Chapter 113 Three Quarters
Just one sentence silenced Medusa.
If one wants to hire a sixth-rank alchemist who can refine the Po Zong Dan, the reward alone would have to be at least tens of millions, not counting the three medicinal materials provided.
That’s it. It depends on whether the other party is willing to buy it. If not, then you have to continue to raise the price.
Medusa has a very high self-esteem and a proud personality. It is impossible for her to humbly try to please others just for a pill.
Therefore, she could only offer a high price, one that the young man in front of her could not refuse.
This might even put the entire snake tribe into trouble.
Medusa said:
"Master, please stay in the Holy City today. I need to think about this matter."
Xu Haoyu looked at the sky which had indeed darkened, so he did not refuse and said:
"Okay, you make the arrangements, and we'll leave tomorrow morning."
Medusa nodded and ordered her attendants to make arrangements to entertain Xu Haoyu and others with the highest level of treatment.
Xu Haoyu, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin stayed in the Holy City for one night. During this night, Medusa was very uneasy and hesitated whether to spend a huge price to ask Xu Haoyu to refine the Po Zong Dan.
On the second day, just as the sky was getting light, a powerful aura erupted from the palace.
That was Hua She'er. After refining the Douling Pill, he broke through to the one-star level of strength in just one night.
Medusa rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and seeing how effective the medicine was, she finally made up her mind. She was already a peak Dou Huang, and as long as the quality of the Po Zong Dan was good enough, she would definitely be able to break through and become a Dou Zong.
As long as he could become a Dou Zong, no matter how much he paid, it would be worth it. Perhaps in the future, he could lead the snake tribe out of the desert. The snake people were not a group that lived in the desert because the temperature here was too high.
Wait until it’s bright!
Medusa found Xu Haoyu again, swung her snake tail and slowly walked forward, revealing a smile and said:
"Master, did you have a good rest last night?"
Xu Haoyu glanced at her and had to admit that this woman was very pretty, and even prettier when she smiled. However, he was only fourteen and could not do anything else. He said calmly:
"Not bad. Since the queen is here, we don't have to make a special trip to say goodbye. We will leave soon. I hope the queen will give orders. If those snake people outside stop us and don't let us go, and there is any conflict, don't blame me for not being gentle with them."
Medusa frowned. She was leaving now. What would happen to her pills? As for forcibly detaining them, that would be offensive. She said directly:
"Master, I would like to ask you to refine the Pozong Pill. I will have people gather the required medicinal materials and payment as soon as possible. Where should I go to find you then?"
Xu Haoyu looked at Medusa. As long as the other party could afford the price, he would refine medicine for her. Although he was rich, he would not think that the money was too much. In the future, when he wanted to become a seventh-grade alchemist, he would have to buy a lot of medicinal materials to practice. In short, being a alchemist was a profession where you could make money and spend money like water.
He thought for a while and said:
"I will be visiting the Jia Ma Empire for a while in the near future. After a few months, I will go to the Luo Yan Empire. If it takes longer, I will go back to my hometown, the Tian Xin Empire. If you want me to make pills, you should gather the herbs and the payment as soon as possible."
Medusa felt a sense of urgency and nodded.
"Well, once I have gathered all the herbs and the reward, I will bring them to see the master in person."
After the discussion, Xu Haoyu, Zi Yan and Qing Lin left the holy city of the snake people without staying for too long.
Medusa stood on the city wall, watching the three people go away. Without turning her head, she said to Hua She'er, who had broken through to one-star strength:
“Hua She’er, send someone to notify the eight clan leaders below to come to the Holy City and bring all the gold and silver treasures of the clan. I need at least one month and at most three months to gather all the medicinal materials and rewards for refining the Po Zong Dan. Only by breaking through to the Dou Zong level can I lead the clan to further development.”
Hua She'er responded very solemnly:
"As you command, Your Majesty the Queen!"
...the other side!
Xu Haoyu has achieved his goals. First, he has subdued the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire, and second, he has obtained the Sand Mandala.
Now, he planned to go back, so he said to Zi Yan and Qing Lin:
"We won't be going back to Shimo City. We'll go directly to Mo City. Do you have any questions?"
Zi Yan and Qing Lin both shook their heads. Although Qing Lin was born in Shimo City, she didn't want to go back to Shimo City and be looked down upon.
After reaching a consensus, Xu Haoyu took out the map, found their location and the direction back to Mocheng, and then set off at full speed.
About half a day later, they returned to the location of Mo City, landed, and the group of three entered the city.
They had been here once before, so this time they found the location of the "ancient map" with ease. Xu Haoyu, Zi Yan, and Qing Lin walked in one after another.
Noticing someone coming in, Hai Bodong looked over and saw Xu Haoyu. He was a little confused. Only a few days had passed, could he have already picked the Sand Mandragora?
But the next moment, Hai Bodong jumped up and looked behind Xu Haoyu with a vigilant look. He sensed the breath of a snake man and suspected that it was Medusa who came to cause trouble for him.
Following Zi Yan and Qing Lin, Hai Bodong walked into the store. He did not see Medusa, and then looked at the unfamiliar Qing Lin. He was a little surprised and doubtful, but not so nervous.
Immediately, he spoke:
"My friend, how come you came back so soon? And who is that little girl?"
When Xu Haoyu saw Hai Bodong like this, he immediately understood that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of the rope for ten years. He ignored it and explained:
"The reason for coming back is, of course, that I have obtained the Sand Mandala. The little girl is Qinglin, and the situation is special. Shopkeeper, please don't ask about it. Let's talk about business..."
As he was talking, Xu Haoyu took out three sand mandalas from his ring and placed them neatly on the counter. Then he looked at Hai Bodong with a smile and said:
"Boss, it's time to hand over the remaining half of the map."
Seeing the Sand Mandala, Hai Bodong was suddenly excited. In this way, he had finally gathered all the herbs to make the Evil-Breaking Pill.
From now on, he won't have to suffer in the desert anymore and can leave here and go to other places. Although it is very difficult to find a sixth-grade alchemist, especially a sixth-grade alchemist who can control the strange fire, it is better than now.
Although he was still reluctant to hand over the incomplete map, there was no better way now.
Hai Bodong turned around and worked behind the counter, opening a secret compartment, taking out a wooden box, then opening the wooden box and finally taking out a torn map.
Placing the incomplete picture in front of the Sand Mandala, Hai Bodong said:
"My friend, this incomplete map is yours."
Xu Haoyu reached out and took it. At the same time, Hai Bodong quickly put away the three Sand Mandalas.
Xu Haoyu glanced at him, and then focused all his attention on the incomplete map in his hand. Yes, this was the incomplete map of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.
At this point, he has collected three quarters of the complete map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.
Readers who have read this, do a survey:
I like Medusa's deduction 1,
If you don't like Medusa, deduct 2.
I'll take a look at the situation and decide what to do next.
