Chapter 89: Collecting Demon Cores
Hai Bodong snorted coldly, but didn't respond.
At this moment, another elderly man in coarse robes spoke up.
"Ice Old Man, it's been decades. How about we have a spar too?"
This man was the guardian of the Jia Ma Empire, Jia Xingtian.
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong's expression changed.
"Old monster, let's forget about it. I'm tired today."
Jia Xingtian didn't say much either, a faint smile on his face as he gathered Dou Qi in his palm and struck out.
Hai Bodong hurriedly created a mirror of ice in front of him to block it.
Jia Xingtian was a Nine-Star Dou Emperor, much stronger than Hai Bodong.
Facing Jia Xingtian's attack, Hai Bodong could only respond awkwardly.
The fluctuations of their battle were different from Hai Bodong's one-sided beating of Miteer Tengshan earlier.
The aftermath of their battle swept across the sky above the Imperial Capital, with dense earth-yellow and frosty Dou Qi clashing, stirring up waves of turbulence.
After fighting for a while, they finally separated, revealing their respective figures.
Hai Bodong was panting heavily, his aura in disarray, obviously having suffered in the recent battle.
"Ice Old Man, it seems your strength has greatly declined after all these decades."
Jia Xingtian laughed heartily and said to Hai Bodong.
Jia Xingtian's aura was stable, without much fluctuation.
Hai Bodong snorted coldly, not saying a word, his face showing a bit of embarrassment.
Jia Xingtian looked at Hai Bodong with some surprise in his eyes.
Nowadays, Hai Bodong only had the strength of a Two-Star Dou Emperor. It seemed that he hadn't been living a good life for the past few decades.
Fa Ma stroked his beard, also looking at Hai Bodong with some puzzlement in his eyes.
"Ice Old Man, where have you been these years?"
When Hai Bodong fought with Miteer Tengshan earlier, because he didn't need to use his full strength, and even needed to suppress it slightly to avoid killing Miteer Tengshan, the fluctuations of Dou Qi were not very obvious, so they didn't notice it.
Now, in the battle against Jia Xingtian, when they both fought with all their might, the Dou Qi fluctuations were so intense that they couldn't be concealed, and they finally discovered that Hai Bodong's strength had greatly declined.
At the words, Hai Bodong looked helpless and waved his hand.
"The past is not worth mentioning, let's leave it at that."
At this moment, Jia Xingtian asked.
"Ice Old Man, what are your plans this time you've returned?"
Hai Bodong crossed his arms, his aura slightly stabilized, still maintaining the demeanor of a master.
"Don't worry, I won't take back control of the Miteer Family this time I'm back. I'm old, and I don't have the energy for that anymore."
Hai Bodong glanced at Jia Xingtian.
This old monster was essentially worried that he would come back and, with his support, the Miteer Family would threaten the position of the royal family.
He was very clear about his intentions.
Jia Xingtian nodded.
"Well, us old folks should rest too. Let's leave some room for the younger generation to shine."
Hai Bodong couldn't be bothered to expose him, mainly because he couldn't win against him.
Fa Ma and Jia Xingtian chatted with Hai Bodong for a few more words before leaving.
"Alright, let's all disperse."
Hai Bodong said to the two remaining Dou Kings.
Chapter 90: Gathering Demon Cores (Third Update!)
These two individuals were the Dou Kings of the other two major families of the Jia Ma Empire, Nalan Jie and Mu Chen.
They nodded to Hai Bodong and then left with their Dou Qi wings.
Su Yun appeared in the courtyard again, watching their departing figures.
It was still four to five years away from the Alchemist Grand Meeting of the Jia Ma Empire. Nalan Jie's seal of poison was still barely suppressing him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here to strut around.
However, it was probably quite serious already. From his sensing, this old guy's aura was quite unstable.
Su Yun's face bore a slight smile, feeling quite envious of the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva.
With this item, he would essentially possess a direct ticket to become a Seventh Grade Alchemist. As long as his cultivation reached the required level and he transferred the memories of the Medicine Elder, he could reach the realm of a Seventh Grade Alchemist!
The next day.
Su Yun found Hai Bodong.
"Hai Bodong."
"Yeah."
Hai Bodong nodded, waiting for his next words.
"Do you have any Fifth Grade Demon Cores?"
Hai Bodong was taken aback, then took out two Fifth Grade Demon Cores from his storage ring.
"A few years ago, I did kill two Fifth Grade Demon Beasts. Do you want them?"
Su Yun looked at the two Fifth Grade Demon Cores in Hai Bodong's hand.
One was of the wood attribute, and the other was of the ice attribute.
Su Yun nodded and took out a gold coin card from his storage ring.
"The gold coins in here should be enough to buy these two Fifth Grade Demon Cores. Thank you, Hai Bodong."
Hai Bodong handed the two Fifth Grade Demon Cores to Su Yun, but he didn't take the gold coin card.
"There's no need for the gold coins. I don't need these two Fifth Grade Demon Cores myself, and during this time, they were just spoils of war. Consider them a gift to you."
Hai Bodong's expression was calm, but his heart was actually bleeding.
Two Fifth Grade Demon Cores were quite valuable. With them, he could have exchanged for a high-grade Dou Technique suitable for him.
But he had already boarded Su Yun's boat, and he had no intention of getting off.
Consider it an investment.
Su Yun smiled and put the two Fifth Grade Demon Cores and the gold coin card into the system space.
Hai Bodong was trustworthy.
In fact, when he was refining the Calamity Breaking Pill for Hai Bodong, he had copied Elder Yao's method and subtly mixed in some of the Green Lotus Core Flame's sub-flame.
It was also a layer of insurance for Hai Bodong.
This sub-flame, once detonated, could instantly shatter Hai Bodong's heart.
This was also why he was at ease bringing Hai Bodong with him and even exposing Little Fairy in front of him.
Because he could take Hai Bodong's life at any time!
This Green Lotus Core Flame sub-flame would automatically dissipate within three years.
These three years were for his own growth.
Three years later, no matter what, he would have reached the pinnacle of the Dou King level, and with his overall configuration, he could definitely contend with Dou Emperors.
"Hai Bodong, I wonder if all the Demon Cores in the Miteer Family can be given to me?"
Hai Bodong frowned.
"What do you need so many Demon Cores for?"
Su Yun smiled without saying a word, just quietly looking at Hai Bodong.
Seeing Su Yun's appearance, Hai Bodong understood that he had asked the wrong question.
After thinking for a while, Hai Bodong said.
"If you need so many Demon Cores, the financial chain of the Miteer Family will probably have problems in the short term if I give them all to you."
He still had some feelings for the Miteer Family after all, and he didn't want Su Yun to be in such a hurry.
After pondering for a while, Hai Bodong continued.
"If you're not in a hurry, I can let Miteer Tengshan give you all the Demon Cores that the Miteer Family can spare without affecting its normal operation. Later, I can also mobilize the power of the Miteer Family to help you search for more Demon Cores. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Su Yun nodded.
He wasn't in such a hurry anyway. As long as he collected a large number of Demon Cores before he headed to the Canaan Academy, it would be fine.
Seeing this, Hai Bodong breathed a sigh of relief. If Su Yun was in urgent need, he would have immediately instructed the Miteer Family to send all the Demon Cores over.
But since there was a win-win solution, he also didn't want the Miteer Family to encounter problems.
