Hearing the greeting from the other side, Lu Yuanshan turned his gaze towards the cultivator’s display. On the stall, there weren’t some demon beast spiritual materials like other stalls, but just a few flying sword artifacts, two long spears, and several Tier Two talismans, along with a bottle of Tier Two high-grade Cyan Snake Pills. The Cyan Snake Pill is a spirit pill for water attribute cultivators, which can greatly enhance cultivation. Such elixirs are extremely rare in the cultivation realm of the Chu Kingdom. Besides these, there was also a tattered map. Lu Yuanshan didn’t show much interest in the artifacts and elixirs. His gaze landed on the fragment, revealing a curious expression. "Fellow cultivator, this item is..." The map was too damaged, intentionally obscured with magical power, so Lu Yuanshan couldn’t see the full depiction on the damaged map, only faintly discerning some outline imprints. It was clear that the cultivator had deliberately cast magic to obscure the information recorded on the fragment. "Fellow cultivator, you have a keen eye!" The small cultivator’s eyes flashed with some cunning. He quickly assumed a proper demeanor, looked around, and whispered to Lu Yuanshan through communication. "This item is a treasure map." "Fellow cultivator, although it’s only a part and the information is incomplete, it might very well mark the inheritance left by a Golden Core Ancestor!" "As long as there is an opportunity in the future to find another piece of the fragment, you will know the exact location of this cave mansion!" The small cultivator eagerly introduced. Lu Yuanshan quietly listened, his heart not stirred. Opportunities like cave mansion inheritance were found early on by Xuu Yi and Yuan Lang of Shenxiao Palace on an unnamed island in the Qingli Sea. At that time, after Xuu Yi finished treasure hunting, he went to fetch Xuu Yi back to the sect. The harvest from that trip was plentiful. The refining method for the Five Elements Spiritual Artifact Jun Tian, Purple Monkey Flower, and the Cultivation Technique of the Purple Mansion Celestial Strategy were all obtained from there. Yet this fragment is not complete. Even if obtained, one has to find another fragment. Moreover, where to find another fragment? Whether the information recorded in the fragment is true or false needs validation; one cannot believe the words lightly. Claiming it is the inheritance left by a Golden Core Ancestor might be an exaggeration. "How much for this item?" Lu Yuanshan casually asked. Hearing this, the small cultivator became more spirited. "I see this map is fateful with you, and today is my first day doing business, so consider this as my first sale to you." "Fellow cultivator, one thousand spirit stones and it’s yours!" "The map is incomplete. It still requires finding another fragment; a thousand spirit stones isn’t worth it." Lu Yuanshan shook his head. "Fellow cultivator, true it’s a fragment, but if it was a complete map, it would be far more than this price." "I’ve had this map for a long time with no leads on finding another fragment. If not urgently needing spirit stones, I wouldn’t sell it." The small cultivator sighed, then asked somewhat reluctantly. "Alright, fellow cultivator, how many spirit stones do you think is appropriate?" "One hundred spirit stones." "One hundred spirit stones?!" The small cultivator stood up immediately, showing a hint of anger. "Fellow cultivator, you can’t joke about this. One hundred spirit stones, saying so, it absolutely cannot be sold." "This is a cave mansion inheritance left by a Golden Core senior, the value within the mansion is immeasurable!" "If you won’t sell for one hundred spirit stones, then farewell." Lu Yuanshan didn’t look back at the fragment and turned to leave. The small cultivator became a bit anxious, watching Lu Yuanshan turn to leave, biting his lip, and shouted: "Fellow cultivator, wait, take it, it is yours!" After speaking, he quickly picked up the fragment and handed it to Lu Yuanshan. "Ah, one hundred spirit stones, consider it a gift for a friend." His words were very polite. After giving a hundred spirit stones, Lu Yuanshan took the fragment and left. Away from the small cultivator, Lu Yuanshan specifically came back around and checked the small cultivator’s stall, finding that no more fragments appeared. It seemed that the other party would not copy a fragment into several to sell. The one he bought should be a unique piece. There wouldn’t be a second identical one. Thinking about the fragment’s use, Lu Yuanshan found a nearby inn to stay at. After entering the room, he cast magic to lock the surroundings, then took out the fragment he had just purchased. After wiping away the magical cover on it, he could see the content within. This fragment was about the size of a palm, with three edges neatly lined, only one edge was irregular, clearly torn off. As the small cultivator said, this was half a map, needing another half to complete it. The map had yellowed, slightly blurred, but still readable. From the record, it indeed seemed like the remains of some cultivator’s cave mansion. The recorded location appeared to be on an island at sea. Where exactly, based on half a map, it couldn’t be discerned. Also, it couldn’t be made out who left this cave mansion or what exact rank they held. "Is it truly the inheritance left by a Golden Core Ancestor?" Lu Yuanshan observed for a long while but still couldn’t make out anything conclusive. But there’s still a way. "The last time, Lu Xuelian obtained a fragment from Chen Yuerong’s storage bag, does it relate to this one?" Lu Yuanshan recalled, there was also a damaged map in his storage bag, also lacking the other half. This one was acquired from Chen Yuerong, and its purpose also related to cultivator remains. Google seaʀᴄh 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵 Whether related or not, comparing the two fragments would reveal it. Lu Yuanshan took out the other fragment for comparison. The notches of the two fragments coincidentally aligned perfectly, clearly matched. A complete map was pieced together. Peering closely at the complete map, Lu Yuan squinted his eyes, quickly realizing the marked location on the map wasn’t in the Qingli Sea, but in the eastern Vast Tide Sea of Qingli Sea. The cave mansion was located north of the Vast Tide Sea, about thirty thousand miles away, precisely situated on an island. In the island, the exact location of the cave mansion was explicitly marked on the map. "Qingli Sea is already vast enough, and I feel quite unfamiliar with this sea area. To seek treasure, I must traverse the Qingli Sea to the more expansive Vast Tide Sea." Lu Yuanshan muttered with a slightly frowned expression. The Qingli Sea borders the Chu Kingdom and covers most of the Lingxi State. To cultivators of the mainland, the Qingli Sea wasn’t unfamiliar.
