People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 36 Fish and bear paws
It is only natural to inspect the goods first and then pay.

Chen Xiao nodded without hesitation.

"make a deal!"

As for whether the other party will fulfill the agreement afterwards, no one can guarantee.

The only thing Chen Xiao could guarantee was that if the other party broke the appointment, he could make the news of the Qinglian Earth Core Fire known to everyone.

In this corner of the northwest, there are also many people who want strange fire.

In the future, Xiao Yan and his disciple wanted it, Dan King Gu He wanted it, and after he went to Canaan Academy after a while, Han Feng, the filial piety model of the Black Horn Region, wanted it even in his dreams.

Any one of these people could cause considerable trouble to the snake people.

Queen Medusa nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Tengshan, who was standing outside the hall and looking inside with a nervous expression.

"Now you can tell me the whereabouts of the strange fire you mentioned."

"To the east of Stone Desert City, in the underground magma, that's all I know. Her Majesty the Queen needs to send people to explore for more details. With the exact location and the Serpent People's familiarity with the desert, I think we'll find the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire within ten days!"

"Qinglian Earth Heart Fire?"

"Indeed, this fire takes ten years to become a spirit, a hundred years to take shape, and a thousand years to become a lotus. When it reaches maturity, its color is green, and a cluster of green fire grows from the lotus's heart. This is called the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire. It ranks nineteenth on the list of strange fires. It is more than enough for Her Majesty the Queen to use it for evolution."

Chen Xiao personally feels that the Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Fire is actually the most suitable for the evolution of the Snake People.

However, he did not know the whereabouts of the fire, so there was no need to mention it.

"I've remembered this. I'll leave you an address. You can leave now. If it's really as you said, I'll come find you."

You can turn your back on someone, but there is no need to.

Even Queen Medusa, who didn't know much about strange fire, knew how rare this thing was and that countless alchemists and people with fire attributes were coveting it.

Therefore, breaking the appointment and making Chen Xiao angry and embarrassed was definitely a very unwise move.

"Then Chen Xiao will stay in Mo City, waiting for good news from Her Majesty the Queen."

Chen Xiao clasped his fists slightly, and when he saw the soundproof barrier was removed, he turned around and left without stopping.

Tengshan came forward, eager to know the result, but the only response he got was a look that told him to go back and talk about it later.

After watching the few people disappear from her sight, Queen Medusa returned to the throne and glanced at the flower snake in the corner, which seemed to have no sense of existence at all.

"How true do you think what he said is?"

"This matter is of great importance, and I dare not speculate."

Hearing Hua Sheer's answer, Queen Medusa couldn't help but give her a charming look.

"Boring."

After a long silence, Queen Medusa finally gave an order.

"Lead the Serpent Guards to the edge of the desert and wait quietly. Do not provoke any disputes with humans. While you're hiding, inquire more about the news in Desert City. This little fellow has ice attributes and understandably has no interest in strange fire, but we must also be on guard against him using strange fire to plot against our clan. As for the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire... I will personally go and look for it!"

Chen Xiao had no motive to target the snake people, but as the queen of the tribe, she had to take all possibilities into consideration and think twice before doing anything.

Otherwise, if they really had their way, the Snake People would have been devoured by the surrounding empires long ago.

"Yes!"

The flower snake bowed its head and accepted the order, then left the temple with a seductive figure twisting its body.

...

at dusk.

A group of six returned to Mo City and gathered at Hai Bodong's map shop.

Although Hai Bodong was trying his best to restrain himself, one could still see from his bright eyes that he was very eager to know the result.

"How's it going, kid?"

After everyone was seated, Hai Bodong finally couldn't help but ask.

He had expected that the six people would be able to return safely. After all, as long as Queen Medusa was not a fool, she would not act rashly.

But he could not determine the outcome of the negotiations.

After all, he didn't know what Chen Xiao's bargaining chips were and whether he could attract that woman.

"Ice Emperor, rest assured. Queen Medusa is more rational than I thought. Today's deal is considered a preliminary conclusion. If nothing unexpected happens, the Ice Emperor's seal will be lifted within ten days."

Chen Xiao chuckled and stopped keeping them in suspense.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun and the others looked at Chen Xiao deeply, then smiled and congratulated him. "Congratulations, Ice Emperor! Breaking the seal is within reach!"

"Congratulations!"

"If Hai Lao can recover his strength, then I can finally rest assured."

Tengshan's joy was beyond words, and he was as happy as a child in his forties.

However, Hai Bodong gave him a sidelong glance.

Being able to lift the snake's seal curse was certainly worth being happy about, but he also didn't forget the bet he made with Chen Xiao.

The two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills were not worth mentioning. What he regretted was that this rare and beloved disciple was probably about to fly away.

Fish is what I want.

Bear's paw is what I also want.

However, it seems that you can't have both.

With a long sigh, Hai Bodong temporarily suppressed his hesitation and asked, "Did she put forward any other conditions?"

"If the Snake People are in trouble in the future, I will help them to the best of my ability." Chen Xiao replied.

After hearing this, they understood Queen Medusa's decision even more.

Putting aside the chips proposed by Chen Xiao, the value of this promise alone is inestimable.

With Chen Xiao's talent, he will surely be among the top ten strongest people in the empire in just ten or twenty years. He is a helper that cannot be underestimated.

If he could reach a higher level, the snake people would make a huge profit.

"That's roughly the situation. Next, we just need to calmly wait for the result. It's getting late today, and I have to go back to see Qinglin. Seniors, Chen Xiao will take his leave first."

Chen Xiao bowed slightly, and after several people nodded, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Just as he pushed open the door of the map shop, Hai Bodong called out to him.

"Boy, are you still practicing tomorrow morning?"

"Practice! Tomorrow morning, at the same place, wait for the Ice Emperor."

The improvement of realm is very important, and the accumulation of practical experience cannot be ignored.

Although Chen Xiao prefers to crush others, he cannot guarantee that this will be the case every time.

Therefore, practical experience is something that I may not be able to use, but I must have!
Looking at Chen Xiao's departing back, Hai Bodong smiled.

Perhaps, if we can't be master and apprentice, we can still be friends regardless of age difference.

From this perspective, it is barely acceptable.

"Now that the business is done, then, Ice Emperor, Chief Tengshan, we will take our leave. If you need such a good thing next time without any effort, please call us anytime."

Feng Li and Yan Shi stood up at the same time, and did not forget to make a joke beforehand.

Seeing this, Yun Yun and Nalan Jie on the side also stood up and said goodbye.

"Thank you all for your support this time. When I return to the imperial capital, I will invite you all to a small gathering again."

Hai Bodong gave him enough face and stood up to see him off.

The four streams of light faded away, and soon, only Hai Bodong and Teng Shan were left in the map shop.

"Old Hai, the way this Yun Sect Master looks at Chen Xiao seems a little strange. I'm afraid she also wants to recruit him into the Yunlan Sect. Do you think she will take a detour and come back?"

Hai Bodong glared at Tengshan. "What does this have to do with you? Don't worry, that kid is very smart. Even though I'm so compatible with him, I'm still unwilling to become his disciple. The Yunlan Sect is even more impossible, unless Yun Yun joins the game herself. But with her personality, do you think it's possible?"

"What Elder Hai said is correct. By the way, on the way back, I sent a message to my family, asking them to ask the president of the Alchemist Guild to refine two Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills. They will be delivered to me soon."

"This is something a human being should do. If you are more sincere and less business-minded, it won't hurt to make friends with him."

"..."

Tengshan was speechless.

He was obviously an old man in his sixties, but in Hai Bodong's eyes, he was still an immature young man.

Those who make friends based on money will lose their friendship when their money is gone; those who make friends based on beauty will lose their love when their beauty fades.

How could he not understand such a simple truth?
