Battle Through the Heavens: Even without the Burning Flame Technique, I, Xiao Yan, still became an e

Chapter 169 Old Hai, do you still have any money on you?

Before heading to the Black Corner Region, Xiao Yan went to a place called Desert City.

Now that almost a year has passed, we dare to fulfill the promises we made to Hai Bodong.

After all, the fragments of that mysterious map were extremely important to him.

It seems to record the location of a certain strange fire, and even if it requires sacrificing a drop of life essence, I must obtain it.

A year has passed, and Mocheng has not changed much, except that the desert sank due to the previous strange fire riot, and then experienced a seven-day rainstorm.

New oases have appeared in various parts of the desert, seemingly bringing more life than before.

Xiao Yan arrived at Hai Bodong's map shop, where he was intently drawing a map.

He wasn't short of money; drawing maps was just a personal hobby, and only by doing this could he forget about time and avoid the anxious wait.

"Old Man Hai, I'm here."

Xiao Yan's voice made the old man's hand tremble, and he actually tore the map he was drawing.

Such a basic mistake is unlikely to happen to him; it only occurs when he is experiencing extreme emotional fluctuations.

Hai Bodong looked up and found Xiao Yan standing in front of the door. Most importantly, Xiao Yan's aura had become more profound and powerful, and his strength had increased several times compared to a year ago.

"You've already become a Battle King?!"

Hai Bodong found it hard to believe. In just one year, the young man in front of him had gone from a two-star Dou Ling to a two-star Dou Wang. Such speed was simply unimaginable.

Compared to him, all the so-called geniuses of the entire Gama Empire over the past thousand years seem to have become insignificant.

"That's right, I'm about to leave the Gama Empire. I've come here to complete two things. The first is what I promised before: to help you recover your cultivation."

Now that Xiao Yan has the strength of a Dou Huang, he is not afraid that Hai Bodong will suddenly change his mind even if he recovers his strength.

"What about what I want?"

A hint of longing appeared on Hai Bodong's aged face. Xiao Yan had mentioned that he possessed a life-giving object containing enormous energy, which could even extend one's lifespan by hundreds of years.

He would be willing to trade for something like this even if his cultivation level were normal, let alone something where his cultivation level is sealed.

"Don't worry, the item is right here."

Xiao Yan opened his palm, and a small jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Previously, in order to subdue the two strange flames, five drops were used at once. Now, he still has half left. This jade bottle only contains one drop, so he naturally cannot easily take out the remaining four drops.

"Give it to me now!"

Hai Bodong seemed somewhat excited and subconsciously reached out to take the jade bottle.

However, Xiao Yan withdrew his hand: "Elder Hai, I brought what you wanted, but where is what I asked for?"

Hai Bodong knew that the boy in front of him was not a stupid person, and that scheming would be useless.

He then took out the half-finished map: "Here's what you wanted. Let's exchange goods, and neither of us should try to renege."

"Of course. Although I, Xiao Yan, am not a pushover, I always keep my word."

After saying that, Xiao Yan took the initiative to place the small jade bottle on the table in Hai Bodong's shop.

The other party hesitated for a moment, then placed the incomplete map on the table. The two used their fighting spirit to absorb each other's strength and obtain what they wanted.

Xiao Yan took out the previous half and pieced it together, which proved effective.

Hai Bodong opened the bottle cap and sniffed the aroma inside. The fragrance alone was enough to make the sealed Dou Qi within his body circulate.

With that thought in mind, Hai Bodong simply drank the drop of life essence in one gulp.

If it weren't for the need to maintain his image, he would have even wanted to lick the bottle.

As the essence of life entered his body, Hai Bodong felt an immense life force filling his body in that instant.

Battle aura itself is a form of life force. After Hai Bodong consumed the essence of life, the seal imposed by Medusa could no longer suppress his battle aura.

In an instant, a purple chain of light gradually appeared on Hai Bodong's body, which he then forcibly broke through.

With the seal broken, his power returned to his body, and his sea of ​​battle qi became full again.

"drink!"

After Hai Bodong regained his strength, the burst of fighting spirit spread out instantly, shattering the entire shop.

"Haha, my cultivation has finally recovered!"

Hai Bodong even felt that even after breaking through the seal, most of his life force was still intact. His original strength as a five-star Dou Huang even showed signs of breaking through to the sixth star!

Hai Bodong, having recovered his strength in the Battle of Drought, glanced at Xiao Yan. He was quite surprised that the air burst at such close range hadn't even shattered the hem of Xiao Yan's clothes.

After a moment's thought, he abandoned the idea of ​​retrieving the mysterious fragment of the map.

After all, the fragment of the map was only a small part, and there was no need to offend a genius with unlimited potential for it.

On the contrary, given Xiao Yan's current cultivation speed, it might not take more than a few years for his opponent to surpass him in every aspect.

Not only should you not offend such people, but you should also try your best to help them in their time of need, and do everything you can to help them, so that you may also benefit from their success.

Hai Bodong clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, acknowledging Xiao Yan's kindness.

"Elder Hai, I am also very happy that you have regained your strength, but as I said before, the value of this Essence of Life is far greater than this half of the map."

You should be able to sense that there is still a considerable amount of life force contained within that hasn't been consumed. This life force is enough to extend your lifespan by one or two hundred years.

A normal Dou Huang would not live more than two hundred years in his entire life. If you had this extra lifespan, you would probably have a chance to advance to Dou Zong.

The value of this is self-evident, isn't it?

I'm about to head to the Black Corner Region. Hai Bodong seems like a wealthy man, so I should definitely take advantage of him before I leave.

And most importantly, what I give is already very precious, so it doesn't hurt to ask for more.

"Young friend Xiao Yan is right. In that case, I'll give you the recipe and materials for the Breaking Calamity Pill as well."

However, I'm still missing one ingredient for this Breakthrough Pill: something called Sand Mandala. If you want to refine it, you'll probably have to make another trip deep into the desert.

Now that his cultivation had been restored, the recipe and materials for the Breakthrough Pill were no longer needed, so he decided to compensate Xiao Yan with them.

"Then thank you very much, Elder Hai."

A sixth-grade pill formula and materials, although slightly obscure, are worth at least ten million. Xiao Yan accepted them all without hesitation.

Moreover, I had just collected quite a lot of sand mandrake before, so I can use it to practice when I'm able to refine sixth-grade pills.

"By the way, Elder Hai, I recently went to the capital. Elder Mittel Tengshan of the Mittel family entrusted me with finding your successor."

"Luo, I'd like to ask your opinion on this matter."

This is the second thing Xiao Yan needs to do.

Upon hearing the name Mittel Tengshan, Hai Bodong was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: "Never mind, it seems I've been in seclusion for too long. I'll personally go to the Mittel family. There's no need for you, Xiao Yan, to worry about this."

With Hai Bodong's reply, Xiao Yan was finally able to leave with peace of mind, since he had already accepted his reward.

"Oh, one last thing, I'm about to leave the Gama Empire and head to the Black Corner Region. You know how expensive that place is."

At this point, Xiao Yan chuckled and asked, "So, Elder Hai, do you still have any money on you?"
