Pure Lotus Demonic Flame Fragment Map
Because it is located on the edge of the desert, the environment here is dry and hot all year round. The scorching sun shows no sign of abating, even in early spring, and continues to bake this land day after day.
The hot and dry desert environment is extremely difficult for most people to adapt to. Of course, there is also a small group of people who love this environment.
Of course, Lin Ming, who possesses the Five Elements Energy, is not so picky about his environment. As long as there is Five Elements Energy, Lin Ming will not experience any discomfort.
Of course, Lin Ming didn't have any particular likes or dislikes after arriving here, but the Purple Crystal Wings on Lin Ming back emitted a sense of comfort, to the point that Lin Ming himself felt a sense of comfort and joy.
As Lin Ming approached the city, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually increased.
A moment later, Lin Ming arrived at the city gate and saw the two pale red characters "Mo City" carved on the city wall. Lin Ming knew he hadn't gone to the wrong place. The city he had investigated was indeed Mo City.
Seeing the long queue of people waiting to enter the city, Lin Ming headed straight for the city gate.
In the Jia Ma Empire, Lin Ming had no habit of queuing. Putting aside his status, Lin Ming's current strength was more than enough to earn him such treatment.
"Hey kid, you stop right there!" The guard at the city gate said irritably. Then, another guard walked towards Lin Ming, cursing.
"What did you say?" Lin Ming, of course, wouldn't be polite to this person's insults. His imposing aura, combined with his icy tone, instantly enveloped the man.
"Thump!" Overwhelmed by Lin Ming's imposing aura, the guard's legs buckled and he knelt on the ground.
Faced with such imposing aura, the guard, though unsure of the young man's true strength, was certain of one thing: this man could crush him with the ease of crushing an ant. So, facing death, the guard immediately begged for mercy, saying, "My lord, please forgive me! I was blind to your greatness! I was blind to your greatness!"
"Hmph! Remember this, watch your words from now on!" After Lin Ming finished speaking, his aura surged, and the man was sent flying several feet away.
Lin Ming disliked this person's tendency to curse at the drop of a hat, so he only gave him a small warning. If this person had tried to reason with him, Lin Ming wouldn't have been unreasonable.
Ignoring the matter, Lin Ming tossed a Gold Coin into the tribute box and headed into the city.
After entering the city, Lin Ming went to an inn, ordered a few dishes, and then asked the waiter if there was a map seller in the city who was an old man with a strange temper.
After Lin Ming inquired, he took out a Gold Coin and placed it on the table. He then said that this Gold Coin would be used to pay for the meal, and the rest would be his tip. The waiter happily told Lin Ming what he wanted.
Having gotten the result he wanted, Lin Ming didn't leave immediately. He'd already paid for the meal, so there was no reason not to eat it. Therefore, after all the dishes were served and he'd filled his stomach, Lin Ming headed towards the place the waiter had indicated.
After walking along the street for a while, Lin Ming arrived at a shop that exuded a somewhat antique feel. Seeing the sign above the shop with the words "Gu Tu) on it, Lin Ming nodded. This was the place the waiter had mentioned.
Having found the right place, Lin Ming didn't linger and went straight into the shop.
Upon entering the shop, Lin Ming immediately looked towards the counter. Lin Ming, an elderly man with gray hair came into Lin Ming.
The old man didn't seem to care about Lin Ming's arrival, continuing to draw his map as if nothing had happened, showing none of the enthusiasm that map sellers would show to a visitor.
Looking at the elderly man with gray hair, Lin Ming knew that he was none other than the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, and Lin Ming's heart was instantly filled with joy. However, outwardly, Lin Ming did not show any of this joy.
Without disturbing the Ice Emperor's drawing, Lin Ming walked towards the wooden shelf next to him.
Lin Ming remembered that Xiao Yan had discovered a fragment of the map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame while casually rummaging through these wooden shelves.
The fragment of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was also one of Lin Ming's targets this time, and in Lin Ming's plan, this fragment was also the beginning of his contact with the Ice Emperor.
Lin Ming couldn't possibly reunite with the Ice Emperor without a reason. Otherwise, if the Ice Emperor asked how Lin Ming knew he was there, Lin Ming wouldn't be able to explain himself. So, this reunion had to be due to a coincidence. Therefore, finding this fragment of the map was what Lin Ming wanted to do now.
Arriving at a wooden shelf, Lin Ming picked up a map, pretended to look at it, then put it down and picked up the next one to look at.
After searching two locations without finding anything, Lin Ming moved on to another wooden shelf. Looking at the yellowed and musty-smelling maps, Lin Ming picked them up, shook them, and a tattered map about the size of a palm fell out.
Looking at the tattered map that had fallen to the ground, Lin Ming put the map back on the wooden shelf and then picked up the tattered map.
Looking at the lotus pattern in the corner of the tattered map, a smile appeared on Lin Ming's face.
Now that the fragment of the map to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame had been found, Lin Ming's plan could finally be implemented. There was no need to continue the charade of searching for a map, so Lin Ming immediately said, "Old Sir, which one of your maps is the most detailed and accurate? I need a copy."
"These are all on the counter, choose for yourself!" Ice Emperor didn't look up at Lin Ming's question, continuing to draw her own picture as she spoke.
Lin Ming wasn't surprised by Ice Emperor's reaction. Lin Ming immediately went to the counter, picked up several maps to compare, and then casually selected one, placing it in front of Ice Emperor and saying, "Old Sir, this is it. I don't know how old it is."
"Ten Gold Coin!" the Ice Emperor said as he continued drawing.
"Old Sir, how much will it cost including this fragment of the map?" After hearing the Ice Emperor's offer, Lin Ming placed the fragment of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame on the table and said.
After hearing Lin Ming's words, the Ice Emperor's hand, which was steadily drawing a map, trembled involuntarily, and a scratch appeared on the originally exquisite map in his hand.
The Ice Emperor showed no remorse for the error in the map he held. Instead, he raised his head and glanced at the incomplete map of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.
If anyone could see the Ice Emperor's eyes, they would see a flash of brilliance in those murky eyes in that instant.
The Ice Emperor raised his head, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression. He then looked at Lin Ming and asked, "You... you want to buy this fragment of the map?"
