Chapter 383 Intense Weapon Refining Operation

Seven days whizzed by under everyone’s anticipation.

Lin Xun had been in closed-door cultivation on the third floor of Mind Cleansing Peak and hadn’t left once. No one knew what he was doing.

Soon, many people lost their patience. Only Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture continued to pay close attention to him.

One day, Lin Zhong stepped out of Mind Cleansing Hall.

Both Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture immediately turned their heads towards the Mind Cleansing Hall. For the past seven days, Lin Zhong has been waiting for orders on the third floor of Mind Cleansing Hall.

Since he has left Mind Cleansing Hall, does that mean Lin Xun has finished his closed-door cultivation?

Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture found it odd that Lin Zhong had an indescribably strange expression on his face. He had a dazed look like he had encountered something shocking and incomprehensible.

Xiaoke couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”

Lin Zhong suddenly snapped awake and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “It’s so unbelievable.”

He led Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture to a secret room and, with a flick of his sleeve, brought out twelve glowing aeth tools.

The dazzling glow immediately illuminated the room.

Blades, spears, swords, halberds, battleaxes, hooks, forks...There were a total of twelve aeth tools, and each one emitted a completely different aura.

In particular, one of the aeth blades constantly produced a clear cry in the air, released violet-colored haze, and shone with a fierce, baleful aura.

The air around constantly whimpered like it was being torn apart!

There was no need for Lin Zhong to explain as Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture were both stunned into silence.

After a long moment, Xiaoke drew a deep breath and exclaimed. “Twelve earth-grade aeth tools!”

They knew that Lin Xun had no doubt been making aeth tools in the past seven days, but they couldn’t believe that he was able to produce twelve earth-grade aeth tools during that period!

In other words, he had made two earth-grade aeth tools almost every day. His speed was too incredible.

Earth-grade aeth tools were much superior to human-grade aeth tools!

It was an extremely troublesome process to create one. Only Spirit Sea cultivators could perfectly control weapons of that level and unleash their full power.

Generally speaking, it would take an experienced rune grandmaster at least three to five days to make a single earth-grade aeth tool.

This showed how abnormal it was for Lin Xun to produce so many in such a short period.

Xiaoke was most shocked because she remembered that Lin Xun had taken twelve rudimentary aeth tools from Yang Ling, and now twelve earth-grade aeth tools were lying in front of her. What did it mean?

Lin Xun had a perfect weapon refining success rate and hadn’t failed once!

His abnormal speed and success rate astonished Xiaoke as he was just a young rune master.

Even though she already knew about Lin Xun’s extraordinary mastery in the art of the runes, she couldn’t imagine how he could manage to do that.

While Xiaoke was inwardly quivering from shock, Spirit Vulture said aloud, “One of them is an earth-grade aeth treasure!”

Aeth treasure!

This was an incredibly rare treasure with an unimaginable power that was seen as a gift from the heavens.

Only a handful of rune grandmasters in the empire could refine aeth treasures!

Lin Xun hadn’t only made twelve aeth tools in seven days, but one of them was also a heaven-blessed aeth treasure. Spirit Vulture couldn’t maintain his composure anymore.

It’s too unbelievably terrifying!

Although it is rare to find rune masters in their teens, it’s not impossible. But there has never been anyone able to produce two earth-grade aeth tools in one day as Lin Xun did!

Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture finally understood why Lin Zhong looked so dazed.

No one would be able to keep calm after witnessing Lin Xun’s feat, right?

After all, it is too unbelievable!

“Young master said that apart from the Purple Soul Blade, you can decide how to distribute the rest. You may want to use them as rewards,” Lin Zhong said after a while.

“That’s a good idea, treasures like these shouldn’t be sold,” Spirit Vulture agreed.

“Reward? He’s so smart. We can arrange an assessment with these aeth tools as rewards to select talents!”

Xiaoke was from Blood Kill Camp, so she knew a lot about assessments, rules and rewards.

It wouldn’t be difficult to select some talents from Mind Cleansing Peak if they had such aeth tools as rewards.

Lin Zhong quickly left. He headed to the Blacksmith Workshop to retrieve sixteen more rudimentary aeth tools from Yang Ling and returned to the third floor of Mind Cleansing Hall and handed them to Lin Xun.

……

Another seven days passed.

Lin Zhong walked out of Mind Cleansing Hall once again.

Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture were astonished to see Lin Zhong. They had thought that Lin Xun would take longer than seven days to make sixteen Earth-Grade aeth tools.

They were wrong.

Lin Zhong was someone who had seen and experienced many storms in his lifetime. Additionally, he had already witnessed Lin Xun’s extraordinary earlier feat. Even so, he still had a dazed look on his face when he stepped out of Mind Cleansing Hall.

Soon, Lin Zhong revealed that Lin Xun had successfully produced sixteen earth-grade aeth tools and hadn’t failed once in those seven days.

The greatest difference from last time was that he had made two aeth treasures!

Si—

Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture narrowed their eyes and their minds shook.

Aeth treasures are incredibly rare. A rune master would be extremely proud if they were able to make one in their lifetime.

However, refining aeth treasures doesn't seem to be a problem for Lin Xun!

“He made twelfth earth-grade aeth tools last time and one was an aeth treasure,” Spirit Vulture exclaimed. “And now, he made sixteen aeth tools, two of which are aeth treasures! His rapid progress in the art of runes is too abnormal!”

Xiaoke was speechless.

Lin Xun again kept the two aeth treasures, one of which was a pair of bronze truncheons and the other was a chest plate.

As for other aeth tools, Lin Zhong left them with Spirit Vulture.

Another seven days passed by in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xun made another nineteen earth-grade aeth tools, but only two were aeth treasures.

Even so, Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture were astonished once again and lost their composure.

Fortunately, Lin Xun ended his intense weapon refining operation after that, which made both Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture breathe a sigh of relief.

In truth, if Lin Xun continued to produce weapons, they didn’t know whether they could withstand the shock of his result every time.

After days of observation, Spirit Vulture no longer doubted whether Lin Xun could make rune armaments.

Instead, he was full of anticipation. At least, given Lin Xun’s mastery in the art of runes, he had proved he had the potential to make a rune armament!

Other rune masters would never have such potential in their entire life.

……

In the secret training room on the third floor of the Mind Cleansing Hall.

Lin Xun lay on the ground, panting and sweating profusely.

He was chewing a piece of Snow Infant Jade Ginseng in his mouth while its tremendous medicinal power was constantly replenishing his exhausted aeth power.

For the past couple of weeks, apart from meditating and cultivating, he had been frantically making weapons and honing his rune skills.

The high-intensity training had an amazing effect: he not only produced many earth-grade aeth tools but also made five aeth treasures!

In addition, his cultivation had improved tremendously. He had broken through into the intermediate Spirit Sea Stage!

Given his current combat strength, he would be able to effortlessly defeat Hua Wuyou unlike before.

At the same time, the improvement in his cultivation meant that his spirit power had also soared. Currently, nine hundred spirit stars were lit up in his mind-sea!

The dazzling, dreamy starry light filled his mind-sea and bathed his spirit.

The increase in his spirit power meant that Lin Xun could more easily and accurately control and manipulate a rune brush and rune ink when inscribing rune patterns.

For example, his speed of producing aeth tools had improved so tremendously precisely because his spirit power had been strengthened, which catalyzed everything.

Soon, he consumed the last stem of the Snow Infant Jade Ginseng.

The dried-up sea of qi in Lin Xun’s body had been restored and refilled with vast pale cyan aeth power. The moon and sun reflected one another, stars gathered around them, and a storm vortex stretched across the sky.

Lin Xun rose to his feet, his dark eyes clear, and his figure graceful and ethereal.

Without further delay, he walked out of the training room and headed straight to Mind Cleansing Hall to find Lin Zhong.

“Lin Zhong, how is the preparation for the aeth treasures going?” Lin Xun asked.

“Young Master, everything is prepared.”

“Okay, send someone to deliver them to Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Ye Xiaoqi and Gong Ming.

Lin Xun issued an order and then said, “After you handle that matter, can you and Third Old Zhu go on a walk with me.”

“Young Master, where do you want to go?”

It had been three months since Lin Xun’s duel with Hua Wuyou, and he hadn’t left Mind Cleansing Peak since then. What did he plan to do?

Lin Xun didn’t try to hide anything and said bluntly, “The headquarters of the Rune Master Association.”
