The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 112: News about the Trade of Strange Fire
"Boy...you don't care anymore?" Hai Bodong was a little surprised. What was the point of having a good fight? But after thinking carefully about Xiao Jun's situation, he seemed to see a glimmer of hope to break the seal.

"and many more……"

Xiao Jun was about to step out of the store when he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to make the worst choice and kill people for treasure!
Turning around, he looked at the white-haired old man in front of him with great interest, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "Old man...what's wrong? Why did you call me?"

"You kid... you are simply a little monster. Are you the disciple of the leader of the Yunlan Sect, the prince of the Jia Ma Empire, or the true descendant of some other major force? You became a Dou Ling at such a young age, and also became a fourth-grade alchemist! Boy... how old are you?" Hai Bodong asked Xiao Jun.

"In just half a year... I'll be fourteen!" Xiao Jun sighed, "Time flies! Time really flies like an arrow!"

When Hai Bodong heard Xiao Jun's sigh, he instantly felt something called "謀" surging in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent.

"You... are fourteen years old? You are already a fourth-grade alchemist!" Hai Bodong raised his voice, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Is it difficult?" Xiao Jun frowned. "If I just practice it casually, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for me to become a fourth-grade alchemist? Besides, I will only become a fourteen-year-old in half a year!"

Freak!

Hai Bodong was speechless for a moment, and could only comfort himself. The Douqi Continent was huge, and there were many things he had never seen before. He should not take it too seriously! What about thirteen-year-old Douling, what about thirteen-year-old fourth-grade alchemists? These were all normal. He was only a Douhuang, and there were still many things he hadn't seen...

After constantly comforting himself and calming down, Hai Bodong finally said to Xiao Jun, "Do you have any news about the strange fire? But are you sure you can find it? Do you know what my cultivation level was before I was sealed?"

Hai Bodong was ready to give Xiao Jun a shock. Dou Huang was a legend of the Jia Ma Empire and a top master.

"Dou Huang!" Xiao Jun said in a calm tone.

"Huh? How do you know?"

"I also know... that you are the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong!" Xiao Jun replied.

Hai Bodong was instantly startled and looked at Xiao Jun carefully: "Did you know from the beginning that I was Hai Bodong?"

"No... I just confirmed it during the fight." Xiao Jun likes to tell the truth, but sometimes he also tells a little lie: "You don't look like someone who was sealed at the Dou Wang level, and you still have a signature fighting skill. With a little deduction, it's possible that they know you are Hai Bodong."

"Then why did you come to me in the first place?"

"You detected me with your soul scan. I discovered that such a master was hidden in the small Stone Desert City, so I came here."

Hai Bodong couldn't help but feel a little skeptical after hearing Xiao Jun's explanation. He nodded and said to Xiao Jun, "Then what exactly is this incomplete map?"

"A treasure map of a strange fire." Xiao Jun replied, "It's where a person recorded the location of their strange fire before they died."

Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Jun's expression and carefully captured the fluctuations of Xiao Jun's soul. He used this method to determine whether Xiao Jun was lying. Although he could not see through many things about Xiao Jun, it was still easy to tell whether a person was lying.

If Xiao Jun could lie in front of the Dou Huang's soul power, it would be impossible, because even if they were at the same level, it would be impossible to lie without any changes if they did not cover their heads and faces to shield their breath and souls.

Xiao Jun's soul fluctuations were very clear and there was no lie.

"So that's it... What kind of strange fire is this?" Hai Bodong asked doubtfully. He observed Xiao Jun's expression, carefully capturing his soul fluctuations, using this method to determine if Xiao Jun was lying. Although he couldn't see through many aspects of Xiao Jun, it was still easy to tell if someone was lying.

Xiao Jun shook his head and said no more. Hai Bodong was not sure whether Xiao Jun really didn't know or just didn't want to say.

"I see... No wonder you want this treasure map! Strange Fire is a supreme treasure for you alchemists!" Hai Bodong began to ponder: "You came to Tagor for the Strange Fire... Let's make a deal!"

"What deal?"

"You know I'm a Dou Huang, and you understand my identity and that I'm sealed. Do you know who sealed me?"

"Who?"

"Queen Medusa!" Hai Bodong uttered the name, his face surprisingly filled with awe. It seemed that Hai Bodong had been caught and beaten by Medusa, leaving a psychological scar!
"Oh!"

"Do you know about the Evil-Breaking Pill? It can only be refined using strange fire! And the Evil-Breaking Pill can break the seal. This is our deal!"

"You want to break Erdan?"

"Yes... I hope that after you refine the strange fire, you can make a pill for me in the future. As a deal... this treasure map is for you!"

"If I refine the strange fire, this treasure map will be useless." Xiao Jun said calmly: "A person can only refine one strange fire. This is common sense! I already have a strange fire, what do I need this treasure map for?"

After saying that... Xiao Jun turned around and prepared to leave! Hai Bodong felt a little anxious and said directly to Xiao Jun: "I have been wandering in the desert for a long time. After exploring, I have already calculated the location of some strange fires! Don't you want to know?"

"No need. If you knew you would have taken the strange fire long ago, your transaction is not sincere and not worth a sixth-grade pill." Xiao Jun's tone was very cold.

"Um... because I would be discovered by Medusa as soon as I entered the desert, so I didn't get the strange fire... and the strange fire conflicts with my attributes, so it is not very useful to me!" Hai Bodong explained: "You have news about the strange fire, do you know where it is?" "I know!" Xiao Jun's tone was very firm.

"Wait... don't you really want this treasure map?"

"not worth it!"

"Plus the news about the strange fire!" Hai Bodong began to raise the price, "Although you are a genius in alchemy, I hope to get a return on my investment, but you are not irreplaceable!"

Xiao Jun then turned around, and a smile suddenly appeared on his originally indifferent face: "That's possible!"

"You... okay!" Hai Bodong was eager to escape. He was unwilling to defend himself when he saw a ray of hope. He had to seize the opportunity, otherwise he would be sealed forever. If he lost this opportunity, would he be able to wait for the next one in the future?

Then Hai Bodong opened a detailed map and drew three circles on it, representing three addresses.

"These are the three locations I finally calculated after exploring the desert terrain. How is your information? Is it as accurate as mine?"

Xiao Jun directly took the broken treasure map from Hai Bodong's hand, nodded and said to Hai Bodong, "It is indeed very accurate, but it may not be true. This treasure map of the strange fire... is also a guarantee. If I can coincidentally collect a treasure map, I will have another option."

"Although the strange fire is precious, it can be found if you look for it! I don't care."

After all, even in Canaan Academy, in addition to the old Fallen Heart Flame, there is also a new Fallen Heart Flame that no one knows about. If you are well prepared to comprehend this new Fallen Heart Flame, it would be a good choice.

Hai Bodong tacitly watched Xiao Jun put away the broken treasure map.

The first reason is that his ice attribute is somewhat incompatible with the strange fire. For example, in the original story, Medusa was at the peak of Douhuang, but she still suffered a lot of injuries when facing the strange fire. This is because of the attribute conflict.

The second reason is investment. Yes, it is for investment. Holding a broken treasure map that may not be collected in a lifetime, this treasure map is very mysterious. It may be helpful for future cultivation, but in front of him is the opportunity to escape the seal and return to Douhuang.

The third is that when facing Xiao Jun, he often feels a strong sense of threat. Xiao Jun in front of him has the cultivation level of Dou Ling, but he cannot see through him. After a careful search, he can only see some superficial appearances. If he deals with Xiao Jun with his current cultivation level, he will either die or be injured.

Hai Bodong understood that Xiao Jun before him was an extremely dangerous person. This extreme danger also meant one thing: this person had enormous potential. If Xiao Jun could truly refine the strange fire and become a sixth-grade alchemist, he would be saved!
And if Xiao Jun accidentally died while refining the strange fire... then his loss would not be that great.

Using a relatively small loss in exchange for the possibility of restoring his own cultivation, this... was already a good enough gain. Hai Bodong immediately came up with a plan and acquiesced to Xiao Jun's actions.

The only risk is that Xiao Jun will run away with the things, but Hai Bodong still needs to bear this risk!

"One more thing... If you truly succeed in refining the Evil-Breaking Pill, I will reward you handsomely! Aren't you an alchemist? Do you need any knowledge of alchemy and some recipes? I've traveled extensively and know some sixth- and even seventh-tier recipes!"

As he spoke… Hai Bodong pointed to his head and said to Xiao Jun, "It's in my head… If you really succeed, you can also gain the friendship of my entire Mitel family… The entire Mitel family… is at your disposal!"

"Don't worry... I'm a man who keeps his promises!" Xiao Jun said with a smile. He knew that Hai Bodong said this to prevent Xiao Jun from running away with the money. In fact, if Xiao Jun was a Dou Huang... or even just a Dou Wang, he could easily capture Hai Bodong's soul and slowly read their memories.

It’s just that Xiao Jun likes normal trading. It doesn’t matter if he makes a little profit or a little loss!

Then I talked to Hai Bodong about some things.

"Hey... can you trade your Beast Power Pill and Three-Striped Green Spirit Pill with me?" Hai Bodong asked, "This pill is very useful to me right now. I need it for the time being!"

"Okay...what do you want in exchange?"

"How about the Ten Thousand Years Mysterious Ice Jade? This is some of what I kept from my cultivation techniques."

"Huh... sure!" Xiao Jun felt a little happy in his heart. This extremely cold earth and stone object might increase the possibility of comprehending the origin of the strange fire!
Hai Bodong handed Xiao Jun a fist-sized crystal. The crystal exuded an extreme sense of coldness, and frost formed around it!
Xiao Jun handed the pill to Hai Bodong and took the cold crystal in front of him!
When he turned around and left the shop, he saw that the people around him seemed to have not noticed Xiao Jun's existence at all. This was the control of the mind by the devil.

Xiao Jun watched as some of the Sky Demons were rapidly expanding and continuously differentiating, while some of the Fourth-Rank Sky Demons were regulating and spreading the Sky Demons.

In a short while, about one-tenth of the people in the entire city were infected and became incubators for the devil.

"It shouldn't take more than a day... for the demons to fill the entire city. After two days, we can harvest the demons for firewood again."

……

Xiao Jun's newest soul instantly began to follow Hai Bodong's information and his own investigation, escaping into the underground of the desert, and soon... discovered a cave filled with a strange atmosphere!
It emitted a scorching breath, which burned Xiao Jun's soul. However, the soul was extremely strong and began to penetrate deeper into the cave... The heat became thicker and thicker. Xiao Jun's soul looked at the magma lake that appeared in front of it, and struggled to endure the terrible firepower.

Then... the split soul widened its eyes. A two-headed snake was swimming freely in the lava lake. Xiao Jun's attention was focused on the two-headed snake, and the two-headed snake also felt a strange feeling and looked towards the place where the split soul existed.

After Xiao Jun's soul felt it, it instantly fled to the ground. When it reached the ground, it instantly turned into a stream of light and flew towards Mo City at a high speed!
