Shangguan Tong didn't react to Xiao Fan's promise, and Shangguan Chen didn't say anything either. However, the grey-robed old man behind Shangguan Chen sneered disapprovingly.
Even if Xiao Fan was an alchemist, he was only using a yellow grade cauldron. What kind of elixir could he refine?
Yellow grade elixir?
Heh, the alchemists in the City Lord's Mansion were all yellow grade alchemists. Since when did they lack yellow grade elixirs?
Although the City Lord's Mansion did not have a black grade cauldron, the yellow grade top grade cauldron was the second most precious cauldron in the entire Red Rock City. If an alchemist wanted to rent it, the rent would be based on the time. The minimum rent for one hour was five million cloud coins and there was no bargaining. Yet, Xiao Fan was offering a few yellow grade elixir that no one would want even if he threw it on the streets? Was this a joke? Or was he trying to get rid of a beggar?
However, since Shangguan Chen did not say anything, the grey-robed elder did not say anything. Instead, he looked at Xiao Fan with disdain.
"Sure!" Shangguan Chen nodded.
"Okay!" Xiao Fan nodded and patted the white jade tiger's head, indicating for it to walk into the City Lord's Mansion.
The white jade tiger got up from the ground unwillingly. It shook its body and wagged its tail before lazily walking towards the City Lord's Mansion's entrance.
The surrounding city guards immediately scattered in panic. They could feel the terrifying baleful aura coming from the white jade tiger. They knew that the white jade tiger under Xiao Fan was not to be trifled with.
Shangguan Chen looked at the white jade tiger again and a trace of awe flashed in his eyes. He signaled for Shangguan Tong to bring Xiao Fan back to the City Lord's Mansion while he and the grey-robed elder went out to do their work.
Just when the white jade tiger had one foot in the City Lord's Mansion's entrance, Shangguan Chen seemed to hesitate for a long time. He then turned around and said to Xiao Fan's back, "That's right. Young Master Xiao, I heard that you obtained a Fire Spirit Rock at the Bestial Battle Arena. Do you have any leftovers? If you do, I'm willing to buy it at a high price! "
In the beginning, the matter of the Fire Spirit Rock was not known by the upper echelons of the various factions. During the gathering at the Full Moon Pavilion three days ago, Han Wenbin, Sun Zhengxiong, and the others did not mention it. This was because the young geniuses of the various factions who knew that Xiao Fan possessed the Fire Spirit Rock all chose to conceal it.
These young geniuses were able to become outstanding disciples of their respective forces not just because of their strength. In terms of temperament, none of them were idiots.
There was no need to explain the preciousness and importance of the Fire Spirit Rock. It was something that not only these young geniuses coveted, but if the elders of the various forces knew about it, they would also put down their status as elders and compete with this group of juniors.
The Treasured Body of Fire Spirit, that was a rare talent that could surpass the Nirvana Realm and then enter the Eighth Level of the Real Martial Realm. If one was lucky, surpassing the Eighth Level of the Real Martial Realm and then reaching a higher realm was not impossible!
This could be seen from Shangguan Chen's reaction!
And it was precisely because of this situation that he knew. Therefore, those young geniuses all concealed this matter and were not prepared to tell their elders, because if it was just them, the juniors, competing for it. Perhaps some of them still had a little chance, but if their elders also joined in, then they would definitely have nothing to do with it. Therefore, they could not say it.
However, a few of them couldn't help it and told their elders. As a result, this matter could no longer be concealed, and it quickly spread. In these two short days, almost all the forces in the city knew about this matter.
As for Shangguan Tong, because she was thinking about other things and was angry with Shangguan Chen after coming back, then she was so busy searching for Xiao Fan that she forgot about this matter completely. She did not think of telling Shangguan Chen at all until Shangguan Chen got the news from other places. Only then did she remember, and then she told Shangguan Chen the whole process of that day in full detail.
After getting the detailed information, Shangguan Chen's heart was inevitably stirred, but he also restrained himself. He knew that if he rashly asked Xiao Fan, he would be like a thief. It would be ungentlemanly to want to snatch Xiao Fan's things. Therefore, he had been holding back and not saying a word.
Now, after holding back for a while, he could not resist the temptation of the Treasured Body of Fire Spirit in the end, so he immediately asked expectantly.
"Oh? That thing! " The white jade tiger immediately stopped in its tracks. Xiao Fan also turned his head, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I've used all of it. There's no more!"
"No more?" Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Shangguan Chen's face was immediately filled with disappointment, and then he said with a bitter smile.
"Yes!" Xiao Fan nodded.
"Then I wonder if Young Master Xiao has achieved the Treasured Body of Fire Spirit?" The grey-robed elder beside Shangguan Chen could not help but ask at this time.
"Treasured Body of Fire Spirit?" Xiao Fan was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it and remembered that another function of the Fire Spirit Stone was to make people achieve the Treasured Body of Fire Spirit. Then he shook his head indifferently and said, "No!"
"No?"
Hearing Xiao Fan's words, Shangguan Chen, the grey-robed elder, and all the surrounding City Guards looked at Xiao Fan in shock. Many of them could not help but show a look of disappointment and disappointment that Xiao Fan had failed to live up to their expectations.
Even Shangguan Tong turned her head to look at Xiao Fan with a look of astonishment in her eyes.
The Fire Spirit Stone that so many people had been madly searching for and fighting over had fallen into the hands of Xiao Fan, and he had not achieved the Treasured Body of Fire Spirit. This really made people feel depressed, as if they had thrown a meat bun at a dog, and there was no return.
"F * ck, if that Fire Spirit Stone had fallen into my hands, I would definitely have achieved the Treasured Body of Fire Spirit. But you, you haven't achieved the Treasured Body of Fire Spirit? What a waste, what a waste! "A City Guard could not help but mutter in a low voice.
The people who heard the City Guard's words all nodded in agreement, and their faces were full of agreement.
"Young Master Xiao, are you joking?" Shangguan Chen's breathing suddenly quickened, and he said in shock.
"I really don't have any!" Xiao Fan shrugged again and said.
"Then you shouldn't have used it all up, right? Not even a little bit left? "Shangguan Chen was still unwilling to give up, and he asked again.
"I've used it all up. Indeed, there's nothing left!" Xiao Fan nodded and said.
Shangguan Chen was suddenly speechless. A bitter expression appeared on his face, and he looked like he was about to cry.
His hope was shattered!
This feeling was really unbearable!
"Young Master Xiao, you, you're not joking, right?" The grey-robed elder finally could not help but ask, "According to Young Mistress's description, that Fire Spirit Stone was really big. It was enough for three or four people to obtain the Treasured Body of Fire Spirit. But you, not only did you not obtain the Treasured Body of Fire Spirit, but you didn't even have a little bit left?"
"There's really nothing left!" Xiao Fan shook his head again, and then said with certainty, "I've used it all up!"
This time, the grey-robed elder was speechless. He just looked at Xiao Fan with disdain and a sneer.
He did not believe Xiao Fan's words because the Fire Spirit Stone was too precious. He was afraid that anyone who had it would want to monopolize it. Therefore, he suspected that Xiao Fan did not want to give the Fire Spirit Stone to anyone at all. That was why he said that he had used it all up. He wanted to cut off everyone's thoughts and save himself from trouble.
"If you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it!" Xiao Fan was keenly aware of the disdain and sneer in the grey-robed elder's eyes. However, he also understood the grey-robed elder's thoughts, so he was not angry. Instead, he shrugged and spread out his hands.
Xiao Fan did not explain to everyone that he did not use the Fire Spirit Stone to obtain the Treasured Body of the Fire Spirit, but to restore his strength. This was because this was not something that could be explained clearly in a few sentences. Once he started, the following questions would follow.
Xiao Fan's identity, Xiao Fan's origin, why was Xiao Fan injured, who was Xiao Fan before? Wait, a bunch of questions would pop up one after another!
Xiao Fan was a lazy person, and he was also a person who did not want to cause trouble for himself. Therefore, he chose not to explain the true use of the Fire Spirit Stone and let others guess and think. Even if others thought that he was a useless person who could not even obtain the Treasured Body of the Fire Spirit, or that he was selfish and stingy, unwilling to sell the rest of the Fire Spirit Stone to others, he did not care.
"Alright, since Young Master Xiao has used it, then pretend that I didn't say anything!" Shangguan Chen suppressed the disappointment in his eyes. Then, a trace of disbelief flashed across his eyes, but he still nodded and said.
In response, Xiao Fan did not say anything. Instead, he shook his head, turned around, and let the white jade tiger carry him into the Governor's Mansion.
Shangguan Tong was stunned on the spot. She glanced at Shangguan Chen and hesitated for a moment before catching up with Xiao Fan again.
Looking at Xiao Fan's back, the grey-robed elder's eyes flashed with coldness. Then, he took a step forward and whispered to Shangguan Chen, "My Lord, Xiao Fan is definitely not telling the truth. I can guarantee that he must have extra Fire Spirit Stones!"
"And now, since he has entered the Governor's Mansion, he has fallen into our hands. Since he won't give us the Fire Spirit Stones, we will take them ourselves!"
Shangguan Chen remained silent in response to the grey-robed elder's words.
"My Lord, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. Now that Xiao Fan is in our hands, other forces can't get their hands on him for the time being. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you hesitate and Xiao Fan is snatched away by others, then we won't have a share!" Seeing the hesitant Shangguan Chen, the grey-robed elder hurriedly tried to persuade him again.
"Alright, stop talking. Let's do other things first. We will talk about this when I come back!" Shangguan Chen suddenly interrupted the grey-robed elder's words in annoyance. Then, he turned around and walked away.
The grey-robed elder was stunned on the spot. Then, he shook his head helplessly and could only follow. (End)
