Chapter 53 The remaining picture of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire

He turned his gaze away from Hai Bodong and did not make a sound to interrupt his drawing work. Xiao Ling led Zi Yan towards the shelf where maps were placed in the store.

After searching around casually, he first selected a map of the surrounding towns, and then pulled out a map of the Tagor Desert. After carefully examining it, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being a map drawn by a former Douhuang master. It's not at the same level as other maps. Even some areas of the Tagor Desert are marked. I wonder if this old guy deliberately got lost in the desert before."

After picking up the two maps, Xiao Ling released his soul perception and began to explore the remaining maps of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire hidden in the shop.

Relying on the soul perception ability that has reached the spiritual realm, Xiao Ling quickly discovered a hot energy in the corner of the store. It should be the half of the incomplete map that appeared in the store in the original book. He didn't know where the other half of the incomplete map was hidden by Hai Bodong, and he didn't even find it. This former Douhuang powerful man still has some means.

Walking towards the quaint wooden shelf in the corner of the store, Xiao Ling glanced at it. The wooden shelf was obviously very old, with many holes of rotten wood on it. On top of it, some yellowed maps were randomly piled up. Looking at the broken marks on the surface of these maps, it seemed that they were failed products when making the maps.

He casually flipped through these yellowed maps, and a faint musty smell came to his face. He frowned slightly and threw some failed maps aside. A tattered picture only the size of a palm appeared in front of Xiao Ling.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling was delighted. The incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which ranked third on the Strange Fire List and was a necessary item for taming the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, was actually found in this remote Jia Ma Empire. He grabbed it in his hand and put it into his ring without hesitation. Xiao Ling said, "Old sir, this incomplete map should only be half. I will buy the other half. Name your price."

This sound reached Hai Bodong behind the counter, and he paused slightly in his map-drawing movements. The route he was carefully drawing also showed a slight deviation, and it was obvious that he could not continue drawing. But Hai Bodong didn't care about it at all, and said in a cold tone: "Have you seen such a fragment of a map before?"

Zi Yan, who was standing by, was immediately displeased when she heard the old man's arrogant attitude. She waved her fist and said angrily, "You stinky old man, can't you hear me when I ask you a question?"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong's face turned ugly in an instant. I, Hai Bodong, one of the top ten strongest men in the Gama Empire, the famous Ice Emperor, was actually scolded by a little girl. If others find out about this, will I, Hai Bodong, still have any face?

A burst of icy fighting spirit was released from his body, causing the temperature in the map shop to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant. He looked at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan dimly, and said in a bad tone: "Little girl, haven't your elders told you that if you mess with the wrong people outside, you will lose your life?" Seeing this tense scene, the people who came in to choose maps did not dare to stay here any longer and left the shop one after another.

Just when Zi Yan was about to step forward to take action, Xiao Ling on the side touched her head, pulled her behind him, and then said to Hai Bodong: "Old sir, we are just planning to buy a map. I am a sixth-grade alchemist, and perhaps I can help you remove the seal on your body." He immediately took out the sixth-grade alchemist badge from the ring, put it on his chest, stretched out his right hand, and a golden flame leaped up, emitting a heat that distorted the space, causing the temperature, which had just dropped due to Hai Bodong's release of momentum, to instantly rise a lot.

Hai Bodong on the opposite side saw this scene and felt the heart-pounding temperature. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "A sixth-grade alchemist, and a sixth-grade alchemist with strange fire. How is it possible? You are so young. Which force cultivated this monster? The Gama Empire will never cultivate talents like you." He immediately took back the icy fighting spirit he had released into his body. A sixth-grade alchemist with strange fire can just help him refine the Evil-Breaking Pill. Could it be that the opportunity for my Ice Emperor Hai Bodong to recover lies in this person?

Seeing Hai Bodong restrain his aura, Xiao Ling also retracted the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame into his body and replied with a smile: "My name is Xiao Ling, I am an elder of Canaan College in the Black Horn Region, and a member of the Xiao family in Wutan City of the Jiama Empire."

Since Hai Bodong has been living in seclusion at the edge of the desert for many years and has no contact with anyone in the Mitel family, he has never heard of Xiao Ling's name. However, since the other party introduced himself first, Hai Bodong also said, "I didn't expect that the Jia Ma Empire would produce a monster like you. It's because I am ignorant. My name is Mitel Hai Bodong, and I am the supreme elder of the Mitel family. I was once named the "Ice Emperor". Decades ago, I was sealed by the Queen Medusa of the Snake Tribe because of my fighting spirit, so I lived in seclusion at the edge of this remote desert."

Xiao Ling pretended to be very surprised and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Senior "Ice Emperor". I didn't expect that Senior disappeared for so many years because of such a hidden story."

Waving his hand, Hai Bodong replied indifferently: "It's all in the past, there's no need to mention it again." Then he asked with some expectation: "Master Xiao Ling also saw that the map was incomplete. With many years of map-making experience, I divided it into two pieces and hid the other piece. Unless I take it out, no one can get it. This thing was obtained by me in the Tagor Desert many years ago. For this, I had a fight with Queen Medusa and ended up like this. Based on my knowledge, I think this map is incomplete. The origin must be extraordinary. I have not wasted my time in these years. In order to remove the seal on my body, I found a prescription called Po'e Pill, which can break the seal on my body, but it requires the use of strange fire to refine it. In the Jia Ma Empire, even the guest elder Gu He of the Yun Lan Sect has not subdued the strange fire. Master Guan has a strange fire on his body. As long as Master Xiao Ling can refine a Po'e Pill for me, I will offer the other map with both hands. Otherwise, even if you kill me here, I will not reveal any information about the map. "

Xiao Ling knew Hai Bodong's character, so he had no intention of robbing him. Besides, he was a natural worker, so why not? So he smiled and said to Hai Bodong, "Give me the herbs and prescriptions, and I will help you refine a pill to break the evil. The reward is the other half of the map fragment."
