Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

Guardian Wu is staying in the Yunlan Sect, which is a force in the Jia Ma Empire that can rival the royal family. Lu Yu cannot be too ostentatious. What if news about him gets to the ears of Guardian Wu?

After entering the city and replenishing his supplies such as water, food, and clothes, Lu Yu went straight to the Alchemist Guild.

In the Alchemist Guild, Lu Yu lied about his age, saying he was in his twenties instead of seventeen or eighteen. Plus, he didn't have the ability to show off like Xiao Yan during the assessment, so it didn't cause any waves.

Moreover, he was only testing a first-grade alchemist.

After leaving a message in the Alchemist Guild that he wanted to exchange the Blood Lotus Essence for a fourth-grade pill recipe, Lu Yu disappeared.

His purpose in doing this was simple, to lure the snake out of its hole!

……

An hour later, in the Alchemist Guild, in the office of Vice President Otto.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open and a sloppy old man ran in in a hurry.

"Otto, where is the person who wants to trade the Blood Lotus Essence?" The sloppy old man's face flushed, and he asked repeatedly while leaning on Vice President Otto's desk.

"Gutt, you old bastard, you kicked my door in!" Otto suddenly slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily. The fighting spirit in his body rose and he instantly turned into a fire man.

"Don't talk to me about this!" Gu Te urged again and again: "Tell me where the Blood Lotus Essence is? I almost bought all the Coptis Essence in Black Rock City, but I still can't find it!"

"Haha!" Otto was no longer angry, put away his fighting spirit, crossed his arms and sat back in his chair, tapping his crossed legs and sneering:

"Gute, is this how you beg people? Is this how you beg people?"

The slovenly old man named Gu Te twitched his lips and said, "Forget it, I'll go find Falkland!"

"Did you forget?" Otto said calmly, picking his nails. "I am the vice president in charge of transactions. I haven't reported it to the president yet."

Gut: “…”

Damn it, I forgot about this!

"Tell me, what do you want?" Gut had a dejected look on his face. He had to bow his head when asking for help.

"Fix the door and come in again." Otto pointed to his own door and smiled, "Remember to be polite~"

The corner of Gut's mouth twitched, and veins popped on his forehead, but he still obediently fixed the door, then knocked respectfully and greeted honestly.

In front of the genius and treasure, he was very obedient.

"Well, you've done very well." Vice President Otto stroked his beard, nodded, and smiled, as if he was pleased to see his own child grow up:

"This is where he stayed, you can go there by yourself." Otto handed over a note and said with a smile.

Gut curled his lips, secretly cursing the old man for being narrow-minded, and then ran out.

Outside the Alchemist Guild, Lu Yu looked at Gut who was running out and slowly followed him.

Chapter 35 The arsonist is Xiao Huohuo!

"What!?"

"You said that person has left?" Gut slammed the table, glared at the innkeeper, and spit all over the innkeeper's face.

"Are you sure you read that correctly?"

The innkeeper could only raise his head and try to stay away from Gut. If it weren't for the badge of a third-grade alchemist hanging on the chest of this old bastard, he would have asked someone to chase this bastard away long ago.

"Sir, the other party has indeed left. He checked out half an hour ago." The innkeeper wiped the spit from his face and said speechlessly:

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken. That first-class alchemist was very handsome. I remember him very clearly."

"Damn it, it's all Otto's fault!" Gut clenched his fist and cursed: "If that old bastard hadn't wasted my time, how could I be like this?"

"No, let's go and cause trouble for him... Forget it, I can't beat him!" Gut sighed and walked towards his home dejectedly. He was just a great fighting master, while the other party was a fighting spirit.

However, what he did not notice was that in the dark corner, a figure was looming and following him from a distance.

……

At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. The bright moonlight shines down, and even without a lantern, you can see the road clearly.

Tonight is a pleasant evening.

In the south of the city, in a remote building.

Gu Te carefully held a white jade box the size of a washbasin, his face full of obsession: "Baby... my baby..."

Gut carefully opened the white jade box, revealing many ice cubes inside. In the center of the ice cubes was a rouge jade bottle.

This thing is the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, which Gut had to go through great pains to snatch from a colleague... Oh no, it was a good thing he obtained through trade.

Bang!

A dull thud suddenly sounded, and the door of his room was kicked in along with the door frame.

Gut shuddered and was so scared that he almost dropped the Ice Spirit Cold Spring in his hand. Fortunately, he loved the treasure like his life and protected it in his arms at the first time.

"Otto, what are you doing, you old lunatic!" Gut yelled.

He subconsciously thought that it was Otto's doing. After all, he had just kicked his door open this morning, so it was reasonable for him to come and take revenge in the evening.

However...what floated in from the door was a black robe.

His feet were not touching the ground, he was floating in the air, his hooded face was deep and dark, like a black hole swallowing up all the light.

"Damn it! Who are you!" Gut was horrified and shouted repeatedly.

“Hehehe… give it to me!”

Lu Yu laughed strangely and stretched out his hand. The Ice Spirit Cold Spring in Gut's hand instantly fell into Lu Yu's hand.

"Ah! My baby... Bei..." Gut screamed, but Lu Yu hit him on the back of the neck with a knife, and his body softened and he fell into coma.

Lu Yu laughed, took out a rope, tied Gut up, and tied him tightly to a pillar.

then……

"Hehehe... these are all my treasures!" Without saying a word, Lu Yu packed all the medicinal herbs in Gut's house into the storage ring.

Then the soul power spread out, carefully and seriously scanning every corner of the room.

"Huh? There seems to be something?" Lu Yu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise. He pressed his five fingers on the wall and pulled off a piece of wall panel, revealing a palm-sized jade box.

When Lu Yu opened it, he was immediately shocked.

Inside the jade box was a thumb-sized gray stone, which was smooth all over and as flawless as a piece of jade, but there was a crack on it, through which one could clearly see the inside of the gray stone.

Inside the stone, there was a faint blue light, gently moving.

"Naling?" Lu Yu couldn't help but exclaimed. He didn't expect that Gut actually had this thing.

Three things that devour the strange fire: Blood Lotus Pill, Ice Spirit Cold Spring, and Na Ling.

According to Yao Lao, all three are indispensable, but Lu Yu is a little different. With the Devouring Ancestral Talisman protecting his body, he does not need the first two. But Na Ling is different, it must be there. Without it, there will be nowhere to put the fire.

"I've come to the right place this time." Lu Yu chuckled, took down all the walls in the room, cleared out everything inside, and put it all into the ring.

"What a great harvest..." Lu Yu chuckled, turned around and left the house, but... his footsteps suddenly stopped.

Now that you're here, you have to leave something behind!

Lu Yu's eyes rolled, and he took out a pen and wrote a sentence on the pillar where Gu Te was tied:

The arsonist is Xiao Huohuo!

"Perfect!" Lu Yu chuckled, then took out a fire starter, set the whole house on fire, and then walked away, disappearing into the night.

A few minutes later, flames shot up into the sky, clearly visible in the night.

In the Alchemist Guild, Falkland and Otto walked out of the office at the same time and looked towards the south of the city in surprise.

"Old O, that direction is Gut's house, right?" Frank asked uncertainly.

"It's his house, for sure." Otto looked strange. "Did someone visit his treasure room? Who is so kind to help us vent our anger..."

“Ahhhhhh! My baby! My baby ahhhhhh——!”

Before Otto finished speaking, a cry came from the south of the city, like a cuckoo crying blood, sad and desolate, so sad that it would make anyone who heard it cry...

“Ahahahaha…!” Otto slapped his thigh and laughed wildly: “The old man’s treasure trove has finally been visited by someone, hahahaha!”

"Otto, you can't do this. We are members of the Alchemist Guild and have received strict training. We must not laugh...hahaha..." Falkland pulled Otto up:

"Hahaha, let's go visit an old friend, hahaha..."

“Remember, hahahaha, you must not laugh hahahaha…!”

……

The next day, the culprit Lu Yu came to the center of Black Rock City and arrived at the "airport", preparing to take a plane to the Tagor Desert.

Of course, in the Douqi Continent, this kind of place is not called an airport, but a flight transportation company, which is responsible for air transportation and mainly provides passenger transportation.

For example, powerful warriors such as great fighting masters and fighting spirits, who sometimes need to be in a hurry but have no shortage of money, will choose this way of travel.

Although Lu Yu could fly, flying by himself was so tiring. He had to go in the wind and rain, which was hard and tiring, and it was a waste of his energy.

Things that can be done with money never require physical effort. Of course, it is a different story if you have no money.

Because of his identity as an alchemist, Lu Yu was treated as a VIP all the way and boarded an exclusive flight for alchemists, which was free of charge throughout the entire journey.

I have to say that the identity of an alchemist is really good and can save me a lot of trouble.

As the flying monster slowly took off, under the command of the trainer, it flew towards the eastern direction of the Gama Empire.

Looking at the Black Rock City that was getting smaller outside the window, Lu Yu's eyes flickered. If only the Little Medical Fairy was here now, it would be great. The journey was lonely and he really needed a companion to chat with.

Shaking his head, Lu Yu suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, sat cross-legged, and began to practice.

Since I'm bored, practicing is the best way to kill time. I can enter a state of meditation, and by the time I come to my senses, a whole day has passed.

……

Three days later, the flying monster landed steadily in the center of Mo City, one of the largest cities on the edge of the Tagor Desert. Perhaps because he was not the protagonist, Lu Yu did not encounter as many troubles on the way as Xiao Yan.

The alchemists traveling with them were relatively friendly. Except for one or two who were fooling around with the maids, the others were very quiet, and there were no bloody incidents in the air.

Coming out of the city center, Lu Yu strolled slowly around the city, buying some snake repellent and some high-level monster feces to drive away and protect his camp.

Lu Yu had already prepared various dry rations and food when he was in Black Rock City. Next... was the map!

After asking around, Lu Yu found out about a shop called "Gutu". According to the other party, this was the best map shop in the entire Mocheng.

The maps produced by this store are incredibly detailed and extremely accurate, even better than those made by the official Gama Empire.

After hearing this, Lu Yu was speechless. If he guessed correctly, it should be Hai Bodong’s shop, but the problem was...how could such a reputation be considered seclusion?

"Forget it...it has nothing to do with me. Let's go get the map..." Lu Yu muttered as he walked towards where the "ancient map" was.

Chapter 36 Hai Bodong

In the southeast of Mocheng, on a street, all the shops here sell maps. People come and go, and it is very lively and noisy.

At the left end of the street, there is a map shop called "Gutu". It is quiet here, but not deserted. There are not many people coming and going, only two or three.

These people seemed to have a tacit understanding. They kept silent to each other, took the map, put down the gold coins, and then walked out of the shop without saying a word during the whole process.

When Lu Yu arrived, there was no one in the shop except a white-haired old man drawing a map. He was concentrating on his work and didn't care about Lu Yu's arrival at all.

Lu Yu carefully looked at the white-haired old man who was drawing.

One of the ten most powerful men in the Jia Ma Empire, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, has white hair and an old face. On that old face, there is a scar that runs from the forehead to the chin, which looks shocking and full of murderous intent.

Logically speaking, this kind of person is not a good person at first glance, and the strong people in the city should pay more attention to him. What if this old guy is the murderer from many years ago?

But according to Lu Yu's perception, no one noticed any of the surveillance people. It might be that the law enforcers in Mo City were blind.

Speaking of which... Lu Yu's heart moved. Some of the medicinal herbs he robbed from Gut could constitute half of the Fuling Purple Pill, and they were also some of the rarest medicinal herbs needed for the Fuling Purple Pill.

It doesn't seem difficult to collect a little bit of the herbs needed to make a set of Fuling Purple Pill.

Lu Yu looked around and walked straight to an ancient wooden shelf, on which were piled a pile of yellowed maps.

"Do you want to buy a map?" Hai Bodong raised his head, looked at Lu Yu with his cloudy old eyes and asked indifferently, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. This kid's appearance is not inferior to his own back then!

"There are only abandoned maps there, let's go somewhere else."

Lu Yu's face twitched. I remembered that he was indifferent to Xiao Yan in the original novel. Why is he so concerned about me?
