Chapter 131: Hai Bodong's Conditions

"Oh, buy a map? I was beaten like this because you wanted to buy a map?"

Hai Bodong wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his lips and said with a skeptical expression.

"Weren't you the one who attacked first?" Xiao Ming had a playful look on his face.

Hai Bodong thought about it and realized that this seemed to be the case, and even if he had struck first, he hadn't even won the fight, so his face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

"Believe it or not, this is the truth." Xiao Ming stood up and added, "I think this remnant map in my hand has been cut by you, hasn't it? Tell me, where is the rest? I'll buy it all together."

Hai Bodong, who was sitting on the floor, looked at the map in Xiao Ming's hand and coldly snorted, saying, "Boy, you have good eyesight, you can find something wrong with this map, but back then, I went to a lot of trouble to get this thing, and although I still don't know its exact use after studying it for more than ten years, at least I can know that the secrets it contains are definitely not small. Do you want to buy it? Dream on!"

"Oh?" Seeing Hai Bodong's uncompromising gaze, Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows.

Just as he was about to speak, Zi Yan walked up to him and clenched her small fist.

"Stinky old geezer, are you looking for death?"

Hearing Zi Yan's threat, Hai Bodong's eyelids jumped and he was a little startled, but he continued speaking without changing his tone of voice.

"Child, don't threaten me with death, I've lived most of my lifespan, what haven't I seen? You weren't even born when I was moving rampant through the Jia Ma Empire! Do you think I will be afraid of your threats?"

"Besides, if I die, even if you have great abilities, it will be impossible for you to get the other part of the map, if I'm right, this map must be very important to you, right? heh, without that little fragment of the map, even if you put it together, you won't be able to find the treasure contained in the map."

At the end of the sentence, Hai Bodong even looked somewhat smug, feeling that his earlier procedure of dividing the map turned out to be right.

"You..." Zi Yan was so angry that she was about to step forward and give him another beating right away.

"Hey, I'm warning you, don't do anything rash!"

Seeing that Zi Yan was about to make a move, Hai Bodong hurriedly stepped back.

"Forget it, Zi Yan."

Zi Yan wrinkled her nose in disgust but still stopped at the sound of Xiao Ming's voice.

Xiao Ming took two steps forward and said with a smile, "As far as I know, in the Tager Desert, in the eastern part of the Jia Ma Empire, the only person who was able to turn Your Excellency the Ice Emperor into this current state would be the famous and fierce Queen Medusa of the Snake-People Race, right?"

Actually, Medusa was not the only Dou Emperor of the Snake-People Tribe, besides Medusa, there were five other Dou Emperors in the Snake-People Tribe, four of them were the Great Elders, but they usually did not show themselves to the world, and the other one was not as strong as Medusa, so what Xiao Ming said was correct.

Hearing Medusa's name from Xiao Ming's mouth, a hint of imperceptible panic flashed in Hai Bodong's eyes, then he coldly snorted, "You guessed it, that's right, but so what? Does it have anything to do with this map?"

"Nothing really, but if my perception is correct, this seal of yours was also placed by her, right? This seal has sealed you for decades, don't you want to undo it?"

Hai Bodong naturally wanted to undo it, and during these decades of being sealed, he had secretly collected a sixth-tier pill recipe that could resolve the seal, as well as most medicinal herbs to refine this sixth-tier pill.

However, that pill was a sixth-tier pill, and a Heavenly Flame was required to refine it.

Hai Bodong did not believe that the brat in front of him could find someone to help him refine the pills.

Facing Hai Bodong's gaze, Xiao Ming stretched out his right hand to release a trace of flame and said, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xiao Ming, I am an Alchemist, a sixth-tier Alchemist. I may have a solution for your seal."

"A sixth-tier Alchemist! And this is... A Heavenly Flame!"

As expected, an expression of surprise appeared on Hai Bodong's face.

He had never heard of such a young sixth-tier Alchemist before, let alone seen one.

This was a disciple trained by some ancient power!

"Cough."

Hearing Xiao Ming's cough, Hai Bodong came to his senses, only for a stiff smile to appear on his pale face.

"So... originally, it was Master Xiao Ming, of course, Master Xiao Ming can have the other half of the remnant map, but I have a request."

Seeing how quickly Hai Bodong's face had changed after Xiao Ming declared his identity, a look of envy appeared in the eyes of Xiao Yi Xian, who was watching the show besides him, but sighed at the thought of her own physique.

"What request?"

Hai Bodong licked his lips and said with a strained smile, "I would like to ask Your Excellency to refine a sixth-tier pill."

"As long as you refine that sixth-tier pill, I will give you the remnant map with both hands, and in addition to that, Master will also receive the friendship and favor of a Dou Emperor powerhouse, and after my strength recovers, I will unconditionally help you with one thing."

"Sounds like a good deal." Xiao Ming stared at Hai Bodong with a half-smile.

Hai Bodong felt a little uncomfortable with this stare.

"I accept, but you must know the rules of the Alchemists, you must provide the recipe and medicinal herbs."

Seeing that Xiao Ming agreed, Hai Bodong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his pale old face grew a little bigger as a result.

However, with his withered palms clutching a few strands of beard, Hai Bodong said somewhat awkwardly, "I've already gathered most of the medicinal herbs needed for the recipe, but I'm still missing one."

"This medicinal material is called Sand's Datura, which can only be found in the Tager Desert, the higher the temperature, the easier it is to find it... but as you may know, I cultivate Dou Techniques of ice attribute, and I have the seal placed by Queen Medusa on my body, as soon as I go into the depths of the Tager Desert, she will detect me... so..."

Seeing the embarrassed expression on Hai Bodong's face, Zi Yan beside him said wordlessly.

"Hey, you stinky old geezer, you don't want us to go look for it for you, do you? It's already a loss for Xiao Ming to refine your pill, and you still want us to look for the medicinal materials for you? You're not thinking that your little piece of broken map is too valuable, right?"

Hearing Zi Yan's words, Hai Bodong smiled in embarrassment and hesitated for a long time before he said with some helplessness, "Well, maybe I can give you a little information that interests you."

"Information?" Xiao Ming didn't need to guess to know what he was going to say, it was nothing more than the news of Heavenly Flame.

Indeed, Hai Bodong spread his hands and smiled, "It's about the Heavenly Flame, I wonder if this information can make you help me find the Sand's Datura."

"I'm not interested."

"Ahem..." Hai Bodong choked at Xiao Ming's decisive answer, he didn't expect Xiao Ming to say that, since when did Heavenly Flames become so unattractive to Alchemists!?

Xiao Yi Xian and Zi Yan beside him were also a bit surprised.

Didn't Xiao Ming come to the Tager Desert this time to search for the Heavenly Flame, so why would he say that he wasn't interested?

Although they had doubts in their hearts, neither of them asked, but the next moment, they knew why Xiao Ming had said he wasn't interested.

"I've heard of Heavenly Flame and probably know where it's located, so you'd better give something else in return."

"This..." Hai Bodong did not expect such an outcome, he laughed bitterly and lowered his head in contemplation for a while longer before raising his head and saying, "I am the Grand Elder of the Miteer family of the Jia Ma Empire, as long as you help me find the Sand's Datura, when I return to the Miteer family, I can give you great rewards, how about it?"
