The wealth that breaks the sky moves the universe - Chapter 22 Haibodong
As soon as Xiao Yan stepped into the map store called “Gutu”, the fire attribute aura that could not be concealed on his body alerted the old man who was drawing.
The old man couldn’t help but glance at the unfamiliar fire attribute fighting spirit, and then glanced at the alchemist medal with five lines on his chest.
The old man’s hand shook involuntarily, and the map he was drawing was instantly invalidated. However, the old man didn’t care, and stared at Xiao Yan while breathing heavily.
After the old man saw Xiao Yan’s childish face clearly and estimated that Xiao Yan was probably less than twenty years old, he finally couldn’t control himself anymore and forced out a smile:
“As an alchemist, you suddenly came to this snake man’s territory. I’m afraid you got news about the strange fire, right?”
Xiao Yan looked at the old man. He saw that this old man had a terrifying scar from his left cheek to the corner of his eye. Although he tried his best to put on a friendly smile, this scar still made him look more fierce.
“I was mistaken. I thought you were just an ordinary fighting spirit. But now it seems that your aura is weird?”
“Haha, I am not talented. I was once one of the top ten strongest men in the Jia Ma Empire, the Ice Emperor Haibo Dong.”
“Oh, my name is Xiao Yan, a one-star fighting spirit and a fifth-grade alchemist.”
“……”ヽ(‘⌒メ)ノ
“…”⊙_⊙
“Ahem, you don’t seem surprised?” Hai Bodong looked embarrassed.
“(⊙o⊙)Wow! Ice Emperor!” Xiao Yan widened his eyes and took half a step back with a look of horror on his face.
“…Ahem, there is no need to mention the past. I have lived in seclusion here for decades, and I am familiar with the terrain here. And because I have ice attribute Dou Qi, I am extra sensitive to fire attribute energy…”
Haibodong paused, and then continued: “So I drew a map and marked several locations where strange fires may exist.”
“Oh.” Xiao Yan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then continued to look for the map of Tagore Desert in the store.
“…” Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes. He was waiting for Xiao Yan to speak first, so that he could ask for a higher price. It would be best to use a map with information about the strange fire in exchange for the help of this alchemist with unlimited potential.
“How much does this map cost?” Xiao Yan asked, choosing a fairly detailed map.
Haibodong stared at Xiao Yan, trying to see Xiao Yan’s hidden emotions, but he couldn’t see anything, as if Xiao Yan really didn’t care about the strange fire.
But how could the alchemist not care about the strange fire? There is only one explanation. Xiao Yan had already obtained the news about the strange fire, and he only needed a map to compare it. His information was not needed at all.
Thinking of this, Haibodong showed a smile again, gently dug his palms into his arms, and took out a thin piece of parchment.
“I am very interested in drawing maps. I once wandered around the Tagore Desert, and I was lucky enough to get some news about strange fires. After some detection, I found out the locations and routes in these messages. Recording it on this map will definitely be of some help to you.” Hai Dongbo said with a smile.
“However, these are all trivial matters. More than 20 years ago, I also found a fragmented map with a great secret, which led the snake-human Queen Medusa to hunt me down.
“Queen Medusa is the pinnacle of the fighting emperor. Naturally, I was defeated by her in that battle without any surprise. Although I took the opportunity to escape afterwards, I was hit by her snake sealing spell – not only did my body become extremely rapid Due to aging, even his strength has been sealed at the fighting spirit level.”
After saying that, Haibodong walked to a simple wooden shelf in the shop, took down a palm-sized fragment of a picture from it, put it together with the parchment and handed it to Xiao Yan.
Haibodong sighed: “For so many years, I have been hiding here to study the secrets of that fragmented picture, hoping to get some useful things from it to help me break the seal. But after all, this fragmented picture is just a whole picture. It’s a small part, no matter how experienced I am, I can’t possibly crack it!”
Haibodong wiped away the sweat from his palms as if nothing had happened, praying in his heart that this residual picture would impress Xiao Yan.
“Well, the secret of this residual picture is indeed a big secret. I can tell you, but do you dare to listen?”
Duanduan’s airs made Haibodong lose his temper and gave him all his underwear, which made Xiao Yan feel very good and couldn’t help but have a faint smile on his lips.
However, this smile looked particularly terrifying in Haibodong’s eyes, and he quickly said: “Haha, it seems that this residual picture is worth a lot of money. Maybe it is worth it for you to refine a sixth-grade elixir for me in the future?”
Seeing Hai Bodong’s frightened look, Xiao Yan understood something instantly and laughed loudly: “It’s worth it. That’s so worth it. Not to mention the sixth grade, even the seventh and eighth grades are all worth it!”
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Hai Bodong’s forehead, and it couldn’t stop flowing down: “Ahem, I don’t dare to ask for that much. As long as you are willing to refine a sixth-grade elixir for me in the future, it will be enough.”
“Don’t you want to break the seal? You also know that Queen Medusa is only at the peak of Dou Huang. If you can force her to lift the seal for you, one Dou Zong will be enough.”
“Ahem…Ahem, I think it’s easier to refine a sixth-grade elixir than to hire a Dou Zong.”
“In the past few decades, I have found a prescription that can break the seal. As long as I refine the elixir mentioned on it, then I can regain my strength. I don’t need to bother you anymore to hire a Dou Zong. .” Haibodong said in a deep voice.
“Then why don’t you find Furukawa? He is also at the sixth level. If you have news about the strange fire, you can definitely invite him.” Xiao Yan asked.
This made Xiao Yan very confused. Ice Emperor Haibodong was not a member of the Gama royal family and had no hostile relationship with the Yunlan Sect. Moreover, he also had information about the strange fire in his hand. Gu He was definitely willing to refine the elixir for him.
“That elixir needs an alchemist with a different fire to refine it. Pill King Furukawa…he doesn’t have a different fire.”
“Well… before today, I just suspected that there was strange fire in those places, but I couldn’t be sure. If there wasn’t, and I was exposed to everyone, it would be a bit troublesome.” Haibodong scratched his face in embarrassment.
“That’s it.” Xiao Yan nodded, not caring about Haibodong deceiving him with uncertain news, and just said: “When I break through to the sixth level, I will definitely refine the medicine for you – I hope you will take the initiative to give it to me when the time comes. Leave the remaining scraps to me.”
Haibodong was even more embarrassed. He originally wanted to use the remaining half of the residual picture as a trump card, but unexpectedly the opponent discovered it. He could only nod with a smile on his face.
“But you also understand the rules of an alchemist, right? With your current fighting spirit strength, can you gather the precious ingredients for sixth-grade elixirs?” Xiao Yan changed his tone and asked.
