Chapter 58: Peak Match with Hai Bodong (Part 1)

After packing up all his luggage and making sure nothing was left out, Xiao Se carried the magic sword on his back and walked to the window. The purple cloud wings that were tightly attached to his back stretched out with a rustling sound.

After flapping his purple cloud wings slightly, Xiao Se jumped straight out of the window. The fierce sound of wind breaking through the air passed by his ears quickly. Xiao Se flapped his wings, and purple-green fighting spirit covered his body. He turned around and floated in place, looking at the huge feathered flying monster slowly flying above. Xiao Se smiled lightly, paused for a moment, and then his speed suddenly increased, turning into a purple-green arc of light, and disappeared into the sky. After

a while, Xiao Se came to the sky above the strange building he had seen before. When he saw the words "Ancient Map" on the plaque of the building, he was sure of it.

Landing silently not far from the ancient map shop, waves of heat rushed towards him. Xiao Se narrowed his eyes slightly, looking towards Hai Bodong's residence, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he murmured in his heart: "It's easy to get it, the remaining map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, here I come."

As he spoke, Xiao Se walked straight into Gutu's shop.

After walking slowly for a while, Xiao Se finally stepped into the ancient picture shop.

Walking slowly into the shop, Xiao Se's eyes swept through the shop without leaving a trace. When he saw an old man who was carefully drawing a map with his head down, he was slightly startled and thought to himself, "Is this the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong? The remaining map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire and the information about the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire, this is really a great opportunity."

He resisted the urge to obtain the other half of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire Map and the information about the Strange Fire from him.

Just as Xiao Se was about to look for the half of the map placed on the counter, Long Kui's voice suddenly rang in his mind, "Brother, this old man who drew the map is not simple. According to the level of this world, he seems to be a Dou Huang strongman, but there seems to be some kind of seal in his body, which has suppressed his strength to the Dou Ling level."

The voice was ethereal and pleasant, yet it also had a chivalrous quality to it. It was obvious that it was Hongkui's voice.

"Yeah, I know, but we shouldn't alert the enemy first." Xiao Se nodded secretly and echoed in his heart.

He then pretended to be calm, and slowly swept his eyes across the large number of maps on the counter. He took a map in his hand and turned it over and over with interest. After a while, he finally found the half-broken map that Hai Bodong had placed on an ancient wooden shelf in the corner of the store.

Blinking his eyes, Xiao Se picked up the half-broken map with a trembling hand, breathing a little faster, and thought to himself: "Finally found it."

"Brother. This half of the map seems to be from the same one you got in the Warcraft Mountain Range. It exudes a very rich soul breath." In his heart, Long Kui's soft voice sounded again.

Xiao Se smiled, feeling a little excited. He suppressed the idea of putting it directly into the system warehouse, and walked slowly towards Hai Bodong with the half-broken map in his hand, stopping five meters away.

At the same time, Hai Bodong had just finished his work, but he still didn't look up. An old and calm voice slowly sounded in the store, and asked lightly: "Do you want to buy a map?"

Hearing Hai Bodong's words, Xiao Se picked and chose. After finding a suitable map, he nodded with a smile and said politely, "Old sir, I want this map of the Tagor Desert and this incomplete map. How much do you want?"

"Incomplete map?" Upon hearing Xiao Se's question, Hai Bodong was stunned, and the delicate drawing pen in his hand was broken in an instant. His sight shifted slightly and fell on the incomplete map in Xiao Se's hand, and a hint of sadness appeared on his old face.

Just when he was about to answer that he would not sell it, he saw the second-grade alchemist badge on Xiao Se's chest. A trace of surprise flashed across his turbid old eyes. He glanced at Xiao Se's young face, and the surprise in his eyes was immediately replaced by shock. He took a deep breath and secretly sighed: "What a young second-grade alchemist!"

After a brief shock, Hai Bodong returned to his previous calm demeanor and said calmly: "Young man, have you ever seen this kind of incomplete picture?"

Xiao Se smiled calmly and said, "I haven't seen it before, but I just feel that it is destined for me. If the old gentleman is willing to sell it, I am willing to pay a large sum of money to buy it."

"Not for sale." Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong slowly lowered his head and continued drawing the map.

No matter how young the second-grade alchemist is, as long as he cannot help him refine the sixth-grade evil-breaking pill, he is nothing in Hai Bodong's eyes.

"Haha, old sir, you haven't asked me what price I offered. Maybe I can really come up with something that will excite you." Xiao Se had no intention of putting down the incomplete map. Instead, he stroked the dust off it and said with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Se's laughter, Hai Bodong knew that the other party was determined to get this half of the map, so he waved his hand and said coldly: "Little guy, let me give you one last piece of advice. Don't think about my map. You can be promoted to a second-grade alchemist at this age. You are indeed gifted, but don't think about robbing it. The water out there is very deep, and it is not something a young boy like you can control."

"Indeed, in front of the powerful Douhuang, I, a small second-grade alchemist, am indeed a young boy. But the old gentleman is also dying." Exhaling slowly, Xiao Se said the words that the dead should not be killed.

"Crack!" Another painting brush in Hai Bodong's hand broke. He clapped his hands and the wooden table collapsed. He suddenly stared at Xiao Se. There was a hint of chill in his cloudy old eyes. The temperature in the whole room seemed to drop a few degrees.

"Who are you?"

The biting cold spread from under Hai Bodong's feet, and a layer of frost instantly formed on the ground.

Just as the frost was about to approach Xiao Se, a ball of purple-blue flame suddenly erupted from Xiao Se's body and spread out of his body, competing with the frost condensed by Hai Bodong's coldness.

"Purple-blue flame, could it be a strange fire? No, this power is far less than that of a strange fire, but it is similar to the beast fire of the magical beast of the Jiama royal family, at most slightly stronger. Who is this kid?" Seeing Xiao Se suddenly burst out with purple-blue flames, Hai Bodong was slightly startled, and then couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Boy, I didn't expect that you are so young, but you have such a rare thing. Who is your teacher?"

"Haha, my teacher is used to being a free and easy person, and doesn't want others to know his name." Xiao Se shrugged slightly. He was not stupid enough to tell his secrets. He raised the half-broken map in his hand and said with a smile: "Old sir, I know that your cultivation level has dropped from Dou Huang to Dou Ling for some reason, so I won't embarrass you. As I said just now, I wonder if you are willing to exchange?"

"You won't make things difficult for me. Haha." Hearing Xiao Se's words, Hai Bodong sneered. When did he, the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, fall to the point where he was pitied by others.

Immediately, a chill filled his entire body, and an even more powerful aura spread out from his body. With a hint of anger on his lips, he questioned, "So you think you can defeat me."
