Carefully placing the map fragment into an exquisite box and then putting it into her storage ring, Xiao Xue let out a slight sigh of relief in her heart.
After many twists and turns, this map fragment was finally in her hands.
"Old Mister Hai, now that your strength has been restored, I assume you won't be staying here to continue being a shop owner?"
Xiao Xue suddenly smiled at Hai Bodong with her hands tucked into her sleeves.
"Hehe, I stayed here originally mainly to study the map fragment and find a way to break the Seal."
"Now that the Seal is broken, there is naturally no reason to stay here any longer."
Hai Bodong glanced at the smiling Xiao Xue and couldn't help but ask, "Girl Xue, do you have something on your mind?"
Xiao Xue smiled slightly. "I wonder if Old Mister Hai has heard of the spirit revival purple pill?"
With a flick of her finger, Xiao Xue took out a Pill Formula scroll from her storage ring and tossed it to Hai Bodong.
"Hmm?" Hai Bodong caught the scroll and slowly opened it.
The four large words "spirit revival purple pill" appeared before his eyes.
The Pill Formula was divided into two parts; one part was an introduction that anyone could see.
The other part was the detailed explanation of the Pill Formula.
This was imprinted inside the Pill Formula by the creator using Soul Power, and it required Soul Power to view.
Furthermore, the more times it was viewed, the blurrier the Soul imprint would become until it eventually disappeared entirely.
[fifth-grade pill, spirit revival purple pill. Effect: Capable of completely restoring strength that has declined due to Seals or internal injuries.]
"!!!"
Hai Bodong was startled and looked at Xiao Xue.
What do you mean?! Are you baiting me?!
"Girl Xue, what is the meaning of this?" Hai Bodong narrowed his eyes and asked the smiling Xiao Xue.
She wasn't saying this for no reason!
"I believe that in the future, Old Mister Hai might owe me even more favors," Xiao Xue said with a light smile.
"For no other reason than the fact that I am an Alchemist, and moreover, an Alchemist capable of refining a sixth-grade pill."
Xiao Xue smiled like a cunning fox. "Old Mister Hai's current strength should be far below your Peak period, right?"
"This Junior just happened to have obtained a Pill Formula for the spirit revival purple pill, which can solve Old Mister Hai's current trouble."
Hai Bodong looked at the spirit revival purple pill formula in his hand, his brow furrowing slightly.
"Girl Xue, don't beat around the bush with me. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
"As long as it is within my power, I will not refuse."
Xiao Xue nodded in satisfaction. "Since Old Mister Hai is so straightforward, this Junior won't keep you in suspense either."
"This Junior hopes that for the next two years, Old Mister Hai can look after the Xiao Family."
Both she and Xiao Yan would be leaving the Xiao Family for a short time; having a Dou Huang standing guard would put her mind at ease.
Moreover, as long as Hai Bodong agreed, the Mittel Family would essentially be tied to the Xiao name.
With the economic support of the Mittel Family, the Xiao Family could have better development.
Regarding Xiao Xue's request, Hai Bodong thought for a moment and then agreed.
It was only two years, and he had already recovered his Dou Huang strength; he could afford to wait two years.
After all, if he were to recover on his own, let alone two years, he might not even recover in twenty.
Besides, he currently still owed Xiao Xue a favor.
Early the next morning, Hai Bodong followed Xiao Xue and directly left the city.
Hai Bodong did not take any of the items from the small shop where he had stayed for decades.
As he said, perhaps one day in the future, when he grew tired of conflict, he might return here to spend the rest of his days in complete peace.
Standing atop a high sand dune, Hai Bodong looked back one last time at the giant city situated on the edge where the desert met the land. He let out a soft sigh, his expression slightly lonely.
Decades of living in seclusion had caused his indifferent nature to develop some feelings for this place.
Slowly turning around, Hai Bodong looked toward Xiao Xue. "Where to next?"
Xiao Xue smiled slightly. "Gama Emperor City."
———
The two of them flew for several days before arriving at Gama Emperor City.
Along the way, Hai Bodong was shocked several times by Xiao Xue's performance.
"Girl Xue, are you really a Dou Ling?"
