Chapter 109: The Deal

    Chapter 109: The Deal

    Facing Hai Bo Dong''s inquiry, Gu He didn''t provide an explanation. He couldn''t explain, to be honest.

    So, Gu He casually replied, "I have my ways. Do you really think that hiding in this remote little town means nobody knows about you?"

    Hearing this, Hai Bo Dong was taken aback for a moment. Then, he gave Gu He a deep look and, after a while, a smile appeared on his aged face. He said, "You''re indeed the famous Dan King Gu He. Your methods are truly extraordinary."

    "I never expected that you, kid, could grow to such a level."

    Having said this, Hai Bo Dong looked at Gu He with a sense of admiration.

    Over the years, even though he had secluded himself in this remote little town, he was well aware of the reputation of Dan King Gu He in the Jia Ma Empire. Gu He had indeed risen to great heights compared to the days of his title as the Ice Emperor.

    Thinking back to the time when Gu He had just won first place in the Alchemist Grand Meeting, he was just a young man back then. Although Gu He had shown exceptional talent, who would have thought that he would achieve the success he had now?

    For a moment, Hai Bo Dong felt somewhat emotional.

    Seeing the expression of nostalgia on Hai Bo Dong''s face, Gu He couldn''t help but smile. "When did the Ice Emperor, who was as cold as ice, become so sentimental?"

    As the purple flame appeared, the surrounding space slightly distorted, and the temperature in the entire room immediately soared.

    The moment the Heavenly Flame appeared in Gu He''s palm, Hai Bo Dong''s eyes froze as he stared at the flame in Gu He''s palm. His gaze was filled with shock, and then it turned into an extreme excitement. He stammered, "This... is this a Heavenly Flame?"

    Gu He nodded and said with a calm tone, "Yes, the flame in my hand is indeed a Heavenly Flame. Now, do I have the qualifications to remove the seal on you?"

    Upon receiving Gu He''s confirmation, Hai Bo Dong''s aged eyes instantly lit up with excitement.

    "Since you have a Heavenly Flame, and with your alchemy skills, you can indeed remove the seal on me," Hai Bo Dong said with determination. "As long as you can remove the seal on me, I''ll give you this fragment of the map. What do you say?"

    Hearing this, Gu He smiled and replied, "Helping you remove the seal is not a problem. However, what I want is the complete fragment of the map."

    Gu He remembered that the fragment in his possession was incomplete, and he knew that Hai Bo Dong had the other half of it.

    Upon hearing Gu He''s words, Hai Bo Dong''s expression changed slightly, indicating that he hadn''t expected Gu He to discover this.

    After a moment, Hai Bo Dong''s face returned to its usual composure, and he smiled, saying, "Indeed, you''re as perceptive as always, Dan King Gu He. If the seal on my body is removed, I will naturally give you the remaining half of the map."

    At this response, Gu He sighed in relief and looked at Hai Bo Dong with a nod. He smiled and said, "Alright, I agree."

    Seeing Gu He''s nod, Hai Bo Dong finally relaxed, and his aged face displayed a sense of anticipation.

    "Give me the prescription... Oh, and you should be aware of the rules when asking an alchemist to create a pill, right?" Gu He asked with a slight smile. "You provide the ingredients yourself!"
