376: The remaining map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire

Lin Xiu bought it, preparing to give it to Little Fairy Doctor.

Since the Cultivation Alliance was established, Little Fairy Doctor has been in charge, and she also has to take care of Yi Nan.

She has indeed worked very hard, and the Poison Scripture happens to be something she is more interested in, which can also enhance her strength.

For a period of time after that, Lin Xiu did not make another move.

However, acquiring the Heavenly Nether Poison Canon with three Medicinal Pills of eight-grade with five-colored pill lightning.

Such a lavish display of wealth indeed drew many gazes towards Lin Xiu.

"Everyone, next up are two of the last items in this auction."

On the stage, Old Man Baoshan clenched his palm, and an ancient, yellowed piece of parchment appeared.

Instantly, Xiao Yan's face flushed, and his breathing became heavy.

It was a remnant map of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame!

Old Man Baoshan, with a smile, began to explain the origin of the map to everyone.

When those present learned that the map was related to the Purification Lotus Demon Flame, an uncontrollable uproar erupted.

The Purification Lotus Demon Flame, the third-ranked Strange Flame on the Strange Flame Ranking, a flame that almost only appears in legends, no one dared to underestimate its power.

"Everyone, the owner of the remnant map wants to exchange it for some Medicinal Pills, requiring a quality of at least six-colored pill lightning or higher."

Old Man Baoshan waited for everyone's emotions to calm down a bit before speaking slowly.

"Ten!"

Lin Xiu spoke directly; he had come specifically for this last map.

Whoosh!

Almost all eyes turned towards him.

Under the watchful gaze of the crowd, Lin Xiu's expression remained unchanged.

Xiao Yan, seeing this scene beside him, pursed his lips, thinking, 'Senior's life is truly what I've always dreamed of.'

Ten eight-grade Medicinal Pills with six-colored pill lightning—such a grand gesture is not easy to make.

Old Man Baoshan's face twitched slightly, and he looked at Lin Xiu, who was at the back of the crowd, with a rather surprised expression.

"Five eight-grade Medicinal Pills with seven-colored pill lightning!"

A somewhat fiery voice drowned out everyone's discussions.

"Five eight-grade with eight-colored pill lightning."

Lin Xiu said calmly.

"One eight-grade Medicinal Pill with nine-colored pill lightning."

A black-robed figure in front let out a sinister laugh, "Young man, can you offer a higher price than this?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiu's lips curled into a sneer; nine-grade Medicinal Pills were not uncommon to him.

However, just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Senior, don't bid, let him have it."

Xiao Yan spoke quickly, with urgency in his voice, "My teacher knows that person's identity. He said that with Senior's strength, you can obtain it even without spending Medicinal Pills. There's no need to benefit the owner of the remnant map."

Lin Xiu glanced at Yao Chen out of the corner of his eye, seeing confidence in his gaze as he nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Lin Xiu stopped bidding.

Exchanging a nine-grade Medicinal Pill for a remnant map was indeed a bit unworthy; being able to acquire it for free was clearly more appealing.

"I'll do him a favor. If I ask Lin Xiu to deal with those three guys later, it should be fine," Yao Chen thought.

He shifted his gaze, sweeping over the three black-robed figures sitting together.

Their lips, revealed due to successfully acquiring the remnant map, curved into a smug smile.

Little did they know, the remnant map had already become their death warrant.

After the transaction was completed, Old Man Baoshan spoke about the last item of the auction.

It was not a physical object, but a piece of news, a piece of news about the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

In the hall, an uproar resounded, stronger than at any previous moment.

This was because, among the legends about the Bodhi Ancient Tree, one stated that consuming it could lead to instant sainthood!

And the last news about the Bodhi Ancient Tree had to be traced back tens of thousands of years.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree has three treasures.

Consuming the Bodhi Heart, even with the worst Aptitude, there is a great chance to achieve instant sainthood.

And the bodhi seed can also increase the chance for a Peak Dou Zun to advance to a Dou Sheng.

Yao Chen and Xiao Yan, who had some prior knowledge, were now as excited as everyone else in the hall, standing up.

In the venue, only Lin Xiu and Medusa remained seated, unmoving like mountains.

Of the two, one was already a Dou Sheng and didn't care.

The other had activated the Nine-Colored Bloodline within her, making her achievement of Dou Sheng a certainty, so she didn't need it.

"Old Man Baoshan, where is the Bodhi Ancient Tree appearing?"

Someone asked.

Inside the main hall, everyone else instantly fell silent.

On the stage, being the focus of all eyes, Old Man Baoshan couldn't help but feel a rush of heat. Fortunately, he had already prepared to announce it for free, so he wasn't worried.

His smile remained, "The location where the Bodhi Ancient Tree will appear is not unfamiliar to everyone; it's in the Wild Ancient Domain on the northeastern border of Central Continent."

As he finished speaking, gasps of surprise erupted again.

However, some powerful individuals slowly sat back in their seats, their eyes showing hesitation.

The Wild Ancient Domain is considered one of the oldest places on the Dou Qi Continent, known as a Forbidden Ground for humans.

The ancient domain has harsh weather and pervasive poisonous miasma.

It is also filled with a large number of Vicious Beasts, most of which are ancient ferocious creatures.

These Vicious Beasts are bloodthirsty and violent; although they lack intelligence, their power is extremely terrifying.

Looking at the Demonic Beast world, even the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, which ranks among the top, dares not wander recklessly inside.

The only relatively deterrent force is the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

It was precisely knowing this that many powerful individuals in the venue became hesitant.

This was a journey that encompassed both crisis and Opportunity, with the crisis even far outweighing the Opportunity.

After Old Man Baoshan announced the location, he declared the gathering dismissed.

Everyone left one after another.

"Senior, just leave. Teacher said those three will actively seek you out."

In the crowd, Xiao Yan squeezed next to Lin Xiu, mentioned it, and then left.

Lin Xiu's eyes flickered, remembering this somewhat familiar plot, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

Little Fairy Doctor had mentioned earlier that the people who tried to kidnap Yi Nan seemed to be the so-called Scorpion Demon Three Ghosts... The ancient hall's door opened, and a group of people, mixed with many black-robed figures, walked out.

Among them, three figures walked together.

"Should we pursue?"

The speaker lifted his hood, revealing a young face.

Beside him, two other hoods were also lifted, revealing two gaunt, aged faces.

"We definitely have to pursue. Not to mention that kid might have other ancient maps of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame on him, just the woman next to him is not to be missed."

The gaunt old man scanned the two of them. His name was Heaven Scorpion, the eldest of the three. "Don't forget the motto of our Cloud Rain Sect."

The Cloud Rain Sect was one of many Sects in Central Continent, known for cultivating 'flesh cauldrons,' and it was an even more sinister School than the Tianming Sect.

Every year, the Sect would select a large number of female children with excellent Aptitude, cultivate them, and once they reached a certain strength and age, they would become the 'flesh cauldrons' for the three.

Through the Cloud Rain Sect's special Cultivation Technique, any woman who became a 'flesh cauldron' would rapidly age and die within ten days.

Another old man named Earth Scorpion licked his lips, "Indeed, that woman is extraordinary; she can even block my Soul Power."

"If that's the case, then let's hurry and catch up. Don't let those two get away."

The young man, Scorpion, who was led by the two, had no other objections once his elder and second elder agreed...

A strong wind whipped up yellow sand across the sky, and the scorching sun hung high.

Two dark shadows were cast upon the golden ground.

Medusa moved closer to Lin Xiu, "That feeling of being spied upon is back."

Hearing this, Lin Xiu simply stopped, his eyes slightly narrowed as he scanned the surrounding desert, "Come out, hiding is pointless."

A burst of laughter suddenly echoed.

The sunlight distorted, and three figures materialized out of the Void Realm.

"Kid, I saw you competing for the Purification Lotus Demon Flame ancient map earlier. Do you have other remnant maps on you?"

Heaven Scorpion's gaze was sinister.

"Are you referring to this?"

Lin Xiu raised his right palm, displaying several remnant maps.

He really has them?!

The eyes of the three people opposite instantly widened, filled with fervent desire.

"Big brother, if we get them all, we might be able to complete it!" Earth Scorpion's voice was filled with excitement.

"You're lucky, but unfortunately, you ran into us. Now, leave your naring, the maps, and that woman beside you, and I can be merciful and give you a way out."

Heaven Scorpion recovered his composure and looked at Lin Xiu with a cold smile.
