The Power of Auspiciousness

"You brat, you've gone and ruined the Nine-Turn Jade Lotus I was growing again!"

A roar echoed from the distance.

The voice was thunderous; clearly, its owner was in a state of explosive rage.

Ye Ruilin's body stiffened, his footsteps faltered, and he kicked a Gold Soul Coin on the ground before sprinting away.

His mother was a genuine tigress; if he fell into her hands, he would undoubtedly be given a sound thrashing.

"You still dare to run? I'll break your legs, you little..."

Madam Ye watched Ye Ruilin's rapidly retreating back, her fury surging once more.

Just as she prepared to make a move to restrain the boy, she spotted her husband walking into the courtyard.

Ye Zhentian was all smiles; the Qilin Martial Soul his brat had awakened was the only Auspicious White Qilin in the entire clan, and it even possessed Innate Full Soul Power!

If nurtured properly, he would surely become the hope for their Kirin Ye Clan to make a comeback on the continent!

"Where have you been?"

Suddenly, a sinister voice drifted from behind him. Ye Zhentian stopped in his tracks, only to be met with Madam Ye's unfriendly gaze.

Madam Ye leaned in, sniffing the air, and the fire in her eyes burned even brighter.

Ye Zhentian's heart skipped a beat. Had his drinking really been discovered so quickly?

"You still dare to sneak a drink, do you? I'll show you drinking! I'll show you..."

Before Ye Zhentian could react, fists rained down upon him like a meteor shower, each blow landing solidly.

Even though he was the Kirin Douluo, he dared not use his soul power to retaliate against his own wife.

Only when Madam Ye had vented her anger did she cast a cold glance at Ye Zhentian.

"If you drink again, it won't be this simple."

Having said that, she looked toward the small head peeking out from behind the rockery.

"If you mess with the spirit plants I'm growing again, I'll hang you up and beat you!"

Ye Ruilin nodded obediently in a hurry.

Madam Ye let out a cold snort and swept away.

Once she was gone, Ye Ruilin scurried over to his father's side.

"You brat, you're always causing trouble. Why did you have to provoke her? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been caught drinking!"

Ye Zhentian looked at his son, his frustration boiling over.

Ever since this kid awakened his martial soul, he had been imbued with an aura of auspiciousness.

According to the clan elders' observations, the Auspicious White Qilin the boy awakened was no simple matter; it actually contained the power of the divine beast Pixiu!

The power of the Pixiu attracted wealth and treasures, turning bad luck into good fortune.

It had become commonplace for the boy to pick up Gold Soul Coins just by walking down the street.

Even more outrageous was the time he had stumbled upon a thousand-year soul bone.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhentian couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy.

Although he could easily produce such items himself, those were things accumulated by the clan over generations.

How could this kid be so relaxed and carefree, obtaining a soul bone just by taking a stroll?

"Dad, thank goodness you came over."

Ye Ruilin chuckled, hurriedly stepping forward to help Ye Zhentian up.

"The clan elders have discussed it. You awakened the Auspicious White Qilin; according to the experiences of our ancestors, you are destined to become a peerless Douluo-level powerhouse."

"For this soul ring acquisition, the Second Elder is prepared to accompany you."

Mentioning serious business, the expression on Ye Zhentian's face grew more earnest.

Ye Ruilin thought of the clan's records regarding the Qilin Martial Soul, and his brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

Merely enhancing physical strength would be a great insult to the divine beast Qilin.

Seeing his father's serious look, Ye Ruilin didn't directly refute him.

"There's no need for the Second Elder; I'll just take Old Wu with me."

Ye Ruilin pondered for a moment before speaking.

Old Wu was the most loyal servant in the entire Ye family, having volunteered to stay by Ye Ruilin's side.

He was originally only a Soul Douluo, but after receiving a soul bone gifted by Ye Ruilin, he was now a level 90 Title Douluo.

Considering Old Wu's strength, Ye Zhentian did not object.

Logically speaking, Old Wu could have become an external elder of the Ye family long ago, but he refused, wishing only to stay by Ye Ruilin's side.

With him by his son's side, Ye Zhentian felt quite at ease.

Star Dou Forest.

Ye Ruilin looked relaxed, then habitually lifted his foot.

Sure enough, a Gold Soul Coin shimmered brightly beneath his sole.

Old Wu stepped forward with practiced ease.

"Old Wu, according to family tradition, the first spirit ring should be from a bear-type spirit beast capable of enhancing physical defense, right?"

Ye Ruilin scanned his surroundings, though his mind couldn't help but recall the records of the Qilin found in the Taoist classics of his past life.

As a transmigrator, he was naturally no stranger to the Qilin, an ancient divine beast.

There were many varieties of Qilin, each category governing different laws of power. The most famous were the Five Elements Qilin: Gold Qilin, Wood Qilin, Water Qilin, Fire Qilin...

Following those were Qilin possessing special laws, such as the Pixiu, which governed the attraction of wealth and the turning of fortune; the Ink Qilin, which specialized in combat, slaughter, and traversing the yin and yang; and the Milu, which controlled extreme physical power...

And then there was the most noble of all, hidden among the Four Symbols as the fifth spirit, the Yellow Dragon residing in the center!

It was the symbol of ancient imperial power and the Qilin with the highest status!

With thousands of choices available, settling for a mere enhancement of physical strength was truly inferior.

In later generations, Tang Yuge's martial spirit awakened as the Five Elements Qilin, granting her control over the power of the five elements.

This suggested that his own martial spirit was highly likely to evolve further, allowing it to evolve into the Five Elements Qilin while retaining its power of auspiciousness.

The Five Elements Qilin happened to complement the cultivation art he practiced perfectly.

Before transmigrating, Ye Ruilin was the last Purple-Robed Celestial Master of the "Heavenly Derivation Sect," a hidden Taoist lineage of the 21st century.

Having practiced the Primordial Five Elements Creation Art—shortened to Primordial Art—since childhood, it was one of the secret treasures of the Heavenly Derivation Sect.

By cultivating the power of the five elements and mastering the Ten Heavenly Stems, one could command the constellations of the four directions and harness the Four Symbols of heaven!

After transmigrating, Ye Ruilin discovered that the Douluo world was shockingly compatible with the "Jiazi Reincarnation Qi" recorded in the Primordial Art. When he tried practicing the Primordial Art again, it went as smoothly as he had expected.

Unfortunately, upon reaching the age of three, he hit a bottleneck.

It wasn't until his martial spirit awakened that Ye Ruilin found a solution.

By using his own martial spirit as a medium, he could continue to cultivate the Primordial Art while simultaneously driving his martial spirit to evolve into the Five Elements Qilin.

"Be careful."

Lost in thought, Ye Ruilin did not notice the movement ahead.

It wasn't until a fireball came hurtling toward his face.

Old Wu reacted with lightning speed, raising his hand to dissipate the fireball into smoke.

With his five fingers curled into claws, his martial spirit avatar manifested behind him.

A massive Blazing Demon Dog stood majestic and imposing, its cold beastly eyes fixed on the front.

Immediately, Old Wu felt a suppression emanating from the spirit beast ahead.

"Hiss, strange."

Frowning in confusion, Old Wu subconsciously heightened his vigilance.

"Young Master, be careful. My martial spirit seems to feel a suppression coming from the spirit beast ahead."

"I fear the spirit beast in front is no simple creature."

As the two remained on guard, a figure darted rapidly out of the jungle.

At a single glance, Ye Ruilin recognized the spirit beast.

"A Fire Dragon!"

"No, it's a Fire Dragon cub!"

"The scales on its body are as crystalline as jade, and those two small bumps on its snout are clearly dragon horns in the making. This is a pure-blooded descendant of a true dragon! Its entire body is fiery red; it is an offspring of the Fire Dragon King, one of the Nine Great Dragon Kings!"

His voice was laced with faint excitement.

Old Wu had not expected the Young Master's power of auspiciousness to be this potent.

Merely on the outskirts of the Star Dou Forest, they had encountered such a top-tier fire-type spirit beast, and a dragon-type cub with pure blood at that.

He subconsciously observed the surroundings carefully, exhaling in relief when he detected no other terrifying auras.

"Old Wu, strike."

Ye Ruilin made a prompt decision.

Old Wu moved, his martial spirit avatar possessing him as he lunged forward.

The power of a Titled Douluo was not something a 500-year spirit beast could withstand.

The Fire Dragon cub was quickly snatched back by Old Wu as easily as a chick.

Ye Ruilin's eyes were filled with excitement.

"Excellent. If I make this my first spirit ring, it corresponds perfectly to fire, one of the five elements."

"Whether it works or not, I might have the answer very soon."

Ye Ruilin had not expected that a mere preliminary idea in his mind would be met with such a generous gift from the heavens.

The power of auspiciousness was truly formidable!

If he could succeed, his martial soul would evolve into the Five Elements Qilin, granting him mastery over the power of the five elements.

One day, He would surely become the one who governs all changes in this world...

The Lord of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches!
