A flicker of fear and desolation crossed Hai Bo Dong's eyes.
Feeling the injuries on his body and the seal in his dantian, Hai Bo Dong's face showed a hint of bitterness.
Is this the end?
Though he had survived, he knew that in his current state, he was no match for Su Yun.
Su Yun retracted his fist and shook his arm. The Frost Ice Shield had been somewhat effective, and the counterforce had left his left hand a bit sore.
Su Yun looked at Hai Bo Dong, who was panting on the ground, and nodded in satisfaction.
He had already broken through to the Spirit Fighter realm and had been strengthened by the Mighty Ox Strength Technique. His power was far beyond what it was when he was just a 9-Star Great Battlemaster.
If he were to fight the ice snake now, he could defeat it in no more than three rounds.
Feeling the strength in his body, Su Yun's eyes flashed with excitement.
He had already tasted the benefits of the body-strengthening martial arts.
The Mighty Ox Strength Technique had not only enhanced his physical strength but also increased his speed as his body became stronger, significantly boosting his overall strength.
Su Yun sheathed his red sword and slowly walked toward Hai Bo Dong.
"Old Mr. Hai, I apologize for my rudeness this time," Su Yun said.
As he spoke, Su Yun took out a bottle of healing pills from the system space.
In fact, he had already held back.
The Eightfold Collapse he had used earlier had not contained any hidden force.
Otherwise, even if the Frost Ice Shield had blocked it, the hidden force would have remained in Hai Bo Dong's arms, and once triggered, he would have been reduced to a human stick.
Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong was taken aback. He lowered the hand that was clutching his chest and pointed at Su Yun, his fingers trembling.
"How, how do you know my identity?"
Su Yun smiled slightly but did not answer, only helping Hai Bo Dong to his feet.
"Old Mr. Hai, don't be nervous. I have no ill intentions."
No ill intentions, yet you beat me up like this.
Hai Bo Dong muttered to himself but did not say it out loud, fearing that Su Yun might kill him with a single punch.
After helping Hai Bo Dong to a chair, Su Yun sat down opposite him.
"Now, Old Mr. Hai, can we talk properly?"
Hai Bo Dong snorted.
"Humph, say what you want."
Hai Bo Dong now understood that this unknown person probably had something to ask of him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken this attitude.
Thinking of this, Hai Bo Dong let out a sigh of relief.
He was also a man who valued his life. Who wanted to die if they could live?
"Hehe, Old Mr. Hai, I came here this time to make a deal with you," Su Yun said.
Hai Bo Dong opened the jade bottle and took the healing pill Su Yun had given him.
Though his strength was gone, his eyesight had not diminished at all.
This was a fourth-grade healing pill, which he had taken many times when he was younger. It was not poisonous.
Moreover, if this person wanted to kill him, he could have done so with a single punch, without all this trouble.
Without any suspicion, he swallowed the pill.
Feeling his injuries ease and no longer worsen, Hai Bo Dong let out a sigh of relief and said, "What kind of deal do you want to make?"
"I've heard that you have an Ice Spirit Flame Grass. I want that and the fragment of the map.
Additionally, I need your help to find a Strange Fire in the Tallgor Great Desert."
Hai Bo Dong frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "What can I get out of it?"
"I will try my best to help you recover your Martial Emperor cultivation."
Hai Bo Dong's eyes widened, and he slammed his hand on the table.
"You're trying to get something for nothing. You take so much from me, and all you offer is a vague promise to help me. No way."
Su Yun smiled and removed the face mask, revealing the face of a young man to Hai Bo Dong.
Of course, this was not his true appearance.
Hai Bo Dong looked at the young man in front of him, shocked.
So young, how could this be possible?!
"What do you want to do, Old Mr. Hai?"
Hai Bo Dong took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
"I want you to go to the Tallgor Great Desert and find a herb called Sand Mandala.
Additionally, I want you to find a Six-rank Alchemist who possesses a Strange Fire."
Su Yun nodded.
"Alright."
Seeing Su Yun agree so readily, Hai Bo Dong was taken aback.
He couldn't help but ask, "Do you know how difficult this is?
The Sand Mandala is deep in the Tallgor Great Desert, where many snake people are entrenched.
Even if you are a Spirit Fighter, you might not be able to return unscathed.
And finding a Six-rank Alchemist who possesses a Strange Fire is even harder.
In the entire Jiamai Empire, only Pill King Gu He is a Six-rank Alchemist, and he doesn't possess a Strange Fire."
Su Yun shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, Old Mr. Hai. Since I've agreed, I won't go back on my word.
However, I need you to give me the Ice Spirit Flame Grass first and help me find the Strange Fire in the Tallgor Great Desert."
Hai Bo Dong frowned.
"No, you bring me the Sand Mandala and the Six-rank Alchemist with a Strange Fire first."
Hearing this, Su Yun's smile vanished, and his face turned cold.
"Old Mr. Hai, you haven't quite grasped the situation."
Su Yun's tone was calm, but Hai Bo Dong could hear a hint of menace in it.
Hai Bo Dong finally remembered his predicament and laughed awkwardly.
"Young brother, let's talk things out. Why are you always resorting to violence?"
As he spoke, Hai Bo Dong took out a herb from his Storage Ring, which was the Ice Spirit Flame Grass Su Yun wanted.
Hai Bo Dong was about to speak when he saw Su Yun snatch the Ice Spirit Flame Grass and put it in the system space.
Hai Bo Dong smiled bitterly. Now, he was at the mercy of this person and had no choice but to submit.
Seeing Hai Bo Dong's expression, Su Yun snorted.
If Hai Bo Dong had been more cooperative, he wouldn't have resorted to violence. The Storage Ring Hai Bo Dong wore was just a mid-level Storage Ring with no master recognition ability.
If he were to anger him, Su Yun could easily kill him and take his treasures.
He knew very well that the map indicating the general location of the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire was inside the ring.
As for the Purified Lotus Demon Fire fragment that Hai Bo Dong had split, it was kept in his chest, close to his body.
During the negotiation, Su Yun had already used the system's scanning function to thoroughly investigate everything.
The only reason he was still talking to Hai Bo Dong was because of the Martial Emperor strength he would regain after breaking the seal.
"Young brother, since you've already taken the Ice Spirit Flame Grass, how about we compromise?
You find the Sand Mandala for me first, and I'll help you find the Strange Fire.
Then, you bring a Six-rank Alchemist with a Strange Fire, and I'll give you the fragment of the map.
The fragment you took is only half of the complete map."
A cold smile flashed across Su Yun's face. His patience was running thin.
Su Yun reached out and directly took the other half of the fragment from Hai Bo Dong's chest, putting it in the system space.
