Chapter 0718 The Third Pearl

Jian Linglong noticed Qin Yun standing nearby but did not greet him, feeling somewhat nervous in Bingxing’s presence.

At that moment, she also had a vague sense that the relationship between Bingxing and Qin Yun was not simple.

She had known before that Qin Yun received special treatment from this Immortal, but now, with a woman’s keen intuition, she sensed something unusual.

Qin Yun escorted Jian Linglong out of the Immortal Armory Hall without saying much, only mentioning that he would visit her another day to discuss the Way of Odd Patterns.

After closing the door, Qin Yun quickly walked over to Bingxing and asked curiously, "Sister Bingxing, does Elder Linglong have a past life?"

"No!" Bingxing replied. "When you have time, bring all the women you know here. I’ll screen them one by one to see if any of them have past lives!"

"Uh… that won’t be necessary. Most of them have already met Yuelan and Sister Yang. If they had past lives, Yuelan would definitely know," Qin Yun said.

"Are there a lot of women around you?" Bingxing fixed him with a cold stare as she pressed the question.

"Well… um, they’re just good friends!" Qin Yun shrugged. "Honestly, I don’t know why I have such inevitable good luck with women—it’s unstoppable!"

"Some things never change!" Bingxing snorted. "In your past life in the Immortal Realm, you had many lovers. Whether you did anything with them, I wouldn’t know!"

Qin Yun paused briefly, then chuckled awkwardly. "Really? And then? Did those lovers ever fight among themselves?"

"No! Somehow, you must’ve had them all wrapped around your finger. They often obeyed your every command, like your subordinates!"

As Bingxing spoke of this, her expression gradually darkened. "I was one of them!"

Qin Yun did not know how to respond, because he did indeed have similar habits now—for example, he often wanted to enlist Shui Tianzi and Zi Qingcheng as aides.

He found it rather entertaining to have elegant beauties helping him with tasks.

"If the women from your past life have reincarnated, even if their memories are not awakened, they’ll still cross paths with you again in this life. So, in the future, bring all the women you know to me!"

"Yuelan and the others may have met them, but they might not recognize their origins! I know more about the women around you in your past life than Yuelan and the others do!"

Bingxing sternly warned Qin Yun.

Qin Yun nodded and said, "I’ll head out for a bit—I need to meet up with some friends."

"Fine. When you have time, come back for dual cultivation with me," Bingxing said.

Qin Yun hurriedly left the Immortal Armory Hall.

On the way, he felt puzzled and asked Ling Yuner, "Yuner, why is Bingxing acting so strange? She actually wants to meet every woman I know!"

"Two reasons. First, she genuinely wants to check if they’re reincarnations. Second—hehe—she wants to control these women so she can become the queen of your future harem!" Ling Yuner chuckled. "Bingxing is determined to stick with you!"

"That’s impossible! How could an exalted Immortal like her accept such a thing? I already have Yuelan as my wife!" Qin Yun retorted.

"But in your past life, you were a Celestial King! A Celestial King is the strongest beneath the Celestial Emperor. Back then, she might’ve been weaker than you!"

"Didn’t she just say that your Celestial King past self often ordered beautiful Immortal women around? If you were not capable, how could you have managed that?" Ling Yuner laughed. "Now that you’ve cultivated the Immortal-Demon Physique, you’ll only become stronger than your past life!"

Qin Yun suddenly felt a bit more at ease. He’d worried that Bingxing might target his female friends.

Now, with his lunar spirit manifestation, he also realized that the spiritual power he released had intensified!

This would enhance his combat prowess when manipulating objects in combat.

It was mainly due to the Primordial Soul Jade given to him by Huo Zhong that played a role.

Now, what he most looked forward to wasn’t experiencing the power of the ImmortalDemon Physique, but rather opening the third bead of the Nine Sun Divine Pearl.

As he hurried back, the Burial Celestial Diagram in his storage space began to stir, forcing him to fly back immediately.

Although Qin Yun still lived in the outer sect, everyone knew of his great contributions to the Immortal Armory City, so no one would reprimand him even if he flew around recklessly.

Once he returned to his room, he quickly took out the Burial Celestial Diagram.

"Grand Tutor Sister, I’ve cultivated the ImmortalDemon Physique!" Qin Yun said happily with a laugh.

"That’s wonderful!"

Xie Qirou on the other side let out a soft sigh of relief, clearly showing that she had also been worried about Qin Yun encountering any mishaps.

"Grand Tutor Sister, I told Sister Bingxing about you. She’s very concerned about you! Thankfully, I didn’t say too much, or she might have tried everything to reach that immortal tomb!" Qin Yun said.

"She and Yueji—your Sister Yang—were both saved by me. We can be considered sisters forged through adversity."

Xie Qirou sighed softly. "I truly wish I could talk with her too, but the current circumstances don’t allow it."

"There will definitely be a chance in the future!" Qin Yun laughed.

"Xiao Yun, was the process of cultivating the ImmortalDemon Physique very painful? The fact that you endured it doesn’t just mean you’ve gained the ImmortalDemon Physique—more importantly, it makes it much harder for you to fall into the demonic path!" Xie Qirou said.

Qin Yun recalled the process. Though fear lingered in his heart, he knew that if he faced such trials again, he wouldn’t collapse so easily.

"So much happened when I was a child, and I never knew!" Qin Yun thought of his mother, feeling deeply sorrowful. "I was the one who caused my mother’s death!"

"The one who caused her death should be me! If she hadn’t obtained the Burial Celestial Diagram, none of the later events would have happened. Fortunately, their souls still remain, so they can be revived!" Xie Qirou sighed.

"Let’s drop this subject!" Qin Yun didn’t want to dwell on such a heavy topic and asked instead, "Grand Tutor Sister, do I need to continue cultivating the CelestialDemonic Sacred Body Art in the future?"

"Of course! Otherwise, how will you cultivate a Sacred Physique later? The cultivation of the Immortal Body has many stages!" Xie Qirou chuckled. "Let Bingxing teach you!"

"Sister Bingxing... she’s icy, and she gives me weird vibes!" Qin Yun couldn’t quite put his finger on what was wrong with her.

"Xiao Yun, when you were cultivating the ImmortalDemon Physique, Bingxing must have been watching over you, right? She definitely helped you overcome the difficulties—otherwise, you wouldn’t have succeeded!" Xie Qirou said with a light laugh. "What went down between you two? Tell me quickly!"

Xie Qirou suddenly became very interested and urged Qin Yun to spill the details.

Qin Yun hesitated awkwardly but eventually told Xie Qirou everything, then anxiously added, "Grand Tutor Sister, please never mention this to Sister Bingxing in the future—she’d murder me!"

As Xie Qirou listened, she occasionally let out soft giggles, clearly finding the whole thing highly amusing.

"Xiao Yun, Bingxing is just settling old scores! You probably don’t know this, but in your past life, you were very distant with her—always just using her to do things... You might not believe it, but she used to be almost as naive as Little Meilian back then!"

"Now that she has the chance, of course she’d want to even the score!"

"She once complained to me that you never pampered her or showed her much affection, which made her very sad."

Xie Qirou’s words hit Qin Yun like a ton of bricks!

He could hardly believe that Bingxing had once been as innocent as Qi Meilian!

"Let’s not talk about this anymore. The fact that she can accept you again now is already very good!" Xie Qirou laughed.

"Grand Tutor Sister, your original name was Xian Qi Rou, right? You must have been quite famous in the Immortal Realm?" Qin Yun asked.

"Just call me Sister Qi Rou from now on! I am indeed quite famous in the Immortal Wilds, though mostly for my infamous reputation!"

"Before, you told me you caused quite a stir in the Spirit Wasteland and Wuhuang. Well, I was the same in the Immortal Wilds—constantly hunted down, with everyone eyeing the treasures on me!" Xie Qirou said.

Qin Yun felt that once he reached the Immortal Wilds, things were bound to get lively.

"Ta—Sister Qi Rou, you once asked me to join an immortal sect, saying you wanted me to forge an Immortal Body. Now that I’ve achieved the Immortal-Demon Physique, what’s next?" Qin Yun asked.

"You completed it much earlier than I expected—I truly didn’t foresee this! And you even obtained two Immortal Essences within you!" Just thinking about it left Xie Qirou stunned.

"By the way, Sister Qi Rou, I also acquired two Yang Spirits! One is a hammer, and the other is a duckling!" Qin Yun had forgotten to mention this to Xie Qirou earlier.

Upon hearing this, Xie Qirou went dead silent, because this was far too unexpected for her.

After all, even in the Sacred Wasteland or Divine Wasteland, Yang Spirits were treasures that would make even top experts lose their minds.

Yet Qin Yun possessed two!

"Keep this under wraps. If the Nine Sun Sect finds out, it’ll be trouble!" Xie Qirou warned. "Once you reach the Black Tortoise Realm, I’ll arrange other tasks for you."

"Mm!" Qin Yun nodded quickly.

"As for Bingxing, don’t blame her too much. She means you no harm now, and you came out ahead, didn’t you?" Xie Qirou chuckled. "Xiao Yun, you’re playing innocent after scoring big!"

Qin Yun pursed his lips and then asked, "Sister Qi Rou, why did you choose me and place all your hopes on me? Sister Bingxing is also very curious about this!"

"Because you’re outstanding! No more questions—hurry and attend to your own affairs!" With that, Xie Qirou went quiet.

"Xiao Yun, in your past life, you and Sister Qi Rou were totally an item!" Ling Yuner giggled.

"Cut the nonsense!" Qin Yun refused to believe such a thing.

Qin Yun put away the Burial Immortal Diagram and peeked at Yang Yang in the first bead of the Nine Sun Divine Pouch, swathed in flames—no telling when she’d wake up.

Mo Mo and the Little Jade Rabbit were still frolicking around nonstop. Now that there were two Immortal Essences inside, she could absorb the immortal energy and no longer had to worry about going hungry.

And now, Qin Yun could finally open the third bead of the Nine Sun Divine Pouch.

After his spirit transformed into the moon, his spiritual energy had skyrocketed.

In one burst, Qin Yun shattered the barrier of the third bead!

Suddenly, a cold woman’s voice rang in his head.

"You’re not Xiao Rou? Who are you?"

Qin Yun was stunned—there was actually someone inside the third bead! And she sounded fierce!

He also sensed some objects inside but couldn’t retrieve them, as if they were under the control of the speaker.
