Purpose

"Hey! There's another one here, Lin Ming, take it too!" After venting his emotions for a long time, Elder Hai took out a fragment of the same palm-sized map from his Storage Ring and handed it to Lin Ming, saying this.

"Elder Hai, you've collected two fragments of the map?" Lin Ming asked excitedly as he took the fragments.

When Elder Hai produced another incomplete map, Lin Ming knew it was actually one piece, but Elder Hai had divided it into two. However, Lin Ming's current excited expression made it impossible for anyone to tell that Lin Ming knew this.

"These two fragments are actually from one map. It's just that over the years, during my research, I've separated them into two fragments. So, according to Lin Ming, these two fragments together constitute one-quarter of the map," Elder Hai explained upon hearing Lin Ming's question.

"Uh! Okay! Xiao Ming thought he would get two fragments of the map at once?" After listening to Elder Hai's explanation, Lin Ming scratched his head and said with an embarrassed expression.

"Ugh! These Snake People Race are crazy. Of all the things you could collect, you had to collect Heavenly Flame Map. You don't even use these things, yet I've had to suffer for decades!" Thinking of the incomplete map, Elder Hai's anger flared up again, to the point that he began to berate the Snake People Race, the origin of the map.

"Uh! Elder Hai, actually, the Snake People Race can indeed use Heavenly Flames." Hearing Elder Hai's scolding, Lin Ming thought for a moment and decided to tell Elder Hai.

"Lin Ming, did you know that Snake Person can use Heavenly Flames?" After hearing Lin Ming's words, Elder Hai looked at Lin Ming with disbelief and asked.

"Elder Hai Xiao Ming, when I was at the Jia Nan Academy, I took some time to look at some materials. Among them, I saw that when Snake Person reach the Peak Dou Emperor in cultivation, they can use a secret technique to evolve. If the evolution is successful, they can shed their Snake Person appearance and become human, and their cultivation will reach the Dou Ancestor Realm. As for the condition for this evolution, it is the Heavenly Flames." Lin Ming then used the guise of the Jia Nan Academy to tell me what he knew.

After hearing Lin Ming's words, Elder Hai stood there stunned with a bitter expression.

After hearing Lin Ming say that the fragmented map contained information about the Heavenly Flames, Elder Hai thought that at least there were other Snake People Race like him who couldn't use it, which made him feel a little better. However, Lin Ming shattered his last bit of peace of mind. It turned out that the fragmented map was only useless to him, the victim, and was useful to everyone else. So, the biggest victim had always been himself.

"Ah! Enough! Lin Ming, tell me about yourself! I just heard you mention Canaan Academy, so you must have gone there to cultivate! Tell me about the Jia Nan Academy!" After a while, Elder Hai to his senses. Then, thinking that he couldn't talk about the incomplete map anymore, he asked Lin Ming to tell him about the Jia Nan Academy.

After hearing Elder Hai's words, Lin Ming thought for a moment and then briefly recounted his experiences at the Jia Nan Academy to Elder Hai.

"Lin Ming, you're already Tier 5 Alchemist?" After hearing that Lin Ming had refined Tier 5 Medicinal Pill, Elder Hai couldn't help but ask.

At Lin Ming's age, possessing either cultivation level or alchemy skill alone would make him an exceptionally talented individual. How much more so now that Lin Ming excels in both? This is why Elder Hai asked with such surprise.

"Yes, Elder Hai! Just half a month ago, Xiao Ming refined a Spirit Dou Pill for the Clan Leader and Grandpa Liu. After these days, their cultivation must have increased by one star!" Lin Ming said to Elder Hai without hiding anything.

"Spirit Dou Pill that can raise One-Star Dou King level?" Elder Hai asked in surprise after hearing Lin Ming's words.

Seeing Elder Hai's surprised expression, Lin Ming nodded.

"Lin Ming, what is that Golden Flame of yours?" Elder Hai asked with a hint of anticipation on his face.

The original text mentions that after all these years, Elder Hai has actually found a way to break his own seal. However, this method requires a 6th Grade Alchemist with Heavenly Flames to concoct a pill to break the seal for him.

Now, Elder Hai has learned that Lin Ming can refine the Spirit Dou Pill. Although Elder Hai doesn't know how to Pill Refining, his experience over the years has taught him that while the Spirit Dou Pill is Tier 5 Medicinal Pill, its refining difficulty is greater than many Tier 6 Medicinal Pills. Therefore, Lin Ming is almost certainly capable of meeting the requirements in terms of alchemy.

The cyan -Golden Flame that Lin Ming just used was not a flame generated by Dou Qi. Moreover, its power was extremely great, which is why Elder Hai had the hope that Lin Ming's cyan -Golden Flame was Heavenly Flames, so that Lin Ming could refine the pill to break his own seal.

Seeing Elder Huo's expression, Lin Ming knew what Elder Hai was hoping for. If possible, Lin Ming would also like the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire to be Heavenly Flames, but that was just a hope. The current Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire was not yet at the level of Heavenly Flames.

Looking at Elder Hai, Lin Ming made a thought, and a cyan -Golden Flame rose from his palm. Then, Lin Ming said, "Elder Hai, Xiao Ming call this flame the Flame Gold Earth Heart Fire. It was obtained by the Clan Leader and others from the remains of the Grade 6 Magical Beast, the Golden Flame Python Xiao Ming. After I refined it, due to some coincidences, the flame mutated, which is why it has the current cyan-gold color."

After listening to Lin Ming's introduction, Elder Hai was a little disappointed, but he knew how difficult it was to find Heavenly Flames, so the disappointment on his face disappeared after only a moment.

Looking at the outstanding Lin Ming before him, Elder Hai's face was filled with joy. However, after a moment, as if he had thought of something, Elder Hai suddenly said to Lin Ming, "Lin Ming, remember this: before your cultivation reaches the Dou Emperor, never reveal your identity as Tier 5 Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire. Otherwise, that old bastard in the Royal Family might stop at nothing to attack you."

"Elder Hai, Xiao Ming understands this. So, in the family, apart from the Clan Leader, Grandpa Liu, and two or three others who know Xiao Ming's true situation, no one else knows." Lin Ming said in response to Elder Hai's reminder.

"Okay, that's good!" After hearing Lin Ming's words, Elder Hai nodded and said.

"Lin Ming, you've come to buy a map of the desert. Is there something you need to do in the desert? I've explored the Tagor Desert quite thoroughly over the years. If you have any business to attend to, I can offer some guidance." Then, remembering that Lin Ming had come to buy a map, Elder Hai asked.

"With Elder Hai's help, things will definitely be much easier. Xiao Ming came to the Tagor Desert because I heard rumors that there is Heavenly Flames here, so Xiao Ming thought I'd try my luck and see if I could find Heavenly Flames." Lin Ming said, looking at Elder Hai was asking about his purpose in coming to the Tagor Desert.
