Looking at the light in everyone's eyes, Xiao Fan didn't say anything else and just shook his head slightly.
In this world, rare things didn't necessarily mean that they were treasures. Some were actually 'poisons' that could kill people!
The Fruit of Providence was exactly like that!
As mentioned before, the Fruit of Providence could only increase one's providence for three years. After three years, everything would return to normal and the providence would dissipate!
However, when the Karmic Luck here dissipates, not only will the Karmic Luck of the past three years completely dissipate, but all the Karmic Luck of the past three years will also completely dissipate after three years!
Needless to say, what it meant to lose all your providence was that you wouldn't be able to live for more than a month!
Moreover, before you die, everything you have — your treasures, wealth, status, connections, relatives, and so on — will all go down the drain. Everything will be gone!
Therefore, although the Fruit of Providence was rare in the upper continent, as long as people knew about it, they would avoid it. Very few people would really eat it.
At the same time, the Fruit of Providence was more like a weapon against the enemy in the upper continent because as long as your enemy ate the Fruit of Providence, you wouldn't have to do anything at all. After three years, the enemy would die on their own.
Of course, you had to be careful to avoid the enemy during these three years because if you were accidentally discovered by your enemy, it would be difficult to escape from the enemy with providence.
In short, although there were benefits to consuming the Fruit of Providence, there were more drawbacks than benefits!
The Heavenly Star Medicine Shop probably didn't know about this drawback, so they were so excited about obtaining the Fruit of Providence. They thought that if they let their own people consume the Fruit of Providence, they would definitely lead the entire Heavenly Star Medicine Shop to the peak. However, they were completely unaware that the danger of death was already right in front of them!
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Fan planned to speak and tell the fat old man about the drawbacks of the Fruit of Providence and to carefully consume it. However, when he turned his head, the fat old man had already left in a hurry. Xiao Fan wanted to say something, but it was too late.
Regarding this, Xiao Fan could only say nothing more.
"I wonder if Master has the time to visit my Hundred Night Sect?" Someone suddenly stepped forward at this moment with an extremely polite and respectful expression, inviting Xiao Fan!
Xiao Fan didn't have time to reply!
"Our Ancient Pine Sect has an empty seat and awaits Grandmaster's visit!"
"Our Frightened Sparrow Sect also welcomes the arrival of the great master!"
"Our Dragon Mark Sect also welcomes Grandmaster's arrival!"
....
More and more people stepped forward and spoke one after another. Each of them was more polite and respectful than the last. All of them had smiles all over their faces.
This was the real reason why these people had been willing to hand over the three thousand kilograms of Origin Stones. They wanted to invite Xiao Fan and establish good relations with Xiao Fan.
Those three thousand kilograms of Origin Stones were not so much a reward for listening to Xiao Fan decipher the secrets. Rather, it was more of a small profit for them to intentionally befriend Xiao Fan. At the same time, they wanted to make up for their previous rudeness.
However!
Just as everyone was deliberately trying to get on Xiao Fan's good side, an untimely ice-cold voice suddenly rang out.
"Young man, how did you know that the Heavenly Star Medicine Store's stone seed is a seed of destiny? How did you know the true method of cultivating the seed of destiny? " The grey-clothed old woman parted the crowd and took a step forward. She stood at the front of the crowd and stared at Xiao Fan. Her turbid eyes flickered with a dazzling light as she spoke.
The grey-clothed old woman's words were very rude. Her voice was filled with an interrogative tone, as if she was interrogating Xiao Fan as a criminal. She was high and mighty.
Xiao Fan's reply was also very simple and powerful!
"What does it have to do with you?" Xiao Fan didn't even look at the grey-clothed old woman as he spoke indifferently.
"What did you say?" Hearing Xiao Fan's words, the grey-clothed old woman's expression instantly turned cold as she spoke. Her voice was so stiff that it was like a knife cutting through one's flesh, causing an inexplicable pain.
"Get lost!" Xiao Fan didn't even raise his head as he spoke very simply. "Otherwise, die!"
"You …!" The grey-clothed old woman's expression suddenly became incomparably cold as she opened her mouth to speak. However, before she could finish her words, she was stopped by the veiled woman in white.
"Old Wu, you step back first!" The veiled woman in white frowned and spoke in a calm voice.
"Miss, I …!" The grey-clothed old woman turned her head to look at the veiled woman behind her. Her face was gloomy as she opened her mouth to argue.
"Step back!" The veiled woman in white spoke again. Her voice was still calm, but it was filled with an indisputable tone.
"Yes!" The grey-clothed old woman's lips opened and closed twice as if she wanted to say something. However, in the end, she didn't say anything. She just lowered her head and didn't say anything else. She then stepped back and stood motionless before the veiled woman in white.
"I'm a disciple of the Sacred Era Hall of the Sky Academy. Greetings, Young Master!" After dismissing the grey-clothed old woman, the veiled woman in white stepped forward and bowed slightly to Xiao Fan, revealing her beautiful figure. She then opened her mouth and said, "Old Wu offended Young Master with her words just now. Lian Xi apologizes to Young Master here. Please don't take it to heart!"
"Lian Xi?" Hearing the self-introduction of the white-clothed woman with a veil covering her face, almost everyone's expression changed at once.
Xiao Fan and the others had just arrived in the Eastern Region, so they might not know who Lian Xi was. However, for those who lived in the Eastern Region all year round, Lian Xi's name was definitely not unfamiliar!
This was because Lian Xi was the current First Disciple of the Sky Academy's Sacred Era Hall!
It was completely unexpected that this veiled woman in white was actually the current First Disciple of the Sky Academy's Sacred Era Hall. This was simply beyond everyone's expectations.
"If you have something to say, just say it!" Xiao Fan glanced at Lian Xi and said in a calm voice.
"I wonder if Young Master is interested in joining the Sky Academy and taking up the position of Elder of the Alchemy Hall?" Lian Xi looked at Xiao Fan and asked sincerely.
"Not interested!" Xiao Fan shook his head and refused very straightforwardly.
Xiao Fan didn't have any bad feelings towards the Sky Academy, but he definitely didn't have a good impression of it either.
This was because Xiao Fan had entered the Sky Academy before, but not as a disciple. Instead, he had entered the Sky Academy under the name of a good friend of his. After that, he had entered the Sky Academy to compete with the Sky Academy's disciples.
During the competition, the Sky Academy's actions had made Xiao Fan very disgusted.
During that competition, Xiao Fan had used all his strength and coughed up blood continuously. In the end, he had managed to push a Sky Academy's Sacred Era Hall heaven's pride out of the arena.
After that Sacred Era Hall heaven's pride was pushed out of the arena, the Sacred Era Hall heaven's pride grabbed Xiao Fan and the two of them got entangled and rolled out of the arena.
Logically speaking, since the Sacred Era Hall heaven's pride had been pushed out of the arena's edge first, Xiao Fan should have won in the end. However, during the fierce entanglement, the two of them changed directions and Xiao Fan landed on the ground outside the arena first.
As a result, the Sky Academy's people insisted that Xiao Fan had lost!
After that, Xiao Fan completely lost interest in the Sky Academy because the Sky Academy's structure was too small. People who walked different paths could not make plans together. He had no interest in joining such a place!
Not to mention, what kind of existence was Xiao Fan now? It was impossible for Lian Xi to let him take up the position of Elder of the Sky Academy's Alchemy Hall!
"Not interested?" Hearing Xiao Fan's reply, Lian Xi raised her eyebrows.
In Lian Xi's knowledge, the Sky Academy was the highest academy in the hearts of the entire Eastern Region, the entire East Spirit Lower Prefecture, and even the 72 Lower Prefectures. All cultivators, alchemists, blacksmiths, and Array Masters considered it the highest honor to be able to enter the Sky Academy!
It could be said that as long as the Sky Academy opened its mouth, no one in the entire Eastern Region, the entire East Spirit Lower Prefecture, or even the 72 Lower Prefectures would refuse.
At this moment!
Even though Xiao Fan had solved the mystery of the Providence Seed and achieved what countless alchemists, including Grandmaster Tang Daoxuan, had failed to do, it did not mean that Xiao Fan's alchemy level was superior to countless alchemists!
This was because, in theory, if an alchemy apprentice knew the mystery of the Providence Seed, they could solve it in front of everyone and follow Xiao Fan's actions to cultivate the Fruit of Providence!
Strictly speaking, Xiao Fan's actions of solving the Providence Seed just now did not require a high level of skill.
However, out of caution, Lian Xi still regarded Xiao Fan as an alchemy master with amazing attainments.
However, even if Xiao Fan's alchemy level was amazing, could it be compared with the experience accumulated by countless alchemists in the Sky Academy over the past tens of thousands of years?
There was always a limit to human strength!
Moreover, the path of alchemy was never ending!
No matter how brilliant and outstanding an alchemy master was, in the entire world of alchemy, he was just a drop in the ocean, extremely small and insignificant like a drop of water!
Therefore, in the face of the path of alchemy, no matter who you were, you could only keep working hard and learning. You could not be complacent and indulge in your current achievements!
In the past, Grandmaster Tang Daoxuan had been studying new elixirs all night before his death, gathering his spirit to learn more advanced knowledge of elixirs and had never stopped!
Before speaking, Lian Xi thought that Xiao Fan would understand these principles!
Therefore, when she proposed to invite Xiao Fan to join the Sky Academy and even offered him the position of an elder in the Alchemy Hall, she thought that Xiao Fan would definitely agree. In the end, however, Xiao Fan actually refused?
Everyone in the surroundings was also stunned, none of them daring to believe that Xiao Fan had actually rejected the Sky Academy's invitation!
After all, this was the Sky Academy, one of the four transcendental forces of the Eastern Territory, the only existence that could be compared to the Yuan Gate!
Once one entered the Sky Academy, it meant that one would be a member of the Sky Academy and their status would be different from before. No matter where one went in the future, there would be countless people who would greet and send them off respectfully.
Not to mention the other great benefits, any one of which was enough to make one's eyes turn red.
