High in the sky, there was a master and apprentice, one teaching and the other learning, and time passed quickly.

Xiao Yan closed his eyes and carefully stored every step of Han Li's alchemy in his mind. This time, it took a full three hours to refine the alchemy, and that was with the help of Han Li's Bone Spirit Cold Fire. It can be seen that if an ordinary alchemist came, it would take him ten days or half a month to refine the Blood Lotus Pill.

After taking in all the techniques, Xiao Yan felt that he had benefited a lot. At the same time, he also discovered that the fire control ability and other things that he was proud of were actually nothing in the eyes of a true alchemy master. For example, the refining of the Blood Lotus Pill this time, although it only required three kinds of materials, the complicated process made Xiao Yan amazed.

At this time, a blood-red, round bullet the size of a longan was spinning rapidly in the alchemy furnace, and it was obvious that it had entered the final step of condensing the pill.

Xiao Yan licked his dry lips and looked outside, only to hear the cry of a golden eagle.

Looking up, a desolate sandy land appeared in the distance.

We’ve arrived at the Tagor Desert!

Chapter 71 Desert City

"The pill is almost ready," Han Li said calmly. Xiao Yan came back to his senses and stopped looking at the sandy Tagor Desert in the distance.

He quickly took out a high-quality rouge jade bottle from his ring, and carefully placed it on the table, while quickly standing up and taking a few steps back.

Glancing at the jade bottle on the table, Han Li nodded slightly. His palm trembled slightly, and an even more intense white flame rose up, and finally completely enveloped the blood-colored pill.

As the dark white flames rolled rapidly several times, a fierce energy wave suddenly spread out from the flames, and in an instant it spread out from the hut like a ripple.

As the energy ripples spread, the flying monster was also startled, and its huge body trembled and swayed a few times, and a scream of fear sounded in the air.

Feeling this sudden energy fluctuation and the change of the flying monster, Xiao Yan's face changed slightly. At the same time, the blood-colored pill that was taking shape suddenly released a strong medicinal fragrance. Moreover, this medicinal fragrance was slightly reddish, coming out of the house and finally lingering in this small piece of sky.

"Hmph!" Seeing the pill taking shape, Han Li waved his hand and the jade bottle flew up. At the same time, a small hole appeared on the dark white flame.

The Blood Lotus Pill came out from the opening and fell directly into the jade bottle. Han Li put one hand behind his back, the white flame went out, and the jade bottle seemed to have a spirit and fell straight into his hand.

After weighing it for a while, Han Li nodded slightly and threw the jade bottle to Xiao Yan, who had been waiting for a long time. The latter took it in a hurry, fearing that the hard-earned Blood Lotus Pill would fall.

Gently placing the jade bottle containing the Blood Lotus Pill into the storage ring, before Xiao Yan could speak, Han Li's sight was cast towards the golden field appearing on the distant horizon, and he said with a smile: "We are almost there at the Tagor Desert, let's go... We will fly the rest of the way by ourselves, so as to avoid unnecessary commotion caused by birds when they land, which would delay us."

After saying this, Han Li turned into a streak of light and entered the storage ring on Xiao Yan's finger. At the same time, the wind and thunder wings that were closely attached to Xiao Yan's back also opened with a "whoosh".

Under Han Li's command, the Golden Mountain Eagle slowly descended and entered the clouds. Xiao Yan stood beside the Golden Mountain Eagle and jumped straight down.

"Teacher, how do we place this monster?"

"Let's just leave them here until we get out of the Tagor Desert."

Xiao Yan nodded, and spread a thin film of Dou Qi on his face. The fierce wind blew past his ears quickly. Xiao Yan flapped his wings, and the purple Dou Qi gradually covered his body. He raised his head and looked at the golden mountain eagle flapping its huge wings not far away. He smiled lightly, and after pausing for a moment, his speed suddenly increased, turning into a silver stream of light, and quickly surpassed the golden mountain eagle...

In the distant sky, silver light, like chasing stars and the moon, instantly crossed the sky and flew towards the loess city standing in the golden desert.

When they were still a few hundred meters away from the city, Xiao Yan's flying speed gradually slowed down. His body trembled slightly, and the wind and thunder wings behind him emitted bursts of silver light, slowly shrinking, and finally sticking to Xiao Yan's back.

Xiao Yan flipped his body in the air and stood firmly on the ground with both feet. He patted the dust off his clothes and looked up at the huge yellow city that appeared at the end of his sight. He smiled slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps due to its proximity to the desert, the weather here is quite dry and hot. The scorching sun shines down from the sky, baking the ground beneath our feet so that it constantly emits suffocating heat. The heat slowly rises up, and it actually makes people's vision appear somewhat distorted and blurred.

Normally speaking, in this definitely not very good environment, no one should feel happy. However, Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised to find that since he set foot on this land, the purple fire fighting spirit flowing in his body had become much more cheerful.

"More than 80% of the air here is earth and fire energy," Han Li explained, "and the purple fire in your body is naturally more sensitive than that of ordinary people."

"And this is one of the reasons why I asked you to come to the desert to practice. The conditions here are harsh. It is indeed the most suitable natural place for training people."

Nodding slightly, Xiao Yan brushed off the dust on his body, put on a black robe, slightly changed his appearance, and walked slowly towards the loess city not far away.

As we gradually approached the city, there were more and more passers-by around us. Most of the men were shirtless, with dark skin. At first glance, they seemed quite bold. The occasional women who passed by also had dark skin, but it was a sexy bronze color.

As I walked along, I looked up at the yellow city whose specific scale could already be seen. I saw two huge light red characters carved on the city wall above the city gate. From a distance, it actually had a faint bloody feeling.

"Desert City."

Xiao Yan whispered, smiled, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

At the city gate, a dozen soldiers in armor were holding spears and shouting at passers-by entering the city to pay the city tax. Looking at these soldiers who were fully armed despite the heat, Xiao Yan was a little stunned. How come the defense here is more strict than that of a large city like Black Rock City?

Without making any fuss, Xiao Yan obediently hung at the back of the team and followed the team forward.

Perhaps because of the hot weather, the soldiers guarding here were also a little irritated by the irritating weather. They kept shouting and scolding at the passers-by at the city gate.

Xiao Yan frowned slightly and decided not to care about it anymore. He thought that wearing such airtight heavy armor in such hot weather would make anyone angry.

After paying the money honestly, Xiao Yan followed the crowd and slowly walked out of the dim city wall passage. His vision brightened slightly, and the city buildings with unique desert characteristics appeared in his field of vision. The strange-looking houses and buildings made Xiao Yan's eyes open.

"Next, go buy the most accurate map of the Tagor Desert," Han Li instructed.

Xiao Yan nodded. This Mo City was the closest city to the Tagor Desert, so naturally there were shops specializing in selling maps.

Chapter 72 Goodbye Remnant Picture

The Tagor Desert is quite large. If you rush around in the desert without a precise target, even if you don't get lost in the sandstorm, you will die sooner or later due to lack of water.

Moreover, due to the frequent wind and sand storms, the terrain in the Tagore Desert changes from time to time, so the map of the Tagore Desert is also updated frequently.

Although Han Li had the map left by Yao Chen in his hand, he didn't know how many years ago it was made. To be on the safe side, he naturally needed to buy another copy for comparison.

"There are still snake people in the Tagor Desert. They are best at driving poisonous snakes to attack. Go to the local medicine store and buy some snake-repellent herbs and make some realgar pills yourself."

Listening to Han Li's instructions one by one, Xiao Yan nodded helplessly and sighed.

Fortunately, water and daily necessities have been fully stocked in Black Rock City, and now it’s just a matter of details.

After pulling a passerby over and asking about the best shop selling desert maps, Xiao Yan quickly walked towards that place.

After walking leisurely for a while, the map shop called "Gutu" appeared in Xiao Yan's sight. He glanced outside the shop and was a little surprised. This shop was not as luxurious as other shops. It even seemed to have a hint of ancient style.

With a little surprise in his heart, Xiao Yan slowly walked into the shop. The interior of the shop was not too spacious. The faint light from the two moonstones made the shop quite bright. He scanned the interior of the shop. There were not many people buying maps. The cold and deserted appearance made Xiao Yan wonder if he had walked into the wrong place.

Walking slowly into the shop, Xiao Yan glanced around and finally stopped at an old man behind the counter who was carefully making a map with his head down. The old man was obviously quite old, but although he had a head full of white hair, the dry palm holding the black drawing pen was still steady and powerful.

Without making a sound to disturb the old man, Xiao Yan swept his eyes across the large number of maps on the counter. He took them in his hands and looked at them over and over again with interest. The clear routes on the maps made him nod with satisfaction.

"Xiao Yan, go to the wooden shelf on the right."

Han Li spoke.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned at first, then he pursed his lips, walked slowly to the right side of the store without saying a word, and saw an ancient wooden shelf in the corner.

"Third row, move aside."

His palm flipped casually and just passed over the place Han Li mentioned. A musty smell came to his face. He frowned slightly and shook his palm. A torn picture the size of a palm suddenly fell out from the pile of things.

"That's it." Han Li said slowly.

"Teacher?" Xiao Yan asked with some confusion.

"Do you remember what we found in the cave in the Monster Mountain Range?" Han Li asked. "The fragment of the map was hidden in the skeleton's arm."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's eyes grew hot and his hands trembled slightly.

“This incomplete picture is also part of the composition.”

The incomplete map that was obtained at that time was extremely strange, and it could even absorb Han Li's soul power, which made him cautious. In this "ancient map" shop, Han Li released his soul power to conduct an investigation as usual, but he did not expect to gain an unexpected surprise.

"This incomplete map may be related to the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire, which ranks third on the Strange Fire List." Han Li thought to himself.

Having read the ancient books left by Yao Chen, Han Li naturally had a certain understanding of the strange fires on the Strange Fire List, and he had naturally seen the pattern of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

At that time, in the corner of the incomplete picture in the cave, there was an enchanting lotus printed on it, and its appearance was exactly the same as the Pure Lotus Demon Fire in the ancient book!

"Xiao Yan, this fragment of the map is very important, we must get it."

Xiao Yan nodded imperceptibly.

At this time, the white-haired old man in the shop finally finished the work in his hands, but he still did not look up, and his old voice echoed flatly in the room.

"Are you going to buy a map of the Tagore Desert?"

Hearing the old man's question, Xiao Yan turned around, walked slowly to the counter, smiled and nodded, and said politely: "Old sir, can you give me the most accurate and detailed desert map?"

"The items are on the counter, choose them yourself." The old man did not stand up to introduce them, but just said it lightly, looking very unlike a businessman.

Seeing the old man's peculiar attitude, Xiao Yan was somewhat stunned, but now that he had something to ask of him, he could only nod helplessly. He casually picked up a map that looked quite detailed from the counter, then carefully spread out the ancient map fragment on his palm and asked softly, "Old sir, do you have any more map fragments like this?"

Listening to Xiao Yan's question, the old man who was concentrating on drawing the map, his palm trembled unnoticeably, and the carefully drawn route was slightly offset, and he frowned slightly. The old man finally raised his head slowly, his eyes swept across the broken map in Xiao Yan's hand, and a hint of inexplicable meaning flashed across his turbid old eyes.

Looking at the old face that was raised, Xiao Yan could not help but be slightly stunned. There was a horrifying scar from the left cheek to the corner of the eye. Although the old man's eyes were quite peaceful, the scar still made him look a little fierce.

Hearing this, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled and shook his head, and said: "I have seen it at an auction before. At that time, I made a random bid to compete for it, but because someone else bid, I gave up. Today, I suddenly saw that the old man had a similar item here, so I was naturally curious."

"Old sir, how much do you want for this incomplete painting?"

His eyes swept across Xiao Yan's face, and the old man seemed to believe what he said.

He just said calmly: "Not for sale."

The old man slowly lowered his head and once again focused his attention on the unfinished map. Although his tone was flat, there was an unquestionable attitude in it.

This old guy seems to know the extraordinary nature of this map.

Xiao Yan clicked his tongue, lowered his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Don't be impulsive, this guy is not simple." Han Li's voice floated in Xiao Yan's ears: "His true cultivation is at the Douhuang level!"

"Dou Huang?" Xiao Yan's heart was shaken, and he said in his heart: "How is it possible? Among the ten strongest men in the Jia Ma Empire, only three are Dou Huangs. Where did this Dou Huang come from?"

"There is a seal inside his body, and he can only exert the strength of a Douling level at the moment."

"Xiao Yan, let's start from this point."

Chapter 73 Battle with the mysterious old man!

"." Xiao Yan was speechless. He really didn't expect that he would meet a former Dou Huang powerhouse just when he came out to buy a map.

Do these masters like to live in seclusion these days?

Instead of enjoying his wealth and glory, he came to a border city like Mocheng to eat dirt. Could it be that he has some masochistic fetish?

Han Li asked him to start from the fact that his opponent's strength was sealed, but he was just a small nine-star fighter and his alchemy skills were only at the second level, so how could he come up with a solution?

He shook his head, took a deep breath, raised his head, and stared at the old man with his pair of black, clear eyes under his black robe. He said solemnly:

"Old man, I really want this map. Please give me a price."

“I believe that there is nothing in the world that cannot be bought, it just depends on whether the price is high enough.”

"Little guy, don't think about stealing my map anymore. I don't want money. Take your things and go. Also, don't think about robbing me. It won't do you any good." The old man waved his hand and said lightly. He didn't seem to be afraid that Xiao Yan would run away with the fragments in his hand.
