Douluo Continent: Crossing Over to Battle Through the Heavens, Starting with a 100,000-Year Soul Rin

Xiao Wujiu thought to himself, then summoned the Creation Cauldron again, threw in the two demon cores, and began to refine them.

……

Meanwhile, in Wutan City, a fierce commercial war was still raging...

Chapter 46 You're the one who's so arrogant and ignorant!

Desert City is located on the eastern border of the Gama Empire.

After several days, Xiao Wujiu and Xiao Yixian arrived at the city closest to the edge of the Tagor Desert.

This place has a special geographical location. Although its area is smaller than Blackrock City, its border with the Serpent People makes its defenses much stronger than those of Blackrock City.

This place also attracts caravans from all over the empire, and even from other empires, making it quite prosperous.

Speaking of which, the Mohist school was also located in the eastern part of the empire, but its headquarters were in Yancheng.

'Forget it, I'll deal with it when I have time. It's just a small family anyway.'

As Xiao Wujiu looked at Mocheng before him, he thought to himself that, given his current strength, his family was at most at the Douling level, which could be considered a small family.

Since landing in Mo City, he could clearly feel that his battle qi had become much more exhilarating, and even the circulation of his battle qi had become more active.

"The environment here is indeed very suitable for people with fire and earth attributes to cultivate. Eighty percent of the free energy in the air belongs to these two attributes."

"How long are we going to stay here?"

Little Fairy Doctor tilted her head and asked, her beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was not quite used to the environment.

"We'll leave here after we get the strange fire."

He thought for a moment, then took out a piece of pure white jade. Under the curious gaze of Little Fairy Doctor, a ball of vermilion flame rose in his hand.

Then the jade stone was quickly melted, eventually transforming into the shape of a hollowed-out butterfly.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a jade bottle radiating cold air reappeared in Xiao Wujiu's hand. He slowly poured the cold spring water inside into the butterfly, filled it, and then sealed the bottle.

Then a blue rope was threaded through it, and a necklace was completed.

"Wu Jiu, what is this?"

"An ornament that can help you relieve the heat." He smiled gently, then came behind Little Fairy Doctor and put the necklace on her.

Instantly, a cool sensation enveloped her, perfectly shielding her from the scorching heat of the outside world!

"How amazing! Wu Jiu, you're so incredible!" Little Fairy Doctor looked at the pure white jade butterfly with blue liquid flowing inside, which looked very gorgeous, and her eyes lit up.

If outsiders knew that Xiao Wujiu used this treasure, comparable to the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, as a cooling jade, they would probably be furious and curse him to death.

But there's nothing he can do about it; it's the thing he has the most of.

"If you like it, let's go."

Seeing her delighted expression, Xiao Wujiu took Little Fairy Doctor's hand again and led her to the point where the second fragment of the map could be obtained.

This place is the "Gutu" shop where Hai Bodong is located, and it seems to be quite famous in this desert city.

In a way, this place is similar to Dugu Bo. The latter requires you to give a code to redeem immortal herbs, while the former requires you to redeem pills. It's the same principle.

Soon, guided by passersby, they arrived at the best map shop in the desert city.

Stepping into this quaint map shop, it was quiet and deserted. Two moonstones illuminated the interior quite brightly, and an old man was arranging the drawn maps next to the counter. That was Hai Bodong.

He wasn't in a hurry. He took Little Fairy Doctor and began searching for the map they needed. Hai Bodong, who was organizing the map, glanced at Xiao Wujiu but didn't say anything.

He would simply go to the other side, put the map he was holding on the shelf, and then return to the counter to continue drawing new maps.

Although his hair was completely white, his large hand holding the drawing pen was still steady and strong.

After searching for a while, Xiao Wujiu finally found the fragment of the map he needed. After checking it, he confirmed that it was the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map he needed, and it was indeed only one-eighth of the original size.

"The guest seems to recognize this fragment of the map?"

At this moment, Hai Bodong, who had been secretly watching Xiao Wujiu, finally couldn't sit still after seeing the former pick up the incomplete map, so he asked.

"Of course, Your Majesty the Ice Emperor, name your price."

Xiao Wujiu held up the tattered map and a rough map of the area around Mo City: "Let's settle the bill together."

"Although I don't know how you know this, you can't afford the price of this fragment. I'll pretend I never met you, put it down and leave."

Upon realizing that the person before him had recognized him, Hai Bodong's previously somewhat cloudy eyes suddenly turned fierce, and his tone carried a faint threat.

Even around him, some icy mist had begun to slowly appear, clearly indicating that he was preparing to make a move.

What if I say... no?

Xiao Wujiu remained smiling, as if he hadn't heard Hai Bodong's threat and ignored the icy mist.

He knows all too well how to deal with Hai Bodong now; he won't talk properly unless he's beaten into submission.

He hadn't deliberately concealed his aura, nor had he removed his third-grade alchemist badge, revealing quite a bit of information. So, letting him name a price was already giving him a chance.

However, Hai Bodong ignored this and believed that he could not afford it, so there was only one way left.

"Then let's stay together..."

Hai Bodong's tone was chilling, and a murderous aura flashed across his face. Before he could finish speaking, his aged figure vanished from the spot, and the solid, cold air around him instantly filled the entire room, turning the whole house into his domain.

Fortunately, all the customers in the map shop had left when he was confronting Hai Bodong, so there was no chance of accidental injury.

"You ignorant brat!"

Within the cold mist, Hai Bodong's figure shifted constantly. Once he found an opportunity, he decisively reached out and grabbed at Little Fairy Doctor behind him!

This kid is an alchemist, and his strength is at least at the Dou Ling realm. To be on the safe side, we should pick the weakest one to attack first, so that he will be hesitant to act rashly.

This is Hai Bodong's plan, and it seems like a very safe solution. Although it's not exactly honorable, he has been living here for over twenty years, and as long as it works, that's enough!

However, it would have been better if he had targeted Xiao Wujiu, but instead he chose to attack Xiao Yixian.

"You're the one who doesn't know your place!"

Xiao Wujiu's eyes instantly turned sharp. Stepping on the "Nine Turns of Cloud Crane," he appeared behind Little Fairy Doctor in a flash, extending a hand towards the charging Hai Bodong.

"Flame Shield!"

The weapon belonging to the "Mysterious Fire Weapon Forging Record" reappeared, and his battle aura transformed into a deep red shield filled with flames.

Hai Bodong slammed his frost-covered fist into the shield, only to find that a scorching heat instantly suppressed him!

This result left him utterly astonished.

"How is that possible!"

Chapter 47 Target: Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame!

"You are, the Battle King!"

"Wait, young man, we can talk this over!"

Seeing his full-force attack easily deflected, Hai Bodong sensed the strength of the person before him and immediately lost all desire to fight.

"If you want to stop now, you'd better lie down obediently first!"

"burst!"

Xiao Wujiu's gaze was icy. After absorbing the two spirit rings, the power of a five-star Dou Wang erupted, and his cold tone made Hai Bodong's heart pound!

At the critical moment, he quickly used the Ice Condensation Mirror to protect himself.

Then he could feel the energy within the shield in front of him beginning to accumulate and become chaotic, and then a powerful energy explosion violently blew him away!

Then Hai Bodong flew back to the counter at an even faster speed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and his aura visibly weakened.

"Damn it, where did this monster come from? If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would be dead here today."

Hai Bodong lay amidst the ruins, staring into the ceiling of the shop, seemingly questioning the meaning of life.

"Now, we can discuss this."

Xiao Wujiu stepped forward at this moment. He had just wanted to attack Little Fairy Doctor, but after retaliating, his anger subsided considerably.

Hai Bodong was, after all, a figure of importance. After the Xiao family disbanded and went into seclusion, he was the one who had to take care of things. Moreover, he was the Supreme Elder of the Mittel family. Otherwise, the last one who dared to make a move against Little Fairy Doctor would have been wiped out.

"Take that fragment of the map. I admit defeat today. I have no grievances in losing to you."

Hai Bodong knew that although his strength was sealed, the person in front of him clearly had not used his full strength, and the shield and the flames rising on it were definitely not simple condensed battle qi or battle qi flames.

The flames even gave him the feeling of—another kind of fire!

As the supreme elder of the Mittel family, he had good judgment, so he was certain that the person in front of him was no genius that the Gama Empire could cultivate!

"No, no, no, I'm going to make a deal with Elder Hai, a deal you can't refuse." Xiao Wujiu's attitude changed quickly. Giving these elderly people appropriate respect can greatly facilitate a deal; that's the art of social maneuvering!

"Oh? Then tell me, what kind of deal can't I refuse?"

Hai Bodong didn't even look up, but his eyes moved to look at Xiao Wujiu, waiting for him to continue.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Xiao Wujiu of the Xiao family, a sixth-grade alchemist. I came here because I heard that there is a strange fire here."

"In exchange for this, I can offer you the other half of this incomplete map and a detailed map of the Tagor Desert. In return, I can help you refine a pill."

Xiao Wujiu's words were very deceptive. He had not forgotten the strange fire needed to refine the Breaking Calamity Pill. Hai Bodong only brought it up because he saw Yao Chen use the Bone Spirit Cold Fire.

What he needs to do now is to take the initiative!

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Hai Bodong sat up abruptly, looking at Xiao Wujiu with disbelief in his eyes.

"You just said you're a sixth-grade alchemist?"

"No, that's not right...but..."

Hai Bodong shook his head as he looked at the badge of a third-grade alchemist on Xiao Wujiu's chest, but then he thought, "How could such a young Dou Wang expert be trying to deceive an old man like me?"

And that flame just now...

"Do you think the Gama Empire is qualified to be rated as a sixth-grade alchemist?"

Xiao Wujiu responded to his question with annoyance, and then asked, "What? I've already given you a chance."

"I have another question: how do you know that this fragment of the map is only half complete? What exactly does it record?"

He looked at Xiao Wujiu with a questioning gaze, even though he already had some guesses in his mind.
