Chapter 37 Returning to Mocheng, Hai Bodong surrenders!
After all, Queen Medusa is only a Douhuang after all. No matter how powerful a Serpent Seal is, can it really stump a seventh-grade alchemist?

The reason why the Evil Breaking Pill was not made by Gu He was simply because of the problem with the strange fire...

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming's mind became clear. He spread his purple cloud wings and returned to the high-end hotel room they had customized in Shimo City. He then played games with Lin Fei, Xue Mei, and his little maid Qing Lin.

At night, there was continuous artillery fire, which frightened Qinglin, a young and inexperienced soldier, so much that he dared not open his eyes...for fear that the bullets would hurt his vital parts.

It was not until the next day that the little maid looked at her master with a rather resentful look, seeming somewhat dissatisfied.

Very good, it seems that Qinglin's mind capture plan is very effective! Xiao Ming nodded and sighed.

Afterwards, he accompanied a few girls to stroll around Shimo City for a while. After tidying up a little, he called Didi and, relying on his identity as a third-grade alchemist, called over a large first-level flying magical beast.

Riding on the back of the flying monster, several people flew back towards Mo City and slowly left the snakeman border city.

There was no other way. Even if Xiao Ming had the Purple Cloud Wings, he could only hold one person at most. Therefore, this was the only way to return. Although the speed was a bit slow, it was safe and stable.

After all, no one would be bold enough to attack an alchemist of noble status in this city in the Tagor Desert.

You have to know that every alchemist has relatives and friends, even the first-grade alchemists are no exception. Without inheritance and teaching, it is impossible for ordinary people to become a distinguished alchemist.

Even Xiao Yan is the same. Without Yao Lao, he might never have embarked on this path in his entire life. Therefore, no one would be so idle and tired of living that he would seek death.

A few days later, Xiao Ming and others got off the back of the flying monster and entered Mo City.

Walking into Hai Bodong's shop, perhaps because it was the wrong time, Xiao Ming did not see any woman in red. After opening the door, he just walked straight to an old man inside and spoke lightly.

"Hai Bodong, why don't you come out and meet me?"

"My dear Xiao Ming, you are back. It seems that you have succeeded..." After feeling Xiao Ming's aura, Hai Bodong was greatly surprised.

What kind of magic medicine did this kid take to suddenly reach the level of Eighth Star Grand Fighter from One Star Grand Fighter... It's only been such a short time since I last saw him, and there has been such a big change. It's really terrifying!

And the aura of strange fire on this kid has become stronger. It seems that this kid has also put the strange fire from the strange fire map that I gave him into his pocket.

Sure enough, how could such a genius not have some secrets? Hai Bodong looked at Xiao Ming with fear, and then he became thoughtful.

Xiao Ming didn't waste any words and went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you. I can't make the Evil Breaking Pill for now, but I have made other pills for you that can remove the seal. There are two kinds in total. Which one do you want?"

"Well, is there any difference between the two?" Seeing that there was no Breaking Evil Pill and Xiao Ming promised to help him break the seal, Hai Bodong didn't care and asked curiously.

"Yes, the sixth-grade medicine Unsealing Pill can help you break the seal, but the effect should only be enough to restore you to the early stage of Douhuang. However, the seventh-grade Breaking Evil Pill can allow you to return to the peak of your strength in one step!"

Xiao Ming slowly began to explain.

"Oh, then I guess there must be a price, right?" Hai Bodong was very tempted and wanted to directly ask for the seventh-grade Evil-Breaking Pill.

After all, this is a direct return to the peak realm! He was a five-star Dou Huang back then, which is great, saving a lot of training time.

But the Unsealing Pill can only help him recover to the Douhuang realm, which is a far cry from the other. But this kid took out these two, he must be tempting him, so Hai Bodong forced himself to calm down.

Xiao Ming was slightly surprised and also sighed.

After all, he was the Ice Emperor of the past. How could he be easily defeated by someone who could break through to the Douhuang level in the Jia Ma Empire?

He chuckled and said lightly.

"If you choose the Unsealing Pill, there is no price. It is still a ten-year agreement. But if you choose the Evil Breaking Pill, you will have to add ten more years, which means you will be my guardian for twenty years!"

Although Xiao Ming felt that he might not need Hai Bodong as his henchman anymore in twenty years, there should be plenty of people to help him look after his house.

But he was not a sand dollar after all, so there was no reason for him to suffer losses in vain, so it was decided to add another ten years and let Hai Bodong be a slave for a few more years.

"This..." Hai Bodong was a little conflicted. He was already very old. If he had to be Xiao Ming's bodyguard for another 20 years, who knows how many years he would have left to live!
But Hai Bodong changed his mind and thought, Xiao Ming, who could easily produce sixth- and seventh-grade elixirs, might be able to help him refine Huangji Pills, Pozong Pills, or something like that in the future?
If he breaks through to Dou Zong, wouldn't that be a huge profit for him?
Thinking from this perspective, Hai Bodong could accept it instantly. So, he also agreed to Xiao Ming's request.

"A word is settled!"

After getting the pills, Hai Bodong went into the underground training room, leaving Xiao Ming and a few others alone in the shop, chatting about various things out of boredom.

While Hai Bodong was refining the elixir and trying to break the seal, Xiao Ming chatted with the girls.

"Lin Fei, Xue Mei, how are you refining the medicine? Have you made any progress?"

"Fortunately, under Ming's guidance, I feel like I have become a true first-grade alchemist. After I become proficient for a while, I can try to refine second-grade pills!"

Xue Mei looked at her lover and said gently.

"Yeah, me too. I feel that if I can accumulate more experience, I can also try the second-grade elixir!" Lin Fei said proudly, stretching her snow-white swan neck.

What is a true first-class alchemist? An alchemist who can skillfully refine various first-class elixirs is not like them before, who can just refine a beginner's fire-condensing pill or something and be considered a true first-class alchemist.

For example, Xiao Ming can also refine the fourth-grade Red Lotus Pill, but he cannot be called a fourth-grade alchemist...

Therefore, there are people specifically responsible for testing in the alchemy industry, and generally only those who can refine most of the conventional elixirs at this stage will be recognized.

"Well, that's not bad. You all just need to practice. By the way, Qinglin, how about you? Do you feel anything special after opening the Green Snake Three Flower Pupils?"

Xiao Ming smiled slightly and asked.

"Well, thank you for your concern, young master. Qinglin feels that his cultivation is improving very quickly!" Qinglin said happily.

It’s not a question of improving strength, but the young master’s concern for her, which proves that he doesn’t just treat her as an ordinary maid, which makes Qinglin very happy.

"That's good. I'll help you find some snake monsters later!"

"Thank you, Master!"
