Hai Bo Dong wore a bitter smile upon hearing this. Naturally, he was aware of this rule. It was an unspoken agreent within the alchemy community.
However, when he heard Gu He's response, Hai Bo Dong's weathered hand gripped a few strands of his beard, looking sowhat embarrassed. He explained, "I've gathered almost all the materials required by the prescription listed. At this point, I'm only missing one ingredient."
Feeling puzzled, Gu He asked, "What ingredient are you missing?"
Hai Bo Dong, feeling awkward, introduced it, "The ingredient is called the Sand Mandala of the Sands. It can only be found deep in the Tagor Great Desert. The higher the temperature, the more likely it is to be found. But you know, I practice ice attribute techniques, and I also have the seal placed by Queen dusa within . The mont I step into the heart of the Tagor Great Desert, she would detect . So..."
Seeing Hai Bo Dong's awkward expression, Gu He gave him a deep look and inquired, "Are you asking to find this herb for you? Let remind you that you're already getting a great deal with concocting the dicine for you. It seems a bit excessive to ask to search for herbs in the vast desert for you, considering the value of this map fragnt."
Upon hearing Gu He's words, Hai Bo Dong chuckled awkwardly, then continued with a tone of resignation, "How about this? I have a piece of information that you'll surely find interesting."
"What information?" Gu He asked, looking sowhat surprised.
"The information I possess is related to Heavenly Flas..." Hai Bo Dong said, his face displaying wrinkles as he stared straight at Gu He. He smiled slowly and continued, "I wonder if this information could persuade you to help find the Sand Mandala of the Sands?"
Upon hearing the words 'Heavenly Flas,' Gu He's heart noticeably skipped a beat. He then fixed his gaze on Hai Bo Dong.
"You must have heard sothing about the presence of Heavenly Flas in the Tagor Desert," Hai Bo Dong continued, looking at Gu He with a faint smile.
Gu He nodded slightly and said, "So, do you know where this Heavenly Fla might be located?"
"I have a particular interest in mapping, and I've spent so ti exploring within the Tagor Great Desert. I managed to obtain so information about Heavenly Flas through my investigations. While I can't be entirely certain about the exact location of the Heavenly Fla, I have a good idea of places where it is most likely to be found. Without my information, even if you spend more than a year in the Tagor Desert, obtaining a Heavenly Fla would be even more challenging."
"Would you be willing to help acquire the Sand Mandala of the Sands? In return, I will share with you all the information I've gathered about the Heavenly Flas throughout these years," Hai Bo Dong said with a smile.
"Deal!" Gu He didn't hesitate and agreed directly. The allure of Heavenly Flas was just too significant, and he was willing to pay a substantial price to obtain one.
Seeing Gu He's agreent, Hai Bo Dong nodded with a smile, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a thin piece of parchnt. He handed it over to Gu He, saying, "During my explorations, I found that there are three locations in the Tagor Desert that are most likely to contain Heavenly Flas. All three of these places are marked on this map."
He extended his hand, and Gu He slowly received the parchnt. After looking it over, he carefully unfolded it.
What he found was an incredibly detailed map of the Tagor Great Desert, far superior to the maps available at the counter. This map not only precisely marked the locations of water sources in the desert but also indicated the scattered snake-human tribes throughout the desert.
"Do you see the three fla marks on the map?" Hai Bo Dong reminded with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Gu He's gaze swept across the map, and indeed, he discovered three very conspicuous fla symbols on the northeastern and northwestern directions of the map.
"These three places represent the most likely locations in the Tagor Desert where a Heavenly Fla may be hidden."
Pointing his finger at these three fla symbols, Hai Bo Dong said with a smile, "Of course, these are inferred based on my exploration and reasoning. The accuracy cannot be one hundred percent guaranteed, but it's undoubtedly better than you fumbling around blindly."
Upon hearing this, Gu He nodded slightly. Even though he had extraordinary soul perception, the Tagor Great Desert was vast, and locating a Heavenly Fla within it would be extrely challenging. Hai Bo Dong's detailed map would undoubtedly save him a lot of ti and effort.
"Rember, it's best to visit the locations marked with fla symbols to the east and north. As for the western location, if possible, avoid going there."
"Why?"
"Because that place is close to the
deep heart of the Tagor Desert. Queen dusa can sense the presence of any human entering her range. Although you possess a Heavenly Fla, if you were to encounter the terrifying Queen dusa, I doubt you'd have much chance of escaping alive." Thinking of Queen dusa's frightening strength, Hai Bo Dong sighed with a hint of lingering fear.
"I'll do my best."
Nodding slightly, Gu He replied calmly. He knew that if he didn't find any traces of Heavenly Flas in the other two places, there was a high likelihood he would go to the western location marked with the fla symbol.
As for the danger Hai Bo Dong had ntioned, Gu He didn't pay it any mind. With his three-star Dou Ancestor strength, he could dominate the entire Tagor Great Desert. Even if Queen dusa encountered him, she would be easily subdued.
"This is all I can do to assist you. I hope you succeed in obtaining the Heavenly Fla and then bring back the Sand Mandala of the Sands."
Watching Gu He carefully put away the map, Hai Bo Dong smiled, "As for the prescription and the small map fragnt, allow to keep them for a while. I will hand them all to you when you return."
"Understood."
Gu He nodded slightly, clasping his hands together in gratitude. "In that case, I'll take my leave."
With that, Gu He walked out of the shop directly.
Stepping out of the store, he turned to look at the simple and plain shop door. He lifted his head, allowing the scorching sunlight to pour onto his face like boiling water. After a while, he exhaled a sigh.
