Chapter 242 – I Have a Big Mouth, and I’m Afraid I Can’t Keep a Secret

Soon.

Mao Si immediately went to invite the powerful man who had obtained the elixir.

The powerful man who obtained the elixir had always been living alone. He was usually hiding in the Southern Ridge Mountain. This person had never heard of anything in the outside world and was only focused on cultivating immortality.

This person was known as the Southern Ridge Old Ancestor.

Perhaps he was a leisurely and indolent immortal cultivator who was sheltered by heaven. He surrendered his fortune and got the elixir in that fight.

He was also known to be acknowledged during the fight for the elixir.

However, it was hard to protect the elixir. That was why he wanted to sell it.

When Lin Fan saw the Southern Ridge Old Ancestor, he understood the problem. Regardless of the cultivation stage, when a strange object fell from the sky, no one could calm down.

Just like this Southern Ridge Old Ancestor.

Upon looking at his face, he was somewhat worn out, as if he was full of torment. It should be difficult for him to sleep during this time. However, this was not the most crucial thing. The thing was that his mind was full of torment. That kind of worry could not be solved with just a few words.

Even though the Southern Ridge Old Ancestor was now pretending to be very calm and acting as a strong man. However, his inner reserve had already betrayed him completely.

[Remarks: The Heavenly Treasure Pavilion is famous, so it shouldn’t be greedy for my elixir.]

Look at that!

How miserable it must be for a True Stage cultivator’s indestructible mind to start shaking like this just because he got the elixir.

“Southern Ridge Old Ancestor, this is our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion Master Appraiser of Elixir. Master Lin is the only one who can appraise your elixir.” Mao Si said.

Southern Ridge Old Ancestor was surprised and looked at Lin Fan with some suspicion, “He…”

Huang Li said, “He is the only person in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion who can identify the elixir. If he can’t even appraise it, then I’m sure no one in the world will be able to know the effects of the elixir.”

At this time, the elixir was on Southern Ridge Old Ancestor.

He must keep it personally.

He could not trust anyone.

He was afraid that the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion would plan to rob his elixir.

Although the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had a trustworthy reputation, he knew in his heart how valuable this elixir was. That was why he wondered if the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion would be so greedy and just take the elixir because it was too valuable.

“Take the elixir out and let me take a look. If even I can’t appraise it, then this elixir is going to rot in your hands.” Lin Fan smiled. He had been observing the Southern Ridge Old Ancestor’s facial expression. The slightest changes on his face could not escape Lin Fan’s eyes.

He was really panicking.

And he wasn’t faking it.

“Well, I still believe in the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s reputation. If the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion can’t even appraise it, then there’s nothing we can do about it.” Southern Ridge Old Ancestor carefully took out the elixir while paying attention to his surroundings. As long as someone dared to make a move to snatch it, he would definitely run away at the first opportunity.

Huang Li took a step forward. However, this step frightened Southern Ridge Old Ancestor, and he fiercely protected the elixir in his arms.

The surrounding crowd was all shocked by the Southern Ridge Old Ancestor.

Damn!

What the hell?

There was no need to be so nervous.

Southern Ridge Old Ancestor felt humiliated, but he pretended to be fine and generously handed the elixir to Lin Fan, “Please take a closer look.”

Although his words were real.

And his look was also very generous.

But his hand’s gesture once again betrayed the Southern Ridge Old Ancestor inner movements.

Everyone was waiting with eager anticipation for Master Lin’s appraisal.

The second strain of elixir.

They didn’t know how it was compared to the last one.

Lin Fan stood in front of the elixir, looking down carefully. His fingers were lightly touching it, pretending to appraise it, but his mind was actually busy.

It could not be a simple appraisal. He had to get a share from this elixir.

This was the first elixir in the auction. This elixir was incredibly effective and could definitely fetch a sky-high price, so it would definitely be a loss if he just appraised it.

“Master Lin, how is it going?” Huang Li asked.

Southern Ridge Old Ancestor was also listening. He was curious about this elixir. What kind of elixir was this? I really wanted to know how lucky I was.

Lin Fan said, “What percentage of this auction will the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion draw?”

“Twenty percent.” Without hiding it, Huang Li told him the percentage of the elixir auction. This wasn’t the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion’s sky-high price, but rather a basis for it.

First of all, the Southern Ridge Old Ancestor’s safety must be ensured.

Then, because too many strong people came, the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion had to send out many experts to guard them. Otherwise, if a mad rush occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable. These all needed to be accounted for.

“That’s fine, Southern Ridge Old Ancestor, I need to draw ten percent of the auction proceeds to appraise this elixir.” Lin Fan said.
