Regaining Dou Emperor Strength

"What do you need the map for?" Hai Bodong asked, somewhat puzzled. But then Hai Bodong suddenly realized something and said with a cold expression, "How did you know I got a map from Medusa?"

Xiao Yu said, "I was not far from you that night, so I know!"

"How is that possible? How could you have hidden right under my Medusa's noses back then?" Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Yu with some surprise and doubt.

"Just tell me if you want to change it or not!" Xiao Yu said directly.

Hai Bodong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yu and asked, "How can I be sure that the Po E Dan is truly effective?"

"I can give you the Po E Dan, but you must also hand over the map you have. I'll leave after you recover your strength, how about that?" Xiao Yu suggested directly.

While Hai Bodong was still pondering, Xiao Yu continued, "This map was originally obtained from Medusa, but I imagine you still don't know what it's for, right? And you can't copy it anyway. Having something completely useless to you is pointless. The most important thing is to restore your strength as quickly as possible!"

Undoubtedly, Xiao Yu's words struck a chord with Hai Bodong. He could indeed copy the map, even though it was copied stroke by stroke. Yet, upon comparison, the final result was vastly different!

Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Yu and said, "It seems you know what this map is for?"

Xiao Yu said bluntly, "Of course, but don't try to get any information out of me. The fact that I can produce Sixth Grade Pills means I have powerful backing. The strength behind me is beyond your imagination, so don't have any other ideas!"

Xiao Yu, seeing Hai Bodong's expression, naturally knew what he was thinking. So, without hesitation, he raised a banner for himself. There weren't many alchemists who could refine Sixth Grade Pills, let alone a Sixth Grade Alchemist controlled Heavenly Flames, or even a higher-level alchemist. Therefore, offending Xiao Yu was clearly unwise!

Moreover, Hai Bodong could see that Xiao Yu was wearing an alchemist's robe. Such a young Second-grade Alchemist, regardless of his power, his talent alone was not worth offending.

Hai Bodong gave Xiao Yu a deep look and said, "You've won. I'll hand you the map now. But if I find out you've played tricks with the pills, no matter what kind of power you have backing, I will hunt you down to the bitter end!"

Xiao Yu let out a soft breath and smiled, "Of course not!" It seems that Hai Bodong was still intimidated by the banner he had raised. But that's fine, it will save trouble later!

Hai Bodong sighed, then touched his Storage Ring. A small, extremely ancient, yellowed piece of parchment appeared in Hai Bodong palm. He stroked the ancient map with great reluctance, saying, "I never thought that the map I worked so hard to obtain would end up benefiting you, little fellow!"

He then sighed and said, "Never mind, after studying the map for so long, I haven't found anything. I'll just hand it over to someone as destined as you!" With that, he handed over the incomplete map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

Xiao Yu accepted the map. Although he might be able to directly sign in to the Heavenly Flames through the system in the future, what if someone else beat him to it? And if the system eventually stopped allowing him to sign in to the Heavenly Flames, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame would end up benefiting someone else!

Therefore, regardless of whether this incomplete map is useful to Xiao Yu, he must keep it in his own hands!

Upon receiving the incomplete map, Xiao Yu immediately tossed the Po E Dan from his Storage Ring to Hai Bodong. Hai Bodong hurriedly caught the wooden box and looked at Xiao Yu, saying, "I'll have to trouble you to come with me to break the seal!"

"Let's go!" Xiao Yu said nothing and followed Hai Bodong directly towards the basement.

As Hai Bodong opened the heavy door to the basement, a chill emanated from it; it was an ice cellar, and a cold aura emanated continuously from within.

Hai Bodong chuckled and said, "Hehe, the Dou Qi I cultivate is of the Ice Attribute, so cultivating here is twice as effective. Moreover, it's extremely beneficial for suppressing and sealing my seals. Being underground, no other powerful figures will be able to detect me!"

Xiao Yu nodded. He knew Hai Bodong was very vigilant. He stepped inside and sat down on a chair. "Please hurry, Elder Hai, I have other things to do!"

"Hehe, no problem." Hai Bodong chuckled and then flashed onto a platform made entirely of ice. He sat down cross-legged, opened the wooden box, and swallowed the pale purple Po E Dan Hai Bodong!

On the ice platform, Hai Bodong fell into silence after swallowing the pill. After a while, his body suddenly trembled violently, and fierce energy ripples spread rapidly from Hai Bodong body. Wherever the energy ripples reached, the surrounding ice tables and chairs shattered.

On his aged forehead, a strange, dark blue energy rapidly condensed, and after a moment it formed a small, dark blue energy snake coiled on Hai Bodong's forehead. This was the snake mark, and it was this snake mark that tightly sealed the powerful Dou Qi within Hai Bodong's body!

However, the purple energy of the Po E Dan and this dark blue energy came into contact. The two energies shone with strange light, as if they were fighting for territory. In the end, the Po E Dan still had a restraining effect, squeezing the snake pattern directly out of Hai Bodong's forehead.

Just then, to Xiao Yu's surprise, Medusa, who had been sleeping in his sleeve, suddenly sprang up, opened her small mouth towards the snake pattern, and swallowed it whole with a flick of her tongue.

Medusa then stood upright in mid-air and glanced at Hai Bodong, a hint of confusion flashing in her snake eyes, before she burrowed into Xiao Yu's sleeve and fell asleep again.

Hai Bodong hadn't opened his eyes yet, so naturally he didn't see Medusa. Of course, even if he did, he wouldn't recognize Medusa. The instant the snake pattern left his body, Hai Bodong's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light shot out from his eyes as if it were real. A fierce aura surged out like a lion awakening.

The surrounding ice crystals cracked under this aura. Xiao Yu simply looked at Hai Bodong calmly. Although he had regained his strength as Dou Emperor, Xiao Yu also accepted the system's reward!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for helping Ice Emperor Hai Bodong recover his strength. You are rewarded with Cultivation Boost Card. Cultivation Boost Card can help you maintain your increased strength for one day, ranging from One-Star Dou Emperor to the Peak Dou Zong. Please use them with caution!"

Note: This card has no side effects, please use it with confidence!

Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief. This Cultivation Boost Card was practically a self-defense weapon. Even the lowest level was One-Star Dou Emperor. What was even more terrifying was that this card had no side effects!

Now we can crush those scumbags from the Mo Family Mo Family.

Xiao Yu stood up and looked at Hai Bodong, saying, "Now that Elder Hai has recovered his strength, I'll take my leave. I have other matters to attend to!"

"Wait!" Just as Xiao Yu was about to turn and leave, Hai Bodong's voice rang out from behind him. Xiao Yu frowned slightly, and his Storage Ring flashed with light, revealing a card in his palm. It was a Cultivation Boost Card. As long as Xiao Yu had a thought, even Hai Bodong couldn't stop him!
