Chapter 254

　　After Qin Yun woke up from his sleep, he came to the hall.

　　Lan Fengjin laughed, “I thought that the Heaven’s Pride Academy would be open for two years but it’s already over! It is a rare fate that brought us together.”

　　Xue Ziye said: “After I return, I’ll go to the Eastern Palace of Blue Spirit Star Palace! Qin Yun, when will you enter Blue Spirit Star Palace?”

　　“In another year or so! When the time comes, I will challenge Xiao Yanglong, enter the Blue Spirit West Palace and become the chief disciple.” Qin Yun smiled slightly. “Now, all of you should no longer doubt my strength!”

　　“Brother Yun, you’d better be careful. Xiao Yanglong is not that easy to deal with.” Murong Daren sternly warned Qin Yun.

　　Huo Zhong also nodded his head, “Xiao Yanglong’s strength is unfathomable. He has already entered the martial dao for a long time. He is definitely not simple!”

　　Lan Fengjin said, “Qin Yun, in short, do your best to raise your strength within a year! With your cultivation at the ninth level martial body, it will be very difficult for you to deal with Xiao Yanglong!”

　　“Unless… Unless Qin Yun steps into the Martial Dao Realm in one year!” Xue Ziye said.

　　Huo Zhong and the others were shocked!

　　If Qin Yun were to step into the martial dao realm one year later, he would be an eighteen years old martial dao realm cultivator!

　　“This… Is that possible?” Murong Daren looked at Qin Yun before turning to Lan Fengjin and asked, “Sister Lan, how difficult is it to advance from the ninth level Martial Body realm to the Martial Dao Realm?”

　　“It’s hard to say but there are many factors involved in this!” Lan Fengjin took a deep breath before sternly admonishing Qin Yun, “Qin Yun, don’t force yourself to break through. Many people encounter great problems during their breakthroughs due to being too anxious, resulting in them going berserk!”

　　Qin Yun nodded his head repeatedly. It was because of this that his father’s cultivation went berserk and he had nearly lost his life. Therefore, he paid special attention to this matter.

　　“Then I’ll take my leave. I’ll join the Blue Spirit Star Palace as soon as possible so I can increase my strength as fast as possible.” After bidding farewell to Qin Yun and company, Ziye walked out of the building and left the Star Xuan Wu Academy with her elders.

　　Lan Fengjin laughed, “I’m also in a hurry to go back and collect my mysterious technique. I’ll be leaving first!”

　　Huo Zhong and Murong will go back with Hou Xingfeng. Hou XingFeng was the vice principal of the Star Xuan Wu Academy, so he would be staying for a few days before his return.

　　“Oh right, I might be entering the Tian Xiao Imperial Tomb, are you interested in joining me? We had said before that we would go in together and have a look.” Qin Yun said.

　　The last time Xiao YueLan went to the dungeon to see him, she had said that Xiao Xuan Qin would come find him and discuss on entering the Tian Xiao Imperial Tomb.

　　Huo Zhong said, “I might not be going! If I go to the Tian Xiao Imperial Tomb, I don’t know how long I’ll be gone but I still have a lot of things to do in the Beast Martial Palace.”

　　Murong Daren smiled, “Brother Yun, if you go by yourself, we can be more at ease. You are so strong after all but you have to be careful.”

　　Qin Yun nodded. “I know. It depends on whether Boss Xie has the time or not. If he goes with me, that would be for the best.”

　　“Eldest Brother Xie is currently an important figure within the Saint Palace, so he’s very busy. It’s said that the Saint Palace’s Palace Master values him a lot and wants to take him in as his last disciple.” Huo Zhong said.

　　“That’s great then. When he becomes stronger, if we have any problems in the Blue Spirit Star Palace in the future, we can ask him for help.” Qin Yun said with a smile.

　　Murong Daren and Huo Zhong decided not to head to the Tian Xiao Imperial Tomb. They too felt that they were lacking in strength and were worried that they would implicate Qin Yun in the future.

　　This was because the Tian Xiao Mountains were located in the wild. Magical beasts roamed everywhere and if they encountered a group of powerful magical beasts, they wouldn’t be able to fight back.

　　Qin Yun treated them to a meal and led Murong Daren and Huo Zhong to drink. After a huge feast, they each returned to their own homes.

　　“Five hundred million Xuan Points, I don’t even know how to use them!” As Qin Yun walked back to the Treasure Forest, he thought about many things. He did not know whether he would be able to step into the Martial Dao Realm in a year.

　　Although he had three Vajra inner cores, there was still a certain difference when compared to Xiao YangLong who had stepped into the Martial Dao.

　　When he returned to the Treasure Forest, he suddenly felt traces of a familiar aura.

　　“Big Brother Yun!” A graceful silhouette descended lightly from the top of the tree. It was a girl wearing a white dress. She was as beautiful as a fairy descending to the mortal world.

　　“Little MeiLian!” Qin Yun shouted happily.

　　It had been a long time since he last saw Qi Meilian. Now that he saw her, she had changed tremendously. She was so beautiful, yet also so much taller. The only thing that hadn’t changed was that her eyes were still filled with innocence.

　　“Brother Yun, you’re so awesome, I also saw your fight in the Arena!” When she saw Qin Yun, she was extremely happy as well. Her face was filled with a sweet and happy smile.

　　To her, Qin Yun could be considered her only family.

　　“Those bad guys are too weak!” Qin Yun gently caressed that silky face and said with a smile.

　　He led her into a cave and made her sit down. Then he brought out some sweet fruit juice and gave it to her to drink.

　　Qin Yun looked at his younger sister who had grown up a lot. When he thought of her plight, he immediately felt a deep affection for her. He wanted to protect the innocent girl and prevent her from feeling wronged again.

　　“Brother Yun, under my teacher’s guidance, I broke through very quickly. Now, I’m also at the ninth level Martial Body realm.” Qi Meilian said happily while licking the juice off her lips.

　　Qin Yun could not help but touch her enchanting face. He said, “Little MeiLian is truly amazing. She’ll be even stronger than Brother Yun in the future. When the time comes, you’ll have to protect me.”

　　Qi Meilian nodded her head seriously, “I will definitely get stronger. I won’t let those bad guys bully my brother.”

　　She was younger than Qin Yun by a year or two but was currently at the ninth level martial body. This talent was even scarier than Xiao Yuelan’s. It was just that many people did not know this.

　　Qin Yun felt that if he had the chance, he needed to thank the teacher of Qi Meilian. He only knew that the teacher was an old granny. She was usually very fierce but she was very good to Meilian.

　　With the Immortal Graveyard Diagram in her possession, Qin Yun was not surprised that her cultivation had risen so quickly.

　　“Little MeiLian, it’s very dangerous outside. If you don’t have your teacher leading you, you’d better not go out on your own.” Qin Yun held Qi Meilan’s small hand and gave her a few Body Securing Talismans as he said, “These are Body Securing Talismans. They’re for you to defend yourself!”

　　Hearing that, Qi Meilan frowned worriedly and whispered, “Brother Yun, is this Body Securing Talisman difficult to make? I’ll leave it for you. You go out a lot and use it a lot.”

　　“It’s not difficult to forge, you keep it!” Qin Yun smiled as he felt a warmth in his heart.

　　Qi Meilian could only accept it. She knew that Qin Yun was doing so for her safety.

　　“Little Meilian, has your teacher recommended that you enter Blue Spirit Star Palace?” Qin Yun asked. He felt that if Qi Meilan wanted to go to Blue Spirit Star Palace, it would be more appropriate to go to the Eastern Palace.

　　“She didn’t mention it to me. She just told me not to tell anyone else about my current cultivation, so I could only tell you.” Qi Meilan smiled sweetly and said, “Teacher treats me so well, you don’t have to worry about me.”

　　“En!” Qin Yun could also tell that Qi Meilian was extremely happy as he nodded with relief.

　　Qin Yun brought Qi Meilian with him and flew to the top of the Starsun Treasure Tree. Sitting on a thick branch, he surveyed the Myriad Star Lake outside the academy.

　　The originally calm Myriad Star Lake was still flooded with waves, as it had been going on for many days.

　　After the news of the waves in the Myriad Star Lake spread out, many people were terrified. But after many days, the world was still peaceful and people gradually forgot about that.

　　“Brother, have you seen the Myriad Star Lake at night?” Suddenly, Qi Meilian said, “Master brought me out at night a few times. In the sky, I saw that the stars on the surface of the Myriad Star Lake were moving up and down and the starlight was very beautiful.”

　　Qin Yun shook his head and said with a smile, “No but since you said so, I must go take a look. When Little Mei Lian says something nice, it will definitely look good.”

　　Qi Meilan stuck out her tongue playfully and said with a chuckle, “Brother, Sister Yuelan came looking for me. She’s such a nice girl, she’s not as fierce as the rumors say. Don’t bully her in the future.”

　　“As long as she doesn’t bully me.” Qin Yun could not help but laugh as he said that.

　　Qi Meilian looked at the Myriad Star Lake and asked worriedly, “Brother, is the legend of the Myriad Star Lake true? What would happen to the heavens and earth if the nine suns disappeared? Is it because of this that we will fall into darkness?”

　　“I don’t know but when the time comes, I will definitely protect you! I will be your sun, forever illuminating your world.” Qin Yun smiled and pinched her cute face.

　　Qi Meilan’s beautiful eyes sparkled, she was extremely happy.

　　Qin Yun took her inside and played in the Treasure Forest for an entire day. In the evening, they watched the nine red suns slowly descend and disappear at the end of the Myriad Star Lake.

　　After playing with Qin Yun for an entire day, Qi Meilan was overjoyed. She left the Treasure Forest and went to find her teacher. She was going to undergo closed door cultivation again. It was unknown when she would come out.

　　Qin Yun was suddenly extremely curious about MeiLian’s teacher. He flew to Du Gui’s tree cave.

　　Du Gui was holding a pile of rocks in the hall. Those were the mental strength testing stones. Previously, Qin Yun had shattered a lot of them when he tested them.

　　“Teacher, who is little MeiLian’s teacher? Is she very mysterious?” Qin Yun asked, “I heard that she’s an old granny. What’s her background?”

　　“Her teacher is indeed mysterious. She was in the Martial Dao Realm only a few years ago when she entered the Star Xuan Wu Academy. Although she is a bit strict, she is still very good! You can rest assured. Little MeiLian should be safe in the Star Xuan Wu Academy.” Du Gui smiled and said, “Hurry up and help me make these stones, use the flames to burn them blue!”

　　The stones on the ground were all white and Du Gui was burning them one by one, very slowly.

　　Qin Yun took out the furnace and filled it with white rocks before setting it on fire.

　　“Is that okay with you?” Du Gui asked doubtfully.

　　“Of course!”

　　Moments later, Qin Yun opened the furnace and took out a very hot blue stone with his bare hands. He handed it over to Du Gui.

　　“If I had known earlier, I would have asked you to burn it. As expected of a beginner level Inscription Master, you’re really amazing!” Du Gui grinned and said happily, “This will keep me busy for more than ten days.”
