In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 101 Exchanging the Fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame Diagram

Xiao Ran laughed and said, "Just good luck."

The old doctor's eyes darted around, and he sighed.

"When all the good fortune is concentrated on one person, it becomes more than just good fortune."

As he spoke, he pondered the incomplete map once more.

"However, this is only a fragment of the map. If you hand over the rest, I can give you what you want and also the inheritance of a seventh-grade alchemist."

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"Old Yao, do you really think I'm a fool? This is a top-three item, and you call it dirt cheap?"

The old apothecary was slightly taken aback, then said,

"I think this incomplete map should be divided into four parts. If you take out two more parts, I will give you the formula."

Xiao Ran rolled his eyes.

"Give me three incomplete diagrams, and I'll give you a Heaven-Rank cultivation technique, how about that?"

"Master Yao, I respect you as an elder, but you can't just ask for such an exorbitant amount from a junior like me, can you?"

The old doctor chuckled, showing no embarrassment at being exposed.

"Very well, since that's the case, then you can find another incomplete map."

Xiao Ran's eyes darted around, and after a moment's thought, he nodded.

"Okay, but I need to see the prescription first."

The old doctor nodded in satisfaction.

"That's great! I admire straightforward young people like you!"

Xiao Ran said calmly,

"I'm glad I wasn't fooled by you."

The old doctor rolled his eyes.

"How dare you speak like that?"

Then he sighed.

"Sigh! I was even thinking of taking you as my disciple, but it seems that plan has completely fallen through."

As he spoke, he waved one hand.

Suddenly, a large number of pill formulas flew out from the black storage ring on Xiao Yan's finger and floated in the air.

Looking at Xiao Ran, he said,

"These are some common pill formulas from the first to seventh grade on the Dou Qi Continent."

"As for some of the more remote ones, their value is naturally immeasurable."

"You don't usually need it, so I won't give it to you."

Xiao Ran looked at the hundreds of scrolls of pill formulas, each with its own unique color and shimmering luster.

One can't help but marvel at the richness of Yao Lao's collection; he truly deserves to be called a renowned tomb raider on the Dou Qi Continent.

Moreover, seeing how readily the old man agreed, besides the fact that his price was high, the most important reason was probably that his collection was truly substantial.

With a wave of his hand, he stored all the scrolls into his storage ring.

"Thank you, Elder Yao!"

The old doctor nodded and gave instructions.

"Remember to find the other fragment of the map for Xiao Yanzi next time we meet. He's your sworn brother."

"Don't worry, Elder Yao!" Xiao Ran nodded.

He was thinking to himself that once things were settled here, he might have to make a trip to the Tagor Desert.

There was not only another fragment of the map, but also a raging blue lotus flame, a cute little maid, and a cold and aloof queen.

Xiao Ran swore that he had little interest in the queen, the maids, or anything like that.

His main goal was to get his hands on the incomplete map from Hai Bodong and then settle accounts with Yao Lao. He wasn't like some people who didn't care about having too much debt.

The old apothecary put the incomplete map into his storage ring, and then asked,

"Xiao Ranzi, where are you planning to go next?"

Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then shook his head and smiled.

"I don't know either, let's just take it one step at a time."

Then he asked Yao Lao and Xiao Yan,

"Elder Yao, Emperor Yan, I'm not far from here. Would you like to come and sit with me?"

"Okay, okay." Xiao Yan's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

"Good my ass!" Yao Lao slapped Xiao Yan on the head.

Xiao Yan immediately lowered his head in grievance.

The old doctor scolded,

"You are currently in a period of rigorous training. If you indulge in pleasures or external distractions, it will easily erode your fighting spirit."

"Oh, I understand, teacher," Xiao Yan said, looking aggrieved.

Seeing Xiao Yan's aggrieved expression, Xiao Ran also felt somewhat guilty.

What should have been given to Xiao Yan in the first place was instead stolen from his teacher, resulting in a huge windfall for him. He made a huge profit with tears in his eyes.

It's quite possible that the old doctor was also resentful about this matter.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a jade piece from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan asked, puzzled.

"Ran-ge, what's this?"

Yao Lao couldn't help but rub his forehead. It seemed that he would have to give Xiao Yan a proper lesson in the basics of the Dou Qi Continent.

So that Xiao Yan won't look like a country bumpkin when he goes out in the future.

It would be a disgrace to say that he was Yao Chen's disciple.

Xiao Ran said with a smile,

"This is a soul jade piece I made. If you encounter an emergency, you can crush it, and I will come to help you as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Xiao Ran's words, Xiao Yan's eyes lit up even more.

He hurriedly took the jade piece and examined it carefully, turning it over and over.

He already possessed the ultimate move of being possessed by Yao Lao, and now he has Xiao Ran as an additional safeguard.

From now on, I can travel freely and it's safer.

Most importantly, Ran Ge also has a sixth-tier amethyst winged lion king by his side, comparable to a Dou Huang powerhouse.

That's a Dou Huang level expert!

He held the soul jade piece in his hands with great affection, and expressed his gratitude to Xiao Ran.

"Thank you, Brother Ran."

Xiao Ran smiled slightly.

"You're welcome. It's two million gold coins for each squeeze, double for the second, and so on. The selling price will be calculated separately, but the interest will remain the same. Squeeze as much as you like."

"Huh? You want more money? And it's so expensive?"

Xiao Yan's hand trembled, and he almost dropped the jade piece on the ground.

Xiao Ran shook his head, ignoring Xiao Yan.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old doctor.

"Take care, Master Yao! If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

The old doctor smiled and nodded.

"If possible, unless it's urgent, you brothers should try to avoid meeting each other."

"Look at you, now that you've shown up, he can't concentrate on his cultivation here."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, then glanced at Xiao Yan and gave him a thumbs-up before turning and leaving.

After Xiao Ran left, Xiao Yan hurriedly approached Yao Lao and asked him with concern.

"Teacher, what is that thing Ran-ge is holding? How can it be exchanged for so many pill formulas?"

"Didn't you say that each volume of the single-ingredient formula is worth a lot of money? Aren't you losing money?"

The old doctor smiled smugly.

"Hehe, I've never lost money in business."

"Don't be fooled by the large number of pill formulas I gave Xiao Ranzi. Most of them are already circulating in the market and can be bought with a little gold coins."

"Besides, I didn't spend much money on those things. He might feel like he made a profit, but we definitely won't lose out."

"Moreover, as long as we summon that fragment of the map, we won't lose anything, not to mention we also have a rare flying combat technique."

Xiao nodded repeatedly, delighted.

"Oh, I see. Teacher, what was that fragment of the map earlier? It was so valuable."

With a single hand, the old doctor flipped the incomplete map.

He said with a solemn expression,

"Little Yanzi, do you still remember the strange fire I once told you about?"

Xiao Yan nodded.

"Of course I remember."

Suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked at the blueprint in the old doctor's hand and said,

"Could this thing be related to a strange fire?"
