Chapter 34: Secret Realm Opening

A/N:

Although I mentioned that the poll would be available longer, the disparity in opinions already said it all, so I will start making the changes to the cultivation realms starting with this chapter.

The changes will be as follows:

Dou Zhi Qi → Dou Disciple

Da Dou Shi → Dou Grandmaster

Dou Ling → Dou Spirit

"Make an offer, or don't you want to sell?"

"Sell, sell, sell! Of course I'm selling." When Administrator Bai heard what Xiao Ming said, he was quick to reply with a smile, "The price of this Heavenly Flame remnant map isn't too high, it only costs a mere 100,000 gold coins."

'Only 100,000 gold coins!'

'This is a bandit who is used to stealing money, right?'

Xiao Ming was speechless when he heard that and thought, 'How come it seems like you don't want to sell it?'

'The previous map of the Great Plain of Black-Corner Region had an explicit price, but this one you just took out of the storage ring couldn't also have an explicit price, right?'

'Even if this map is real, it's not worth the price. I don't want to be taken advantage of.'

''The same as the map of the Great Plain of Black-Corner Region, four thousand gold coins.''

''Sir, your price is a bit low.'' Seeing that Xiao Ming had bargained with such a low price, Administrator Bai gave a hard look.

"Hmph, you yourself know the degree of fragmentation of this map, this fragmented map is not worth a hundred thousand gold coins, and I don't have that many gold coins."

Xiao Ming said, of course he had the money, but he would not be foolish enough to explain his wealth.

Just to see him continue, "What's more, everyone knows what Nether Poison Flame does, right? If it weren't for the fact that this drawing is real and the location of a precious poisonous herb is engraved on it, it wouldn't be worth a thousand gold coins!"

'It's not worth it, and yet you want to buy it.'

Administrator Bai muttered inwardly but did not say it aloud.

After all, it was rare for a big shot to want to buy this map, and it would be bad to make him angry.

Therefore, Administrator Bai just smiled bitterly and said, "your price is too low, I can't do anything to lower it that much, how about ninety thousand gold coins?"

"Ten thousand at most."

"Eighty-eight thousand."

"Eleven thousand ..."

"..."

After some intense haggling, Xiao Ming ended up buying the map for twenty-four thousand gold coins.

Once the transaction was concluded, both parties were very satisfied with the deal.

After taking out his purple gold card and paying the bill, Xiao Ming hurried out of the Cartography Pavilion.

Standing in the lobby, Administrator Bai narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Xiao Ming who had disappeared from sight, the friendly smile on his face slowly disappearing, replaced by an incomparably cold stare.

"Administrator Bai, that remnant map was only sold for 24,000 gold coins, won't the Pavilion Master blame you when he finds out?"

The female guide's cautious voice sounded in the lobby, Administrator Bai returned his gaze and spoke indifferently.

"Never mind, although the map sold to this black-robed Dou Grandmaster is the original map, the technique our Cartography Pavilion prides itself most on is cartography, and we got a backup copy of that remnant map a long time ago."

"Indeed, we made a profit on selling it off a few thousand gold coins, so the Pavilion Master won't blame us."

At the end of his sentence, Administrator Bai was inwardly flooded with doubt.

After all, it was a bit strange that the map could be sold, could it be that this person had learned secrets about the map that we in the Cartographic Pavilion could not see?

After thinking this, Administrator Bai shook his head decisively, denying his idea.

No, it was impossible. The map had been checked over and over again by the Cartographic Pavilion, and it was actually an ordinary map, at most a little older, but nothing strange.

Perhaps he really had bought the map for another purpose.

"Then we must find someone to follow him, this Dou Grandmaster seems to have a lot of money."

"No need, this man may be richer than an ordinary Dou Grandmaster, but he is not richer by much, didn't you see that man just a moment ago only had a little over 20,000 gold coins left on his purple gold card? It's still considerable, but the Pavilion Master is out at the moment, and it's quite troublesome if a Dou Grandmaster causes us trouble, and people of low strength can't keep up with him."

"However, if he still comes next time and the Pavilion Master is also present, it can be considered."

"Understood." The female guide nodded her head repeatedly.

"By the way, you did a good job this time, your monthly salary goes up 10% at the end of the month." After glancing at the scantily clad sales clerk, administrator Bai suddenly said.

The sales clerk was very happy about this, wasn't this why she called Xiao Ming?

"Thank you administrator Bai, thank you administrator..." She thanked him and it was only after administrator Bai disappeared that she stopped and, after taking a slight breath, continued in the lobby waiting for customers.

...

After leaving the Cartography Pavilion, Xiao Ming first put away the remnant map of Heavenly Flame, after which he strolled around Black Seal City for an hour.

During that time, he spent some gold coins, bought the information he wanted, and learned some information about the powerful people who had come to Black Seal City for the auction this time.

Finally, after making sure he was not being watched, he casually found an inn and stayed there.

The next day, early in the morning.

Not far from Black Seal City a clear dew hung from the tips of emerald green leaves, and white mist lingered among the trees.

A dark shadow suddenly stepped into a thicket of trees, peering through gaps in the branches and into the distance, where the dense forest thinned out and eventually bordered a dark plain.

The endless plain, as far as the eye could see, was a drab black, against a somewhat darker sky, and over it hung a depressing and irritating atmosphere.

A few sparse and distant pedestrians could be seen on the plain.

In the jungle, Xiao Ming looked at the endless blackness and realized that he was about to enter the Great Plain of Black-Corner Region.

Taking out the map from the storage ring, he checked it and looked at a small black dot on the map, standing among the trees, Xiao Ming said softly.

'Go thirty miles west to reach that secret realm opening place, let's hope we don't encounter a black storm during that time.'

Apart from the thousands of horse thieves in the Great Plain of Black-Corner Region, the Black Storm was the most dangerous, and those who were not very experienced got lost in it.

There was once an unfortunate fellow who rushed through the Black Storm and ended up going halfway around the Great Plain and died of exhaustion.

Xiao Ming wasn't worried about dying of exhaustion, he was only afraid of missing the opening of the secret realm.

After praying for luck, Xiao Ming put away the map, his legs flowed with Dou Qi, he executed his Dou Technique and his whole body appeared like a ghost a few meters away.

The scene was as if he was performing small-scale teleportation, quite bizarre, and soon Xiao Ming disappeared from the scene.

...

On the Great Plain, a human figure raised a faint wisp of yellow dust and sped past, noting that his speed was actually faster than a horse, and finally disappeared from the line of sight.

This person was none other than Xiao Ming, and two hours had passed since he left Black Seal City.

During that time, he was also fortunate enough not to encounter a black storm.

Therefore, he had actually finished walking the thirty miles a long time ago, and was only searching for the exact location at this time.

Unfortunately, in this world, there was no positioning system like GPS, so even though Xiao Ming knew the exact location, it was still a bit difficult to find the opening location of the secret realm in the almost even plain.

No, after searching for so long, Xiao Ming still hadn't found it.

As time passed, Xiao Ming's footsteps began to slow down, until they stopped.

'Forget it, I won't look for it, when the secret realm is revealed, there will be a big commotion, when the time comes, I will rush straight there, and I won't be so flashy when I meet people.'

After taking a light breath and calming his breath that had fluctuated due to the strenuous movement, Xiao Ming took out a Qi Return Pill from his storage ring and popped it into his mouth.

Thus, he remained in the same place for another quarter of an hour.

Rumble!

Xiao Ming, who was resting his eyes, suddenly heard a loud sound and opened his eyes, looking in the direction of the sound, a pillar of light several dozen meters wide was not far away, rising into the sky and straight into the clouds.

The white light shone clearly on Xiao Ming's face, which was hidden under his black robe.

Xiao Ming's face revealed a look of surprise when he saw this mighty power.

"This secret realm is truly extraordinary, but the movement is too big."

Before the words left his mouth, a precious sword suddenly appeared in Xiao Ming's hand and he half-knelt on the ground, thrusting it into the ground and holding the hilt tightly with both hands to fix himself.

Soon, a whistling gale mixed with energy fluctuations violently descended from the sky, and immediately, Xiao Ming's body swayed slightly as the gale blew.

Xiao Ming's face changed slightly as he lowered his body to ensure his stability and listened to the sound of the gale blowing over his black robe.

Fortunately, he had prepared himself, otherwise, he might have been blown miles away if he had been caught off guard.

"Ah... help me!"

As if to check Xiao Ming's thoughts.

A human figure, mixed with a miserable scream, flew from far away to nearby, flying past Xiao Ming diagonally and quickly disappearing, which made Xiao Ming's face turn strange.

That guy was really unlucky.

The fierce wind didn't last long before it slowly stopped.

After putting his sword in its storage ring, fixing his clothes that had been blown away by the gale, and putting his black robe back on to cover his face, Xiao Ming shot out towards the pillar of light.
