"A Dou Huang level expert, how terrifying!"
Incidentally, everyone gasped in surprise.
After showing off for a while, Hai Bodong flew back to Du Can's side.
"Thank you so much, sir. I feel so refreshed, as if I've been reborn."
After breaking the seal, not only did his cultivation level recover, but his previously aged appearance also became younger.
Now he looks like a middle-aged man.
"Mr. Hai, I must thank you for the information you provided, which allowed me to find the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame."
"However, could you please settle the final payment now? You should have given me that incomplete drawing by now, right?"
The sole purpose of Du Can undertaking this long and complex series of quests was to obtain the remaining half of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame fragment from Hai Bodong.
He desperately needs this.
“Hmm…” Hai Bodong hesitated for a moment.
"Mr. Hai, you don't mean you don't want to hand it over, do you?"
Du Can narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew that in the original story, Hai Bodong was suspected of defaulting on his debts; if it weren't for the fact that he was wary of Xiao Yan's potential backup plans, he might have actually renege on his debts.
"How could that be? It's just that I don't know exactly where it's hidden right now. Let me look for it."
Hai Bodong left for a while, and when he reappeared, he was holding a mysterious fragment of a map.
He handed the incomplete map to Du Can.
"I have studied this incomplete map for countless years, but I still cannot figure out its mystery. Can you answer my questions?"
Nonsense, it would be a miracle if you could comprehend its mysteries. This map was created by a peerless expert who was about to enter the Dou Di realm.
If it were so easy for a Dou Huang to figure it out, then you, as a Dou Huang, would have the potential to become a ruler.
Ten thousand years ago, there was a top-tier expert on the Dou Qi Continent, known as the Pure Lotus Demon Saint. His strength was immense, and he had already stepped one foot into the Dou Di realm, but unfortunately, he still perished in the end.
Before his death, he subdued the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking. However, the Pure Lotus Demon Flame possessed great intelligence. Although it was subdued, it was not truly convinced. When the Pure Lotus Demon Saint's lifespan was coming to an end, it turned against him, causing him to be severely injured and perish.
Before his death, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint used his soul power to create an ancient map. The map contained information about the Pure Lotus Demon Flame that he had subdued in his lifetime, and also included some methods to help the map's new owner subdue the Pure Lotus Demon Flame.
This ancient map eventually broke into countless pieces, and this is one of them.
Du Can obtained the first fragment of the map from the senior master in the Monster Mountain Range who inherited the Purple Cloud Wings, and now he has obtained the second one.
According to the original text, the third copy must be found in the Black Corner Region, while the fourth copy must be found in the Central Plains.
This is troublesome. Can't we just find a cave and stuff them all in at once?
Xiao Yan was lucky enough to stumble upon the incomplete map along his journey. Anyone else probably would never have found it in their entire life.
Du Can knew the complete information about the incomplete map, but he couldn't possibly tell Hai Bodong everything about it.
After all, some information is of great importance and cannot be shared even with close friends and family, let alone with Hai Bodong, whom they have only met a few times.
"I don't know much about this fragment of the map either. It seems to be related to some kind of strange fire. I want to study it and see if I can find information about that strange fire."
Du Can casually put the incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame back into his storage ring, saying this casually.
Hai Bodong wasn't sure if Du Can was genuinely unaware or pretending, but he didn't really care anymore. After all, it was time to let go of a mystery that he had been researching for so many years without being able to solve.
"Alright, but I have one more question I'd like you to answer. Where did you get that medicine cauldron from?"
"This sixth-grade medicine cauldron? I found it in a cave left behind by a senior master. Does Mr. Hai know any specific information about it?"
A sixth-grade medicine cauldron is already considered an extremely rare item in this continent and within the Gama Empire in the northwest corner.
In the original novel, at the alchemist conference, it was already quite eye-catching when several alchemists took out several fifth-grade medicine cauldrons, and many of the onlookers were terrified.
This sixth-grade medicine cauldron must have some reputation. It's perfectly normal for Hai Bodong to know its original owner.
"So it was left behind? I thought..."
Hai Bodong sighed.
He pointed to the medicine cauldron, which was bluish-white in color and depicted a snow-capped mountain landscape. The snow was white and the rime ice was thick, like a snow-covered fairyland after the arrival of winter.
"This medicine cauldron is called the Cold Mountain Cauldron, and it is owned by a fifth-grade alchemist named Cold King."
"He possesses a unique beast fire, the Cold Dragon Cold Fire. Although he is a fire-attribute alchemist, it exudes an astonishingly cold nature."
"I think he's quite interesting, and I used to associate with him for a while."
"Later, he said he was going to the Monster Mountain Range to find the legendary strange fire, the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire. Then he never returned."
"I thought he was still on his way to find him, but I never expected that he had already perished."
Hai Bodong felt a pang of regret.
It was both a pity for the passing of a good friend he had made back then, and also because a fifth-grade alchemist who was close to the sixth grade was so precious that it was such a pity that he died so quietly.
"I see."
Du Can finally learned the source of the inheritance, and also the purpose of the other party's trip to the Monster Mountain Range.
"Is the Spirit Fire of Ten Thousand Beasts in the Monster Mountain Range?... Hmm, that does seem possible."
The Myriad Beasts Spirit Fire, ranked twenty-second on the list of extraordinary fires, is said to be formed from the condensation of the souls and blood of myriad beasts.
Based on its formation conditions, the Monster Mountain Range could indeed produce it.
Furthermore, based on the conditions for its formation, the Tagor Desert may also form another type of strange fire on the list of strange fires.
The nineteenth ranked is Windfury Dragon Flame.
This strange fire is said to originate in the eye of a giant fire tornado deep in an ancient desert, and the Tagor Desert certainly has the necessary conditions for the formation of such a fire.
Perhaps I can spend some time looking for these two kinds of strange fire in the future.
Du Can nodded, but it would probably be very difficult to search by himself alone. He might have to learn from Xiao Yan and form a force to find the strange fire.
However, he now knows the exact locations of several different flames.
"The Fallen Heart Flame is the most important treasure of Canaan Academy, and obtaining it will be quite difficult. But the Sea Heart Flame..."
Medicine King Han Feng, a famous landmark figure in the Black Corner Region, was also a despicable person who murdered his master for personal gain. If he didn't kill him, he would feel that he would be letting down the Sea Heart Flame that the other party possessed.
"It's decided. The next step is the strange fire on his body. But the Black Corner Region is a bit chaotic, and there are quite a few Dou Zong there. My current strength is still a bit low, so I have to find a way to advance further."
Chapter 132 Serpent Woman Moon Charm Ink Serpent Mobas Medusa Queen
On the other side, deep in the Tagor Desert, next to the large cavity that Du Can had previously blasted out.
The enormous cavity was too obvious to be seen by anyone. Moreover, this place was located within the territory of the snake people. The huge energy fluctuations caused by the previous eruption of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire energy were enough to attract the attention of many powerful snake people with strong perception.
At this moment, two snake-men whose strength had reached the Dou Wang realm were inspecting this massive, destructive battleground.
"Yue Mei, this destructive power, and the extremely oppressive residual energy, are probably something only a Dou Huang-level expert could achieve."
“You’re right, Mobas. This huge void was formed in one go, so the destructive power of the opponent is indeed astonishing. Even Her Majesty the Queen would find it difficult to cause such great damage in an instant.”
The two snake-people, both at the Dou Wang realm, were quite different. One was alluring and seductive, Yue Mei, the leader of the Enchanting Snake Tribe; the other was wild and domineering, Mo Bas, the leader of the Ink Snake Tribe.
Both of them were top experts of the Snake-People race, and naturally their eyesight was also top-notch. They immediately recognized that the cause of such great destruction was an unknown Dou Huang expert.
"Yue Mei, I remember there are several medium-sized tribes living nearby. Should we capture their tribal chiefs and question them?"
Mobas, whose skin was completely black, said these words without hesitation.
"How can you be so barbaric and domineering? You don't need to ask, I already asked when I came. Several tribal leaders have indeed seen that unknown Battle Emperor, and there was some fighting between them."
The alluring and charming Yue Mei said this.
"They fought with a Dou Huang? And they weren't killed outright?"
"One of them did die, but the others survived, though they were severely injured. Oh, right, the other party gave the one they killed a pill."
Yue Mei took out a pill from her storage ring. It was the Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill that Du Can had previously traded to Su Mu, the leader of the snake-people tribe.
Mobas glanced at it, then sniffed it, and immediately knew the grade of the pill.
"A fourth-grade pill? And a peak fourth-grade Purple Heart Breakthrough Pill at that? Does the other party have too much money to burn?"
"No, that's not it. It's said that the unknown Dou Huang expert is an alchemist, so fourth-grade pills shouldn't be too valuable to him."
"That's not surprising."
Mobas nodded.
Has Her Majesty been informed of this matter?
"Of course we notified them. After all, an unknown human Douhuang powerhouse suddenly broke into the territory of the Snake-People. Although they said they were looking for some medicinal herbs, it's hard to guarantee that they didn't have some ulterior motives. We had to inform the Queen about this."
"Humans..."
Mobass couldn't help but frown.
Yue Mei didn't harbor much hatred towards humans, but Mobas had an extreme hatred for them, wishing he could kill them all.
Now that a new Battle Emperor has emerged among the human race, this has not frightened him at all; on the contrary, it has fueled the fire of his anger even more.
"This is a drawing I made based on the descriptions of those tribal chiefs. Take a look."
Yue Mei handed a painting to Mobas, which depicted Du Can.
Mobas took the painting and looked at it, then his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Yue Mei, are you sure those guys aren't blind? How could someone so young be a Dou Huang?"
"I also find it incredible, but that's what everyone says. Perhaps that unknown Dou Huang deliberately concealed his appearance and appeared in front of everyone as a young boy."
Mobas nodded after hearing this. That's more like it; how could there possibly be such a young Dou Huang powerhouse?
There are countless things on the Dou Qi Continent that can change one's appearance, so strong people generally don't judge others by their appearance, but rather by sensing their aura to determine who they are.
At this moment, a magnificent aura came from afar, the supreme pressure of a Douhuang powerhouse, the imposing presence of an emperor.
"The Queen has arrived."
Yue Mei immediately knew who the visitor was.
As for Mobas, he immediately knelt down to welcome the Queen's arrival.
A moment later, a graceful and imposing snake woman descended from the sky and landed in front of the two.
