Chapter 1696
At this time, Meirou was also blinking at Wu Fan, and one could clearly see the triumphant look on his face, which was indescribably charming. Obviously, this woman had known about this for a long time and had deliberately tried to hide it. Of course, it is also possible that this woman requested that this task be given to Wu Fan.
"What, purple black stone veins, is this senior's statement true?"
As expected, Wu Fan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, he rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.
No wonder he was so happy, because the purple iron was one of the last two things after refining the puppet, the same material that Yin Wanliang had lied to him about before.
He really didn't expect that this material would be found in this way. To be honest, he didn't have any hope before, otherwise he wouldn't have decided to return to Zhongdu. After all, he didn't want to participate in the exchange meeting.
"Haha, of course it's true. How about it, little friend, are you willing to go?"
The old man nodded with a smile, a look of affirmation on his face.
"Junior is willing to go, thank you senior for your help!"
Without even thinking about it, Wu Fan hurriedly stood up and bowed to the old man.
What a joke, even if it was a dragon's pond or a tiger's den, he still had to go there. Moreover, although the Southern Territory was strange and strange, he was not an ordinary person either. In the face of absolute strength, all obstacles were nothing.
"Hehe, don't be too happy, little friend Wu. If you want to get this opportunity, you may have to give something in exchange. Old man, I'm a businessman, so naturally I won't help you in vain!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Fan finished speaking, the old man smiled strangely, and the expression on his face was treacherous.
Wu Fan couldn't help but be stunned by this scene. He stared blankly at the old man who didn't know what to say and just stood there in such embarrassment.
If he remembered correctly, the other party just asked him to find elixir for the Chamber of Commerce. This was the price for him to do the task, so why should he be paid for it.
This really puzzled him.
So he turned to look at Meirou.
It turned out that the woman was looking up at the sky and had no intention of participating in the matter.
Such a scene made him even more stunned. After all, this woman's heart had always been on his side. Under normal circumstances, this woman would have been in trouble with the master a long time ago.
It seems that there is some reason for this!
"This...! I wonder what this junior can give in exchange for this mission?"
Wu Fan looked at Meirou for a moment, then turned to look at the old man and asked with a smile, pretending not to know.
But after he said this, he smiled bitterly in his heart. He felt awkward. How could anyone in the world get paid for doing tasks for others? This was the most ridiculous thing in the world.
"Haha, I won't ask you for anything valuable. Just a few jars of spiritual wine and spiritual tea that my little friend gave me a few years ago. There isn't much left now. I don't know...!"
The old man didn't talk nonsense. After hearing this, he suddenly sat up straight and stared at Wu Fan with a bright smile. However, he could clearly see the expectation and uneasiness on the old man's face.
Obviously, he was afraid that Wu Fan would not agree to give these two things, or that he would not have them anymore.
Because the old man has identified it before, whether it is spiritual tea or spiritual wine, it is not an ordinary thing. Not to mention that the spiritual wine is brewed with rare spiritual fruit and elixir, and the secret brewing recipe is also very weird. He cannot analyze much at all. Element.
As for the age of Lingcha, it is also shockingly high. It is hard to believe how old the tea trees are to produce such good tea.
You know, even though his Tianya Island is known as the Land of Ten Thousand Treasures, there are no such tea trees. It is impossible to say that he is not moved.
And in the past few years, he was really reluctant to enjoy it, and even had to guard against Meirou girl at all times, otherwise he would have finished drinking it long ago.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Meirou hurriedly lowered her head and looked up with the same expectant look on her face.
But this scene made Wu Fan stay there, and it wasn't until a long time later that he gave a strange wry smile and felt relieved at the same time.
Only then did he fully understand that this old man had been trying to get him to drink and drink tea. No wonder he had to call him here in a roundabout way. After all, Meirou could convey it to him with full authority for a mere task. There was no need to come. Within this forbidden area.
Wu Fan also looked strange for a moment, looked at the two of them for a few times before smiling:
"It turns out that senior wants my spiritual wine and spiritual tea. Well... to be honest, junior doesn't have much on me. You also know that what I gave you last time was of the highest quality. You can't just give it casually." Found it in the outside world, but... since senior likes it. , even if I don’t keep it for myself, I still have to give some to my seniors. After all, my seniors have been so kind to me. It would be unkind if I kept it to myself. Well, I still have ten jars of spiritual wine. There are eight cans of tea left, so let’s share some with you!”
In the early stage of Wu Fan's speech, the old man looked obviously disappointed, but when he said "but", the old man's eyes lit up again and he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
When Wu Fan finished speaking, the old man looked satisfied and couldn't help but take a deep look at Wu Fan with relief.
At this time, Meirou also raised her proud head and glanced sideways at the old man, as if to say, you see, Brother Wu, I am a good person!
But in the next scene, both of them's eyes lit up at the same time, and everyone could see the uncontrollable joy.
Because Wu Fan waved his arm, after the glow flashed, eight more wine jars and six cans of tea appeared on the ground and were placed neatly on the ground.
This scene couldn't help but make the old man look at Wu Fan twice more, and the admiration in his eyes became stronger.
He didn't expect that this kid would take out most of his possessions. In his opinion, it would be good if the other party could give him half. After all, no one would be willing to give away such a good thing.
"Haha, I was right about you, you know how to repay kindness, you are really a person worth making friends with!"
The old man suddenly stroked his beard and laughed, and then he put away more than a dozen jars and cans without hesitation.
It's no wonder that he was so anxious, because he saw Meirou's greedy face, and he was really afraid that this girl would snatch it away.
As expected, looking at the empty ground, Meirou was stunned for a moment, and then glared at the old man fiercely, with a face full of complaints and regrets, regretting that she was slow to act just now.
But the old man pretended not to see it, and didn't even look at the girl.
"Haha, thank you for the praise, senior, I am ashamed to accept it. I just don't know, can I go to the task now?"
Wu Fan smiled and arched his hands, and asked with a raised eyebrow.
During the conversation, he had a smile on his face, especially after seeing the expressions of the two people, he found it even more funny.
To be honest, he didn't care about this spiritual wine and tea at all, because he had as much as he wanted. As for what he said, it was to make the other party feel his kindness and dispel the suspicion in the old man's heart. After all, such things are very rare in the outside world, and he didn't want the old man to be greedy.
However, he kept a trick and deliberately said that "at present" there are still these, instead of only these, in order to make the other party think that he can still take them out in the future.
Because Wu Fan was not sure whether he would ask the old man for help in the future, so it was necessary to keep a trump card for himself. As long as the other party was obsessed with his spiritual wine and tea, it would be easier for him to ask this person to do things in the future.
