Chapter 123: The Remnant Map of a Heavenly Flame

As the three of them stepped through the stone door, the view before them suddenly widened.

Inside the stone door was a huge stone hall, the stone hall looked a bit plain and empty, the walls were inlaid with moonlight stones for illumination, and in the center of the hall was a seat on which sat a dead skeleton with a sunken skull, the appearance it gave in this silent atmosphere, was a bit gloomy.

Xiao Yi Xian looked at the skeleton, then at the huge silent hall, her delicate face turned pale, and she could not help but move a little closer to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming noticed that in front of the seat where the skeleton was sitting, there was a long and wide stone table, on which three stone boxes that were closed were neatly placed.

In addition, in the three corners of the stone room, there were surprisingly a large number of gold coins and other treasures piled up, the number of gold coins seemed not less than hundreds of thousands of gold coins.

Xiao Ming did not lack treasures and money, and the original owner of these treasures had also placed them so casually that he did not seem to attach too much importance to these things.

In the far corner of the room was a small flower bed, in which all kinds of flowers and plants had been planted, and a strange fragrance lingered around it.

Tearing his eyes away from the gold coins and medicinal herbs, Xiao Ming's eyes finally rested on the bones of the corpse and a faint smile appeared on his face.

After seeing the medicinal herbs on the flower bed, Xiao Yi Xian was surprised and wanted to move forward, but then stopped and looked at Xiao Ming.

"Don't look at me, I already said so, everything else is yours, I just want one thing." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Xiao Yi Xian was very happy with his words, as she did not expect the other party to actually keep his promise.

Immediately, without any pretense, she ran to the medicinal herbs and began to pick them up.

Zi Yan, meanwhile, was looking rather greedily at the top of the flower bed, where there was an herb with leaves divided into white and red colors.

Xiao Ming looked at Zi Yan's appearance and smiled wryly, "That Fire and Ice Spirit Herb is very good, but I have already promised to give it to her, in these two days, I can accompany you to find some medicinal herbs."

"Mm-hmm." With some reluctance to withdraw her gaze, Zi Yan nodded her head vigorously in response.

After patting Zi Yan's little head, Xiao Ming walked over to the stone table in the center of the stone room.

Unconcerned about the boxes on top of the stone table, Xiao Ming's gaze fell on the skeleton bones behind the stone table.

When his gaze descended, he saw that the palm of the skeleton's right hand had three black keys hanging over the bones.

He removed the keys with his hand and placed them on the stone table, then Xiao Ming yanked the skeleton's arm with one jerk.

With his eyes peering through the fracture above the arm bone, Xiao Ming was able to see that there appeared to be a small scroll hidden in the crack of the bone.

'Hiding a map in the middle of the arm bone, moreover, it looked like he had tucked it in alive, the original owner of this stone room was also a ruthless person!'

After marveling for a moment, Xiao Ming took out the small scroll, and after casually putting the arm bone back in place, he slowly spread out the map.

Xiao Ming raised his eyebrows as he untied the scroll with his palm and looked inside.

What appeared before his eyes was a piece of scroll made of some unknown material. On the slightly yellowed scroll were drawn lines that looked seemingly irregular, and in the corner of the scroll was a fuzzy thing that looked like a lotus flower.

The lotus flower, perhaps because of its age, is slightly yellowed and somewhat blurred, but its original color could be distinguished.

The lotus was pink in color, and a thin layer of pink flames seemed to be attached to the surface of the lotus, giving the whole lotus a vaguely demonic feeling when looked at closely.

Zi Yan, who had followed Xiao Ming to the center of the stone hall, saw the seriousness with which Xiao Ming was looking at it, and also stood on her tiptoes to examine the map in Xiao Ming's hand.

But after looking at it for a moment, she gave up.

It was because she could not understand what those ghostly symbols were.

If she couldn't read it, she could ask, so she said.

"Xiao Ming, what is this thing?"

Looking away from the map, Xiao Ming didn't hide it and smiled, "This should be the Heavenly Flame map ranked number three of the Heavenly Flame Ranking, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, but it's a fragmented map, only a quarter of it."

"Only a quarter? Then why are you so happy?" Zi Yan wrinkled her nose adorably, she also knew the value of the Heavenly Flames, however, a map with only a quarter part was of little use when one thought about it, trying to gather it all together, one fears it would be impossible in one lifetime.

Normally it was like this, but Xiao Ming could remember very clearly the time and place where this remnant map of Heavenly Flame would appear.

The possibility of getting it was really high.

In fact, if one simply wanted to know the location of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, one did not need a map, the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was within the realm left by the Purifying Demonic Lotus Saint.

And whenever this realm came up, there was always a lot of movement.

So it was quite easy to know where it was.

But the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was not so easy to subdue, and obtaining a complete map of that Heavenly Flame beforehand would help refine it.

Of course, it was inconvenient to talk to Zi Yan about this, so Xiao Ming simply pinched her little nose and said, "As an alchemist, it's inevitable that I would be a little happy to see a trace of the Heavenly Flame."

"Was that what you were looking for?" At that moment, Xiao Yi Xian had already finished collecting all the medicinal herbs from the small flower bed and walked over with a dozen jade jars containing medicinal herbs in her arms.

"Mm, indeed, this was what I was looking for." Xiao Ming nodded his head.

Xiao Yi Xian didn't care if what Xiao Ming said was true, nor did she ask Xiao Ming why he knew that map would be here, as she knew it was useless for her to ask, the other party definitely wouldn't tell her.

Therefore, she merely directed her gaze towards the three stone boxes on the table.

Seeing that Xiao Ming had no intention of moving, but rather seemed to give her a 'what are you waiting for' look, she went ahead and took the keys from the table and opened the metal locks on the stone boxes.

Before long, all three stone boxes were unlocked.

A book was placed in each box.

First, Xiao Yi Xian took a somewhat heavy black scroll.

"High Xuan Flying Dou Technique, 'Eagle Wings."

"Flying Dou Technique, what is a Flying Dou Technique?" It was the first time she read that name, so Xiao Yi Xian blinked, she had heard of attacking Dou Techniques, defensive Dou Techniques, Melee, and so on, but this was the first time she heard of Flying Dou Technique.

"Flying Dou Technique, as the name suggests, is capable of making one fly in the sky." Xiao Ming, who came to her side at some point, politely explained.

"Fly? Isn't that an ability that requires one to be at the Dou Spirit realm, to just barely possess it?" Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian was first startled and then filled with confusion.

Xiao Ming shook his head and said, "Dou Spirit can briefly move a small distance at low altitude, but it is not really considered flying, at least not compared to this Flying Dou Technique."

Xiao Yi Xian was first surprised at his words, and then thought of a certain possibility. "You know so much about this, aren't your wings...?"

It was no wonder Xiao Yi Xian thought wrongly, after all, Xiao Ming and Zi Yan were really too young in appearance, and a Dou King powerhouse at this age was really too monstrous in Xiao Yi Xian's opinion.

"Hehe, you guessed wrong."

Although Xiao Ming didn't care about other people's thoughts on his strength, he still had to think of a way to convince Xiao Yi Xian later on, and a higher strength was still somewhat useful, so naturally, he couldn't let her guess randomly.

Hearing Xiao Ming say that, and seeing his gaze that seemed to judge her for being a girl who hadn't seen the world, Xiao Yi Xian averted her gaze in embarrassment and was silent for a moment, then picked up another green-colored book.

"High Xuan Qi Method…"

This one did not cause Xiao Yi Xian much confusion, and after getting a little excited, she turned her gaze to the last box.

There was an ancient rainbow-colored scroll.
