"Then I'll leave it to you."
Su Yun gave a slight bow to Fukelan and Otto.
After a few more pleasantries, Su Yun left the Alchemist Guild.
After seeing Su Yun off, Fukelan and Otto cornered Xuemai and Linfei and gave them a good scolding.
Meanwhile, Su Yun found an inn to stay at. With nothing else to do, he began to cultivate.
Seven days passed, and Su Yun returned to the Alchemist Guild.
He waited in the hall for a while, and Fukelan and Otto, accompanied by Xuemai and Linfei, quickly arrived.
Fukelan and Otto bowed and greeted him.
"Master."
"Hmm."
Su Yun nodded.
At this moment, Xuemai and Linfei stepped forward, their expressions respectful and apologetic.
"Master, we are truly sorry for our previous behavior."
Su Yun waved his hand.
"No harm done, it was just a minor issue."
The two of them finally felt relieved.
Su Yun then turned his gaze to Fukelan and Otto.
"President, Vice President, how are the items I requested?"
Fukelan stepped forward and said.
"Master, the herbal ingredients you requested are mostly gathered, and we have quite a few Fourth-Rank Magic Cores. However, there is one herbal ingredient we couldn't obtain."
Su Yun frowned.
"Which one?"
"Ice Spirit Flame Grass."
Su Yun frowned again. This was indeed a rare ingredient.
Ice Spirit Flame Grass isn't particularly valuable, but it's very rare due to its stringent growth conditions.
Collecting it within seven days was indeed challenging.
The one he had obtained in the cave had already been used to fuse with the *Burning Cold Technique*.
Wearing his mask, Fukelan couldn't see Su Yun's expression, but he could sense the master's dissatisfaction from his silence.
Fukelan quickly added.
"Although we couldn't obtain the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, we have learned its location."
Hearing this, Su Yun's frown eased, and he asked.
"Where is it?"
"Tallgor Desert."
Su Yun's eyebrows raised. What a coincidence.
Fukelan, unaware of Su Yun's thoughts, continued.
"I received news these past few days that someone in Mocheng, a map store, was seen with Ice Spirit Flame Grass."
Su Yun was taken aback, momentarily stunned.
Mocheng, a map store?
Could it be that coincidental?
Su Yun quickly asked.
"Is the owner of the map store a Soul Battlemaster who uses Frost Combat Qi?"
Fukelan was slightly surprised but answered.
"Yes, as Master said, the owner of the map store is a Soul Battlemaster who uses Frost Combat Qi. He is an elderly man, but his specific identity is unknown.
He has a mysterious background and has been running the map store in Mocheng for many years. He rarely interacts with others, so we couldn't gather much information about him."
A smile spread across Su Yun's face under his mask.
What a coincidence. With so many distinctive features, how could he not recognize this elderly man? It was none other than the former peak tournament regular, Ice Emperor Huabodong!
"Thank you, this information is enough."
Su Yun thanked Fukelan.
They then exchanged money for goods. Su Yun looked at the ten or so Fourth-Rank Magic Cores and a pile of herbal ingredients in his System Space and nodded in satisfaction.
Just as Su Yun was about to leave, Fukelan spoke up.
"Master Gu Feiyang, could we have the honor of exchanging some more experiences?"
Fukelan's expression was respectful, and he seemed earnest and pleading.
Otto also stepped forward.
"Please, we will prepare another gift for you once this is done."
Su Yun hesitated for a moment and nodded. Even without the gift, he might need their help in the future.
It was just a bit of time, and it was a small favor to do. They had done their best during these seven days.
Thinking this, Su Yun nodded at the two of them.
Fukelan and Otto were overjoyed.
They quickly led Su Yun to a quiet room.
Xuemai and Linfei hurriedly followed.
This time, the so-called experience exchange was different. It was entirely Su Yun speaking, while Fukelan and Otto listened.
Su Yun spoke for two hours straight.
When he paused, Xuemai and Linfei quickly offered tea.
Clearly, they had been instructed in advance.
Su Yun took a sip from each cup and raised an eyebrow.
Good grief, there were two different flavors, one as cold as snow on a mountain, the other as warm as spring sunshine.
Impressive, these guys knew how to enjoy themselves.
"Alright, that's enough. I'm leaving Blackrock City now. Take care, both of you."
Su Yun said to Fukelan and Otto.
They quickly stood up, thanked Su Yun, and each took out a scroll from their Storage Rings.
"This is a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."
Su Yun took the scrolls and glanced at them. They were two Fourth-Class Alchemy Formulas.
Not bad, though not very valuable to him, they would fetch a good price if sold.
Alchemy formulas were highly sought after among alchemists.
For example, Luo Qianchen would be willing to pay a high price for them.
Su Yun nodded.
"Thank you both."
Su Yun then left the Alchemist Guild.
After Su Yun left, Fukelan and Otto were both quite reflective.
"I never thought our Jia Ma Empire had such a Fourth-Class Alchemist. We've never heard of him before."
Otto frowned.
"Maybe he came from another empire?"
"It's possible. His alchemy skills are extremely high, and he's probably not far from Fifth-Class."
Su Yun was unaware of the two old men's discussions.
The advantage of hiding his identity was that no one knew his background, and they could only speculate.
He had no backing from any major power, and the concept of a protector was even more distant.
For someone from a humble background, it was best not to reveal too much information.
Su Yun had already packed his things and found a secluded spot to use the Phantom Shadow Technique and Purple Cloud Wing to fly towards Mocheng.
He had to obtain the Ice Spirit Flame Grass.
It was a crucial ingredient for the Blood Lotus Pill.
He had already obtained the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and the Soul Absorber.
The only thing left to prepare for absorbing the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire was the Blood Lotus Pill.
Mocheng was located in the Tallgor Desert, on the eastern border of the Jia Ma Empire.
It was quite a distance from Blackrock City, and even with the Purple Cloud Wing, it would take a day and a night to reach.
Su Yun stopped about a hundred meters from Mocheng and landed on the ground.
He activated his internal battle qi to retract the Purple Cloud Wing.
Looking at the city before him, a sense of excitement welled up inside him.
He had been longing for the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire for a long time, and Mocheng was the key to obtaining it.
