Following the slight throbbing of the blue flame on Lin City's fingertips, the patterns and words on the leather scroll quickly appeared. When the scroll was completely filled with patterns, Lin City and Zhu Ziquan could finally see it clearly.
On the back of the leather scroll, there really was a map!
Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziquan looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.
A map left behind by a cultivator. Without a doubt, no matter which direction the map pointed to, this map alone would have a great value.
Besides, with the map's strict and concealed drawing method, they were almost certain that the thing the map pointed to was something extraordinary.
Maybe it was nothing for those powerful cultivators, but for these two little warriors who had not even reached the Danhai Realm, the map was definitely not referring to ordinary people!
"Now I finally understand why such a high grade jade box is needed to preserve such a scroll. It turns out that the purpose of this senior cultivator was not to preserve his cultivation technique, but to preserve this map!"
Zhu Ziyang couldn't help but say: "The scroll can be stored here for a very long time, but this map might not be necessarily the same, especially when drawn using this special technique. If it isn't properly preserved, the map might dissipate very soon."
Lin Cheng nodded his head in agreement. Indeed, if it was to preserve the cultivation technique, it could be copied onto any piece of paper. Furthermore, with the material of the leather scroll and the special method used by that cultivator to refine it, it would be able to preserve for hundreds or even thousands of years.
As a result, whether or not the leather scroll was placed in a jade box and whether or not the jade box was made from superior material wasn't that important.
What the cultivator truly wanted to protect was the map inscribed on the back of the leather scroll with a special technique.
"Since a cultivator values the map so much, then the item recorded on the map must be extraordinary." Lin City's gaze once again fell on the leather scroll and stared at it in detail.
"However, this map did not mention what exactly it is. Little thief, do you think that this is a dangerous place that was marked by that senior cultivator?" Zhu Ziquan asked suspiciously.
"I don't think so!"
Lin Cheng shook his head and replied, "If it's a dangerous place, there's no need to mark it this way, or even mark it on the map. All you need to know is that a certain location is dangerous, just try to avoid it as much as possible. "Moreover, the memory of a cultivator is not something that an ordinary martial artist can compare with. Normally, there is no need to draw a map.
Saying that, he muttered to himself, "My guess is that the cultivator senior likely found something somewhere, but for some reason, he was unable to take it away, such as having a serious injury, or to prevent his enemies from discovering it. That's why he used this special technique to draw on the map and to disguise it as a cultivation technique."
Zhui Ziquan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Unfortunately, the map isn't marked on it. Little thief, what do you think it is?"
Lin Cheng shook his head and smiled, "How could I have guessed it? However, the terrain marked on the map seems somewhat familiar to me."
"Oh?"
Bamboo Fork was stunned and then said, "Maybe it's the place you've been to before. Little thief, look carefully and see if you can recognize it!"
Lin City stared at the map and frowned slightly. He did indeed feel a sense of familiarity with the terrain marked on the map, as if he had been here before. However, after thinking about it carefully, he could not find any clues.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lin City's gaze froze. He saw two small words on the map — — Star Gauze!
"Little thief, what did you find?" Bamboo Fork saw the change in Lin City's expression and could not help but ask.
"The city marked on this map is where I came from!" Lin Cheng couldn't help but be slightly stunned. He turned his head to look at Zhu Ziyang and said, "Girl, what is marked on this map is the Star Gauze Country of the Eastern Region. I came from the Star Gauze Country!"
Bamboo Shoot couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He then said happily, "Such a coincidence? "Little thief, it seems that you really are destined for this. This map has been in Wen Zhongming's hands for so many years, yet he still hasn't discovered the secret behind it. Now, not only have we found the map, you yourself came from that place …" The thing that this map refers to is fated to be yours! "
Lin Cheng waved his hand and smiled, "This is just a coincidence. Moreover, the item mentioned on the map is not necessarily a treasure. Who knows, there might be danger. The good fortune and disaster are still unknown!"
Bamboo Fork hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Little thief, then we …" Do you want to go? "
Lin Cheng pondered for a moment, then he raised his head and said, "Girl, the path of cultivation is a path of risk, so I plan to go and take a look. Even if I meet with danger, there is nothing to regret!"
"I'll go with you!"
Just as Lin City's voice fell, Bamboo Pea blurted out without the slightest hesitation.
"Alright."
Lin Cheng looked at her and smiled.
If it were possible, Lin City would have preferred to live in seclusion in a secluded place with the bamboo stick sticking in the air.
Unfortunately, he was still unable to do so.
Because there were things that he had to do … At the very least, he couldn't remain indifferent and pretend that he didn't know after finding out that Zuo Mu was still alive.
Betrayed by the people he trusted the most, and even forced to perish together with him. Unless he personally killed Zuo Mu, the anger and hatred in Lin City's heart would never dissipate.
However, killing Zuo Mu was easier said than done.
Leaving aside the fact that after these hundred years of time, even though Zuo Mu's talent was already quite good, after consuming the Essence Purification Pill, just his status as an elder of the Myriad Sword Sect alone would be enough for him to not even have the chance to escape with a single sentence.
In fact, even if he was lucky enough to escape, there would no longer be a place for him in the vast Eastern Region!
However, with his current strength, wanting to cross over the borders of the Eastern Region and leave the Eastern Region was much harder than obtaining the Azure Flame. It was practically hopeless!
Therefore, the only thing he could do now was to seize any opportunity and desperately increase his own strength.
Strength!
Strength!
Only with a strong enough cultivation would he be able to make himself unafraid of the threat of this suffocating figure of the Myriad Sword Sect. Only then would he have the chance to kill this ungrateful villain with his own hands!
Thus, even though he still didn't know what the map on the leather scroll was referring to, Lin City didn't want to miss it.
Of course, there were also times when Lin Cheng had some regrets. Since he had been reborn, why hadn't he been reborn into a great sect? If that was the case, then he would have been able to obtain cultivation methods, pills, and other resources that countless of people dreamed of.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind and then disappeared without a trace.
The heavens had given him a chance to live again. If he asked for more, he would be punished by the heavens!
Without resources, he would fight for it, explore it, and go to a dangerous place that no one else dared to go to. That place would definitely be filled with countless heavenly resources.
It was just like the Forbidden Land of Boundless Forest. Not only was there the Azure Fire, there was also the cold pond that made one's scalp tingle. Lin City was almost certain that there was a strange object underneath the pond.
Without a cultivation technique, he had to think of a way to find it. There was always a chance for him to survive!
This path was destined to be very difficult. However, looking at the great achievements of the Supreme Elders, many of them had started off as mere martial artists, and their names would eventually shake the world.
Lin City admitted that although he couldn't compare up to those elders, he would at least be on par with Zuo Mu.
"There will be a day when I will kill the Myriad Sword Sect and personally kill you!" Lin Cheng looked at the direction of the Myriad Sword Sect with determination.
Time quietly passed. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
On this day, on a considerably small path, two riders were walking by at a moderate pace. Sitting on their horses were two people. They were Lin City and Zhu Ziquan.
"Little thief, according to the people at the relay station, we shouldn't be far from the Star Luo Country, right?" Zhu Zifu asked.
"Ugh!" Not far from there should be the Stargaze Nation Realm. We should be able to reach the Dongluo City in about six or seven days. " After a careful examination, he nodded and said.
"I wonder if the Lin Family member will regret doing anything to you when he sees you and finds out that you are already at the ninth level of the Arterial Circulation Realm!" Bamboo wrinkled its nose and snorted.
On the way here, Lin City told him about his background and what happened to him in the Star Luo Country. Of course, he did not mention anything about his rebirth to the original Pill King Lin City, but even so, Zhu Ziquan was still very unhappy.
Especially after hearing about Lin City being treated like that by the Lin Clan, being secretly murdered, and even being hunted down, Zhu Ziyang was extremely angry. He wished that he could kill Tan Yulan and her son with a single sword.
Lin Cheng shook his head and laughed, "How would they feel? I have never been interested. However, there is an old friend of mine in Dongluo City who would like to pay a visit to him after entering the city."
Lin City also didn't expect that the location indicated on the map would be the Star Gauze Kingdom. To be more accurate, the starting point of this map was the Star Gauze Country, and the destination was the Great Luo Mountain Range, which was located hundreds of miles away from the Star Gauze Country.
Lin City was not very familiar with the Great Luo Mountain Range even though Lin Luo was from nearby the Great Luo Mountain Range. It was only because this body had previously entered the Great Luo Mountain Range that Lin City felt that the map was a little familiar.
As a result, Lin City still decided to follow the route indicated on the map and went to the Star Luo Country.
The closest route from Ci City to Star Luo Country was to pass by Dongluo City, which was the home of the new body that he had reincarnated into.
