Chapter 20 Strange Fire Information
"Don't call me the Ice Emperor. I was defeated so thoroughly by a junior. I don't deserve the title of Ice Emperor. Just call me Hai Bodong." Hai Bodong waved his hand and said helplessly.

"Ice Emperor, you are too polite. In this world, those who are better than me at the same level must be strong, and those who are defeated by me are not necessarily weak. It's just because I am the strongest among the strong. There will be many strong people defeated by me in the future, so you don't have to give up on yourself. Since you don't want me to call you Ice Emperor, I will call you Hai Lao from now on!" Looking at the somewhat discouraged Hai Bodong, Lin Yuan comforted him.

Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong glanced at Lin Yuan, then at the young man in front of him. His expression remained calm, but his gentle words exuded a different kind of sharpness. The confidence that came from the bottom of his heart had a mysterious and convincing power, which calmed Hai Bodong's somewhat discouraged heart.

"So what do you need me to do? Or what do you plan to do with me?" Hai Bodong asked.

"Dispose? You're worrying too much, Hai Lao. I've said that we are in a cooperative relationship. As a sign of sincerity, I will first completely lift the seal I set." Lin Yuan said with a smile, and as he spoke, he made a few seals with his hands in front of him. A green light flew from his fingertips into Hai Bodong's body, and then a small dragon-shaped fire spirit flew out of Hai Bodong's body and landed on Lin Yuan's fingertips. Lin Yuan snapped his fingers, and the dragon-shaped fire spirit slowly dissipated in the air.

Seeing the fire spirit dissipate, Hai Bodong sensed his own condition. After realizing that the special power emitting special pressure in his body had really disappeared, he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to experience the feeling of being sealed again.

After removing the seal, Lin Yuan looked at Hai Bodong and said with a smile: "How is it? My sincerity is enough, Hai Lao may not feel it now, but I believe you will find out in the future that meeting me is your greatest opportunity."

"The greatest opportunity? I hope so." Hai Bodong looked at Lin Yuan deeply, and his tone became much softer after being defeated.

"Can you tell me how you fell from Dou Huang to Dou Ling?" Seeing Hai Bodong calm down, Lin Yuan asked with pretended curiosity. A cunning flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes. He knew that Hai Bodong's strength fell because he participated in the competition for the incomplete map and was sealed by Queen Medusa. He wanted to use this question to test Hai Bodong and see how his operation turned out.

"Is it the reason for the decline in strength? That's because of the seal by Queen Medusa." When talking about Queen Medusa, Hai Bodong's eyes were a little more trembling, and his psychological trauma was very serious.

"After attending the Inter-Empire Powerful Conference, I came to the Tagor Desert. I accidentally got the fragment of the map, which was the fragment you took from me. However, it attracted Queen Medusa, and I was defeated by her in the battle. Although I took the opportunity to escape, I was hit by her snake seal spell. Not only did my body age rapidly, but even my strength was sealed at the Douling level."

"It is indeed a thrilling encounter." Lin Yuan echoed and nodded secretly. It seems that this operation of combining kindness and force was not in vain. Hai Bodong was also trustworthy, so there would be fewer concerns in the future.

"The seal of Queen Medusa? Interesting. I am also quite particular about seals. The previous sealing technique was created by myself. If you don't mind, let me see if there is anything I can help with." Lin Yuan made a suggestion to Hai Bodong.

"Well, thank you for your help." Hai Bodong said calmly, but he was extremely shocked. As a person who was hit by the Ancient Dragon Spirit Seal, he could feel that the seal was very unusual. He didn't expect that it was created by the young man in front of him. This person is not only powerful in combat, but also outstanding in the research of fighting skills? He felt a little more expectant.

"Well, let's get started without further ado. Please sit cross-legged and don't resist my investigation." Lin Yuan made a gesture in his mind that his plan was going through, and as he spoke, he walked behind Hai Bodong, ready to study Queen Medusa's Snake Sealing Spell.

Hai Bodong sat down as he was told without resistance. This was the awareness of a loser. He could not think of any reason why Lin Yuan would do something bad to him. After all, his strength and life were just returned to him by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan placed his hand on Hai Bodong's back, first releasing his soul perception to detect the seal in Hai Bodong's body, then using his fighting spirit to test the snake's sealing spell, and also using his own fighting spirit to let Hai Bodong cooperate in doing various tests, gaining a lot.

"I see. This is how the Snake Sealing Spell works."

"The seal has been able to last for so many years, how is the energy replenished? I see."

"The way to resist interference is"

"Hmm? This aspect is somewhat similar to my Ancient Dragon Town Spirit Seal."

"This rune is"

"This method of utilizing bloodline spirituality and coercion is quite clever."

"These can be used as reference to improve the Ancient Dragon Town Spirit Seal."

A few hours later, Lin Yuan finished sealing the snake and fell into deep thought.

Hai Bodong was looking at Lin Yuan expectantly. During the test just now, he was sure that the young man in front of him was really good at sealing techniques.

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

Lin Yuan replied, "I can't remove this seal for now." After Hai Bodong showed a look of disappointment, Lin Yuan added, "But I can weaken this seal so that it won't be so tight on you, so that Hai Lao's strength can be restored to the Dou Wang level." Hai Bodong was overjoyed when he heard this, and said in surprise, "I'm very satisfied if I can be restored to the Dou Wang level. At least I can fly freely in the sky by myself. I haven't had the feeling of flying freely in the sky for decades. I miss it just thinking about it."

"However, I still have some preparations to make to weaken the seal, and there are also some urgent matters to deal with. I can only wait until the next time we meet. Speaking of which, I may need Hai Lao's help with my urgent matters." Lin Yuan looked at Hai Bodong meaningfully.

"Oh, is there anything I can do?" Seeing some hope of breaking the seal, Hai Bodong also became active.

"My elders told me that there is a strange fire in the Tagor Desert, and asked me to come here to find the strange fire and subdue it, because it will be very helpful for my alchemy. Hai Lao has been in the Tagor Desert for so many years, do you have any clues about the strange fire?" Lin Yuan looked at Hai Bodong and asked.

"Elder? He was able to cultivate such a monstrous person, and he even knew about the strange fire here. The power behind this kid is quite extraordinary! It seems that cooperating with this kid may indeed be a great opportunity." Thinking of this, Hai Bodong made a decision in his heart.

"I do know something about the strange fire." Hai Bodong took out a thin piece of parchment from his ring and unfolded it. This was a very detailed map of the Tagor Desert. It not only accurately marked the locations of water sources in the desert, but also carefully marked the snake tribes scattered in the desert. In the east, west and north directions of the map, there were very conspicuous flames.

Hai Bodong looked at Lin Yuan and smiled, "According to my detection, these three places with flame marks in the Tagor Desert are the most likely to have strange fire. I personally suggest going to the two places with flame marks in the east and north first. The 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 took the map and looked at Hai Bodong deeply: "It seems that Hai Lao has recognized our cooperation from the bottom of his heart. This is very good. Believe me, you will be happy with today's decision in the future."

"I hope so too. Since you are an alchemist, can you tell me what rank you are?" After making up his mind to cooperate, Hai Bodong began to speak openly.

"Sixth grade. Although I haven't been tested, it is not very difficult for me to refine sixth grade pills. If I can find the strange fire this time, my success rate in refining pills will also be greatly improved." Lin Yuan answered simply.

"Sixth grade? How powerful must the force be to cultivate such a young Dou Wang and a sixth-grade alchemist? Could it be the legendary Dan Tower? It seems that I may have really hit the mark this time." Hai Bodong analyzed and thought in his mind, and at the same time, he became more and more convinced of his guess that Lin Yuan came from a powerful force in Zhongzhou.

“Then I will give you another gift. This is a sixth-grade elixir recipe that I have obtained in recent years that can break the seal. It requires strange fire to be refined. Just consider it as an advance gift to congratulate you on taming the strange fire.” He took out a scroll from the ring and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Seeing Hai Bodong being so willing, Lin Yuan was ready to return the favor and promised, "If you can successfully subdue the strange fire this time, I will help you refine this pill. How are the herbs prepared?"

Hai Bodong heard this and said awkwardly: "I have gathered all the herbs needed for the prescription, except for a sand mandala, which can only be found in the Tagor Desert. I have a seal from Queen Medusa in my body. As long as I step into the depths of the Tagor Desert, she will notice me... So..."

"So you want me to help you get that medicinal ingredient? This doesn't conform to the rules of alchemy." Lin Yuan glanced at Hai Bodong and said lightly.

"I know, but as long as I can refine the elixir mentioned above, I can recover my strength, which will also be beneficial to our cooperation. After all, there is a difference between the roles that the strong and the weak can play. At the same time, if I can recover my strength, I can let the Mitel family, one of the three major families of the Gama Empire, work for you." Hai Bodong looked at Lin Yuan steadily. He was determined to invest all his capital.

"The Mittel family, well, it may be useful later. Since you are so sincere, I promise. I will get the Sand Mandala for you." Seeing that the goal was completely achieved, Hai Bodong completely believed his words and got into his car. Lin Yuan was also willing to show some goodwill.

"Thank you very much." Seeing that Lin Yuan agreed to the task, Hai Bodong felt relieved.

"After so many years of preparation, I finally see hope. I just hope I didn't make the wrong choice this time."

"Hai Bodong is such an excellent investor."

The two people under the night sky had different thoughts.

"Then Hai Lao, I'll say goodbye now. I'll come back in half a year and help you break some of the seals or refine pills to break the seals."

"Goodbye, I will wait for you in the city."

After the two said goodbye, Lin Yuan flew into the sky and flew towards Shimo City like a stream of green light.

"Next stop, Shimo City, Qinglin"
