Another Heavenly Flame Remnant Map

Suppressing his thoughts, Xiao Ming looked up at the Amethyst Winged Lion King in front of him and the Xiao Yi Xian and the others beside him.

"Please wait here a moment, I'm going inside to buy something."

Upon hearing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King and the others nodded.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming ignored the various gazes coming from the street and turned to step into the Cartography Pavilion.

On the street, the Amethyst Winged Lion King watched as Xiao Ming's figure disappeared, then suddenly unleashed its aura upon the surrounding area.

In an instant, all the prying gazes vanished without a trace.

"Heh, a bunch of trash dare to spy on me?" The Amethyst Winged Lion King thought disdainfully. In the past, he would have killed all those who dared to spy on him, but now that Xiao Ming hadn't given orders, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Cartography Pavilion, Steward Bai, whom Xiao Ming had met once before, stood among a group of maids, watching Xiao Ming enter the pavilion, his calves trembling uncontrollably.

Steward Bai was very flustered. He had just witnessed this person commanding Sixth Tier Magical Beast through the door. He didn't know why such a powerful person who could control the Amethyst Winged Lion King would come to their small shop.

However, he was the most influential person in the drafting team, so although he was a little timid, he still walked up to Xiao Ming and put on a fawning smile.

"Greetings, sir. I was unaware that you have graced our humble establishment with your presence. How may I assist you?"

"You..." Xiao Ming had only uttered two words when Zi Yan walked in from outside and went straight to his side.

"Xiao Ming, it's so boring outside, I'll come in and keep you company." Zi Yan blinked her big eyes as she took Xiao Ming's large hand.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ming smiled and patted her head. He didn't say anything to her, but instead turned to Steward Bai and continued with what he hadn't finished saying earlier.

"This... is Steward Bai?"

Xiao Ming has always had a good memory. Seven years ago, he obtained a Fragment Map of the Nether Poison Flame here, and he still remembered Steward Bai, with whom he had spoken at that time.

Not only Steward Bai, but he also remembered the scantily clad maid. However, that maid was no longer in the Cartography Pavilion, and he didn't know if she was dead or what she was doing.

Xiao Ming remembered Steward Bai, but Steward Bai didn't remember him, since Xiao Ming was dressed in a black robe at the time.

So when he heard Xiao Ming call out his surname, Steward Bai was taken aback and asked in a trembling voice.

"Well... my surname is indeed Bai."

Seeing Steward Bai's extremely frightened appearance, Xiao Ming what he was thinking.

The Black Corner Region is utterly chaotic. Almost everyone who frequents this place has a blood on their hands. If a stranger comes to your door and calls out your name, nine out of ten are up to no good.

No wonder this Steward Bai was somewhat frightened.

Xiao Ming didn't bother to say anything more to Steward Bai and said directly, "I heard you have Heavenly Flame Remnant Map here. I'll buy it. Take it out."

Hearing this, Steward Bai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling his legs were less trembling.

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow. "So, sir, you're after the Heavenly Flame Remnant Map. We do indeed have it here; I'll get it for you right away."

As he spoke, Steward Bai jogged into a side door.

A moment later, he ran out again, covered in sweat.

He stopped when he reached us and respectfully presented a map with both hands.

"This is the Heavenly Flame Remnant Map that you requested, sir."

Xiao Ming glanced at it but didn't take it, because he noticed that Steward Bai had taken out was Fragment Map of the Nether Poison Flame map. He frowned and said, "Not this one."

"Not this one?" Steward Bai was immediately at a loss upon hearing this.

This is the only map of the Heavenly Flame Map they sell at their Cartography Pavilion!

This is the only picture that has ever been sold twice. Didn't this person hear about it somewhere before coming to us?

Imagine a powerful person, someone you could easily crush, wants to buy something from you. You confidently declare you have it, but then the person says what you've presented is incorrect. What do you do then?

Anyway, Steward Bai didn't know what to do. After stammering for a long time, he cautiously said, "Sir, our Cartography Pavilion only has this one Heavenly Flame Map..."

Seeing Bai Guan sweating profusely, looking as if he might kill him with a single wrong word, Xiao Ming suddenly thought of something.

That means these people probably don't recognize the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map as Heavenly Flame Remnant Map. He had been thinking about getting the Heavenly Flame Remnant Map before, and he blurted it out.

Realizing his mistake, Xiao Ming spoke again, "Since there are no other fragments of Heavenly Flame Remnant Map, then bring me all the old maps in your shop."

"Hurry up, or I'll tear down your shabby little shop!" Zi Yan, standing next to Xiao Ming, scoffed in agreement with his words.

Although Zi Yan looked charming and cute, the people in the Cartography Pavilion did not disregard her words.

Upon hearing this threat, Steward Bai quickly nodded. "My lords, please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

"You lot have no sense of propriety at all. Quickly bring a chair for the adults."

After reprimanding the maids in the hall, Steward Bai gave Xiao Ming a fawning smile.

Then they went through the same side door they had used before.

A moment later, Steward Bai came out again.

He approached Xiao Ming, who was already seated at the table, and with a flick of his hand, a flash of white light appeared.

A stack of Fragment Maps, over a foot high, appeared on the desktop in the blink of an eye.

"Sir, these are all the Fragment Map in our shop," Steward Bai said, bowing and scraping.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, his eyes slowly sweeping over the stack of drawings. He reached out and pulled out a tattered piece of ancient cloth from among them.

Unfolding the tattered map, the familiar routes and the eerie pattern, now only half-formed, appeared before Xiao Ming's eyes.

"Hehe, another map in hand. Only one more to go, but that map is a bit hard to find..." Xiao Ming thought to himself.

The last fragment of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Fragment Map is of unknown ownership, but its owner's cultivation level is definitely higher than his current level, and they also know the true value of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Map.

The last one is the hardest to obtain of all the Fragment Map.

Xiao Ming didn't ask how much the map cost, and simply put it into his Star Ring.

Then he took out a Purple Gold Card from it and threw it on the table.

"There are 200,000 gold coins here. Is that enough to buy one of your maps?"

"That's enough, that's enough," Steward Bai said with a forced smile, picking up the card. Even if it wasn't enough, he couldn't say it wasn't enough.

Xiao Ming's willingness to pay was already beyond his expectations, and he even gave him 200,000 gold coins. To say it wasn't enough would be incredibly tactless of him.

Watching Steward Bai deftly put away the Gold Deposit Card.

Xiao Ming stood up, took Zi Yan's hand, and walked directly out of the Cartography Pavilion.
