Hai Bodong was moved.
He is indifferent to everything except the Breaking Adversity Pill, which is what he has been pursuing for so many years.
However, over the years, not to mention that the materials for refining the Breaking Adversity Pill are difficult to find, there are almost no alchemists in the entire Jia Ma Empire who can refine it.
Hai Bodong was almost in despair.
But now, the hope to go back to his peak is placed in front of him!
"What do you think? I think it's hard for you not to be tempted by this reward." Jiang Ping said with a smile.
Hai Bodong's expression softened a little, and he became a little hesitant.
The Breaking Adversity Pill was indeed what he wanted most at this moment, but Jiang Ping's conditions also made him concerned.
After thinking for a moment, Hai Bodong said:
"Then you must tell me the truth first. What are you going to do in the snake people's territory? That way I can decide whether to agree to your request or not."
There is an extremely terrifying existence in the snake people's territory—Queen Medusa!
Even Hai Bodong suffered a great loss at her hands during his peak period, let alone now.
If he accidentally provoked Queen Medusa, he would have to think twice before doing so even if the reward was Breaking Adversity Pill.
Jiang Ping nodded and said, "Then I'll tell you the truth. I'm looking for a Heavenly Flame. You've been here for so many years, so you must have heard that there are traces of a Heavenly Flame in the desert recently, right?"
"Do you suspect that there is a Heavenly Flame is in the territory of the snake people?" Hai Bodong frowned.
"It's not a doubt, it's certain. And the Heavenly Flame is in Medusa's hands."
"Since you know that the Heavenly Flame is in Medusa's hands, you should know how difficult it is to snatched from her. Medusa is an extremely dangerous existence. I don't want to provoke her again, even if the reward you offer is the Breaking Adversity Pill."
Queen Medusa is a nightmare in Hai Bodong's heart. Over the years, whenever he thinks back to the time when she was sealed, he can't help but tremble in his heart. (Hehe, Medusa really gave him PTSD…)
"You don't need to fight with Medusa. You just need to protect me and deal with the other leaders of the snake people. I can deal with Medusa and Heavenly Flame by myself." Jiang Ping took a step back and said.
"You deal with Medusa alone?"
Hearing this, Hai Bodong was stunned.
Although Jiang Ping's identity is very mysterious, a lot of information is known about him.
But Hai Bodong didn't think he had the ability to deal with Medusa.
Looking at the entire Jia Ma Empire, no one has ever defeated Medusa. Even the guardian of the Jia Ma royal family can only barely tie with her.
But Jiang Ping said he could deal with Medusa by himself?
"Don't worry, since I dare to say so, I must have my trump card. I said you don't have to deal with Medusa, so you don't have to deal with it." Jiang Ping saw Hai Bodong's suspicion.
"But while you don't have to deal with Medusa. You will need to help me with two more things within your ability in the future. If you agree, I can give you this Breaking Adversity Pill now."
"Two more things?" Hai Bodong frowned.
"A Breaking Adversity Pill Pill, I think it should be worth the price." Jiang Ping looked at Hai Bodong, with the Breaking Adversity Pill quietly laying in his palm.
Hai Bodong was still hesitating.
"I asked you to take me in only because I am not familiar with the conditions in the desert. But I can still go in without you. So, you don't have much time left. I will leave tomorrow. You can think about it carefully before then."
After saying that, Jiang Ping put away the Breaking Adversity Pill, turned around and walked out the door without looking back.
He really didn't have to subdue Hai Bodong, but Hai Bodong was in urgent need of the Breaking Adversity Pill.
The initiative is now in Jiang Ping's hands!
"Wait!"
Sure enough, just as Jiang Ping was about to step out of the store, Hai Bodong finally couldn't help it and said in a deep voice:
"Alright, you win!"
The temptation of the Breaking Adversity Pill... is simply too great.
It was hard for him to say no.
Jiang Ping turned around, smiled slightly, and placed the Breaking Adversity Pill in front of Hai Bodong.
"It's yours now."
Looking at the Breaking Adversity Pill in front of him, Hai Bodong's breathing became rapid, and a look of excitement and shock surged on his old face.
"this is really the Breaking Adversity Pill..."
He couldn't wait to pick up the Alchemy Pill, fearing that Jiang Ping would regret it.
"There is one thing I want to make clear to you."
"Don't try to take the Alchemy Pill and run away, and don't think you can regret it once you've recovered your strength."
"Since I can give you the Alchemy Pill now, it means I have enough confidence. So If you dare to betray me, I will make sure your fate to be even worse than it is now."
Jiang Ping warned coldly.
He was not afraid that Hai Bodong would go back on his word.
Even if Hai Bodong recovers his strength, he is just a Dou Emperor, and Jiang Ping has a Dou Ancestor experience card.
If Hai Bodong goes back on his word, he will definitely beat Hai Bodong to death!
In fact, this is a gamble, Jiang Ping is betting that Hai Bodong will not go back on his word.
If his bet was right, he would have one more Dou Emperor powerhouse and would be safer going deeper into the desert; if his bet was wrong, he would only lose a Breaking Adversity Pill, which was not worth mentioning.
"I am a man of my words, I will never do such a thing." Hai Bodong took a deep breath.
"By the way, I still don't know what to call you little brother?"
"Jiang Ping."
"Brother Jiang Ping, thank you very much!" Hai Bodong bowed solemnly, "Wait here here for a moment, I will go to the secret room to take the pill."
Breaking the seal is not an easy task, and he certainly cannot take the Breaking Adversity Pill here.
His eyes were full of excitement and impatience. Jiang Ping didn't say anything, just nodded and let him go.
After laughing foolishly for a few times, Hai Bodong couldn't wait to open a secret door leading to an underground secret room.
Jiang Ping did not follow him down, but waited there.
He was also looking forward to the extent to which Hai Bodong would recover after taking the Breaking Adversity Pill.
Jiang Ping's Breaking Adversity Pill was a system reward. It was of top quality and naturally had the best efficacy. It was not tampered like the one Xiao Yan and Yao Lao gave in the original novel.
...
The secret room built by Hai Bodong has the function of hiding the presence and aura, and Jiang Ping can hardly feel any movement outside.
It was not until half an hour later that Hai Bodong reappeared.
At this moment, Hai Bodong's aura changed drastically.
His eyes became sharper, his aura became more fierce and domineering, and a cold air emanated from his whole body.
The Ice Emperor, who was once famous throughout the Jia Ma Empire, is finally back!
"It seems the effect is quite good. I wonder how much strength have you recovered?" Jiang Ping asked.
Hai Bodong did not answer immediately, but looked at the young man in front of him solemnly.
As his strength recovered, he easily saw that Jiang Ping was just a 9-Star Dou Grandmaster.
Although reaching 9-Star Dou Grandmaster at this age means he got an amazing talent, but he is like an ant in front of Dou Emperor.
And now that he has already taken the Breaking Adversity Pill, Jiang Ping has nothing in his hand that can tempt or restrict him.
Now he can completely turn against his own decision and kick Jiang Ping out!
"What? Is the Ice Emperor going to break his promise?"
