Chapter 45 Angel Investor, Hai Bodong

Xiao Chong thought about the contents of the original book and recalled.

"Next... let's go find the strange fire..."

"By the way, let's go find an old guy named Hai Bodong."

"Strange fire?!"

Hearing the word "strange fire", Nalan Yanran immediately became interested.

Although she cannot become an alchemist, it does not mean that she will not be interested in things like strange fire!

"Brother Xiao Chong, do you have any news about the strange fire?"

"Yes, but to be precise, it's not me who has it. It's that old guy named Hai Bodong who has it. I'm going to find him now to get the news about the strange fire."

With Xiao Chong's current strength and perception ability, he is far superior to Yao Lao in the soul state, but the strange fire called Qinglian Earth Core Fire is hidden under the desert. The range is too large. Even if he uses his own perception to search for it, it will take at least a month.

It would be better to go to Hai Bodong to get the blueprint, which would be faster.

As for Qinglin, she naturally had an indifferent expression on her face. She would follow the young master wherever he went.

With Xiao Chong's speed, he soon appeared in a shop selling maps.

Inside the shop, an old man with blue hair looked wrinkled all over his face, but his body was surprisingly strong, and a chill lingered beneath his skin.

Xiao Chong glanced at Hai Bodong, who was described as an angel investor in the original novel, and then took Nalan Yanran into the store.

Hai Bodong, who was drawing a map, glanced at Xiao Chong. With his strength, he naturally couldn't feel what Xiao Chong's background was. But when he found that he couldn't see through the young man in front of him at all, Hai Bodong was stunned.

Then, he glanced at Nalan Yanran and Qing Lin who were beside Xiao Chong.

A young and beautiful girl, a snake maid.

Obviously, Xiao Chong was simply regarded as some rich, dandy, and lecherous young man.

"If you want to buy a map, no bargaining!"

"No bargaining, no bargaining, old man, I want this, can you sell it to me?"

Listening to Hai Bodong's painting on the other side of the painting platform, Xiao Chong sucked it casually, and the remaining picture of "Pure Lotus Demon Fire" fell into Xiao Chong's hands.

In an instant, a chill filled the map room. Xiao Chong then waved his hand, and a shield of light enveloped Qing Lin and the other person, preventing the chill from affecting them.

But obviously, Hai Bodong did not notice what Xiao Chong did. The brush in his hand was suddenly frozen into pieces due to the erosion of the cold current.

The old but extremely strong eyes stared at Xiao Chong.

Just now, he could clearly see that Xiao Chong went straight for the incomplete map as soon as he entered his shop. There must be something fishy going on!

"Youngster, do you know the use of this incomplete map?"

"I know!"

Xiao Chong smiled confidently and said, "Not only do I know, but I also have another incomplete map in my hand. Who knows, if we put these two incomplete maps together, we might be able to solve the mystery."

boom!
The chill that had been spreading throughout the entire map room suddenly became even thicker at this moment.

"Youngster! Although I have studied this incomplete map for such a long time and still haven't figured out anything, but when you go out, don't your elders teach you a saying that wealth should not be shown to others!" Xiao Chong: "Of course I know this, but as long as you are strong enough, even if you wear a necklace and bracelet made of ninth-grade elixirs, no one will dare to rob you!"

"Old man, I advise you to think twice before you act."

Seeing Xiao Chong acting so calm and composed even though his aura was fully unleashed, Hai Bodong was suddenly shocked.

Although his strength has now been sealed to the level of a mere Dou Ling, his confidence and arrogance make him not afraid even when facing a Dou Huang.

However, when his aura was confronting that of Xiao Chong, Hai Bodong could feel that his aura was almost completely suppressed.

I was even more puzzled. Where did this old monster come from? Could it be that an old guy who had practiced for hundreds or even thousands of years had used some special means to regain his youth and come to cause trouble?

His vigilance prevented him from being taken over by greed at the first moment. After slightly retracting the cold air he was emitting, Hai Bodong asked.

"You don't look like an ordinary person. Tell me your name. I have been living in seclusion here for so long, and I don't want anyone to suddenly come here and smash my place!"

Looking at Hai Bodong who suddenly became cowardly, Xiao Chong shrugged and said, "He is just an unknown young man, not worth mentioning."

Behind him, Nalan Yanran expressed her dissatisfaction with Xiao Chong's introduction.

"Brother Xiao Chong is not some insignificant junior. You are the real number one genius of our Jia Ma Empire!"

"By the way, old man, I am Nalan Yanran from the Nalan family!"

"You are... a disciple of the new leader of the Yunlan Sect... I have heard of you."

After hesitating for a moment, Hai Bodong quickly recognized Nalan Yanran's identity, and then turned to look at Xiao Chong.

"She is the young master of the Yunlan Sect. Since you have such a close relationship with her, you must be the Xiao family genius who was born with Douhuang strength and made a lot of noise in the Xiao family."

"What a terrifying life."

While sighing, Hai Bodong felt even more frightened.

Although he has been in seclusion, he can still hear some information from the customers who come and go, such as the famous story of the genius of the Xiao family.

Being born as a Douhuang, such news was too shocking for Hai Bodong. Even though he had only heard it once or twice, it was hard not to be impressed.

After all, he had practiced for who knows how many years before he acquired the strength of a Dou Huang. When he heard that Xiao Chong was a Dou Huang when he was just born, he couldn't help but feel extremely depressed.

And now, after actually meeting Xiao Chong, Hai Bodong felt even more terrified.

Judging from his aura, the young man in front of him was even more unfathomable than he had imagined!
Even Queen Medusa, who is almost half a step away from becoming a Dou Zong, is far inferior to this person!
In other words, this kid very likely already possesses the strength of a Dou Zun?
Realizing this, Hai Bodong's face couldn't help but turn a little dark.

Is this what it means to be compared to others and get pissed off? !
However, Hai Bodong understood better that strength was the foundation that determined everything on the Douqi Continent, and any other factors were not a problem.

Thinking of this, Hai Bodong dissipated the coldness around his body, and the smile on his face became a little stiff.

"Mr. Xiao Chong, this is really a rare visitor. What happened just now was just a misunderstanding. Why don't we both take a step back and forget about it?"

"But I can't just let it go like this..."

A stream of energy gathered in Xiao Chong's palm. The next second, Xiao Chong flashed and appeared behind Hai Bodong, and struck Hai Bodong on the chest with his palm.
