When he heard about the effects of the Purple Spirit Recovery Pill, Hai Bodong could not help showing a trace of delight. Although the Pill of Breaking Affliction had lifted Queen Medusa's sealing technique, it had left some lingering effects: his strength was several stars below its peak. Under normal circumstances, recovering his former strength would have been all but impossible without ten years, but with this Purple Spirit Recovery Pill, he could recover in the shortest possible time!
For a while, Hai Bodong's gaze wavered as he wrestled with himself. Xiao Yan said nothing more, sitting quietly in his chair as he waited for Hai Bodong's final answer.
At last, Hai Bodong gritted his teeth and nodded to Xiao Yan. "All right. If you really can refine the Purple Spirit Recovery Pill, then I'll accompany you to the Black-Corner Region!"
"Elder Hai, there's no need to look as though you're marching to your death. The Black-Corner Region may be dangerous, but with your abilities, you could still stir up the wind and waves there." Xiao Yan smiled calmly. "Besides, although I only have the strength of a Dou Wang, if I go all out, I won't lose to a Dou Huang expert."
Hai Bodong did not argue much with Xiao Yan's words. Although he had never seen Xiao Yan unleash his full strength, the young man had escaped Queen Medusa's grasp completely unscathed. His strength was clearly not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
Having agreed to accompany Xiao Yan to the Black-Corner Region, Hai Bodong left the city where he had lived in seclusion for decades with him after resting for a day.
Before leaving, Hai Bodong took one last look at the little shop where he had spent those decades in seclusion and sighed softly.
