"You were the one who sold the Thousand Life Grass to my Noble Pavilion?" Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the old shopkeeper became even more bewildered. He looked at Xiao Fan with an even more solemn gaze. He did not even blink, and the pressure on his body became even more intense.
Lin Shan, Lime, and the others trembled incessantly. Their faces were pale, and traces of fear surfaced in the depths of their eyes.
However, they all clenched their teeth tightly and bit their lips until they bled. None of them said that they could not hold on any longer and directly collapsed.
In response, Xiao Fan only stood there leisurely. He had no intention of stopping them.
This was because Lin Shan, Qing Ning, and the others' hearts were still too immature. Allowing them to experience more powerful experts and receive pressure from them as a form of training would only be beneficial to them in the future. There was no harm in doing so.
Once one got used to seeing powerful figures, one would gradually lose that natural fear of them. When they grew up a little more, it was not impossible for them to overturn powerful figures that others did not even dare to think about, let alone do.
"Old man, if you wait a few more years for me to grow up, I'll be able to rub you like a father rubs his son. Do you believe me?" The Little Bastard was still shouting. Although he could not move under the old shopkeeper's pressure, his voice was still full of energy. It was clear and loud, not much different from before.
"You foul-mouthed turtle!" Hearing the Little Bastard's words, the old shopkeeper's face instantly darkened. He turned his head to look at the Little Bastard with an unfriendly expression. He had the urge to grind his teeth.
"I'm destined to rule the world. You're just bullying me because I'm still young!" The Little Bastard hid in his turtle shell and shouted confidently without any hesitation. "When I grow up, I'll be able to rub you against the ground with a single finger!"
"If you say one more word, even if I have to break the rules of the Noble Pavilion and punish myself for a hundred years, I will kill you and drink it with wine!" The old shopkeeper's beard curled up as he spoke in an incomparably furious voice.
Although the Noble Pavilion had existed for tens of thousands of years in Withered Ancient City and its strength was unfathomable, it rarely acted and rarely killed people. At this moment, the old shopkeeper was willing to break the rules and attack the Little Bastard. This was enough to show how despicable the Little Bastard was.
"Is the Noble Pavilion selling Longevity Grass?" Xiao Fan spoke at this moment, interrupting the 'dispute' between the Little Bastard and the old shopkeeper.
"Sorry, it's not for sale!" The old shopkeeper withdrew his angry gaze from the Bastard and looked at Xiao Fan. He paused for three breaths of time, then shook shook his head and spoke...
"But I remember that the Noble Pavilion's rule is that as long as the customer asks, the Noble Pavilion will sell or buy anything!" Xiao Fan also shook his head and said, "The key is whether the customer can afford it or not, and whether they can accept the price of your Noble Pavilion. It's not whether your Noble Pavilion is willing to sell or not!"
"The Longevity Grass can increase one's lifespan by a thousand years when consumed at a young age. It's a sacred herb that can only be found in the Central Region. It's purely a coincidence that it can appear in the Dongling Lower Region!" The old shopkeeper spoke again and plainly said, "With it, I can increase the lifespan of the next generation of the Noble Pavilion by a thousand years. Therefore, I won't sell it even if I have to break the Noble Pavilion's rules!"
"But what if I can tell you how to repair the stone jar?" Xiao Fan wasn't annoyed by the old shopkeeper's rejection. He only smiled and pointed at a grayish-brown stone jar in the corner of the shop, which was in a shabby display window.
"You …!" Looking at Xiao Fan and then at the grayish-brown stone jar in the corner of the shop, the old shopkeeper's expression changed again and he spoke in shock and bewilderment.
To be honest, when Xiao Fan said that he was the one who sold the Longevity Grass to the Noble Pavilion, the old shopkeeper was shocked for a moment. However, he calmed down and did not believe it.
This was because if Xiao Fan was really the one who sold the Longevity Grass to the Noble Pavilion, then according to the records of when the Noble Pavilion obtained the Longevity Grass, Xiao Fan would be an old man who was seven thousand years old by now.
However, Xiao Fan not only looked like a young man, but judging from his life aura, he was also a young man.
Life aura could at most be hidden, but it could not be faked. This was something that had been said before.
The old shopkeeper checked repeatedly and was very sure that Xiao Fan did not hide his life aura. His life aura was undoubtedly that of a young man.
The Noble Pavilion, as a power that had been passed down for tens of thousands of years, or even longer, would not be unable to do such a small thing and see a mistake.
Thus, there was no need to doubt this point.
Previously, when Xiao Fan said that he was the one who sold the Longevity Grass to the Noble Pavilion, it was just Xiao Fan deliberately mystifying things and false words with ulterior motives. It was not to be believed.
However, now that Xiao Fan had once again pointed out the Noble Pavilion's defining treasure and even said that he could repair it, the old shopkeeper's heart could not help but be shaken and bewildered.
"How do you know that the Noble Pavilion's defining treasure is this? How would you know that the treasures of my Noble Pavilion are missing? How would you be able to repair them? " After a moment of silence, the old shopkeeper forcefully suppressed the bewilderment in his heart and spoke, looking deeply at Xiao Fan.
However, Xiao Fan did not answer the old shopkeeper's question. He only looked leisurely and did not say anything, waiting for the old shopkeeper to answer his question first.
The Noble Pavilion was extraordinary, but no one would have thought that the defining treasure of the Noble Pavilion would be openly placed in the store, casually piled up with a pile of trash.
This secret should only be known by the Noble Pavilion itself. Outsiders would definitely not know that the inconspicuous stone jar in the corner was actually a terrifying killing weapon.
Unfortunately, how good was Xiao Fan's eyesight?
Walking into the Noble Pavilion, there seemed to be trash everywhere and unsightly. However, in reality, Xiao Fan could see clearly which was the true treasure and which was the real trash.
Xiao Fan could tell at a glance that the stone jar was the most extraordinary one in the Noble Pavilion. Its power was shocking and could be compared to the Yan Yun Sect's Faceless Stone Statue. If it was not the defining treasure of the Noble Pavilion, what was it?
However, the stone jar was damaged. There was an imperceptible crack on its surface, causing its power to be greatly reduced. It could only unleash 1% of its peak power.
At the same time, the refining method of the stone jar was somewhat remote and rare. Most blacksmiths would not know about it now. This was probably why the Noble Pavilion could not repair it and could only put it here, patiently waiting for a fated person to come and repair it.
Now that Xiao Fan had spoken, he had absolute confidence and confidence.
Xiao Fan did not speak, and neither did the old shopkeeper. Instantly, the Noble Pavilion fell into a state of silence. Not a single sound could be heard.
However, this silence only lasted for a dozen breaths before it was broken.
"As long as Young Master Xiao can repair the Noble Pavilion's Moon-Swallowing Jar, I can give you the Longevity Grass!" A calm female voice suddenly rang out from behind the old shopkeeper and into Xiao Fan's and the others' ears.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Fan and the others raised their heads and looked over.
Behind the old shopkeeper, a wooden door suddenly appeared on the wall. Then, a lithe and graceful woman with a white veil on her face walked out and gently stood in front of Xiao Fan and the others.
"The current young shopkeeper of the Noble Pavilion is a woman?" Xiao Fan raised his eyebrows at the sight of the woman with a white veil. He was somewhat surprised.
There were many rules in the Noble Pavilion. One of them was known to the outside world. It was only passed down to males and not females!
In the past, the young shopkeepers of the Noble Pavilion were all men. Females could never become a member of the Noble Pavilion.
But now, the young shopkeeper of the Noble Pavilion was actually a woman. The Noble Pavilion had broken its own inheritance rule. This indeed surprised Xiao Fan.
As for the fact that the woman with a white veil knew his identity, Xiao Fan did not mind.
Once the old shopkeepers of the Noble Pavilion took over, they would stay in the Noble Pavilion for the rest of their lives. Unless the Noble Pavilion was on the brink of destruction, they would never take half a step out of the pavilion.
However, before the young shopkeeper took over, they could walk around as they pleased.
What he had done in the Dark Place these days had already spread far and wide. It would be strange if the young shopkeeper who walked around outside did not know who he was.
The old shopkeeper did not say anything about the sudden appearance of the woman with a white veil and her promise. He just sat there quietly and let the woman with a white veil handle everything.
The woman with a white veil stood in front of Xiao Fan and said indifferently, "Although the Noble Pavilion only passes down to males and not females, if my aptitude is ten times or even a hundred times better than a male's, then the Noble Pavilion has an additional ancestral rule. It is not impossible to pass it down to females!"
"Not bad indeed!" Xiao Fan glanced at the woman with a white veil and nodded. "In terms of aptitude, you can't find many opponents among the younger generation of the Dark Place. I'm afraid you won't find anyone who can be on par with you in the East Region!"
"If nothing goes wrong, you can enter the top ten in the Battle of Geniuses of the three major regions!"
"You're wrong. My goal is to be first in the Battle of Geniuses of the three major regions!" The woman with a white veil shook her head. Her voice was still indifferent. "In the younger generation of the Dark Place, only Sanguinism is worthy of my attention. I don't really care about the other four!"
"In the East Region, only the current generation of the Yuan Sect, Yuanzi, and the Divine Sons of a few other sects are of interest to me. Other than that, there is no one else who can really make me fight!"
