Xiao Yi Xian gently said, "Sister Yun Yun, Sir is truly considerate. Actually, I only stayed at Peach Forest Mountain because Sir saved me."
"Hmm?" Yun Yun turned her head, confused. Does that mean Xiao Yi Xian wasn't a maid who always followed Sir?
Yun Yun had always thought the two had a master-servant relationship, where she helped Sir warm his bed or rub his back. She never expected Xiao Yi Xian was someone Sir had rescued.
Xiao Yi Xian told Yun Yun everything that had happened to her. Yun Yun also hadn't expected Xiao Yi Xian to be the inheritor of the Calamity Poison Body.
If Sir hadn't helped her, her Calamity Poison Body would probably have already erupted. That kind of heartbreaking pain is likely only known to those who have experienced it.
From then on, Xiao Yi Xian vowed that she would follow Sir for the rest of her life.
Yun Yun pursed her lips, gazing at the shimmering lake. A complex expression flashed in her eyes. Perhaps her feelings had left the Cloud Mist Sect with him when she exchanged the purple spirit crystal... Jiang Cheng also arrived at the Tagor Desert, located in the northwest of the Jia Ma Empire, in less than half a day.
Perhaps due to its proximity to the desert, the weather here was quite dry and hot. The scorching sunlight poured down from the sky, baking the ground and causing suffocating heat to constantly rise.
The heat slowly rose, causing people's vision to become somewhat distorted and blurred.
Jiang Cheng also strongly disliked this kind of weather—dizzying heat during the day and a sharp drop in temperature at night. He had personally experienced this feeling back when he was a Dou Wang.
Fortunately, he had now reached Dou Sheng, and this temperature no longer posed a threat to him. Next, he was going to visit his old friend... a map selling shop located on the outskirts of the Tagor Desert.
In this desolate Tagor Desert, this shop was so conspicuous that if one didn't look closely, they might mistake it for a common desert phenomenon—a mirage.
Jiang Cheng looked up at the banner hanging above the shop and walked in naturally.
The room was not large, but it was exceptionally tidy. Many scrolls were placed on the side cabinet, and it was obvious that these must be maps of the Tagor Desert.
Behind the counter was an old man intently focused on making a map.
This elder was clearly quite old, but although his hair was completely white, the withered hand holding the black drawing pen was still steady and strong.
When the elder sensed someone had arrived, he didn't move, but instead said indifferently:
"Take whatever you want yourself. The maps are on the counter."
Jiang Cheng glanced at the map covered in yellow sand, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I say, Ice Emperor, after eight years, you haven't changed at all. Why don't you clean up a bit?"
Hearing this, the room temperature instantly dropped dozens of times. A powerful shockwave burst forth instantly. Moreover, at a speed visible to the naked eye, a ring of ice-blue Dou Qi permeated the old man's body.
Ice Emperor, one of the ten great experts of the Jia Ma Empire. During his Peak period, he fought two Dou Huang experts alone, demonstrating terrifying power!
Hai Bodong stared solemnly at the man in front of him, unable to help but gasp in surprise, "Jiang Cheng! I can't believe you're still alive!"
"I say, Elder Hai, shouldn't I be alive?"
Jiang Cheng smiled, sat directly on the ground, picked up the teapot nearby, and poured himself a cup of ice water. Hai Bodong's mouth twitched. The two had met eight years ago. At that time, Jiang Cheng had promised to help him refine the calamity-breaking pill, but the guy went deep into the Tagor Desert and never returned.
He even suspected Jiang Cheng had died at the hands of Queen Medusa. He wanted to search countless times, but the Seal technique forced him to stay here and wait.
"You brat, you're finally back! Where is the calamity-breaking pill you promised me?"
Hai Bodong asked anxiously. Having waited a full eight years, he naturally couldn't wait to recover his Dou Huang Realm. Jiang Cheng took out a special sixth-grade pill and pushed it toward Hai Bodong. He then said, "This is the sixth-grade pill, the calamity-breaking pill. After consuming it, the Seal within your body will be undone. However, once the Seal is lifted, I hope you will accompany me to the Medusa Tribe deep in the Tagor Desert."
Pfft!
Hai Bodong, who had just been celebrating his imminent recovery to Dou Huang, immediately looked astonished. His mouth twitched as he grabbed Jiang Cheng's collar and said:
"You want to harm this old man again? Back then, this old man disregarded the Seal and trespassed into the Medusa Tribe for you, and I was almost killed!"
"You have Dou Qi Wing Manifestation, but this old man only has two legs!"
Jiang Cheng coughed awkwardly twice. That incident certainly happened... but back then, he had also drawn Queen Medusa away, otherwise Hai Bodong would have long been a ghost under her blade.
"My mistake."
Jiang Cheng shrugged, placing the folding fan in his hand against the calamity-breaking pill and saying, "However, Elder Hai, if you don't agree, then this calamity-breaking pill cannot be given to you."
Hai Bodong: "..."
I have never met such a shameless person; Jiang Cheng is the first!
After pondering for a long time, Hai Bodong clenched his fist and said, "Fine, this old man will venture in with you one more time. After it's done, you must refine the spirit recovery purple pill for me!"
Although the spirit recovery purple pill is only a fifth-grade pill, it can eliminate the after-effects of the Seal, allowing Hai Bodong to briefly return to the Five-Star Dou Huang level or even higher.
Jiang Cheng nodded and agreed without hesitation. He treats fifth-grade pills like candy, so he naturally wouldn't care too much.
Seeing this, Hai Bodong eagerly picked up the calamity-breaking pill from the table and immediately threw it into his mouth. Having known Jiang Cheng for many years and fought side-by-side with him, he naturally wasn't afraid of Jiang Cheng poisoning him.
A dense power continuously impacted Hai Bodong's limbs and bones, and powerful Dou Qi surged like continuous waves.
Jiang Cheng also arrived at the location marked on the map. After some searching, he found a worn-out remnant map. Special locations were marked on the remnant map, and it was obvious that this must be a treasure map.
As a loyal fan of Dou Po Cang Qiong, Jiang Cheng naturally knew what this was—it was a fragment of the purifying demonic lotus flame map, which ranked third on the awe-inspiring strange fire ranking list.
The Purification Lotus Demon Flame is a treasure that even Dou Sheng experts desperately seek, but ever since the Pure Lotus Demon Saint perished, the Purification Lotus Demon Flame has never reappeared.
Now, the fragment of the purifying demonic lotus flame map is the map required to find the location of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame.
Having obtained the fragment of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame map, there is still one more piece of this remnant map, which was perfectly cut into two halves by Ice Emperor Hai Bodong. He should request it after Hai Bodong recovers.
