Chapter 141 The Fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame
Xiao Feng still had a very deep memory of this cave, after all, it contained the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, which ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking! Even though he already knew about this place and that it contained the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, he had not sent anyone to search for and take away the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame before. The reason for doing so was due to the timeline.
It should be noted that the Xiao Clan has existed for over a thousand years, and "Hell" had already developed into a top power on the continent hundreds of years ago. These are all very long periods of time. However, Xiao Feng did not know when the person who left this cave died. If he went too early, he would naturally find nothing.
If, by chance, the person who went to investigate was discovered by a powerful figure who intended to leave a cave dwelling here, would that person choose to abandon this place and look for another location? Xiao Feng couldn't guarantee that. If such a thing really happened, finding this fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map would be extremely difficult.
Furthermore, all indications suggest that this cave is the final resting place of that unknown powerhouse, who likely cultivated in seclusion here beforehand. Sending someone to investigate would undoubtedly alert him. Whichever possibility is true, the consequences would be unpredictable!
That's why he hadn't sent anyone over yet, wanting to wait for the right opportunity. And now, it just so happens to be the right time. There are only a dozen or so years left before the story truly begins. With that time difference, it seems this cave-dwelling has already appeared. After all, when Little Fairy Doctor discovered the things in this cave dwelling in the original story, it was already quite old.
As expected, Xiao Feng quickly discovered the cave after his investigation, and he has now arrived there.
Before he could take more than a few steps, Xiao Feng stopped. In front of him stood a stone gate, clearly the last line of defense for this cave dwelling.
Looking at the stone gate in front of them, Little Fairy Doctor spoke up, "Big brother, big brother, can't we get in now?"
As she spoke, she began to stroke the stone door all over, as if she had discovered something interesting.
"It's alright, watch me." Xiao Feng said to the Little Fairy Doctor beside him, pulling her behind him. Then, with a gentle wave of his hand, the stone gate in front of them vanished in the wind! Nothing was left behind!
If one hadn't seen this stone gate with their own eyes before, based solely on the current scene, it's unlikely anyone could have imagined what had happened before.
"Wow! What happened! The stone door is gone!" Little Fairy Doctor exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the stone door that had suddenly disappeared in front of her. She then rushed forward and reached out to feel where the stone door had been before, trying to see if it was really there.
Clearly, what was happening was beyond her comprehension. Having grown up in a small mountain village, Little Fairy Doctor had no idea that human power could achieve such a feat! She had never witnessed such an astonishing scene! Of course, Xiao Feng wouldn't bother explaining anything to her now; he simply smiled and let it go in the face of her actions.
Bang! A flame rose from Xiao Feng's palm, illuminating the dark cave.
Looking at the flame in Xiao Feng's palm, Little Fairy Doctor's eyes were filled with curiosity. Although she did not know the power of the strange fire in Xiao Feng's hand, she had some understanding of the power of ordinary flames. Naturally, she did not dare to truly feel it. Otherwise, Xiao Feng would definitely stop her bold move. This was a strange fire, not an ordinary flame!
If Little Fairy Doctor were to actually touch it, she would be burned to death by the strange fire!
In truth, the darkness did not affect Xiao Feng. The reason he still released the strange fire to illuminate the stone chamber was because of the Little Fairy Doctor beside him. Little Fairy Doctor was still just a child, and naturally, she was afraid of the dark. Xiao Feng was capable of changing this, so why shouldn't he do it?
Upon entering the stone chamber, the first thing that catches the eye is the piles of gold coins gleaming with golden light all around. However, for Xiao Feng, gold coins no longer hold any interest for him. After all, everything he owns is worth millions of gold coins or even more.
The reason these gold coins are the first thing you notice, rather than anything else, is simply because the sheer number of them is enormous, numbering at least hundreds of thousands. Even if these coins were placed in three separate corners, each pile would still contain at least tens of thousands of coins. Imagine tens of thousands of gold coins laid out together—it would definitely be very eye-catching.
Ignoring the gold coins, Xiao Feng walked straight to the center of the stone chamber. In the center of the chamber, there was a chair, upon which lay a skeleton. In front of the skeleton was a wide, long blue stone platform, on which were placed three stone boxes, all of which were locked.
Looking at the skeleton before him, Xiao Feng's gaze was instantly drawn to the key in the skeleton's hand.
Reaching the skeleton, Xiao Feng reached out and gently pulled at its arm, causing the entire arm to fall off. The skeleton collided with the ground with a sound. After the arm fell, a faint mark was visible within the skeleton's bony arm. Seeing this, Xiao Feng quickly reached out and removed it.
Holding this in my hand, I saw a yellowed fragment made of some unknown material. The fragment was covered with many irregular stripes, and in one corner, there was only a blurred lotus flower pattern that I could barely make out.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Feng smiled. "This is the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map. I've finally got it! Although this is only the first one, for someone as familiar with the plot as I am, collecting them all is no problem at all. Once I collect all the fragments of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map, my chances of obtaining the Pure Lotus Demon Flame will increase significantly!"
Xiao Feng naturally coveted the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame, which ranked third on the Strange Flame Ranking. Otherwise, why would he go to such lengths to find the fragments of the Purifying Lotus Demon Flame?
Xiao Feng had some understanding of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame, after all, he had the help of a "cheat code". However, even if he knew where the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was sealed, it would be of no use, because he simply could not go there to subdue it! Or rather, he could not even see the Pure Lotus Demon Flame!
