"Yes, so don’t think about having me go out and kill for you. Moreover, I won’t let the palace’s sect leader help you kill either. Your personal vendettas are your own business!" Bingxing said firmly.

"I want to sleep on that Sun Moon Celestial Bed, but since I can’t release celestial power, I probably can’t use it, right?" Qin Yun asked.

"Your Nine Cycles Celestial Power (a special type of immortal energy) is quite special. The Sun Moon Celestial Bed requires normal celestial power to function," Bingxing nodded. "If you want to use it, I can help you—once a month, for one day."

"Only one day?" Qin Yun felt it was too little.

"With your current cultivation, you can only endure one day. Any longer and problems will arise. The Sun Moon Celestial Bed is extremely unique!" Bingxing said. "You’ll understand once you try it."

"Fine, one day it is!" Qin Yun thought even that was quite good.

"One day of sleep there will feel like a year to your spirit. You can comprehend techniques, practice mystic patterns or martial skills in the illusory realm—it grants you an immense amount of time!" Bingxing explained.

Qin Yun was thoroughly intrigued and eager to try it immediately.

"Sister Bingxing, I still have some business in Zhilong City, so I'll head out for now. We'll continue this when I'm back."

Qin Yun remembered his plans regarding Zhilong City. He needed to seek revenge and make Long Zhigui understand the dire consequences of stealing his Dao Artifact.

"Alright, here—this will let you enter the Celestial Armory Hall." Bingxing handed Qin Yun a jade token before leaving the room.

Qin Yun took the token, studied it with a grin, and then pocketed it.

"What a pity. Bingxing doesn’t trust you yet. Otherwise, if she practiced the Sun Moon Heart Sutra (a cultivation method) with you in dual cultivation, you'd improve by leaps and bounds," Ling Yuner said regretfully.

"She’ll trust me eventually!" Qin Yun said with unwavering confidence.

"Earlier, I sensed a hint of jealousy from her," Ling Yuner teased with a laugh. "This woman might actually like you a little!"

"That’s just because my charm is irresistible—even this celestial beauty can’t resist me." Qin Yun laughed cockily.

"Let’s get going!" Ling Yuner urged.

Qin Yun left the Immortal Armory Palace and headed to Mu Fengxiao’s Eastern Mystic Pattern Hall.

Wu Mingxu had been away at the Medicine Immortal Valley for some time now, yet there was still no news, which worried both Qin Yun and Mu Fengxiao.

Qin Yun had thought Wu Mingxu might have returned and was at the Eastern Mystic Pattern Hall.

"Senior Wu will be fine. His strength is nothing to underestimate!" Mu Fengxiao patted Qin Yun’s shoulder reassuringly.

"Fatty Mu, have you gathered any news?" Qin Yun asked.

"The Long Family, Tian Family, and Yang Family have banded together to target you! The Medicine Immortal Valley and Canghuo Immortal Mountain are also preparing to declare war against Celestial Armory City," Mu Fengxiao said. "That’s all the news I have."

"What about Demonmoon Island? They’re responsible for issuing bounties, so they must be under threat too, right?" Qin Yun asked.

"Those major forces don’t seem interested in targeting Demonmoon Island, especially the great clans. They wouldn’t dare cross them," Mu Fengxiao shook his head. "You see, behind Demonmoon Island lies the Demon Immortal Cave Heaven, where most inhabitants are beings who transformed from demons and beasts!"

The Demon Immortal Grotto-Heaven rarely got involved in conflicts, but if someone dared provoke them, the consequences were severe.

"The Demon Immortal Grotto-Heaven is truly formidable!" Qin Yun exclaimed.

"Absolutely! You should know that many powerful beasts, after transforming into humans, are taken in by the Grotto-Heaven," Mu Fengxiao said with a smile.

Qin Yun nodded and said, "Brother Mu, I plan to stay here for a while. I need to craft some things and will need a large amount of materials from you."

"What materials do you need?" Mu Fengxiao quickly frowned. "Are you planning something big?"

"Profound Steel and hides from Profound-tier beasts," Qin Yun replied.

"Since we're such good friends, I'll definitely give you a good price," Mu Fengxiao chuckled. "By the way, when we trade, let's use off-the-books Purple Crystal Cards. That way, we won't have to pay taxes, and it'll be cheaper."

"Deal!" Qin Yun grinned.

Mu Fengxiao promptly took out over 100,000 catties of Profound Steel, packed in a specially made storage bag, and handed it to Qin Yun. "Originally, it would cost 150 million, but I'll charge you just 100 million."

"Fine!" A hundred million Purple Crystal Coins was pocket change for Qin Yun.

Later, Mu Fengxiao also sold 50 million Purple Crystal Coins' worth of beast hides to Qin Yun.

After obtaining these materials, Qin Yun hurried into a secret chamber to begin forging weapons and inscribing runes.

"I need to forge five new throwing knives!" He pulled out a bunch of Profound-tier spirit cores as well as Celestial Beast bones.

Using Celestial Beast bones for forging yielded excellent results, making Profound-tier gear way tougher and allowing energy to flow smoothly.

Celestial Beast bones excelled at absorbing and storing energy.

Qin Yun worked alone in the chamber, hammering materials with loud clangs, very busy.

With the Heavenly Lion Subduing Dragon Cauldron and a large amount of beast oil, he could speed up the smelting process.

"This won't do. It'll take forever to finish everything I need!" Qin Yun was gearing up to raid a small town and needed to be fully equipped.

"I'll get Jingmeng—that kid's help!" After a moment's thought, Qin Yun asked Mu Fengxiao to find the bald elder and have him bring Liu Jingmeng over.

The bald elder was Jingmeng's grandpa. If he wanted her for something, Granny Ma couldn't refuse.

Moreover, the bald elder was very courteous to Qin Yun, so when he learned Qin Yun wanted Jingmeng’s help forging weapons and inscribing runes, he said yes right away. He hoped Jingmeng would stick around and learn from Qin Yun.

After a few hours, Jingmeng arrived.

The secret chamber Mu Fengxiao arranged for Qin Yun was already quite spacious, so having one more person inside didn't make it feel crowded.

The chamber was a mess—piled with materials, furnaces, anvils, and tools.

Jingmeng wore a light blue dress, looking cute and cheerful. As soon as she saw Qin Yun, she smiled sweetly and called out in a soft, melodious voice, "Brother Yun!"

"Jingmeng, did Granny Ma say when you need to go back?" Qin Yun was also happy to see her.

After bringing Jingmeng over, Mu Fengxiao left, as he had many other matters to attend to.

Jingmeng shook her head and smiled. "Granny Ma told me to help Grandpa with forging and rune work."

Qin Yun grinned and gave her cheek a playful pinch. "Jingmeng, can you help me craft some Mystic Rune scrolls and Profound-tier weapon bases?"

"Sure! Grandpa told me to learn from you, Brother Yun!" Jingmeng nodded eagerly, thrilled to help.

Qin Yun quickly assigned some tasks to Liu Jingmeng, asking her to refine Celestial Beast bones and Mystic-Origin Steel into Mystic Rune paper or Mystic Artifact blanks.

Among the weapons in the Celestial Armory Realm, he considered the throwing knife talismans most effective!

Thus, these became his primary focus for crafting.

Back in the Celestial Armory Realm, the materials Qin Yun used for forging were of poor quality.

But now, with high-grade materials, the power of his creations would undoubtedly be far greater.

In addition, he crafted three cannonballs specifically for the Mystic King Cannon. These cannonballs were forged using Dao Pills (cultivation pills) of a Martial Lord from the Black Tortoise Realm as their foundation.

Qin Yun carved Mystic Patterns and fire totem patterns onto the Dao Pills, making them more powerful.

He also infused them with a large amount of beast oil, so they'd unleash a massive burst of flames upon impact.

"Jingmeng, I’ll teach you the fire totem patterns, but you must keep it a secret for now. Don’t tell Granny Ma or your grandfather, okay?"

Qin Yun spoke softly, feeling that Liu Jingmeng deserved some reward for her diligent and hard work.

After all, he might need her help again in the future.

Liu Jingmeng nodded eagerly. "I’ll definitely keep it a secret! I love carving totems, but Grandpa and Granny Ma don't know any powerful totems!"

Qin Yun handed her a piece of beastskin and smiled. "Jingmeng, your Brother Yun has mastered many totems!"

"I’ll study them carefully!" Liu Jingmeng was overjoyed, her big eyes fixed unblinkingly on the totem patterns on the beastskin.

Suddenly, Ling Yuner telepathically told Qin Yun, "Xiao Yun, this little girl Jingmeng might have a natural Rune Soul… Perhaps it’s just too weak, which is why I didn’t sense it earlier!"

"A natural Rune Soul? Is that extraordinary?" Qin Yun was astonished.

"Yes, extremely so! Such Rune Souls are incredibly rare. She's one lucky girl," Ling Yuner said. "You can let Mo Mo come out and take a look. She’s very sensitive to Rune Souls!"

Mo Mo, the grand priestess of the magic sprites, could sense totems as well as Rune Souls.

After Qin Yun explained the situation to her, she agreed to come out.

The moment Mo Mo appeared, she took an instant liking to Liu Jingmeng and darted over to her.

Liu Jingmeng, engrossed in the totem patterns on the beastskin, hadn’t noticed the adorable little Mo Mo at first.

Flapping her wings, Mo Mo flew to Liu Jingmeng’s side and said softly, "Hello, big sister!"

"Is this a little sprite? So pretty, so cute!"

Liu Jingmeng was instantly charmed, gently cupping her hands to hold Mo Mo. She looked at Qin Yun in surprise and asked, "Brother Yun, does this little sprite belong to you?"

"Yes, her name is Mo Mo," Qin Yun replied with a smile.

"Hello, Mo Mo! I’m Liu Jingmeng!" Liu Jingmeng gently extended a finger to stroke Mo Mo’s beautiful blue hair.

"Big sister, you’re very pretty and cute too!" Mo Mo chuckled.

"Will you be my good friend?" Liu Jingmeng asked, her big eyes shining hopefully.

"Of course!" Mo Mo replied cheerfully.
