"Fine, then don't do it. You're just spouting nonsense." Xiao Xuanyuan rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the old man anymore, and got up to leave.

"Wait!" Just as Xiao Xuanyuan reached the door and was about to step out, Hai Bodong shouted from behind.

"What? You agreed?" Xiao Xuanyuan slowly turned around and looked at him expressionlessly.

Hai Bodong's expression kept changing, and finally he gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "I'll do it!"

Hearing Hai Bodong's reply, Xiao Xuanyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face. He walked back into the shop and said, "That's right! See how much of a bargain you got? You can have a high-level alchemist to help you solve your problems anytime, while you can only help occasionally. You got a great deal."

Still seemingly uneasy, Xiao Xuanyuan proposed signing an agreement with the other party, and they each signed their own name and the other party's name on the agreement, and pressed their fingerprints above their names.

Holding the agreement, which was entirely in accordance with his wishes, Xiao Xuanyuan's face lit up with joy. The terms stated that Hai Bodong was willing to be his top enforcer, and that he would arrange for the marriage of Ya Fei from the Mittel family to Xiao Xuanyuan—all voluntary. With the agreement in black and white, and bearing the names and fingerprints of both men as proof, Hai Bodong had no way to deny it.

With a thought, Xiao Xuanyuan put the agreement into his storage ring. He glanced at Hai Bodong, who seemed somewhat lost and dejected, and patted him on the shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry, I'll take care of you from now on. But don't try anything funny, or killing you will be a piece of cake for me. Besides, this is an alliance, not a sale."

Before leaving, Hai Bodong said, "Currently, I am still lacking a certain medicinal ingredient called Sand Mandrake. It can only be found in the Tagor Desert, and the higher the temperature, the easier it is to find... However, I cultivate an ice-attribute technique, and I also have a seal placed on me by Queen Medusa. As soon as I step into the depths of the Tagor Desert, she will detect me, so..."

At this point, he looked at Xiao Xuanyuan.

“Yes, that’s no problem at all. I can help you find it.” With that, Xiao Xuanyuan left the shop, and Hai Bodong even gave him a detailed and accurate map of the Tagor Desert.

In return, it provided information about the strange fire hidden in the Tagor Desert. The three flames marked very conspicuously on the map were located in the east, west, and north directions.

Xiao Xuanyuan seemed to still have some idea of ​​the exact location of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. As long as his sudden appearance as a butterfly didn't completely interfere with the world's trajectory, then presumably, what was meant to exist would remain, and the general direction wouldn't change. What had changed was that someone had quietly taken his place.

After leaving the shop, Xiao Xuanyuan glanced back at the simple and unadorned shop door, shook his head slightly, stopped thinking about it, and began to walk towards the nearest street leading out of the North Gate.

Throughout the entire process, Elder Yao observed and reviewed everything. Even when Xiao Xuanyuan agreed to a series of requests, he did not utter a word to disturb him.

Now that the matter has been successfully resolved, Xiao Xuanyuan asked via telepathy, "Elder Yao, is there any problem with you refining that sixth-grade pill for me?"

"Hmm." The old medicine doctor nodded slightly, but then he added, "You trust him so much, aren't you afraid he might frame you or deliberately lead you to some dangerous place?"

"What are you afraid of? He still needs us to refine pills. If something happens to me, who will he turn to? Don't worry, don't overthink it." Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head helplessly.

"I hope I'm overthinking it." The old man fell silent again.

"You old folks are really something, always acting like you're old and calling yourselves 'old man.' Can't you be a little more humble and just call yourselves 'I'? Really..." Xiao Xuanyuan complained, shaking his head speechlessly.

However, the old man remained silent.

It was a bright and sunny day, but since it was morning, the sun wasn't extremely hot. Xiao Xuanyuan prepared some clean water and some medicinal herbs along the way before leaving the north gate and entering the desert.

Once outside Mo City, all that met the eye was an endless expanse of golden desert. After glancing once more at the two blood-red characters of Mo City, Xiao Xuanyuan no longer lingered and strode confidently into the endless desert ahead.

Xiao Xuanyuan originally planned to have the Wind Spirit Bird Xiaoxiao carry him directly to the nearest flame marker on the map, but this was stopped by Yao Lao, who called it desert training, which made Xiao Xuanyuan curse inwardly.

Training, training my ass! Why not take the path that allows you to fly and travel? Why insist on this miserable walking? Are you out of your mind? But there's no other way. I have to listen to Elder Yao. So be it. At most, it'll just be a miserable journey of ten days or so.

Xiao Xuanyuan roughly estimated that the location of the strange fire in the east was near Shimo City, about ten or twenty miles away from Southeast Mo City. If calculated by walking distance, it would take seven or eight days.

Without thinking too much for the time being, Xiao Xuanyuan left Mo City and, following the gradually warming sun in the sky, chose a direction and began his desert journey, which was what the 'Medicine' Lao called a training and cultivation experience.

After traveling for an hour, the desert city behind them disappeared into the desert, and all that remained before them was a vast expanse of golden sand.

The sand beneath his feet was scorching hot from the sun, and the blazing sun shone down relentlessly. This harsh environment made Xiao Xuanyuan quite uncomfortable for a while.

Chapter 86 Departure

"Really? You can refine pills for me anytime?" Hai Bodong hesitated, but he was also quite tempted. After all, it was really difficult to get a high-level alchemist to start refining pills!

Not only do they incur a favor, but they also have to provide a large quantity of medicinal herbs. The amount of herbs requested is entirely at the alchemist's discretion; after all, even the most skilled alchemist can't guarantee a 100% success rate in every pill-refining attempt. Therefore, those who request alchemists to refine pills are essentially at their mercy!

"Why would I lie to you? A gentleman doesn't speak falsely. Besides, you must marry Ya Fei to me; she's my woman." Xiao Xuanyuan's expression was extremely serious and meticulous.

"This twenty-year period..." Hai Bodong still wanted to negotiate with Xiao Xuanyuan, hoping that the other party could shorten the time.

"Fine, then don't do it. You're just spouting nonsense." Xiao Xuanyuan rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the old man anymore, and got up to leave.

"Wait!" Just as Xiao Xuanyuan reached the door and was about to step out, Hai Bodong shouted from behind.

Chapter 87 An Encounter

puff!

A wisp of fire, crackling with lightning, flashed by in an instant, then shot into the scorching sand beneath Xiao Xuanyuan's face.

After a piercing scream, a wisp of black smoke rose from where the flames shot out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"How many times have we been ambushed? I never imagined that so many desert monsters would be hidden beneath this scorching desert," Xiao Xuanyuan said helplessly.

"Don't always rely on the strange fire. Occasionally, you can also hone your fighting spirit and skills. This way, your progress might be faster. Also, the reason for advocating to come to the Tagor Desert for training is not just to go through the motions. Although your physique is strong now, the climate and environment here may bring you extraordinary gains." The old man rolled his eyes and said, inside his ring.

"Alright, I understand what you mean." With that, Xiao Xuanyuan withdrew the lightning dragon flames from his palm, and the Xuan Heavy Ruler instantly appeared in his hand, which he quickly tied to his back. The ground beneath his feet sank slightly as a result.

"Then, I will now begin my arduous training in the desert." Feeling that the fighting spirit within his body was slightly sluggish due to the possession of the Xuanzhong Ruler, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes revealed a resolute look.

The journey ahead was undoubtedly much more difficult. Since Xiao Xuanyuan was carrying the Xuan Heavy Ruler, he couldn't use the Strange Fire. All he could use were the fighting techniques he was familiar with. Of course, he could still use the Xuan Heavy Ruler.

These are all things that Xiao Xuanyuan, who already possesses great experience and innate talent, can easily overcome. Whether it is the strength and storage capacity of his battle qi or his battle skills, they are all unparalleled. Strong people of the same level are simply no match for him. Naturally, Xiao Xuanyuan is not afraid of the harsh environment and external threats of this desert.

With Xiao Xuanyuan deliberately slowing down his pace, the old doctor would occasionally come out to apply some special ointment to him, which was very suitable for him to concentrate on his cultivation in the desert. The speed was also extremely fast, and five days later, Xiao Xuanyuan successfully advanced to the level of a four-star Dou Shi.

Two more days passed, and Xiao Xuanyuan was gradually approaching the location marked by the Eastern Strange Fire, Stone Desert City. According to the detailed description on the map, the strange fire was located southeast of Stone Desert City, and he only needed to travel for two more days to reach it from his current position.

On this very day, the eighth day of Xiao Xuanyuan's desert training journey, he encountered a wounded mercenary.

In the vast desert, golden sand is the only dominant color. The wind carries sand, sweeping across the sky and earth, howling incessantly.

Climbing up a steep desert slope, Xiao Xuanyuan shielded his eyes from the blazing sun with his palm and gazed into the distance. Suddenly, in his vision, he saw a figure lying on the sand in the distance, struggling painfully and crawling forward.

Upon seeing the man, Xiao Xuanyuan, despite his exhaustion, leaped forward in a few quick steps and arrived in front of him.

"Huh, how did he get so badly injured?" He hadn't seen it clearly from a distance, but as he got closer, Xiao Xuanyuan noticed that the man before him was covered in blood, his face a bloody mess. He was still gritting his teeth, crawling forward in agony.

Upon hearing the sound, the man seemed to dazedly raise his head, but due to his severe injuries, before he could even see the person in front of him clearly, he collapsed to the ground and fell into a coma.

"Sigh, what a hassle." Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Xuanyuan took out a healing pill from his storage ring, turned the man over, pried open his mouth, and flicked the pill into his mouth with his fingers.

After the man swallowed the pill with a gulp, Xiao Xuanyuan shook him off, took out some water to wash his hands, and the water flowed down his palms and onto the man's face.

Stimulated by the cold water and the pill he had ingested, the man slowly woke up again in the blink of an eye.

"Where am I?" The man rubbed his throbbing head, groggily opening his eyes. Suddenly, he slapped his head and exclaimed urgently, "Help! Help! I need to get back to Stone Desert City for reinforcements!"

"Save someone? Save whom?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan looked at him curiously.

Only then did the injured man notice Xiao Xuanyuan standing in front of him. After unconsciously taking a few steps back, he slowly looked up and saw the handsome face. He felt a little relieved: Xiao Xuanyuan didn't seem to be one of the other mercenary team members with malicious intentions.

"Did you save me just now, senior?" For some reason, Zhang Di felt the aura and majesty of a powerful person when facing the young man who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. This faint sense of pressure made him feel somewhat restrained, and he even spoke somewhat awkwardly.

"Yes, it's me. You even cost me a healing pill." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded. "Where did you come from? Why are you so badly injured? If you hadn't met me, you might have died in the desert."

Hearing that the other party had even used a healing pill, Zhang Di felt a surge of gratitude. However, he was also puzzled as to why the other party had saved him. But the current situation didn't allow him to think about it any longer, so he immediately said urgently, "I am a member of the Mo Tie Mercenary Group of Shi Mo City. Our leaders are Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. This time, the group was conducting a small-team hunting activity, and our team was besieged by the Snake-People nearby. We are now in a life-or-death situation."

"Oh, I see." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, but the leaders of the group are Xiao Ding and Xiao Li. Why do those names sound so familiar?

"Senior, I beg you, could you please go back to Stone Desert City and inform them for me? Our Desert Iron Mercenary Group will reward you handsomely." Seeing the young man in front of him deep in thought, Zhang Di, enduring his severe injuries, gritted his teeth, stood up, and knelt down before Xiao Xuanyuan.

"Oh, right, aren't Xiao Ding and Xiao Li Xiao Yan's two older brothers? And isn't the Mo Tie Mercenary Group the territory they built in this vast Tagor Desert? Hehe, Shimo City, Mo Tie Mercenary Group, no wonder it feels so familiar." After a moment, Xiao Xuanyuan finally remembered.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yan's elder brother, Xiao Ding, shares the same name as his younger brother, Xiao Ding. This is all because the old man, Xiao Yunshan, was too lazy to come up with a name. He didn't care that the former clan leader, Xiao Zhan, already had a son with that name; he just thought it sounded nice and used it directly.
