"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Sir."
Ling Xuan nodded. With a slight movement of his hand, a soft spirit light shot out from his fingertips and quickly sketched in the air.
The spiritual light didn't dissipate, and soon, a lifelike map appeared.
It had to be said that Ling Xuan's drawing technique was truly impressive. In just a few breaths of time, the ancient map that Chu Chen had transmitted to him through his Divine Sense had completely appeared in the air. It was exactly the same as the map in Chu Chen's memories.
"Good technique!"
Seeing Ling Xuan draw in the air, the hemp-robed old man's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
Then he began to carefully examine the spirit power map in the air. He was completely immersed in it, but the more he looked, the more solemn his expression became.
"How is this map? Can it be decrypted?"
Seeing that the hemp-robed old man's expression hadn't changed in the slightest after more than an hour, Ling Xuan finally asked in a soft voice.
"When was this map drawn?"
The hemp-robed old man pondered for a moment and asked.
"It's something from at least ten thousand years ago."
Ling Xuan had communicated with Chu Chen before, so he had prepared the answer long ago. In fact, it was definitely more than ten thousand years ago.
"If it's a map from ten thousand years ago, it wouldn't be too old. In ten thousand years, the South Horizon Region's terrain wouldn't have changed too much. However, the method used to draw this map is extremely profound. Normal methods can't see through it."
The hemp-robed old man stroked his beard. "This seemingly ordinary map actually hides at least three sub-maps. There were nine hidden ancient runes in each sub-map. Each rune has at least three transformations. Every change in these runes represents a new direction of investigation. "
When Ling Xuan heard this, he felt his head begin to hurt.
"Strictly speaking, this isn't just a map. It's an extremely complicated and ever-changing ancient rune formation! Only by following the order of the runes' transformations set by the map's owner in advance can the final map be obtained. Tsk tsk … How many years has it been since I last saw this? This is the work of a true master. Even some ancient ruins with amazing hidden treasures wouldn't have such a complicated rune formation! "
"Ah?"
At this moment, not only Ling Xuan, but even Chu Chen was dumbfounded.
It was just a simple map, but it hid so many secrets?
"Then, are you able to unlock this runic sealing array?"
Ling Xuan's question.
"This old man's knowledge, I really can't unlock this ancient rune formation," the hemp-robed old man's explanation's words.
"In the entire Black Cave, I'm afraid only our Second Cave Master would be able to unravel the mystery of your map."
"Second Cave's's
The young girl asked blankly, "Who is the second cave master?"
"Haha …"
The hemp-he's kind of Chu Feng's Chu Chen's's's for the time being.
However, his temperament was extremely kind, and he patiently explained to Ling Xuan.
The Black Tower was South Sky City's largest underground black market, and the true masters behind it were the three great Cave's' 'masters.
Legend has it that the three great Cave's' masters' abilities were limitless, and they were the top experts in the entire cultivation world.
The three great Cave's' masters were also different. The First Cave's' was best at fighting. Legend has it that with a raise of his hand, he had the power to destroy heaven and earth, and the ability to move mountains and fill seas. The legend may not be true, but the truth was that he had never lost a battle.
The Second Cave's' 'was the most knowledgeable, and he was a master of all kinds of subjects.
Astronomy, geography, ancient history, controlling beasts, formations, and so on. There was nothing he didn't know, and he could be said to be the most knowledgeable person in the entire South Sky City.
The Third Cave's' masters were the best at doing business. They bought low and sold high, and they were experts at reselling information.
"Where can I meet the Second Cave's' master?" Ling Xuan asked.
"It's not difficult to meet the Second Cave's' master, but it's difficult to ask him to help. You need to spend money." The hemp-robed old man chuckled, "The Second Cave's' master's price is clearly marked, eighty million spirit stones. If you don't have enough money, then forget about it. "
"So expensive?"
The young girl frowned, and Chu Chen howled madly in his heart.
That Second Cave's' master really dared to ask for eighty million spirit stones. Even a Heavenly River Realm expert might not have that much wealth!
"I don't have any spirit stones, but I have some other things that can be exchanged for money. Do you have a place here where I can exchange treasures for spirit stones? "
Ling Xuan muttered to himself for a moment, then asked softly.
"Of course, this is our Black Cave's old profession."
The hemp-robed old man smiled amiably, "Every day, we hold several auctions here, and we don't ask for the origin of all the goods we auction. As long as you send us something good, we can help you sell it, no matter where it came from or how you got it. "
"That's fine."
The young girl nodded, seeming to sigh in relief.
"Allow this old man to say one more thing."
The hemp-robed old man smiled, "According to the rules of our Black Cave, the more valuable an item is, the less we'll take. The less valuable an item is, the more we'll take. This is also to prevent people from selling shoddy goods and wasting everyone's time and energy. So if you want to exchange for money, it's best if you have a few truly valuable items. "
"Truly valuable items?"
The young girl bit her lower lip softly, then asked in a low voice, "I'm sure my items are very valuable. The Heavenly Demon Scripture that Ming Di has inherited …"
"Wait!"
Before Ling Xuan could finish speaking, Chu Chen jumped to his feet and stretched out a wing to cover the young girl's mouth.
The hemp-robed old man was dumbfounded. This spirit pet actually knew how to seal its master's mouth.
Chu Chen ignored the old man, and instead sent a divine thought to Ling Xuan. "You, you, you … What are you doing? You're not going to sell the Heavenly Demon Scripture, are you?"
"That's right."
Ling Xuan's divine thought carried a hint of confusion. "I've already memorized the entire Heavenly Demon Scripture, there's no point in keeping it with me. Since you're in urgent need of money to ask the Second Cave Master to help solve the mystery of the ancient map, why not sell the Heavenly Demon Scripture? Many people have fought over it before, I'm sure it'll sell for a good price. "
"…"
Chu Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"This isn't a matter of whether it's valuable or not, alright! That's the Heavenly Demon Scripture, the inherited cultivation technique of the ancient Ming Di! "
Chu Chen felt like he was about to collapse, not knowing how to communicate with this otherworldly young girl.
"This is something that can create a powerful inheritance. Once the Heavenly Demon Scripture appears, the entire South Horizon Region will go crazy, and the world will descend into chaos! So this thing must not be sold for money! "
"What does chaos have to do with me?"
