Chapter 32: The map of Heavenly Flame
A/N:
Guys, to celebrate that there are 5,000 people who took the time to place this story in their library, we will have double daily chapters, starting today until Friday!
---------------------------
"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.
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.
