Chapter 232: Meeting Hai Bodong Again

A handsome-looking youth stood before a shop with an ancient map sign. He wore a white long gown with a black belt around his waist, looking very dashing.

The youth walked into the shop, looked up at the old man drawing maps seriously in the corner, and a smile hooked onto the corner of his mouth.

After the old man drawing maps felt the youth's gaze, a trace of imperceptible surprise appeared on his face because he actually couldn't investigate the youth's strength. A strange arc hooked onto the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself: "How did so many talented youths appear suddenly? This youth gives me a feeling even more terrifying than the last one."

Just at this moment, a woman in red walked in, first respectfully greeting the old man, then helping the old man brew a pot of good tea, and began to organize the somewhat messy maps.

Looking at the woman's attire, she was either rich or noble, yet she came here to do chores for an old man, which was truly somewhat strange.

Xiao Yan walked to a table and sat down, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and praised: "This tea is not bad, the taste is fragrant and sweet, very delicious."

"Hehe, it hasn't even been half a year. To say I could meet two terrifyingly powerful youths in a row, the probability is truly too small. And the little brother is clearly here for me. If I still couldn't guess this, that would truly be strange." Hai Bodong said with a smile.

"As expected of one of the top ten experts of the Gama Empire!" Xiao Yan praised.

"This is a cultivation method suitable for you. I don't have time to teach you, and I won't take you as a disciple. I will leave here in the future, so don't waste your efforts." Hai Bodong took out a scroll and handed it to the woman in red, then directly issued an order to evict the guest.

"Hehe, don't say such depressing words! Besides, you won't be one soon!" Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong and said with a faint smile.

"Who are you? How dare you be so rude to Ice Master? Is the tea I brewed for the Master something you can drink? Get out, or be careful of your little life!" Seeing Xiao Yan was so rude and actually dared to drink the tea she brewed for Hai Bodong personally, the woman in red threatened him instantly.

"I am telling you to leave!" Hai Bodong stood up and looked at the woman in red and said.

However, the woman in red wasn't a fool. Seeing Xiao Yan's powerful strength, she naturally knew in her heart that this wasn't someone she could provoke, so she turned her gaze toward Hai Bodong.

After Xiao Yan followed Hai Bodong to the secret room, he looked around and discovered that this secret room was indeed not bad, then turned to Hai Bodong and said: "You know the rules of an Alchemist, right?"

Seeing Xiao Yan actually dared to ignore her and was so disrespectful to Hai Bodong, the woman in red knew her chance to perform had come. She punched Xiao Yan, the wind whistling, carrying an incomparably sharp momentum, and struck Xiao Yan's body violently.

"Why don't you hurry and find a quiet place?" Xiao Yan said with a playful look.

"Damn brat, you want me to be a coolie again! But I won't help this time. At most, I'll guide you from the side. After all, you are fully capable of refining this Broken Evil Pill." Yao Lao transformed into a ball of white light and floated out from the ring, directly refusing.

"Teacher, come out to work." After Hai Bodong left, Xiao Yan looked at the black ring on his hand and said.

"Yes! Yes! Please follow me!" Hai Bodong's face was flushed with excitement, and he hurriedly led Xiao Yan toward his secret room.

"How did you discover it was me?" Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bodong with some surprise.

"Alright, aren't you just wanting me to refine it well? Rest assured, even without the Broken Evil Pill, I can remove the seal on your body. Don't act like I snatched your wife." Xiao Yan pouted with disdain.

"This pill recipe was obtained after I spent a lot of effort, and these medicinal materials, every single one was obtained at a great price." Hai Bodong said with a look of heartache.

"Did you hear that? Ice Master is telling you to leave!" The woman in red looked at Xiao Yan and said.

"Then hand over the pill recipe and guard outside! Refining this Sixth-Rank pill will take quite some time. If you get anxious halfway and barge in, don't blame me then." Xiao Yan said indifferently.

"Boom!" A muffled sound came, and Xiao Yan didn't even move, instead making the woman in red's fist ache.

"Could it be..." Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Yan with excitement.

The woman in red clutched her reddened fist, looking at Xiao Yan in shock, as if looking at a monster. She was a Dou Zhe after all, yet her full-strength attack was easily neutralized by Xiao Yan. This was simply mind-boggling.

"That is already a thing of the past. The current me is nothing but a piece of trash." Hai Bodong mocked himself.

"Isn't this just practice material? Besides, your soul level has reached the Mortal Realm Great Perfection. If you have my guidance and still can't refine this Broken Evil Pill, don't say you're my disciple." Yao Lao pointed at the medicinal materials on the stone platform and said.

"Wh... what? You're letting me leave?" The woman in red felt somewhat unbelievable. She had taken care of Hai Bodong for so long, without credit or hard work, yet a light sentence denied all her long-term dedication.

"Uh..." Hearing this, Hai Bodong was stunned, but seeing Xiao Yan didn't seem to be lying, and thinking of Xiao Yan's identity, he felt relieved. He bowed respectfully to Xiao Yan and walked out.

"Sigh! Seeing as she brewed a pot of tea for me, I should give her some benefits." Seeing the woman in red crying so sadly, Xiao Yan felt somewhat annoyed.

"Of course I know. Medicinal materials and pill recipe are self-prepared, no responsibility for failure, and if successful, you can obtain the pill recipe and remaining medicinal materials." Hai Bodong said with a bitter smile.

After the woman in red obtained the scroll, although somewhat unwilling, she could only choose to leave. After all, if she angered Hai Bodong, she might not even get this cultivation method.

"You leave! And don't come again in the future!" Hai Bodong said with a flat tone.

However, the woman in red didn't dare to say anything because she knew Hai Bodong's strength and could only stand there and cry loudly.

"Teacher, you aren't joking, are you? I only just learned to refine Fifth-Rank pills before I went into seclusion to absorb the Exotic Fire. Isn't it a bit too early to let me refine Sixth-Rank pills now? At least I should get some Fifth-Rank and Sixth-Rank pills to practice with!" Xiao Yan said with a lack of confidence.

"How much is this shop worth! I'll buy it, Young Master." Xiao Yan didn't even pay attention to the woman in red and said directly like a second-generation ancestor.

"Broken Evil Pill: Has the miraculous effect of breaking most seals. After taking it, it can also form a resistance against this type of seal in the body. In the future, if one encounters this type of seal again, there is a certain chance to be immune to it!"

After the woman in red left, Hai Bodong turned to look at Xiao Yan and smiled faintly: "Little brother, why did you suddenly change your outfit, and even your face is different from before."

"That's right! That's right! I will definitely guard outside properly and not let anyone in, including myself." Hai Bodong took out a pill recipe from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.

"Uh... using these materials to refine the Broken Evil Pill, isn't it too extravagant?" Xiao Yan's mouth twitched slightly. Using Hai Bodong's treasured medicinal materials to practice, wasn't that somewhat unethical?

"Although this Broken Evil Pill is rare, the refining method isn't too difficult, so it's just right for you to practice. Besides, the medicinal materials needed for Sixth-Rank pills are exceptionally precious and hard to find. It's rare to have such an opportunity, so don't cherish it." Yao Lao explained.

"That's true!" Xiao Yan nodded and didn't refuse anymore.
