Fighting with fire shadow

"Mmmmm~"

Nezuko nodded obediently, walked up to Haibodong with two long legs, and reached out to grab his arm.

"Nezuko's abilities are a bit special. Please don't resist, senior."

As soon as Ximen Cheng finished speaking, a pool of blood flowed out of Nezuko's palm, and then turned into a ball of blood-colored flames, surrounding Haibodong.

Looking at these bloody flames that suddenly appeared, Hai Bodong subconsciously wanted to mobilize the fighting spirit in his body to resist. However, when he found that these bloody flames did not cause harm to him, and what Ximen Cheng said just now, he also suppressed it. The urge to fight back.

"Huh? This is..."

Just when Haibodong was confused, he suddenly felt that the seal in his body began to loosen, and the seal energy hidden in his body slowly dissipated under the burning of the blood flames.

Seeing Hai Bodong's surprised expression, Ximen Cheng sighed in his heart: "As expected, Nezuko's vampire technique can be used to break the seal."

Nezuko's blood ghost technique is called "Blood Explosion", which allows her blood to explode at will and produce high-temperature flames to burn the target. Moreover, this blood flame has the special characteristic of "only burning what it wants to burn". It can even directly destroy the effectiveness of the opponent's vampire spells or poisons.

In the anime plot of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", Nezuko once used the vampire technique to help Tanjiro and the others burn away the poison in their bodies.

Therefore, Ximen Cheng guessed that Nezuko's blood ghost technique should also be able to directly burn the sealed energy in Haibodong's body.

It's just that when Nezuko uses the Vampire Technique, she needs to use her own blood as the medium for burning blood flames. Each time she uses it, a large amount of blood will be consumed in her body.

Fortunately, Nezuko had eaten a lot of monster meat during this period and had stored a large amount of flesh and blood energy in her body, which was enough to support the consumption of the vampire technique, otherwise she might have fallen into a deep sleep again.

"not good!"

Haibodong's expression suddenly changed. He struggled to break away from Nezuko's hand and retreated several meters.

Seeing this, Ximen Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Senior, what do you mean?"

"Don't get me wrong, little friend, your sister is indeed very capable, but I don't dare to let her continue."

Haibodong shook his head with a wry smile on his face and said: "If I had just been sealed not long ago, this girl might really be able to help me remove the seal from my body. But I have been sealed for many years, and the fighting spirit in my body has long been entangled with the energy of the seal. Together. If you let this girl continue to burn, even if the seal in my body is lifted, my cultivation level will probably drop to the Dou Ling level."

"(￣ー￣)"

After hearing Hai Bodong's explanation, Ximen Cheng was speechless for a while. He thought for a while and said, "Senior has been living in seclusion near the Tagor Desert these years, presumably to find a way to lift the seal. I think senior must have some clues." ?”

Hai Bodong glanced at the alchemist badge on Ximen Cheng's chest, nodded slightly and said, "You guessed it right. I have indeed collected a special recipe that can break the sealing technique over the years. As long as I can refine the above By recording the broken Edan, I can restore my cultivation.

However, it is not easy to refine this kind of elixir. This kind of elixir is originally a sixth-grade elixir, and it requires the alchemist to have a strange fire to successfully refine it. "

Ximen Cheng raised his sword eyebrows and said: "The refining conditions are really harsh. Looking at the entire Jiama Empire, only Elder Furukawa is a sixth-grade alchemist. It's a pity that he doesn't have strange fire in his hands."

"Don't worry about the strange fire. I have some clues about the strange fire. As long as you can find the strange fire and help me refine Poerdan, our deal will still count."

Ximen Cheng deliberately showed a troubled expression and said: "Senior, do you think too highly of me? Even if I can really find the strange fire, I am only a first-grade alchemist, how can I have the ability to refine a sixth-grade elixir?"

Seeing this, Hai Bodong smiled slyly and said: "You are not capable of refining a sixth-grade elixir, but as the young master of the Yunlan Sect, it shouldn't be difficult to ask Gu He to help you refine a elixir. ?”

Although Hai Bodong has been living in seclusion in Mocheng these years, he has also paid attention to some major events in the Jia Ma Empire, and he has already heard about Ximen Cheng being accepted as a disciple by Yun Yun.

As far as Hai Bodong knew, Ximen Cheng was only 15 years old this year, but he already wore the badge of a first-level alchemist, so Hai Bodong suspected that he must have received guidance from Furukawa in refining medicine.

Compared to dealing with people with deep connections like Furukawa, Haibodong would rather deal with young people like Ximen Cheng, who are just starting out, at least he doesn't have to worry about being cheated.

When Ximen Cheng heard Hai Bodong's words, he immediately understood his true intention and couldn't help laughing and scolding: "You cunning old fox, so you are waiting for me here."

Haibodong directly ignored Ximen Cheng's words, and smiled evilly like an old fox: "Of course, you can also refuse my proposal, but if I go to ask Furukawa for help in person, then the deal between us will be invalid. ”

"Ugh……"

Ximen Cheng rubbed his eyebrows in embarrassment and sighed: "Since you said so, I can only agree to your conditions. Tell me the clues you know about the strange fire!"

When Hai Bodong saw Ximen Cheng agree, the smile on his face became brighter. He reached out and took out a thin piece of parchment from his arms, handed it to him and said, "This map is from the Tagore Desert." On the detailed map, the three places marked with flame patterns are the places where strange fires are most likely to exist."

After Ximen Cheng took the parchment map, he slowly unfolded it and found that it was an extremely detailed map of the Tagore Desert, far from being comparable to ordinary maps.

The map not only marked the specific location of the oasis in the desert, but also marked the distribution locations of the snake tribes in the desert.

"By the way, there is one more thing I need to ask for your help. I have gathered most of the medicinal materials needed to refine Po'erdan, but there is still one missing."

Haibodong touched his beard and said: "This medicinal material is called Sand Mandala. It can only be found in the Tagore Desert. The higher the temperature, the easier it is to find it. Are you looking for the source of the strange fire?" When the time comes, you can help me keep an eye on this medicinal material."

When Ximen Cheng heard this, he glanced at Hai Bodong angrily: "Are you sure you are not kidding me? I have never heard of it. When asking an alchemist to help make medicine, the alchemist has to find it himself. Medicinal.”
