Start from refining weapons in Doupo Xiuxian

"I didn't expect Mr. Yao would speak so bluntly about such things. The ways of the world, hahaha." Jiang Lin couldn't help laughing when he heard Mr. Yao say without any reservation that he wanted to make himself known.

Under the orange-red light of the lanterns, Mr. Yao and Jiang Lin smiled at each other. The warm light stretched the shadows of both, one big and one small.

"That's how you make your way in the underworld." Mr. Yao smiled warmly, then turned around and walked towards the inn with Jiang Lin.

"Besides, Captain Lin should have come here just to make himself familiar with the crowd."

Chapter 18 Jiang Lin's underwear is exposed

In the brightly lit street, just as Jiang Lin was about to turn around and follow Mr. Yao's departing back, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye and subconsciously looked back.

Then he saw, in the warm light not far away, a boy and a girl walking side by side.

As if sensing Jiang Lin's gaze, the girl looked up, and her warm blue eyes met her dark blue eyes.

The girl did not see the colors that she hated in the other person's eyes. She only saw a kind of doubt in the other person's eyes.

While Jiang Lin and the girl were looking at each other, the boy next to her just squatted down and picked up a small windmill from the ground, then stood up and put it in the girl's hand like offering a treasure, then looked in the direction of the other person's gaze with some confusion, but only saw a gradually disappearing black figure.

"Xun'er, what are you looking at?"

"Ah? Nothing. Is this what Brother Xiao Yan gave to Xun'er? It looks so good! Xun'er loves it!"

"Ahahaha! As long as Xun'er likes it!"

At night, the bright moon was hanging high in the sky, in a courtyard somewhere in the Xiao family mansion in Wutan City.

"Mr. Ling, have you investigated the identity of that person?" a gentle female voice whispered.

The next moment, a deep male voice came from the darkness: "Miss, that man is called Jiang Lin, the adopted son of the owner of Wanyaozhai in Qingshan Town, an orphan, and is good at refining weapons. Their purpose of coming to Wutan City this time should be to sell the ten low-level yellow-grade fighting weapons in their inn."

As a professional intelligence officer, Ling Ying's professional ability has always been outstanding if we ignore the premise that he is a Dou Huang.

After all, it is too easy for him, a Dou Huang, to investigate two little Karamis. Mr. Yao is a well-known person and it is easy to investigate. Then, following the clues, Ling Ying can easily deduce that Jiang Lin is a weapon refiner.

If Jiang Lin was a first-class alchemist, Ling Ying would definitely be surprised. But the eleven-year-old Jiang Lin was just a low-level yellow-rank alchemist, that's all? Ling Ying could only shrug, he had a little bit of talent, but that was all.

As Douhuang guards from the great families of Zhongzhou, Ling Ying and others have a much more comprehensive understanding of weapon refiners than Jiang Lin, a peasant. Basically, many Douqi masters who play with fire can be considered half weapon refiners, and many high-level alchemists can also refine Douqi below the Earth Rank.

It is even rumored that some forces have strong people who can refine "pseudo earth weapons" and "pseudo heaven weapons". Of course, these pseudo earth weapons and pseudo heaven weapons are basically no different from the traditional weapons used by Dou Zong Dou Zun in the eyes of outsiders.

So what is a pseudo-geodevice?

To give a simple example, the Xuanzhong ruler that can leave a palm print on a Dou Zun is a 'pseudo-earth weapon'.

In other words, compared with the seventh, eighth and ninth grade elixirs, pseudo-earth artifacts and pseudo-sky artifacts are just "waste elixirs" that merely bring out the properties of the materials.

Why do high-level elixirs experience thunder tribulation? Rather than saying it is a thunder tribulation, it is better to say it is a way of blessing the vitality of heaven and earth. In other words, high-level elixirs have both medicinal value and the value of the vitality of heaven and earth. The combination of the two gives the alchemist an unparalleled status.

Therefore, for a person with a big power like Ling Ying, he can only wait until Jiang Lin becomes a true earth-level weapon refiner, and then he might kneel down to Jiang Lin on the spot.

It's a pity that this guy is only at the lower or higher level of the Yellow Rank. Tsk, just like that. If he doesn't reach the Earth Rank, he will always be an ant.

"An eleven-year-old Yellow Rank Low-Level Refiner?" In the room filled with fragrance and flickering candlelight, Xiao Xun'er sat at the dressing table, looking at herself in the bronze mirror. She was pretty, lovely, youthful, and beautiful (the rapid development is common in fantasy worlds).

"As long as it doesn't threaten the Xiao family, you don't have to worry about it." Xiao Xun'er said lightly.

But to be honest, she still had some doubts in her heart. She had seen many men's eyes, but never the pure doubt like Jiang Lin's. You know, even her brother Xiao Yan sometimes had a dishonest look in his eyes.

"By the way, Miss, there is one more thing. If nothing goes wrong, the two of them may visit the Xiao family tomorrow morning. If Miss still has any questions, you can ask them directly in person then." Ling Ying felt that Miss Xun'er only needed to act cute for this kind of young man. Well, anyway, just ask him a few questions, and the young man with a blushing face will spill all the secrets in his heart like pouring beans.

Well. OK, Ling Ying admitted that he seemed to be using Miss Xun'er as a beauty trap, but who cares? It doesn't matter. He doesn't even dare to explain to Boss Gu Yuan that Xiao Yan sneaked into Miss Xun'er's boudoir in the middle of the night. Let it be destroyed, he doesn't care.

As long as Miss Xun'er likes it and is happy, she can ask if she has any questions. Anyway, this is all the information he can find out.

"Yeah, I got it."

"Subordinates retire."

"Mr. Yao from Wanyaozhai, Qingshan Town, is here to visit the head of the Xiao family."

The next morning, Mr. Yao brought Jiang Lin to the gate of the Xiao family mansion and handed in his name letter.

Mr. Yao was still wearing a clean and tidy dark blue robe, while Jiang Lin changed into a clean grey cloth. He stood behind Mr. Yao, holding two wooden boxes, one large and one small, stacked together, looking like a little follower.

The Xiao family has been quite busy recently. Other families in Wutan City, forces in other places, and even the capital of the Jia Ma Empire have sent people to give gifts to the Xiao family to congratulate Xiao Yan on his breakthrough to the Fighter level and becoming the most outstanding young talent in the Jia Ma Empire. Of course, it is said that some sects in the Jia Ma Empire have also extended an olive branch to the Xiao family, hoping to accept Xiao Yan as a disciple.

However, the current head of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, has not agreed to anyone's request, or rather, he is still weighing the pros and cons and wants to choose a better path for his youngest son, Xiao Yan.

"Mr. Yao from Wanyaozhai, please follow me. The clan leader invites you!" After informing the Xiao family's guard post, a few moments later, members of the Xiao family came in with smiles on their faces to welcome Mr. Yao and Jiang Lin in.

"Mr. Yao, I think your name is really good. No matter who it is, they have to call you Mr.." Jiang Lin followed behind Mr. Yao, looking at the festive atmosphere in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, and whispered to Mr. Yao.

"Hehe." Mr. Yao just smiled gently and tapped Jiang Lin's smart little head. His name had long been abandoned in the Izumo Empire. In the Gama Empire, Mr. Yao was his name.

Soon, the young man of the Xiao family who was leading the way held back his laughter and brought Mr. Yao and Jiang Lin to the Xiao family's reception room. Here, a middle-aged man with a ruddy face and a hint of majesty between his brows had been waiting for the two of them.

"Mr. Yao is a great man who helps the world. I have always wanted to make friends with him!"

Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao family and Xiao Yan's adoptive father, looked at Mr. Yao and spoke half seriously and half politely.

Chapter 19 What? Is Lin'er feeling amorous?

Why is it half serious and half polite?

If it was the Xiao family in the past, then Xiao Zhan would be completely serious. But now the Xiao family, with its fancy sedan chairs carried by everyone, seems to be on the rise with the flattery of forces from all over the place. At this time, although Xiao Zhan is not the kind of bad guy who looks down on others and takes advantage of others, he must not act too close to the visits of various forces.

Xiao Zhan had heard of Mr. Yao's reputation, but in this kind of "icing on the cake" situation, who knows what bad intentions the other party has? So Xiao Zhan's words were both serious and polite.

In response, Mr. Yao also exchanged a few compliments with Xiao Zhan, then called Jiang Lin forward, took the smallest wooden box that Jiang Lin was holding, and handed it to Xiao Zhan with both hands: "This time when I came to Wutan City, I heard that there was a happy event in the Xiao clan leader's family. I didn't have time to prepare anything. I can only take out a hundred-year-old Huangjing ginseng and give it to the Xiao clan leader. Combined with other medicines, it can help Xiao Yan strengthen his body. If you can find a pharmacist, it may be able to achieve better results. I hope that the Xiao clan leader will not despise it and accept this small gift from Yao."

Mr. Yao really didn't prepare anything. The century-old Polygonatum sibiricum he took out was the one he brought from Wanyaozhai. He carried it with him as a precaution so that he wouldn't appear to be in a hurry whether he wanted to buy something, give a gift, or ask someone to do something for him in the future.

This is the wisdom of the old man.

"How could that be? Mr. Yao, such a righteous man, is willing to visit my Xiao family. This is already a recognition of me!" When Xiao Zhan heard that the hundred-year-old Polygonatum ginseng would be good for Xiao Yan, he was immediately delighted. He quickly thanked Mr. Yao, took the gift, and asked a servant to hold it while he stood aside.

At this time, it was time for Jiang Lin to come out. He was holding the big wooden box and respectfully said to Xiao Zhan, "Uncle Xiao, inside is a low-level yellow-grade gauntlet, Liuguang, a gift from the junior Jiang Lin to Big Brother Xiao Yan."

Jiang Lin didn't know who was older between him and Xiao Yan, but when he went out, it was always right to call Xiao Yan "big brother", especially in front of elders.

Xiao Zhan looked at Jiang Lin with some surprise. He was a little surprised that the little brat in front of him gave him a gift in his name. He was also surprised by the Flowing Light Gauntlet. You know, the best cultivation technique of their Xiao family is only at the Xuan level. According to the importance conversion, the low-level Flowing Light Gauntlet of the Yellow Level is equivalent to the value of the intermediate-level fighting technique of the Yellow Level.

And the first move Jiang Lin made was an intermediate yellow-level fighting skill?

Impossible, absolutely impossible, snap! Rice bowl!

Xiao Zhan smiled and praised Jiang Lin a few words. Deep down, he had long believed that Mr. Yao wanted Jiang Lin to be familiar to him. The gifts must have been prepared by Mr. Yao for Jiang Lin. However, he had to admit that Mr. Yao's goal had been achieved. After all, who didn't like Jiang Lin, a cute, fair and handsome boy?

Mr. Yao chatted with Xiao Zhan for a few more words and was ready to leave. Xiao Zhan wanted to keep them for lunch before leaving. The gifts they gave were worth more than 10,000 gold coins, so they should stay for a simple meal, but Mr. Yao smiled and declined. Xiao Zhan was ready to see them off, but Mr. Yao said he had other guests to visit. Sure enough, as expected, Lin Shi, who had met yesterday, came to visit Xiao Zhan with a confidant, so Xiao Zhan couldn't leave.

After saying hello to Lin Shi, Mr. Yao took Jiang Lin out the door.

When the two of them walked to a corridor, a long-haired girl wearing a green dress, with a slim figure and extraordinary beauty came towards them.

Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked carefully at the beautiful girl who was coming towards him. For some reason, he always felt that the person in front of him gave him a different feeling from others.

A glance back at the market yesterday gave Jiang Lin this wonderful feeling in his heart.

The feeling is not palpitations or heartbeats, but a feeling that you suddenly see a pale golden snow lotus that is independent and unique in the gray world. Anyone would be surprised and confused.

Jiang Lin's dark blue eyes met Xiao Xun'er's beautiful blue-gold eyes for a moment again, and then Jiang Lin and Mr. Yao silently made way to let Xiao Xun'er pass.

Xiao Xun'er didn't say anything. Her gaze stayed on Jiang Lin for a moment. She looked normal and walked away without stopping.

Jiang Lin watched Xiao Xun'er pass by him, and a faint fragrance entered his nose.

"What's the matter? Are you feeling romantically moved, Lin'er?" Mr. Yao, who was taking Jiang Lin outside again, suddenly smiled at Jiang Lin.

Xiao Xun'er's beauty does not diminish much because of her young age. Even with Mr. Yao's great concentration, a hint of surprise flashed in his calm eyes the moment he saw Xiao Xun'er. Xiao Xun'er is the kind of person who, once you see her, will make you understand what the most flawless pure white moonlight is.

The only way to be immune to the influence of Xiao Xun'er's White Moonlight incarnation is that there is already another White Moonlight in your heart that is no less than Xiao Xun'er's.

Jiang Lin rolled his eyes at Mr. Yao, who looked old but young at heart. Wasn't it obvious that this guy wanted to laugh at him?

Seeing that Jiang Lin was not misled by the beauty, Mr. Yao smiled gently and said, "It seems that you have good self-control. Lin'er must remember that those who are extremely beautiful naturally represent trouble and power. From what the other children of the Xiao family called her just now, Miss Xun'er is quite famous in the Xiao Mansion."

After leaving the Xiao family, Mr. Yao turned back to look at the Xiao Mansion, and continued to smile and said to Jiang Lin gently: "Beauty is also a part of strength. I am not saying that beauty can be used as a weapon, but that beauty requires sufficient strength to be protected."

"From the analysis of her facial features and temperament, the beauty of Miss Xun'er is obviously beyond the scope of ordinary people. That is not the spiritual outlook that ordinary people can have. I don't know where you were looking just now, but I just glanced at the girl's eyes. Those are a pair of indifferent eyes that only a truly powerful family can give."

Mr. Yao has seen many beautiful women among ordinary people, and "empty eyes" is a description of most of them.

"Ah, you, Mr. Yao, how come you know so much?" Jiang Lin looked at Mr. Yao with suspicion. He now doubted very much that this serious old man in front of him must be an lsp secretly!

Mr. Yao just smiled gently and raised a finger:

"First, I'm a physician, I've seen a lot of patients, and I understand how rare that perfect health is."

Mr. Yao raised his second finger:

"Secondly, the temperament of Miss Xun'er is very similar to that of an old friend."

Chapter 20: Selling knives instead of armor, customers keep praising it!

The main reason why Mr. Yao could tell at a glance that Xiao Xun'er was extraordinary was that he had seen a woman with the same extraordinary temperament.

It was from that moment that Mr. Yao understood that behind extraordinary beauty, there is often some kind of invisible power.

Mr. Yao's words made Jiang Lin's eyes froze. Jiang Lin knew with his toes that the beautiful old friend Mr. Yao mentioned must be his mother whose life or death was unknown.

Jiang Lin touched his delicate face. Years of working as a blacksmith had made his skin a little darker, from fair to wheat-colored, but his skin was still very good. If he wore women's clothes, he would at least be an exotic beauty.

Now Jiang Lin suspected that Mr. Yao should know his real name. He just never mentioned it. Just like he abandoned his own name in the Izumo Empire, he thought Jiang Lin should also abandon his former name.

"No. Mr. Yao seldom calls me Jiang Lin. Except when introducing me to others, he usually calls me Lin'er. And Lin'er, as expected, knows more than I thought."

The reason why Jiang Lin did not tell Mr. Yao his real name was because he remembered that his mother had told him not to reveal his last name to outsiders as it would be dangerous.

"When I was still wondering why Xiao Xun'er was different from the rest of the Xiao family in my intuition, Mr. Yao had already analyzed through experience that Xiao Xun'er was not an ordinary person and could not be provoked. Sure enough, he is indeed an old man who has traveled through several empires." Jiang Lin sighed in his heart.

"Let's go to the Mitre Auction House. The auction house holds a small auction every three days and a larger auction every half a month. Our schedule is almost perfect. We can send the auction items over now. We should be able to settle everything tonight, and then we can buy some goods to take back." Mr. Yao interrupted Jiang Lin's wild thoughts, tapped his head, and then took Jiang Lin to the Mitre Auction House.

On the other side, inside the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan invited Lin Shi to attend their family dinner. Only Xiao Zhan's family was at the banquet. In addition to Xiao Zhan, there were the three brothers of the Xiao family, Xiao Ding, Xiao Li, and our little genius Xiao Yan.

At the family dinner, Xiao Zhan introduced his three sons, all of whom were fighters, to Lin Shi, and then said to Lin Shi: "Brother Lin, I'll ask you to take care of these two brothers while I'm away!"

Lin Shi said cheerfully, "Don't worry. Brother Xiao Zhan entrusted the two nephews to me because he thinks highly of me. After they join the mercenary group, I will definitely take care of them!"

It turned out that Xiao Ding and Xiao Li believed that after Xiao Yan broke through to the Fighter level, he would be able to take care of his father at home, so the two brothers wanted to follow Lin Shi to Black Rock City, work hard outside, and strive to create a new business for the Xiao family.

After the meal, Xiao Yan from the Xiao family gave a pair of hand guards to Xiao Ding and the others. "I don't know who gave them to me, but since the two brothers have made up their minds to go out and try their luck, I can't stop them. So I'll give these low-level yellow-grade hand guards to the two brothers, so they can have a safety guarantee."
