Traveling through Doupo with the ancestral talisman

"Hmph, don't be so reluctant, this is all for your own good!" Lu Yu snorted coldly. A deal is a deal, and no one owes anyone anything.

"Wait for me to clean up." Hai Bodong said repeatedly and went into his room to pack his things.

You can't just enter the desert casually, you need to be fully prepared.

……

Warcraft Mountains, under the waterfall.

Xiao Yan's face showed pain, and a blue-gray color surrounded his body. The originally light yellow fighting spirit had begun to slowly turn into blue-gray.

As Xiao Yan shouted loudly, the cyclone in his dantian suddenly shrank back, completely suppressing the raging Qingming Fire. At the same time, the energy of heaven and earth boiled and surged into his body.

Xiao Yan, who had just refined the Qingming Fire, had no time to catch his breath before he began to break through the difficulty of becoming a Dou Shi.

Yao Lao nodded with satisfaction. He was sure that he had accepted the right disciple. In just one year, he had already broken through to the Fighting Master level.

The young boy, like a rough jade, deserves his careful carving and careful cultivation.

Not long after, Xiao Yan slowly opened his eyes and looked at the blue-gray Dou Qi gauze dress that appeared on his body, his face full of joy.

"Teacher, I have broken through to the Fighting Master level!"

"That's right!" Yao Lao stroked his beard and smiled, "But don't forget, your three-year agreement only has about ten months left."

The joy that Xiao Yan had just felt after his breakthrough instantly disappeared. After a moment of silence, Xiao Yan grinned:

"Teacher, rest assured, I will continue to work hard. No matter how difficult the training is, I am not afraid of it. Just come to me."

Yao Lao chuckled: "In that case, are you mentally prepared for our next destination, the Tagor Desert?"

"It will be a hundred times harder there than in the Monster Mountain Range!"

"Come on, I, Xiao Yan, have endured all kinds of hardships." Xiao Yan laughed, patting his chest.

"Then let's go!" Yao Lao moved like a stream of light and entered the storage ring.

“Haha, let’s go… Hey, teacher…” Xiao Yan paused: “Do you think there are any treasures in the cave of the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King…?”

"Don't even think about it. The companion purple crystal source is extremely rare. I drilled eight purple crystal winged lion king caves and couldn't find it."

"What if?" Xiao Yan didn't give up and asked, "What if we can make a new discovery?"

"You little brat..." Yao Lao held his forehead and sighed.

"Let's go and take a look." Xiao Yan said shamelessly: "Teacher, you have already drilled eight caves, you don't need this one, right?"

"Okay, let's go and take a look." Yao Lao said helplessly.

Xiao Yan chuckled and sneaked towards the cave of the Amethyst Winged Lion King. Under the influence of Yao Lao's soul power, the monsters outside the cave could not find anything.

"Huh?" Yao Lao suddenly exclaimed in surprise, and his calm voice became more emotional.

"Teacher. What's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked hurriedly.

"Something is wrong..." Yao Lao said solemnly, "My Bone Spirit Cold Fire...seems to have sensed something different."

When Xiao Yan heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank and his expression changed drastically!

Chapter 38 It’s all Yao Lao’s fault!

In the desert, the sun is scorching. The sun in the sky is spreading high temperatures wantonly, scorching the entire desert and distorting the air. From a distance, it seems as if the world is distorted.

On a sand dune, Hai Bodong held a jade bottle and jade pieces in his hand, poured out the fiery red viscous liquid, and gently smeared it on Lu Yu's body with the jade pieces.

Lu Yu's body was shaking slightly. The intense burning sensation from the burning blood made him grimace, but he did not groan.

The person who applied the medicine to him was an old man, not a young lady, so it was not worth wasting his expression.

"Brother Lu, this thing is of high quality, right?" Hai Bodong shook the Burning Blood and said in surprise. He was an ice-attributed Dou Qi, and although he hated this kind of fire energy, he could clearly feel the majestic yet gentle energy in it.

This is not in line with the character of fire energy, which is always known for its violence.

"Only a fourth-rank..." Lü Yu glanced at Hai Bodong behind him and said with emotion: "When I have the chance, I must find a beautiful maid. It's uncomfortable to see an old man like that."

Hai Bodong's face darkened. I am the Ice Emperor and have always been served by others. I didn't expect that today, when I had the rare opportunity to serve others, I would be despised by them.

But after Lu Yu finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to him. The burning blood on his body had already been applied to the right place. He formed seals with his hands, closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice.

Looking at Lu Yu who had already entered the state of cultivation in front of him, Hai Bodong's eyes flickered. With his keen eyesight, of course he could tell at a glance that the boy in front of him was just a fighting master of about five or six stars, but how did this guy possess such a strong soul power?

Could it be that some old monster took over someone else’s body and rebuilt it?

Who would be so bored? Besides, taking over a body is not something you can do just by thinking about it...

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore..." Hai Bodong rubbed his eyebrows and turned his gaze outside. He wanted to protect Lu Yu, otherwise if something happened to this kid, his own elixir would be ruined.

An hour later, Lu Yu finished his training, opened his eyes, put on his clothes, and flew towards Shimo City.

"Lü Yu, why don't you go to the place in the west?" Hai Bo asked while running east. The strange fire map he made has three places where strange fire may exist in the end, one is to the west of the current position, one is to the east, and the other one... This is deep into the heart of the snake people, or even further.

That place was the closest to them, but Lu Yu did not choose to go there. Instead, he chose to go to the place to the east.

"The two locations are not too far from us." Lu Yu glanced at them and said calmly, "But there is a city in the east. I can go there to find a pretty maid."

Hai Bodong's eyes twitched. How much do you dislike me, kid?

……

Shimo City, a border city in the desert.

This place faces the Snake People directly and is the first line of defense against them. It is not an exaggeration to call it an important border town and a military stronghold. The city lord is a Dou Ling-level figure, but his main role is actually early warning.

Once there is any unusual movement among the Snake People, the powerful Dou Ling will be responsible for mobilizing people from within the empire.

Inside a building in the west of the city, which is the base of the Motie Mercenary Group, Xiao Ding looked at his younger brother Xiao Li with a serious expression.

"You're a bit impulsive, kid." Xiao Ding said in a deep voice: "I shouldn't have attacked the people of the Sand Mercenary Group at that time..."

"Brother!" Xiao Li glared at his brother: "That bastard Mo Xing is bullying us, why don't you do anything?"

"I mean... you acted too early!" Xiao Ding said unhappily:

"You should wait until we have more people before you start. Be prepared to break all their legs and keep them out of bed for eight days."

"Hehe..." Xiao Li scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. He was indeed not as experienced as his brother.

"Next time you encounter something like this, you should use your brain before you act..." Xiao Ding said, glaring at his brother.

At this time, a female mercenary ran in and reported: "Captain, someone came to visit, saying that he is a friend of your brother."

"We brothers?" Xiao Ding and Xiao Li looked at each other. Yours or mine?

"..."

It seems that neither is true, so it’s just nonsense?

"Let him..."

"Two captains, he is a first-class alchemist."

"...Don't tell me sooner!"

Xiao Ding glared at the mercenary and swallowed back the word "get lost" that was about to come out of his mouth. No matter who this first-grade alchemist was, he had to take his identity seriously.

"Let's go and meet this visiting friend." Xiao Ding clapped his hands and said.

In the reception hall, Lu Yu looked around. The architectural style of the Motie Mercenary Corps was quite simple. Along the way, Lu Yu basically did not see any luxurious decorations.

In fact, with Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's talents, it would not be a problem for them to go to Canaan College.

But Xiao Yan was suffering from the mysterious disappearance of his fighting spirit at that time. In order to provide his younger brother with a way out in the future, his old father Xiao Zhan arranged for Xiao Ding and Xiao Li to go out and form a force, in order to build his own career and to leave a way out for Xiao Yan.

So...it's all Yao Lao's fault!

Otherwise, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li would be able to enjoy a happy college life instead of eating sand here.

"Hahaha, brother, welcome to our Motie Mercenary Group..." Hearty laughter came from outside, and two young men strode over.

Lü Yu smiled and cupped his hands: "Brother Xiao Ding, Brother Xiao Li, I am Lü Yu. I apologize for disturbing you."

The two were stunned for a moment. At first, they thought that he was someone who was deliberately trying to establish a relationship with them. But after being shocked by the alchemist's identity, they chose to ignore the words of the brother's friend.

But now seeing that Lu Yu was so gentle and friendly, a thought arose in their minds... Could it be related to their third brother?

"Brother Lu..." The two men looked a little excited. One of them asked Lu Yu to sit down, and the other asked his men to serve tea.

"Brother Lu, have you met my third brother?" Xiao Ding asked hurriedly. He had been away from home for several years, and it was impossible for his father and younger brother to say that they did not miss him.

"Haha, of course I have seen that kid Xiao Yan..." Lu Yu said with a smile. Seeing their expressions, Lu Yu directly described Xiao Yan's recent situation to them one by one.

Of course, Yao Lao, the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the like were too terrifying for them, so Lu Yu chose to conceal them.

……

At the same time, in the northwest of the city, a white-haired old man kicked open the door of the Sand Mercenary Corps. The huge noise instantly caused the entire Sand Mercenary Corps to panic.

"Damn it, is it that blind bastard?"

"How dare you come to our Sand Mercenary Group to cause trouble!"

"So it's an old thing, hehe...I really think I've lived enough!"

"..."

Hai Bodong looked at the noisy mercenaries in front of him and asked calmly, "Who among you is the leader here, Rob?"

"Old man, since you're here, just stay!" said a sinister man with bandages on his arms and head coldly.

"What a trouble..." Hai Bodong rolled his eyes, and with a bang, his aura suddenly burst out. The violent and chaotic cold wind instantly froze the nearest people into ice sculptures, including the gloomy man just now.

The rest of the people fled in panic to report to the strongest leader of the entire Sand Mercenary Group, Rob.

But in fact, they were not needed. When Hai Bodong burst out with his momentum, Rob ran out desperately as if his butt was on fire.

"Sir... Sir, greetings to you." Rob was sweating profusely, his hands and feet weak with fear. This man was at least a Dou Ling-level warrior. It would be effortless for him to destroy his entire mercenary group.

"Rob, right?" Hai Bodong glanced at the great fighting master who was bending over and kneeling in front of him, and said lightly: "In the next period of time, I need you to do something, okay?"

Rob shook his face and lowered his head: "My lord, it's all up to you. I will definitely do my best."

"Very good." Hai Bodong nodded and threw out a jade bottle: "This is a deposit for you, there will be more in the future."

When Rob took a look, his face immediately showed joy. It was a pill, a third-grade pill!

"Your Excellency, please give me your orders. I will go through fire and water and will not hesitate to die!"

Chapter 39 Green Scales

In the west of the city, the headquarters of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

"My two brothers, this is what Xiao Yan asked me to bring to you." Lu Yu touched the storage ring, took out two bottles of Qi Recovery Pills and placed them on the table, one bottle of third-grade Wind-Running Pills, and one bottle of third-grade Qi Recovery Pills, each bottle contained five pills.

The moment they saw the elixir, both Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's eyes were filled with fiery excitement.

A third-grade elixir was worth at least ten thousand gold coins, and now ten of them were placed in front of them... They had been mercenaries for so many years, and the money they earned might not be enough to buy these things.

"Brother Lu Yu, don't joke around." Xiao Ding suppressed the desire in his heart and pushed the pill back:

"You said my third brother is only a first-grade alchemist, how could he come up with a third-grade elixir? This is your own thing, don't do this."

"I'm not kidding." Lü Yu said with a smile, "This was made by his teacher. I'm not that generous. If you really don't want it, don't blame me."

"Ahem...Brother, since it's given by my third brother, just accept it." Xiao Li said, "Brother Lu came from thousands of miles away to send it to us, we can't do this."

"Well... okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Lu." Xiao Ding bowed and put the things into his ring.

Then he called all the mercenaries together for a dinner to celebrate. They killed chickens and cattle, and the whole group ate to their heart's content. With ten third-grade medicinal pills in hand, the Motie Mercenary Group had no shortage of funds, let alone the food expenses.

The drunk Lu Yu waved his hand and scattered several power-accumulating pills and rejuvenation pills. The entire Motie Mercenary Group was drunk all night and was happier than during the Chinese New Year.

The next day, Lu Yu slowly woke up under Qing Lin's wiping. This was arranged by Xiao Ding. Considering that Lu Yu was a spoiled alchemist, he arranged a maid for him.

"Ah... Sir, you're awake..." Seeing Lu Yu open his eyes, Qing Lin shrank back like a frightened little rabbit, standing in front of Lu Yu, at a loss as to what to do.

"Oh, it's okay, you continue." Lu Yu chuckled. Qing Lin hesitated for a moment, nodded slowly, and slowly wiped the water droplets on Lu Yu's face with the fine cloth in his hand.

"Girl, what's your name?" Lu Yu asked softly, his tone gentle, for fear of scaring the little girl.

"I... my name is Qinglin..." the little girl said timidly: "The captain asked me to come here to serve you, as your maid."

Lu chuckled, all those pills were worth it... I finally got the person I wanted.

The reason why Lu Yu went to so much trouble was very simple. He didn't want to cause trouble, nor did he want to leave a thorn in Qing Lin's heart.
