Now that Yuan Yi was not at Black Seal City, Xiao Ming was no longer thinking of making any move.

Stopping his thoughts, Xiao Ming looked at the Amethyst Winged Lion King in front of him, as well as Xiao Yi Xian and the other girls beside him.

"Wait here for a moment, I'm going inside to buy something."

The Amethyst Winged Lion King and the girls nodded at his words.

Seeing this, Xiao Ming ignored the eyes with different emotions coming from the street and entered through the doors of the Cartography Pavilion.

On the street, the Amethyst Winged Lion King saw Xiao Ming's back disappear and fiercely emitted its aura to the surroundings.

In an instant, the various sneak peeks disappeared without a trace.

'Hehe, a bunch of trash dares to look at this king?' Seeing this, the Amethyst Winged Lion King said inwardly with disdain. In the past, it would have killed all those people who dared to look at it, but now, without Xiao Ming's orders, it didn't dare to do anything rashly.

Inside the Cartography Pavilion, the female sales clerks, who were huddled in a corner, saw Xiao Ming with fearful yet curious eyes, some had heated looks in their eyes, even showing more skin, seeking to get his attention.

Administrator Bai, who was among the sales clerks, whom Xiao Ming had once met, could not stop his legs from trembling as he looked at Xiao Ming, who had entered the Cartography Pavilion.

Administrator Bai was in a panic, he had just witnessed through the door the scene where this man commanded a sixth-rank magical beast, he did not know why such a powerful man, capable of taming a sixth-rank magical beast, had come to his little store.

However, at this moment, he was the one in charge of the pavilion, so although he was a bit shy, he still approached Xiao Ming and showed a flattering smile.

"Greetings Your Excellency, I wonder if there is anything I can do for you on your visit to our little store."

"You..." Xiao Ming had just spoken when Zi Yan walked through the door and came directly to his side.

"Xiao Ming, it's too boring outside, I've come to keep you company." Holding Xiao Ming's hand, Zi Yan scanned the place until her eyes stopped on the group of sales clerks for a moment, then she lifted her little head and looked at Xiao Ming, blinking her big purple eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Ming smiled and stroked her little head, without saying anything, then turned his head towards Administrator Bai and continued speaking.

"You are... Administrator Bai, am I right?"

Xiao Ming's memory had always been good, seven years ago, he had once obtained a Nether Poison Flame Remnant Map here, and he still had a small impression of Administrator Bai who was talking to him right now.

He not only remembered Administrator Bai, but also the scantily clad sales clerk, who was one of the sales clerks huddled in a corner, looking at him.

Xiao Ming had an impression of Administrator Bai, but Administrator Bai had no impression of him, after all, Xiao Ming was dressed in black robes at that time.

So, after hearing Xiao Ming say his surname, Administrator Bai was surprised and asked in a somewhat trembling tone.

"This... little one is indeed surnamed Bai."

Looking at Administrator Bai's overly frightened look, Xiao Ming understood what he was thinking.

The Black-Corner Region was incredibly chaotic, and almost everyone who mingled here had at least one human life on their backs, and when a stranger came to the door and said one's name, nine times out of ten it wouldn't be good news.

It was no wonder this Administrator Bai was a little scared.

Xiao Ming did not bother to say much to Administrator Bai and directly said, "I heard that you have a Heavenly Flame Remnant Map here, I will buy it, take it out."

Hearing this, Administrator Bai let out a sigh of relief and felt his legs no longer trembling so much.

He wiped the fake sweat from his head, "So Your Excellency is looking for the Heavenly Flame Remnant Map, we have it here, I'll get it out right away."

With that, Administrator Bai ran to one of the side doors.

Only a moment later, Administrator Bai ran out again, sweating profusely.

Only when he arrived in front of Xiao Ming did he stop and respectfully handed him a map with both hands.

"This is the Heavenly Flame Remnant Map that Your Excellency wants".

Xiao Ming glanced at it and did not take it, as he checked that what Administrator Bai had brought out was the Remnant Map of the Nether Poison Flame, and said with a frown, "Not this one."

"Not this one?" Administrator Bai felt embarrassed by his words.

This was the only Heavenly Flame Remnant Map they sold here.

Only this map had been sold twice, so hadn't this person heard about it somewhere and come looking for it?

There was a powerful person who could crush him to death purchasing things from him, when he brought what he thought the person wanted, it was not what the person was looking for, now what could he do?

Administrator Bai didn't know what to do, and stammered for half a day before carefully saying, "Your Excellency, our Cartography Pavilion only has this Remnant Map..."

Looking at Administrator Bai's sweaty face, afraid that he would kill him at the first word, Xiao Ming suddenly thought of something.

There was a high probability that these people would not recognize the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame Remnant Map as a Heavenly Flame Remnant Map, he had been thinking about obtaining the Heavenly Flame Remnant Map before, and had asked for it directly.

Understanding where his mistake had been, Xiao Ming spoke again, "Since there are no other Heavenly Flame Remnant Maps, then bring me all the old maps from your store."

"Move quickly, or I'll tear down your nasty little store!" At Xiao Ming's side, Zi Yan backed his words as her small body leaned on his arm, her eyes glaring in disgust at the group of scantily clad sales clerks.

Although Zi Yan looked delicate and cute, there was no one in the Cartography Pavilion who did not take her words seriously.

Many of the female sales clerks, seeing Zi Yan's eyes looking at them with disgust, could not prevent their legs from faltering, making them fall to the ground on their buttocks, not daring to turn to look at the handsome young man again.

Hearing this threat, Administrator Bai hastily nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, "Your Excellencies, wait a moment, I'll be right back."

"And you pile of shameless women, stop soiling His Excellency's sight."

After chasing the female sales clerks out of the room, Administrator Bai smiled flatteringly at Zi Yan and then re-entered through the same side door as before.

A moment later, Administrator Bai came out again.

He approached Xiao Ming, who was already seated next to the table, and with a wave of his hands, a white light shone.

In the blink of an eye, a stack of Remnant Maps over half a meter high appeared on the table.

"Your Excellency, these are all the Remnant Maps in this store." Administrator Bai said with a nod and a bow.

Xiao Ming nodded softly, his eyes slowly scanning the pile of maps, and with a wave of his hand, he pulled out a piece of tattered and torn ancient cloth from them.

Unfolding the tattered map, those familiar traces appeared under Xiao Ming's gaze.

'Hehe, another fragment in hand, only the last one is missing, but that one is a bit hard to find...' thought Xiao Ming.

The exact possessor of the last Remnant Map of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame was unknown, but its cultivation level was definitely higher than his current one, and it also knew the true value of the Remnant Map.

The last one would be the hardest to obtain of all the fragments.

Xiao Ming also didn't ask how much this map cost and put it directly into his Star Ring.

He then took out a purple card from it and threw it on the table.

"There are 200,000 gold coins here, is it enough to buy one of your maps?"

"That's enough." Administrator Bai picked up the card and said with a flattering smile, he couldn't say it wasn't enough, even if it really wasn't.

Xiao Ming had already exceeded his expectations by paying for the map, and had even given him 200,000 gold coins, wouldn't it be too stupid of him to say it wasn't enough?

As he watched Administrator Bai quickly put away the deposit card.

Xiao Ming stood up and walked out of the Mapping Pavilion hand in hand with Zi Yan.
