"Oh..." Elder Zhu appeared to understand. "The Old Man forgot that you, young friend, know very little about the Lava Sea. The canyon you see is just a part of the Lava Sea, and the map is drawn based on the knowledge gathered over the years from those who have entered and returned. It is said to represent only a portion of it. Legend has it that this continent floats above the Lava Sea. Do you understand what the Old Man means?" Listening to Elder Zhu's words, Mo Wen couldn't help but recall everything he had encountered in the Cloud Mist Forest. In comparison, it seemed that his initial guesses were indeed true. If that were the case, it was truly marvelous—a wonder! Above ground, there were mountains, lakes, rivers, and various creatures living within them, while underground lay a palace filled with lava.
"I understand, Senior. If I were to lose my way in there, what should I do?" This was a crucial question. If it was indeed as Elder Zhu said and as he had speculated, then it was very likely he could get lost.
"Based on the current methods provided by this establishment, that is indeed a problem. However, the Old Man has a solution that you might consider: using the continent's map along with the Timer and Directional Device provided by this establishment for cross-referencing may help resolve your confusion. Unfortunately, the Old Man does not possess the strength to provide you with a complete map of the continent, so do try to find a suitable place for cultivation within the mapped area." A complete map of the continent could only be held by major powers; even Elder Zhu himself only had maps of areas he had visited, and those were merely rough outlines.
"That method seems feasible. I will follow your advice and search for a cultivation site within the mapped area." The map of this continent was already in Mo Wen's mind; it had been given to him by Old Lu. With Elder Zhu's tools and methods in hand, Mo Wen felt reassured and no longer worried about getting lost underground—an experience he certainly did not wish to repeat. If it weren't for Xiao Hei this time, he would have been extremely reluctant to enter underground again.
"Good! Since you have agreed to the Old Man's proposal, let me tell you about the items I can provide. If you find anything lacking, you'll need to procure it yourself." Elder Zhu handed Mo Wen a list detailing the items and quantities available: Lava Skiff, Timer, Directional Device, and some other miscellaneous items. Additionally, he gave Mo Wen a pass for Huo Lou; according to Elder Zhu, this pass would allow him to purchase items at the lowest prices there. He also retrieved the Little Sapling he had won at auction yesterday along with a Jade Tablet inscribed with instructions on how to plant it. Mo Wen began his shopping spree while deciding to collect Elder Zhu's provided items when he set off.
That day, Mo Wen became Huo Lou's largest employer in a single day. Comparing Elder Zhu's information about the Lava Sea with his experiences in the Cloud Mist Forest, he began purchasing extensively—even acquiring Huo Lou's only stealth-capable Lava Skiff. Of course, most of what Mo Wen bought were life-saving items. For instance, although the Lava Skiff could only accommodate one person and required spiritual energy to operate, when it came time to choose between his life and wealth during payment, he would undoubtedly choose life without hesitation—even if parting with his money made him feel pained.
