The Stone Desert City at night has a somewhat different scenery when the lanterns are first lit.

Xiao Xue held Qing Lin's hand, and the two of them walked in this small border town.

Although Xiao Xue said that a small place like Shimo City was really not interesting, he still accompanied her to see the entire town.

The only way to relieve worries is to swipe your credit card.

In her previous life, when Xiao Xue was in a bad mood, she would go out shopping with her pocket money.

After coming back, she will be in a much better mood.

There should be no girl who can resist the temptation of going shopping and shopping.

As an alchemist, Xiao Xue is naturally not short of money.

She gave an unused Na ring to Qing Lin, and then took her shopping in the city.

Na Ring's ring is still a little too big for Qing Lin's slender fingers.

So, Xiao Xue made it into a pendant and hung it on Qinglin's neck.

Along the way, Qinglin raised her head frequently, looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar city and the people next to her.

However, when Xiao Xue turned around and looked over, she would subconsciously look away.

She is a person who is as humble as dust. The kindness of others is a kind of luxury to her.

She could only hold Xiao Xue with one hand and hold the tight Na Ring in her other hand.

I just hope that this kind of goodwill can last longer.

———

Half a month later.

Xiao Xue completely refined the Sky Fox Essence and Blood, and as expected reached the level of Nine-Star Great Fighter.

On the other side, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li have basically finished handling their properties in Shimo City.

Those that were inconvenient to take away were all replaced with medicinal materials, and Xiao Xue refined them into elixirs that were easy to carry.

Among them, there are many third-grade and very few fourth-grade elixirs.

However, Xiao Xue's success rate in refining medicine is still controlled at over 98%.

Therefore, everyone in the Motie Mercenary Group had a rough guess about Xiao Xue's alchemy skills, and they also treated her with more respect.

Because there is an alchemist who can refine fourth-grade elixirs, when Xiao Ding and Xiao Li proposed to leave Shimo City, they did not hear any objections.

In particular, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li still plan to go to Jia Ma Imperial Capital, and those mercenaries will not miss this opportunity.

If you follow an alchemist of at least the fourth grade, you don't have to worry about not being able to survive in the imperial capital.

Being able to develop in the imperial capital is much more promising than in a small place like Stone Desert City.

As a result, a team of more than a hundred people was quickly formed.

Among them, there is a Nine-Star Great Fighter, two Fighters, and several Fighter-level mercenaries.

Logically speaking, you can set off directly to the imperial capital now.

However, Xiao Xue, who was a Hanxia person in her previous life, also had a habit that most Hanxia people had:

——Everyone has come.

In an underground passage outside Stone Desert City, there is Qinglian Earth Core Fire, which ranks 19th on the Strange Fire List.

At this time, it should not have been taken away by Medusa.

However, Xiao Xue has no interest in strange fire.

If she had to create some kind of strange fire, maybe Hai Xinyan could give her a little incentive.

However, in Mocheng City next door to Stone Desert City, there is a peak player who has been out of the league for many years.

Anyway, it's in the small town next door, and it won't take long to go back and forth. Xiao Xue plans to go there.

By the way, get the second fragment of the Pure Lotus Demonic Fire.

After saying hello to Xiao Ding and Xiao Li and asking them to wait for a few days, Xiao Xue went to Mocheng next to Shimocheng alone.

———

Since this time, he wanted to recruit a former Dou Huang, so Xiao Xue directly wore the fifth-grade alchemist badge and flew into the desert city.

After casually dragging someone to ask for directions, Xiao Xue walked leisurely to the city's map shop amid the eyes of respect, envy, admiration, and longing.

After walking leisurely for a long time, the map shop named "Gutu" appeared in Xiao Xue's sight.

This shop is worthy of its name, and it looks vaguely quaint.

After sensing that there was indeed an ice-type fighting spirit with a strange aura in the store, Xiao Xue smiled and stepped straight into the map store.

The interior of the store is not too spacious, and the two moonstones emit a faint light, illuminating the store quite brightly.

Xiao Xue's eyes swept across the interior of the store. There were not many people inside to buy maps, and it seemed a bit deserted.

Behind the counter, there is an old man sitting with his head bowed and carefully making a map.

This old man is obviously quite old, but although he has white hair, the dry palm holding the black drawing pen is still steady and strong.

Xiao Xue followed her usual practice and threw a [Detection] over.

Name:Hai Bodong

Race: Human race

Gender: Male

Level: Level 43 (Level 65)

HP:4300/4300

Fighting value: 4300/4300

Soul Power: Late Mortal Realm

Qualification:7

Chance:9

Charm:8

Comprehensive summary of the character panel:

[A refreshing little old man]

Xiao Xue: "..."

You can make a comprehensive summary.

[Qualification 7] means that Haibodong’s life will come to an end when he reaches Douzong.

However, his [Opportunity] reached an astonishing 9 points.

It is estimated that his opportunity was brought to him by her cheap brother.

Other customers in the store immediately greeted Xiao Xue respectfully after seeing the fifth-grade alchemist badge on her chest.

"Hello, sir!"

Xiao Xue nodded in response, then casually walked to a simple wooden frame and started rummaging around.

After Haibodong heard the movement here, he raised his head from behind the counter and glanced indifferently.

Then, he glanced at the alchemist badge with five lines.

Haibodong's hand couldn't help but tremble, and the map he was drawing was instantly invalidated.

But he didn't care at all, but looked at Xiao Xue closely.

As an ice attribute Dou Qi practitioner, Hai Bodong is also relatively sensitive to Fire attribute Dou Qi.

However, according to his perception, Xiao Xue is not a fire attribute at all, but a water attribute that is very close to his ice attribute!

A water attribute...a fifth-grade alchemist?!

Hai Bodong felt that during the decades he had lived in seclusion, he had fallen out of touch with the times.

Shouldn’t the alchemist have fire and wood attributes?

After hesitating for a moment, Hai Bodong spoke first, "Do you want to buy a map of the Tagor Desert?"

At this time, Xiao Xue also found what she wanted - half of the second fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire.

After Hai Bodong obtained the second fragment of the drawing, he divided it into two pieces based on his many years of drawing experience.

One of them, together with a bunch of defective maps, was placed on a wooden shelf in this corner.

Xiao Xue raised the fragmented map in her hand, looked at Haibodong, and said with a smile, "There is no need for the desert map, but I am somewhat interested in this kind of map fragment."

Listening to Xiao Xue's words, Hai Bodong's palms trembled unnoticeably.

His gaze swept over the broken map in Xiao Xue's hand, but there was an inexplicable meaning in his muddy old eyes.

"You...recognize this broken picture?"

Back then, he was hunted down by Queen Medusa because of this broken picture.

It can be seen that there is definitely a big secret in this residual picture.

Xiao Xue smiled slightly, "Yes, I know this residual picture."

"However, I dare say that you..."
Chapter completed!
