Douluo: This soul master has a little bit of luck

Chapter 226 Encountering Xiao Yan on the Road, Yao Lao's Praise, Innate Saint Body for Alchemy

After buying the bracelet, Qi Lin personally put it on Xiao Xun'er.

Her wrists were milky white and slender, and they felt soft to the touch.

As Xiao Xun'er watched Qi Lin's gentle movements, a blush rose on her cheeks, and a hint of shyness flashed in her eyes.

Next, Qi Lin and Xiao Xun'er strolled around the market, buying things along the way. The surrounding vendors looked at the golden couple with beaming smiles.

Whenever the two lingered in front of the stall, the vendor would shower them with flattering words as if they were free.

In the eyes of these vendors, these two are their gods of wealth!
If you can please them, you might be able to buy more from their stall.

As expected, Xiao Xun'er listened to the merchants' flattering words, especially when she heard phrases like "a perfect match," "a match made in heaven," "a golden couple," and "a couple who look alike," and the smile on her fair face was completely undisguised.

You should know that Xiao Xun'er is a real little rich girl. When she's happy, she can just wave her hand and take whatever she wants without ever haggling.

Qi Lin stayed by Xiao Xun'er's side, only speaking occasionally.

Some merchants, seeing this, tried to be clever. They flattered Xiao Xun'er and Qi Lin while secretly raising prices. Qi Lin wasn't so easy to talk to such unscrupulous merchants.

He happened to have created a little trick called the Qilin Devouring Fortune Technique, which allows one to devour the fortune of others.

Faced with such unscrupulous merchants, Qi Lin directly devoured a portion of their fortune. Although they would not die, they would be plagued by misfortune and suffer the consequences of their own actions.

You will not only fail to gain wealth, but you may also risk losing it!

After strolling through the market, just as the two were about to return to the Xiao family, a slightly thin figure suddenly came into view.

"Xiao Yan?"

Qi Lin looked at the thin young man not far away and recognized his identity.

Xiao Yan was dressed in a black outfit, with a handsome face. He wasn't outstanding, but he could be described as good-looking.

Seemingly noticing Qi Lin's gaze, Xiao Yan turned around and immediately spotted Xiao Xun'er standing with him like a golden couple.

In the original novel, Xiao Yan sneaked into Xiao Xun'er's room in the middle of the night to "nourish" her meridians, which left a deep impression on Xiao Xun'er.

This also explains why Xiao Xun'er never abandoned Xiao Yan during the years he was rendered useless.

However, due to Qi Lin's intrusion, Xiao Yan was knocked unconscious by Qi Lin as soon as he entered Xiao Xun'er's room. Given Xiao Xun'er's aloof personality, without this experience, she would naturally not treat Xiao Yan differently.

After all, while Xiao Yan's talent might be considered good in the Northwest Continent, it wouldn't be considered top-tier in the Central Plains.

(Xiao Yan's true talent lies in alchemy.)
Upon seeing Qi Lin and Xiao Xun'er, Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he waved to them and greeted them.

“Cousin Xun’er, and this one too…”

Xiao Yan wanted to greet Qi Lin, but he didn't know how to address him.

Qi Lin had only appeared in Xiao Xun'er's boudoir before, so Xiao Yan had no impression of him.

As for what happened more than ten years ago, Xiao Yan was knocked unconscious before he could even see Qi Lin's face clearly, so naturally he couldn't possibly remember Qi Lin.

Qi Lin looked at Xiao Yan and greeted him with a smile.

"Hello, my name is Qi Lin!"

"Qilin?" Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with a strange light when he heard Qi Lin's introduction.

He had been in the Dou Qi Continent for over ten years and had never heard of Qilin in this world.

Hearing Qi Lin's name now, my thoughts immediately drifted away.

However, after three years of reflection, Xiao Yan's personality had become much more composed, and he quickly realized what was going on. It must just be a homophone!

After realizing what was happening, Xiao Yan clasped his hands in greeting to Qi Lin and said, "I am Xiao Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"Cousin Xiao Yan, are you buying medicinal herbs?" Xiao Xun'er asked Xiao Yan curiously.

Since Xiao Yan was rejected by Nalan Yanran, he has been living a secluded life for several months.

However, Xiao Xun'er still saw him a few times and knew that his talent had returned.

Especially today, it is discovered that his strength has actually recovered to the sixth level of Dou Qi.

If this continues, I'm afraid that in another two months, when the Xiao family's coming-of-age ceremony is predicted, his strength will reach the seventh level of Dou Qi.

In just a few short months, Xiao Yan has actually broken through from the third level of Dou Qi to the current sixth level of Dou Qi. It seems that he has also had some extraordinary encounters.

Moreover, this serendipitous encounter should be related to Xiao Yan's visit to the market to purchase medicinal herbs.

There was just one thing that puzzled Xiao Xun'er.

Even if Xiao Yan has a mysterious alchemist behind him, his meridians are weak at the Dou Qi stage, and he can't even withstand the effects of the lowest-grade first-class pills. What use would it be for Xiao Yan to buy the medicinal herbs?

Qi Lin knew the reason: Xiao Yan bought these pills so that Yao Lao could help him refine Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Xiao Yan's gaze lingered on Xiao Xun'er and Qi Lin for a moment.

The teacher had said before that Xun'er's background was not simple, and Qi Lin's temperament was also not simple.

Given their experience, it's normal for them to have some suspicions after seeing them buy medicinal herbs.

Xiao Yan smiled calmly, nodded, and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xiao Xun'er didn't ask any more questions.

Who doesn't have some secrets?
She then smiled faintly and said, "Then Cousin Xiao Yan, you can continue with your work. Brother Qi Lin and I will head back first."

Seeing that Xiao Xun'er did not continue to ask, Xiao Yan smiled calmly and said, "Cousin Xun'er, Brother Qi, take care!"

Qi Lin nodded slightly, and then walked past Xiao Yan with Xiao Xun'er holding his arm.

Watching the two depart, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was quite pleased with the two for not pressing him for details.

Just then, the slightly weathered voice of the old doctor suddenly rang in his mind.

"Little Yanzi, the young man next to that little girl is no ordinary person. If he possesses the fire-wood attribute of an alchemist, he would definitely be a natural talent for alchemy."

Xiao Yan was slightly taken aback after hearing this.

This was the first time he had ever seen his teacher give someone such high praise.

Afterwards, Xiao Yan quickly bought the medicinal herbs he needed from the stall and asked curiously on the way back, "Teacher, is there anything special about that Brother Qi?"

To be honest, Qi Lin gave Xiao Yan a very good first impression.

During the three years that Xiao Yan's strength regressed, his character was greatly tempered, and the ridicule and sarcasm he received from others gave him his own unique way of judging people.

In Qi Lin, Xiao Yan saw no trace of darkness; he seemed like a noble young master from a painting, a figure from a bygone era. If he were to describe Qi Lin using a phrase from his past life, it would be…

The stranger is like jade, and the young master is unparalleled in the world!
