Chapter 384
When Qin Yun was refining the saber, in order to pass the examination smoothly, he did not go overboard. Instead, he went through the process relatively smoothly.
This way, he would be able to steadily refine a saber with a top grade spirit weapon. However, this kind of saber was destined to not have any outstanding aspects and would only appear ordinary.
If he wanted to forge a strong and unique spirit tool, he would need to use all sorts of extreme methods or perhaps be a bit more aggressive when refining it.
In this way, he would be able to refine a relatively formidable spirit weapon.
However, refining this kind of spirit weapon was also very easy to fail.
Only some Inscription Masters would suddenly be interested and go through all sorts of experiments before they could successfully refine them.
The saber that Qin Yun was refining was a ghost head blade. It weighed more than a thousand jin and the back of the blade was very thick. It was silvery-white in color and the blade shined brightly.
The inscriptions on the saber were high-grade fire and thunder spirit runes. They were very suitable for Qin Yun’s current usage.
“What a good top grade spirit weapon!” Mu Feng smiled as he held the blade. “It takes me over 40 hours to refine. This is too fast!”
Hong Mengshu had been watching from the side the entire time and now she felt that the Inscription Master was very powerful.
This was because even though she looked at it, she felt a little bored. On the other hand, the Inscription Master that refined Spirit tool was able to persist in such a boring matter for such a long time.
Qin Yun had passed the examination to become an Intermediate Spirit Inscription master!
He still had to continue with the exam but before that, he rested for a long time.
“The next step is to complete the array formation! It’s fine as long as you can create a top-grade Spirit Array but I suggest you create a top-grade Qi Gathering Array!” Mu Feng said with a smile.
Qin Yun nodded and took out a large piece of beast skin.
The beast skin had to be refined before spirit runes could be carved onto it. In this way, the spirit rune and the hide would become more compatible and the absorption of energy would become smoother.
Making a Spirit Array was the hardest part of the trial of the Inscription Master!
However, to Qin Yun, the difficulty was about the same as forging talismans. The only difference was that it would take a long time.
Qin Yun spent nearly three days to create the beast skin array before he finished creating the top-grade Qi Gathering Array!
Mu Feng placed the Energy Gathering Pearl in the middle of the array. Then, he activated the Qi Gathering Array.
“If it can fill up the Energy Gathering Pearl within an hour, then the top-grade Qi Gathering Formation that you have created would be qualified!” Mu Feng said with a smile.
Before an hour had even passed, the Energy Gathering Pearl had already been filled to the brim!
Hong Mengshu, who had watched the assessment for several days, also fiercely jumped up!
“Brother Yun, congratulations on becoming a High level Spirit Inscription Master!” Hong Mengshu giggled.
“I didn’t think that you’d really become a High level Spirit Inscription Master!” Mu Feng congratulated Qin Yun before forging a badge for him.
The emblem of a Spirit Inscriptionist was a platinum one and on the emblem of a high-level Spirit Inscriptionist there were three stars.
If he was an elementary level Spirit Inscription Master, there would only be one star on it.
Mu Feng was completely astonished by the spirit inscriptions Qin Yun had carved!
He truly did not understand. Qin Yun was so young, so how could he have such a good grasp over spirit runes? The precision of the inscriptions was very high!
One had to know that to reach the precision of a Inscription Master at sixth level, that was something that could only be achieved after hundreds and thousands of years of practice and comprehension.
As for Qin Yun, he was not even twenty years of age. Even if he had started learning the inscriptions while he was still in his mother’s womb, it would still not be as long as the time many Inscription Masters had taken to learn it.
Mu Feng believed that it was Qin Yun’s innate talent!
Qin Yun was secretly delighted when he obtained the badge.
It had been a few days since he left the Nine Extinction Gate. Not only had he found Purple Frost Mysterious Grass, he had also completed the test to become a High Rank Spirit Inscription Master. This had given him a great harvest.
Furthermore, he had made friends with Hong Mengshu and Mu Feng.
At night, Mu Feng treated Qin Yun and Hong Mengshu to a meal.
“I will return to the Nine Extinction Profound Gate tonight!” After Qin Yun finished eating, he wiped his mouth and said with a smile, “Sect Master is waiting for my return with medicine. I have to return quickly!”
“Let’s send you out of the city! This way, it will be safer!” Mu Feng said with a smile.
Qin Yun nodded.
At night, Mu Feng and Hong Mengshu sent Qin Yun out of the Xuan Jade City.
They did not simply send Qin Yun out of the city. They even sent him off for a long distance. After ensuring that no one was following him, they bid him farewell.
At night, Qin Yun used his Shadow Power to conceal himself in the darkness as he headed for the Nine Extinction Gate.
On the way back, there wasn’t a transmission array like the one he left with, so they could only enter the desert.
He had to be extremely careful by himself. It took him more than ten days to return to the Nine Extinction Gate.
“Xiao Yun, you came back so quickly!” The person who came out to fetch Qin Yun was the Second Elder. He was plump and quick. When he sensed the message from Qin Yun’s jade token, he hurriedly ran out.
It had been more than a month since Qin Yun left and most of his time was wasted on the road.
“Second Elder, how is the Sect Leader?” Qin Yun asked hurriedly. He was extremely worried that Wei Zhongzheng would be unable to recover.
“His injuries have stabilized. If you can find the Purple Frost Mysterious Grass, then with Sect Leader’s strength, he will be able to quickly recover!” The Second Elder sighed, “The Purple Frost Mysterious Grass is not easy to get. Don’t be discouraged. First come back to rest, then go out to search!”
Qin Yun said with a smile, “Second Elder, I’ve found it!”
He took out a jade box and passed it to the Second Elder.
Second Elder opened it and was pleasantly surprised.
“I’m going to find Yanying. Please give the Purple Frost Mysterious Grass to the Sect Leader to use!” Qin Yun said with a smile.
“Good, good, good! That little girl has been worrying about you for the past few days!” The Second Elder chuckled and rushed to the house where Wei Zhongzheng was.
Qin Yun headed to the herb field.
Yuan Yanying was currently controlling the water gathering array, gathering the spirit liquid formed by the nine suns’ spirit energy and gathering it in one large barrel after another.
Because she often had to work, her attire was very casual. Her hair was tied up in a simple ponytail that fell to her chest and she wore a set of simple green clothes. At this moment, she was holding a ladle and pouring water over those green and verdant elixirs.
“Yanying!” Qin Yun saw Yuan Yanying from afar and shouted loudly.
“Big Brother Yun!” Yuan Yanying immediately put down the ladle and gently moved towards Qin Yun like a lively and joyous bird.
As soon as Yuan Yanying came over, she quickly asked, “You have been gone for a long time, are you injured? Were you chased by the people from the Sword Profound Mountain?”
Qin Yun scratched her beautiful nose and said with a smile, “I’m fine. I managed to purchase Purple Frost Mysterious Grass!”
“Really? Great! Sect Leader will recover soon and at that time, we will not have to be so worried!” Yuan Yanying was very happy.
“Yanying, I’ll help you water the spiritual medicine!” Qin Yun chuckled.
“No, you just came back, so you must be tired. Rest well. I can take care of such a small matter myself!” Yuan Yanying pushed Qin Yun into the ancient bronze building.
Qin Yun was indeed tired from the journey. When he came to his room, he realized that Yuan Yanying had cleaned it up. He also knew that she would come in every day to clean up the dust and so on.
This made his heart warm, giving him a feeling of homesickness!
After Qin Yun woke up, it was already the second day. Yuan Yanying was able to bring him around the Nine Extinction Profound Gate so he could get familiar with the disciples here.
In the past few days, many disciples knew of Qin Yun’s situation and were filled with admiration for him. They were also delighted that the Nine Extinction Gate had received such an outstanding disciple.
Jiang Zhihu’s injury had also healed a long time ago. Because he was a helpful and straightforward person, he had made many friends here.
After familiarizing himself with the disciples of the Nine Extinction Profound Gate, Qin Yun realized that the disciples here were relatively simple and had no ulterior motives. Clearly, they were all carefully chosen by Wei Zhongzheng and his men.
They were all disciples with good personalities!
Normally, in front of Qin Yun, Yuan Yanying would appear to be more delicate, like a sister next door.
However, in front of the other disciples, she was a very dignified big sister!
The day that Qin Yun conversed with the inner sect disciples was also very happy. There were not many sects with such harmony.
At night, Yuan Yanying and Qin Yun returned to the medicinal field.
Yuan Yanying still had things to do, which was watering the medicinal field. She would have to water it once in the morning, once in the evening.
Plants needed to absorb a large amount of spirit water in order to grow quickly.
It was just that at night, the quality of the spirit liquid gathered by the water gathering array was slightly low and the speed was very slow.
“Brother, you should go rest! This is my job, you better not get involved!” She also knew that Qin Yun could easily complete it with his help.
She wanted to be an independent, strong woman. She did not want Qin Yun to help her!
“Fine, I won’t interfere. I can just watch from the side, right?” Qin Yun smiled and took out a Nine Yang Spirit Convergence Array. He handed it to Yuan Yanying. “Yanying, open up this hide and place a water gathering array on it. The water gathering will be faster!”
Yuan Yanying pouted and said, “You are still helping me!”
Even though she said this, her heart was warm.
“Using such a stupid method to irrigate the medicinal field is a waste of time and energy and has no efficiency at all!” Qin Yun said with a smile.
“Then what do you think? It was always like this before I came. It’s said that the other sects have the same method!” Yuan Yanying sighed and said, “Although it’s a little complicated but I like this kind of work, especially seeing the spiritual medicines grow. I’m very happy!”
Qin Yun said, “I can forge a large array of flags that can absorb the nine suns’ spiritual energy and turn it into water. After that, it can rain down on us!”
“Is this true? It’s amazing!” Yuan Yanying said in surprise but also in disbelief.
“You’ll know when I finish refining it!” Qin Yun said with a smile, “I’ll go right now!”
In a sect, the Inscription Master also needed to be in charge of creating a formation that could help in the development of the sect.
However, this type of formation wasn’t easy to make. On one hand, one had to have profound attainments in formations and on the other hand, one needed to master a good number of spirit inscriptions. The accuracy of the spirit inscriptions needed to be very high.
Qin Yun had long wanted to attempt refining a flag array but now, he finally had a chance.
He estimated the size of the entire medicine garden and calculated how many array flags he would need before starting to create them.
The flag array that he created could not only gather the Nine Yang Spirit Liquid but it could also store energy for the maintenance of the array!
This way, it would only require a small amount of purple crystal coins to maintain the array.
The flag array that he had come up with was something that many Inscription Masters of the sects yearned for in their dreams!
