"Haha, buy a map? Buy a map and beat me like this?"
Haibodong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with doubt on his face.
"Didn't you make the first move?" Xiao Ming looked amused.
Haibodong thought about it and found that it seemed to be the case. It didn't matter if he struck first. He hadn't won the battle yet, and his face suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth." Xiao Ming stood up, and then said: "You should have cut the residual picture in my hand, right? Tell me, where is the rest? I bought it together. .”
Hai Bodong, who was sitting on the ground, recovered a lot after a while of buffering.
He looked at the map in Xiao Ming's hand and snorted coldly, saying: "Boy, you have a good eye, you can find something wrong with this map. However, I worked hard to get this thing back then, even though I have been studying it for more than ten years. I still don’t know what its exact purpose is, but I can at least know that the secrets it contains are definitely not small, so I want to give it to you for no reason, just dream!”
"Oh?" Seeing Haibodong's tough look, Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows.
Just as he was about to speak, Zi Yan walked up to him and clenched her fists.
"Smelly old man, are you looking for death?"
Hearing Zi Yan's threat, Hai Bodong's eyelids twitched and he was a little frightened, but he still said calmly:
"Little girl, don't threaten me with death. I've lived for most of my life, and I haven't seen any storms. When I was running rampant in the Jia Ma Empire, you weren't even born yet! Am I still afraid of this threat from you?"
"Moreover, if I die, even if you have the ability to reach the sky, you will not be able to get another small fragment of the map. If my guess is correct, this map should be very important to you, right? Hehe, when the time comes, Without that small part of the map, even if you put the map together completely, you still won't be able to find the treasures contained in the map."
Speaking of the latter part, Haibodong was a little proud, feeling that his previous method of dividing the map was extremely correct.
"You..." When did Zi Yan feel this angry? She immediately stepped forward and punched Hai Bo Donglai.
"Hey, I'm warning you not to mess around!"
Seeing Zi Yan making a move, Hai Bodong quickly retreated.
"Forget it, Zi Yan."
When Zi Yan heard Xiao Ming's voice, she wrinkled her nose unhappily, but still stopped.
Xiao Ming took two steps forward and said with a smile: "As far as I know, in the Tagore Desert in the eastern part of the Jiaji Empire, the only one who can turn the Ice Emperor into what he is now is the famous Meidu of the Snake Tribe. Queen Shah, right?"
In fact, Medusa is not the only powerful fighting emperor of the snake people. In addition to Medusa, there are five fighting emperors. However, except for four of them, they are supreme elders of the snake people and do not usually appear in the world. The other one is not as strong as It's not like Medusa, so what Xiao Ming said is correct.
Hearing the name Medusa from Xiao Ming's mouth, Hai Bodong's eyes flashed with a hint of unnoticeable panic, and then he snorted coldly: "You guessed it, yes, but so what, what does it have to do with this map? ."
"Actually, it doesn't matter. However, if my perception is correct, she also put this seal on you, right? This seal has sealed you for decades, don't you want to break it?"
Hai Bodong naturally thought that during the decades of being sealed, he secretly collected a recipe for a sixth-grade elixir that could lift the seal, as well as many medicinal materials for refining this sixth-grade elixir.
However, that elixir is a sixth-grade elixir, and it also requires strange fire to refine.
Hai Bodong didn't believe that the young boy in front of him could find someone to help him refine the elixir.
Facing Hai Bodong's gaze, Xiao Ming stretched out his right hand and released a trace of flame, saying, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Xiao Ming, an alchemist, a sixth-grade alchemist. Maybe I can find a way to seal your seal."
"Sixth-grade alchemist! And this is... strange fire!"
As expected, Haibodong's face showed a look of shock.
He has never heard of, let alone seen, such a young sixth-grade alchemist. Well, this is a disciple trained by some ancient force!
"Ahem." Amid Xiao Ming's cough, Haibodong came back to his senses and saw a stiff smile on his old face.
"...Originally it was Master Xiao Ming. Master Xiao Ming can get the other half of the remaining pictures, but I have a request."
Seeing how quickly Haibodong changed his face after Xiao Ming revealed his identity, the little fairy doctor watching the show next to her had a look of envy in her eyes, but she sighed when she thought about her own physical condition.
"What request?"
Haibodong licked his lips and said with a dry smile: "I would like to ask you to refine a sixth-grade elixir."
"As long as you refine the sixth-grade elixir, I will give you the residual picture with both hands. In addition, the master can also get the friendship and favor of a strong Douhuang warrior. When my strength recovers, I can help you make one unconditionally. thing."
"This sounds like a good deal." Xiao Ming looked at Hai Bodong with a half-smile.
Haibodong felt a little uncomfortable with this look.
"I agreed, but you should know the rules of an alchemist. Bring your own prescriptions and medicinal materials. Please hand over the Eastern and Western prescriptions and medicinal materials."
Seeing Xiao Ming nod, Haibodong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on his old face became a little brighter.
However... Holding a few strands of beard in his dry palms, Hai Bodong said with some embarrassment: "I have gathered most of the medicinal materials needed for the prescription, but there is still one missing."
"This medicinal material is called Sand Datura. It can only be found in the Tagore Desert. The higher the temperature, the easier it is to find it... But you know, I practice ice-based techniques, and There is a seal from Queen Medusa in my body. As soon as I step into the depths of the Tagore Desert, she will notice it... so..."
Seeing Hai Bodong's embarrassed expression, Zi Yan next to her said speechlessly:
"Hey, stinky old man, you don't want us to find it for you, do you? Xiao Ming has already lost money just by refining medicine for you, and you want us to find medicinal materials for you. Your little scrap of a broken map, right? Is it too valuable?"
In fact, the value of the remnant picture of the strange fire was very great, but Hai Bodong didn't know that.
Hearing Zi Yan's words, Hai Dongbo smiled, hesitated for a long time, and then said helplessly: "Okay, maybe I can give you some information that will be of interest to you."
"Information?" Xiao Ming knew what he wanted to say without having to guess. It was nothing more than strange fire.
Hai Bodong spread his hands and said with a smile: "Regarding the strange fire, I wonder if this information can help me find the Sand Mandala?"
"Not interested in."
"Ahem..." Haibodong was choked by Xiao Ming's decisive answer. He didn't expect Xiao Ming to say this. When did the attraction of alien fire to alchemists become so low!
The little medical fairy and Zi Yan next to them were also a little surprised.
Didn't Xiao Ming come to the Tagor Desert this time just to find the strange fire? Why did he say he was not interested?
Although they had doubts in their hearts, the two of them did not ask, but the next moment they knew why Xiao Ming said he was not interested.
"I've heard about the strange fire a long time ago, and I also roughly know the location of the strange fire. You'd better exchange it for something else."
"This..." Haibodong didn't expect such a result. He smiled bitterly, lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I am the Supreme Elder of the Miter family of the Jiaji Empire. As long as you help me find Sha Mandala, when I return to Miter, I can give you enough reward, how about it?"
