The Great Deceiver

Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth lifted as he looked at Hai Bo Dong. Being stared at like this by Xiao Yan, Hai Bo Dong felt a chill run down his spine for some reason.

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "Elder Hai, although the power behind me is strong, it's not specialized in Alchemy. It's true that there are Alchemists of higher grades, but I am the only one with a Strange Flame."

"To be honest, although I can only refine Fourth Grade Pills at the moment, my innate Soul strength is much stronger than ordinary people. My Soul strength has already reached the level of a Fifth Grade Alchemist."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Hai Bo Dong suddenly understood, thinking to himself, No wonder this kid's attacks are so fierce, as if he can see through my movements. His Soul strength is even comparable to that old thing Fa Ma!

Xiao Yan revealed a bright smile and said, "Moreover, I also possess a Strange Flame. The only thing separating me from the level of a Fifth Grade Alchemist is practice with Fifth Grade Pills. In other words, I can reach Fifth Grade if you throw enough money at me."

!!!! Hai Bo Dong's eyes widened. He originally thought that Xiao Yan's combat power was already brave enough, but he didn't expect his Alchemy skills to be even more astonishing! Whose disciple is this! "Elder Hai, I have confidence that I will reach the level of a Sixth Grade Alchemist in a year at the earliest, and three years at the latest. When that time comes, I can refine pills for you."

If the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King were here, he would probably curse Xiao Yan as a great swindler. How could these words sound so familiar?!

But! Xiao Yan's swindling was truly effective every time! Hai Bo Dong really started to think seriously. The main reason was that Strange Flames were too difficult to obtain, and it was even more difficult to find a Sixth Grade Alchemist who possessed a Strange Flame.

Hai Bo Dong had been searching for more than twenty years without finding one. Now, Xiao Yan could be said to be the most promising one in more than twenty years. Once he missed this opportunity, Hai Bo Dong might not live long enough to wait for the next one.

The main thing was that Xiao Yan was still very young and also possessed a Strange Flame. The Sixth Grade Alchemist level, which was difficult for others to reach, might not be too difficult for him.

Xiao Yan's empty promises were becoming more and more skilled. There was no most swindling, only more swindling!

"What do you want?" Hai Bo Dong also understood a little of what Xiao Yan meant. Hai Bo Dong was selling the remnant map at a high price, but Xiao Yan was raising his own value! Both were secretly playing games! "Elder Hai, it's not what I need, but what you can give me." Xiao Yan revealed a fox-like smile.

"Sigh." Hai Bo Dong couldn't help but sigh. He also knew that he must have been taken advantage of by Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan was his only hope to break Medusa's seal.

He was now white-haired and old, and he really couldn't wait too long.

"I'll give you the remaining remnant map."

"Elder Hai, the remnant map in your hand is probably only a small part of the complete map. It's not worth the price without a complete map, right?"

"I am a Five-Star Dou Huang when I recover my strength. If you help me refine pills, I can take action for you once." A Sixth Grade Pill could make a Dou Huang take action once, and the general price was indeed like this.

Xiao Yan still shook his head and said, "Elder Hai, the pill you need is not an ordinary Sixth Grade Pill, but a special pill refined with a Strange Flame. And Elder Hai, you don't know how many stars you will be after you recover your strength. I'm afraid it's not enough."

Hai Bo Dong's face turned red with anger! But he couldn't refute Xiao Yan's words for a while. Sixth Grade Pills were also divided into high and low grades, and Dou Huangs were naturally divided into strong and weak. A Dou Huang who had been sealed for more than twenty years really couldn't be said to be very strong.

"Kid, this is the last thing. If you still don't agree, then forget it. If you can really help me refine pills within a year andrelease Medusa's seal, I will give you half of the Mittel Auction House in the Royal Capital of the Gama Empire. If it exceeds one year, then it doesn't count." Hai Bo Dong directly dropped a bombshell! Hearing this bombshell, even Xiao Yan was stunned! Ice Emperor had such a relationship with the Mittel Auction House?! The Mittel Auction House in the Royal Capital was the headquarters! In Wutan City, countless families wanted to take the Mittel Auction House for themselves, but no one could do it. Not to mention others, Xiao Yan was even tempted when Ya Fei said she would exchange the auction house for a pill formula.

The thing that an Alchemist lacked the most was Alchemy experience. This experience couldn't be obtained through shortcuts. You had to spend time and energy to try refining pills, and refining pills required medicinal herbs, and medicinal herbs were equal to money.

The place with the most medicinal herbs in the entire Gama Empire was the Mittel Auction House. It was said that the assets of the Mittel Auction House were more than the Gama Empire's royal family! Truly rich enough to rival a country.

"No wonder the Mittel Auction House can do so well in the Gama Empire. It turns out that there is a Dou Huang powerhouse behind it." Xiao Yan looked at Hai Bo Dong and finally understood why the Gama Empire's royal family didn't touch the Mittel Auction House, which was so rich that it could rival a country.

With a Dou Huang powerhouse watching, who would dare to move it?

This condition was like a timely rain for Xiao Yan. To reach Fifth Grade or even Sixth Grade, and even to refine a Transformation Pill for the Lion King, he needed a lot of medicinal herbs to support his 'wasteful' spending. And Xiao Yan needed to cultivate, so where would he get so much time to earn money to buy medicinal herbs?

Wasn't this just like a pillow coming when you were sleepy!

In fact, Hai Bo Dong also had a little thought in his mind, which was to set a deadline of one year for Xiao Yan. Hai Bo Dong was betting that Xiao Yan couldn't refine it within a year. After all, the pill in that pill formula was a high-level Sixth Grade Pill, which was not simple at all.

But how could he have imagined that Xiao Yan had a trick up his sleeve!

"How is it?" Hai Bo Dong asked.

Xiao Yan smiled confidently, stretched out his hand and said, "Happy cooperation, Elder Hai."

The two foxes, one old and one young, smiled at each other and shook hands in cooperation. Both of them were making wishful calculations in their hearts!

Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Elder Hai, you know the rules of Alchemists refining pills, right? Prepare your own medicinal herbs."

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Hai Bo Dong froze and said awkwardly, "That... I'm still missing a medicinal herb called Sand Mandala. This medicinal herb is relatively rare and is only found near the desert of the Holy City in the Snake-People Empire."

"Even the Mittel Auction House doesn't have it?"

"No."

Xiao Yan pondered for a while. He originally wanted to say that it wasn't needed, but if he said that, he would not only not be able to get the pill formula and medicinal herbs, but most importantly, Xiao Yan would not be able to buy time for himself.

Unsealing Hai Bo Dong was not a problem, the problem was that if he unsealed him, Hai Bo Dong would recover his Dou Huang strength. How could he guarantee his own safety!

Before he had the ability to protect himself, it was impossible for Xiao Yan to unseal Hai Bo Dong and restore his strength.

Xiao Yan's one year and three years were just to buy time for himself to grow to the point where he could resist a Dou Huang, at least to the point where he could run away.

"I can help you look for it, but," Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, his meaning was obvious.

He wanted more money! "I can give you some information. About half a year ago, Gu He secretly led people into the desert to search for a Strange Flame."

!!!? There's a Strange Flame in the desert! "Did he find it?" Xiao Yan felt it was redundant as soon as he asked. If Gu He had found a Strange Flame, would Hai Bo Dong be so worried?

"That's precisely because he didn't that this information is valuable. Strange Flames are heaven and earth treasures obtained by those with fate. Since you possess a Strange Flame, you might be able to attract each other and find it. Gu He couldn't find it, but you might."

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. He had been tricking Hai Bo Dong, and now Hai Bo Dong was tricking him in return.

If Gu He couldn't find it, that proved this information was false, or the Strange Flame had already been taken by someone else. Even Gu He came up empty-handed, so what could he do?

However, Xiao Yan still agreed in the end, because this was free information. Xiao Yan had no intention of looking for any Sand Mandala. When his strength increased, he would return to remove the seal for Hai Bo Dong and then take the remnant map.

This information was free, so why not take it?

After saying goodbye to Hai Bo Dong, Xiao Yan spread his Amethyst Cloud Wings and flew directly towards Mo City Rock. Looking at the several maps in his hand, there were a few circles marked on them, but nothing else.

Xiao Yan shook his head helplessly. This Hai Bo Dong was too good at tricking people; he was almost as good as him.
