The Battle Through Heaven
Exchange
Ao Tuo gestured to Xiao Yan towards him, uh taking two steps forward and pushing the door of the house. However, before he entered, the ferocious power sent out black-colored powder that spewed out from all directions from within the house.
The sudden unexpected event caused Xiao Yan to be slightly startled. He carefully took a few steps back with his right hand quickly clinging to the Heavy Xuan Ruler as he arched his body.
Before the black-colored powder could come out from inside the room, Ao Tuo rubbed his lips and waved his sleeves crazily. An even more ferocious power appeared and lifted up all the black powder, returning everything back from its origin.
As the black powder gradually dispersed, it revealed a dirty and messy room behind it. Ao Tuo patted his hands, tilted his head and said carefully to Xiao Yan, "This old man likes to do things like this to deceive people. The black powder just now might not poison people, but if one's skin was exposed to just a little, they would get a severe itch. "
Gradually releasing his palm from the Ruler's hilt, Xiao Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head. This old man is not normal.
"Let's go. Follow me. Don't touch anything. " Smiling, Ao Tuo led the way into the room with Xiao Yan following after hesitating for a bit.
After they entered the dark room, the door was automatically closed. The clear voice caused Xiao Yan to once again shake his head helplessly. His gaze swept across the room that was like a landfill as he followed Ao Tuo and climbed up some rotten wooden stairs that shook in a way that signified they were about to collapse. Finally, they reached the highest story after experiencing some other strange attacks.
As they finished the ascent, Xiao Yan let out a light sigh. He raised his head and looked at the wooden door at the end of the corridor. Tilting his head to Ao Tuo, he asked, "It should be here, shouldn't it?"
Ao Tuo nodded his head. He then lowered it to observe her clothes. Several small holes had formed from the corrosive liquid from the stairs. Moving the corner of his mouth, he clenched his teeth and said, "This old bastard. Instead of learning to refine the right medicine, he just likes to play around with things that are not worth seeing "
Hearing that complaint, the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth opened and a laugh clogged up in his heart.
"What empty mouth is it about purifying the right medicine, in what way are these things inappropriate? You old bastard, don't think just because you are the vice chairman of the Alchemist Association, I won't dare to kick you out! " While Xiao Yan was laughing out loud, an old voice was suddenly scolded from within the room at the end of the corridor.
You're an old bastard. Turning his eyes, Ao Tuo resentfully waved his sleeve and brought Xiao Yan into the corridor. Finally, they reached somewhere outside the room. He then violently kicked at the door of the room which seemed to be made of wood.
"About!"
When his kick hit the room door, a clear metallic sound suddenly sounded from the door. Xiao Yan's eyes twitched upon hearing this and quickly turned to look at Ao Tuo's distorted old face. Wisely, he quickly took a few steps back.
"Ha ha, old man. After the last time you kicked one of my doors, I replaced it with a steel door. Ha ha's. Is that fun?" From inside the room, an old laughter that exploded once again sounded with an arrogant attitude.
"Old bastard ..." Ao Tuo's face changed as he inhaled a breath of cold air. His facial expression slowly turned pale. From his body, an extremely ferocious Dou Qi began to slowly rise up and began to wrap around Ao Tuo like he was a person made of fire.
"How strong is Dou Qi .. His strength is at least at the Dou Ling level." Seeing the dark yellow Dou Qi wriggling on Ao Tuo's body, Xiao Yan hurriedly took two steps back as he sighed in his heart.
With his body covered with Dou Qi, Ao Tuo once again violently kicked the steel door.
"Bang!" Following the muffled voice that sounded in the corridor, the door was thrown into the room.
"ah! Old bastard, you really made it! " As soon as the door flew into the room, a strange shout immediately came from the interior.
"Hgm." Grunting with a clear expression, Ao Tuo walked into the room with his legs lacking coordination. His gaze swept across the room, finally landing on a dull-dressed old man. He smiled coldly. "Gu Te, do you believe that I will put all the names of the things you hide here on a piece of paper and announce everything to the outside world."
"Hehe, don't don't don't I'm just kidding." Hearing the threat, the gray-robed old man hurriedly waved his hand and smiled apologetically.
"Hgm." Waving his sleeves, Ao Tuo turned around and faced outside the door. "Come in, Xiao Yan."
"Huh, you brought someone? What are you planning?" Seeing Ao Tuo's demeanor, Gu Te's eyes widened as he said with a face full of vigilance.
Rubbing his lips, Ao Tuo was too lazy to bother this lunatic.
Slowly walking into the room, Xiao Yan's gaze usually swept across the interior. When his gaze glanced across the crystal table in the room, an expression of astonishment quickly appeared on his face.
Seeing that all these rarely seen, rare and precious things were actually all gathered here, Xiao Yan's mouth could not help but slowly widen. The collection here is a bit too rich, isn't it?
"Hey, hey boy, what are you looking at? Do you have any thoughts on my treasure? " Looking at Xiao Yan's expression, Gu Te hurriedly jumped up and looked at Xiao Yan angrily with a fierce expression.
"Uh .." Giving a shy smile, Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze and his eyes looked at the drab old man. It was hard for him to imagine in his heart that this skinny and weak old man was actually the elder brother of the famous Pill King Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire.
" Cough, sorry. Grandmaster Gu Te, I have never seen so many strange and precious things in my entire life. Looking at this luxurious collection, I think that no one in the Jia Ma Empire can compare to you. " Xiao Yan said with a smile.
" Daughter, you know how to talk. But what you say is true. " Hearing these slightly sucking words of Xiao Yan, the fierce expression on Gu Te's old face became slightly softer. He nodded his head and bluntly admitted those words.
"What are you here for. Hurry up and tell me, I'm very busy. " Turning around and sitting at a table filled with broken items, Gu Te raised his leg as he asked.
"This kid came here to look for something for you." Ao Tuo rolled his eyes and looked at the chair at the side that was filled with dust. He could only shake his head helplessly and remain standing as he spoke.
"Oh? Not that I know him. Why is he looking for me? Don't tell me that he has a strange treasure that he wants to sell me. Hehe, good good. As long as you can satisfy me, I will give you a satisfactory price! " A glint appeared in Gu Te's eyes as he said with a smile as he stared intently at the storage ring on Xiao Yan's finger.
" Cough .. no, Grandmaster Gu Te, I'm not here to sell my treasure, I'm here to inquire about ..." Xiao Yan shook his head as his eyes locked onto Gu Te's face. He gently asked, "I want to ask if you keep the ‘Cold Fountain Ice Spirit’ in your hands?"
Hearing this, Gu Te fell silent for a moment. Next, he shook his head like a windmill. "I don't have, I don't have. You have found the wrong person. I don't have that thing. "
Seeing Gu Te acting childish, Xiao Yan could only bitterly smile and shake his head. When he mentioned the ‘Cold Fountain Ice Spirit’ earlier, he clearly saw a shocked expression flashed across Gu Te's face. Perhaps, Gu Te was surprised about how Xiao Yan got the news that he had ‘Cold Fountain Ice Spirit’.
"Old man, stop lying. Didn't you tell me about that last time? You managed to get a small bottle of ‘Cold Fountain Ice Spirit’ from others. I still remember it clearly. " Ao Tuo said with a smile.
"Goddess. You old bastard. You better not come and find me here in the future. " After his lie was revealed, Gu Te was instantly enraged from being humiliated when scolded.
Ao Tuo waved his hand and said to Xiao Yan, "I've brought you to meet him. How you make it hand over ‘Cold Fountain Ice Spirit’ is entirely up to you. I'll wait for you outside. " As soon as he said those words, Ao Tuo walked out of the room. As he was about to come out, he lightly patted his palm on the part of the wall. Immediately, the wooden door gradually rose from the doorway and covered the interior of the room after he exited.
Seeing that Ao Tuo had left, Xiao Yan nodded helplessly. He waved his hand and blew the dust on the chair before sitting before Gu Te.
Gu Te's old eyes glanced at the tightly shut door before looking at Xiao Yan. He snorted: "Son, forget it. I will never hand over ‘Cold Fountain Ice Spirit’ to you. "
"Grandmaster Gu Te, I believe there is no transaction in this world that cannot be completed. If a transaction does not work, it means that someone has not taken something that the other party is interested in exchanging. " Xiao Yan said with a smile.
"Oh? Since you know this, then why are you still here? Don't tell me that you need ‘Cold Fountain Ice Spirit’ to save lives or anything. I have no pointless feelings of sympathy. " Lifting up his pitch-black eyebrows, Gu Te glanced at Xiao Yan. His smile was seductive. It seemed that he did not think that Xiao Yan could pick up something that he was interested in.
Xiao Yan's palm slowly rubbed his chin as his mouth was tightly shut; he looked like he was considering what could move Gu Te in front of him.
"Hehe, son, do you really have anything? But I'll say this in advance. Do not take the Qi Method or Dou Technique. Although they are very valuable, I am not interested in them. What I like most are the rare ingredients. " Looking at Xiao Yan's demeanor, Gu Te was also slightly interested. His finger pointed at the many rare materials in the room while laughing as he spoke.
Xiao Yan's finger lightly tapped on the table. He was silent for a long time before his finger gently rubbed the storage ring. After flicking his finger, a small jade bottle appeared in his palm.
Looking at the emerald jade bottle in Xiao Yan's hand, Gu Te raised his eyebrows. A faint curiosity appeared in his eyes.
Xiao Yan rubbed the small bottle, unwilling to part with it. He then slowly unfolded the bottle cap and gently placed it on the table. Immediately, purple steam rose from within. At that moment, the temperature of the small room also seemed to rise significantly.
Gu Te's eyes slightly shrank as he felt the surrounding air become hotter and stared at the purple flame vapor threads in the room.
