Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 608 I only want to do one thing: get Haibo Dong on the pirate ship!

The morning light streamed into the room through the patterned windows, dappling the floor like blooming flowers.

Inside the room, Jing Chen, who was sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne, slowly opened his eyes. A faint blue light flashed in his eyes before quickly disappearing.

He slightly moved his neck, making a crisp sound. Jing Chen took a breath of the cool morning air, and a feeling of comfort instantly spread throughout his body.

After a whole night of rest, the fatigue that had enveloped Jing Chen had vanished. He lightly jumped off the lotus throne, and with a wave of his hand, the lotus throne transformed into a streak of green light and flashed into Jing Chen's storage ring.

After straightening his clothes, Jing Chen opened the door. In the living room, Hai Bodong had already woken up and was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, quietly gazing at the bustling street outside.

Seemingly noticing Jing Chen emerge, Hai Bodong turned around, smiled at Jing Chen, and said, "Judging from your appearance, you seem to have had a good rest?"

Smiling and nodding, Jing Chen also laughed and said, "Let's go. Since the Mo family is busy today, let's hurry over to the Mo family, find Qing Lin, and then give that old guy a proper 'birthday celebration'!"

"Judging from the murderous aura on your face, the Mo family's joyous occasion is about to turn into a funeral, isn't it?" Hai Bodong smiled and laughed as he saw the fleeting glint of coldness on Jing Chen's face.

"First of all, since he ordered the complete annihilation of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, he should have been prepared for retaliation. I've slaughtered entire families before, but this time, I only want to kill that old bastard!"

Jing Chen crossed his arms and chuckled softly, "Moreover, without Mo Cheng's support, the Mo family's status in Yancheng will likely plummet. At that time, the three major families in the eastern provinces will naturally help us deal with the Mo family. This is a rare opportunity to gradually erode the Mo family, and I'm sure they won't let it go."

"Aren't you afraid that the Yunlan Sect will avenge him?"

"Yunlan Sect? If Yunlan Sect dares to come, then I, Jing Chen, will naturally not be afraid! However, Hai Bodong, do you think Yunlan Sect would hunt down two Dou Huang powerhouses for a mere outer sect steward?" Jing Chen said with a light laugh.

"Two Dou Huang level experts?" Hai Bodong blinked in confusion, pondered for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said, "I told you, don't drag me into this. This is your feud with them, it has nothing to do with me."

"Could it be that the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who is famous throughout the Jia Ma Empire, is afraid of the Yunlan Sect?" Jing Chen smiled lightly and looked at Hai Bodong.

"Tch, don't try that low-level provocation. While I may be wary of the Yunlan Sect, I'm far from being afraid. I don't want to be used as a pawn by you for no reason. Besides, once I repay your favor, I'll be free to do whatever I want," Hai Bodong said, curling his lip.

Casually toying with a teacup on the table, Jing Chen pondered for a moment, then looked Hai Bodong up and down, asking seemingly casually, "May I ask, Elder Hai, what level of Dou Huang were you before you were sealed? And what level of Dou Huang are you now?"

"It was five stars before it was sealed, now it's two stars. Why are you asking this?" Hai Bodong's expression stiffened slightly when asked this question.

"Oh? It seems that although your seal has been broken, your strength is not at its peak?" Jing Chen said casually, with a hint of regret in his voice.

Hai Bodong's lips twitched, and he waved his sleeve, saying, "I've been sealed for decades, so my strength can't be restored all at once. Just... just wait another four or five years, and it will automatically return to its peak state!"

"Hehe, you probably don't even believe it yourself, do you? As we all know, if your strength declines, it might take even longer to regain it than when you first advanced, right?" Jing Chen shook his head with a smile and continued to look at Hai Bodong.

"Jing Chen, what exactly are you trying to say?" Hai Bodong frowned and asked, looking at the smile on Jing Chen's face.

"Since you don't like beating around the bush, Hai Bodong, I'll be frank. I might be able to help you regain the strength that has declined due to the seal within a year, and of course, there won't be any side effects!" Jing Chen gently placed the quilt on the table and said with a smile.

Upon hearing Jing Chen's words, even Hai Bodong's expression changed slightly. A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes. However, after a moment, his face returned to normal, and he cautiously stared at Jing Chen, hesitating for a moment before asking, "What method?"

"Have you heard of the Rejuvenating Purple Pill?" Jing Chen sat up slightly, looking at Hai Bodong's blank expression, and continued with a smile, "It's a fifth-grade pill. Although its grade isn't particularly high, the materials it requires are extremely difficult to find. Its function is to completely restore strength lost due to sealing or internal injuries. This seems extremely suitable for you, doesn't it?"

"The Rejuvenating Purple Pill?" Hai Bodong murmured to himself a few times, a slight hint of joy on his face. Then, staring intently at Jing Chen, he licked his lips and asked, "Tell me, what reward do you need?"

As shrewd as Hai Bodong was, he didn't believe Jing Chen would offer him such a good thing for free. This was completely out of character for Jing Chen, who wouldn't do anything without a reason.

"Hehe." Upon hearing this, Jing Chen simply chuckled, looking every bit like a cunning fox: "As I mentioned earlier, the ingredients for the Rejuvenating Purple Pill are very difficult to gather, so it will take a lot of time to find them. However, I will find a way to help you find these ingredients. In that case, until I finish refining the Rejuvenating Purple Pill, you'll probably have to stay by my side at all times."

"Damn, are you looking for long-term thugs?" Hai Bodong's lips twitched slightly as he blurted out Jing Chen's thoughts.

However, Jing Chen did not respond to Hai Bodong's question; he simply smiled and looked at Hai Bodong.

No matter what, Hai Bodong is a Dou Huang powerhouse. He certainly wouldn't feel honored to be Jing Chen's long-term henchman.

"Hai Bodong, you need to understand that relying on yourself, without some extraordinary adventure, you won't be able to recover to your peak condition for at least ten years. But now, you only need to serve as my bodyguard for a period of time, and you can recover to your peak condition in the fastest way possible. Trading ten years of your time as my bodyguard is a very worthwhile deal. You can also think about how much you can accomplish in ten years? How much your strength can improve?" Jing Chen's voice was like a demonic chant, constantly eroding Hai Bodong's heart.
