Of course, if Xiao Yan can find another strange fire and successfully devour it, this time will undoubtedly be greatly shortened.
"Abnormal fires..." Xiao Yan sighed softly. These strange fires at the bottom are okay, but the strange fires at the top are almost all controlled by those ancient races. The strange fires at the top are almost all controlled by those ancient races. In addition to the mysterious fire that ranks first on the list, there are only the third pure lotus demon fire and the fifth fire of life that are not owned by ancient races.
It is not easy to tame the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire. If Xiao Yan in his previous life had not been lucky enough to gather those fragments of pictures, it would have been impossible to refine it. As for the Flame of Life... I don’t even know what this thing is. place, he vaguely remembered hearing that Old Shennong had this kind of strange fire in his previous life, but later when the Yao clan was destroyed, this kind of flame was also lost...
"Forget it, let's wait until we get to Zhongzhou to talk about that kind of thing later." Xiao Yan shook his head. Even if he found them now, he still wouldn't be able to tame them, so it would be more reliable to take them step by step.
Because he was carrying a green scale, Xiao Yan did not choose to use his fighting energy to transform into wings to fly over this time. Instead, he took Qing Scale to ride on a flying bird and beast called the thick-winged bird. Xiao Yan himself actually He was unwilling to ride on this kind of flying beast, for no other reason than it was too slow. However, in order to prevent Qing Lin from being frightened during the flight, he still took this kind of transportation honestly.
In fact, if Xiao Yan takes the alchemist level badge, he can ride on a higher-level flying monster. However, an alchemist of about ten years old is enough to cause a huge sensation in the Jiama Empire, even if he does not reveal that he is a five-year-old. This is also true for a sixth-grade alchemist who only presents himself as a first-grade alchemist.
Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Yan could only ride on the flying bird and beast honestly with Qing Lin. Different from Xiao Yan's boring attitude, Qing Lin was very excited. She has grown so big. This is the first time for me to travel far away, let alone on a flying mount like this.
"Master Xiao Yan, where are we going this time?" Qing Lin asked, looking at the scenery outside the window.
"The Tagor Desert, I'm going to go there to practice for a while and find some things along the way." Xiao Yan said helplessly.
In fact, Qing Lin called him "Sir" at first, but he didn't like this title, so he asked her to change it. He originally wanted to recognize her as his sister, but the title "brother" reminded Xiao Yan subconsciously of his previous life. Hun Dai'er, so in the end, she compromised and used the title "Master Xiao Yan", and Qing Lin became Xiao Yan's maid.
When he heard this title, Xiao Yan actually felt a little strange. Although he was indeed the young master of a small family, he had never enjoyed the benefits of being a young master in his previous life or in this life. The treatment, I didn’t expect that I actually experienced it this time...
In fact, Xiao Yan does not really need the service of a little maid. After all, he has been alone for so many years and has long been accustomed to the very difficult cultivation life. He only bought Qinglin because of her Blue Snake Three. She only had beautiful eyes, so I didn’t expect her to do anything. However, after Qing Lin got better, she insisted on helping Xiao Yan with things, so Xiao Yan left her alone and asked her to be a little maid and do some things. Light work.
Hearing the name Tagor Desert, Qinglin's body trembled subconsciously. Xiao Yan knew that she was thinking of the snake people in the Tagor Desert, although she also had the blood of the snake people in her body. , but because of her childhood experience, she was actually very resistant to these snake people, so she acted like this.
"Don't worry, if there are snake people, I will drive them away for you." Xiao Yan rubbed Qinglin's little head and said with a smile. With his current strength, as long as he does not meet Queen Medusa, other He was sure of defeating her. Even if he really met Queen Medusa, he would be able to escape with his green scales intact.
"As long as I can follow Master Xiao Yan, Qing Lin will not be afraid no matter where I go." Qing Lin shook his head and said very seriously.
Hearing this, Xiao Yan was slightly startled. It seemed that someone had said this to him a long time ago. Who was it...
["As long as the teacher is here, I am not afraid even if I go to hell."]
I remembered that it was the girl who once worshiped me as my teacher... She once trusted me so much, but in the end she was killed by myself.
"Master Xiao Yan!" Just when Xiao Yan fell into memories, Qing Lin's voice called him back to reality. He woke up and then couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that the original illusion of Netherworld Poison Fire was still against him. It has caused some impact, otherwise, I am afraid I would not have such emotions.
Qing Lin looked at Xiao Yan with some worry and asked: "Master Xiao Yan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you want to take a rest first?"
"It's nothing." Xiao Yan shook his head and said with a smile, "I just remembered some things from the past."
Xiao Yan didn't really want to continue arguing on this topic, so he quickly changed the subject and said: "I will practice hard during the next period of time and put all the food in the package. If you are free, If you are bored, you can go out and play, but you can’t play too late and you must come back at night.”
The more Xiao Yan talked, the more he felt something was wrong. He looked like this... Why did he feel like he was raising a daughter...
Chapter 56: If you don't pay, it doesn't count as buying
There was no trouble during this flight. After all, it was at an altitude of more than a thousand meters. If something happened and it crashed, everyone would finish it together, so no matter how unruly the people riding the flying birds and beasts were. Tong, he was very calm along the way. After all, there are not many people in the world like Xiao Yan who can already turn their fighting energy into wings but still choose this kind of transportation.
As soon as he set foot on the Tagore Desert, Xiao Yan felt a hot breath coming towards his face. Such a hot and dry environment made many fellow travelers who had just descended from the flying birds and beasts couldn't help but complain. But Xiao Yan was different from them. He felt the heat coming from around him and felt a little relaxed.
The air of Tagore Desert contains extremely rich fire attribute energy. People like him who practice fire attribute fighting spirit will feel like a fish in water here. If combined with something like burning blood, The special medicine liquid, practicing here will undoubtedly greatly increase his cultivation speed.
"I wonder if there is an Ice Spirit Cold Spring in this place..." Xiao Yan suddenly remembered the three auxiliary things that Yao Lao said about refining alien fire. Although with his current strength, he has encountered some aliens with lower rankings. Fire can be refined with one's own strength. In addition to the other two things, it is not necessary to have the spirit. But if it can increase the probability, it is always good, and it can be considered as prepared.
He has already gathered the ingredients for the Blood Lotus Pill, and he himself can already refine this fifth-grade pill. He only needs to find time to refine it. The only thing missing now is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring. .
Generally speaking, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring can only appear in extremely cold places. However, as the saying goes, the Ice Spirit Cold Spring may also appear in some extremely hot places. Xiao Yan does not have time to go to extremely cold places now, but he can go there. Try your luck in Tagore Desert, after all, this is an extremely hot place.
But what surprised Xiao Yan was that he thought Qing Lin was relatively weak and would find it difficult to endure the environment here, so he prepared some pills in advance, but he didn't expect Qing Lin to act like a normal person. , she can still move freely under the scorching heat. Unlike the pedestrians nearby who are sweating due to the high temperature environment, her expression is actually very natural.
You know, although some of those passers-by are not even considered fighters, they still have some fighting spirit in their bodies. However, Qing Lin has not even touched the fighting spirit yet. In addition, he has just recovered from a serious illness. Given her physical condition, it was indeed unusual for her to be able to walk under the scorching sun.
With a thought in Xiao Yan's mind, she immediately used a trace of soul power to scan Qinglin, and then discovered that there was a somewhat cold energy flowing in her body. It was this strange energy. , so that Qing Lin can not be affected by the scorching sun.
"Is it because of the three-flowered pupils of the green snake..." Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He didn't expect that the three-flowered pupils of the green snake could actually have this function. However, this would cause some trouble. With cold energy, it would It means that it is incompatible with his Nirvana Flame Eyes attribute. If in this case, the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils are transplanted, it may not only fail to enhance its power, but also weaken it...
"Well... forget it, let's keep her for now anyway. Anyway, she can be trained into a top combat power." Xiao Yan was not disappointed because the original plan could not be implemented. Anyway, with the Blue Snake Three The power of Hua Pu's Amplified Nirvana Flame Eyes was just a temporary thought on his part. He also knew the moves he created very well. Even if his Nirvana Flame Eyes didn't have any amplification, its destructive power was still extremely powerful.
After paying the fee for the two of them to enter the city to the guard at the city gate, Xiao Yan took Qing Lin into the city called "Desert City". Qing Lin looked at the surrounding buildings and passers-by, feeling a little confused for a moment. After lingering, the architectural style and clothing here are very different from Black Rock City, making this little girl who has never traveled far since she was a child full of curiosity about new things.
After entering Desert City, Xiao Yan first found a high-end hotel, settled Qing Lin, and then went out again. In fact, he had already purchased all the necessities in the desert when he was in Black Rock City. This time he came out, Naturally, he was looking for the former Ice King. Of course, just in case, he also left a soul mark on Qinglin to prevent any accidents from happening while he was away.
After searching in the city for a while, he finally found the shop called "Gu Tu". After he breathed a sigh of relief, he slowly walked into the shop. The decorations in the shop were similar to those in his previous life. There was almost no difference when he was there. You can imagine how lazy the old man Haibodong is. After all, when he found this place in his previous life, it was almost ten years later.
"You can see what you want." The owner of this shop, a white-haired old man, is sitting behind the counter, concentrating on drawing a map. From his appearance, there is no clue that he is a former King Fighter. , but Xiao Yan's soul power can accurately sense that this seemingly ordinary old man hides a power that only the Dou Huang level possesses, but most of that power has been sealed.
"Do you want money?" Xiao Yan said casually. He seemed to be flipping through the maps in the store unintentionally, and then accurately found the small piece of broken map from a pile of failed works. The size of this broken map was smaller than The piece Xiao Yan got in the Warcraft Mountains was half smaller. It seemed that this time it was still divided into two halves by Hai Bodong just like before.
"If you want a map, just pay for it. I have no interest in joking with you." Hai Bodong, who was drawing the map, also frowned because of Xiao Yan's words. He raised his head and saw Xiao Yan's hand. Holding the half of the broken picture, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"Old sir, how do you sell this scrap of picture?" Xiao Yan raised the scrap of picture in his hand and asked with a smile.
"I won't sell it." Haibodong said categorically. He almost died in the desert for this broken map, so how could he sell it casually?
"Old sir, you said before that if you want a map, just pay for it. Why are you not keeping your promise now?"
"Boy, don't play word games with me. I said I won't sell it, so I won't sell it." Hai Bodong waved his hand and said calmly.
"Really not selling?"
"Not for sale."
"Okay." Xiao Yan sighed helplessly, then waved his hand back and put away the residual picture in his hand, "Since you said you won't sell it, I can only grab it."
Chapter 57: Xiao Yan vs. Hai Bodong
"You are looking for death!" Seeing that Xiao Yan actually threatened to take away the fragment of the picture in front of him and then took action, Hai Bodong's cloudy eyes looking at Xiao Yan also lingered. Terrible murderous intent.
As a former Dou Huang warrior, Hai Bodong naturally had his own temper. In his heyday, no one dared to take anything from his hands. Although his strength has been sealed now, the spirit of Dou Huang is still there. The arrogance of the powerful emperor has not dissipated. Xiao Yan's actions undoubtedly violated the ice emperor's taboo.
"Hand over the broken picture now, and you can leave safely." Hai Bodong gently tapped a mechanism on the counter with his finger. The originally open door closed on its own, and a cold and powerful aura came from Hai Bodong. Erupted from his body and crushed him in the direction of Xiao Yan.
However, this so-called pressure of momentum is naturally unlikely to cause any problems to Xiao Yan. If the Ice King still maintains the strength of his heyday, he may be able to cause trouble to Xiao Yan nearby, but now he is just a fighter. It's just a spirit, and to deal with beings at the fighting spirit level, he was able to do it when he was a fighting master.
"Stop talking such useless nonsense. If you want the broken pictures, come and get them yourself." Xiao Yan chuckled, and with a casual wave of his palm, he removed all those around him because of Hai Bodong. The cold air that spread out due to the explosive momentum was completely dissipated.
"You arrogant boy!" Hai Bodong laughed angrily. Even though his strength had regressed to Dou Ling due to the seal, it didn't mean that anyone could attack him. He sneered and transformed into a sword. Bai Ying quickly flew towards Xiao Yan, but just when he was about to hit Xiao Yan, he found that his attack went straight through his body.
"Afterimage?" The scene in front of him shocked Haibodong, and then he immediately reacted. Then a terrible strong wind suddenly hit from behind. This rapid attack made Haibodong shocked. His expression changed, and he quickly formed a hand seal, condensing a huge transparent ice mirror, "Ice Mirror!"
"Crack!" The moment the ice mirror took shape, it was directly smashed to pieces by a fist in the most violent way. Haibodong himself was also blown away by this powerful force. He finally managed to stabilize himself. As he held his body, he felt a sweet sensation in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth.
After easily blasting Haibodong's defense with one punch, Xiao Yan waved his palm in boredom. After being sealed, Haibodong's strength was at the ordinary fighting spirit level at best, not even the peak fighting spirit level. On top of that, facing an existence of this level, let alone using fighting skills, he didn't even fully unleash his own strength.
Unlike Xiao Yan, who was calm and calm, Hai Bodong felt extremely shocked in his heart. Based on the previous confrontation, he was sure that the other party was far stronger than himself after being sealed. But how could this be possible? ? This kid looks to be no more than fifteen years old, but he is already at least a fighting spirit level existence?
"Old sir, I advise you to stop as soon as possible, otherwise your old body won't be able to bear it if the fight continues." Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong, who was knocked away by his punch, and there was a look on his face that looked like He smiled gently, but his words made the former Ice King even more angry.
"I don't believe it anymore. I can't deal with you!" Hai Bodong gritted his teeth. A wave of cold air spread from his body again, and finally condensed into hundreds of high-speed rotating stars on his head. After the spiral ice spike formed, it made a "wuwu" sound, and finally shot towards Xiao Yan like a heavy rain.
"A boring battle." Looking at the ice spikes shooting from all directions, Xiao Yan had no intention of defending. He just stood there indifferently, and the ice spikes that came from all directions shattered on their own. Kailai looked like there was an invisible barrier around Xiao Yan, protecting him from harm.
This strange scene made Hai Bodong's pupils shrink slightly. The opponent's strength was indeed beyond his expectation, but with his character, he would never give in so easily, so even though he knew he was not as strong as Xiao Yan, But Haibodong still chose to use his strongest attack to deal with Xiao Yan.
I saw Haibodong forming the seal quickly, and the surrounding cold air quickly compressed in front of Haibodong, and then countless sharp ice blades were formed around him. After the ice blades were condensed, they did not directly Instead of launching it, it was suspended in front of him, ready to go. As the Haibo Dongyin knot continued to form, there were more and more ice blades in front of him, and finally his body was covered in them.
This is one of the most powerful moves that Haibodong has mastered. It is called "Xuanbing Spin Kill". It is an advanced Xuan-level fighting skill. When he was still at his strongest, few people dared to face him head-on. It was a hard attack, so he was very confident. Even if this move still couldn't defeat Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan would never be able to do it as easily as before.
"Are you done? Once you're done, hurry up and start." Xiao Yan stretched and said casually.
"Bastard!" Xiao Yan's appearance made the former Dou Huang powerful man completely angry. He let out a low roar, and the ice blades that were originally floating in front of him rushed out at the same time. Those ice blades joined together in mid-air and finally formed a tornado composed entirely of ice blades.
The sharpness of those ice blades is much sharper than the previous ice spikes. If you are accidentally involved in this ice blade storm, I am afraid that even those at the peak of Dou Ling will not be spared. But it is a pity that the current Xiao Yan is no longer a fighting spirit.
He looked at the oncoming ice blade storm, slowly stretched out a hand, and gently shook the offensive that Hai Bodong had just gathered with all his strength.
The next moment, this huge ice blade storm stopped in place, and no matter how Hai Bodong urged it, it did not move at all.
Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong who was trying his best to activate the Ice Blade Storm opposite him, and chuckled, "The momentum is good, but that's all."
As Xiao Yan finished speaking, the huge ice blade storm suddenly exploded. Among the ice fragments in the sky, Xiao Yan gently clapped his hands and said: "Old sir, you lose."
"Nonsense! I haven't lost yet! I can still..." Hai Bodong was about to retort, but suddenly he felt a burning sensation coming from his limbs. He looked down and saw something appearing on the floor at some point. Countless threads made of purple-black flames tied up his hands and feet. The burning sensation coming from the threads made him understand that if he dared to act rashly, he might be completely exploded by accident...
Chapter 58: Transaction with Hai Bodong
"Okay, you win." After finding that he could not break away from Xiao Yan's shackles, Hai Bodong looked much more decadent. This was the first time in so many years that he felt so powerless. He tried his best to send out the last words The strong move was easily broken by the opponent, but he was unable to detect when the opponent launched the attack. "Take away the residual map and don't disturb my seclusion."
"Of course I will take away the residual map, but not just this half." Xiao Yan walked up to Hai Bodong and said calmly: "Hand over the other half of the residual map as well."
"What's the other half of the broken picture? I don't know what you're talking about." A look of surprise flashed across Haibodong's eyes, but he soon regained his composure.
"Do you think I can't see it? This fragment of the picture has been divided by you. It is only half the size. The remaining half should be in your hand. Hand it over." Xiao Yan moved his wrist and said.
"Boy, do you think I'm the kind of person who would be threatened by others? If you want to kill or behead me, it's up to you. But if you kill me...hehe, you don't even want to get the half of the broken picture!" Haibo Dongleng He snorted, obviously concluding that Xiao Yan did not dare to kill him, so he looked confident.
Hearing the threat implicit in Haibodong's words, Xiao Yan also narrowed his eyes slightly. Haibodong is not the only one who has the arrogance of a strong man, Xiao Yan also does it. If he doesn't want to use him to do something, If so, I'm afraid he would have forcibly found the other half of the remaining pictures and killed the old guy. This kind of thing is not too difficult for him now.
"Old sir, as long as you hand over the other half of the residual map, no matter what you want, as long as I can get it, I can give it to you." After suppressing the murderous intention in his heart, Xiao Yan regained his composure. look, said.
"It's a pity that you can't give me what I want." Hai Bodong sneered and said.
"Really?" Xiao Yan flicked his fingers gently, and a wisp of purple-black flame emerged from his fingertips. "What if I can help you recover to your peak strength?"
"What did you say?" Hai Bodong was slightly startled and looked at Xiao Yan with a serious expression.
"What? Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Yan smiled calmly, "Old sir, your strength should be far beyond the spirit fighting level, right? It's just that you got a certain seal, so your strength has regressed to this point. If I have If you can help the old gentleman regain his strength, can you give me the fragment of the map?"
"Hahaha! It's a good suggestion, but I don't believe that you kid can help me recover." Hai Bodong's eyes showed a sarcastic look, "Unless you are a sixth-grade alchemist."
"That's such a coincidence, I can just refine the sixth-grade elixir." Xiao Yan said with a slight smile.
"Boy, don't lie to me! How old are you? How can you be a sixth-grade alchemist?" Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Yan in surprise, obviously not believing that he had the ability to refine sixth-grade elixirs.
"When you were chained to the ground by me, did you ever think that I was a strong Dou Wang?" Xiao Yan tilted his head and said with a smile: "Since I can reach the level of Dou Wang at this age, you Why do you think I'm not a sixth-grade alchemist?"
"Good boy, it seems that I really made a mistake." Haibodong pondered for a moment and then said: "Do you know my identity?"
"I don't know, but I think the old gentleman's identity is not simple." Xiao Yan tried his best to pretend that he didn't understand this guy's origins.
"Well, my name is Hai Bodong. Those people back then called me the Ice Emperor!" Hai Bodong's face showed a hint of pride. As one of the top ten strongest men of the previous generation, thinking about his deeds There are still many people who know about it, and those past experiences are also his greatest source of pride.
"Oh, Ice Emperor Haibodong, I've heard of you." Xiao Yan nodded casually. He had naturally heard of Haibodong's past events, but in his eyes, Haibodong's glorious events It's like playing house, "How did you end up like this?"
Xiao Yan's indifferent expression made Hai Bodong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, but now was obviously not the time to dwell on this. He sighed and continued: "Back then, I came to this tower on an impromptu basis. In the Gore Desert, I got the fragment of the map during an adventure, but it attracted the pursuit of Queen Medusa."
"My strength at that time was far from being a match for Queen Medusa. Although I saved my life in the end, I was struck by her seal. Not only did my body age rapidly, but my strength also regressed to the level of a spirit fighter." Hai Bo Dong's expression was a little bitter, "For so many years, I have been looking for a way to break the seal. Finally, after much searching, I finally found a strange prescription. It records the pill that can break the seal. As long as it can be refined, Once it’s made, I can break the seal.”
"In that case, why don't you go to Furukawa? I think he would be happy to let a former fighting emperor owe him a favor, right?" Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"Furuhe can't do it." Hai Dongbo shook his head. He looked at the purple-black flames that locked him and said slowly: "This elixir is not only a sixth-grade elixir, but according to the prescription, if you want To refine this kind of elixir, you must have strange fire, and Furukawa doesn't have that."
