One Earth Core Lotus Platform, eleven Earth Fire Lotus Seeds.
This was Hai Bo Dong's harvest from this trip.
"These lotus seeds are indeed good things. The fire attribute energy contained within them is extremely rich and pure. It's not an exaggeration to call them natural elixirs."
Dou Wang level appraiser Teng Shan made a timely appearance, looking at the eleven Earth Fire Lotus Seeds that had been sorted out.
Immediately, he shook his head with regret.
"Unfortunately, they aren't quite suitable for any of us."
Although he said this, it didn't diminish the value of the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds. If they couldn't use them themselves, they could certainly trade them, it would just be a little more troublesome.
Teng Shan smiled with relief, took out eleven high-quality Mutton Fat Jade Bottles from his Storage Ring, and carefully separated and stored all the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds.
Then, he pushed five of the jade bottles towards Chen Xiao.
"These things are quite valuable and truly novel. I won't decline them. Chen Xiao, according to our previous agreement, we'll split them evenly. This extra one will be given to the girl Qing Lin. She contributed quite a bit tonight and deserves a share."
Seeing the jade bottles pushed in front of her, Qing Lin was overwhelmed with gratitude.
She suddenly realized that ever since she started following Chen Xiao, the people around her seemed to treat her with more respect. The Innkeeper was like this, and now Teng Shan was the same.
They no longer ordered her around and bossed her about like the mercenaries from before.
Feeling a bit unsure, Qing Lin instinctively looked at Chen Xiao.
"Clan Leader Teng Shan's kind intention, accept it."
Chen Xiao smiled and nodded, putting away the five jade bottles in front of him.
With his affirmation, Qing Lin finally accepted.
"Thank you, Young Master, Clan Leader Teng Shan, and Elder Hai."
A well-behaved girl is always more likable. Both Teng Shan and Hai Bo Dong responded with smiles, their attitudes friendly.
After dividing the Earth Fire Lotus Seeds, only the lotus platform remained.
"Chen Xiao, I'll give you this lotus platform too. Without your information, Elder and Teng Shan wouldn't have gotten anything. Tonight was just a trip, and the reward of five lotus seeds is already enough," Hai Bo Dong said.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao didn't refuse.
His wealth had indeed increased significantly after the trip to the Magical Beast Mountain Range, even surpassing the three major families in Wu Tan City.
However, compared to these two wealthy individuals from the Mitre Family, the gap was still vast.
"Then I thank Elder Hai and Clan Leader Teng Shan. Also, there's something else I'd like to ask Elder Hai about. As everyone knows, on this continent, there are some spiritual and rare objects for each attribute, such as the Heavenly Flame that fire attribute individuals dream of, and these Earth Fire Lotus Seeds we obtained, and so on. I wonder about the spiritual and rare objects of the ice attribute..."
"You've asked the right person. Teng Shan can answer your questions. In terms of strength, he might not be outstanding in the Jia Ma Empire, but in terms of knowledge, even I might not surpass him. Let Teng Shan speak first, and if there are any omissions, I'll add a thing or two."
Rarely, Hai Bo Dong actually praised Teng Shan.
The latter smiled slightly, a rare hint of self-satisfaction appearing on his face.
"Then I'll tell you about it."
"There are indeed quite a few ice attribute spiritual and rare objects. Within the Jia Ma Empire alone, there is a type of Ice Spirit Cold Spring."
"This object is deeply loved by Alchemists and can also accelerate the cultivation of ice attribute individuals. Elder Hai used quite a bit of it back then, but the more this thing is used, the less effective it becomes. Moreover, because too much was consumed back then, it's somewhat rare now, but if you inquire carefully, it shouldn't be too difficult to find. If you're interested, you can ask at the Alchemist Guild."
"Next, Purple Spirit Cold Qi."
"Although this is called cold qi, it is actually a very special type of purple profound ice. If compared using the term Heavenly Flame, it can be called a 'Strange Ice' because it has a great restraining effect on Heavenly Flames."
"However, this object is too rare. I've only read about it in ancient texts and haven't seen it in person."
"The third type, Heavenly Cold Qi."
"This is also an extremely cold object and has a restraining effect on Heavenly Flames. If an ice attribute individual can refine it, it can make the power of the ice attribute even stronger. It's not an exaggeration to say that it has undergone a slight mutation."
Chen Xiao listened attentively, nodding slightly in his heart.
He had heard of both the Ice Spirit Cold Spring and the Heavenly Cold Qi.
Gu Te, the brother of the Pill King Gu He, had a collection of Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
After the Medusa Queen obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame, she began preparing for evolution and also collected a considerable amount of Ice Spirit Cold Spring.
As for the Heavenly Cold Qi...
Han Feng, the great filial disciple in the Black-Corner Region, had it.
When Han Feng led people to invade the inner courtyard of Jia Nan Academy, he used this object to severely injure the Fallen Heart Flame, which was ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame list, allowing Xiao Yan to take advantage.
However, Chen Xiao had never heard of Purple Spirit Cold Qi.
"The fourth type, Frost Bloom Spirit Crystal."
"This is a crystal that can only condense in extremely cold places. I don't know much more about it; the ancient texts only have this brief introduction."
"The fifth type, Ice Spirit Jade."
"This is an extremely rare ice attribute spiritual jade. However, it is not used for refining. You only need to wear a piece on your body to increase the cultivation speed of ice attribute techniques. If it is inlaid on a weapon, it can greatly enhance its power."
"These are all the spiritual and rare objects I know of. You and Elder Hai are both ice attribute, so if you have the opportunity to go to a wider world in the future, you can pay more attention."
Teng Shan finished speaking.
It was precisely because the Mitre Family had Hai Bo Dong, this Supreme Elder, that they paid extra attention to this matter.
After all, the stronger Hai Bo Dong was, the more confident the Mitre Family would be.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly in thanks, then looked at Hai Bo Dong, wanting to know if the other party had anything to add.
"This old man knows pretty much only this much. Even the Frost Bloom Spirit Crystal that Teng Shan mentioned, this is the first time I've heard of it."
"However, this old man does understand one principle: everything has its counter. With so many Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, there are definitely many lucky individuals on the continent who can refine them. The things they use to weaken the power of the Heavenly Flames and assist in refining them, while saying 100% is too absolute, at least most of them are good things for us ice attribute users!"
Hai Bo Dong smiled slightly.
This statement was quite similar to Chen Xiao's previous conjecture.
"Has the Jia Ma Empire never produced any ice attribute powerhouses before?"
"No, not a single one. Aside from this old man, the highest reached was only Dou Wang. Otherwise, this old man wouldn't dare to openly call himself the Ice Emperor."
The Jia Ma Empire was still too small. Dou Zong powerhouses were considered peak existences.
It was reasonable for Hai Bo Dong, a Dou Huang level expert, to become the strongest ice attribute user to date.
"Just keep these things in mind. With your talent, deliberately searching for them would be putting the cart before the horse. If the time is right in the future, you will naturally gain something."
Worried that Chen Xiao might get stuck on a problem, Hai Bo Dong kindly reminded him.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly.
Without the foresight in his mind, it would indeed be as Hai Bo Dong said.
But being able to use foresight, he should naturally strive for what he could, so as not to be completely suppressed when encountering enemies who controlled Heavenly Flames in the future.
"Let's go. This matter is concluded, it's time for us to leave."
Coming out of the underground passage, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse outside. There was still some time until dawn.
Hai Bo Dong looked in the direction of Mo City from afar and shook his head slightly.
"Kid, let's part ways here. One day earlier or later makes no difference to this old man. I'm too lazy to make another trip. Although that map store doesn't have anything valuable, it can be considered a place to stay. You and the girl Qing Lin can go back and move in and live there."
Teng Shan was a little surprised by Hai Bo Dong's decision, but he didn't question it, maintaining a hundred percent trust.
Chen Xiao nodded slightly and cupped his fists in farewell.
Qing Lin followed suit, looking adorable.
"Chen Xiao, if you come to the Imperial Capital someday, remember to visit the Mitre Family as a guest. Don't be polite with us."
"At that time, I will definitely come to bother you."
Teng Shan and Hai Bo Dong smiled slightly, then no longer lingered. They spread their Dou Qi wings and flew away under the moonlight.
Chen Xiao watched the two of them until they completely disappeared from sight before retracting his gaze.
