Chapter 32: The map of the Heavenly Flame



Chapter 32: The map of the Heavenly Flame

"Hey, this big brother, you're here to buy a map, right? Then you've come to the right place, our Cartography Pavilion has maps of all the places in the Black-Corner Region, so you're sure to find the map you want here."

As soon as Xiao Ming entered the Cartography Pavilion, he had only glanced at the interior layout when a voluptuous woman, dressed in revealing clothes that only covered her important parts, approached him, her body writhing in a way that revealed all the light of spring.

She seemed extremely unconcerned about the situation and, as if noticing Xiao Ming's glance at her, she lifted her chest even higher.

When she reached Xiao Ming, she continued to smile and said, "This big brother, what map do you need, tell me and I will help you find it, otherwise, there are so many maps here, it is really hard for you to find them alone."

After saying this, she did not forget to show her figure.

Although this woman's clothing was unusually revealing, there were several other women in the Cartography Pavilion wearing the same style, and at a glance, it was clear that it was their uniform.

Each of these women had a low Dou Qi cultivation level, only around the first star Dou Practitioner.

It was thought that they must be the sales clerks that this Cartographic Pavilion had arranged to entertain the guests, or rather, they were the shopping guides.

For these women, not to mention that Xiao Ming was only eight years old now, even if he was old enough, he would not be interested in them.

Just now, this female guide thought she had caught his attention, but that was actually just Xiao Ming exploring whether she was dangerous to him.

After all, there was a saying in the Black-Corner Region that said to be wary of the women who lived here, right?

After all these days of experience, Xiao Ming actually still found this saying to be very true.

Therefore, whenever he saw a woman, Xiao Ming would be wary.

Now, seeing that she only cared about her tempting posture and did nothing different.

Xiao Ming also let his guard down a bit and said in a disguised husky voice, "That's right, I come to buy a map, is there any map of Great Plain of Black-Corner Region?"

"It is well known that Great Plain of Black-Corner Region is endless and there are black storms covering the sky from time to time, so ordinary maps are naturally ineffective there and only more elaborate maps are useful. The shopkeepers in the Great Plain of Black-Corner Region all have a copy of our maps in their hands."

The shopkeeper saw that the black-robed man in front of her was asking nothing but dry questions, and realized that he was not interested in her, so she let out a sigh of annoyance in her heart, but still smiled on the surface as she presented the map.

Although the person in front of her is not interested in her, which makes her unable to earn some extra money, but he is still a fat sheep.

The maps at the Cartography Pavilion were not cheap.

"Oh, get me one of the more detailed maps from your store."

As for this woman's boasting about the maps sold in her own store and her disdain for other stores, Xiao Ming had nothing to express.

Maps from this store may be good, but maps from other stores are not necessarily bad.

She was probably trying to raise the price by saying that.

When the sales clerk heard Xiao Ming's request, the smile on her face got a little bigger and she explained to Xiao Ming to wait for her at the counter before leaving.

A moment later, she returned to the side of the counter, now holding a white map in her hand.

"Here, this is the good map of the Great Plain of Black-Corner Region you asked for."

Taking the map from his hand, Xiao Ming slowly spread it out on the counter in front of him, only to see several lines crisscrossing the map, with small dots of various colors marked on top.

Some places were also marked with special small letters.

Xiao Ming nodded his head in satisfaction, "This map is really very well done, I will buy it, how much does it cost?".

"This map, four thousand gold coins." The woman beside the counter smiled and spoke.

"Four thousand gold coins? That's a bit of a stretch, isn't it?" The corner of Xiao Ming's mouth tightened under the black robe.

Four thousand gold coins for a map.

He was even being polite when he said it was a stretch.

This is a daylight robbery!

However, Xiao Ming thought it was so, but the sales clerk in front of him did not think so, after all, they were selling their merchandise at a specified price.

When he heard her say that, Xiao Ming turned his head to look at the nearest shelf and saw that the prices of the maps were all very high, and none of them were less than a thousand gold coins.

This time Xiao Ming was speechless. 'I was already saying how do these stores manage to stay open in this chaotic environment, each one selling such profitable things as stealing money, of course they can stay open.'

The Cartography Pavilion dared to sell things like that, and he believed other stores were similar to it, all selling things at high prices, otherwise the Cartography Pavilion would have closed long ago.

To be honest, it wasn't that Xiao Ming hadn't spent money in the Black-Corner Region, just like in Greenyan Town, he had passed by many other places.

Others also sold things at high prices, but not that high!

It was the first time he had seen a place like this.

"So, do you still want this map? If it seems expensive to you, we have a more abbreviated map for you to choose from, but it might have a limited role in the Great Plain of Black-Corner Region."

"I'll take this one."

There was no choice, everyone else had clearly marked their prices, and there was no price law on the Dou Qi continent.

If you wanted it, and you couldn't steal it by force, you naturally had to pay for it.

Luckily, Xiao Ming was not too poor, four thousand gold coins was no big deal.

The question was raised earlier only because he didn't want to be taken advantage of.

With this in mind, a black bag appeared in Xiao Ming's hand.

When he shook it, the bag emitted a metallic sound.

"Check it."

The guide took the bag in Xiao Ming's hand and counted it in front of him.

Soon she raised her head and said with a smile on her face, "Exactly four thousand gold coins."

Seeing that he had finished counting, Xiao Ming put the map in his storage ring, stood up and walked toward the exit.

But he didn't expect the shopping guide to shout, "Big brother, don't go away, our Cartography Pavilion has some other precious maps besides the Black-Corner Region maps, such as the maps of the territory of the powerhouses, the maps of the most treasured medicinal materials, the maps of the secret realms, and even the map of the Heavenly Flame, I wonder if you are interested."

"Did you say the Heavenly Flame map?"

Xiao Ming stopped his pacing, directly ignoring the other maps, and turned around in surprise.

"Heavenly Flame, yes, Heavenly Flame map."

"Do you know what a Heavenly Flame is?"

"Uh, Heavenly Flame... it's, it's Heavenly Flame...". As if she was stunned by Xiao Ming's question, the sales clerk answered somewhat stammeringly, as if she had been caught by the teacher in class to answer a question.

'What the hell, you don't even know what a Heavenly Flame is, and you're talking about a Heavenly Flame map. '

'Are you kidding me? '

'I thought I was in for a surprise, but I wasn't expecting this.'

Xiao Ming shook his head and turned to leave.

The guide felt a little aggrieved, her purpose of calling Xiao Ming was actually to sell the various remnant maps of the Cartography Pavilion.

In Dou Qi Continent, there were many such remnant maps, because Dou Qi Continent was rife with examples of people who had picked up a real map by mistake and followed it to obtain treasures left by powerful people, or to obtain some kind of treasure that would make them geniuses and elevate them to great heights.

It was because there were so many examples of success.

That is why, although there are many forgeries of such maps, there are still many people who are happy to spend large sums of money on remnant maps in the hope of one day also being able to obtain the legacy of a powerful person.

Apart from that, there are also many maps of medicinal herbs and precious minerals, as some of the medicinal herbs and caves of expensive minerals are located in complex environments filled with many magical beasts and dangers, so most of the maps to get there are very expensive and sought after.

The Cartography Pavilion, as a map seller, naturally had those maps as well, but of course, what the Cartography Pavilion sold was not necessarily real, even though they sold them as if they were.

The reason she called Xiao Ming was just to sell him these maps, but who knew she would be surprised by his question?

She really wasn't too sure what a Heavenly Flame was, but a Heavenly Flame map, the Cartography Pavilion really did have it.

Feeling a large pile of gold coins leaves her, she hurried to call Xiao Ming back.
