Simultaneously traversing from Type-Moon

"Sir, even if a deal falls through, we can still be friends. Why are you in such a hurry to sell?"

Du Can waved his hand, and his powerful battle aura directly dispersed the water vapor that was somewhat dazzling around him.

"Do you think I'm easy to bully? 'Ice Emperor' Hai Bodong!"

Du Can directly called out Hai Bodong's name.

Hai Bodong: Holy crap! Box!

Chapter 111 Hai Bodong: Young people lack martial ethics!

When Hai Bodong heard the other party directly reveal his name, he immediately realized that the other party had probably come prepared.

"Since you know my name, I will not pretend anymore. I am Hai Bodong of the Jia Ma Empire.

"Of course, I owe it to others who gave me the title of 'Ice Emperor,' and you may call me that if you wish."

Although the person in front of him looked to be only a teenager, his powerful strength made Hai Bodong not dare to regard him as a junior, but treat him as an equal.

"Mr. Hai, please don't be so serious. I just wanted to buy a map, not start a fight. But you already ambushed me before, and it wouldn't be right if I didn't retaliate, so..."

Upon hearing what the other party said, Hai Bodong immediately became vigilant.

However, even if one is on guard, it is impossible to stop him. After all, his current realm has already made a great leap to the Dou Ling level, but unfortunately, it is a leap downwards, not upwards.

The gap between a Dou Ling and a Dou Huang is completely insurmountable.

He's not Xiao Yan, who can fight a Dou Shi against a Dou Huang, or a Da Dou Shi against a Dou Zong.

Xiao Yan possesses the Heaven-Rank Battle Technique "Ghost Possession" and can even use a different kind of fire as a nuclear bomb.

What does he have? Does he possess Heavenly Rank combat skills that leave him feeling refreshed and invigorated?

Unfortunately, he can't enjoy it now.

So, no matter how vigilant he was, Du Can still appeared in front of him in an instant, right under his nose, and punched him hard in the face.

boom!

Hai Bodong was knocked to the ground with a thud, creating a huge crater.

"Alright, now we're even."

Du Can clapped his hands.

Hai Bodong staggered to his feet, one side of his face swollen high.

It's really not very ethical to treat a senior like this, but in the world of Battle Through the Heavens, morality is useless; it's more effective to rely on the hardness of one's fists.

For example, after that punch, Hai Bodong suddenly understood.

"If you wish to obtain that incomplete map, I can deliver it to you directly."

Hai Bodong was very generous and planned to give away the incomplete map for free.

There was nothing he could do; circumstances were beyond his control. Although his personality was as stubborn and headstrong as an ox, he wasn't so desperate as to intentionally seek death.

With his current strength, he definitely can't win in a fight; he can only cut off his tail to survive.

Damn it! Where did this freak come from? I should have known better than to fight him... No! If I had known, I shouldn't have displayed that incomplete map outside.

I only wanted to attract a few fish, but I didn't expect to attract a Kun (a mythical fish).

“Mr. Hai, I’m here to do business with you in good faith. I won’t let you suffer any losses. Besides, the map you gave me doesn’t seem to be complete. I’m sure it’s missing a part.”

After hearing the other party's confident words, Hai Bodong knew that he could no longer use pretending not to know to deceive them.

After all, the other party already knew his name and the details of the drawing; they might actually know even more, so there was no way to deceive him.

“I do have the remaining parts of this map, which I have hidden away. If you are truly willing to trade, I can indeed sell them to you.”

“However, I don’t need gold coins; they’re useless to both of us. I need you to hire an alchemist to refine a pill for me.”

"The Calamity-Breaking Pill is a sixth-grade elixir. Its refining requires the aid of a different kind of fire. I wonder if you could find an alchemist with such a fire to help me refine this pill?"

"As soon as I obtain this pill, I will immediately offer up the remaining parts of the incomplete map."

The Breaking Calamity Pill is a elixir that can help Hai Bodong break the seal placed on him by Queen Medusa.

As long as he obtains this pill, he can immediately restore his Douhuang cultivation level after consuming it.

He had been collecting various medicinal materials needed for this elixir, as well as searching for an alchemist who possessed a unique flame.

Unfortunately, he has not yet met either of his conditions.

Medicinal herbs are relatively easy to collect, but alchemists who possess extraordinary fire are truly rare in the world.

After all, there are only twenty-three kinds of different flames in the world, and even if the lower-ranked ones can be repeated, they are still extremely rare.

Although Hai Bodong happened to know about a strange fire, which might help an alchemist find it, subduing a strange fire is extremely difficult; one wrong move and you could be burned to ashes.

Moreover, the Breakthrough Pill is a sixth-grade pill, which theoretically can only be refined by a sixth-grade alchemist. And the number of sixth-grade alchemists in this far northwest corner of the continent is even less than the number of Dou Zong.

Although a fifth-grade alchemist has an extremely low probability of successfully refining a sixth-grade pill, the chances are so low that one wrong move could ruin all the medicinal materials.

The medicinal materials required for this sixth-grade pill are not easy to find. Hai Bodong has been searching for them for several years and still hasn't collected them all, which speaks volumes.

Only by successfully subduing the strange fire and becoming a sixth-grade alchemist can one help him refine the Calamity-Breaking Pill.

That's bullshit!

Hai Bodong knew the odds were too slim; the difficulty was too great, and the hope was too distant.

Unless a stroke of luck falls from the sky and a skilled alchemist with a unique flame appears before him, he will likely never recover in this lifetime.

Hai Bodong had initially felt somewhat hopeless.

However, Du Can's appearance gave him a new idea.

He didn't know where Du Can came from or what his background was. He felt that Du Can might be from the mysterious Central Plains, or perhaps a descendant of some super power.

That makes things easier. With such a powerful background, they're sure to be able to find an alchemist who possesses a different kind of fire.

He could use the incomplete map in his hand as a trading item to ask the other party to have an alchemist with a different kind of fire refine a pill for him.

If the other party refuses and tries to forcibly seize it, he will absolutely not let them have their way, and he will rather die than let them obtain the rest of the map.

"Sure. If Mr. Hai had said that earlier, wouldn't it have been fine? He ended up getting another beating."

Du Can accepted the deal.

Although he doesn't know any different fire alchemists at all, and he himself isn't a different fire alchemist yet, he should be in a couple of days.

"..."

Hai Bodong covered his swollen cheek and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

After all, who could imagine that a seemingly young kid is actually a Dou Huang-level powerhouse?

Instead of believing this, believe that "feeling refreshed" is truly a top-tier fighting skill.

"By the way, Mr. Hai, I've heard that the Tagor Desert may contain a strange fire. You've lived here for a long time, do you have any specific information?"

"...I do have some information, but I'd like to ask, what do you want to do with the information about the Strange Fire?"

"Naturally, I want to subdue the strange fire and become an alchemist who possesses a strange fire."

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong's eyes widened, a startling light flashing within them.

Taming a Different Flame! An Alchemist Who Possesses a Different Flame!

These two sentences were playing repeatedly in his ears.

He was thinking: Could it be that a pie really is falling from the sky?

Chapter 112 Information on the Strange Flame: Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame

"Are you an alchemist?"

"Ah, I do indeed possess the legacy of an alchemist, but my alchemy skills are not yet very proficient..."

This is not a lie; Du Can does indeed possess the legacy of an alchemist.

It was something he had taken from some caves during his previous series of cliff jumps. It wasn't of very high quality; it was just the legacy of a fifth-grade alchemist.

It has to be said that the Dou Qi Continent is full of the cave dwellings of senior masters.

Why do all those wise and experienced people like to live in caves?

"What's your rank? What grade of alchemist are you?"

"...It barely reaches the fifth rank, but I haven't shown it to the Alchemist Guild, so it doesn't actually have a rank."

In reality, Du Can has only reached the level of a fifth-grade alchemist in terms of theoretical knowledge and experience; his actual practical skills are currently zero, which is why it is said that he has barely reached the fifth grade.

His statement also seemed somewhat like a way of deceiving Hai Bodong.

But it doesn't matter, he has the ability to get on the train first and buy the ticket later.

Du Can simply waved his hand, and a lively flame appeared in his palm.

Upon seeing the flame, Hai Bodong was immediately overjoyed.

He could sense that the flame contained a trace of wood energy, which was exactly the fire attribute needed by alchemists.

Moreover, this flame has already reached the level of a tangible and substantial flame, which means that the other party's control over the flame has reached at least the level of a fourth-grade alchemist.

Well, that makes sense. After all, he's already at the Douhuang realm. If he can't even refine a fourth-grade pill at the alchemist level, he'll really make a fool of himself.

After all, fourth-grade pills correspond to the Dou Ling realm, and even a Great Dou Shi-level alchemist has the confidence to refine them, let alone a Dou Huang-level alchemist.

Hai Bodong was completely unaware that while Du Can had reached the Douhuang realm, his practical alchemy skills were not even at the first rank; he was just talking big.

"This is wonderful! If it were you, you might actually be able to find that strange fire, tame it, and absorb it."

Hai Bodong could not hide his excitement at this moment.

Even if the other party doesn't find a sixth-grade alchemist with a different kind of fire, based on the aptitude they've shown so far, they will definitely become a sixth-grade alchemist with a different kind of fire in the future.

How could this not excite him?

This was the hope that lay before him! It was far more awe-inspiring than any unknown deal!

Hai Bodong quickly retrieved a map from his realm and handed it to Du Can.
