Third Fragment of the Map Obtained

"Ah~" About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Xiao Yi Xian's scream rang out again.

"What are you doing?" Lin Ming asked immediately, feeling the softness of the impact on his back.

She was walking along peacefully when Lin Ming suddenly stopped, causing her to bump into him. Now he was asking her what she wanted? Xiao Yi Xian angrily yelled, "Ugh! You stinky Lin Ming, you... you're asking me what I wanted? Why did you stop?"

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's angry expression, Lin Ming smiled and retorted, "We've arrived, why wouldn't I stop? Besides, can't you watch where you're going? You're such a big person, and you still bump into me even when you're stopped."

"Hmph! This cave is so dark, how could I see anything?" Xiao Yi Xian snorted coldly. Then, Xiao Yi Xian muttered to herself, "Besides, there's no one in front of me, it's clearly a pig."

After saying that, Xiao Yi Xian's angry expression instantly disappeared. So, Xiao Yi Xian took two steps forward and went around to Lin Ming's front to inspect him.

Xiao Yi Xian stepped forward, looked at the Stone Door emitting a pale yellow light, frowned slightly, and then said, "It seems that our destination is behind this Stone Door. Judging from the pale yellow light, this stone Stone Door should be equipped with Earth Element Mechanism. So as long as we find the mechanism, we can go in."

"The mechanism is at the protruding point at the bottom of your Stone Door." Lin Ming's voice came as soon as Xiao Yi Xian finished speaking.

"How did you know?" Xiao Yi Xian asked in surprise as soon as she finished speaking, Lin Ming pointed out the location of the mechanism.

The original story tells us that there are mechanisms here. So, knowing there are mechanisms, once he reaches the Stone Door, finding them with Lin Ming's current Soul Power would be incredibly easy. Therefore, when Xiao Yi Xian asked him a question, Lin Ming immediately replied, "Do you think my Dou Wang cultivation is just for show?"

"Hmph!" Upon receiving Lin Ming's reply, Xiao Yi Xian snorted coldly, then turned and headed towards the bottom of the Stone Door without looking back.

"Buzzing..."

As Xiao Yi Xian pressed down on a protrusion at the bottom of the Stone Door, the heavy Stone Door slowly rose up with a sound.

As the Stone Door rose, a faint light shone out from behind it, dispelling the darkness in the surrounding area.

After the Stone Door was fully raised, Xiao Yi Xian smiled sweetly and said to Lin Ming, "Young Master Lin, please come in!"

Seeing the sudden change in Xiao Yi Xian's demeanor, Lin Ming immediately understood her ulterior motive, so he said, "Oh! Xiao Yi Xian, you've become so polite now. Are you worried about danger inside and want me to go in first to scout the way for you?"

"You, a Dou King Expert, how dare you ask a weak woman like me to scout the way for you?" Seeing Lin Ming reveal his thoughts, Xiao Yi Xian didn't feel embarrassed at all, but instead retorted.

Lin Ming couldn't bring himself to send a frail woman to scout ahead. Besides, according to Lin Ming senses, there was no danger behind the Stone Door. So, without further argument, Lin Ming said, "Alright, I'll scout ahead."

Seeing Lin Ming walk towards the Stone Door after speaking, Xiao Yi Xian didn't dare to delay and immediately followed behind Lin Ming into the Stone Door.

After stepping through the Stone Door, the view was no longer limited to the passage that could only accommodate two or three people.

The huge Stone Chamber appeared quite spacious. Many Moonlight Stone were inlaid on the walls of the Stone Chamber, filling Stone Chamber with soft light.

The closest thing to Lin Ming and Xiao Yi Xian in the Stone Chamber was a Blue Stone platform in front of them. On Blue Stone platform, three locked stone boxes were neatly arranged.

Ah~

"What are you doing now?" Lin Ming asked immediately after hearing Xiao Yi Xian scream again.

"There... there's a skeleton." After hearing Lin Ming's question, Xiao Yi Xian pointed to the spot in front of the Blue Stone platform and said.

"The person is dead, what's there to be afraid of in skeletons?" Lin Ming said disdainfully, looking at the skeleton on the chair in the center of the Stone Chamber, which was still in a sitting position but whose skull had fallen to the thigh bone.

Stone Chamber, besides the three stone boxes on the stone platform and the skeleton in the center, there were three piles of Gold Coin and other valuable treasures in the corners of the Stone Chamber. If all these Gold Coin and treasures were converted into Gold Coin, they would amount to at least several hundred thousand Gold Coin.

If the mercenaries of Green Mountain Town saw these Gold Coin and treasures, they would probably shout "We're rich!" immediately. But Lin Ming didn't care about this amount of money at all.

There were four corners, three of which were piled with Gold Coin and other valuables. The only corner closest to the inside, however, had no gold or white objects piled up; instead, it resembled a high platform made of dirt.

On this high platform of piled earth, many flowers and plants grow, filling this rather large Stone Chamber with a delicate fragrance.

Upon smelling the delicate fragrance, Xiao Yi Xian immediately turned her gaze to the flowers and plants.

Looking at the growing flowers and plants, Xiao Yi Xian's frightened face instantly turned into a beaming smile.

With a beaming smile, Xiao Yi Xian ignored any potential dangers lurking among the flowers and plants and ran towards the corner where they grew.

"I'll take the Ice Spirit Flame Grass in the middle, the rest are yours!" Lin Ming, who had already identified all the plants, immediately said as he watched Xiao Yi Xian run towards the flowers and plants.

When Xiao Yi Xian arrived at the flower garden, she was stunned when she heard Lin Ming immediately take the most precious Ice Spirit Flame Grass, which was alternating between white and red, from the very center of the garden. She cursed Lin Ming in her heart.

However, Xiao Yi Xian couldn't resist Lin Ming's decision even if she wanted to. So after a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Yi Xian had no choice but to start collecting the remaining herbs.

While Xiao Yi Xian was collecting medicinal herbs, Lin Ming also arrived at the skeleton.

"Senior, I apologize!" After saying apologetically to the skeleton, Lin Ming drew out one of the skeleton's arm bones in Lin Ming hand.

After removing the key from the arm bone and palm, Lin Ming applied slight force to the line connecting the palm bones, separating the palm bone from the entire arm bone, thus revealing the remaining map hidden at the connection line.

Looking at the revealed fragments of the map, Lin Ming could no longer hide his smile. After putting the fragments away, Lin Ming restored the entire arm bone and placed it back in its original position.

"Senior, I am grateful for your help in giving me a proper burial today. Consider this my way of repaying you!" A moment later, the skeleton had disappeared from the Stone Chamber, and a small mound of earth had appeared where the skeleton had been.

After Lin Ming buried the bones, the Xiao Yi Xian, who collected medicinal herbs, also finished collecting all the herbs.

Then, Xiao Yi Xian, who came to Lin Ming's side, reluctantly gave Lin Ming the most precious Ice Spirit Flame Grass among all the herbs.
