Fighting against the sky, making money and moving the universe

Chapter 22 Haibo East

As soon as Xiao Yan stepped into the map shop named "Ancient Map", the undisguised fire attribute aura on his body alarmed the old man who was drawing.

The old man involuntarily cast a glance at the strange fire-attribute fighting spirit, and then glanced at the alchemist's medal with five lines on his chest.

The old man's hand couldn't help shaking, and the map he was drawing was instantly invalidated, but the old man didn't care, and stared at Xiao Yan breathing heavily.

After the old man saw Xiao Yan's immature face clearly, and guessed that Xiao Yan might not be 20 years old, he finally couldn't hold it anymore, and squeezed out a smiling face:
"As a pharmacist, you suddenly came to this snake man's territory, I'm afraid you have obtained news about the strange fire?"

Xiao Yan sized up the old man. There was a terrifying scar from the left cheek to the corner of the eye. Although he tried his best to squeeze out a friendly smile, this scar still added a bit of fierceness to him.

"I was mistaken, I thought it was just an ordinary fighting spirit, but now it seems that your aura is weird?"

"Hehe, this old man is not talented. He used to be one of the top ten powerhouses in the Jia Ma Empire, the Ice Emperor Haibodong."

"Oh, my name is Xiao Yan, a one-star Dou Ling, a fifth-rank pharmacist."

"..."ヽ('⌒メ)ノ

"..."⊙_⊙

"Ahem, you don't seem surprised?" Hai Bodong was embarrassed.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow! Ice Emperor!" Xiao Yan's eyes widened, and he took half a step back with a look of horror.

"...Ahem, I don't 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-type grudges, I am extra sensitive to fire-type energy..."

Hai Bodong paused for a moment, and then continued: "So I drew a map and marked a few places where there might be different fires."

"Oh." Xiao Yan nodded, indicating that he knew it, and then continued to look for the map of the Tagore Desert in the shop.

"..." Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes, he was waiting for Xiao Yan to speak first, so that he could ask for a higher price, and it would be better if he could use a map with information about different fires, and then get the help of this pharmacist with great potential.

"How much is this map?" Xiao Yan asked, picking out a fairly detailed map.

Hai Bodong 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 pharmacist not care about the strange fire? There is only one explanation. Xiao Yan had already obtained the news of the strange fire.

Thinking of this, Hai Bodong showed a smiling face again, and gently reached out with his palm in his bosom, 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 the different fires. I have done some detection of the locations and routes in these news, and all Recording it on this map must be of some help to you." Hai Dongbo laughed.

"However, these are trivial things. More than 20 years ago, I found a fragmented map with great secrets, which caused the snake-human Queen Medusa to hunt and kill me.

"Queen Medusa is the pinnacle of the Dou Huang. 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 Curse—not only did my body quickly Aging, even the strength is sealed at the fighting spirit level."

After speaking, Hai Bodong walked to a simple wooden shelf in the shop, took out a hand-sized residual picture from it, put it together with the parchment and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Hai Bodong sighed: "For so many years, I have been hiding here to study the secrets of that fragmented image, hoping to get some useful things from it to help me break the seal. But this fragmented image is only a part of a whole image after all. A small part, no matter how experienced I am, it is impossible to crack it!"

Hai Bodong wiped off the sweat on his palms as if nothing had happened, and prayed 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?"

Hai Bodong couldn't hold back his airs, and gave away all his underpants, which made Xiao Yan feel very good, and couldn't help but hang a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, this smile looked extremely terrifying in Hai Bodong's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "Haha, it looks like this residual picture is worth a lot, maybe it's worth you to refine a sixth-grade elixir for me in the future?"

Seeing Hai Bodong's fearful look, Xiao Yan instantly understood something, and laughed loudly and said, "It's worth it, it's really worth it, not to mention the sixth rank, even the seventh and eighth rank, it's all worth it!"

Cold sweat broke out on Hai Bodong's forehead, and he couldn't stop streaming: "Ahem, I don't dare to ask for so 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 the pinnacle of the Dou Huang. If you want to force her to break the seal for you, one Dou Zong is enough."

"Ahem...ahem, I think it's easier to refine a sixth-grade pill than to invite a Douzong."

"During the past few decades, I have found a prescription that can break the seal. As long as I refine the elixir mentioned above, then I will be able to restore my strength, and I don't need to bother you to invite a Douzong." .” Hai Bodong said in a deep voice.

"Then why didn't you find Gu He? He is also a sixth rank. If you have news about the strange fire, you can definitely invite him." Xiao Yan asked.

This made Xiao Yan very puzzled. The Ice Emperor Haibodong was not a member of the Jiama royal family, and he had no hostile relationship with the Misty Cloud Sect. Moreover, he had information about the strange fire in his hand. Furukawa was absolutely willing to refine the elixir for him.

"The elixir needs a pharmacist who has a different fire to refine it. Pill King Furuhe...he doesn't have a different fire."

"Eh... Before today, I only suspected that there were strange fires in those places, but I wasn't sure. If there wasn't, and I was exposed to everyone, it would be a little troublesome." Hai Bodong scratched his face in embarrassment.

"So that's how it is." Xiao Yan nodded, and didn't care about Hai Bodong's use of uncertain news to fool himself, he just said: "When I break through to the sixth rank, I will definitely refine medicine for you—and I hope you will take the initiative to make medicine for you when the time comes." Give me the rest of the remaining pictures."

Hai Bodong was even more embarrassed. He wanted to use the remaining half of the map as his hole card, but he was discovered by the opponent, so he could only smile and nod in agreement.

"But you also understand the rules of a pharmacist, don't you? With the medicinal materials of the sixth-grade elixir, with your current strength of Dou Ling, can you gather those precious medicinal materials?" Xiao Yan changed his tone and asked.
