People in Doupo: Unparalleled Talents Actually Bring a System

One day later, in the eastern border of the Gama Empire, at the edge of the Tagor Desert, in the desert city.

A slender creature rushed through the sky, and the surrounding clouds were cut into a blue channel, which made it particularly eye-catching.

With the help of Likongzuo's speed that surpassed that of ordinary Dou Zong masters, it only took about a day for Shimo City to appear in their sight.

Xiao Ling said to Zi Yan who was standing beside him, "Let's go together. Don't attract too much attention. Don't steal the herbs from other people's treasure houses, or else you'll get yourself into trouble. If people say that I'm a sixth-rank alchemist and I stole herbs, that won't sound good."

Zi Yan scratched her head and said with a guilty conscience: "I know, I know. Don't worry, I won't do such a thing."

Xiao Ling, who was standing by, saw Zi Yan's expression and shook his head helplessly. It was obvious that this girl had just been thinking this.

After patting Rayquaza's back, Rayquaza's body, which was in tune with Xiao Ling's mind, gradually began to shrink, and then it wrapped around Xiao Ling's wrist and got into his sleeve.

After stuffing a fourth-grade pill into his sleeve, Liekongzuo swallowed it in one gulp. He licked Xiao Ling's fingers, then retracted his head and fell asleep.

Patting the little guy on the head, Xiao Ling said with a smile: "You must have been exhausted from traveling at full speed all day. Have a good rest."

After the two men fell from Rayquaza, they spread their fighting spirit wings and flew towards the city gate.

When they were still a few hundred meters away from the city, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan's flying speed gradually slowed down. Their bodies trembled slightly, and the fighting wings behind them turned into energy points and slowly dissipated in the air.

Perhaps due to its proximity to the desert, the weather here is quite dry and hot. The scorching sun shines down from the sky, baking the ground beneath our feet so that it constantly emits suffocating heat. The heat slowly rises up, and it actually makes people's vision appear somewhat distorted and blurred.

After checking the situation in his body, he found that the activity of the fire attribute had a certain effect. The soul perception in the center of his eyebrows radiated, and he noticed that the air here was filled with a large amount of fire and earth attribute energy. If he practiced these two attributes here, the efficiency would be improved, but compared with the Tianfen Qi Training Tower in the inner courtyard, it was not worth mentioning.

As we gradually approached the city, there were more and more passers-by around us. Most of the men were shirtless, with dark and slender skin. At first glance, they seemed to be quite generous. The occasional woman passing by had a slightly dark skin, but it was a sexy bronze color. The women here were not as reserved and shy as the women in the empire. A tight leather jacket just covered the chest and a little bit of the area below, while the slender waist was boldly exposed. The long and tight thighs were also covered by some short skirts or shorts. While walking, her waist twisted like a water snake, which had a charming charm and style.

However, Xiao Ling only glanced at these scenes that could be considered stunning beauty to others and then looked away. Now, Xiao Ling's standards had been raised by Han Yue and Xiao Xun'er. These mediocre girls were not even as good as the seniors and juniors of Canaan College. Naturally, Xiao Ling had no interest in them.

Not far from the city gate, Xiao Ling took out the alchemist robe and put on the third-grade alchemist badge he had obtained before. He had originally planned to use the identity of a second-grade alchemist to avoid some trouble. A third-grade alchemist was still a bit conspicuous. After all, Xiao Ling didn't like being stared at by everyone, and he didn't feel a sense of accomplishment in pretending to be cool in front of these fighters and masters. It was a pity that he reached the third grade not long after he started learning, and there were no lower-level badges. This was also a kind of helplessness of a genius.

At the gate of the city, a dozen soldiers in armor, holding long guns, were shouting at passers-by entering the city to pay the city entry tax.

Perhaps because of the hot weather, these soldiers guarding here were also a little irritable by the irritable weather, shouting and cursing unceremoniously, constantly urging the passers-by at the city gate.

Because their temperament and attire were quite different, they were quickly noticed by passers-by and soldiers at the door.

Noticing Xiao Ling's alchemist robe and the third-grade alchemist badge on his chest, the people around him cast envious, admiring, and yearning glances at the two of them.

The pedestrians stopped and made way to both sides.

Xiao Ling didn't say much, and walked straight to the city gate with Zi Yan. When the soldiers guarding the city gate saw the two of them coming, one of them hurriedly stepped forward and bowed. His unfriendly expression just now turned into a flattering one, and he said, "Mr. Alchemist, if you need to enter the city, please come in. You are of noble status, so you don't need to queue."

He nodded slightly, walked towards an empty passage nearby, casually took out a first-grade pill from his ring, threw it to the soldier, and then asked, "Where is the largest map shop in Mo City?"

The soldier was quick to catch the pill. The smell of medicine emanating from it made him intoxicated. He quickly bowed to Xiao Ling and replied respectfully, "There is a map shop called "Gutu" in Mo City. I have a map here with the approximate location written on it. Mr. Alchemist, you may want to take a look at it." He then took out a map from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Ling.

When the surrounding soldiers saw that this man had gained benefits, they all looked at him with envy and jealousy, regretting that they had not gone up to please the alchemist and missed the opportunity.

Without paying any more attention to this person, Xiao Ling took the map, took Zi Yan into the passage, and then slowly disappeared into the darkness of the city wall passage.

Holding the pill tightly in his hand and glancing at the envious eyes around him, the soldier couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, I am smart enough, otherwise I wouldn't be able to get this benefit."

……

Following the map given by the soldier, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan soon arrived at a shop.

Xiao Ling looked around from outside. This shop was not as luxurious and ostentatious as other shops. Instead, it had an ancient atmosphere. It was obvious at a glance that the owner was no ordinary person.

Without thinking about anything else, Xiao Ling walked slowly into the shop with Zi Yan. The interior of the shop was not too spacious. The faint light from the two moonstones made the shop quite bright. He swept his eyes inside the shop. There were not many people inside buying maps. It looked deserted. If Xiao Ling had not read the original book, he would probably wonder if he had come to the wrong place.

After entering the store, Xiao Ling noticed the old man behind the counter. He was wearing a blue robe, with white hair casually draped behind him. There was an icy aura around him, and he was obviously a strong man who practiced ice-attributed fighting spirit.

The old man was obviously quite old, but despite his advanced age, his dry hand holding the black drawing pen was still steady and strong.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Ling couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "Hai Bodong, the angel investor of Douqi Continent, finally found you."

Chapter 53 The remaining picture of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire

He turned his gaze away from Hai Bodong and did not make a sound to interrupt his drawing work. Xiao Ling led Zi Yan towards the shelf where maps were placed in the store.

After searching around casually, he first selected a map of the surrounding towns, and then pulled out a map of the Tagor Desert. After carefully examining it, Xiao Ling couldn't help but sigh, "It's worthy of being a map drawn by a former Douhuang master. It's not at the same level as other maps. Even some areas of the Tagor Desert are marked. I wonder if this old guy deliberately got lost in the desert before."

After picking up the two maps, Xiao Ling released his soul perception and began to explore the remaining maps of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire hidden in the shop.

Relying on the soul perception ability that has reached the spiritual realm, Xiao Ling quickly discovered a hot energy in the corner of the store. It should be the half of the incomplete map that appeared in the store in the original book. He didn't know where the other half of the incomplete map was hidden by Hai Bodong, and he didn't even find it. This former Douhuang powerful man still has some means.

Walking towards the quaint wooden shelf in the corner of the store, Xiao Ling glanced at it. The wooden shelf was obviously very old, with many holes of rotten wood on it. On top of it, some yellowed maps were randomly piled up. Looking at the broken marks on the surface of these maps, it seemed that they were failed products when making the maps.

He casually flipped through these yellowed maps, and a faint musty smell came to his face. He frowned slightly and threw some failed maps aside. A tattered picture only the size of a palm appeared in front of Xiao Ling.

Seeing this, Xiao Ling was delighted. The incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, which ranked third on the Strange Fire List and was a necessary item for taming the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, was actually found in this remote Jia Ma Empire. He grabbed it in his hand and put it into his ring without hesitation. Xiao Ling said, "Old sir, this incomplete map should only be half. I will buy the other half. Name your price."

This sound reached Hai Bodong behind the counter, and he paused slightly in his map-drawing movements. The route he was carefully drawing also showed a slight deviation, and it was obvious that he could not continue drawing. But Hai Bodong didn't care about it at all, and said in a cold tone: "Have you seen such a fragment of a map before?"

Zi Yan, who was standing by, was immediately displeased when she heard the old man's arrogant attitude. She waved her fist and said angrily, "You stinky old man, can't you hear me when I ask you a question?"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong's face turned ugly in an instant. I, Hai Bodong, one of the top ten strongest men in the Gama Empire, the famous Ice Emperor, was actually scolded by a little girl. If others find out about this, will I, Hai Bodong, still have any face?

He released a burst of icy fighting spirit from his body, causing the temperature in the map shop to drop by more than ten degrees in an instant. He looked at Xiao Ling and Zi Yan with a dim gaze, and said in a bad tone: "Little girl, didn't your elders tell you that if you mess with someone you shouldn't mess with outside, you will lose your life?"

Those who came in to choose maps, seeing this tense scene, did not dare to stay here any longer and left the store one after another.

Just when Zi Yan was about to step forward to take action, Xiao Ling on the side touched her head, pulled her behind him, and then said to Hai Bodong: "Old sir, we are just planning to buy a map. I am a sixth-grade alchemist, and perhaps I can help you remove the seal on your body." He immediately took out the sixth-grade alchemist badge from the ring, put it on his chest, stretched out his right hand, and a golden flame leaped up, emitting a heat that distorted the space, causing the temperature, which had just dropped due to Hai Bodong's release of momentum, to instantly rise a lot.

Hai Bodong on the opposite side saw this scene and felt the heart-pounding temperature. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "A sixth-grade alchemist, and a sixth-grade alchemist with strange fire. How is it possible? You are so young. Which force cultivated this monster? The Gama Empire will never cultivate talents like you." He immediately took back the icy fighting spirit he had released into his body. A sixth-grade alchemist with strange fire can just help him refine the Evil-Breaking Pill. Could it be that the opportunity for my Ice Emperor Hai Bodong to recover lies in this person?

Seeing Hai Bodong restrain his aura, Xiao Ling also retracted the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame into his body and replied with a smile: "My name is Xiao Ling, I am an elder of Canaan College in the Black Horn Region, and a member of the Xiao family in Wutan City of the Jiama Empire."

Since Hai Bodong has been living in seclusion at the edge of the desert for many years and has no contact with anyone in the Mitel family, he has never heard of Xiao Ling's name. However, since the other party introduced himself first, Hai Bodong also said, "I didn't expect that the Jia Ma Empire would produce a monster like you. It's because I am ignorant. My name is Mitel Hai Bodong, and I am the supreme elder of the Mitel family. I was once named the "Ice Emperor". Decades ago, I was sealed by the Queen Medusa of the Snake Tribe because of my fighting spirit, so I lived in seclusion at the edge of this remote desert."

Xiao Ling pretended to be very surprised and said in surprise: "It turned out to be Senior "Ice Emperor". I didn't expect that Senior disappeared for so many years because of such a hidden story."

Waving his hand, Hai Bodong replied indifferently: "It's all in the past, there's no need to mention it again." Then he asked with some expectation: "Master Xiao Ling also saw that the map was incomplete. With many years of map-making experience, I divided it into two pieces and hid the other piece. Unless I take it out, no one can get it. This thing was obtained by me in the Tagor Desert many years ago. For this, I had a fight with Queen Medusa and ended up like this. Based on my knowledge, I think this map is incomplete. The origin must be extraordinary. I have not wasted my time in these years. In order to remove the seal on my body, I found a prescription called Po'e Pill, which can break the seal on my body, but it requires the use of strange fire to refine it. In the Jia Ma Empire, even the guest elder Gu He of the Yun Lan Sect has not subdued the strange fire. Master Guan has a strange fire on his body. As long as Master Xiao Ling can refine a Po'e Pill for me, I will offer the other map with both hands. Otherwise, even if you kill me here, I will not reveal any information about the map. "

Xiao Ling knew Hai Bodong's character, so he had no intention of robbing him. Besides, he was a natural worker, so why not? So he smiled and said to Hai Bodong, "Give me the herbs and prescriptions, and I will help you refine a pill to break the evil. The reward is the other half of the map fragment."

Chapter 54: Set out to find the Sand Mandala

When Hai Bodong heard that Xiao Ling agreed to the transaction method he proposed, he was a little happy at first, and then as if he suddenly thought of something, his face became a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth to speak, but closed it again, looking embarrassed to speak.

Seeing Hai Bodong's attitude, Xiao Ling guessed that he was embarrassed to say that he was still short of the Sand Mandragora, which made him laugh. So he decided to give him a way out and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Hai has only recently obtained the prescription and has not yet collected all three ingredients?"

Seeing the steps down, Hai Bodong took it, stroked his beard, and said helplessly: "Indeed, I have prepared almost all the herbs on the prescription, except for one called Sand Mandragora, which grows in the Tagor Desert. Unfortunately, my strength has not recovered yet. I practice ice-attributed skills and was sealed by Queen Medusa. If I get close to the depths of the Tagor Desert, she will sense it. I originally planned to use my previous relationship to find a few plants. Now that Master Xiao Ling is here, if you can help find the Sand Mandragora, I can say that I owe you a favor."

Xiao Ling's mouth twitched. The number of Sand Mandragora was controlled by the Serpent People. If he really went to the Tagor Desert to look for it, he would have to be very lucky to find one. So he said, "As far as I know, the Sand Mandragora is firmly controlled by the Serpent People. Could it be that Hai Lao wants me, a mere Dou Wang, to fight against the Dou Huang peak Queen Medusa?"

Hai Bodong felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he still asked: "Master, do you have any good methods? As long as you can refine this Destroying Evil Pill, I will let you choose any medicinal materials after I return to the Mitel Family."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly, and then said, "Don't worry, I am still confident that I can obtain a Sand Mandragora. I will gladly accept the herbs when the time comes. After my people move to the imperial capital, I will not stay in the family often. After I recover my strength, Mr. Hai will have to take care of them for me."

Hearing Xiao Ling's answer, Hai Bodong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that he could get the Po Evil Pill and finally recover to Dou Huang. As for taking care of the Xiao family, even if Xiao Ling didn't ask, Hai Bodong would definitely take care of them. Not to mention that Xiao Ling, a young sixth-grade alchemist, must have a bright future, and it would definitely not be a disadvantage to make friends with him in advance. Besides, after he got the Po Evil Pill, Xiao Ling would be a big help to him. Although Hai Bodong was arrogant by nature, he was very sentimental, and it was only right to take care of Xiao Ling's people.

Nodding with a smile, Hai Bodong said, "Don't worry, when my strength recovers to Douhuang and I return to the imperial capital, I will definitely help you take care of the family. You just need to be at ease and train outside."

Without continuing the topic, Xiao Ling asked Hai Bodong, "I heard that strange fire appeared in the Tagor Desert. Mr. Hai has lived in seclusion here for many years. Have you found any clues about this?"

Hai Bodong was a little confused when he heard Xiao Ling mention the news about the strange fire. After all, Xiao Ling already possessed a strange fire and could not absorb another strange fire at the same time. For this reason, although he had the news about the strange fire, he did not take it out as a bargaining chip. But since others were curious, he might as well tell him.

"I'm very interested in drawing maps. I once traveled around the Tagor Desert and luckily got some information about the strange fire. I did some research on the locations and routes in the information. Although I'm still not sure where the strange fire is, I can roughly know which place has a higher probability of having the strange fire." Hai Dongbo said with a proud smile.

After that, he took out a map from the counter drawer, handed it to Xiao Ling, and said with a smile, "According to my detection, there are three places in the Tagor Desert that are most likely to have strange fire."

Taking the parchment, Xiao Ling spread it out and found that it was an extremely detailed map of the Tagor Desert. This map was completely incomparable to the maps on the counter before. It not only accurately marked the locations of water sources in the desert, but also carefully marked the snake tribes scattered in the desert.

"Did you see the three flame symbols on the map?" Hai Bodong reminded with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling glanced across the map and indeed discovered that there were extremely conspicuous flame symbols in the east, west and north directions on the map.

"These three places are where the probability of the strange fire hiding in the Tagor Desert is the highest." Pointing to the three flame marks, Hai Bodong smiled and said, "Of course, these are just the places I deduced through my detection. The accuracy rate cannot reach 100%, but it is undoubtedly much better than letting you grope around blindly."

Xiao Ling nodded slightly. Although he possessed the strange fire and his soul perception had reached the spiritual realm, the Tagor Desert was so large that it was extremely difficult to find a place where the strange fire existed. Hai Bodong's detailed map would undoubtedly save him a lot of time and energy.

Moreover, Xiao Ling, who had read the original novel, knew very well that as long as he went to the eastern area to search, he would probably be able to find the blue lotus core fire underground. Medusa had not been there yet, so when the time came, she would directly take away the strange fire and the lotus platform at once.

Xiao Ling put the map into his ring, clasped his fists towards Hai Bodong and said in thanks: "Thank you, Mr. Hai. My partner and I will go look for the Sand Mandala first. After I refine the Evil-Breaking Pill for Mr. Hai, I will go look for this strange fire." After saying this, he took Zi Yan's hand and walked out of the map shop.

Looking at the two people leaving, Hai Bodong stroked his beard and said, "I hope you can return safely. By then, I can also recover my Douhuang cultivation. I, Hai Bodong, don't want to be bound all the time."

……

After walking out of the shop, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan spread their fighting wings and flew towards the depths of the Tagor Desert.

When the passers-by around saw this scene, they all gasped. They didn't expect that there were two Dou Wang powerful men in Mo City.

After reaching the air, Xiao Ling woke up Rayquaza, which had not slept for long, and carried Zi Yan onto its back.

Looking at the map in his hand and touching Zi Yan's smooth purple hair, Xiao Ling said with a smile: "Whether we can get the Sand Mandala by then will depend on your contribution."

Chapter 55 Heading to the Snake Tribe

Zi Yan, who was standing by, heard this and said in confusion, "What does this have to do with me? I don't even know that Queen Medusa."

Xiao Ling smiled and began to explain to Zi Yan: "First of all, your true form is a magical beast, and Queen Medusa is a snake person, and she also has a magical beast true form. You two will definitely feel more intimate together, and you are so cute, so Queen Medusa will definitely not embarrass you."

Xiao Ling, who has read the original novel, knows that Queen Medusa likes Zi Yan very much, maybe because she is a monster of the same level as her, or because Zi Yan is cute. Anyway, if he takes Zi Yan with him to exchange the Sand Mandala, the chances of success will definitely increase.

After patting Zi Yan's little head, Xiao Ling said again: "As long as you can say a few good words this time, if we can successfully exchange the Sand Mandragora from Queen Medusa, you will definitely get some benefits. It won't be a problem to give you a sixth-grade medicinal herb from the reward given by Hai Bodong."

Hearing that there was actually medicinal herbs to earn, Zi Yan's eyes flashed with a golden light. She raised her little head, patted her chest, and said confidently: "Leave it to me with confidence. I will do my best."

Seeing Zi Yan's funny look, Xiao Ling couldn't help but smile, and patted the back of Rayquaza under him. It let out a long roar towards the sky, then increased its speed and flew towards the depths of the desert.

……

Above the clear sky, a huge scorching sun hangs high in the sky, like a big fireball that is constantly releasing flames. The blazing sunshine is swayed in the golden desert, turning the tiny sand grains. Smoked and roasted like small red-hot iron particles.

In the desert, due to the blazing temperature, wisps of hot air seeped out from the yellow sand, eventually evaporating the space into something distorted and illusory.

At first glance, this boundless desert seems to stretch into the distance without an end. As far as the eye can see, there is no one, only the raging wind blowing, stirring up the dust all over the sky. They are like angry beasts, roaring and rolling, forming huge waves of sand, constantly impacting everything around. These sand grains collide and rub against each other, making a rustling sound, like a tragic and desolate symphony, echoing between this desolate world.

Suddenly, a black figure rushed across the sky above the desert, tearing a gap in the clouds, which looked particularly spectacular.

The cause of such power was a slender black monster. On its back, Xiao Ling and Zi Yan had both stood up and were looking towards an oasis that appeared in their sight.

Xiao Ling withdrew his gaze from the distance and looked down at the map in his hand that he had taken from Hai Bodong's shop.

The finger moved along the route and finally slowly stopped on a red dot representing danger. There were eight such red dots in the entire map, distributed in several different directions of the desert.

Among the snake people in the Tagor Desert, in addition to some small and medium-sized tribes, there are eight huge guys, which are the eight red dots on the map. They are the most powerful tribe among the snake people and have a very high status in the desert. Except for Queen Medusa, they even don't trust each other.

Eight huge monsters dominated several directions of the Tagor Desert, and deep in the desert, a main road drawn on the map was blocked by the red dot pointed by Xiao Ling.
