Xiao Jian raised a brow, smiling meaningfully.
Hai Bodong's eyes lit up. "Really?"
"I wouldn't lie to Senior Hai. After all, I cultivate your Mystic Ice Art."
Xiao Jian shrugged.
"Heh… judging from your expression, you're after the map? To be honest, I split the map into two perfect halves. One is with you, and the other… heh…"
Hai Bodong grinned.
But Xiao Jian remained calm.
"So Senior Hai wants to trade half a map for a sixth-rank pill? That won't do.
The map is already part of a larger one. Even with your half, it might still be useless.
A sixth-rank pill isn't cheap or overpriced.....yet with only your half, it's unequal."
"Of course not."
Hai Bodong shook his head. "There's also the favor of a Dou Huang."
Xiao Jian remained expressionless.
"Greedy brat!"
Hai Bodong finally realized.
He wanted more.
"You really behave like someone from the Mittel Family!"
Helpless, he retrieved a scroll radiating cold energy.
"This is a high-level Xuan-tier Dou Technique....Mystic Ice Dragon Soar. Its power rivals the Yunlan Sect's Wind Extreme Technique.
Wind Extreme has two forms: Falling Kill and Setting Sun Shatter. You only know Falling Kill.
But Mystic Ice Dragon Soar, if mastered, can rival a low-level Di-tier technique.
However, it's incredibly hard to learn. Even at my peak, I never fully mastered it. Help me, and it's yours."
He offered the scroll.
Hehe, Senior Hai, leave the seal-breaking to me. I, Xiao Jian, won't disappoint you."
Xiao Jian smiled and reached for the scroll.
But Hai Bodong suddenly pulled it back.
"Hm?"
Xiao Jian blinked.
"Ahem, you know the rule.....when asking an alchemist to refine a pill, the requester provides the materials. I've prepared most, but one ingredient is missing.
It's called the Desert Mandala. It grows only in the Tagor Desert. The hotter the area, the easier to find…
But as you know, I practice ice techniques and carry Medusa's seal. If I enter the deep desert, she'll sense me immediately.
Giving you the technique is fine, but since you have wind-attribute Dou Qi, I'm sure you're good at running.
As long as you don't meet a Dou Wang, you'll be fine. So fetching one herb is reasonable, right?"
Hai Bodong coughed lightly.
Xiao Jian shook his head helplessly. "Desert Mandala? Fine. I'll handle it."
Hearing that, Hai Bodong finally smiled and handed him the technique.
"I'll try practicing it over the next few days. Another trump card means more security."
Xiao Jian said happily.
"A few days? That's nowhere near enough to learn this technique."
Hai Bodong frowned.
"Hehe, Senior Hai will see."
Xiao Jian smiled confidently.
Two weeks later, in a barren stretch of desert, Hai Bodong quietly observed a ten-meter-long, faintly translucent black ice dragon circling around Xiao Jian.
A complicated look flickered in his eyes. Was the Profound Ice Dragon Soar truly supposed to be this easy to cultivate?
"Old Hai, try blocking this move of mine!" Xiao Jian called out as he thrust his palm forward
The black ice dragon roared out, tearing across the air toward Hai Bodong.
Hai Bodong let out a helpless sigh and raised his hand. With practiced ease, he summoned an ice dragon of his own.
The two frost beasts collided in midair an instant later, exploding into countless glittering shards.
Ice rained down before melting on the scorching sand, evaporating into thin white mist under the blazing sun.
The destructive force made Xiao Jian nod with satisfaction.
For the moment, Wind's Extreme Falling Strike was still the most powerful single-target technique he possessed.
Profound Ice Dragon Soar had tremendous potential, but before reaching Da Dou Shi, its true might was difficult to unleash.
More importantly, the technique consumed an absurd amount of Dou Qi.
Perhaps only after advancing to Dou Wang or even Dou Huang.....when he could draw upon the ambient energy of heaven and earth.....would he be able to use the technique to its fullest.
Hai Bodong, having experienced Xiao Jian's monstrous talent firsthand, was left in perpetual shock.
In all his years, he had never witnessed such a terrifying genius.
Back in his youth, he too had been extraordinary...challenging Yun Shan with only a Five-Star Dou Huang cultivation, daring to fight Queen Medusa for treasures. He might have been sealed later through carelessness, but his sharp judgment had never failed him.
