Refining medicine can't save Doupo!

Chapter 64: Fighting Spirit, Three Stages! [First Order Request]

"Fighting Qi, third stage!"

The cold sunlight shone on the young man who was slowly retracting his palm beside the Dou Qi stone tablet on the stage. Although he had prepared himself mentally countless times, he still felt the sunlight was particularly cold. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He didn't know if his persistence was correct. After all, if he practiced normally, he might have become a Dou Master now, right?

In the Xiao family martial arts arena in Wutan City, Jiang Lin was holding a low-key and mysterious black and gold fighting umbrella as he stood silently in the audience, watching Xiao Yan on the stage, and the cold spiritual sense in the other's chest that had begun to show soul fluctuations, without saying a word.

As a one-star fighter, he now possesses enough strength to support himself as an intermediate yellow rank, which is the status of a second-rank weapon refiner (actually third-rank). Not to mention that he has no obstacles in Wutan City, he is basically a guest of honor wherever he goes.

Knowing that Xiao Yan seemed to have a chance to get a ring, Jiang Lin would subconsciously inquire about Xiao Yan's situation every time he passed by Wutan City, thinking whether he could get a little surprise from Xiao Yan through normal transactions. As an unintentional act, Jiang Lin actually did not have too much expectation for this.

But today, when he accidentally learned that the Xiao family was conducting a martial arts test, he appeared in the audience as the second-level weapon refiner Youlin. He saw Xiao Yan, who chose to gamble his fate and fell into the lowest point of his life, and the soul ring that had awakened at some point.
"So this is the beginning of the test?" Jiang Lin held up the black gold umbrella and silently watched Xiao Yan being scolded by everyone on the stage, muttering in his heart.

"Master Jiang Lin takes better care of his skin than Xun'er does. He even holds an umbrella in such bright sunshine." Just as Jiang Lin was about to turn around and leave, he heard a voice coming from his side, which froze him in advance.

Looking back at the classical blue-dressed girl who seemed to have walked out of a painting of a beautiful woman holding a heavy book, Jiang Lin shook his head and said honestly: "No, I just think this will make me look more different and mysterious."

With a click, Jiang Lin twisted the mechanism, and the first-order advanced Xuanqi umbrella in his hand, which was picked up from an unknown corner of Wutan City and could restrain long-range fighting spirit attacks, closed automatically.

"But now that Miss Xun'er has broken my mysterious persona, this mysterious umbrella has lost its function. Just treat it as a gift to Miss Xun'er."

"Ah?" Xiao Xun'er was stunned by this answer.

Jiang Lin held the umbrella and gave the Xuanqi umbrella to Xiao Xun'er, who looked a little dazed and cute.

The first-level advanced Xuanqi Umbrella that can restrain long-range fighting spirit attacks is of no use to Jiang Lin now. If he has the materials, he wants to refine a second or third-level Xuanqi Umbrella, so that he can be truly invincible among those of the same level.

But the problem is that in order to make a third-level Xuanqi umbrella, Jiang Lin has to take the risk of hunting a third-level magical beast whose fur has special toughness.

Fortunately, the storage ring in this world is simply a space package plug-in. You only need to pay a little soul power to quickly take out various non-weighted fighting tools from the storage ring. Jiang Lin doesn't mind having more different types of fighting tools in his storage ring. Just as the pharmacist can kill the enemy by taking drugs, the weapon refiner can also kill the enemy with a large amount of fighting tools.

After giving out the Xuanqi Umbrella (protection fee), Jiang Lin left the Xiao family without looking back. Although some elders of the Xiao family were somewhat dissatisfied with this, Jiang Lin's identity as a second-level weapon refiner did not cause any unnecessary trouble.

Basically, every time Jiang Lin quietly refreshed in the Xiao family mansion and was caught by Xiao Xun'er, he would give her a first-level fighting weapon that he didn't need and only used for training, hoping to spend money to avoid disasters, and at the same time to show the mysterious Xiao Xun'er that he had no ill intentions, he just got lost in the Xiao family while picking up bargains
After all, the Xuanqi Umbrella, to put it in a big way, was in some unknown corner of Wutan City. To put it in a small way, it was Jiang Lin who "accidentally" passed by Wutan City last year, wandered around for a day or two, and finally came to the Xiao family inexplicably, and then picked up this broken umbrella in an inconspicuous corner. After a month of research, he finally managed to repair the Xuanqi Umbrella, which actually had great technical potential.

"Let's go to the Wutan City Mercenary Guild. I wonder if there are any three-star mercenary groups passing by who can take over the hunting mission for the third-level monsters?" After leaving the Xiao family, Jiang Lin looked at the direction, and then walked towards the magnificent mercenary guild built on the side of the Monster Mountain Range in Wutan City.

Within the sphere of influence of human beings in the Douqi Continent, there are three very famous guilds, namely the Alchemist Guild, the Mercenary Guild, and the Equipment Refiner Guild.

There is no need to mention the Alchemist Guild. The various elixirs that can restore life, increase cultivation, and increase combat power, as well as the complete alchemist advancement system from grade one to grade nine, have all established its unshakable lofty status.

The advancement system of the Mercenary Union is simple. In theory, there are nine-star mercenaries with Dou Sheng strength, but theory is theory. Who will give you a good Dou Sheng to do tasks? Fortunately, the Mercenary Union, with its ubiquitous presence, has built branches in almost all areas of all sizes that maintain peace with human forces. Relying on numbers and being close to the people, it has also maintained its unshakable position.

As for the Equipment Refiners Union, Jiang Lin only knew that there was only a small branch in a big city like the capital of the country, and there was no such person in other areas. However, although the Equipment Refiners Union only has a sixth-level equipment refiner, it is not a bulk force that is easy to bully. After all, my sixth-level equipment refiner does not affect my Dou Zun strength, right?

Just as Jiang Lin left the Xiao family and headed for the Mercenary Guild, Xiao Yan, with a wry smile on his face, was approached by Xiao Xun'er inside the Xiao family, who gave him the Xuanqi Umbrella that she had just 'seized'.

"Brother Xiao Yan, this is the Xuanqi Umbrella that Jiang Lin picked up last time. He has returned it to you." Xiao Xun'er, who had demonstrated her powerful ninth-level Dou Qi talent in the martial arts arena, found Xiao Yan in his small courtyard and handed the Xuanqi Umbrella to him.

“Ah, that’s not necessary, Xun’er.” Xiao Yan looked at the beautiful and low-key Xuanqi Umbrella in his hand, and looked at the girl in front of him whose attitude had not changed in three years with a bit of a smile and a sigh in his heart.

"Just give it to Brother Lin if he wants it. The Xiao family has received a lot of indirect help from him over the years." Although Xiao Yan gradually realized that Jiang Lin was a person who took advantage of opportunities, it was difficult for him to stop him. After all, he was still a very reasonable person and gave him many choices.

"How can that be possible!" Speaking of Jiang Lin, Xiao Xun'er was inexplicably angry. She was the one who got the chance, didn't that make her look stupid?
She is not like Ling Ying, the guy who became autistic after being hit hard!
"Oh well, thanks a lot, Xun'er."
