The gazes...felt like they were staring at a debtee who had refused to pay back their money. It made Qi Yunxiao feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Young Master, what do we do?”

The servant who had been following Qi Yunxiao asked in a low voice.

“What else can I do?! First take that guy away!”

Qi Yunxiao pointed irritably at Hu Debiao on the ground. Lin Xun had left but he didn't have the guts to leave.

The servant let out a sigh of relief. “I’m glad to hear that. It’s better to deal with the Black Python Gang than to watch Lin Xun come to our door and bully our people.”

Qi Yunxiao felt extremely uncomfortable, but he had to admit that a Black Python Gang was indeed not as much of a threat as Lin Xun was to them.

Qi Yunxiao signaled with his hand as he said, “Bring the unconscious woman with us. When she wakes up, escort her home.”

The attendant nodded. Carrying Hu Debiao in one arm and the unconscious woman in the other, he was about to leave with Qi Yunxiao.

At that moment, someone yelled out, “Young Master Qi, do you know when Jadelight Pavilion will take action against the Black Python Gang?”

Qi Yunxiao said coldly, “If the Black Python Gang survives past tonight, I, Qi Yunxiao, will kill myself in apology!”

After that, he left with his attendant.

Cheers erupted from the crowd behind him. Everyone was praising Qi Yunxiao for his courage. He is indeed worthy of being the young master of Jadelight Pavilion.

Qi Yunxiao’s expression morphed indefinitely upon hearing the praises. He sometimes gnashed his teeth, sometimes he frowned and sometimes his expression turned strange.

After a long moment, he asked, “Say, are they really praising me sincerely?”

The attendant was taken aback by the question. Then, he nodded. “Of course, Young Master. You are going to help them get rid of an evil force, how would they not be grateful?”

Qi Yunxiao’s face softened and he said thoughtfully, “I didn’t expect it to actually feel good to help other people…”

The attendant was at a loss for words.

Qi Yunxiao’s anger seemed to have faded as he said proudly, “Since I promised them, after tonight, the Black Python Gang…”

The attendant immediately understood his meaning. “Young Master, rest assured. Leave it to me. I guarantee that the mission will be completed tonight!”

Qi Yunxiao smiled in satisfaction as though he had forgotten about the indignation that Lin Xun made him suffer…

The attendant knew that his young master was still very immature compared to Lin Xun. He wasn’t lacking in intelligence or talent but he lacked experience.

However, that was normal because his young master was only fourteen years old, the age when one’s temperament was most unpredictable.

……

……

When Lin Xun returned home, he was surprised to see Chu Feng waiting for him with all the rune materials he required to forge a blade.

Chu Feng beamed when he saw Lin Xun. They briefly chatted before Chu Feng said goodbye and left.

“That guy is quite amazing,” remarked Xue Jin who was drinking alone in a corner.

Lin Xun smiled. “There are many smart people in the world, but only a few are like Chu Feng: smart and generous.”

Xue Jin chuckled. “The more he is like this, the more he wants.”

Lin Xun nodded, turned around, and walked into the room.

Chu Feng had brought over all sorts of rune materials. Some were for making the blade and some were for refining rune ink.

In the past, Lin Xun only needed to purchase rune ink and ordinary weapons to make aeth tools as all he had to do was engrave runes on the ordinary weapons. But it was different this time because he wanted to customize a blade for himself, which meant that he had to prepare the rune inks and blade materials by himself.

Most importantly, the blade he wanted to make was different from the various standard blades sold on the market!

In other words, he intended to design a brand-new battle aeth tool for himself.

This was no doubt an extremely challenging task. Many rune masters in the world could make aeth tools but only very few could utilize their knowledge in the art of runes to design a custom aeth tool.

It was the same as creating a brand new tool—It was full of unknowns and he had no examples to follow. He had to explore and try everything himself, which consequently increased the risk of failure.

Generally speaking, only people at the rune grandmaster level would have that kind of creative ability.

Although it was Lin Xun’s first time designing an aeth tool, he had been following Mister Lu since a young age and had come across many bizarre and rare rune patterns so he wasn’t the least bit afraid.

Lin Xun sat down in the room and organized the rune materials into groups. Then, he prepared paper and ink and began to brainstorm.

The composition of the rune ink, the blade’s appearance and materials and the rune patterns…were all carefully planned out.

He based the design on his cultivation base and fighting style. Everything was designed with his fighting needs in mind!

The atmosphere in the room was still and quiet. Lin Xun’s back was straight as a spear as he sat in front of the desk, his expression focused and serious. Only the brush in his hand produced scratching noises as it slid across the paper.

The art of runes was a mysterious power.

Once an ordinary tool was engraved with runes, it would transform into an aeth tool and possess unbelievable powers. It was indeed very magical.

Runes also concerned every aspect of cultivation, such as alchemy, tool making, beast taming, puppets and aeth plants.

The tremendous influence that runes had could be seen everywhere in the empire. For example, the rune transmission light screen used to broadcast news, the rune shuttle that provided transportation, and the battleships with incredible defense power were all things that enhanced life in the empire.

Runes could be said to not only occupy an extremely important position in the cultivation system, but also affected all aspects of the entire world!

As a result, the rune master profession was a special existence.

All the rune knowledge that Lin Xun knew had been learned and passed down from Mister Lu. He might only be a rune master at the initial stage, but the rune knowledge he possessed was far greater than what any beginner rune master had.

Otherwise, he couldn't have possibly helped Old Mo improve the structure of the aeth engine of the Violet Hero Battleship nor would he have been able to create a killing weapon like the Flying Star Crossbow.

Even the power of the aeth tools he made on commision for the Rune Master Association was superior to the aeth tools on the market!

He was the only one who knew that he possessed an unimaginable mastery in the art of runes because of the rune knowledge that Mister Lu had imparted to him.

However, the key to him successfully making aeth tools every time and with significantly greater powers than those on the market was because of the Omega door in his mind-sea.

He had already produced several aeth tools and so he was very familiar with the almost imperceptible fluctuation from the Omega door in his mind-sea.

It was that imperceptible wave of movement that made every aeth tool production successful. Moreover, the weapons he made were all visibly stronger than the aeth tools on the market!

Lin Xun didn’t know the reason for that, but he reckoned that the strange movement from the Omega door was a mysterious power. Perhaps, when he truly passed all the tests in the Omega Secret Realm would he be able to truly understand and control that power!

……

Time flew by. Several days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xun had already finalized all the ideas for his new blade. He had formulated a plan and dealt with the required rune materials one by one. He was about to start the real work.

Lin Xun’s injuries had completely healed a few days ago. His cultivation had not only been restored but he was also much stronger than in the past.

This was a direct benefit from real-life battles. Battles could help temper a cultivator and help them transform on their road to become the strongest.

Meanwhile, Jiujiu had also awoken two days ago. He was still bouncing around like always, but Lin Xun knew that he possessed incredible talent, though no one knew what he would transform into in the future.

That day, just when Lin Xun was all prepared and was about to start refining rune ink, Chu Feng suddenly stopped by.

His face was overcast with worry and he said bluntly when he saw Lin Xun, “Little Brother, we encountered a huge problem this time!”

Lin Xun narrowed his eyes and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Chu Feng said bitterly, “Last night, someone came to find me and asked Master Xun to come with her.”

Lin Xun scrunched his brows, “Who was it?”

Chu Feng’s expression became increasingly glum. “An old woman with incredible strength. Most importantly, her background isn’t ordinary. Although I don’t know what her background is, based on my observation, I know she would kill me without any hesitation if I dare to disagree!”

Lin Xun was baffled. An old woman didn’t pay any importance to Chu Feng, the head of the Rune Master Association. From that fact alone, one could imagine how terrifying the old woman’s background was.

At that moment, Xue Jin, who was sleeping in a corner, suddenly opened his eyes and his lips curved in an imperceptible cold smile. Then, with a brisk toss of his head, he fell back asleep.

Lin Xun didn’t notice Old Jin’s reaction and just asked with a frown, “Then Big Brother, did you agree?”

Chu Feng hurriedly shook his head. “How would I dare? But I only managed to fight for three days of time to think about it. If we don’t agree by then, I’m worried…”

Lin Xun understood. He couldn’t help but knit his brows in deep thought. If I go with the old woman, I would undoubtedly expose my identity.

Most importantly, if she had bad intentions, it would be very dangerous for him.

Chu Feng seemed able to read Lin Xun’s mind as he said, “Don’t worry, the old woman’s purpose is very simple. She wants you to repair an aeth tool and has no other intention.”

After contemplating it over and over again, Lin Xun finally inhaled deeply and said, “Fine, in three days, I will go and see that arrogant and unreasonable old woman with you!”
