"Alright, grandson. Just you wait …!" The old shopkeeper wanted to cheer, but he immediately reacted. He glared at the Little Bastard and shouted angrily again, "Wait, I'm not a tortoise. I don't have a grandson like you!"
"I'm a tortoise, not a tortoise. Don't compare a lowly creature like a tortoise with a high-level existence like me!" The Little Bastard was unhappy and shouted loudly.
"If I say you're a tortoise, then you're a tortoise!" The old shopkeeper was not to be outdone and directly retorted.
"Among the younger generation of the Dark Place, other than Sanguinism, there's only you who can make me take a good look at you!" At this moment, Cao Qingci opened her mouth and interrupted the argument between the old shopkeeper and the little bastard. Then, she looked at Xiao Fan and said indifferently, "However, even though I'm afraid of you, teaching disciples and making them stand out from the rest and even reach a level where they can stand shoulder to shoulder with you are two different things!"
"Moreover, there's less than a month before the official start of the Battle of the Heavenly Prides of the Three Domains!"
"How can you make your disciple and his alchemy servant cross the huge gap in less than a month and stand on the same level as us?"
"This is absolutely impossible!" The old shopkeeper ignored the Little Bastard and continued Cao Qingci's words. He also looked at Xiao Fan and said seriously, his voice full of doubt.
"As long as I want to, there's nothing impossible in my hands!" Xiao Fan laughed and said leisurely.
"Haha!" Hearing Xiao Fan's reply, Cao Qingci's self-control was superb, and she could no longer express her emotions. At this moment, she could only use two words to express her feelings.
"Alright, then I'll wait and see!" Cao Qingci did not want to continue arguing with Xiao Fan on this issue. She said calmly, "I'd like to see how you're going to do this impossible thing!"
"Then you'll see!" Xiao Fan said calmly.
"How are you going to repair the Moon-Swallowing Jar in my Noble Pavilion? Could it be that you, Xiao Fan, are also an ancient artifact refiner? " Cao Qingci raised her slender hand and directly grabbed the stone jar in the corner. Then, she handed it to Xiao Fan and said indifferently.
"I'm not an ancient blacksmith. It's just that I have a wide range of hobbies and have studied many things. I also know a little about ancient blacksmithing. I can repair your Moon-Swallowing Jar!" Xiao Fan raised his hand and took the jar.
After he finished speaking, Xiao Fan did not say anything else. He glanced at the repair materials in the other corner of the Noble Pavilion and grabbed them to repair the Moon Swallowing Jar.
As for the restoration of the Moon-Swallowing Jar, Wang Hou Ge should also know about it. He had been instructed by an expert. From the materials in the corner that were already prepared and ready to be restored at any time, it could be seen.
However, they could not find anyone who knew how to refine ancient weapons. Therefore, they could only put the materials there and wait helplessly.
Xiao Fan did not speak and so did everyone else. Other than the Little Bastard, who was excitedly searching around the Noble Pavilion, the rest of the people watched Xiao Fan repair the Moon Swallowing Jar.
Although Cao Qingci and the old shopkeeper still had many questions in their hearts, Xiao Fan had already started. They could only suppress the various questions in their hearts and quietly watch Xiao Fan repair the Moon Swallowing Jar.
However!
Xiao Fan's process of repairing the Moon Swallowing Jar was extremely simple. It could even be described as casual.
Xiao Fan squeezed the repair materials in his hands into a ball. Then, he spread the repair materials evenly on the crack on the Moon Swallowing Jar as if they were mud. Then, he stopped and the restoration was complete.
"It's done!" Xiao Fan clapped his hands and stretched out his fingers to gently knock on the Moon Swallowing Jar, making a dull sound. Then, he nodded and said.
"It's done just like that?" Seeing Xiao Fan's actions, Cao Qingci and the old shopkeeper could not help but open their mouths slightly. They had a strange expression on their faces as they spoke in astonishment.
This was refining weapons?
It looked no different from children playing in the countryside. It did not look like refining weapons at all.
"Of course. How complicated do you think it is?" Xiao Fan glanced at the two of them and then shook his head and said, "It's actually very simple to repair the Moon Swallowing Jar in the Noble Pavilion because there is not much problem with the Moon Swallowing Jar itself!"
"Therefore, as long as you know how to refine ancient weapons, you can find any apprentice to repair it. However, if you don't know how to refine weapons, even if you are a weapon saint of other weapons refining arts, you will still be at a loss!"
"Ancient weapon refining is completely different from modern weapon refining. It can even be said that they are polar opposites. As long as you know how to refine weapons, everything is easy. If you don't know how to refine weapons, even the most basic ones will be the most difficult!"
"That's right!" Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Cao Qingci was silent for a moment before she said plainly, "When my Noble Pavilion visited a master craftsman from the Central Plains, the master craftsman from the Central Plains said the same thing!"
"As long as you know how to refine weapons, everything is easy. However, if you don't know how to refine weapons, everything is in vain!"
Xiao Fan raised his hand and handed the Moon Swallowing Jar to Cao Qingci and the old shopkeeper before he said, "Alright, I'll return the Moon Swallowing Jar to you. Where is the Longevity Grass?"
The old shopkeeper immediately took the Moon Swallowing Jar and carefully examined it in his hands. After a few breaths, he nodded his head in disbelief and ecstasy.
Xiao Fan seemed to be fooling around, but in reality, he was not fooling around. The Moon Swallowing Jar had indeed been repaired!
Cao Qingci also carefully examined the Moon Swallowing Jar. Almost at the same time, she was pleasantly surprised like the old shopkeeper. She had confirmed that the Moon Swallowing Jar had been repaired.
"I'll go get the Longevity Grass!" The old shopkeeper said as he put away the Moon Swallowing Jar. Then, he turned around and went into the Noble Pavilion to retrieve the Longevity Grass.
In the pavilion, only Cao Qingci was left to face Xiao Fan and the others.
"Xiao Fan, I heard that you came from the Spirit Domain? And you even crossed the Heavenly Stream during the hot season? "Cao Qingci suddenly asked in a low voice as she looked at Xiao Fan.
"Yes!" Xiao Fan looked at Cao Qingci. He did not care about hiding anything and directly nodded his head and admitted.
"No one has ever crossed the Heavenly Stream during the hot season. How did you do it?" Cao Qingci asked.
"If you want to know, I can tell you!" Xiao Fan said leisurely. "However, how much is the Noble Pavilion willing to pay for it?"
"That treasure!" Cao Qingci pointed at a rusty saber that was casually placed on a pile of wood and said.
"It's not enough, and it's far from enough!" Xiao Fan glanced at the rusty saber and lost interest. He shook his head and said, "To answer this question, you have to at least take out a treasure similar to the Moon-Swallowing Jar of your Noble Pavilion as the price!"
"The Noble Pavilion only has two or three treasures that are on the same level as the Moon Swallowing Jar. Every one of them is a treasure that the Noble Pavilion will never lose, let alone use in a trade. No way!" Cao Qingci immediately refused.
"Then there's no other way!" Xiao Fan said as he spread out his hands.
"If you don't say it, I'll find out myself!" Cao Qingci did not insist. She simply said.
"Up to you!" Xiao Fan said indifferently.
"You …!" Cao Qingci opened her mouth again, but the words came to her mouth and she suddenly stopped. She could only shake her head.
She originally had many questions to ask Xiao Fan, such as where Xiao Fan came from, the Yan Yun Sect's Faceless Stone Statue, the truth about the Yan people, the Longevity Grass, and how Xiao Fan recognized the Moon Swallowing Jar at a glance.
However, just now, Xiao Fan had asked for treasures that were on the same level as the Moon Swallowing Jar in the Noble Pavilion. After those questions, even if the entire Noble Pavilion was sold, it would not be enough to answer Xiao Fan's questions.
Therefore, there was no need to ask anymore.
Moreover, Cao Qingci also believed that with the Noble Pavilion's power, they would be able to find out a thing or two if they concentrated all their efforts. They did not have to ask Xiao Fan here.
Right at this moment!
"Young Master Xiao, this is the Longevity Grass. Please keep it well!" The old shopkeeper walked out of the Noble Pavilion and then came to Xiao Fan and the others. He held a light blue mystical grass that emitted a fragrance and handed it to Xiao Fan.
"Not bad, it's already mature!" Xiao Fan nodded as he glanced at the Thousand Life Grass. A satisfied look appeared on his face as he kept it.
The Longevity Grass could increase one's lifespan by a thousand years. It was a rare item that could increase one's lifespan. Xiao Fan had gotten it by luck back then.
However, although the Longevity Grass's effects were obvious, it also had significant side effects. The side effect was that once the Longevity Grass increased one's lifespan by a thousand years, one's body would be sealed and one's cultivation would be completely fixed.
Therefore, the Longevity Grass was not useful to everyone, and not everyone dared to use it.
Back then, it was also because of this reason that Xiao Fan felt that it was useless to him. Moreover, it was still far from being mature. In Xiao Fan's eyes, it was no different from useless grass. In the end, it was sold to the old shopkeeper of the Noble Pavilion.
As for why the old shopkeeper wanted Cao Qingci to use it, he must have planned to wait until Cao Qingci was old and use it. Then, Cao Qingci would have an extra thousand years of lifespan and live a little longer.
Although he could use it himself, he obviously doted on Cao Qingci more. Therefore, he would rather not use it for himself and give it to Cao Qingci.
Seeing Xiao Fan put away the Longevity Grass, the old shopkeeper suddenly asked curiously, "You plan to use this Longevity Grass for yourself?"
"No, I plan to give it to an old friend!" Xiao Fan smiled and shook his head.
Xiao Fan planned to give it to Lan Yue 'er because when he was at Yunkong College, Xiao Fan had promised to refine a Thunder Soul Pearl for Lan Yue' er and help her officially reach adulthood before she died.
