Devouring Seal
!!!!!
Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong abruptly stood up, a fierce glint in his eyes, staring intently at Xiao Yan, as if trying to discern the truth from Xiao Yan's expression.
"Elder Hai, don't get excited. Sit down and have a drink first," Xiao Yan said calmly with a faint smile.
Hai Bo Dong took a deep breath, calming himself down, and asked, "Is what you're saying true?"
Xiao Yan took out the Sand Mandala from his Storage Ring and placed it on the table, saying, "It's true. When I infiltrated the Holy City to help you find the Sand Mandala, I entered the treasury of the Snake-People Empire."
Hai Bo Dong's eyes widened. Entered the treasury of the Snake-People Empire?! Was the treasury so easy to enter?!
"In the treasury, I discovered a Scroll about a sealing technique used by Medusa, I gave the Scroll to my elders to examine, and they eventually analyzed a method to reverse engineer the seal," Xiao Yan said very calmly, telling a half-truth.
Hai Bo Dong frowned, pondering whether what Xiao Yan said was true or false.
"But Elder Hai, this method was painstakingly researched by my clan's elders. And while it's true that using this method can help you break the seal, that Sixth Grade Pill Formula and the medicinal herbs..." Xiao Yan smiled slightly, his eyes almost squinting into those of a sly fox.
How could Hai Bo Dong not understand the hidden meaning in those words?
"The Pill Formula and medicinal herbs were originally meant to undo the seal. If you can help me break Medusa's seal, I can give you the Pill Formula and medicinal herbs," Hai Bo Dong said with a helpless shake of his head and a wry smile, taking out a pile of medicinal ingredients from his Storage Ring. In his hand, he held a piece of yellowed, ancient parchment. The heartache on his face was not feigned. He had put in so much effort for this Pill Formula.
After all, this was a Sixth Grade Pill Formula, and giving it away was a bit painful.
Xiao Yan maintained a warm smile on his face, feeling secretly delighted in his heart. Even in the mysterious Storage Ring, Pill Formulas that could break seals were very rare. Being able to snag a Pill Formula for refining a Sixth Grade Pill along the way was naturally a wonderful thing.
"Of course, I think Elder Hai should still remember the bet you made with me back then. If I could break the seal within a year, you would give me half of the Mittel Auction House, right?" Xiao Yan said with a smile, not rushing to take the Pill Formula.
Hai Bo Dong's eyelids twitched violently. He had originally intended to use the agreement of refining a pill to brush it off, but Xiao Yan directly asked about it.
"I... I remember." These two words were almost squeezed out from between Hai Bo Dong's teeth, showing the struggle in Hai Bo Dong's heart.
Hearing Hai Bo Dong's agreement, Xiao Yan smiled even more brightly as he took the ancient Pill Formula that Hai Bo Dong handed over. The smile on Xiao Yan's face became even more radiant at this moment.
"Do you really have a way to help me break the seal?" Hai Bo Dong asked for the second time.
"The Snake-People Race is inherently cold, and the Medusa Queen is even more so. Her seal is extremely cold, and to break Medusa's seal, you need to use a Strange Flame to enter the body and counteract the cold energy in the seal," Xiao Yan said without blushing or skipping a beat.
"Strange Flame?!"
Xiao Yan spread out his hand, and a ball of azure flame appeared in Xiao Yan's palm: "It just so happens that the Medusa Queen generously gave me a Strange Flame."
Hai Bo Dong couldn't help but fall silent. Letting a Strange Flame enter the body to undo the seal was an extremely dangerous thing. If not controlled properly, it could cause irreparable damage.
Xiao Yan saw Hai Bo Dong's worries and directly took out the Pill Furnace from his Storage Ring. In front of Hai Bo Dong, he used the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame to refine an ordinary Fourth Grade Pill.
Xiao Yan's control over the flame could be described as perfect. The originally manic Strange Flame had become extremely obedient due to the *Burning Art*, completely controlled by Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan, who possessed the *Burning Art*, could be said to be the person on the Dou Qi Continent with the most perfect control over Strange Flames.
With a poof sound, three Great Reviving Blood Pills were placed into a Pill Bottle by Xiao Yan.
"Elder Hai, is my flame control alright?" Xiao Yan smiled slightly, putting the Pill Furnace into his Storage Ring.
Not to mention Hai Bo Dong, even Hun Xuzi had praised Xiao Yan's talent for refining pills back then. Seeing such flame control ability, Hai Bo Dong had already half believed it in his heart.
"Good! If you can really help me break the seal, I, Hai Bo Dong, will definitely remember it in my heart and treat you with sincerity!" Hai Bo Dong gritted his teeth. He really didn't want to continue being sealed.
Twenty years! Do you know how these twenty years have been?! Xiao Yan was secretly delighted in his heart. Although the method he said was fake, he did have a way to break the seal. It was just that Xiao Yan didn't want to reveal the ability of the Void Swallowing Flame.
Hai Bo Dong led Xiao Yan to a secret room and said, "No one will disturb us here."
"Then let's begin."
Xiao Yan lightly patted Hai Bo Dong's shoulder with his left hand, and an azure light flashed, instantly burning Hai Bo Dong's clothes into nothingness.
"Elder Hai, bear with the pain."
Soul power slowly probed out of the body, and then with a thought, Mao Wu emerged from the Soul Collection, its body shrinking to one-tenth the size of a fingernail and jumping onto Xiao Yan's finger.
With a poof sound, Xiao Yan's finger pierced into Hai Bo Dong's body, sending Mao Wu into the location of the seal.
Medusa's seal was even more ruthless than the Amethyst Crystal Winged Lion King's, almost sealing all the acupoints in Hai Bo Dong's body. Moreover, Medusa's poison seal had even coated the meridians with a layer of poison.
To break this kind of seal, it was necessary not only to devour the seal but also to devour the poisonous layer of the meridians, without harming the meridians.
If Xiao Yan was still the Xiao Yan who met Yun Yun in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, then the success rate would not exceed 50%.
But now, not only has Xiao Yan's soul power improved significantly, but more importantly, Mao Wu has become stronger.
Under Xiao Yan's control, the shrunken Mao Wu fiercely devoured the layers of poison within the meridians. It could even devour the highly toxic Void Swallowing Flame.
As Mao Wu continuously traversed his entire body's meridians, and the Black Flame continued to burn and devour, Hai Bo Dong could clearly feel his body becoming lighter.
That smooth feeling returned once again! As time quietly passed, Hai Bo Dong's aura gradually increased. Even though Hai Bo Dong's entire body was soaked with sweat, it was still difficult to conceal the excited smile on his face.
"Just a little bit more... just a little bit more!"
His eyes narrowed, and a snake纹 suddenly counterattacked. Xiao Yan's Soul Body instantly emerged, and he fiercely struck out with a palm. The Void Swallowing Flame instantly filled Hai Bo Dong's entire body, like a fierce tiger swallowing a venomous snake in one bite.
At the instant the snake纹 was eliminated, Hai Bo Dong's tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open. A beam of light, as substantial as a physical object, burst out from his pupils, and the power that had been deeply suppressed within his body for nearly several decades surged out.
The walls around the secret room actually began to crack.
Feeling this Dou Huang's power, Xiao Yan hurriedly retreated.
"This damned seal has finally disappeared! This old man has become a Dou Huang again!!!" Hai Bo Dong's face was filled with ecstasy as he raised his head and laughed wildly.
After a while, Hai Bo Dong turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, who was calmly sitting on the chair to the side, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he was plotting something.
Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at Hai Bo Dong in the air, revealing an extremely confident smile, as if Hai Bo Dong was not a threat to him at all.
"What's wrong, Old Hai? Is there any discomfort in your body?" Xiao Yan slowly took out the Soul Token from his Storage Ring and gently placed it on the table.
