The Demonic Flame Remnant Map

"Hehe, next, we'll continue with the auction of the second item."

After achieving a successful start, the Old Man Baoshan's smile deepened. With a wave of his hand, another object appeared before him—a pale blue scroll.

"Azure Jade Treasure Body, Low Heaven Tier Dou Technique. This Dou Technique is the signature Dou Technique of the Azure Jade Saint thousands of years ago. If one can cultivate it to its peak, one's body will be like azure jade, protected by a precious light, immune to all poisons, and with a single punch, the heavens and earth will collapse. It is a powerful Dou Technique that strengthens the physical body and integrates offense and defense."

After listening to the Old Man Baoshan's introduction, a strange look flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes. This Azure Jade Treasure Body sounded similar to the Vajra Glazed Body in terms of its ecological niche, but since it could reach the Heaven Tier, its power must be extraordinary.

However, Xiao Yan wasn't very interested in this thing. He already had some ideas about the next direction of his Great Sun Separation Fire Body cultivation. Besides, his physical strength was already sufficient, so he didn't need to learn any other Dou Technique.

Therefore, Xiao Yan didn't bother to get involved in the bidding for the Azure Jade Treasure Body. However, the bidders at this Space Trade Fair were indeed all very wealthy, with a total of five people willing to exchange Low Heaven Tier Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills for it.

Those without Heaven Tier Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills tried trading this item for pills. After all, compared to the previous Soul Infant Fruit, this Low Heaven Tier Dou Technique was more universal and had a better potential customer base.

Unfortunately, among the many items auctioned afterward, Xiao Yan did not encounter any Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills that suited his taste. He only managed to acquire a few extremely rare medicinal herbs. As for the Heaven Tier cultivation techniques and Dou Technique that were supposed to appear at the next trade fair, they were clearly not going to be available at this fair.

This left Xiao Yan somewhat frustrated; if that were the case, then finding information about the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame would likely be very difficult this time.

This rare and unpredictable situation truly left Xiao Yan helpless.

However, when the penultimate and final item was taken out by the Old Man Baoshan, Xiao Yan's gaze immediately became incredibly fervent.

It was a yellowed, ancient piece of parchment. Others might not be familiar with it, but Xiao Yan was intimately familiar with this Fragmented Map that haunted his dreams.

"Hehe, although this is just a Fragmented Map and doesn't contain any special energy, after our research, we've concluded that this Fragmented Map is related to the legendary Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!"

The Old Man Baoshan held up the ancient, Fragmented Map in his hands and said with a faint smile.

As he uttered his last word, almost everyone in the hall focused their attention on the ancient, Fragmented Map.

The Purifying Lotus Demon Flame ranks third on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

Everyone present was well aware of just how valuable this item was.

Aside from the Nihility Devouring Flame, which has almost never appeared on the mainland, and the mysterious flame ranked number one that most people don't even know the name of, it can be said that the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is the number one Heavenly Flames with verifiable battle records on the Dou Qi Continent.

This is because the previous owner of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame was the peerless powerhouse known as the one closest to becoming Dou Emperor in that era, the Purifying Lotus Demon Saint!

This Purifying Lotus Demon Flame represents a terrifying power capable of destroying the world. If someone were to control it, becoming the strongest person on the continent would no longer be a distant dream, but a real possibility with a slim chance of success.

In a sense, the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame is the most destructive force that can be controlled by humans on this Dou Qi Continent!

Looking at the hall, which was now completely silent due to the news of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, Old Man Baoshan had a beaming smile on his face. He knew very well the attraction of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame to everyone, which was why he had put up this Fragmented Map as the grand finale.

Inside the main hall, countless intense gazes were fixed on the ancient Fragmented Map of the map. Everyone present was no ordinary person, and they were naturally extremely interested in the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame!

These people had only heard of the legendary Purifying Lotus Demon Flame and knew little about it; in fact, they knew nothing about it except for its Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Yet, they still coveted Purifying Lotus Demon Flame immensely.

Some even have the ambition to obtain the Fragmented Map, decipher the information about the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame from it, and then follow the clues to find it. If they are lucky enough to succeed, becoming the second Purifying Lotus Demon Saint is not impossible.

Seeing the intense gazes of the crowd, Xiao Yan secretly curled his lip.

A bunch of fools who don't know their own mortality. Even as the Legendary Fire-Resistant King, he would never dare to mess with the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame before he becomes Dou Sheng. Among the powerful figures present, there are indeed some Half-Saint level beings, but these lowly creatures would probably be reduced to ashes before they even get close to the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame.

You can't handle this Fragmented Map; let me, the master, do it!

Hehehe!

"The owner of this Fragmented Map wishes to exchange it for some pills, at least of the quality of Six-Colored Pill Lightning or higher. The starting bid is three grade Eighth-Grade Pill of Six-Colored Pill Lightning." The Old Man Baoshan swept his gaze across the room and said with a smile, "The bidding will now begin, everyone please proceed."

Although many people had used up their reserves of pills in the previous auction, there were still some people with substantial wealth, or those who hadn't used up too many pill resources for various reasons, and they were all now eyeing the prize.

Soon, an aged voice rang out. "Three Eighth-Grade Pill containing Six-Colored Pill Lightning."

Immediately afterward, someone else shouted, "Four Eighth-Grade Pill of Six-Colored Pill Lightning!"

I'll put up five...

Inside the main hall, the voices of bidders rose and fell in a continuous stream, and the atmosphere quickly became extremely heated. As a result, the price of the Fragmented Map skyrocketed as if it had taken off on a rocket.

Everyone knows that the value of a single Fragmented Map is far from justifying such a high price, but what if...?

If we could get our hands on the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, it would be worth going bankrupt right now!

Xiao Yan wasn't in a hurry. This time, he prepared five Grade Eighth-Grade Pill of Nine-Colored Pill Lightning for the possible appearance of this Fragmented Map. Four of them were refined by him when he was cultivating in the Danta, and the other one was a gift from his mother, Xuan Yi.

The Old Yao also had three Rank 8 Nine-Colored Pill Lightning Eighth-Grade Pill he had casually refined while practicing after his resurrection. In terms of pill reserves, how many people on the entire continent could compare to the combined efforts of him and his family?

Xiao Yan, who had an absolute advantage, simply watched quietly, waiting for others to make bids.

The bidding price, amidst the cacophony of shouts, rapidly climbed to the exorbitant level of nine grade Six-Colored Pill Lightning Eighth-Grade Pill.

However, by this point, many people were too exhausted to continue taking photos and could only retreat to their seats with regret, as if they had missed a tremendous opportunity.

In reality, they were given a second chance at life.

After all, as the Dou Qi Continent, Xiao Yan naturally had to obtain the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame. Anyone who dared to compete with him would be destroying the future of the Dou Qi Continent!

If they are willing to make a peaceful deal with Xiao Yan, that's fine; if not, Xiao Yan wouldn't mind creating another Heavenly Demon Puppet.

"Six grade Eighth-Grade Pill containing Seven-Colored Pill Lightning bolts."

Prices surged again.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found a person also wearing a black cloak, from whom nothing could be seen.

Nine.

Xiao Yan finally started making his bid.

Upon hearing this, many people looked at Xiao Yan with surprise and uncertainty.

Because of Xiao Yan's extraordinary control over Spatial Strength when he won the first item in the auction, the Gold-Grade Soul Infant Fruit, they all had a deep impression of him.

However, Xiao Yan kept a low profile during the subsequent auction, only auctioning off some rare medicinal herbs.

It was not difficult for anyone to see from this that Xiao Yan must be a highly skilled Eighth-Grade Alchemy Grandmaster.

However, their extravagant gesture of directly adding three seventh-grade Seven-Colored Seven-Colored Pill Lightning Eighth-Grade Pill to the price still shocked them somewhat.

"Hmph." Seeing Xiao Yan make a move to snatch it, the person who had bid earlier snorted coldly, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and shouted again, "One Eight-Colored Pill Lightning Eighth-Grade Pill!"

Upon hearing this, many people were completely put on hold and decided to watch the show unfold.

Even a Ninth-Turn Peak Dou Zun would probably not be willing to spend such a high price to buy such a Fragmented Map.

Nine.

Xiao Yan continued to push the price to the maximum, his tone incredibly assertive, conveying an air of absolute certainty.

Upon hearing Xiao Yan's outrageously generous offer, everyone present stared at him in shock.

This is absolutely outrageous!

A Fragmented Map, and nine Eight-Colored Pill Lightning Eighth-Grade Pill?

Xiao Yan's audacious bid undoubtedly shocked everyone. The bidders who had previously tried to compete fell silent, cursing him as a madman in their hearts, and remained silent.

Xiao Yan crossed his arms and sat casually in a half-lotus position, leaning back in his chair. His relaxed, confident demeanor made everyone feel powerless.

Damn it, where did this rich bastard come from?

Everyone has this thought in their mind.

However, just when everyone thought that Xiao Yan was about to acquire the Fragmented Map at an astonishing price, a figure whose gaunt physique was still barely concealed by a cloak suddenly spoke indifferently.

"An Eighth-Grade Pill made of Nine-Colored Pill Lightning."

Wow!

Upon seeing that this person had actually taken out a pill of the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning level, everyone present gasped in astonishment, feeling both envious and envious.

Many of them had never even seen Eighth-Grade Pill made from the Nine-Colored Pill Lightning.

I've really seen something new today!

Just as Xiao Yan was about to offer a Nine-Colored Pill Lightning of Eighth-Grade Pill plus an Eight-Colored Pill Lightning of Eighth-Grade Pill, Old Yao Xiao Yan stopped him.

Because Xiao Yan had just used high-precision modeling to open the boxes of everyone here, Old Yao knew who this person was as soon as that reckless fellow spoke.

Although Xiao Yan didn't lack a few pills, why spend the money if he could get them for free?

Buying things is nowhere near as fast as robbing someone.

What's more, this was his old enemy. He never expected that even though he participated in this Space Trade Fair a year early, he would still encounter the same situation as in the original story.

In Xiao Yan's words, could this be considered a correction to the timeline?

Fine, since they're courting death, let's just go along with it.

"That's it. Some things can't be avoided."

The Old Yao spoke softly to Xiao Yan.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan immediately understood.

Are they really those three reckless fools?

That would save them from indiscriminately killing innocent people; those three truly deserved their deaths!

Having made up his mind, Xiao Yan stopped raising the price and chuckled, saying:

"You seem to have considerable wealth. In that case, this Fragmented Map is yours."

A mocking laugh echoed through the Space Trade Fair, and everyone who heard it turned strange.

So, this guy is just inflating the price of his own stuff?

Damn, that's so unruly!

The Heavenly Scorpion who made the bid also looked extremely ugly. This bastard was deliberately trying to scam him?

"Mr. Baoshan, is this how unruly your Space Trade Fair is?"

Heavenly Scorpion, suppressing his anger, could no longer hold back and stood up to question him.

"Oh, so you're questioning the credibility of our Three Great Sects? That gentleman wasn't the one who consigned this Fragmented Map. If you feel you've been cheated, you can withdraw from the auction."

Old Man Baoshan was no kind old man. Seeing that Heavenly Scorpion dared to question the credibility of the Three Great Sects' joint hosting of the Space Trade Fair, he naturally could no longer communicate with him in a pleasant manner.

"Oh, I'm sorry to have troubled Senior Baoshan. I didn't explain clearly earlier. Let me clarify: Heavenly Scorpion, you can photograph this Fragmented Map, but you can't take it with you. If you don't believe me, you might as well try and see if you can return to the sect alive."

Xiao Yan grinned and opened the box containing the Heavenly Scorpion.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yan directly reveal his identity, Heavenly Scorpion was both shocked and furious, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan ignored him completely and remained seated without moving.

"Don't worry, Senior Baoshan, I won't make a move on your turf. However, I have a personal grudge against this old dog; his reputation is worth less than the sole of my shoe."

Xiao Flame Master to manipulate people's mentality; he just made a few jokes and opened a box, so it didn't really break the rules of the trade fair.

After all, while snatching auction items is not allowed at the Space Trade Fair, whether or not one can protect the auction items after the transaction is completed is another matter entirely.

As for whether Xiao Yan's provocation constitutes a violation of the rules...

The Old Man Baoshan isn't stupid; he wouldn't be polite to ordinary people who dare to be picky about food.

But this impetuous young nobleman was clearly no ordinary person.

After all, although the other party was arrogant, his strength was undeniable. The fact that he was willing to call him "senior" and openly express his attitude was already a great honor.

He was a veteran powerhouse, so he naturally knew the saying that there were always people stronger than him and heavens beyond heavens. For someone so young to be suspected of becoming Half-Saint, the only possible force behind him was those Seven Colossal Powers.

Before those Seven Colossal Powers, let alone their Three Great Sects, even if all the sects present were combined, they probably wouldn't be enough to defeat them.

For such a noble young master to condescend to call him "senior" is already a great honor; how could he possibly be ungrateful?

Rules are nothing compared to life!

"We will not restrict our guests' freedom of speech, but friend, if you dare to make a move on the territory of our Three Great Sects, it will absolutely not be allowed. Whatever your grievances, please settle them privately."

The Old Man Baoshan wholeheartedly took a side stance.

"What you say is absolutely right, senior."

Xiao Yan nodded slightly, still leaning back in his chair, looking relaxed and content.

"Snort!"

Heavenly Scorpion could only suppress his anger and toss the Eighth-Grade Pill Nine-Colored Pill Lightning to Old Man Baoshan, thus completing the auction.

But at this moment, he felt no joy whatsoever. He didn't even glance at the Fragmented Map; he just stared intently at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan completely ignored him, took Hua Yu's hand and whispered to her again. They were clearly chatting and laughing, showing no regard for Heavenly Scorpion at all, which really infuriated Heavenly Scorpion.
