Chapter 69: Refining the Blood Lotus Pill
Hai Bo Dong's expression stiffened.
How did he know I was carrying this map fragment on me?
After storing the map fragment in his system space, Su Yun coldly smiled at Hai Bo Dong.
"Mr. Hai, you better help me find the Heavenly Flame in the Tagore Desert first. Rest assured, once I obtain the Heavenly Flame, I will help you find the Sand Mandala and a six-star alchemist who possesses a Heavenly Flame."
Hai Bo Dong's face turned red with frustration.
"No, I see no sincerity in this. You first bring me the Sand Mandala and the six-star alchemist with a Heavenly Flame!"
Su Yun's face grew colder.
"Allowing you to sit here and negotiate with me is the greatest sincerity I can show."
Hai Bo Dong, feeling helpless, indeed realized his position. If Su Yun chose to force his way, he had no means to resist. However, the location of the Heavenly Flame was his last bargaining chip, and he wanted to push a little further.
Sensing Hai Bo Dong's reluctance, Su Yun stated indifferently.
"Once I refine the Heavenly Flame, obtaining a six-star alchemist with a Heavenly Flame will naturally follow, and as for the Sand Mandala, I will make another trip to the Snake People's territory."
Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong leaped from his chair, staring at Su Yun's excessively young face, incredulous.
"You're a six-star alchemist?!"
"Of course," Su Yun replied.
Which power has cultivated such a monster!
Hai Bo Dong sat back down, seemingly contemplating whether to believe Su Yun or not, his face showing struggle.
"Mr. Hai, haven't you realized? There's only one option, isn't there? What happened to the prowess of the once feared Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong? Have you lost all your courage?"
Su Yun's calm words felt like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Hai Bo Dong, as if making up his mind, hardened his expression, ready to take a gamble! As Su Yun said, he now had only one choice – to believe in Su Yun, or he wouldn't live to see another day.
Resignedly, Hai Bo Dong took out a meticulously drawn map from his spatial ring.
Su Yun received the map and spread it out. Three locations marked with flames appeared before him.
A smile flickered in Su Yun's heart.
He couldn't remember everything; the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame had slipped his mind.
But with this map, finding the Green Lotus Core Flame would be much simpler.
At this moment, Hai Bo Dong spoke up.
"When my strength was unsealed, I had traveled through the Tagore Desert for some time. These three places on the map have unusually high fire attribute energy. If there are places in the desert that might contain Heavenly Flames, it would be these three. It might not be entirely accurate, but it's far more efficient than wandering the desert alone."
Hai Bo Dong pointed at the three flame marks on the map.
Seemingly worried about Su Yun dying midway and his own efforts going to waste, Hai Bo Dong cautioned.
"The flame mark marked on the west of this map, it's best to leave it for last. It's very close to the depths of the Tagore Desert, where many Snake People are gathered."
Su Yun nodded, then took out another bottle of healing medicine from his system space.
"Then, thank you, Mr. Hai. I apologize for today's offenses; it was an absolute necessity. I hope the Ice Emperor will forgive me."
Chapter 70: Refining the Blood Lotus Pill (First Update!)
Hai Bo Dong's eyes twitched slightly.
Taking advantage of me and still acting smart.
After Su Yun left the map shop, Hai Bo Dong watched his departing figure, muttering to himself.
"Are the young people outside so powerful nowadays? So young, yet already at the Dou Spirit level, and his physical body is comparable to a fourth-order magical beast."
His keen perception allowed him to realize how strong Su Yun truly was. This was also because he had once reached the Dou Emperor level and his body had been tempered by Dou Emperor level Dou Qi. Otherwise, Su Yun's initial sword strike would have left any ordinary Dou Spirit powerless, greatly reducing their combat effectiveness.
"And he's also a six-star alchemist, tsk."
On the other side, Su Yun looked at the darkening sky, not seeking an inn to rest, but instead finding a secluded corner and entering his system space.
Taking out the map again, Su Yun looked at the three flame marks and fell into deep thought.
He indeed didn't know which one was the exact location.
Being new to the area marked on the map, he wouldn't be able to find it.
But this didn't matter; he had already inquired about the whereabouts of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li at the Xiao family.
Stone Desert City!
Finding those two brothers would make everything easier.
Although he couldn't recall the exact location, he roughly knew that the true location of the Green Lotus Core Flame was near the flame mark closest to those brothers!
Su Yun set the map aside, prepared all the ingredients for refining the Blood Lotus Pill, and placed the alchemy cauldron in front of him.
Adjusting his state, Su Yun took a deep breath.
His Dou Qi surged, and a purple flame appeared in his palm as he began refining the Blood Lotus Pill.
Having just entered the Dou Spirit realm, refining the Blood Lotus Pill required him to be in the best state, well-prepared, and cautious.
The purple flame was a sixth-order beast flame, slightly increasing the success rate.
It's worth mentioning that when Xiao Yan was at Canaan College and still an eight-star great Dou Master, he had already refined the Dragon Strength Pill, advancing to a five-star alchemist.
But that was because he had the assistance of the Green Lotus Core Flame; otherwise, with the cultivation of a great Dou Master, it would have been impossible.
The difference between him and Xiao Yan at the same realm was actually in the possession of a Heavenly Flame.
Su Yun was already very content; Xiao Yan was still lingering at the Three-Star Dou Qi, far behind him.
Su Yun took out the ingredients and started refining them one by one with the purple flame.
Time flew by. The difficulty of refining a fifth-grade medicinal pill was immense, and it took a long time. After a day, he finally reached the final pill condensing stage.
The Blood Lotus Pill gradually took shape, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance that filled the entire system space, shining a faint red light that illuminated the space.
A phenomenon of successful pill formation!
When a fifth-grade medicinal pill was successfully refined, it produced a phenomenon of formation.
If it were in the outside world, it would undoubtedly cause a great sensation and even attract desperados trying to seize it.
However, being in the system space, Su Yun didn't have to worry about these issues.
Su Yun reached out and grabbed the Blood Lotus Pill in his hand.
The pill was still warm, and a trace of fatigue flickered between Su Yun's eyebrows.
Refining a fifth-grade medicinal pill not only consumed Dou Qi but was also a significant test of the alchemist's soul power.
After resting for a night, Su Yun left the system space and exited the city.
With the map marking the location of the Green Lotus Core Flame and the Blood Lotus Pill refined, excitement flickered in Su Yun's eyes.
Things were progressing smoothly. As these tasks were completed one by one, the Green Lotus Core Flame was getting closer to him!
Leaving the city, Su Yun activated both the Phantom Technique and the Purple Cloud Wings. His final destination was Stone Desert City!
