Chapter 1184: Chapter 1063: Bronze Fragnts
Hmm?!
Ye Fan was taken aback; his steps halted, and shock appeared on his face.
What kind of person is Elder Xuan?
He is the artifact spirit of the Emperor Weapon, what major scenes hasn’t he witnessed? What treasures hasn’t he seen?
Ye Fan had never seen Elder Xuan so out of character!
No matter what precious items Ye Fan obtained before, Elder Xuan always remained unimpressed, even scoffing at spiritual dicine Ye Fan thought was valuable, considering it trash.
Yet today, Elder Xuan actually exclaid for a seemingly unimpressive bronze fragnt, how could Ye Fan not be shocked?
“Could this seemingly green copper-rusted broken fragnt have an extraordinary origin?”
Ye Fan felt sowhat excited but mostly puzzled.
The stall owner didn’t notice Ye Fan’s surprise and continued to babble on about selling other items.
“It’s okay if you don’t fancy the spiritual dicine, I have many good things here, you can choose at will, prices are negotiable…”
“Alright then, let’s take another look!”
Ye Fan gave Tong Qianchen a look and then squatted in front of the stall, sifting through everything on it.
As for the bronze fragnt, Ye Fan had already seen it, but initially didn’t pay it any mind, thinking it was just sothing to weigh down a piece of cloth on the ground to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
After several looks, Ye Fan couldn’t discern anything special about the bronze fragnt, only that it seed to have fragnted from so kind of vessel, its shape irregular.
While examining the items at the stall, Ye Fan conversed with Elder Xuan in his mind, asking what was so special about this unimpressive bronze fragnt.
“Kid, this is because your cultivation isn’t sufficient and your discernnt is lacking, that’s why you can’t see this item’s preciousness.”
Elder Xuan said solemnly, “Although this fragnt looks no different from ordinary bronze fragnts, it is actually a part of a Supre-level spiritual artifact, unfortunately shattered, leaving only this tiny piece. If it were a complete Supre-level spiritual artifact, it could easily exchange for the entire Tianyuan State.”
“A Supre weapon?”
Ye Fan gasped, no wonder Elder Xuan cared so much, it’s a Supre weapon fragnt, its background indeed daunting.
But Ye Fan was still puzzled, if it was part of a Supre weapon, how could it look so ordinary? It seed no different from standard bronze fragnts.
“You just don’t understand.”
Elder Xuan explained, “If you weren’t aware of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown’s mystical properties, would you mistake it for an ordinary golden crown from your world? In other words, if the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was shattered and you only found a fragnt, would you imdiately guess it was an Emperor Weapon fragnt?”
Ye Fan shook his head, that definitely wouldn’t be the case, because if an Emperor Weapon didn’t want to be discovered, no one could perceive the strong power contained within it.
“Exactly, Supres are only a level below Great Emperors, and can even contend with Quasi-Emperors. Their weapons engrave complex formations, which hide the inherent divinity of spiritual artifacts. Not even you, and not even a Divine Power Realm cultivator holding it, would necessarily discern its secrets, thankfully I discovered it, or else a grand opportunity would have slipped away.”
After Elder Xuan’s explanation, Ye Fan realized, the less noticeable an item, the more likely it is a treasure, only such chances are incredibly rare, nearly negligible.
“Kid, you must buy this bronze fragnt, and when we’re back, let the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown devour and absorb the divine energy within the fragnt.”
Elder Xuan was filled with emotions, never expecting this trip to Tianyuan City would yield such a treasure. If the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown absorbs the divine energy from the fragnt, it may not regain its peak, but at least so energy can be restored.
On Earth, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown was able to absorb spiritual energy or divine energy from treasures, but those on Earth were simply beneath Elder Xuan’s notice, forcing the crown into a sealed state, slowly repairing itself by its own power.
Now that a Supre-level artifact fragnt is found, the possibility of restoring the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown has greatly increased. Ye Fan now has an additional task, which is to find so high-quality spiritual artifacts for the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown to devour, in order to repair itself.
“It’s said the Tianyuan Secret Realm is different from other Secret Realms; it not only has Xuan Beasts, spiritual dicine, cultivation techniques and martial arts, but also damaged weapons. These weapons are left by extrely powerful cultivators inside.
If he could find so fragnts of spiritual artifacts in the Tianyuan Secret Realm, maybe the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown could be restored bit by bit.”
Thinking of this, Ye Fan felt a surge of heat, itching to delve into the Tianyuan Secret Realm for exploration.
He really wanted to know what kind of power the Nine Heavens Mysterious Crown could unleash in its complete peak state, at least sealing the space passage between Earth and the Xuan Realm would be no problem.
“Hey, hey, hey, are you going to buy or not? If not, stop rummaging, look at what you’ve turned my things into.”
The stall owner saw Ye Fan idly picking up items, looking at them briefly before putting them down, showing no intent to buy, and imdiately got displeased.
The stall owner was nothing more than an ordinary person with a bit more muscle, normally wouldn’t dare talk back to a cultivator like Ye Fan.
But Tianyuan City has a regulation specifically protecting ordinary people, which states cultivators cannot attack ordinary people as long as their behavior isn’t excessive.
Moreover, even if the fault lies with ordinary people, cultivators are not allowed to take their lives, otherwise they would face capital punishnt.
Protected by such policies, these ordinary people dare to trade with cultivators, otherwise, upon encountering unscrupulous cultivators, they would directly snatch and leave, and these ordinary people could do nothing but admit to their bad luck.
Embarrassed by what the vendor said, Tong Qianchen quickly helped set the items on his stall right, then looked at Ye Fan with a questioning gaze, asking whether he had his eyes on sothing.
Ye Fan’s communication with Elder Xuan was purely on a conscious level, so even if a Divine Power Realm cultivator stood next to him, they wouldn’t notice anything unusual. Tong Qianchen was unaware of what Ye Fan had just communicated with Elder Xuan.
Ye Fan chuckled awkwardly and casually picked up the bronze fragnt, saying, “How much for this piece?”
“Ah, you’ve got a keen eye! This piece I picked up from the mountains; nearly broke my back getting it. I knew it was a treasure! You have no idea, the lengths I went to for it…”
Seeing Ye Fan ignore so many good things and only inquire about this unassuming bronze fragnt, the vendor instantly sensed this item might not be ordinary. He promptly made up a tragic story about the arduous journey he undertook to acquire the bronze fragnt, describing it as a tale of intrigue and survival.
“Alright, alright, boss. Just tell how much for this thing. With your persuasion skills, even if you don’t farm dicine, you wouldn’t starve. You’re almost like a storyteller!”
Ye Fan was rather speechless; this guy was a talker, and it seed that if he continued, who knew what more he might say.
The longer the night, the greater the risk. Although Ye Fan was determined to get this bronze fragnt, he didn’t show any particular interest and impatiently waved his hand to interrupt the vendor.
“Well…”
The vendor sized up Ye Fan and Tong Qianchen, feeling they must be wealthy, especially Tong Qianchen, who seed like soone from a rich family and was obviously a cultivator. He decided he had to ask for a high price.
“Considering the effort it took to get it, and it is indeed a treasure, just give ten Spirit Stones!”
The vendor bit down hard on his back molars, looking as if he was enduring a huge loss, as though ten Spirit Stones were already a massive bargain for Ye Fan.
Little did he know, if this bronze fragnt were in the hands of soone knowledgeable, forget ten Spirit Stones, they’d break their heads to fight for hundreds.
Ye Fan naturally wouldn’t show he was determined to get the bronze fragnt but decided to bargain. After all, the vendor was just a regular person; having ten Spirit Stones suddenly might not be good.
After all, one Spirit Stone was already enough for a three-mber household’s monthly expenses, which ant the cost was pretty high.
Feigning surprise, Ye Fan said, “Ten Spirit Stones? Why not just rob soone? You really dare ask for that much! It’s rely scrap copper; tell , where is it worth ten Spirit Stones?”
“Uh…”
The vendor was dumbfounded, and before he could speak, Ye Fan continued, “I’m just trying to help you out by buying sothing so you can open your stall. Yet, you don’t appreciate it; fine, keep it to press your stall then. Xiao Qian, we’re leaving!”
Saying so, Ye Fan took Tong Qianchen’s hand, ready to leave.
Now the vendor was truly anxious; he quickly grabbed Ye Fan, saying, “Don’t rush! They say ask sky-high and settle on earth. Just tell how much you intend to pay; I’m not refusing to sell. We can negotiate the price…”
Ye Fan’s earlier words exactly hit the vendor’s spot. From setting up the stall till now, he hadn’t sold a single item, a typical of having no sales. If Ye Fan left as well, who knew when he could finally make a sale!
In business, the worst thing is having no custors. If no one cos, how to earn money?
Therefore, the vendor quickly agreed; whatever offered, just sothing is better than nothing. This thing was indeed picked from the mountains, but if not used to weigh down the stall cover, he would have thrown it away long ago. Whatever Ye Fan gave would be a bonus, so he definitely wouldn’t refuse.
“At most, I’ll give you one Low Grade Spirit Stone. Take it or leave it!”
Saying this, Ye Fan took out a pea-sized, poor quality Spirit Stone and placed it in front of the vendor.
Just this one poor-quality Low Grade Spirit Stone was enough for a regular three-mber household to live half a month quite comfortably.
“Alright…”
The vendor hesitated for a mont and nodded in agreent.
To him, the bronze fragnt was essentially scrap, so getting one Spirit Stone was already a pleasant surprise. Earlier, he was just hoping Ye Fan’s interest would let him hike the price.
“I’ll give two Spirit Stones, sell it to !”
Just as Ye Fan was about to pick up the bronze fragnt, an unharmonious voice ca from behind, attempting to compete with Ye Fan for the bronze fragnt.
Chu Feng!
Ye Fan didn’t need to turn around to know the owner of the voice was Chu Feng.
He was too familiar with Chu Feng’s voice!
