Giving it to him now was just right.
As for the second remnant map, it would not be too late to give it to Xiao Yan after getting the half in Hai Bodong's hands.
If she was going to give it, she should give it all at once; it would be easier to explain to Xiao Yan and Yao Lao.
After all, the second remnant map was separated by Hai Bodong, and the traces of this separation could be seen if looked at carefully.
Giving one remnant map in two parts wouldn't that clearly say "I have a problem"?
In this way, it would be very obvious that she was aiming for the remnant map, and it wouldn't be good to be suspected.
Although she could make up an excuse, Xiao Xue was too lazy to make so many explanations.
Xiao Xue untied the scroll and then slowly spread it out.
Looking at the scroll, Xiao Yan was slightly stunned: "Little sister, this is?"
Appearing in his eyes was a piece of parchment made of unknown material.
On the slightly yellowed parchment, some patterns that looked completely irregular were drawn.
"This remnant map is a bit strange; it hides an extremely vast Soul Power."
At this moment, Yao Lao's voice suddenly sounded in the depths of Xiao Yan's heart.
"This kind of Soul Power is extremely obscure; if it weren't for a profession like an Alchemist whose Mental Energy far exceeds that of ordinary people, it would be extremely difficult for others to detect it."
"These Soul Powers will not directly cause any harm to people, but if someone intends to copy the patterns on it..."
"Then these Soul Powers will unknowingly erode your sanity, causing the final map you draw to be almost completely different from the original."
Listening to Yao Lao's explanation, Xiao Yan was startled. He reached out and took the remnant map, which felt quite smooth to the touch, and examined it up and down.
A faint sense of vicissitudes and ancient charm rushed towards him. It seemed that the time this remnant map had experienced was probably not too short.
This remnant map was definitely not an ordinary item.
"...What the hell is this thing?" Looking at this mysterious thing that looked like ghost drawings, Xiao Yan frowned.
"Brother, look here." Xiao Xue reached out and pointed to the corner of the remnant map, where there was a blurry object that looked somewhat like a lotus flower.
This lotus-shaped thing, perhaps because of the passage of time, looked faintly yellowish and also somewhat blurry.
However, one could still see its general outline—
The lotus was black, and on its surface, it seemed to be coated with a thin layer of black flame.
Looking carefully, the entire lotus gave one a faintly eerie feeling.
Yao Lao in the ring was slightly startled, and Xiao Xue raised her head to look at Xiao Yan.
"This... could this be..."
"Brother, I don't know if you have heard of..."
"—Purification Lotus Demon Flame!" * 2
———
A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Xue bid farewell to Xiao Yan and left.
Just a moment ago, she had touched Yao Lao's ring and then directly used the [Special Item Copy Voucher].
At this moment, a Bone Chilling Flame was quietly lying in her [Backpack], but the [Progress Bar] was still loading, indicating that it had not finished copying.
The progress bar was moving slowly, and it was estimated that it would take a few days of work.
All of this happened silently, and no one noticed.
After Xiao Xue left, Yao Lao floated out of the ring, carefully examining the remnant map while sighing with emotion.
"Your little sister truly is a person with great Luck."
"The last time she went out, she brought back a girl with the Calamity Poison Body, and her Soul Power even broke through a level;"
"This time she brought back another one with the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, and she even managed to encounter a remnant map of the Purification Lotus Demon Flame!"
"Purification Lotus Demon Flame, ranked third on the strange fire ranking list, has the special effect of purifying all things."
"Anything, as long as it is touched by even a little bit, will be purified into nothingness; its power is extremely terrifying."
"This kind of strange fire is extremely rare in the world, and it seems there are only a meager two or three of them in existence."
"But no one knows where they are, nor does anyone know who recorded this thing in the first place, yet no one has ever truly seen it."
"The reason why I was able to recognize it was because I happened to find a few shallow traces regarding this thing when I was searching for strange fire back then."
"Tsk tsk, such a thing could actually be encountered by your little sister, and it looks like she knows quite a bit about it."
Yao Lao looked at the remnant map with some shock and exclaimed.
"Unfortunately, this is only a remnant map. Relying on such blurry information, we simply cannot find it."
Xiao Yan's interest was also piqued, but upon thinking that this was only a remnant map, he could not help but feel regretful.
"Being able to obtain this bit of information about the Purification Lotus Demon Flame is already quite good. Even if you could find that thing now, with your strength, you wouldn't be able to do anything about it."
"Let's take it slow. Perhaps in the future, your little sister can help you get other remnant maps." Yao Lao smiled teasingly.
Xiao Yan: "..."
"If you can successfully devour the [Purification Lotus Demon Flame], I wonder what level this Flame Mantra will evolve into?"
"Isn't the highest just Heaven Rank Advanced?" Xiao Yan spread his hands and muttered.
"That may not be so." Yao Lao whispered with a mysterious smile. "The Fighting Qi Continent is very large. Once you step into a certain level, you will naturally know how big it is."
"As for you now, you had better honestly start from the very bottom."
Looking at the mysterious-acting Yao Lao, Xiao Yan could only helplessly nod. "Got it, got it. Who didn't crawl up from the very bottom?"
Yao Lao smiled, his body trembled slightly, and he turned into a stream of light and dived into the ring, leaving behind a laugh:
"Rest for a day. In a few more days, it will be time for you to go out and find strange fire."
"At that time, your bitter training will truly begin!"
On the other side, Xiao Xue returned to her small courtyard.
"Big Sister Xue'er, you're back..." Xiao Xun Er greeted her with a menacingly kind smile.
Xiao Xue couldn't help but shudder.
That's not right. The Bone Chilling Flame hadn't finished copying yet, so why did she feel a chill down her back?
