Chapter 78 Planning
The Mittel family’s residence is connected to the headquarters of the Imperial Capital Auction House.

Soon.

Yao Yan and Cai Die met Hai Bodong, who had learned the news in advance and was standing at the door waiting. The moment he saw him, a smile appeared on his stern face, which stunned Teng Shan who was standing next to him. He seldom saw the old guy smile so happily.

Hai Bodong did not suppress his emotions, he greeted them with a smile, and said with a rather enthusiastic smile: “When I heard the news, I knew it was you!”

"I'm not bothering you, am I?"

Yao Yan looked at Hai Bodong, and then his gaze stayed on Teng Shan for a while. The other party's strength was not high, only at the level of a six-star Dou Wang. At his age, if he had no chance in this lifetime, there would be no hope of breaking through to the Dou Huang level. He had already guessed the other party's identity.

The current patriarch of the Mittel family - Tengshan.

The other party is also a very interesting person. In the original novel, he almost sacrificed the entire Mittel family for the Xiao family. For this reason alone, the other party is worthy of being Hai Bodong's friend.

People gather in kind, and things are divided into groups.

This sentence has always made sense. People with different personalities will never become friends, and people who can become true friends mostly have similar personalities.

Hai Bodong smiled cheerfully and said, "How could I bother you? If I had known you would come, I would have definitely greeted you outside the city. I would never have let you come to me on your own."

"There's no need to be so polite between friends."

Yao Yan responded with a smile, then took Caidie and Ling'er and followed Hai Bodong into the courtyard.

Tengshan told the previous few people not to talk nonsense outside, and then followed. He was quite curious about this fifth-grade alchemist who was less than seventeen years old. After all, such a monster had not appeared in the entire Jiama Empire for hundreds of years.

If the Mittel family could establish a relationship with him, the benefits can be imagined!

As she entered the house, Caidie took off her hat, revealing her beautiful face. Her bright eyes looked around curiously, like a princess who had just walked out of the palace.

However, she did not take off the black robe, because Yao Yan told her to dress tightly outside so that others would not see her. She thought about it and agreed, because she did not like being stared at by others and she was not an object of appreciation.

Hai Bodong looked at Yao Yan and said with a smile: "You caused quite a stir in the Monster Mountain Range. Now the entire imperial capital is undercurrent because of this matter, and the turmoil continues."

This incident not only caused a big commotion, but also shook the entire Holy City of Gama. However, based on his understanding of Yao Yan, he estimated that the other party would not care too much.

Just three fighting kings.

"It has nothing to do with us."

Yao Yan denied it directly. He was not a fool. Why would he admit something without any evidence?

Caidie shut her mouth obediently.

Looking at the two people who were getting more and more in sync, Hai Bodong fell silent. At the same time, he also understood what Yao Yan meant. He nodded slightly, skipped over the topic, and asked, "Are you coming to the imperial capital for the Alchemist Conference this time? This event is only a few days away. Even some alchemists near the Jia Ma Empire are rushing here."

"It depends. I'm mainly here to ask you for a favor. I accidentally got a fragment of a map. Can you see if you can search for it in the Jia Ma Empire? It's very important to me."

Yao Yan took out the incomplete map he got in the Shennong Mountains. There was no mark of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire on it. It looked like just a blurry incomplete map and there was no sign of its value at all. However, his tone was very serious.

Hai Bodong took the incomplete map and looked at it for a few seconds. He frowned slightly and said hesitantly: "This picture does not seem to be a map... At least I have never seen similar terrain in the Jia Ma Empire. Are you sure it is in the Jia Ma Empire?"

Born into a killer organization, drawing maps is one of his basic skills. He can naturally see the difference between this incomplete map and an ordinary map. Isn't it in his hands?

Yao Yan was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Sure, help me look for it. There should be clues in the Tagor Desert. If you find them for me, I can give you a gift in the future."

He still trusted Hai Bodong's character. Instead of searching by himself, he might as well let Hai Bodong look for it. If he couldn't find it, he could wait and see!
There are still decades before the Pure Lotus Demon Fire is born, and he can afford to wait.

"it is good!"

Hai Bodong nodded in response, took out the photo stone from the ring, recorded the appearance of the incomplete picture, and then handed the incomplete picture back to Yao Yan. As for the gift Yao Yan mentioned, he did not ask, as some things are better when you have more expectations.

He continued, "It's unlikely that there will be any news on this matter in the short term. You have to be mentally prepared."

"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry."

Yao Yan responded calmly.

Hai Bodong turned around and introduced Yao Yan: "This is the patriarch of the Miter family, Tengshan. He is also a good friend of mine who I have known for many years. If you need anything, you can ask him to help you prepare it."

"It just so happens that I also want to refine some things. I wonder if I can take a look at the Mittel family's warehouse?"

Yao Yan was not polite. He looked at Teng Shan and made a rather excessive request.

Tengshan was not annoyed at all when he heard this. He even smiled. He took out a scroll from his ring and handed it over, saying with a smile, "All the precious things are recorded on it. In addition, there are some rare things. If you need them, I can get them for you."

"Thank you."

Yao Yan took the scroll, thanked him softly, and at the same time swept it with his soul power. Suddenly, a huge amount of information flooded into his mind, making him more confident in his next plan.

If one wants to replace the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, the substitute is very important. It cannot be too fake, and at least it must be able to store soul power. If even this cannot be done, it is estimated that even the Xiao family cannot be deceived. As for whether Gu Yuan will find out after the replacement... one can only bet that Gu Yuan does not care about it at all.

However, judging from the other party's performance in the original work, it was obvious that he had no interest in this ancient jade, and Gu Yuan was indeed a calm person who did not fight or compete. He did not look like a nine-star peak fighting saint at all, let alone a patriarch of an ancient clan.

His previous attempt to kill Xiao Lin was an attempt to see if Gu Yuan was watching him.

Apparently not.

But the next Tushegudi Jade is different.

In the original novel, Gu Yuan came to the Xiao family when Xiao Yan was born. Although he only mentioned it once, this mention put a lot of pressure on Yao Yan.

He knew what it meant to lose a bet.

Let's see first... Yao Yan quickly made up his mind. He has never been a timid person. Now that he has come to this point, how can he be willing not to give it a try? As for the price of failure, the worst that can happen is that he will sell out the Soul Clan and join the Ancient Clan!
Maybe this is also a good way!

Although the risk is high, the return will definitely not be low.

As for loyalty...Yao Yan is only loyal to himself.
