Companionship

The two walked into the shop slowly.Xiao Yibai glanced at it, and finally stopped on an old man behind the counter who was carefully making a map with his head down.

This old man is obviously quite old, but although his head is covered with white hair, the withered palm holding the drawing black pen is still strong and strong.

Xiao Yibai looked at this seemingly ordinary old man with some surprises. Although this old man seemed ordinary, he was undoubtedly the second Douhuang strongman he met.

Maybe you will be curious when you see this, why Xiao Yibai doesn't know that the ordinary old man in front of him is a Dou Huang powerhouse.We mentioned earlier that Xiao Yibai's mental power is actually quite strong. Of course, this is not the main reason. The most important thing is actually because of Ah Yan. Although Ah Yan fell into a deep sleep, Xiao Yibai was still able to Judged for her sake.

In this Jia Ma Empire, the Dou Huang powerhouse can be said to be very rare, but because of Xiao Yan, the two people who others may not see in their entire lives do often meet by chance, Yun Yun is, this old man is also .Thinking of this, Xiao Yibai looked at Xiao Yan thoughtfully again, and then sighed in his heart.

The old man obviously didn't stop his work because of the arrival of the two, and Xiao Yibai and the others naturally wouldn't make a sound to disturb them, so in this shop, it was actually extremely quiet.

Xiao Yibai and Xiao Yan looked at each other, then went to the counter to look at the map, after all, they came here to find an accurate map.

After the two browsed for a while, seeing that the old man hadn't finished the work in hand, Xiao Yan went to a simple and simple wooden frame and began to check casually.

……

"This..." With slightly trembling palms, Xiao Yan carefully picked up a broken picture. Suddenly, Xiao Yan could feel the violent beating of his heart. He swallowed hard, and put the broken and simple picture in his hand. With a touch of ecstasy in his eyes, he carefully scanned the slightly familiar mysterious route on the picture.

Xiao Yibai at the side naturally also noticed this scene, and walked towards Xiao Yan gently.Looking at this incomplete map, Xiao Yibai smiled comprehensibly, and was also happy in his heart. He was naturally familiar with this picture, and it was very similar to the one Xiao Yan found in the cave in the Warcraft Mountains before. It is related to Jinglian demon fire.Yao Lao also speculated that if he collected all the maps, he would be able to find the legendary Heavenly Fire Purifying Lotus Demon Fire.

"Are you going to buy a map of the Great Tagore Desert?" When the two looked at each other, the white old man in the shop finally finished his work, but he still didn't look up, the old voice Plain echoed in the room.

For Xiao Yan, who has practiced and needs to devour different fires to advance his skills, this map undoubtedly has a huge attraction, and the two of them naturally understand this point.And the key to get this residual map is the old man, so when they heard the voice, both of them turned their eyes to it.

The old man's attitude towards them was very flat, but Xiao Yibai could also detect a hint of arrogance from him. He glanced at Xiao Yan and sighed helplessly in his heart. With the old man's arrogance, they wanted to get This map must not be so easy.

When Xiao Yan proposed to buy this map at a high price, the old man refused resolutely, but the fact that Xiao Yan wanted this incomplete map also attracted his attention. With his many years of experience, he naturally knew about this map. It's not simple.

Looking up at Xiao Yan's alchemist robe and the badge of the second-rank alchemist, the old man obviously didn't fluctuate too much, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yibai, a strange meaning flashed in his chaotic eyes, he From this handsome boy, he felt a very special aura, but this aura soon disappeared.

"Little guys, stop thinking about my map. I don't care for money. Get your things and go. Also, don't think about grabbing them. It won't do you any good." The old man waved his hand , indifferently, even though the two of them are a little weird, but to him, this specialness can only be better than nothing.

Hearing the old man's refusal without hesitation, Xiao Yan let out a sigh of relief, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Indeed. In front of a strong man who may have once been a Douhuang level, it is really impossible for us to be strong." Rob." After finishing speaking, Xiao Yan winked at Xiao Yibai, indicating that the latter learned about it from Yao Lao.

Nodding his head, Xiao Yibai just looked at the shocked old man solemnly.

"Who are you?" The old man was naturally very surprised that they could detect his own cultivation, and he no longer hid it. For some reason, the old man's face was a bit unsightly, and a strong fighting spirit was also spread out from it.

……

"Old man, I am bound to get this thing today. Even if you don't agree, that kid will take it away forcibly!" The smile on his face gradually faded, Xiao Yan said helplessly, this pure lotus demon fire is very difficult for him. Speaking of being extremely important, Fen Jue's low starting point has already caused him to have a big gap with people of the same level. If he can't solve this problem in the future, what can he do... Thinking about what Yao Lao said before , Xiao Yan's eyes darkened.

"Mr., maybe we have what you want?" Xiao Yibai frowned and looked at the old man who looked at Xiao Yan with a sarcasm. A Dou Shi said such words, and the old man's behavior was also reasonable. In the midst of this, Xiao Yibai still suddenly felt a little bored in his heart. Every time he saw someone looking down on Xiao Yan, he would feel very uncomfortable, and this time, naturally, was no exception.

"Hehe, it's just you? Even if the old man has lived in seclusion for decades for some reason, no one in the Jia Ma Empire has been able to snatch anything from me." The old man looked at the two teenagers in front of him indifferently, and sneered. They were overreaching, he had been in the Jia Ma Empire for so many years, and no kid had dared to talk to him like that.The old man squinted his eyes, and unconsciously tapped the table with his old hands, revealing a hint of danger.

"You also said that you are in the Jia Ma Empire. You know, there are countless people on this continent who are stronger than you!" After Xiao Yibai finished speaking, he paused and frowned. , He also didn't expect that he would say such a thing without thinking about it.After looking at Xiao Yan's gaze towards him, he turned his gaze and continued to the old man, "Sorry, old man, it's the brat who is being reckless, but can you tell me what you need? Maybe the brat has .”

The old man looked at this handsome young man inexplicably, and he did not continue to tap the table with his fingers. From what the latter said just now, he also had some vague guesses... If his guesses are true, then this person is indeed He can't afford it.Looking at the two teenagers in front of him, the old man suddenly sneered again, patted the hem of his clothes, and stood up slowly. Fighter only.

Inside the shop, the icy air quickly permeated, and the faint mist also lingered in it, completely covering Xiao Yibai and Xiao Yan's sight.

When the icy white mist enveloped the house, both of them felt something bad flashed in their hearts, because they could all sense that the mist made them lose their sense of direction. When the body is behind, it is obvious that my speed has slowed down a lot.

Xiao Yibai glanced around for a while, his heart froze, they were in an extremely passive situation now.Thinking this way, a pale green flame suddenly appeared in Xiao Yibai's pupils. The moment the green flame appeared, Xiao Yibai felt a burning sensation all over his body. Although it looked extremely small and weak, if someone When you get close, you can feel the terrifying heat contained in it.Because of the green flames beating in his pupils, the young man looked a little strange, and his already delicate face looked extremely captivating, but this kind of beauty was indeed unnoticed in this scene.

After feeling that this discomfort dissipated, Xiao Yibai turned his head to look at Xiao Yan, and found the lavender fighting spirit gauze on the latter's body. He breathed a sigh of relief, and began to deal with the old man's attack.

The old man's icicles appeared and disappeared in the mist, which also brought a lot of difficulties to the two of them. It naturally contained extremely powerful fighting energy fluctuations. With a leap of both feet, Xiao Yan once again dodged an icicle. Xiao Yan was a little suspicious Glancing at the old man, the old man obviously didn't use all his strength, as if he just wanted to teach them a lesson. Logically speaking, the old man shouldn't be so restrained, but... Could it be because of what his cousin said.Thinking in this way, Xiao Yan glanced at the young man who was quite capable, his eyes darkened, "It can be said that there are countless people on this continent who are stronger than you." There are people who are stronger than Douhuang... Are there countless people?

Because Xiao and Bai were bound to win the incomplete map, Yao Lao took the action in the end. After a few rounds of fighting, the old man was unexpectedly defeated as a matter of course.

"Old man, you lost. I'm sorry, the things are mine." After clapping his hands, Xiao Yan smiled at the old man.Although the old man only intended to teach them a lesson, Xiao Yan still let Yao Lao beat him forcefully. As for why Yao Lao made such a forceful attack, Xiao Yan also didn't understand the reason why he did so.But fortunately, he also got this residual map, and he was finally one step closer to the road of the strong.

The old man was obviously quite surprised that he was easily defeated by this young man who only had the cultivation of a Dou Shi, but after all, his skills were inferior to others. With so many years of experience, he would naturally not be surprised for too long. After Xiao Yan finished saying this sentence After speaking, the old man looked at Xiao Yibai rather complicatedly, and then continued to say something.

It turned out that the incomplete map in Xiao Yan's hands now is actually only half of the original one, and the other half is still in the hands of the old man.And this old man is the Ice Emperor Haibodong, one of the top ten powerhouses of the Jia Ma Empire. When he came to the Tagore Desert, he got this fragmented map by accident. Queen Sha pursued and killed him, and set a seal, so that he can only use the strength of Dou Ling now.And told Xiao Yibai and Xiao Yan that as long as they can refine the elixir that can lift the seal for him, they will give them the remaining map.It's just that Hai Bodong still lacked a piece of medicinal material, so he exchanged a map with the location where the strange fire might be hidden, and asked Xiao Yibai and Xiao Yan to find the medicinal material for him.

After the three of them reached an agreement, Xiao Yibai and Xiao Yan were also ready to leave, after all, they didn't have enough time.

Under Hai Bodong's half-smile gaze, Xiao Yibai blinked, seeing the mess of the shop due to them, and said embarrassingly: "In that case, let's take our leave first, today the old gentleman I'm so sorry for the mess here."

Looking across the mess in the room, Hai Bodong shook his head indifferently: "Forget it, anyway, my patience to live in seclusion here is about to run out, even if you don't smash this place, I don't think I can do it for long .”

Seeing the backs of the two leaving, Hai Bodong sighed inwardly...

The author has something to say: In fact, according to my setting, Yibai really won’t fight with Haibodong and win in this chapter, because the current Yibai didn’t want to just show his hole cards like this Come out, and, heck, according to my setting, the protagonist becomes stronger because of an opportunity in the future
