Time and Space Tavern

Chapter 601 Ice Emperor Haibodong

Although the speed of the Amethyst Winged Lion King was not as fast as that of Yaochen who had exerted his full strength, it was not slow either.

As it flapped its wings, an afterimage flashed across the air at lightning speed, heading towards the Tagore Desert.

On the way, they encountered some flying monsters carrying "wooden houses" on their backs, which were obviously a type of flying vehicle.

After the Amethyst Winged Lion King released his aura, those first-order flying beasts trembled in fright, or jumped around in the air for a while, and it was unknown whether it had caused an air crash.

Not long after, a few people rushed to a city outside the Tagore Desert.

This is the easternmost city of the Jia Ma Empire, and its scale is not very large.

Due to the proximity to the Tagore Desert, the environment here is quite dry and hot, and the folk customs are sturdy and open.

Looking at the coolly dressed woman along the way, Xiao Yan felt his breathing become short.

Yaochen, however, kept his eyes straight and was not surprised by this.

As a high-level alchemist, he has traveled all over the world and has extraordinary knowledge. This small scene is nothing to him.

Although the Amethyst Winged Lion King cannot transform into a human form, it can shrink its size and restrain its aura, making ordinary people think it is a strange-looking lion.

The reason why Xiao Yan chooses to stop here, besides the reason for supplementing food, is also a very important purpose, that is to find someone.

Among the information Qiao Mu gave him about Qinglian's heart fire, although that person was not necessary, he was still very important.

"'Ancient Map'...is here." After asking a few times, Xiao Yan trotted outside an inconspicuous shop.

The location of the store is not bad, but the inside is quite deserted.

Yao Chen stood outside the door with his hands behind his back, and nodded towards Xiao Yan.

This incident was a small test for his disciples.

Xiao Yan lightly clenched his fist and raised his leg to enter the shop.

Beside him is an old counter covered with various maps.

In front of him on the left, there is a wooden table. An old man is holding an ink pen and is drawing a map bit by bit.

The old man had silver hair all over his head, his back was hunched, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

It was only because of Qiao Mu's reminder that Xiao Yan knew that the other party was extraordinary.

He looked straight at it, his eyes were extraordinarily curious.

The old man seemed to feel Xiao Yan's gaze, and raised his head slightly, so that his entire face was exposed to Xiao Yan's gaze.

When Xiao Yan saw the opponent's face, there was a flash of fear on Xiao Yan's face.

The old man's face was old, but there was a terrifying scar on his left cheek to the corner of his eye, which added a bit of fierceness to him.

"The maps are on the counter." The old man said lightly, "If you need them, take them yourself."

Xiao Yan frowned, then smiled and said: "Old sir, do you know someone?"

"Who?" the old man asked.

"Ice Emperor Haibodong!" Xiao Yan said slowly, word by word.

Every time he uttered a word, the old man's face changed a little, until he finished speaking, a chill had enveloped him.

"Who are you?" the old man asked.

At the same time, he pressed his hand on a raised spot on the table.

This is connected to the door of the room. As long as you press it, the door can be locked.

However, as Hai Bodong pressed the protrusion, he only heard a crisp sound of "click", and the door did not move at all, which made his expression change a bit.

"Could it be the enemy from the past?" Hai Bodong gradually narrowed his eyes, with a murderous look on his face.

A trace of chilly mist gradually appeared, covering the entire room.

"Don't worry too much, old man. I didn't come to you to fight." Xiao Yan said hastily.

Contaminated by the mist, his skin tingled.

If he didn't know that the teacher was watching secretly, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to point out the other party's identity so openly.

Hai Dongbo said coldly: "Who the hell are you? How do you know my identity?"

Xiao Yan said: "I don't mean to offend, but someone told me that you know about a strange fire in the Tagor Desert..."

"If possible, I hope you can provide me with the information!"

Hai Bodong's expression flickered, but he remained silent.

In his perception, Xiao Yan is just a fighter, and killing an opponent is as easy as crushing an ant.

But the problem is that this matter is full of weirdness everywhere, how does a little fighter know his identity?
Moreover, when he was trying to close the door, he vaguely felt a terrifying soul wave, which made him deeply disturbed.

After a long time, Hai Bodong raised his head, looked at Xiao Yan, and said, "Although I don't know how you know this news, since you can find this place, it proves that you have some abilities."

Xiao Yan coughed lightly and touched his chin, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I do know that there is news about the strange fire above the Tagore Desert," Hai Bodong said, "but you have to promise me a condition before I can tell you about it."

"What?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Are you a pharmacist?" Hai Bodong asked without answering.

Xiao Yan nodded and said, "Barely count."

In the past few days, Yaochen had been instilling some information about refining medicine to him, so he felt that he should be regarded as a member of refining medicine.

"How many pharmacists?" Hai Bodong's eyes flashed with joy.

"No product." Xiao Yan said awkwardly.

"No product?" Hai Bodong was stunned.

His expression quickly became weird and he said, "You don't have to deny it in a hurry, I also know something about alchemists."

He continued: "You should have seen it, my strength has been sealed..."

He told the story of his grievances with Queen Medusa and said: "Over the years, I accidentally obtained an elixir. As long as I can take the elixir called Po'er Dan, my strength can be restored to its original state."

Xiao Yan listened silently.

"If you can help me refine this elixir, I can tell you about the strange fire." Hai Bodong said.

He looked sincere, but there was a cunning in his eyes.

Xiao Yan touched his nose and said, "What kind of pill is that?"

"Sixth Grade." Hai Bodong said.

"Rank [-]," Xiao Yan said with a twinkle in his eyes, "it's not impossible, but it's not possible at the moment."

He looked up at Hai Bodong and said, "I can promise you to help you complete the refining within two years, but you have to give me the map first."

This time he asked for it, it was Yao Chen's test for him, so he didn't want to rely on the teacher casually.

Hai Bodong fell into hesitation.

In fact, he has been probing, but he still can't figure out the details of the young man in front of him, so he doesn't dare to make any rash decisions.

"It's getting late, old man, let's make a decision quickly." Xiao Yan looked back at the setting sun falling from the edge of the sky, and said, "I heard that Queen Medusa also knows about the strange fire. If it doesn't work, I can only go to her."

Qiao Mu also told Xiao Yan about Queen Medusa, and told him that he didn't mind introducing that snake beauty into the tavern.

It's just that Xiao Yan instinctively panicked about the snake-human race, and didn't want to deal with them.

But if Hai Bodong is unwilling to agree, Xiao Yan can only make such a decision. After all, he knows that his every move is under the surveillance of Qiao Mu, and he doesn't want to leave a bad impression on the other party of "killing people for treasure".

"If you promise to help me refine the elixir within one year, then I will promise you." Hai Bodong finally gave in.

　I can’t bear it anymore, so I’ll do one chapter for now and another chapter tomorrow.
