The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

"Then you don't need to lock me up. You can let me enjoy it live. I can't appreciate it!" Old Medicine curled his lip, seemingly very disdainful.

"Yes, they are my personal belongings, and everything belongs to me." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded with unusual seriousness, showing no sign of joking.

"Hey, I know you're into this kind of thing, and I don't really have anything to say about it. But it's all in the past now, so you'd better get your mind back on track and work hard at your cultivation."

Seeing the seriousness on Xiao Xuanyuan's face, Elder Yao knew him well and knew he wasn't joking. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked him for several low-level Earth-rank cultivation techniques before parting. They were probably used to please his women.

"But you little rascal, you're really too much of a troublemaker, calling me Old Monster White. Such a strange name, I really can't take it..." Suddenly, the old man remembered Xiao Xuanyuan's pranks and started to settle scores with him.

"I just said it offhand. Anyway, it's not you, so don't overthink it..." At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't really want to talk. After parting, his mind was a little heavy, and he didn't want to speak much.

Now, he could say he had done right by the girls, after all, he had given each of them a low-level Earth-rank cultivation technique suitable for cultivation. Moreover, Xiao Xuanyuan was especially fond of Ya Han, since her starting point and foundation were low, so he gave her more pills and also gave each of her two younger brothers a high-level Profound-rank cultivation technique...

As his mind slowly drifted back to the entanglements and tender moments he had shared with the three women these past few days, a smile crept onto Xiao Xuanyuan's lips. Recalling the reluctant expressions on their faces, he unconsciously looked up at the rising sun in the distance, feeling the warm and gentle sunlight of the early morning. Xiao Xuanyuan's heart gradually opened up.

Where there is gathering, there is scattering; where there is yin, there is yang. The world is a cycle of cause and effect, and everything is entangled in cause and effect. When there is a connection, people gather; when the connection ends, they separate. Everything is left to fate.

Chapter 81 Arrival in Mo City

Mocheng is located in the far east of the Gama Empire, and also in the far southeast of the Tagor Desert.

Starting from Blackrock City, the two places are at least several thousand miles apart. In order to save time, Xiao Xuanyuan only allowed the Wind Spirit Bird to rest for an hour occasionally these past few days, and then continued to travel day and night. Xiao Xuanyuan himself stayed on the Wind Spirit Bird's back the whole time, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, cultivating his battle qi.

Finally, after three and a half days, he spotted a rather large loess city on the edge of a vast, golden desert. He checked the map and confirmed it was indeed Mo City!

When they were a few hundred meters away from Mo City, Xiao Xuanyuan patted the long neck of the Wind Spirit Bird and said, "Xiaoxiao, go down!"

Upon hearing this, the Wind Spirit Bird obediently and slowly descended from the sky, and Xiao Xuanyuan jumped off its back and landed on solid ground.

Because this is a desert region, the weather is much drier and hotter than in Blackrock City. The scorching sun shines down from the sky, baking the ground beneath their feet and causing it to emit a sweltering heat. The heat slowly rises, even causing Xiao Xuanyuan's vision to become slightly distorted and blurred.

"Mmm, so refreshing!" For some reason, even though the weather was so hot, Xiao Xuanyuan felt a surge of comfort from his internal fighting spirit.

"This must be because I cultivate a different kind of fire?" He stretched out his hand, and a ball of lightning crackled and leaped on his palm—it was the Lightning Dragon Flame! As the flame appeared, the dancing lightning arcs seemed to be more lively than in other places.

After understanding it slightly, Xiao Xuanyuan clenched his fist and extinguished the lightning dragon flames.

Seemingly unable to withstand the scorching heat emanating from the earth, the Wind Spirit Bird took flight after setting Xiao Xuanyuan down, circling low in the air and chirping crisply.

Looking up at the Wind Spirit Bird above his head, Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at a nearby mountain range, then pointed to it and said, "Xiaoxiao, stay in the nearby mountains for a while. Come out when I come to find you."

Chirp chirp... The Wind Spirit Bird understood Xiao Xuanyuan's words. It turned around, spread its wings, and quickly flew away from the sky.

After watching the Wind Spirit Bird fly away, Xiao Xuanyuan turned his gaze back to the yellow earth city not far away.

"Let's go to the city first and buy a precise and detailed map of the area around the Tagor Desert." The old man, Yao, had somehow awakened from his slumber and transmitted this message to him telepathically.

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, and then gradually approached the city.

"Old Yao, you really are something. You've been asleep for two whole days, and you haven't responded no matter how I call you." Xiao Xuanyuan started chatting with Old Yao about everyday things again.

"Hey, you guys have bodies so you can cultivate battle qi, but I don't have a body, though I have a soul. I need to cultivate that too, okay? Otherwise, where does the soul power I consume after each alchemy session come from?" Old Medicine rolled his eyes and said.

"Oh, that's true."

As they approached the city, the number of pedestrians around them increased. However, Xiao Xuanyuan noticed a pattern: most of the men were shirtless, their exposed skin a dark tan, which looked quite refreshing. The women, while also slightly dark-skinned, had a more sensual bronze hue.

The women here weren't as demure as those in Blackrock City; they wore only tight leather outfits that barely covered their breasts and lower bodies. Their slender waists, however, were boldly exposed.

Her long, slender legs were only covered by short skirts or shorts, and as she walked, her serpentine waist swayed, exuding a unique charm and allure.

Along the way, Xiao Xuanyuan had a feast for the eyes, but he didn't really care to look at them much, only glancing at them briefly without much interest. After all, he had too many wives now, including three or four with whom he had already consummated his marriage: Ya Han, Xue Mei, Lin Fei, and of course, Yun Yun as well.

Yun Yun had already lost her virginity in the Monster Mountain Range; she was his woman. Xiao Xuanyuan vowed that once he had the strength, he would take her from the Yunlan Sect, even if it meant forcing her. How could his woman marry Gu He or any other man? Anyone who dared to lay a finger on Yun Yun would be killed by Xiao Xuanyuan! Only their deaths could quell his hatred.

As we approached the city gate, we looked up and saw two large, pale red characters above it, seemingly drawn with blood, giving it a rather ferocious and bloody feel.

"Mo Cheng, hmm, not bad!" Xiao Xuanyuan nodded secretly. He enjoyed killing, the feeling of having his enemy firmly in his grasp and then mercilessly killing them, the splattering blood giving him a great sense of satisfaction. Only killing could give him release.

At the city gate of Mo City, there were more than a dozen soldiers holding long spears. Perhaps because of the hot weather, they seemed particularly irritable, shouting at the pedestrians entering the city and demanding the city tax.

Because of the long flight over the past few days, there had been little time to land and rest, so Xiao Xuanyuan hadn't changed out of his alchemist robes. Therefore, he planned to go into the city first to find a place to stay, wash up, and get rid of the faint smell of sweat on his body.

As Xiao Xuanyuan slowly walked through the city gate, just as he was about to take out some money to pay the entrance fee, several soldiers who saw him hurriedly bowed and scraped, respectfully saying, "Greetings, sir."

"Hmm. Here, this is the fee for entering the city. Is it enough?" He casually took out a few gold coins from his storage ring and handed them to one of the soldiers.

However, something slightly surprised Xiao Xuanyuan. One of the soldiers, who seemed quite clever, hurriedly stepped forward, bowing and scraping obsequiously, and said with a smile, "Sir, no need, no need!"

"Uh, what's wrong?" Seeing that they seemed hesitant to accept it, Xiao Xuanyuan looked at him with some confusion.

“Sir, you are a third-grade alchemist. The empire has a rule that alchemists do not need to pay any entry fees to the city,” a soldier beside him immediately answered with a fawning smile.

"Oh, I see." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly, but then he changed his tone and said, "Since I've already taken them out, I don't intend to take them back. Take them; consider them a small gift I'm offering to the Empire." Without waiting for a reply, Xiao Xuanyuan stepped forward and handed the gold coins to one of the soldiers.

"My lord..." the soldiers said with a look of fear.

"Take it if you want it, but don't make me angry!" Xiao Xuanyuan glared angrily, which immediately frightened the soldiers into taking a step back.

"But we don't need that many..."

"Be a little more polite when collecting city fees, don't get so worked up. You guys can use the extra money to buy some wine." After saying that, Xiao Xuanyuan ignored the soldiers and walked straight past them into the dark city gate.

"Yes, yes, yes... Thank you, sir!"

Chapter 82 The Old Man and the Disabled

Hearing the profuse thanks from the soldiers behind him, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but shake his head. No one has it easy. Being a soldier is tough, making a living in the city is tough, and his own life is even tougher.

To reach that unattainable path to becoming a powerful figure, he was like a spinning top, with no time to stop. He had to fight desperately when necessary, sometimes even risking his life, always ready to lose it.

This life of constant tension gave him immense excitement and resilience, and also allowed his strength to grow day by day, enabling him to gradually rise to the ranks of high-level powerhouses and become one of them.

"Buy a map? No rush. It's almost sunset, and I've been so bored these past few days. Let's find a place to stay for the night first, and we can talk about this tomorrow morning." After looking at the setting sun, Xiao Xuanyuan pondered for a moment and then began looking for a luxury hotel nearby.

He'd been cooped up on the Wind Spirit Bird's back for days, and now that he'd arrived in Desert City, how could he not enjoy himself? After all, he'd amassed considerable wealth in the Utan City Mittel Auction House and in the cliffside caves of the Monster Mountain Range, and these mundane pleasures were nothing compared to his vast fortune.

Soon, Xiao Xuanyuan found a rather luxuriously decorated hotel nearby. After completing some formalities, he checked in. Because of his status as a third-grade alchemist, things were very convenient, saving him a lot of money. However, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't care much about these small expenses. He figured it was better to avoid them if possible.

That night, Xiao Xuanyuan strolled around the city and experienced the local customs and culture of the desert region. His slightly depressed mood of the past few days was swept away, and his mood became much more cheerful.

After a good night's sleep, Xiao Xuanyuan woke up in the morning feeling refreshed and radiant.

After freshening up a bit, Xiao Xuanyuan asked the hotel receptionist for directions to nearby shops.

Based on his memories from his previous life, Xiao Xuanyuan seemed to recall that in a map shop in Mo City, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong of the Jia Ma Empire was in charge...

Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Xuanyuan stepped out and headed towards the shops indicated on the map provided by the hotel receptionist.

……

Xiao Xuanyuan still remembered that the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong should be an old man now, and the shop's name should be "Gu Tu" (Ancient Map). Yes, it should be Gu Tu. So, he would follow this clue and see which map shop matched this characteristic.

Following the directions, after passing two streets in about ten minutes, Xiao Xuanyuan saw the signboard with the words "Gu Tu" written in a vigorous and powerful style.

Unlike other shops that were luxurious and ostentatious, this shop exuded a rather rustic atmosphere. Upon seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan was almost certain that this was likely the secluded Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the ten strongest figures in the Jia Ma Empire.

Xiao Xuanyuan entered the shop with some doubts in his heart. The shop was not very spacious, but the faint light emitted by two luminous pearls made the shop quite bright. Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes quickly scanned the shop and finally settled on the counter.

Indeed, it was an elderly man. Both of these characteristics matched his memory of what he had guessed, and Xiao Xuanyuan decisively entered the shop.

There weren't many customers in the shop, only a few here and there. That saved us the trouble of crowding around and looking for people.

After casually glancing at the old man a few times, Xiao Xuanyuan noticed that he seemed to be holding a magnifying glass and studying a tattered map in his hand. Curious, he went over to take a look and see what the old man was studying.

The old man looked quite old, with a full head of white hair and beard, and there was a horrifying scar on his aged face, from the left cheek to the corner of his eye.

After getting a clearer look at the old man's face, Xiao Xuanyuan's pupils contracted slightly. It seemed that this old man had been a ruthless person in the past, otherwise why would he have a scar on his cheek? He could only guess that it was left from a fight in the past.

However, what surprised Xiao Xuanyuan the most was not the old man's appearance, but the rather ancient and tattered picture in his palm.

"This...this seems similar to the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map that Little Fairy Doctor and I obtained when we were exploring the cave in the Monster Mountain Range?" Xiao Xuanyuan was puzzled, but he did not rashly snatch the fragment from the old man's hand. He seemed to be comparing the fragment with a detailed map of the Gama Empire, trying to find the similarities between the two.

"Elder Yao, Elder Yao, come out and take a look..." A soul transmission with a specific rhythmic fluctuation entered the ring. A moment later, it awakened the sleeping Elder Yao, who asked in confusion, "Look at what?"

A powerful spiritual perception was quietly released, and the next moment, it scanned the tattered picture on the old man's table. The old man exclaimed in surprise, "Huh, this looks like it?"

A moment later, the old man of medicine realized what was happening. He immediately sent a telepathic message to Xiao Xuanyuan, his voice slightly excited, "That's right, that's a fragment of the map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame. Xiao boy, spend some money and buy it quickly."

"Yes, I understand." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly. He stared intently at the old man on the counter, who was still studying the tattered pictures with great interest.

After repeated confirmations, Xiao Xuanyuan was certain that the old man in front of him was none other than Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor, one of the ten strongest Dou Huangs of the Jia Ma Empire, who had been pursued by Queen Medusa and whose Dou Qi cultivation had been sealed!

After a careful examination, he still couldn't find a clue. The old man slowly exhaled, a hint of disappointment showing on his aged face. However, he was not discouraged. He put down the magnifying glass and the tattered picture, then raised his face and looked at Xiao Xuanyuan, who had been watching him.

"What do you want?" The old man regained his composure and asked calmly.

"Excuse me, could you show me this fragment of the map?" Xiao Xuanyuan pointed to the tattered map on the counter that the old man had just studied. He wanted to confirm it himself to avoid any mistakes later.

Upon hearing this, a slight ripple appeared in the old man's deep, calm eyes, but his expression remained unchanged. He picked up the tattered picture and handed it to Xiao Xuanyuan.

Chapter 83 Collision

After taking the tattered map, Xiao Xuanyuan examined it carefully, scanning the familiar mysterious route on it. At this moment, he was truly certain that this was indeed another map fragment of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

After tossing it in his hand, Xiao Xuanyuan said, "Boss, I'll take this fragment of the map. Name your price."

"This..." Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed across the old man's eyes. However, his gaze swept over the mark on Xiao Xuanyuan's left chest, and surprise appeared on his face. So young, yet he was a third-grade alchemist!

In recent years, the records of the Gama Empire seem to indicate that such a young and talented alchemist has never been seen before. Could he be a recent figure? I've never heard of him before.

"Have you seen map fragments like this before?" Hai Bodong, who seemed to have seen quite a lot, showed only a slight change in expression before regaining his composure and asking with suspicion.

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly and said, "I have seen it before. Here, let me show you." As he spoke, he took out a fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map from the treasure-hunting cave in the Demon Beast Mountain Range from his storage ring and waved it in front of the old man.

"Uh, let me see!" Hai Bodong said, reaching out to snatch it.

Even though the "Purifying Lotus Demon Flame" is not an ordinary object, this strange flame, ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking, might tempt the old man before him. However, he is currently protected by Elder Yao, so even if the other party is indeed that former Dou Huang powerhouse, he is not afraid at all.

Hesitation and timidity are not in Xiao Xuanyuan's character.
