A journey to the heavens starting from the Red Mansion

"Ebi, can you talk properly now?"

Lin Yao stared at Hai Bodong, who was tied up in mid-air, and said calmly.

"Boy, even if you capture me, you will never get the other half of the remaining map. I hid it in a place no one knows about."

Even though he was captured by Lin Yao, Hai Bodong still refused to give in. In addition to wanting to save face and suffer the consequences, he also expected that Lin Yao would not kill him. The other half of the residual picture was his confidence.

"Old Hai, we are enemies, not friends. Otherwise, we can obtain the whereabouts of the other half of the remaining soul using some soul-searching methods."

There was a smile on Lin Yao's lips, but he said horrible things in his words. Methods similar to those of the Soul Palace were definitely the nemesis of these unscrupulous people.

"Boy, if you say you can search for souls, you will search for souls. I have been in the Gama Empire for decades, and I have never heard of such a method."

Hai Bodong was still arrogant, but his twinkling eyes showed that his mood was not as firm as his face.

"Such a powerful soul power cannot be faked."

The soul power of the spiritual realm spread. Hai Bodong's expression changed after he felt it, but he was unwilling to admit it and his tone was unwilling.

"If I hadn't been sealed back then, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be threatened by others? Kill or behead me, it's up to you."

Haibodong snorted coldly, his cold and arrogant tone showing his final stubbornness.

Hearing the lack of confidence in Hai Bodong's words, Lin Yao narrowed his eyes slightly. Sure enough, Soul Palace's methods were quite effective in dealing with tough talkers.

"I can help you break the seal."

Lin Yao said in a deep voice.

"Do you know anything about this sealing technique?"

Hai Bodong ignored the untied restraints and looked at Lin Yao solemnly.

"Understood."

Lin Yao flicked his fingers gently, and a wisp of purple-green flame appeared on his fingertips.

"It only takes a little energy to help you recover to your peak strength."

"Boy, I admit that you are very strong and a peerless genius, but I don't think there is anything you can do to help me recover."

Haibodong's eyes showed a hint of temptation.

"Unless you are a sixth-grade alchemist."

"Not yet, I know an eighth-grade alchemist, and what I have in my hand is the strange fire. Just take out the recipe for your Po'er Dan."

Lin Yao heard the temptation in his tone and told everything about himself without any secret.

It is worth paying a small price to get this residual picture.

"Strange Fire, an eighth-grade alchemist, no wonder he is so strong at such a young age."

Hai Bodong looked at the purple-green flame in Lin Yao's hand in disbelief, feeling the gold content of that paragraph word for word.

"With your background, have you specifically investigated me? How did you know that I have this sixth-grade elixir, Po'er Dan?"

"As for these details, don't go into details. When you were hung in the air by me, did you expect that I could beat you with my fighting spirit strength?"

Lin Yao shook his head with a smile and said with a smile: "Since I can achieve such strength at this age, the rest is natural."

"Boy, it seems that I made a mistake and underestimated everyone in the world."

Haibodong pondered for a moment and then said.

"Since you know that I am Ice Emperor Haibodong, you must also be familiar with my deeds."

"I've heard of it. Who doesn't know Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, one of the top ten strongest men in the Jia Ma Empire?"

Lin Yao nodded casually.

Lin Yao's indifferent look made Hai Bodong not in the mood to brag.

He sighed and continued:

"Back then, I went to the Tagore Desert and got the fragment of the map during an adventure. However, because I went too deep into the territory of the Snake Tribe, I was chased by Queen Medusa.

My strength is far from Queen Medusa's opponent. Although I was lucky enough to survive, I was also sealed. As a result, my body aged rapidly and my strength also regressed to the spirit-fighting level.

After so many years of tossing and turning, I finally found this sixth-grade elixir, Po'er Dan. "

"The Edan needs strange fire, otherwise you can go to the Jiama Empire to find the Dan King Gu He, and there is no need to waste time here." Lin Yao picked up the topic and said slowly.

"But I happen to have it. Can't we just sit down and talk about it earlier? Give me the prescription."

Hai Bodong listened to Lin Yao's heart-wrenching words, and as expected, sincerity is a sure-fire skill, and he gave the recipe for breaking Edan with a dark face.

"You also know the rules of an alchemist. After so many years of preparation, no surprise, all the medicinal materials are ready."

Lin Yao asked casually after taking the pill recipe.

"Ah, this..."

Hearing Lin Yao's words, Hai Bodong smiled awkwardly to cover up his lack of confidence.

“What’s missing is the Mandala of Sand, a medicinal material that can only be found in the Tagore Desert.

My cultivation has been sealed by Queen Medusa, and I have ice attribute fighting energy. I can easily be discovered by her in the Tagor Desert. With my current cultivation, it will be over once I am discovered..."

"That means you want me to help you find medicinal materials, right?"

Lin Yao smiled softly and said.

"In this case, it would be unkind to ask me to run around for you based on just a small fragment of the picture, Mr. Hai."

"Forehead……"

Haibodong looked a little embarrassed, knowing that his request was still a bit excessive, but now he could only place his hope on Lin Yao.

"I'll take these things with me first. When I find the Mandala of Sand, I will naturally bring them to exchange with you for the remaining half of the fragment."

Lin Yao smiled slightly.

"And when this is all over, you need to do something for me."

"Can I help you with something?"

Hearing Lin Yao's words, Hai Bodong fell into deep thought.

Then he quickly shook his head, "No!"

"Ebi Lao, please follow the principles of an alchemist."

Lin Yao looked indifferent and authentic.

"You ask others to make elixirs, and you ask others to find medicinal materials. Aren't these two different things?

The residual picture is the reward for alchemy. Looking for the missing important medicinal materials is equivalent to me doing another thing for you, and you need to pay the corresponding reward. "

"..."

"Don't worry, I will never let you do anything that goes against your heart, and it will be within your capabilities."

Lin Yao smiled and said.

"What's more, I think in the Jia Ma Empire, the right people are more important than anything else."

“You kid has a way with what you say, but if what you said before was true, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Haibodong sighed helplessly,

"You successfully convinced me. If you can really refine the elixir, then I will do something for you."

"It's a word."

Lin Yao nodded and chuckled.

"Since you want to go deep into the Tagore Desert, prepare the most detailed map for me. You don't want me to waste time going in the opposite direction and can't refine the elixir for you as soon as possible, right?"

"This is a detailed map of the Tagore Desert."

Haibodong hesitated and took out a map from his body.

"Ebi, finally took out the stuff in the box."

Lin Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and took the thin piece of parchment.
Upon opening it, this map is indeed more detailed than other maps, including routes, water sources, and places where snake people gather.
