Of course, Lin Xun had no idea what happened in the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists, but he felt contented and considered this visit fruitful.

After he was authenticated as a primary spiritual tattooist, he found it more convenient to make money, for he didn’t need to do everything by himself.

As he was back home, Shue Jin who had been slept soundly got up suddenly and shouted, “My wine, where is my wine?”

“I didn’t forget it.”

With a smile, Lin Xun took out a newly bought jar of Soul-burning liquor from his Storage Ring and threw it to Shue Jin.

“Your trip seems very fruitful,” Shue Jin glanced at Lin Xun.

“Not bad. I don’t need to rush around anymore. As long as I refine a spiritual weapon, I’ll consign it to the Commune for sale.”

Lin Xun told Shue Jin what had happened in the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists.

To his surprise, Shue Jin suddenly said with a sneer, “There is no free lunch. He must be up to something. Kid, I have to remind you. Since Chu Feng dares to sign the ‘God-Devil Agreement’ with you, he must have a bigger picture.”

Lin Xun nodded, “That’s what I am thinking. I bear in mind that I have to pay a price as big as the gain I obtain.”

Having known that Lin Xun understood the principles therein, Shue Jin sighed with emotion, “You’ll know that a person’s favor is the most difficult thing to pay back in the world!”

He seemed to recall something, shook his head dispiritedly, and fell asleep with the jar in his arms.

Looking at Shue Jin, Lin Xun thought for a while. Afterward, he smiled and walked into his room.

A grasp of mundane affairs is genuine knowledge, and understanding of worldly wisdom is true learning. Since his childhood, Lin Xun knew that if you cared about it, the so-called people’s favor was heavier than a mountain; but if you didn’t give a damn, it was lighter than a goose feather.

If Chu Feng made any improper demand someday in the future, Lin Xun would have to carefully think about it.

If it were something within his ability, Lin Xun would definitely lend a hand. But that was something in the future. At least for now, he didn’t have to worry about it.

...

After entering his room, Lin Xun spent a couple hours refining a Snowfall Saber, a Blood-bronzed Spear, and a pair of Gusty-wind Boots at one fling with all the spiritual inks and materials he bought.

The three spiritual tools were all quality middle-grade spiritual weapons of Human-rank. Besides, totally unlike that of those traded in the market, their power was improved greatly after Lin’s refining.

Ooh~

Lin Xun heaved a long breath of foul air. He could refine only three spiritual tools a day at most based on his cultivation and spiritual energy at present.

He was unable to refine one more.

However, Lin Xun didn’t know that it was already a miracle for a spiritual tattooist to refine three spiritual weapons without a failure in only a few hours!

It was nearly impossible for other spiritual tattooists to do that!

An ordinary spiritual tattooist would spend three to five days refining a Snowfall Saber. Besides, he couldn’t guarantee that he wouldn’t fail.

From this aspect, one should know how terrifying Lin Xun’s cultivation was in spiritual tattoos.

There were some reasons. On one hand, he had learned a lot on spiritual tattoos from Master Lu and practiced inscribing since his childhood; on the other hand, his extremely profound cultivation foundation and greatly domineering spiritual energy provided strong support for him to inscribe spiritual tattoos.

More importantly, a trace of mysterious fluctuation of the Gate to Heaven guaranteed the 100% success of refining spiritual weapons each time. Consequentially, he wouldn’t fail.

What was more unbelievable was that the spiritual weapons refined by Lin Xun saw great improvements in their power!

All the above factors together facilitated Lin Xun to possess the unimaginable accomplishments and techniques in spiritual tattoos.

After he put the refined spiritual weapons away, he started to practice Meditating Magic and Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture as usual.

When he left the Bloodthirsty Camp, he had just reached the Human-gang Realm. Now, he needed to strengthen and consolidate his cultivation and get himself well prepared for the Province Test held in half a year.

As far as Lin Xun was concerned, the practitioners qualified for the test were all powerful figures who stood out among thousands of people after rounds of selection.

It was no exaggeration to say that the practitioners who were qualified to attend the test had already proved that they were extraordinarily powerful.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xun didn’t dare to slack off however confident he was.

Late at night, Lin Xun was in bed awake after finishing his practice. He was thinking what he needed to do next.

“I have to refine a set of weapon and equipment to maximize my fighting ability during the Province Test.”

“Besides, I need to gather some intelligence about this test and analyze the fighting ability of each practitioner involved, so I can fully prepared.”

“But, the top priority now is to consolidate my cultivation. Now that I have just reached the Human-gang Realm, I should have a reference point to judge my advantages and disadvantages...”

After having a rough picture of what to do the next day, he fell asleep.

...

Lin Xun went out early next morning.

At daybreak, the spacious cobweb-like streets extending in all directions were already crowded with people and vehicles, quite bustling.

Choo choo~~

A special whistle was heard in the air.

Looking up, Lin Xun saw that a new-type long Spiritual Tattoo Shuttle glittering with gorgeous spiritual light was running in the air over his head.

The Spiritual Tattoo Shuttle was a new-type shuttle the empire had newly developed in recent years, which traveled to and fro among different zones of the city for people’s convenience.

Covered with spiritual tattoos all over its body, the shuttle was powered by a spiritual furnace with spiritual crystal as the raw material. So it could glide in the air. It was really fast, also stable and safe.

Such a Spiritual Tattoo Shuttle could accommodate as many as thousands of people, maximally meeting the demand of the practitioners and people at the bottom of the society.

Of course, people had to pay to take the Spiritual Tattoo Shuttle.

That was the magic of spiritual tattooists. They utilized the spiritual tattoos to develop the spiritual tools that not only met the practitioners’ demands but also exerted a far-flung influence on the secular society.

Taking Spiritual Screen and Spiritual Tattoo Shuttle for example. They seemed useless for the practitioners, but they undoubtedly had a great effect on the whole secular society of the empire, which was a ground-breaking undertaking in history!

Watching the shuttle leave, Lin Xun couldn’t help sighing that the spiritual tattooists played an invaluable role in the entire empire, which was probably one of the reasons why the spiritual tattooists enjoyed a highly honorable status.

Lin Xun arrived at the Commune of Spiritual Tattoos soon.

The moment he came in, the beautiful maid Yunque he saw yesterday recognized him and gave him a warm welcome.

After a brief inquiry, Lin Xun knew that this was Chu Feng’s arrangement. He asked, “Was the Snowfall Saber I consigned yesterday sold?”

Yunque looked around quickly and said with her voice down, “Childe Xun, this is not the right place to talk. Please follow me to the second floor.”

Lin Xun was in a trance. Was it necessary to be so mysterious?

But soon he got to know why. He saw the spiritual treasure area being crowded with many practitioners talking loudly. What a bustling scene it was!

What they were talking about was all about the Snowfall Saber!

“Bro, I want to ask if the Snowfall Saber refined by Master Xun is on sale here?”

“Bro, are you also here for Master Xun?”

“Ha ha, see, almost all the practitioners in the spiritual treasure area come here for Master Xun who’s joined the Commune with the superb accomplishments in spiritual tattoos.”

“Geese, so many people. The competition will be extremely fierce this time.”

“Well, yeah, we don’t know who this Master Xun is. I heard that Zhou Chen of Mist College made an unbelievable deal, buying an excellent and unique Snowfall Saber only at the cost of 1,000 imperial silver coins. I’m so jealous.”

“Damn it. One thousand silver coins are nothing. If I had been here yesterday, how could Zhou Chen have gotten the bargain?”

The discussions were all about “Master Xun” and “Snowfall Saber”. What a scene!

Seeing this, Lin Xun got to know that the Snowfall Saber he had consigned for sale was unexpectedly sold at a high price of 1,000 silver coins!

Moreover, he was labeled as “Master Xun” because of the saber and caused a stir among most practitioners in Mist City.

Lin Xun had never anticipated this coming.

“Bro, are you also waiting for Master Xun to consign his spiritual weapons? I suggest you stop waiting since there are too many people here. You’d better get out of here,” said a man with his eyebrows knitted while seeing Lin Xun show up in the spiritual treasure area.

Apparently, in his eyes, Lin was just another competitor.

“Oh, thanks for reminding me.”

Lin Xun felt speechless and walked forward while shaking his head.

“I drive another competitor away!” said the man complacently. If he knew that the one he drove away was “Master Xun”, how would he feel?

When Lin Xun passed by the mission area, he got dumbfounded. There were also many practitioners gathering here. But apparently, it was more boisterous here.

“Please issue a task for me. I want a spiritual weapon refined by Master Xun. As long as it meets my need, money is not a problem!”

“Damn it! I’m so unlucky. Another guy designates Master Xun to refine a spiritual weapon? How many of us now?”

“See, the tasks issued in the mission area today are all for Master Xun. If I knew this earlier, I would have queued up yesterday!”

On hearing the discussions, Lin Xun had kind of weird feeling. Until Yunque led him to a quiet and quaint room on the second floor, he couldn’t help asking, “Yunque, what is going on out there?”

A hearty laughter came from the outside before Yunque answer him, “I’m afraid she can’t answer your question.”

Chu Feng wearing exquisite brocade clothes and well-trimmed mustache walked in, looking very charming and graceful.
