Heavenly Flame Information

"Don't call this old man the Ice Emperor anymore. To have lost so thoroughly to a junior, this old man is unworthy of the title Ice Emperor. Just call me Hai Bodong instead." Hai Bodong waved his hand and spoke somewhat helplessly.

"The Ice Emperor is being too serious. In this world, those at the same realm who can defeat me must be strong, but those who lose to me are not necessarily weak. It is only because I am one of the strongest among the strong. In the future, many more strong people will fall at my hands, so there is no need for you to give up on yourself. Since you do not wish for me to call you Ice Emperor, then I shall call you Elder Hai from now on!" Looking at the somewhat dispirited Hai Bodong, Lin Yuan comforted him.

Hearing this, Hai Bodong glanced at Lin Yuan, then looked at the young man before him. His expression remained indifferent, yet those gentle words emitted a different kind of sharpness. The confidence that came from deep within his heart carried a mysterious, convincing force, and it calmed Hai Bodong's somewhat downcast heart a little.

"Then what do you need me to do? Or rather, how do you intend to deal with me?" Hai Bodong asked.

"Deal with you? Elder Hai, you are overthinking it. I said we are in a cooperative relationship. As a show of sincerity, I will first completely remove the seal I set on you." Lin Yuan smiled. As he spoke, his hands formed several seals in front of him, and a streak of green light flew from his fingertip into Hai Bodong's body. Soon after, a small and delicate dragon-shaped fire spirit flew out of Hai Bodong's body and landed on Lin Yuan's fingertip. Lin Yuan snapped his fingers, and the dragon-shaped fire spirit slowly dissipated into the air.

Seeing the fire spirit dissipate, Hai Bodong sensed his own condition. After noticing that the power within his body that emitted a special pressure had truly disappeared, he also let out a breath of relief in his heart. He did not want to experience the feeling of being sealed ever again.

After removing the seal, Lin Yuan looked at Hai Bodong and smiled. "How is it? This sincerity of mine should be enough, right? Elder Hai may not feel it now, but I believe you will later discover that meeting me is the greatest opportunity of your life."

"The greatest opportunity, is it? I hope so." Hai Bodong gave Lin Yuan a deep look. Having been defeated, his tone had become much gentler.

"Can you tell me how you fell from a Dou Emperor to a Dou Ling?" Seeing Hai Bodong soften, Lin Yuan pretended to ask curiously. A trace of cunning flashed through Lin Yuan's eyes. Of course he knew that Hai Bodong's strength had fallen because he had been sealed by Queen Medusa after taking part in the struggle over the remnant map. He was asking this question to test Hai Bodong and see how effective this round of both grace and intimidation had been.

"The reason my strength fell? That was because of Queen Medusa's seal." When Queen Medusa was mentioned, Hai Bodong's eyes gained a hint of trembling. His psychological shadow was extremely severe.

"Back then, after I finished taking part in that gathering of strong people between empires, I came to the Tagor Great Desert. By chance, I obtained that remnant map, the one you took from me. However, it drew Queen Medusa over. During the battle, I lost to her. Although I seized an opportunity to escape, I was struck by her Snake Sealing Curse. Not only did my body rapidly age, even my strength was sealed at the Dou Ling level."

"It was indeed a thrilling experience." Lin Yuan echoed him, nodding to himself in secret. It seemed this whole operation of combining kindness and authority had not been in vain after all. Hai Bodong could also be considered trustworthy. There would be fewer concerns in using him later.

"Queen Medusa's seal, is it? Interesting. I have some study in sealing as well. The sealing technique from before was one I created myself. If you do not mind, you might as well let me take a look and see if there is anything I can help with." Lin Yuan made Hai Bodong a suggestion.

"Then I will trouble you." Hearing this, Hai Bodong said with his face as usual, but in his heart, he was extremely shocked. As someone who had been struck by the Ancient Dragon Spirit Suppressing Seal, he could feel that the seal was extremely unusual. He had not expected that it was actually created by the young man before him. Not only was this person's combat strength tyrannical, even his research into Dou Techniques was so outstanding? A trace of anticipation appeared in his heart.

"Then there is no time to lose. Let us begin directly. Elder Hai, please sit cross-legged properly and do not resist my probing." In his heart, Lin Yuan made a plan successful gesture as he spoke and walked behind Hai Bodong, preparing to study Queen Medusa's Snake Sealing Curse.

Hai Bodong sat as instructed and did not resist. This was the awareness of the defeated. He also could not think of any reason Lin Yuan would have to harm him, after all, his strength and his life had just been returned to him by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan placed his hand against Hai Bodong's back. First, he released his own Soul Perception to probe the seal inside Hai Bodong's body. Then, he circulated his Dou Qi to test the Snake Sealing Curse, and he also circulated his own Dou Qi while having Hai Bodong cooperate in various tests, gaining quite a bit.

"So that's how it is. This is how the Snake Sealing Curse works."

"The seal can be maintained for so many years. What about replenishing energy? So that's how it is."

"The method of resisting interference is..."

"Mm? This aspect is rather similar to my Ancient Dragon Spirit Suppressing Seal."

"This rune is..."

"This method of using bloodline spirituality and pressure is rather clever."

"These parts can be learned from. They can be used to improve the Ancient Dragon Spirit Suppressing Seal..."

Several hours later, Lin Yuan finished examining the Snake Sealing Curse and began to ponder.

Hai Bodong looked at Lin Yuan from the side with some expectation. During the testing process just now, he had confirmed that the young man before him did indeed have quite a way with sealing techniques.

After a long while, seeing that Lin Yuan had finished thinking, Hai Bodong asked somewhat anxiously, "How is it? Is there any way?"

Lin Yuan replied, "I cannot remove this seal for the time being." After disappointment appeared on Hai Bodong's face, Lin Yuan added, "But I can weaken this sealing technique a little, making its seal on you less tight. It can allow your strength to recover to the Dou Wang level."

Hearing this, Hai Bodong was overjoyed and said in surprise, "This old man will be very satisfied if I can recover to Dou Wang. At the very least, I will be able to freely fly in the sky on my own. This old man has not felt the feeling of freely flying through the sky for decades. Just thinking about it makes me miss it."

"However, I still have some preparations to make regarding weakening the seal. In addition, there are still some urgent matters I need to handle, so we can only wait until the next time we meet. Speaking of which, my urgent matter may also require Elder Hai's help." Lin Yuan looked at Hai Bodong with a meaningful glint in his eyes.

"Oh, is there something this old man can do?" Seeing some hope of breaking the seal, Hai Bodong also became proactive.

"My elders once told me that there is a Heavenly Flame in the Tagor Great Desert. They had me come here to search for the Heavenly Flame and subdue it, because it will be very helpful to my alchemy. Elder Hai has stayed in the Tagor Great Desert for so many years. Do you have any clues related to the Heavenly Flame?" Lin Yuan looked at Hai Bodong and asked.

"Elders? To be able to cultivate such a monstrous figure, and even know that there is a Heavenly Flame here, the power behind this kid is quite extraordinary! It seems cooperating with this kid may indeed be a great opportunity." Thinking of this, Hai Bodong made a decision in his heart.

"As for the Heavenly Flame, this old man does indeed know a little." As he spoke, Hai Bodong took out a thin piece of sheepskin from his storage ring and unfolded it. This was an extremely detailed map of the Tagor Great Desert. It not only accurately marked the locations of water sources in the desert, but also carefully marked the snake-people tribes scattered throughout the desert. In the east, west, and north directions on the map, there was an extremely conspicuous flame symbol.

Hai Bodong looked at Lin Yuan and smiled. "In my exploration, these three places marked with flames in the Tagor Desert are the most likely places to have a Heavenly Flame. Personally, I suggest going first to the two flame markers in the east and north. This location in the west is close to the depths of the Tagor Desert, and the possibility of encountering Queen Medusa is not small."

Lin Yuan received the map and looked deeply at Hai Bodong. "It seems Elder Hai has already accepted our cooperation from the bottom of your heart. This is excellent. Believe me, in the future, you will definitely be glad for the decision you made today."

"This old man hopes so as well. Since you are an alchemist, can you tell this old man what grade alchemist you are?" After making up his mind to cooperate, Hai Bodong also began to speak more frankly.

"Sixth-grade. Although I have not undergone an assessment, refining sixth-grade pills is not very difficult for me. If I can find a Heavenly Flame this time, my success rate in refining pills will also increase greatly." Lin Yuan answered straightforwardly.

"Sixth-grade. How powerful must a force be to cultivate such a young Dou Wang and Sixth-Grade Alchemist? Could it be the legendary Pill Tower? It seems I may really have run into an opportunity this time." Hai Bodong analyzed and thought in his heart, and at the same time, he became increasingly convinced of his guess that Lin Yuan came from a great force in the Central Plains.

"Then this old man will give you one more thing. This is a sixth-grade pill formula this old man obtained over the years that can break seals. It requires a Heavenly Flame to refine. Consider it a congratulatory gift in advance for you subduing the Heavenly Flame." As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Seeing Hai Bodong being so cooperative, Lin Yuan also prepared to return the favor and promised, "If I successfully subdue a Heavenly Flame this time, I will help you refine this pill. How are the medicinal ingredients prepared?"

Hearing this, Hai Bodong said somewhat awkwardly, "I have already gathered the medicinal ingredients required by the formula. I am only missing a single stalk of Sand Mandara, which can only be found in the Tagor Great Desert. I have Queen Medusa's seal in my body. As long as I step into the depths of the Tagor Great Desert, she will notice... so..."

"So you want me to help you obtain that medicinal ingredient? This does not conform to the rules of alchemy." Lin Yuan glanced at Hai Bodong and said indifferently.

"I know, but as long as the pill described on it is refined, I can recover my strength, which will also be beneficial to our cooperation, right? After all, there is a difference between the roles a strong person and a weak person can play. At the same time, if I can recover my strength, I can make the Mite'er Family, one of the three great families of the Jia Ma Empire, available for your use." Hai Bodong stared fixedly at Lin Yuan. Having made up his mind, he was determined to invest all his capital.

"The Mite'er Family... Mm, it may indeed be useful later. Since you have such sincerity, then I agree. I will obtain the Sand Mandara for you." Seeing that his goal had been completely achieved, and that Hai Bodong had thoroughly believed his words and gotten onto his ship, Lin Yuan did not begrudge releasing some goodwill.

"Many thanks." Seeing Lin Yuan agree to the matter, Hai Bodong also put down a heavy stone in his heart.

"After preparing for so many years, I have finally seen hope. I only hope that I have not misjudged this person or placed my bet wrongly this time."

"Hai Bodong really is an excellent investor."

Under the night sky, the two of them had different thoughts.

"Then, Elder Hai, let us part here. I will return within half a year. When the time comes, I will help you break part of the seal or refine the pill to remove the seal."

"Farewell. This old man will wait for you in the city."

After the two bade farewell, Lin Yuan flew into the sky, like a streak of green light flying toward Shimo City.

"Next stop, Shimo City, Qing Lin."
