Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 66 Post-Battle Epiphany

Hai Bodong laughed and said, "You showed me your strange fire, which is why you have the opportunity to trade with me. Otherwise, I would rather take it to my grave."

"You want me to help you break the seal?" Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes.

"I obtained a prescription that can break the seal many years ago. Only a sixth-grade alchemist with a different kind of fire can refine it." Hai Bodong glanced at the second-grade alchemist badge on Xiao Yan's chest.

"Although you are only at the second rank now, I believe that with your eccentricities, it won't take you more than a few years to become a sixth-rank alchemist."

It is said that Dan Wang Guhe only became a first-grade alchemist at the age of nineteen. Compared with the talent of the person in front of him, the number one alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire is far inferior.

Xiao Yan chuckled awkwardly, "You really think highly of me? Aren't you afraid I'll take the stuff and run away?"

"Because I also know something about 'different flames.' With my guidance, you'll soon be able to find a different flame in the Tagor Desert," Hai Bodong said with a smile.

Different flames hold a fatal allure for alchemists.

The old alchemist couldn't help but laugh: "Your Ice Emperor of the Jia Ma Empire clearly doesn't know much about alchemists. Normally, an alchemist's limit is having one type of strange fire."

Xiao Yan didn't respond, but instead said to Hai Bodong, "You should ask Pill King Guhe for this. If Pill King Guhe can obtain the Strange Flame, he will owe you a huge favor. Refining a sixth-grade pill for you would be a piece of cake for him."

"Impossible." Hai Bodong shook his head. "I haven't gathered all the medicinal herbs yet. Even if Pill King Guhe obtains the strange fire, he can't immediately refine pills for me. And those medicinal herbs are not easy for even Pill King Guhe to find."

Another reason is that Dan Wang Guhe was basically supported by the Yunlan Sect. His acquisition of the Strange Flame would not be a good thing for the Mittel family.

Hai Bodong said in a deep voice, "As long as you can refine the pills I need, I will not only tell you about the strange fire, but I, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, will also owe you a favor."

Yao Lao said decisively, "Agree to it! I once went to the Tagor Desert, and there is indeed a strange fire hidden in that desert. Information about a strange fire, plus a favor from a Dou Huang, we won't lose out."

"Well, I'll try my best." Xiao Yan nodded helplessly. "How should we contact each other then? Still here?"

If he remembered correctly, the location of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame should be in the southeastern part of Stone Desert City.

Hai Bodong glanced at the chaotic state of the shop, thought for a moment, and said, "Once you're ready, come find me at the Mittel Auction House. Within the Gama Empire, I will definitely arrive within three days."

"You want me to take the initiative to contact you? It seems Elder Hai is quite confident in himself." Xiao Yan chuckled.

Hai Bodong said, "I have been collecting the medicinal materials for that prescription for many years, so I am confident in that."

Having received a free map of the Tagor Desert, Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor left the map shop, which was in complete disarray.

Watching Xiao Yan and his companion slowly disappear through the open door, Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then left the shop.

They hired a huge camel-drawn carriage and Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor immediately headed to Stone Desert City.

These desert carriages are quite large, about the size of a small room, enough for Xiao Yan and Little Fairy Doctor to cultivate in peace.

Having exhausted all his fighting spirit, Xiao Yan immediately began cultivating after the carriage set off.

Although the initial-stage Flame God achieved an absolute victory in the end, his opponent was Hai Bodong, who possessed ice-based battle aura, which gave him a significant advantage, and the entire process only lasted three seconds...

The short duration is also a major drawback.

The desert environment has a high concentration of fire-attribute energy, which is quite beneficial for Xiao Yan's cultivation.

After battling Hai Bodong, Xiao Yan's understanding of the Yin-Yang Twin Flames gradually became clearer.

Hai Bodong's powerful icy battle aura, when facing the equally formidable Xuanhuang Flame, not only restrained it but also stimulated the Xuanhuang Flame to further enhance its power.

However, this is still an external stimulus, and its effect is too low.

On the evening of the fifth day, Xiao Yan's aura reached the peak of a seven-star Dou Zhe.

With a flick of his fingers, Xiao Yan took out the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and swallowed it without hesitation.

A bone-chilling cold current passed through his throat, and Xiao Yan seemed to realize that his throat had already frozen into a ball of ice.

Xiao Yan shivered slightly, with strands of crystalline ice silk swirling around his hair.

The cold current rushed into the body and then flowed out in all directions along the meridians.

Any meridians that are affected by this cold current will quickly be covered with a layer of milky white ice.

Xuanhuang Yan, whose body had suddenly transformed into a frozen world, anxiously urged the Dou Qi vortex to rotate rapidly within it, which was curled up inside the Dou Qi vortex.

With this boost, Xiao Yan's Great Burning Technique operated at a speed far exceeding that of the past, spinning rapidly like a turbine.

The Xuanhuang Flame Battle Qi flowed out along the meridians. When it encountered meridians covered in ice, the temperature of the Xuanhuang Flame immediately increased significantly, melting the ice on the meridians.

Even the wild Green Lotus Earth Core Flame couldn't directly melt the ice, so Xiao Yan's Xuanhuang Flame, which was still quite different from the wild Green Lotus Earth Core Flame, naturally couldn't melt it in one go.

After circulating its battle qi according to the Great Burning Technique, the temperature of the Xuanhuang Flame continued to rise under the suppression of the ice.

After countless cycles, the ice layers adhering to the walls of the meridians melted away, and a faint white mist swirled within them.

The Xuanhuang Flame Battle Qi surged forth, sweeping away all the mist in one fell swoop, absorbing it all like a hungry wolf.

In an instant, the two energies reacted violently.

At this moment, Xiao Yan's skin turned fiery red, as if a volcano was erupting inside his body, with magma surging beneath his skin, making his body resemble a blazing furnace.

A terrifying heatwave swept in like a whirlwind, instantly shattering the carriage.

The camel was terrified, its hooves trembling wildly as it struggled frantically. The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, with fragments flying everywhere, and pieces of the carriage scattering like raindrops.

The earth-shattering explosion immediately caught the attention of Little Fairy Doctor, the coachman, and the old herbalist outside the carriage.

"What kind of trouble is this now?" On the withered poplar tree, Yao Lao was surprised, but his eyes immediately blinked, and a beam of cold white light instantly cut the reins to prevent the camel from pulling Xiao Yan away.

With a neigh, the coachman abruptly averted his gaze from Xiao Yan, who was standing like a little firecracker, and immediately, without thinking, took off after him, shouting, "My horse!"

"You haven't paid yet." Little Fairy Doctor called out to the driver, but when she found he didn't listen at all, she turned to look at Xiao Yan, who seemed to be breathing fire, and murmured worriedly, "What's going on?"
