Doupo: Life Simulator System

Chapter 33: Nether Poison Flame

"Hey, don't go yet, although I don't know what a Heavenly Flame is, but our Cartography Pavilion actually has a map about the Heavenly Flame, I once overheard a conversation from the head of the Pavilion and they talked about that map."

"If you want to take a look at it, I can help you request it and get it out of the Remnant Gallery."

Seeing that she was speaking sincerely, not as if she wasn't lying, Xiao Ming hesitated.

To be honest, the probability that this Heavenly Flame map was real was too low.

After all, if it was real, it would have been sent to the Eight Gates' annual auction long ago, instead of being left in the Cartography Pavilion's storage room to eat dust.

There were quite a few alchemists in the Black-Corner Region, and with the degree of obsession the alchemists had with the Heavenly Flames, it wouldn't be a concern to sell this map.

But what was the situation now? A female guide wanted to sell this map, and judging by her ability to sell it, she must have done this sort of thing before.

But the fact that the map was still here was very telling.

Either they had duplicated many copies of this map, or it was badly mutilated, or it was simply a fake map.

So Xiao Ming was a bit disinterested, but it was nothing to take a look since he was idle.

Thus Xiao Ming agreed to the sales clerk's request.

Seeing that Xiao Ming was willing to stay and have a look around, the sales clerk was enthusiastic.

After giving an explanation, she hurried to leave.

Xiao Ming returned to the counter and looked for a chair to sit down.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, just as Xiao Ming was getting a little impatient and thinking about leaving, the woman hurriedly ran from backstage toward Xiao Ming.

She was also followed by a smiling and kindly old man.

"Sorry, this big brother, for keeping you waiting."

"It's okay, this is...?"

Seeing that Xiao Ming didn't care but looked at the elder behind her, the woman was about to introduce him when she heard the elder speak.

"Oh, I think this is the gentleman who wants to buy the Heavenly Flame map, I am the Administrator of the Map Making Pavilion, you can call me Administrator Bai, the matter of Heavenly Flame map is in my charge."

Seeing this, the interrupted guide had to shut up and retreat to the side, leaving room for the two of them.

Xiao Ming glanced at the old man who called himself Administrator Bai, his soul power sensed that his strength was not as high as his own, and he didn't care much.

Anyway, he just wanted to see the map, and there was nothing wrong with there being an extra Administrator Bai, so he nodded and said.

"Okay, where is the Heavenly Flame map I want to see?"

Hearing Xiao Ming's question, Administrator Bai did not immediately take out the map, but said with a smile without hurrying:

"No hurry, the Heavenly Flame map is our pavilion's treasure, the price is not cheap, I don't know your budget... hehe."

Administrator Bai's meaning was obvious, this map was very expensive, if he didn't have money, don't look at it.

'The treasure of the pavilion? Do you think I'm three years old? what pavilion treasure is not auctioned? But they are sold by the shopping guide every day?'

Under the black robe, Xiao Ming's face was expressionless and his tone was impatient as he spoke.

"If the map is real, I think I should be able to gather some money, besides, your map is not necessarily real, otherwise it wouldn't still be here." At the same time, Xiao Ming, who had said this, slightly showed his aura, a Dou Grandmaster could also have a small fortune.

The black-robed administrator did not get angry when he heard Xiao Ming's ungraceful words, he still seemed to be smiling, after all, the people of the Black-Corner Region were always quite irritated.

And frankly speaking, this black-robed Dou Grandmaster was also right, that map was a bit troublesome.

"Sorry for the offense, this is the remnant map of Heavenly Flame, please look at it."

A white light flashed in Administrator Bai's hand, a green map appeared in his hand, and he turned to hand it to Xiao Ming.

"This is the remnant map of Heavenly Flame?"

Xiao Ming gaped slightly as he looked at the drawing in front of him, which was only the size of two palms.

There were obvious signs of damage to the edges of the map, which was fine, after all, it was a remnant map, but the lines on these maps were a bit confusing.

More importantly, the information on the lines drawn on the map the size of two palms, there was very little information recorded, and the existing lines are obviously only a small part of the map, although there is a symbol of a flame on the map showing that this is the core of the map, but this is of no use.

Because you can't even find the exact location, what's the use of knowing the core, what's the difference between having this map and not having it?

Just this, what do you intend to be done with that?

Xiao Ming couldn't help but roll his eyes and spoke, "Administrator Bai, I want to know where did you get this map from, do you know where it is located, and what kind of Heavenly Flame is on this map?"

Administrator Bai also knew that this Heavenly Flame map was too mutilated, and spoke with a bit of discomfort, "This map was obtained by our pavilion master by chance in a cave, and it was damaged beyond recognition at that time, according to the cave records, this must be somewhere in the Nether Poison Swamp, as for where this Nether Poison Swamp is, I don't know, by the way, this Heavenly Flame is apparently called Nether Poison Flame."

'Nether Poison Flame?'

'No wonder this map couldn't be sold', Xiao Ming said secretly.

Not to mention that the map was flawed, but there is also something wrong with this Heavenly Flame, the Nether Poison Flame was a Heavenly Flame that ranked 20th on the Heavenly Flame list, and was said to be a flame that existed in the ancient Nether Poison Swamp.

Having been contaminated by the poisonous miasma of the Nether Poison Swamp for millions of years, the flame has consumed endless poisonous miasma, becoming spirit for a hundred years and taking form for a thousand years, and when fully formed, it is greenish in color, like a ghost flame traveling through the poisonous miasma of the swamp.

As this flame itself feeds on the poisonous miasma, it is highly poisonous and if you touch the flame for a moment, it will poison you, not to mention devour and assimilate it! Therefore, no one would seek this kind of flame unless the person had a long life and did not want to live any longer, and so not many people knew of its existence.

Xiao Ming even dared to say that in the entire Dou Qi Continent, there might be people who possessed other types of Heavenly Flames, but it was absolutely impossible for anyone to possess this poisonous flame because no normal person could resist this special flame, and the poison masters who specialized in cultivating poisonous Dou Qi couldn't even handle this thing.

Xiao Ming even thought that Xiao Yan and Han Feng, who practiced Flame Mantra in the original story, would not have paid attention to this Heavenly Flame because it was too poisonous and not suitable for alchemists at all.

As if he didn't understand the reason for Xiao Ming's silence, Administrator Bai said excitedly, "This Heavenly Flame map is absolutely genuine, the old man is not deceiving you, and it has also been verified by the Eight Gates Auction."

"Then why wasn't it auctioned?" asked Xiao Ming rhetorically.

'Wasn't it because of the fact that there was no market for the Nether Poison Flame?'

Administrator Bai kept silent and didn't say the words out loud.

To be honest, if he could, he didn't even want to say what kind of Heavenly Flame was registered on this map.

After all, no one in their right mind would really look for this Heavenly Flame. But without saying this piece of information, it is unlikely that anyone would buy it given the degree of mutilation of the map, and as for simply saying a location without saying the name of the Heavenly Flame and tricking people into buying it, that would be even more impossible.

People weren't stupid. If he said " Nether Poison Swamp", people who know a little about Heavenly Flames would know that it was not a serious map at all.

Just when Administrator Bai thought that this deal was about to fall through, Xiao Ming spoke up.

"I'll buy this map, just name a price."

"You want to buy it?" Administrator Bai was overjoyed, he didn't expect that someone would want to buy it after knowing what kind of Heavenly Flame it was, it was a lot of money given away.

"Well, what's the price?"

Xiao Ming certainly wasn't looking to waste his money, from the material, the drawing looked of a certain age, in that sense the map must be real.

If it was real, then it had some value to Xiao Ming, although the map was badly damaged and it was very difficult to find the actual location.

But Xiao Ming has a life simulator, so after buying it, he will definitely keep an eye out for it, and maybe once the simulator will find it by itself.

As for the Nether Poison Flame problem, which is very poisonous, it was only a minor problem for him.

It's not like he's going to devour this type of Heavenly Flame himself, his spirit will.

Whatever the Spirit devoured would not affect him at all, just like the Green Rock Mystic Water that was corrosive, but after the Spirit devoured it, Xiao Ming's Dou Qi was still the original Dou Qi of Flame, without the slightest change.

Of course, if Xiao Ming wanted to have this corrosive characteristic, he could too, as long as he controlled the Spirit to share it with him.

To put it bluntly, the characteristic that the Spirit obtains after devouring is a buff for Xiao Ming, and for the Spirit, this buff can be placed and removed quite freely.

A/N:

The author took the liberty of creating a Heavenly Flame that does not exist in the original story, I wonder which relevant character deserves such treatment..?
