Chapter 156: The Return of the Ice Emperor! Qinglin is Pregnant!
"Master Chen Feng, is this the place where the family elder you mentioned is in seclusion?" Qinglin asked curiously, standing on the street and looking at the quaintly decorated shop in front of her. On the way to Mocheng, Chen Feng had briefly told Qinglin about Hai Bo Dong.
"Yes, the elder in seclusion here is one of the top ten powerhouses in the empire, the Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong. Remember to pay your respects when we go in later!"
"Master, I will remember!"
Chen Feng nodded lightly, then led Qinglin directly into the shop.
On the street, many passersby had just seen Chen Feng display his Thunder Wings and descend from the sky, and they were all greatly shocked.
How could such a young powerhouse appear in a remote place like Mocheng?
Among these people, a young girl who was closest to where Chen Feng and Qinglin had landed and was preparing to enter the shop seemed particularly excited.
This woman, dressed in a tight red long dress, looked quite pretty. Her figure, wrapped in the red dress, also appeared exquisite.
"The top ten powerhouses in the empire, the Ice Emperor Hai Bo Dong... My father's guess was right, that old predecessor is actually a hidden Dou Emperor!"
At this moment, this red-dressed girl, after Chen Feng entered the shop, couldn't help but reveal a look of excitement on her pretty face. Obviously, everything Chen Feng had just said to Qinglin had been heard by her.
Next, the red-dressed girl also followed the footsteps of Chen Feng and Qinglin, curiously stepping into the shop.
In the 'Ancient Map' shop, there were very few customers, only two people were seriously selecting, and Hai Bo Dong was as always sitting in the counter, seriously making a desert map.
With the approach of Chen Feng, Hai Bo Dong immediately sensed a strong cultivation aura, and then suddenly raised his head.
"So it's you, kid!"
Seeing that the visitor was Chen Feng, Hai Bo Dong immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and a warm smile appeared on his face.
"A Dou Wang?"
But the next moment, Hai Bo Dong's heart thumped, and he stared at Chen Feng incredulously.
"Yes!"
Seeing Hai Bo Dong's reaction, Chen Feng nodded and smiled, "Elder, this time I went to the desert, I got some opportunities and luckily broke through to Dou Wang!"
"Good, very good. Cultivation requires talent and more opportunities. It's very good that you have this opportunity!"
Hearing Chen Feng's calm answer, the smile on Hai Bo Dong's face became even brighter, and he couldn't help but nod in praise.
"This young man is actually a Dou Wang powerhouse, no wonder he exudes such a strong aura!"
Chen Feng's conversation with Hai Bo Dong was heard by the two people in the shop who were originally selecting maps, and they were all very surprised to stare at Chen Feng.
A Dou Wang powerhouse, and a young man who looks only fourteen or fifteen years old, this information is too huge for them.
"This young Dou Wang powerhouse respects Master Bing so much, it seems that Master Bing is really a Dou Emperor!"
At this moment, the heart of the red-dressed girl was even more certain of Hai Bo Dong's identity.
It seemed that he noticed that the other people in the shop were a bit of a hindrance here, Hai Bo Dong waved his hand impatiently and said coldly, "You all go out, we are not open today!"
Hearing Hai Bo Dong's words, the two people in the shop who were originally selecting maps left with disappointment, but the red-dressed girl who had followed Chen Feng in stood still.
"Master Bing..."
The red-dressed girl hesitated for a moment, and said timidly.
Upon hearing this, Hai Bo Dong glanced at the red-dressed girl and said indifferently, "You go too, and don't come here to help in the future."
Hearing Hai Bo Dong's unceremonious expulsion, the red-dressed girl was slightly stunned, and then her eyes suddenly turned red, and she bit her red lips tightly.
Her original intention was to let Hai Bo Dong accept her as a student, but Hai Bo Dong's words clearly cut off her hope. At this moment, she felt very wronged in her heart, and a mist of mist wetted her long eyelashes.
"Master, this sister looks so pitiful!"
Seeing the red-dressed girl's tearful appearance, Qinglin couldn't help but say to Chen Feng.
"Who is this little girl?"
Qinglin's words were heard by Hai Bo Dong, who asked Chen Feng in surprise.
"Greetings to the elder... My name is Qinglin, and I am the master's maid!" Qinglin hurriedly paid her respects to Hai Bo Dong and said softly.
"So you are this kid's maid!"
Hai Bo Dong replied lightly, and then seemed to remember what Qinglin had just said to Chen Feng. After a slight pause, his finger stroked a yellow storage ring on his fingertip, and a scroll appeared.
With a flick of his finger on the scroll, Hai Bo Dong shot it at the red-dressed girl and said somewhat helplessly, "This is a low-level Xuan-level fighting skill. Since you have helped me for so long, I will give it to you. I know you want me to accept you as a student, but I really don't have that mindset, so this can be considered as my compensation."
Stunned to receive the scroll, the red-dressed girl pursed her lips tightly. After a while, she gratefully bowed slightly to Qinglin next to Chen Feng, then dimmed her pretty face and gently exited the shop.
After the red-dressed girl left, Hai Bo Dong lightly pressed a place behind the counter, and immediately, all the doors of the shop were closed.
Hai Bo Dong walked out of the counter with a smile, then put his hand on Chen Feng's shoulder and asked, "Chen Feng, how did things go when you went to the desert this time?"
"Elder, this time I went to the desert, I successfully found the Sand Mandala, and also went to the alchemist senior to ask him to refine the Po E Dan!"
Hearing Hai Bo Dong's words, Chen Feng did not hesitate, directly took out the jade bottle containing the Po E Dan, and handed it to Hai Bo Dong.
"It has been successfully refined? Your efficiency is really terrifying!"
Seeing this, Hai Bo Dong couldn't wait to open the jade bottle handed over by Chen Feng, and immediately, a refreshing dan fragrance emanated from the jade bottle.
Looking at the purple pill in the jade bottle, a touch of ecstasy and shock surged on Hai Bo Dong's old face.
Ecstasy, naturally because he got the Po E Dan as he wished, shock... He found it hard to believe that Chen Feng could go in and out of the desert in such a short time, and could find a seventh-grade alchemist to refine the pill.
Hearing this, Chen Feng didn't explain anything, he pointed to the pill in the jade bottle, and slowly said, "Elder, you try the effect of this pill first, and see if the description of the pill formula is exaggerated!"
"Also, I also want to know if this pill can really break the seal on my body!"
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Hai Bo Dong immediately threw away all other thoughts and focused all his thoughts on the Po E Dan.
"Come, follow me to a place!"
After speaking, Bodong walked towards a side door, and Chen Feng followed him with Qinglin.
Upon entering the side door, a corridor appeared. The light in the corridor was slightly dim, and there was a lamp emitting a faint light every ten meters or so.
In this dim environment, Hai Bo Dong walked ahead with his head down, and Chen Feng didn't speak either. Only the slight sound of footsteps echoed slowly in the long corridor, lingering for a long time.
This sound made Qinglin feel a bit creepy, and she followed Chen Feng timidly.
Although the corridor was straight, Chen Feng could feel that they seemed to be walking downhill.
After such a dull walk for about twenty minutes, Hai Bo Dong in front suddenly stopped, turned his head, and said to Chen Feng with a smile, "We're here!"
Looking past Hai Bo Dong, Chen Feng swept his gaze in front, and saw that under the faint light, a thick iron door appeared at the end of his sight. The iron door was deep and dark, exuding a sense of solidity.
Looking at the iron door, Hai Bo Dong's footsteps noticeably quickened. After a while, he came to the door, turned a black iron lion head in front of the door with his palm, and immediately, with a click, the iron door automatically slowly opened, and a bright light also shone out from it.
"Come in!"
Waving his hand at Chen Feng, Hai Bo Dong smiled and walked in first.
Chen Feng did not hesitate and directly led Qinglin into the basement.
As soon as he entered the basement, the temperature around him dropped a lot, and a faint chill lingered around him.
This basement is an underground ice cave. On the ceiling of the ice cave and the thick walls around it, there are all white ice hanging. Above the head, sharp icicles, like sharp swords, hang upside down on the ceiling.
A faint cold fog emanated and lingered in the basement, never dissipating for years. This somewhat large basement, it's unknown how much time and effort Bodong had spent.
"Hehe, Chen Feng, the fighting spirit technique I practice leans towards the cold, so practicing in this place yields better results. Moreover, this place is a distance from the surface, and the ice and soil can cover the aura here, so it won't be detected by other strong practitioners."
Looking at the expressions on Chen Feng and Qinglin's faces, Haibodong explained with a smile.
"Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Qinglin and asked, "How are you doing? Can you withstand the cold here?"
"I'm fine!" Qinglin shook her head with a smile.
Next, Chen Feng, without any hesitation, led Qinglin to sit down on the chair in the center of the basement.
"You guys wait a moment. If this pill is effective, I should be able to break the seal in no time!"
Seeing Chen Feng and Qinglin sit down, Haibodong greeted them, then lightly tapped his toes on the ground. His body flashed and hovered above a platform completely condensed from ice. He sat cross-legged, then put the Po E Dan in his mouth, swallowed it with a slight roll of his throat.
Next, the basement became very quiet. Chen Feng and Qinglin silently watched Haibodong on the ice platform.
Half an hour later, a circle of fierce energy ripples broke the silence.
On the ice platform, Haibodong, who had been silent, suddenly began to tremble violently.
Waves of fierce energy ripples spread rapidly from his body. Wherever the energy ripples passed, the surrounding tables and ice pillars were all shattered with a crackling sound.
Seeing this, Chen Feng quickly made a move, condensing a silver energy shield on his and Qinglin's bodies, blocking all the rampaging energy ripples.
Haibodong on the ice platform seemed unaware of the destruction he had caused. His body trembled violently for a while, and his old face suddenly tightened.
On his forehead, a strange cyan energy quickly condensed. After a moment, it formed a small cyan energy snake pattern.
The snake pattern circled on Haibodong's forehead, sealing his surging fighting spirit tightly.
At the moment the snake pattern appeared, a light purple energy slowly wound up from Haibodong's neck position. In just a blink of an eye, it began to contact the cyan snake.
The contact of the two fierce energies caused the previous waves of energy ripples to appear.
The purple energy and the cyan snake pattern were constantly at a stalemate on Haibodong's forehead, one up and one down. The faint light emitted by the two energies cast a strange glow on Haibodong's face. In addition, due to the intense pain caused by the two energies vying for a crucial position in the brain, Haibodong's face was slightly distorted. It looked somewhat ferocious.
The purple and cyan energies were at a stalemate on Haibodong's face. However, after about half an hour of stalemate, the cyan snake pattern finally dimmed a bit. Apparently, this so-called Po E Dan really seemed to have the miraculous effect of restraining this kind of seal.
With the restraining effect, the purple energy slowly drove the snake pattern out of the territory it occupied. When it gradually drove the latter away from the top of Haibodong's forehead, the purple energy surged violently. A fierce force actually squeezed the snake pattern out of Haibodong's head.
As soon as the snake pattern left Haibodong's head, it trembled violently, then turned into a wisp of cyan smoke and dissipated.
At the moment the snake pattern left the body, Haibodong's closed eyes suddenly opened. A sharp light shot out from his eyes as if it were substantial. A fierce momentum, like a waking lion, surged out from his body that had been deeply suppressed for nearly decades.
Under this strong momentum, the ice crystal layer in the basement began to crack.
"Haha, this damn seal is finally gone! I'm a Dou Emperor again!"
With his feet on the ice platform, Haibodong's body hovered in mid-air like lightning. His face was filled with ecstasy, and he laughed wildly.
The intense sound wave, carried by the fighting spirit, shook the surrounding cracked ice layer, causing it to burst with a bang.
"Elder, congratulations on breaking the seal!"
Seeing Haibodong laughing wildly in mid-air, Chen Feng stood up from the chair and congratulated with a smile.
"Haha, all thanks to you, kid! Without you, I don't know how much time this old man would have wasted here!"
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Haibodong moved his body and quickly returned to the ground. His words were full of gratitude.
"Elder, now that you have recovered your cultivation, Chen Feng wants to welcome you back to the family. I'm sure the old man will be very happy to see you return!" Chen Feng continued.
Upon hearing this, Haibodong's gaze swept around the ice room and sighed, "After this time, I really have no reason to stay here… Let's go back in a few days!"
"Elder, you have been here for decades, and there are always some things worth remembering. So, I won't disturb you today. I'll come over at noon the day after tomorrow, and then we'll go back to the imperial capital together!"
Seeing the look of emotion on Haibodong's face, Chen Feng felt a sense of empathy. After that, he directly took Qinglin and temporarily left.
"Ding, it is detected that Qinglin is pregnant, and the host is rewarded with a big gift package!"
"Ding, does the host want to open the big gift package?"
Just as Chen Feng had just left the basement, a system prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.
