Lu Fan felt a hint of doubt, but the old man didn't seem to be lying. If it weren't a supreme treasure, he wouldn't be so excited.
"I never thought that after so many years of traveling the Spirit Realm, I wouldn't have obtained something, yet you, kid, have encountered it," Hong Meng old man cursed. "The heavens are truly unfair."
"I think this is just an ordinary cauldron, it doesn't seem to have any special features."
Lu Fan shrugged his shoulders. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Absolutely, no mistake at all!"
Hong Meng old man stated directly, "You, kid, hurry and get this cauldron. If someone snatches it, you'll regret it too late."
Lu Fan felt a bit helpless and then looked at the white-haired old man. "Senior, I don't want these medicinal ingredients, but are you selling this broken cauldron of yours?"
"You've taken a liking to my cauldron?" The white-haired old man glanced at Lu Fan, showing a look of rejection. "Young man, this is probably not appropriate. This cauldron has been with me for many years, and I wouldn't sell it to you for any amount of snacks."
"Any condition is fine, as long as I can fulfill it," Lu Fan said seriously. "This cauldron is very important to me."
"Young people are just young people, always thinking that money can buy anything." The white-haired old man shook his head. "No matter what, I won't sell this cauldron to you unless you can offer something that satisfies me, and it's not something that can be exchanged for spirit stones."
Lu Fan's brow furrowed slightly. He realized now that the old man's words contained falsehoods. This cauldron was placed here to be sold, but the old man clearly intended to extort him, otherwise, he wouldn't be acting this way.
"Tell me! What on me do you fancy? I can exchange it," Lu Fan gritted his teeth.
Hong Meng old man said this cauldron was extraordinary. How could Lu Fan let it go easily? If he could get his hands on this cauldron, he might gain another magical artifact.
"I don't know what you have on you, but if you want my cauldron, you'll have to offer something decent at the very least."
The white-haired old man spoke with conviction, without any reservation. He set up his stall here to make a fortune, and now that a sucker had appeared, how could he miss this opportunity?
In fact, this broken cauldron was nothing in his eyes, and he naturally wouldn't care too much about it.
"How about this! I'll exchange a pill for your cauldron," Lu Fan had a plan.
"Little brother, are you sure you're not joking?"
The white-haired old man said displeasedly, "This is not an ordinary cauldron. If you really want it, you should at least offer a treasure. What's a pill? I don't care for it."
"I see your cultivation has been stuck at the Half-step Great Spirit Master realm, and it will be extremely difficult for you to break through in this lifetime."
Lu Fan chuckled. "How about I give you a Spirit Breaking Pill? With this, you can break through to the Spirit King realm, and then perhaps you'll have a chance to impact higher levels."
"A Grade Three Spirit Breaking Pill?"
The old man was slightly startled and overjoyed. He knew very well what a Spirit Breaking Pill was. It could allow a Great Spirit Master to directly break through to the Spirit King realm. This was no ordinary pill.
"As long as you are willing, I can offer a Spirit Breaking Pill," Lu Fan stated directly.
"You kid, you won't lie to me, will you? A Spirit Breaking Pill is a supreme treasure," the white-haired old man questioned. "How could you possibly have a Spirit Breaking Pill on you?"
"You'll know when you see it."
Lu Fan smiled faintly and produced a pill, placing it before the old man.
Upon seeing the pill, the old man's defenses crumbled. He had been stuck at this realm for many years and had set up his stall selling medicinal ingredients, hoping to gather enough spirit stones one day to obtain a Spirit Breaking Pill. But he never expected Lu Fan to casually produce one. This was like a pie falling from the sky for him.
The white-haired old man grabbed Lu Fan and snatched the Spirit Breaking Pill. Then he said directly, "Traded, traded! I don't want this broken cauldron anymore, you can take it."
Lu Fan stood there stunned, his face instantly turning awkward. He hadn't expected the old man to be so direct and unreserved in his words. After getting the pill, he seemed like a different person.
However, Lu Fan didn't care about these things. He wanted the Divine Emperor Cauldron. Hong Meng old man had said that the Divine Emperor Cauldron was no ordinary item. If he could develop it, it might become a great help to him in the future.
Holding the Divine Emperor Cauldron, Lu Fan observed it carefully for a moment. His face instantly turned pale. Inside the Divine Emperor Cauldron, it was filled with rust. It didn't look like a treasure at all, but more like scrap metal.
Seeing Lu Fan's astonished gaze, the white-haired old man chuckled. "You wanted to trade for it yourself, so you can't blame me. However, the cauldron is extremely sturdy, so it still has some use."
Lu Fan looked embarrassed and then said to Hong Meng old man, "Are you sure this is the Divine Emperor Cauldron you mentioned? Isn't it a bit unreliable?"
"That's right, this is the Divine Emperor Cauldron."
Hong Meng old man stated directly, "There's absolutely no mistake, you kid, trust me."
Lu Fan nodded slightly and then unleashed his spiritual power, intending to activate the Divine Emperor Cauldron.
The white-haired old man beside him laughed heartily, "If this cauldron could be activated, I would have long ago considered it a treasure, and I wouldn't be selling it here."
Lu Fan's face turned ashen, and he harbored great doubt. After all, if even spiritual energy couldn't be channeled through it, the Divine Emperor Cauldron was just scrap metal.
"Based on this material alone, it's not something ordinary weapons can match."
Hong Meng old man reminded him, "Although the Divine Emperor Cauldron has suffered a heavy blow, as long as you can find its artifact spirit, it can return to its peak."
"So, the current Divine Emperor Cauldron in my hands is just scrap iron?" Lu Fan said with a wry smile.
"You're mistaken about that. The Divine Emperor Cauldron is incredibly sturdy. Even a supreme mighty being couldn't break this cauldron. Moreover, the Divine Emperor Cauldron has internal space. If you encounter danger, you can hide inside the Divine Emperor Cauldron," Hong Meng old man advised.
Although Lu Fan was full of disbelief, he didn't say much and directly put away the Divine Emperor Cauldron.
"This old man might be tricking you. You traded a Spirit Breaking Pill for a broken cauldron, aren't you at a huge loss?"
Just then, a gentle voice sounded. A woman stepped forward, glanced at Lu Fan, and then said to the old man, "Hurry and give the Spirit Breaking Pill back to him, don't trick people anymore." Su Dan Novel Network
"How can this be? One is willing to be beaten, and the other is willing to beat. Since this kid wants to trade with me, I naturally have to fulfill his wish," the white-haired old man said. "This is a normal transaction, young lady, don't meddle in other people's business. Old man, although I'm old and frail, I'm not someone to be trifled with."
Bai Xue frowned slightly. She couldn't stand such unfair matters.
"If you don't hand over the pill, I'll have to take action," Bai Xue said coldly, her voice filled with a sense of justice.
