Purifying Lotus Demon Flame Remnant Map

What did it matter if he offended everyone in the world? As long as he obtained the Flame Mantra, he would have hope of devouring other Heavenly Flames. Given enough time, not even the Hun Clan—let alone the other Seven Great Clans—would be worth his notice.

"One Hundred Fifty Million Gold Coins, going once!"

"One Hundred Fifty Million Gold Coins, going twice!"

"Is anyone going to continue bidding?" Ya Fei smiled softly. "Any higher offers? Say, one hundred sixty million?"

Ya Fei swept her gaze across the private rooms. If no one bid again, she would bring down the hammer.

"Then, One Hundred Fifty Million Gold Coins, going three times—sold!"

"Let us congratulate Medicine Emperor Han Feng of Number Three Private Room for successfully acquiring the Flame Mantra, a cultivation technique capable of limitless advancement, for One Hundred Fifty Million Gold Coins! May the Medicine Emperor advance soon!"

Only the final auction item remained. Perhaps it would be even more powerful than the Flame Mantra—who could say?

Everyone in the venue focused intently in Han Feng's direction. Their eyes gleamed at that moment, like countless bolts of lightning flashing through the air.

No one wished to miss out on a cultivation technique capable of reaching the Dou Emperor realm. Given enough time, they would naturally become existences capable of safeguarding the entire continent.

In truth, they had never considered this possibility. Devouring Heavenly Flames required more than just those three supreme treasures; it also required an indomitable spirit. Once one failed, it would already be too late for regret.

Only death awaited them—death by being devoured by Heavenly Flames!

Before the final auction began, everyone took the chance to rest. However, Lord Li Xiao did not appear before the crowd. Clearly, he intended to leave everything to Ya Fei.

Ya Fei entered a room on the Fourth Floor and saw the Pavilion Master sampling the pastries she had made. A smile appeared on her face.

Without realizing it, she had been at the Ascending Heaven Pavilion for nearly a year. During that time, she cultivated diligently every day. Though her talent was lacking, with the help of the Pavilion Master and her sisters, her strength had improved by leaps and bounds, and she had directly advanced to the Dou Shi realm.

Her progress could be called astonishing.

From then on, Ya Fei had developed special feelings for the Pavilion Master. Thinking back, if she had refused him back then, what a foolish decision that would have been.

Li Xiao turned his head and flicked a finger. A cup of warm tea flew before Ya Fei.

"You've worked hard. Drink some water to soothe your throat."

Ya Fei nodded, caught the flying teacup, and drained it in one gulp. The dry heat in her throat vanished at once.

"Thank you, Pavilion Master." Ya Fei gave a bow.

"No need for formalities."

Li Xiao smacked his lips. "The final auction item will depend on you. I will not personally conduct the auction this time. If possible, raise the price a little higher."

Ya Fei looked at him in confusion. What did the Pavilion Master mean?

The main reason Li Xiao wanted Ya Fei to drive up the price was the Flame Mantra auction from earlier. The Flame Mantra needed to devour Heavenly Flames in order to evolve, and the next item happened to be related to Heavenly Flames.

Naturally, someone would be unable to resist the temptation and raise the bid.

Linglong helped Ya Fei straighten her clothes and said gently, "Relax. Your auctioneering skills surpass mine."

"You flatter me, Sister." Ya Fei did not dare to be presumptuous.

"It's nothing. Rest well for now. The auction will officially begin in half an hour. Just follow the Pavilion Master's instructions then. Ignore everything else."

"If anyone causes trouble, we will deal with them personally."

Linglong smiled sweetly. Ever since she learned that the Pavilion Master liked seeing her smile, Linglong had changed her temperament. Toward outsiders, she always exuded an icy chill.

Yet when dealing with her own people, her demeanor changed accordingly.

"I understand. Thank you, Pavilion Master. Thank you, Sister Linglong."

Ya Fei turned and sat in a chair, adjusting her breathing. Auctioning treasures before so many powerful experts, it was impossible not to feel nervous.

The sweat in her palms proved it.

Bing Shuang stepped forward and infused Ya Fei's body with her Dou Qi, easing her restless emotions.

A Dou Zun Strong's Dou Qi was terrifying beyond measure. Just a trace of it made Ya Fei feel as though she had swallowed a calming pill, and her tension eased.

She let out a heavy breath of hot air, and her body felt much more comfortable.

"Thank you, Sister Bing Shuang. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"You're too polite. You and I both serve the Pavilion Master. There is no need for such formalities between us."

Bing Shuang's expression was cold, but her voice was filled with meticulous concern. After a year together, the people of the Ascending Heaven Pavilion had already regarded Ya Fei as family.

If family was in trouble, how could they possibly stand by and do nothing?

Before long, half an hour passed. The final auction item began, and Ya Fei, the Ascending Heaven Pavilion's auctioneer, appeared on the Crystal Stage, drawing cheers from the crowd.

Ya Fei smiled faintly, turned around, and took out a silver tray. Then, she carefully lifted the brocade cloth covering it. At once, a tattered ancient piece of cloth appeared before everyone's eyes.

The moment they saw the ragged cloth, the auction hall fell silent for a moment before erupting into jeers.

Had the Ascending Heaven Pavilion gone mad? They were actually auctioning off a scrap of cloth? Hadn't they said every item would be a treasure? No matter how they looked at it, it resembled a foot-wiping rag.

"Miss Ya Fei, have you made some mistake? What do you mean by bringing out a face-wiping rag?"

"That's right, give us an explanation!"

Complaints rose throughout the venue. Everyone questioned what was going on. Could it be that the Ascending Heaven Pavilion was treating them like fools to be harvested? This was going too far!

Yet someone stood frozen in place, his gaze trembling slightly as he stared at half of a pattern along the edge of that tattered map.

Han Feng rubbed his eyes, deeply shocked. He had once heard that Old Bastard mention a similar tattered map.

This was no foot-wiping rag, much less junk. It was the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking! As Yao Chen's most valued disciple, Han Feng had heard him speak of Heavenly Flames many times. On the Dou Qi Continent, there existed a mysterious Heavenly Flame in the form of a milky-white fire lotus, capable of purifying all things.

It possessed the effect of purifying all things. Anything that touched even the slightest trace of it would be purified into nothingness.

This was the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, ranked third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking! The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame could even use a person's emotions as a trigger to enter their body, purifying their flesh, soul, and Dou Qi into nothingness. Its power was immensely terrifying. Only a few such Heavenly Flames existed in the world.

Ya Fei smiled. "Everyone, please remain calm. This is by no means a foot-wiping rag, but a treasure map for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame of the Heavenly Flame Ranking."

The entire venue fell deathly silent.

Then it erupted completely. The Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame—wasn't it said that whoever obtained it could unify the entire Dou Qi Continent? They never expected it to appear here!
