Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 23: The Complete Map of Strange Fire (Seeking monthly tickets and follow-up reading)
Little Medical Fairy was filled with anticipation, hoping that the third treasure chest would bring a more advanced technique or fighting skill. However, what she saw instead was a larger rolled-up blueprint.

Seeing that it was not the treasure she had wanted, she immediately lost interest and turned her attention back to the flying fighting skills book.

Zhongli studied the complete map intently. Unlike the previous incomplete map, this map clearly marked the starting and ending locations of the treasure hiding places.

"This river at this starting point is very similar to the one on the back mountain of Wutan City. But according to the markings on the map, there seems to be only a dilapidated temple in a bamboo forest at the location of Wutan City. Could it be that this map was drawn earlier than the establishment of Wutan City?" Zhongli muttered to himself, and the little medical fairy beside him heard it clearly.

"Master, look at this map. Can you tell what kind of treasure it refers to? Since the history of this treasure map is even older than that of Wutan City, I'm sure what it points to is definitely not an ordinary thing." Curiosity and anticipation gleamed in the eyes of the Little Medical Fairy. She also moved closer and examined the treasure map carefully.

Zhongli closed his eyes slightly, as if connecting with some invisible force. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and nodded, his tone full of certainty: "If my perception is correct, the mark at the end of this map should also point to the location of a strange fire."

"Another Strange Fire?" Upon hearing this, the Little Medical Immortal couldn't help but exclaim, a look of surprise crossing her face. "Are these Strange Fires really so numerous?"

"That's not the case," Zhongli explained, shaking his head slightly. "Only twenty-three Strange Fires are listed on the Strange Fire List. While the top three, which are unique, may appear repeatedly, they are still difficult to find. Obtaining a fragment of a Strange Fire map is already a great opportunity, not to mention that what we have before us is a complete Strange Fire map. This is an even greater opportunity for you."

After saying that, Zhongli took a deep breath, as if to calm his inner excitement, then slowly stood up, his eyes deep and determined.

Little Medical Fairy gently tapped her cheek with her fingers, thinking silently, "What a pity! I cultivate poison-attributed Dou Qi, and Master, you cultivate earth-attributed Dou Qi. This strange fire seems to be of no use to us, both master and disciple."

"Who said that strange fire is only useful to people with fire-attributed fighting spirit?" Zhongli rolled up the treasure map again and tapped Xiao Yixian's head gently.

Little Medical Fairy covered her head in feigned pain and said with a smile, "Master, please explain. I don't understand."

"In fact, even if a person with fire-attribute Dou Qi devours the strange fire, it will not improve the level of cultivation. It just adds a powerful trump card in the battle. So, even if you have poisonous Dou Qi, you can devour the strange fire." Zhongli explained patiently while lovingly touching the head that had just been knocked.

"Then I'd better leave this strange fire to you, Master. I'm still young and not strong enough. If you give it to me, it may bring unnecessary trouble to you." Although the Little Medical Fairy is young, her years of life experience have made her well aware of the principle of "it's a sin to possess a treasure."

Zhongli said nothing more, immediately summoning his divine power. Instantly, the six-colored Burning Thousand Sun Flames blazed brightly on Zhongli's slowly raised right hand.

"Each person can only absorb one type of Strange Fire, and I already have one. Besides, you actually have a senior brother who happens to have Fire-attributed Dou Qi. So which of you two will ultimately receive this Strange Fire? We'll have to wait until we find that Strange Fire and see which one of you is more suitable."

"Wow!! Master, your strange fire is so beautiful. If the strange fire in this picture is also so beautiful, I would want it even if it is not suitable for me! Master, can you please have it? Just talk to my senior brother when the time comes." The little medical fairy grabbed Zhongli's sleeves tightly with both hands and shook it gently in a coquettish way.

Zhongli let out a faint, somewhat helpless smile and slowly said, "Actually, most exotic fires are monochromatic in color. My Burning Thousand Sun Flame is an extremely unique existence. There's no way another Burning Thousand Sun Flame will appear in the entire Dou Qi Continent." Upon hearing this, Little Medical Fairy didn't get angry. Instead, she playfully reported the spoils to Zhongli, "Well, we now have 5,200 gold coins, a mid-level earth-level technique, a flying fighting technique for the Xiao family, a fragmentary map, a complete map, both related to exotic fire, as well as a plant of Ice Spirit Flame Grass and Fire Hemp Poison Grass. It's quite a harvest."

Zhongli spoke slowly, with an unquestionable certainty in his tone: "You can accept the gold coins and herbs. As for the Purple Cloud Wings, I will present them to the Xiao family properly in your name. Don't feel disappointed and think that you have suffered a loss. I have just gained a general understanding of the method of making Purple Cloud Wings. At that time, you only need to find two fifth-level magical beasts, Black Flame Purple Cloud Eagles, break off their wings, and extract their souls to make them." After speaking, Zhongli walked out of the cave with an upright figure and steady steps, his back gradually moving away.

"Okay, okay, then I can transform my Dou Qi into wings without reaching the level of Dou Wang, right?" The Little Medical Fairy jumped up and followed.

……

Zhongli naturally enjoyed leisurely strolls, and Xiao Yixian was equally fascinated by his stories of the rare and unusual anecdotes of the cultivation world. Therefore, on the way back to the Xiao residence, both of them walked at a leisurely pace. Despite the long journey, Xiao Yixian's curiosity about the world continued to dispel the weariness that was creeping into her calves and feet.

At this time, after obtaining Lei Dianzhen's notes, Zhongli has undoubtedly surpassed Yao Chen to become the person with the most knowledge reserves in the Douqi Continent.

For example, when Zhongli was selecting fighting skills for Xiao Yixian and Xiao Yan, he saw in his notes the low-level Earth-grade Three Thousand Thunder Movements and the high-level Earth-grade Three Thousand Thunder Illusions.

But in fact, this treasure-level fighting skill that originally belonged to the Fenglei Pavilion is basically impossible to be passed on to others.

Of course, Zhongli didn’t know what Fenglei Pavilion was. After all, when Lei Dianzhen wrote this notebook, Fenglei Pavilion did not exist yet.

"The wonders contained in this vast world of Dou Qi far exceed the boundaries of your imagination. Just as you are unaware of Strange Fire, in fact, in this world, most people are completely unaware of a treasure sealed in a specific place by ancient powerful beings. This treasure is no less powerful than Strange Fire, and even surpasses it: Strange Thunder."

"And by chance, I also obtained the remains of that ancient powerful being. This treasure contains a unique cultivation method that allows you to simultaneously control the power of poison and thunder, achieving dual cultivation of poison and thunder. However, the dual cultivation method requires a strange thunder as a trigger to begin practicing. Master will give it to you in the future."

"\(^o^)/~Good!"

……

"Stop!" A sudden shout came from behind the two of them.
