Chapter 12 You said you didn't want to sell it, but I didn't even plan to pay for it After flying for a while, the air suddenly became a little open the window of the box, Nie Yuan let the strong wind blow on his face. The white clouds quickly swept away, and the ground below was monotonous in color, all golden, and it was actually a desert made up of countless gravel. At the end of the distant sight, on the golden land, a city stands. "It's finally here..." Nie Yuan stretched his body. …… "Please take your time, sir." Amidst the respectful voices, Nie Yuan followed the crowd and landed from the flying monster to the ground. The ground was covered with a layer of gravel, and when you stepped on it, you would immediately sink into a hole. Nie Yuan took a deep breath, the hot air filled his lungs and the heat spread throughout his body.
"It's no wonder that few people would think of the Ice Emperor hiding in a place with such abundant fire energy." With emotion, Nie Yuan came to the street and asked someone at random. "The best shop selling maps in Mocheng is called Gutu. Go this way and turn left after three intersections and you will see it. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The shop owner, Master Bing, is a very strange person. Be careful." Driven by gold coins, he quickly got the location of the best store on the Mocheng map. The temperature in Mo City is much higher than that in Didu. Most of the men walking back and forth on the street were only wearing shorts, and the women were also dressed very coolly. The skin they exposed was a dark brown. …… In a corner of the street, there is a shop with a very simple exterior decoration, right next to the street. It is not like other shops that have all kinds of gorgeous signs. There are only two simple words on the plaque on the door frame of the shop. Ancient map. As soon as he got closer, Nie Yuan could clearly feel that the air here was a little cooler than other places. He stood on the street and looked up into the store, just in time to see a woman in a red dress and several burly men walking out. The woman in the red dress met Nie Yuan's gaze and was slightly stunned. What a handsome man! When did such a handsome man appear in Mocheng? Coming back to her senses, the woman in the red dress subconsciously asked, "Are you here to buy a map from Master Bing?" Nie Yuan nodded. The woman in the red dress first glanced into the room, then lowered her voice and said, "Master Bing is in a bad mood today. You'd better come back another day."
Behind the woman in the red dress, several strong men were seen carrying two figures wrapped in ice out of the store. "Thanks for reminding." Nie Yuan smiled slightly, but still walked towards the store with firm steps. "Miss……" The strong men carried the ice man and looked at the woman in the red dress. The woman in the red dress waved her hand and said, "You guys go ahead. I'll stay here and take a look." After saying that, she ignored them. The temperature in the store was a few degrees lower than outside, and some frost could be seen faintly dissipating on the ground. The walls on both sides are inlaid with moonstones, and the faint light shines on the shelves. Deep in the store, there is a counter with an old man with white hair sitting inside. Nie Yuan walked in, but the other party seemed to feel nothing and didn't even raise his head. Seeing this, Nie Yuan did not rush forward, but casually flipped through the maps on the shelf. Hai Bodong is a very cunning guy. After obtaining the remaining map of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire, he deliberately cut it into pieces and placed one of them on the shelf to fish. Because he had never seen it with his own eyes, Nie Yuan couldn't tell which one was the remaining picture of the Pure Lotus Demon Fire. Outside the store, the woman in the red dress saw Nie Yuan flipping through the maps casually, even throwing some directly to the ground, and her eyes widened. "What is he doing? Master Bing hates it most when people tamper with his things. It could cost lives!" The woman in the red dress exclaimed in her heart. Just as the thought flashed through her mind, the old man behind the counter seemed to have finished his work and slowly raised his head. On his wrinkled old face, there was a hideous scar from his left cheek to the corner of his eye. The old man had a peaceful look, but the scar added a bit of ferocity to him. He watched Nie Yuan's actions, a strange look flashed in his eyes, and an old voice came out, "If you want to buy a map, just tell me directly. If you don't want to buy it, don't touch it." Nie Yuan seemed not to hear and continued to move. In the shop, the temperature in the air suddenly dropped and a chill spread. A large piece of frost quietly emerged and quickly spread towards Nie Yuan's feet. "Found it, this should be it!" At this moment, Nie Yuan grabbed a very damaged map from a stack of maps. This map is out of tune with other old maps not only in terms of appearance. Moreover, there are obvious cutting marks on it.
It seems that the person who cut it is not strong enough, or the material of the map is too good. The segmentation marks appear a bit rough. The frost on the ground that was about to touch Nie Yuan's feet suddenly stopped and quickly retreated. The old man stood up from behind the counter and said, "Young man, do you recognize this map?" "do not know." Nie Yuan said without changing his expression. The old man was stunned for a moment, a look of confusion flashed across his face. I don't know you, what the hell are you yelling about?! There was a flash of anger in his eyes, "Put it down, that map is not for sale." "Huh, what a coincidence?" Nie Yuan’s words startled the old man. He wondered, "What's so coincidental?" "You said you didn't want to sell this map, but I didn't even plan to pay for it. What a coincidence." Nie Yuan held the incomplete picture in his hand and shook it towards the old man whose face was gradually becoming gloomy. "Boss, you should still have half of it, right?" "Who the hell are you?!" The old man pressed his palm down somewhere on the table, and suddenly a loud noise was heard in the shop. The shop door slammed shut. "Oh no! Master Bing even closed the door. That guy must be in danger." The clothes of the woman in the red dress were whistling in the wind, and the air was filled with dust, so she could only squint her eyes. Looking at the closed shop door, she stamped her feet. …… at the same time. A black figure quickly passed by on the golden desert surface. The spread wings are like the wings of a roc. The black shadow was getting closer and closer to the ground. When it was about to land, the purple-brown wings behind it suddenly retracted, and then it landed steadily on the ground. "Desert City..." Looking at the words on the city wall, he murmured softly. The figure was a young man wearing an alchemist's robe, carrying a strange weapon on his back that was as tall as a person and looked like a ruler.
"This is your last training ground. Go into the city first, get some supplies, and buy a map. Then we'll enter the desert and start." Xiao Yan heard his teacher's voice in his heart. He raised the Xuanzhong ruler and walked towards the city gate. With his identity as a pharmacist, Xiao Yan had a smooth journey. After entering the city. Xiao Yan grabbed a passerby and asked. When the other party saw the alchemist mark on his body, he did not dare to be negligent and answered his questions very cooperatively. "Teacher, I asked several people, and they all said that the best shop for making maps is called Gutu." Xiao Yan said in his heart. "Then let's go to Gutu's shop. The Tagor Desert is very large, and a precise map can save you a lot of trouble." Yao Chen answered. (End of this chapter)
