Chapter 148: Meet Hai Bodong Again

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the Green Lotus Core Flame, Xiao Ming did not rush to pick it up directly.

Instead, he took out a small jade knife from his storage ring and aimed at the part of the lotus platform that was connected to the root, and dropped it with his hand.

Immediately, the green lotus that was as perfect as a work of art fell down.

After the lotus left the lotus platform, the green light around it became smaller and smaller.

Seeing the green lotus fall, Xiao Ming's palm rushed to grab it, then let it float and turn in front of him, his gaze swept over it, his face full of astonishment.

'This Green Lotus is truly a treasure; the Green Lotus Core Flame does not have the violent nature of a Heavenly Flame within it.'

'This Green Lotus Core Flame has absorbed so much energy from the earth for so long, it contains enough energy for me to break through to Dou Emperor, and I wonder how many more stars it will allow me to advance after it.'

Exhaling slightly, suppressing the joy in his heart, Xiao Ming held the Green Lotus and beckoned the Two-Headed Flame Spirit Serpent in the distance, then followed it from behind, and hurried back from the route from where they had arrived earlier.

...

"Young Master will be out soon...!" At the entrance of the passageway, Qing Lin looked at the calm surface of the magma lake with a joyful expression.

Plop!

Before Qing Lin's voice finished ringing, the sound of water breaking echoed in the middle of the space.

The three of them rushed to look into the magma, only to see Xiao Ming's figure appear engulfed in flames.

With a flash, Xiao Ming appeared in front of the three, his hand still holding the Green Lotus.

"You're back, Young Master!"

"Is this the Heavenly Flame?"

The gazes of Zi Yan and the other girls were attracted by the Green Lotus in Xiao Ming's hand, especially Xiao Yi Xian, who among the solutions to her physique, one of them required three kinds of Heavenly Flame.

At first, this condition was extremely hard, but now it no longer seemed to be a problem.

All that was needed was a Monster Core of a rank seven 'Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast'.

"This Heavenly Flame is called Green Lotus Core Flame, it is the nineteenth in the Heavenly Flame Ranking, with it, I should be able to break through to Dou Emperor." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

"Congratulations, Young Master!". Qing Lin heard this and hastened to congratulate him.

On the other hand, Zi Yan beside her was a little helpless, thinking that when they first met, Xiao Ming was even shorter than her and his cultivation level was even lower.

It was unexpected that in just a few years, Xiao Ming had grown a lot, it was fine for him to grow taller, but his strength was also superior to hers, and now he was about to break through to the Dou Emperor that she had been longing for.

"Your Excellency the Ice Emperor, I have brought the medicinal material for you, that copy of the remnant map, isn't it time for you to give it to me?"

Seal a Dou Emperor from the other side?

Hai Bodong smiled stiffly at his words, he didn't feel that the other party was lying, rather, he felt that Xiao Ming was warning him with these words.

After thinking about it, Hai Bodong walked towards a side door, only to return a moment later.

In his hand, he held a piece of map.

"Master Xiao Ming, this is the map you need, now, about the pill... hehe." Hai Bodong rubbed his fingers together and smiled nervously.

After receiving the map from Hai Bodong's hand and examining it to make sure it was the real thing, Xiao Ming was satisfied and put it in his storage ring.

"Since I have already promised to help you refine the pill, I naturally won't break my promise. However, this matter will have to be delayed a bit."

Hai Bodong's face froze at his words.

Looking at Hai Bodong whose face stiffened, Xiao Ming pointed at the green lotus in his hand, "I need to devour this Heavenly Flame before I can help you refine it."

At these words, Hai Bodong's face stiffened even more, he could understand an Alchemist devouring a Heavenly Flame, but didn't Xiao Ming already have a Heavenly Flame? How would he devour another one now?

Although he wasn't an Alchemist, Hai Bodong knew that Alchemists couldn't devour two Heavenly Flames.

''Master Xiao Ming, it's dangerous for you to devour two Heavenly Flames".

"It's something different." Xiao Ming shook his head and didn't explain too much.

"You don't have to worry about me exploding and dying and not being able to help you refine the pill, I haven't lived long enough."

Being exposed by Xiao Ming, Hai Bodong smiled embarrassedly.

"Master Xiao Ming is joking, since Master wants to devour Heavenly Flame first, then come with me." When Hai Bodong finished speaking, he walked towards the side door.

Xiao Ming told Zi Yan and the other girls a few words, since their retreat to devour the Heavenly Flame might take a very long time, Xiao Ming had made arrangements for Zi Yan and the other girls a long time ago, now he was just repeating a little to them.

Seeing that Zi Yan and the other girls had everything clear, Xiao Ming carried the green lotus and followed behind Hai BoDong.

Entering through the side door, a corridor appeared, the light in the corridor was slightly dim, he followed Hai Bodong for a distance, then stopped outside a stone room at the back of the corridor.

As he pushed the door of the room, a faint light shone. Inside the room, perhaps due to frequent cleaning, it looked quite clean and tidy, and there was nothing wrong with using it as a place to devour the Heavenly Flame.

"Little brother, is this place okay?" Hai Bodong asked with a smile, and after seeing Xiao Ming nod, then continued, "Since that's the case, then you can retreat here, little brother, during this time, you'll get the peaceful atmosphere you need, and absolutely no one will disturb you."

"Mm." Nodding with a smile, Xiao Ming looked at Hai Bodong who was leaving, and softly closed the door to the room, then examined the chamber with his soul power to make sure there was no danger before walking to the center futon with the Green Lotus in hand and sitting down.
