Although Xiao Yan has other close combat skills at hand, Baji Beng's attack method suits his taste very well. He doesn't want to give up just like that, so he has been thinking of ways to improve Baji Beng. At this moment, he saw the attack in front of him. These magma undercurrents, an idea suddenly emerged in his mind.

Isn't it exactly like the state of these magma undercurrents when they erupt? It's just that the Baji Bengsheng is better than the explosive power, but the concealment and suddenness of these undercurrents are even better. If the dark energy of the Baji Beng can be erupted in the form of this undercurrent, then the Baji Beng The power can definitely be taken to a higher level!

"Huh..." Although there was an idea in his heart that he wanted to experiment with Bajibeng on the spot, Xiao Yan knew that this was not a suitable place. If it didn't succeed, it would be fine. If it succeeded, it might destroy the surrounding people. The ground has collapsed, and then the fun will be great...

After suppressing this thought, Xiao Yan's figure trembled, and he used the Flame Traveling Sky Step to quickly swim out of the magma lake. Because he stayed in the magma for three months, he had no idea about the magma. These magma energies have also become very familiar. At this moment, when performing the Youyan Lingxiao Step, it actually seems to imitate the flow of magma, and it begins to become a little erratic.

"Now that the matter here has been settled, it's time to leave the Tagore Desert." After Xiao Yan emerged from the lava, he took out a piece of clothing and put it on. He did not forget that there was also a Dou Huang The strong man's agreement has not been completed yet. This guy has matters related to the trip to the Black Corner Domain, so he cannot be careless.

Chapter 79: Goodbye, Ice Emperor

In the shop named Gutu in Mocheng, Haibodong was drawing a map on the counter as always. Because of his cold personality, his shop has never been very popular in Mocheng. In addition, Xiao Yan trashed this store three months ago. After it was closed for repairs for a period of time, the store became even more deserted. Except for the occasional few people who came in to buy maps, most of the time, there were only Haibodong was alone in the store.

However, Haibodong, who had lived in seclusion in this remote place for decades, was particularly restless during this period. Even the map he was best at drawing failed one after another during this period. He had been waiting for so many years. , finally met an alchemist who could help him get out of trouble, but he didn't expect to hear anything from him as soon as he went there. How could this make him not feel impatient?

If he hadn't still had half of the fragments of the broken map in his hand, Hai Bodong might have really thought that Xiao Yan had tricked him, but now he couldn't help but worry whether the kid died on the way. …

Due to confusion in his mind, Haibodong once again made mistakes in drawing the map in his hand. He sighed and threw the scrapped map aside. Just when he was about to close the door and thank the guests, he discovered a rather strange-looking figure. The pretty little girl timidly walked in from the door.

"Do you want to buy a map?" Haibodong was a little surprised to see such a pitiful-looking little girl. This was the first time he saw a little girl coming to buy a map in Mocheng.

The little girl shook her head and whispered: "My young master asked me to come to you and said... that he wanted you to see him."

"Young Master of the Qin family?" Hai Bodong frowned. There were several well-known people in Mocheng who knew some details about him. They were always trying to find ways to have a relationship with him. They wanted to be the young master of this little girl. He was also one of them. He quickly returned to his previous cold demeanor and said decisively: "Tell your young master that I am not free."

"Really? Lord Ice King, it seems that you are quite busy." At this moment, a somewhat familiar laughter suddenly sounded in the small room. Haibodong was startled and he quickly turned his head. When I came, I saw Xiao Yan appearing in the room at some point, sitting on the counter where he was drawing a map before.

"Since you, Lord Ice King, are very busy, I might as well come and visit you another day." Xiao Yan played with the scrapped maps and said with a smile.

"Hahaha! Little brother, what are you talking about?" Seeing Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong's face was also full of smiles. He rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Little brother, you really made me wait. Ah, I don’t know what I want…”

"Here." Xiao Yan's fingers gently scratched the ring, and a light yellow plant appeared on the counter. "This should be the Sand Mandala you need, right? It won't cost me anything." It took a while to find it.”

Haibodong took the plant and after checking it, found that there was nothing wrong with it. He was smiling happily. Just when he was about to say some polite words, he suddenly sensed that there seemed to be a strange smell on Xiao Yan's body. The breath, the joyful expression on his face suddenly turned into shock, "You...have you ever been in contact with Queen Medusa?"

"When I was in Stone Desert City, I happened to run into her, so we had a fight." Xiao Yan smiled and said.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are truly a hero. I didn't expect you to come back alive from that woman's hands. It's amazing, it's really amazing." Hearing Xiao Yan admit this, Hai Bodong couldn't help but sigh. In a word, he had been defeated by Queen Medusa and sealed away for decades, so he naturally knew how terrifying that beautiful woman was.

During this time, he had indeed heard about a mysterious strongman who controlled purple-black flames fighting Queen Medusa in Stone Desert City. However, he did not understand the whole process of the matter. Therefore, he just thought that Xiao Yan learned from Queen Medusa. The men escaped unscathed, but they didn't expect that he would actually fight the woman to a draw.

"It's just a fluke." Xiao Yan waved his hand and did not get too involved in this matter. He stared at the sand mandala in Hai Bodong's hand and said calmly, "Okay, I have asked you to Now that I have brought back my belongings, can I also give the other half of the remaining pictures to me?"

"Uh..." Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Hai Bodong also had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, and said: "Little brother, what we said at the beginning was that you would refine the elixir to lift the seal. I’ll give you the other half of the residual map. The elixir hasn’t been refined yet..."

"The elixir has not been refined yet, so the agreement is not completed, right?" Xiao Yan smiled and said: "Okay, then I will help you refine the broken elixir, but... ...Since Mr. Ebi’s memory is so good, he must also remember what our other agreement is, right?”

"That's natural..." Hai Bodong smiled a few times, "Little brother, you helped me find the Mandala of Sand, then I will naturally abide by the agreement and complete something that does not violate morality for little brother."

"Just remember." Xiao Yan nodded with a smile, then took a look at the furnishings in the room and said, "Mr. Hai, you should know that when an alchemist is refining medicine, he is most afraid of outside interference, so please help me prepare a room. Stay in a quiet room, I'm going to prepare the medicine."

"Okay, okay!" Hearing that Xiao Yan was about to start work so soon, Haibodong nodded hurriedly and took Xiao Yan into an extremely quiet room in the back room.

Xiao Yan glanced at the surrounding environment and scanned it with his soul power. After confirming that there was no problem, he sat on the chair and said with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Hai, give me the prescription and the necessary materials." Me."

Haibodong took out the prescription and many ingredients for refining medicine from Najie. His face was full of pain and reluctance. He had worked so hard to get these things, and now he was in this position. Xiao Yan's hands are naturally equivalent to a new owner. You must know that this is a prescription for a sixth-grade elixir. In terms of value, it is definitely not inferior to a volume of earth-level fighting skills.

Haibodong knew very well that in Dou Qi Continent, if you wanted to ask an alchemist to help you refine elixirs, in addition to bringing your own elixir-making materials, the prescriptions would also be at the discretion of the alchemist, even if that person If the alchemist is interested in this book of prescriptions and wants to keep it as his own, he cannot object. Otherwise, it will be a violation of the rules. As long as Xiao Yan publicizes this matter, it will never happen again. Someone is willing to help him make elixirs.

As for whether Xiao Yan would take this prescription as his own... that was something that was beyond even a second thought. Not to mention that there were regulations on how to dispose of this thing, even if there were no regulations, Xiao Yan would definitely get it. Not to mention the prescription, even the owner of this prescription, Xiao Yan, planned to trick him away.

Chapter 80: Refining the Evil-Breaking Pill

"I will accept the prescription and ingredients first. During this time, I asked Mr. Hai to guard the door. By the way, Mr. Hai can help take care of the little girl I brought. She is still young, so please be patient. one time."

After getting the prescription and materials, Xiao Yan unceremoniously began to instruct Haibodong to do things. Haibodong could only sigh helplessly, exit the room, and start to take care of Qinglin outside.

After Hai Bodong exited, Xiao Yan just opened the somewhat dry parchment. As the soul power invaded it, information about the prescription also appeared in his mind.

"Bearing Pill, a sixth-grade elixir, has the miraculous effect of breaking most seals. After taking it, it can also form a resistance to this kind of seal in the body. In the future, if you encounter this kind of seal again, you will be able to have There is a slight chance that it will be exempted."

Looking at the introduction above, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shook his head. These high-level things just like to have more words in the introduction to make them look more powerful. In fact, this PoE Dan is really valuable. The only difference lies in its ability to break seals. As for the second half of the content, it was automatically ignored by Xiao Yan.

After all, most ordinary seals only last a few days and then dissipate automatically. There is no need for such a high-level elixir. As for a seal that can use such an elixir...then who would run away with a trance? Have someone seal it again? And this introduction still says there is a slight chance, which means that the immunity effect actually depends on luck...

After browsing the information in the elixir, Xiao Yan also breathed out slowly. Although this Po'er elixir is a sixth-grade elixir, it is only included in the sixth grade because it is too partial. , so the refining difficulty was not too high, but when he took out his medicine refining cauldron, he couldn't help but frown.

The medicine refining cauldron he is using now was bought at the auction house in Black Rock City. The quality is not very good. In the past, it was okay to refine low-level elixirs, but now it is a bit difficult to refine sixth-grade elixirs. Not enough.

"Sigh... It seems that after arriving in the Black Corner Territory, we have to find a way to get a higher-level medicine refining cauldron." Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. If it weren't for leaving the Gama Empire, he would have even given birth to a child. An idea to rob the Alchemy King Gu He, he must have a high-level medicine refining cauldron on his body.

In fact, Yao Lao's ring also contains a very high-end medicinal cauldron. After he falls into a deep sleep, Xiao Yan can naturally use the contents of that ring. However, the medicinal cauldron contains the soul mark set by Yao Lao. Only Yao Lao can use it, otherwise Xiao Yan would not keep using this junk medicine cauldron.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan still has the Nine Nether Illusion Demonic Fire and a soul power comparable to that of a seventh-grade alchemist, which can make up for the shortcomings in the alchemy cauldron. After checking the materials on hand, Xiao Yan immediately started to refine it. Defeat Erdan.

Because it was the first time to refine the sixth-grade elixir, Xiao Yan's first refining also ended in failure. Looking at the ashes in the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yan also took a deep breath. The difficulty of refining is indeed much higher than that of fifth-grade elixir.

After the failure, Xiao Yan did not continue refining. Instead, he reflected on the reasons for the last failure. After summarizing the lessons, he continued refining. The second refining speed was faster than the first time. It has improved a lot, and the control of the fire has become much more precise. If Yao Lao wakes up at this time, he will definitely be very satisfied when he sees Xiao Yan's posture. Xiao Yan's current level is enough to be called a real six Refining pharmacist.

During this period, Haibodong also came in once, wanting to see the progress of the alchemy, but when he saw Xiao Yan's refining posture with all his strength, he immediately gave up the idea and exited cautiously. , for fear of disturbing Xiao Yan and causing the refining to fail.

If Haibodong had some doubts about whether Xiao Yan had the ability to refine sixth-grade elixirs, then when he saw Xiao Yan's smooth flow while refining the medicinal materials, this doubt was completely dispelled. Only a sixth-grade alchemist could achieve this step. What he didn't know was that this was actually Xiao Yan's first time refining a sixth-grade elixir.

This refining lasted for three days before it ended. Xiao Yan looked at the completely formed purple elixir and breathed out gently. Now he should be considered a true sixth-grade alchemist, right? An alchemist of this level can be considered a top figure even in the extremely chaotic Black Angle Domain, let alone in the Gama Empire?

You know, in the entire Jiama Empire, only Dan King Furukawa can be regarded as a sixth-grade alchemist, and he is quite rich as a sixth-grade alchemist. After all, according to rumors, this Lord Furukawa refines fourth-grade alchemist. The success rate of Qi Gathering Powder is only 70%, and Qi Gathering Powder is not even that advanced among fourth-grade elixirs. As for the real sixth-grade elixir Dou Ling Dan, Furukawa's success rate for it is also extremely low, and Xiao Yan is confident that if he refines it, he will have at least an 80% success rate!

Although he is also a sixth-grade alchemist, Xiao Yan has the confidence to surpass Furukawa. If Furukawa comes to refine the Po'er Dan, he may not be able to refine it even if several materials are used.

Therefore, it can be said without hesitation that Xiao Yan is now the number one alchemist of the Jia Ma Empire. Of course, Xiao Yan will not be complacent because of this achievement. What he wants to do is to be the best in the world, not the first in this remote area of ​​the continent.

After putting the PoE Dan into the jade bottle, Xiao Yan did not go out immediately. Instead, he took out the green lotus throne and sat on it to restore the fighting spirit in his body. When his condition returned to its peak, Xiao Yan He could clearly feel that there was a soft sound coming from his body. He actually succeeded in breaking through to the Six-Star Fighting King during this training.

Although with his talent, it was only a matter of time before he could reach six stars, but completing the breakthrough so quickly was indeed beyond Xiao Yan's expectations.

“It seems that this kind of high-intensity alchemy does have some benefits…” Sensing the power in his body, Xiao Yan smiled slightly. At this rate, he might be able to successfully break through to the peak of Dou Wang within a year. If he is lucky, he might even be able to break through directly to the realm of Dou Huang.

After putting away the Green Lotus Seat, Xiao Yan waved his hand and put the remaining materials on the table into the Najie. The remaining medicinal materials can just be used to refine another PoE Pill, and these The materials were extremely valuable. If they were put up for auction, they would fetch at least several million. With Xiao Yan's character, he would naturally not return them to Hai Bodong.

He looked at the purple elixir in the jade bottle and raised the corners of his mouth slightly. With his character, he would not trust Hai Bodong so easily. Therefore, he secretly added some auxiliary ingredients in it. If the old guy If he regained his strength and turned against him, he wouldn't mind sending the Ice King on his way.

Chapter 81: Breaking the Seal

When Hai Bodong saw Xiao Yan coming out of the secret room, his attentive look was like a son-in-law meeting his father-in-law. Xiao Yan couldn't bear to see Hai Bodong's very impatient look. He couldn't help but shook his head, threw the jade bottle over with a flick of his hand, and said, "Here, what you want is here."

Haibodong hurriedly took the jade bottle. He looked at the purple elixir in the jade bottle, and a touch of surprise appeared on his old face. He didn't expect that this guy could actually do it. Refining this sixth-grade elixir that even Alchemy King Furukawa has difficulty refining.

"Little brother, you really hide your secrets!" Haibodong gave a thumbs up without hesitation.

"Just call me Xiao Yan." Seeing Hai Bodong's flattering look, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little funny. Who would have thought that the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who was so famous in the Jia Ma Empire, would still be such a loser? On the other hand, "Now that the elixir has been successfully refined, can you give me the other half of the residual map?"

"Well, little brother Xiao Yan, we did agree at the beginning that as long as you help me refine the Po'er Dan, I will give you the remaining half of the residual map..." Hai Bodong smiled and said , "But...you have to let me verify whether this elixir is real or fake, right?"

"Mr. Hai Lao is worried that he will cheat?"

Haibodong did not answer the question, but it could be seen from the awkward expression on his face that he was indeed what Xiao Yan thought.

Looking at Hai Bodong's wry smile, Xiao Yan waved his hand and made a very generous gesture, "I can understand that Mr. Hai has such concerns, so as Mr. Hai said, Words, but..."

Just when Haibodong was a little surprised by Xiao Yan's easy-to-talk attitude, Xiao Yan changed his tone, "My patience has its limit. If Haibo still has this attitude after taking Po'er Dan, If so, then don’t blame me for turning against you."

"Definitely, definitely." Hearing the threat implicit in Xiao Yan's words, Haibodong quickly agreed. He knew very well that his repeated pulls had made this guy dissatisfied with him, but it didn't matter. Even now I don’t care about that much anymore.

He put Po'er Dan into the Najie, and then said to Xiao Yan: "Little brother, when you break the seal, your breath may leak out. If people outside notice these things, it will inevitably cause some trouble, so I’ll take Poerdan in the basement where I practice regularly.”

"Oh, in that case, Mr. Hai, you can go to the basement and take Po'er Dan by yourself. I won't accompany you." Xiao Yan waved his hand, then pulled Qing Lin aside and asked about this period of time. situation, his appearance made it clear that he did not want to go to the basement with Haibodong.

Seeing Xiao Yan's perfunctory look, Hai Bodong couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. However, because of his previous resistance and refusal to hand over the fragments of the fragments, he couldn't say anything and could only speak in silence by himself. Walking towards the basement, after he left, Xiao Yan turned his head and looked at the direction Hai Bodong left. A cold and cold light flashed across his originally dark eyes.

He didn't have the time to go see an old man breaking the seal. If he had the time, he might as well cultivate a relationship with Qing Lin. As for whether Hai Bodong would take the opportunity to run away... Xiao Yan wasn't worried at all. Let's not talk about it for now. He left his mark on Haibodong's Po'er Danli. In fact, he had used his soul power to envelop the entire house in it earlier. It was impossible to escape under his nose. matter.

Soon, Xiao Yan sensed a powerful aura erupting from below. It seemed that Hai Bodong had regained his strength. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the side door. That's where Haibo went down to the east, and this old guy should be coming up soon.

Xiao Yan's wait did not last long. In just half a minute, Hai Bodong slowly walked out from behind the door. At this moment, his aura was much stronger than before, and even the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yan had a bit more sharpness and coldness.

Although he was very respectful to Xiao Yan before, that was because his strength was sealed and he couldn't see through Xiao Yan's strength. Now that the seal has been broken, his strength has once again returned to the level of the Dou Huang period, and with the increase in strength After recovering, he also had the thought of taking away the remaining map from Xiao Yan's hand.

Moreover, Haibodong has not forgotten the scene when Xiao Yan beat him up a few months ago. As a strong fighter, he has never been so humiliated before!

He was weak in strength before, but now, he could clearly sense Xiao Yan's specific strength - the Six-Star Fighting King. Although he was considered a strong player in the Jiama Empire, compared to his strength as the Fighting King, he was still weak. There is a big gap. If he really takes action, this kid may not be able to block him.

Thinking of this, an icy cold air began to linger in Haibodong's palm, and the look in Xiao Yan's eyes became more and more evil. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan also chuckled. Even Queen Medusa He was not afraid, let alone this old man. If Haibodong really dared to take action, then he would have no choice but to make this old guy who had just regained his strength as a Dou Huang completely become history.

Just when Haibodong was about to snatch the broken picture, he suddenly remembered the fight between Xiao Yan and Queen Medusa. His body that was about to rush out suddenly froze. She had been beaten by that woman and was unable to fight back. , naturally knew how terrifying that guy was, and since the boy in front of him could escape from Queen Medusa, it proved that his strength was definitely not the level of an ordinary fighting king!

What's more, he has not forgotten that Xiao Yan is still an alchemist who can refine sixth-grade elixirs. If he really takes action, even if the latter cannot defeat him, since he can escape from Queen Medusa , it’s definitely not difficult under your own hands! At that time, the crazy revenge of a sixth-grade alchemist would be too much for him even if he was a powerful Dou Huang.

The most critical point is that Xiao Yan's current age is only about twelve years old! For a twelve-year-old Dou Wang, it shouldn't be difficult for a twelve-year-old Dou Wang to break through the Dou Zong with this kind of talent. If he is not sure of killing him completely, offending such an enemy with great potential will undoubtedly be a thankless task. Behavior.

Moreover, since he was able to reach the realm of Dou Wang at the age of twelve, there must be a powerful force behind him supporting him. Even if he could really kill Xiao Yan, I'm afraid it would trigger crazy revenge from that mysterious force...

Chapter 82: Transaction with the Ice Emperor

After thinking this, Haibodong quickly calmed down, and a smile appeared on his old face, saying: "I'm really sorry, because I have just recovered my strength, so I can't control my momentum for the time being, and I frightened you little brothers. ."

"Oh? Really?" Xiao Yan looked at the smile on Hai Bodong's face, and a slightly joking expression appeared on his face, "With that aura just now, I thought Mr. Hai was going to turn his back on him, but it turned out to be just a misunderstanding. , let me just say that Mr. Hai is still a strong warrior after all, so he shouldn’t do that kind of ungrateful and animal-like behavior, right?”

"Hahaha..." Hearing the words from Xiao Yan's mouth, Haibodong also laughed a few times, because he almost did what he said just now, being ungrateful and worse than a beast... This kid, it is obvious that he is Pointing at mulberry trees and scolding huai trees.

"It's a pity. Originally, I wanted to see what Mr. Hai's real strength is." Xiao Yan shook his head with regret and said, "After all, there are not many opportunities to fight against the Douhuang level."

Looking at Xiao Yan's non-joking expression, Haibodong felt a little lucky. Judging from this guy's appearance, he didn't seem to be too afraid of himself. But thinking about it carefully, although this guy is still young, he has a good heart. But like some old monsters, with his character, since he dares to hand Po Erdan over to him, he is definitely not afraid of tearing himself apart...

"Okay, Mr. Hai, your strength has recovered. You should hand over the half of the incomplete map to me, right?" Xiao Yan stood up from his chair and stretched out his hand towards Hai Bodong.

Haibodong hesitated for a moment, and then took out the other half of the residual map from the Najie. Although he was extremely reluctant to part with this half of the residual map, he also knew that there was only a small residual map. Even if he got it, it would be useless, and the impatience in Xiao Yan's eyes was clearly telling him that if he dared to delay even a little bit, this guy would definitely fight.

After taking the fragmentary picture from Hai Bodong, Xiao Yan took out the other half of the fragmentary picture that he had taken away last time. When he put them together, the size was exactly the same as the one he got in the cave. They are consistent, and there is no gap between the two, which is enough to prove that the old guy didn't play any tricks this time.

"Little brother, you have now obtained the two fragments of the picture in my hand. Can you tell me what this fragment of the picture is? What can I get after getting it together?" Seeing Xiao Yan, he handed over the fragment of the picture. After everyone was accepted into the Najie, Haibodong finally couldn't help his curiosity and asked.

He has been sealed for decades because of this thing. During these decades, he has been studying this thing, but he has gained nothing. Although he has given the residual picture to Xiao Yan, he is still very curious about this thing. What is the origin of the residual image that has troubled him for decades?

"Oh, these are the sheets that my cousin wet the bed when he was a child. I don't know what happened, so he threw them outside. However, the family scandal cannot be made public. Since I saw it outside, I naturally won't let it live outside, and It's not a strange thing." Xiao Yan glanced at Hai Bodong's face and joked casually.

At the same time, Xiao Yu, who was far away in Wutan City, suddenly sneezed inexplicably.

Hearing Xiao Yan's extremely perfunctory words, the corners of Haibodong's mouth twitched slightly. I know you don't want to share the secret of the residual picture, but can you tell a more decent lie? I have obtained this residual picture for decades, and it will only exist for longer. How could it be your cousin's diaper?

"Oh, the relationship spectrum of our family is quite strange. Even though I am young, I am very senior in the family, so my cousin is actually an old witch who is hundreds of years old." Xiao Yan seemed to have noticed it. Hai Bodong's eyes showed distrust and he added casually.
