Chapter 549 Special Temptation
Chapter 549 Special Temptation
Lin Fan smiled and waited for more reactions from the old senior, his heart filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Lin Fan's expression kept changing, and he was obviously a little confused by the old immortal's words.
"Master, what you said is not in line with the style of an 'old immortal'." He tried to ease the atmosphere.
"Never mind that. Zoom in quickly. I want to take a good look."
Lin Fan followed the instructions, allowing the old immortal to observe more carefully.
"It does look like the divine jade tripod, but it's hard to tell whether it's real or fake." The old immortal said thoughtfully after a few minutes.
"There are fake ones?" Lin Fan was surprised.
"Anything of value can have a counterfeit, let alone such a precious treasure."
The old immortal explained: "Tell me how you got it."
Lin Fan then recounted his experiences in the antique market in detail, including the mummies, the legendary Aks hide, and other discoveries.
"You have reaped a great harvest this time." The old immortal also seemed quite surprised.
“Haha, it’s really good.”
Lin Fan chuckled, "Any one of them makes me feel this trip is worthwhile."
The old immortal then asked, "Have you tried to recognize the master of the Divine Jade Cauldron by dripping blood on it?"
"No, for a divine artifact of this level, ordinary methods of recognizing its owner probably won't work. By the way, I've already given the Fuxi Qin away."
"What? Who did you give it to?" The old immortal obviously didn't expect him to do this.
"Zhao Ziqing seems to have a special connection with the Fuxi Qin, so I gave it to her." Lin Fan said briefly.
The old immortal pondered, "It's fate. Perhaps all this is God's will. The artifacts have a subtle connection with you. Perhaps they are destined to belong to your fiancées."
Lin Fan frowned and asked, "What exactly do you mean?"
"Perhaps it's like this: Although the Ten Sacred Treasures have encountered you, they don't recognize you as their master. This may be to allow you to find them and eventually gift them to your fiancées."
"So my efforts are ultimately for the purpose of giving them gifts?" Lin Fan was a little amused.
The old immortal smiled and said, "Perhaps this is fate. You see, the number of artifacts just matches the number of your fiancées."
Lin Fan felt a mixture of emotions when he thought about this. He was particularly troubled when he considered whether some artifacts, such as the Pangu Axe, were suitable for women to use.
"Has Fuxi Qin already recognized the daughter of the Zhao family as its master?" the old immortal continued to ask.
"It hasn't completely recognized the master yet, but it has made good progress." Lin Fan replied.
Lin Fan exhaled a puff of smoke, his eyes a little confused.
"Master, if that piece of multicolored stone is really the treasure that Nuwa used to mend the sky, and it is related to my life experience, does it mean that it and I are destined to be together? Does such a treasure have to be given away?" he asked softly.
The old man pondered for a moment. "Who can say for sure? Have you made any progress regarding your background?"
"Not yet, but I think it will be soon."
"Okay. Let's talk about the Divine Jade Cauldron first. Now that the cauldron is not in front of us, it's really hard to judge whether it is real or not. Do you think it is real?"
"I believe so."
“If it really is the Divine Jade Cauldron, then you are really lucky.” The old man sighed.
"Even if I get it, I may still have to give it to someone else in the end, which makes me feel helpless."
Lin Fan smiled bitterly and said, "I've already found two fiancées. If I really gave the Divine Jade Cauldron to the second one, wouldn't that be too strange?"
"You can't just give treasures away whenever you want. It depends on whether the other person has this destiny."
"I understand."
The old man continued, "As for the beast skins in the Axe legend, I've only heard of them and haven't personally investigated them. As for the heavens they mentioned, we can't jump to conclusions."
"Then what is the energy contained in the mummy?"
"You're not going to do anything bad to her, are you?"
"How is that possible? What can I do?" Lin Fan seemed speechless.
"I mean, you're not going to absorb the energy in her body, are you? Wait until I see it with my own eyes."
"Okay, I'll take her back to Buzhou Mountain."
"Don't worry, I plan to go down the mountain soon. The time has come, it's time to show up."
Lin Fan was startled. "Are you going down the mountain? Didn't you say you wanted to spend the rest of your life on Mount Buzhou?"
"That was just a casual remark, did you take it seriously?" the old man said in surprise.
Lin Fan sighed inwardly, this old man is really hard to understand.
"By the way, let me ask you, is that mummy beautiful?"
"Well, it's beautiful, but why do you ask?"
"Oh, even if you're pretty, you have to control yourself, young man. Don't do anything inappropriate."
"What are you thinking? I have nine fiancées. What can I think of an ancient corpse?"
"Men are sometimes irrational. No matter how many beautiful wives they have at home, they still can't resist the temptations outside."
"You are a man too, don't forget that."
"I've lived for so many years that I've stopped thinking about those things."
The old man ended the topic with a smile: "Okay, do you have any other questions? If not, I'll be leaving first. I have an appointment with Widow Zhang down the mountain for tea today."
Lin Fan frowned and paused for a moment before asking, "Didn't you say you didn't care about that little thing anymore? Why did you go looking for Widow Zhang?"
"They're playing mahjong. There are other people there too. Stop guessing! Okay, I have to get up."
The old immortal finished speaking hurriedly and hung up the phone without waiting for Lin Fan's response.
"Playing mahjong with her? That's unbelievable."
Lin Fan muttered, and the figure of Widow Zhang appeared in his mind.
Although she is in her forties, she still maintains a good figure and fully fits the description of a "middle-aged woman".
To Lin Fan, she might be a little too old; but to some older people, this age is just right.
Putting down his phone, Lin Fan looked around and first put away the female mummy he had been fiddling with.
"Luckily, I had already come down the mountain. When I first came down, everything seemed so new to me that I almost lost control of myself."
He recalled with a smile. Then, his eyes fell on a bronze tripod. Although he was not 100% sure of its authenticity, his intuition told him that it was most likely real.
"The Divine Jade Cauldron is related to the Ten Divine Artifacts. Could it be that I am also not destined to be with it?"
Lin Fan tried to use his spiritual sense to sense the bronze tripod, trying to establish a connection with it.
"Little God? Little Farmer? Little Ding? Come out and chat. I'm very familiar with the Jade Emperor..."
However, no matter how he tried, the bronze tripod showed no reaction, and he finally had to give up.
After packing everything up, Lin Fan took a photo of the dragon head and sent it to Gu Lao.
Soon, Gu Lao called back, with a hint of surprise in his voice: "How did you get the dragon head from the Antiques?"
"You also know the antique number?" Lin Fan was a little surprised.
