Upon seeing that it was a familiar person, he immediately said happily, "How come you've returned so quickly? Is there something you don't know that you need me to tell you?"
"As for these two, they came to my shop to do odd jobs on their own initiative, they weren't hired by me."
The woman in red was furious when she heard this brat dare to loudly disturb Master Bing, and was about to make a move.
Then she heard what Master Ice said.
Huh? Is it really someone we know?
It would be difficult if it involved acquaintances, but she had to find a way to get rid of these irrelevant people.
Her father said that the owner of the map shop was a hidden master, and asked her to work odd jobs in the shop in the hope of gaining the owner's favor.
It would be even better if I could become his disciple.
The woman in red agreed wholeheartedly, showed concern for Master Bing, and decided to drive away all potential competitors.
Then, she saw Du Can and felt that he was a threat, so she was determined to get rid of him.
The woman in red hardened her resolve and decided to use some special methods to drive the other party away.
At this moment, Du Can said, "If it's not a shop assistant, then I'll fight back."
Du Can glanced at the woman in red, his eyes gleaming with a dark light.
Suddenly, the woman in red felt as if the world had collapsed. The earth shattered, the sky shattered, everything shattered, and the world before her eyes turned into complete darkness.
In the pitch-black world, countless black shadows appeared before her, attacking and tearing at her, each time with immense and profound pain.
She could neither escape nor resist; she could only watch helplessly as these black shadows tore her to pieces.
The immense pain caused her to have a complete mental breakdown.
"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"
In the mental realm, the woman in red was torn to pieces by the black shadow, her mind collapsing instantly. In the external world, she also suffered a simultaneous mental breakdown and fell unconscious.
"How dare you harm the young lady! Die!"
When the burly man saw that the woman in red had fainted, he was furious and raised his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, to smash it into Du Can's face.
The next second, he met Du Can's eyes.
Then, he also fainted while screaming incoherently.
"Brother, they're not dead, are they?"
Qinglin asked this question.
"Don't worry, it's just a minor punishment to serve as a warning, leaving them with a shadow that they'll never be able to shake off. We won't let them die."
Du Can wouldn't kill someone just because they insulted him, but he would still retaliate.
To be honest, the aura of a Douhuang-level being is enough to overwhelm many people. When he went to the Snake-Man Tribe to make a trade, he only used Dou Qi Wings and did not display his aura.
The main issue was that we were there for a transaction, so doing this would have been a bit impolite.
Du Can isn't the kind of person who would force someone to kneel on the ground and make them kneel to make a deal with him.
This could lead to the other party misjudging my strength, which is why this whole mess happened.
Dou Ling actually dared to come and hunt down Dou Huang.
Next time, when communicating with a stranger, if the other party dares to provoke him, he will directly use his Douhuang aura to press the other party to the ground, and the other party should be able to sober up a lot.
"Mr. Hai, is what I'm doing alright?"
Du Can still asked Hai Bodong for his opinion, just in case he seemed indifferent on the surface but actually cared deep down.
"It's alright, it's alright, you can handle it however you like."
Hai Bodong didn't care. He could tell at a glance that this woman was being overly attentive and wanted something, so he didn't bother with her.
Even if Du Can had just confused the other party, or even killed them outright, he wouldn't care.
"Does Your Excellency still have some questions upon your return? Is it that you are unsure of the exact location on the map? Or perhaps you are unsure of the specific origin of those medicinal herbs?"
"No, I've already found and absorbed the strange fire, and I've also collected those medicinal herbs. Now I'm here to report back to you."
Du Can took out the medicinal herbs from his storage ring and handed them to Hai Bodong.
Hai Bodong took the medicinal herbs, somewhat at a loss.
"Wait a minute! Less than a day has passed, how did you finish so quickly?"
"Oh, I just found a suitable trading partner and bought them directly from him. I didn't collect them one by one, so the speed was naturally faster."
After hearing Du Can's explanation, Hai Bodong felt that it made some sense.
Although these medicinal herbs are very precious, if a suitable trading partner can be found, it is indeed possible to collect them all at once.
But! What about different flames? Can those things also be obtained quickly?
Hai Bodong had heard that the energy of the strange fire was extremely violent, and it would take countless hours to refine and absorb it.
The other party has wasted time with this back-and-forth, and with the remaining time, it will be difficult to even find the trace of that strange fire, let alone refine it.
Are they playing a trick on him?
Chapter 129 The Elixir of Overcoming Calamity: Preparing to Refine the Elixir
Du Can extended his right palm, and instantly a bright green flame gathered.
The flames were so peculiar.
The moment it appeared, the fire elements between heaven and earth instantly quieted down, as if they were sentient, all sinking to the bottom, as if in worship.
The extraordinary fire is the supreme among fires.
Once the extraordinary fire is unleashed, all other fires submit to it.
When Hai Bodong saw the emerald green flame gathering in his palm, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and he couldn't help but take two steps away.
Although the fighting spirit within his body was not fire-attribute, he could not sense this special will of submission.
However, the battle qi within his body is of the ice attribute, which in some worlds would be a direct four-fold counter.
Hai Bodong couldn't stand the aura of the strange fire.
"Hiss... It really is the legendary strange fire! You actually subdued it. Impressive! I admire you!"
Hai Bodong couldn't help but gasp, but since he was of the ice element, he could exhale two breaths of cold air after taking one, so it wouldn't cause the climate of the Tagor Desert to warm up again.
He was truly speechless. It was probably within his expectations that the other party could subdue the strange fire, but the fact that the other party subdued the strange fire in such a short time was completely beyond his expectations.
"I have obtained the strange fire, and I have also collected all the materials you need. I can try to refine the Calamity-Breaking Pill for you."
Hai Bodong asked with some doubt: "Aren't you a fifth-grade alchemist? Are you now confident in refining sixth-grade pills?"
It's not that a fifth-grade alchemist can't refine sixth-grade pills; although it's very difficult, it's possible with a bit of luck.
However, the scrap rate of the finished products was too high, and Hai Bodong had a limited supply of medicinal materials, so he dared not let the alchemists squander them.
"The original technique may have been a bit lacking, but after absorbing the strange fire, I refined the technique again, and now it is not difficult to refine sixth-grade pills."
So fast? Last time you came you were said to be a fifth-rank official, and now you're a sixth-rank official?
Is the auxiliary efficiency of a different kind of fire really that strong?
Hai Bodong seemed to be deep in thought, then cautiously asked, "What is your success rate in refining sixth-grade pills now?"
"I wouldn't say 100%, but it's definitely over 70%."
Du Can actually wanted to say 90%, but after thinking about it, he realized he had never refined the Breaking Calamity Pill before and wasn't very familiar with it, so he lowered the success rate a bit.
Even so, it is still quite astonishing.
"hiss……"
Hai Bodong couldn't help but gasp again.
Alchemists can claim to be confident if they have a 30% chance of success. What's the difference between a 70% chance and a 100% chance of success?
"If Mr. Hai trusts me, he can entrust me with refining the Breakthrough Pill."
"……All right."
After much deliberation, Hai Bodong decided to trust Du Can.
After all, who knows when we'll find another sixth-grade alchemist.
As for Furukawa? Who is that? I don't know him.
Hai Bodong took out the other medicinal materials needed to refine the Breakthrough Pill from his storage ring, and also found the pill formula. He solemnly handed them all to Du Can.
On the Dou Qi Continent, pill formulas are not something that can be written casually with a pen; they are imbued with the soul power left behind by the alchemist when creating the formula.
Each recipe must be made with utmost care, imprinting the power of one's soul onto it.
This soul power contains countless pieces of information, representing the various experiences and insights gained by alchemists when refining this kind of elixir.
Temperature, heat, time, medicinal properties, blending, proportions... all are inscribed on the prescription with the power of the soul.
Therefore, each prescription is difficult to make and extremely precious.
This sixth-grade pill formula would definitely fetch a high price if it were auctioned off.
Du Can took the recipe for the Breakthrough Pill, scanned it with his mind, and immediately gained all the knowledge contained within.
He closed his eyes, as if deep in thought, but in reality he was going to the light sphere space to simulate refining the Breakthrough Pill and practice his skills.
A moment later, he opened his eyes again.
"Understood. Mr. Hai, please prepare a spacious room for me. I'm about to refine some pills."
"So fast? Should we take another look?"
Hai Bodong knew that alchemists needed time to research pill formulas, so he wasn't in a hurry. He hoped that Du Can would watch for a while longer so that the chances of success would be higher when refining the pills later.
"It's alright. The prescription has already marked all the key points that need attention. I understand them now. The success rate of refining the medicine should be around 90%."
"hiss……"
Hai Bodong gasped again.
Around 90%—that's probably only something a seventh-grade alchemist could claim when refining a sixth-grade pill.
