Chapter 229: Chapter 229 Xiao Xuan’s Final Move, the Xiao Family’s Last Legacy
After Qi Lin applied Purification Divine Light to Xiao Xun'er, he immediately began to instruct her in Dou Qi skills.
With Qi Lin's current understanding of those Dou Qi skills, guiding Xiao Xun'er was incredibly easy.
Under the effect of the Purification Divine Light, Xiao Xun'er, though not achieving sudden enlightenment, had her soul cleansed, allowing her mind to enter a wondrous ethereal state.
In this state, Xiao Xun'er not only cultivated with double the efficiency but also practiced Dou Qi skills with double the efficiency.
What's more, she also had Qi Lin's guidance!
Therefore, under Qi Lin's guidance, it wasn't long before she gained a completely new understanding and mastery of those few Dou Qi skills.
"Qi Lin Gege, you're amazing!"
Under the moonlight, the young girl's face was filled with adoration.
Seeing this, Qi Lin also felt a sense of accomplishment and waved his hand casually.
"Basic operation, you'll get used to it."
Afterward, the two sat on the mountaintop, enjoying the moon and chatting, returning late at night.
On their way back, they happened to encounter Xiao Yan, who was cultivating halfway up the mountain.
The guy was shirtless, alone, but his body was covered in scars, looking as if he had been struck by heavy objects.
"Is Xiao Yan Biao Ge practicing some kind of Dou Qi skill?"
"Such a self-mutilating method looks like a body-refining Dou Qi skill."
Xiao Xun'er and Qi Lin stood not far away, and after witnessing the scars on Xiao Yan's body, Xiao Xun'er immediately analyzed to Qi Lin beside her.
Qi Lin nodded noncommittally.
Xiao Yan should be cultivating Eight Extremities Collapse, and his injuries were clearly caused by Yao Lao, intended to train Xiao Yan's resistance to blows.
Of course, such training must be supplemented with medicinal baths, otherwise, the Dou Qi skill would not be mastered, but the body would be crippled first.
However, Yao Lao, after all, was a top-tier Eighth-grade Alchemist, so it was naturally impossible for him not to know this.
While Qi Lin and Xiao Xun'er were talking, Xiao Yan naturally noticed them.
He took out a piece of clothing from his storage ring and put it on, then walked towards them and greeted them.
"Xun'er Biao Mei, Qi Xiong."
Qi Lin smiled and teased, "Xiao Xiong, seeing you cultivate so diligently, I'm afraid your future is boundless!"
Xiao Yan smiled bitterly, "Qi Xiong is joking. Now I only have one thought, and that is to defeat Nalan Yanran on the day of the Three-Year Agreement."
As he spoke, his eyes became firm, "My current strength is already behind Nalan Yanran. If I don't cultivate diligently, how can I defeat Nalan Yanran at the Three-Year Agreement?"
"Nalan's annulment of the engagement, I don't care about it, but she brought great humiliation to me, my father, and even the Xiao Family. I must wash away this humiliation, so I cannot lose."
Qi Lin smiled without speaking, giving Xiao Yan a thumbs-up.
"You have ambition, keep it up!"
"Succeed or not, you'll know after trying!"
In Qi Lin's view, Nalan Yanran's act of annulling the engagement itself was not wrong, after all, she even brought a Fourth-grade medicinal pill, Qi Gathering Powder, as compensation.
Her real mistake was not to make the annulment public.
If it had been a private annulment, given the Qi Gathering Powder, the Xiao Family would definitely have been happy.
After all, Xiao Yan, whose strength had regressed to Dou Qi Stage Three, was indeed not worthy of Nalan Yanran.
Therefore, it was only right for Xiao Yan to seek revenge now.
Seeing this, a hint of emotion flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes.
Ever since he and Nalan Yanran made the Three-Year Agreement, everyone felt that he was overestimating himself and inviting humiliation.
Although his father always comforted him, Xiao Yan could still tell that he probably didn't think he could defeat Nalan Yanran.
Only Qi Xiong!
From Qi Lin's eyes, Xiao Yan could see that he truly believed he had a chance to defeat Nalan Yanran!
Qi Lin: Having seen the answer, how could I not believe it?
Xiao Xun'er initially didn't think Xiao Yan could defeat Nalan Yanran in the Three-Year Agreement, but since Qi Lin Gege believed in Xiao Yan, then Xiao Yan might indeed have some chance of defeating Nalan Yanran.
So she also learned from Qi Lin and encouraged him with a faint smile, "Xiao Yan Biao Ge, keep it up!"
Xiao Yan laughed loudly, "Then I'll take your good wishes!"
…
A few days later, Qi Lin approached Xiao Zhan again and told him about the incomplete cultivation techniques and Dou Qi skills in the Dou Qi Skill Pavilion.
Xiao Zhan listened and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, young friend, my Xiao Family used to have some origins. When my father was still alive, it was once a prominent family in the Jia Ma Empire, but unfortunately, it has declined now."
"As for further back, I'm not clear. Perhaps our Xiao Family indeed had some origins before, and those incomplete cultivation techniques you mentioned were left behind from that time. It's a pity they are too incomplete, so no one cultivated them, but I didn't expect you to see them."
Qi Lin smiled faintly. Those incomplete cultivation techniques and Dou Qi skills had basically been deduced and restored by him. He couldn't say they were exactly the same as the originals, but their grade should be no lower than the originals.
He speculated that the cultivation techniques and Dou Qi skills he had deduced and perfected would be at least of the Profound Tier High-grade, and the higher-grade ones would definitely reach the Earth Tier.
As for Heaven Tier cultivation techniques and Dou Qi skills, even if the Xiao Family had them, they would definitely be sealed by special means.
Otherwise, they would most likely be lost like other cultivation techniques and Dou Qi skills.
Therefore, Qi Lin brought up this matter to Xiao Zhan, hoping to find the sealed cultivation techniques and Dou Qi skills of the Xiao Family.
Xiao Zhan, though skeptical, still agreed to Qi Lin's request.
Because even if Qi Lin really found the high-grade cultivation techniques and Dou Qi skills left by their ancestors, it would definitely be beneficial and harmless to the Xiao Family.
Thus, Xiao Zhan directly led Qi Lin to the Xiao Family's treasury.
After opening the door, he directly led Qi Lin to the deepest row of shelves.
On the shelves, there were either ordinary iron pieces, or oddly shaped jade pendants, and unadorned yellow parchment drawings.
"Young friend, these are the oldest relics of the Xiao Family, passed down through generations, but as for their specific special qualities, even the successive patriarchs of my Xiao Family, generation after generation, have never been able to figure out their exact purpose."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Initially, after he became patriarch, he also studied these ancient relics for a period, but unfortunately, it all came to nothing, and he could only give up, letting them gather dust in the Xiao Family's treasury.
After listening, Qi Lin, after informing Xiao Zhan, casually picked up an iron piece.
Then, a vertical eye suddenly opened on Qi Lin's forehead.
Qi Lin Heavenly Eye!
In an instant, a brilliant golden light shot from the vertical eye on Qi Lin's forehead into the iron piece.
The Qi Lin Heavenly Eye can seek dragons and perceive qi, ignore barriers, and see through all illusions.
This technique immediately startled Xiao Zhan, who was beside him, making him tremble from the depths of his soul.
What kind of Dou Qi skill was this?
Such a powerful oppressive feeling!
At the same time, Qi Lin also received a piece of soul information from the iron piece.
After reading the soul information, Qi Lin chuckled softly.
"I didn't expect there really to be a legacy!"
Xiao Zhan, who was beside him, heard Qi Lin's words and immediately said with surprise, "Young friend, is that true?"
Qi Lin nodded.
Recorded in this iron piece was a Dou Qi skill legacy.
Heaven Tier Low-grade, Great Sun Blazing Body.
