Xiao Yan suddenly remembered. Wasn't this like the fragment of a map he had found when he explored the cave with Xiao Yi Xian?
When he and Xiao Yi Xian had entered the cave, Xiao Yan had accidentally snapped off the skeleton's arm while searching for a key.
That had led him to discover the incomplete treasure map he now kept hidden away. And this fragment on the floor matched the one he had obtained, both in material and content.
Back at the Bamboo Lodge, Xiao Yan had asked Sheng'er about it. She had only told him that it seemed to be an incomplete Ancient Treasure Map, one that held the secret of a powerful heavenly flame.
Sheng'er had not explained the details. She had merely said that when Xiao Yan had the strength to see her again, she would tell him the secret of the Ancient Treasure Map.
Xiao Yan knew she was afraid he would venture into danger before he was strong enough, recklessly charging in and putting himself at risk, so he had not pressed her further. [At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain: for reading novels, visit . It's extremely useful.]
But now that he had found a second fragment, how could Xiao Yan not be tempted?
After all, even Sheng'er had acknowledged this thing as a treasure and told Xiao Yan to keep it safe. If even she valued it so highly, its origins were certainly extraordinary.
Xiao Yan glanced at the old man beside him, who was absorbed in drawing a map, and decided to try fishing in troubled waters.
He picked out several maps of the Tagor Desert and put the fragment among them, intending to buy the whole lot outright.
"Sir, these are the maps I'd like to buy.
