Upon hearing those words, Ye Chen spoke with calm confidence, "Grand Elder, to tell you the truth, I happen to know a seventh-grade alchemist.
If the materials are fully prepared, it shouldn't be a problem for him to refine the pill you need!"
"You actually know a seventh-grade alchemist?"
Hearing that, Hai Bodong's face showed a flicker of disbelief.
But soon after, he shook his head with a wry smile and sighed softly, "A seventh-grade alchemist is indeed powerful, but the pill I require can only be refined by someone who possesses a Heavenly Flame."
"Grand Elder, the alchemist I mentioned happens to have a Heavenly Flame.
He fits your requirement perfectly!" Ye Chen continued.
"Really?"
"If that's the case, then this is truly great news!"
Upon hearing this, Hai Bodong's face lit up with elation. He let out a hearty laugh.
"To think that after decades of seclusion, I would not only witness a young genius from the Mittel Family with the potential to reach the Dou Ancestor realm, but also receive news that my seal might finally be undone.
Hah, this truly is a blessing!"
"Perhaps even the heavens couldn't bear to see you wasting away here any longer, Grand Elder," Ye Chen said with a faint smile, echoing his excitement.
"Grand Elder, you mentioned earlier that the pill to undo your seal is missing one ingredient.,..the Mandala of Sand.
Is that herb really so difficult to find?" Ye Chen asked.
At those words, Hai Bodong's expression grew serious as he slowly explained, "The Mandala of Sand only grows within the Tagore Desert.
The higher the temperature, the easier it is to locate.
But you see, I cultivate an ice-type technique, and with the Medusa Queen's seal within me, if I step into the depths of the desert, she will immediately sense my presence.
That's why I have never dared to go."
"I see… In that case, allow me to find the Mandala of Sand for you, Grand Elder.
Once I've gathered the herbs, I'll bring them and the recipe to that alchemist so he can refine your pill," Ye Chen said with determination.
"You'll go in my stead?"
"No, it's too dangerous!"
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Hai Bodong frowned and shook his head.
In his eyes, although Ye Chen's cultivation had already reached the high-level Dou Spirit realm, venturing deep into the desert was still perilous.
If something happened to this promising young genius, Hai Bodong would never forgive himself.
"Grand Elder, truth be told, even without this matter, I had already planned to visit the desert.
That seventh-grade alchemist once told me that there might be a Heavenly Flame hidden somewhere within. I wanted to see for myself," Ye Chen explained.
"So that's why you came to such a place...you've also heard the rumor of a Heavenly Flame," Hai Bodong said with a look of realization.
Then, with a mysterious grin, he placed a hand on Ye Chen's shoulder. "In that case, I might have something that will interest you."
"Oh? What is it?" Ye Chen asked curiously.
"I've always had a fondness for mapping terrains.
Once, while exploring the Tagore Desert, I was lucky enough to gather some information related to a Heavenly Flame.
After analyzing those clues, I charted a few potential locations.
Though I can't confirm exactly where the flame lies, I've narrowed down the regions where the likelihood is highest."
Hai Bodong grinned proudly as he pulled a thin piece of parchment from his robe and handed it to Ye Chen.
"According to my findings, there are three places within the Tagore Desert where a Heavenly Flame is most likely to exist."
Taking the parchment, Ye Chen unfolded it and found an incredibly detailed map of the vast desert....far more precise than any map he had ever seen.
Not only were all the known water sources marked clearly, but even the snake-people tribes scattered throughout the dunes were carefully noted.
"Do you see the three flame symbols on the map?" Hai Bodong asked with a smile.
Following his gaze, Ye Chen spotted three distinct flame markings in the east, west, and north regions.
These three spots are where the chance of finding a Heavenly Flame is highest," Hai Bodong said, pointing at them. "Of course, this is only based on my deductions.
I can't guarantee full accuracy, but it's certainly far better than searching aimlessly."
"Indeed. With this map, searching for the Heavenly Flame will be much easier," Ye Chen nodded lightly.
Still, deep down, he knew this map wouldn't help much.....he already remembered that the Heavenly Flame was located beneath the magma a few dozen miles east of Stone Desert City.
"Remember this," Hai Bodong warned, his finger halting at the western flame mark. "If possible, avoid this area. It's near the very heart of the Tagore Desert.
The Medusa Queen can sense any human who enters her domain.
Though your strength is impressive, if you face her directly… you'll have no chance of survival."
