Seeing Moran's hand gesture, Juana frowned and started to ponder with her head lowered. After a while, Juana finally steeled her heart and nodded at Moran. "No problem. I'll get someone to prepare."
She stood up and pressed a button on the wall near the door. A moment later, a maid came in.
Seeing that she seemed to have made some important decision, he thought of something and said to her with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't take your things for nothing."
He no longer hid it and explained, "Sir, don't misunderstand, it's not that Qiu Na is reluctant to part with it, it's just that black iron is very rare. Our Chamber of Commerce has gone through many ways to get less than ten pieces, and the reason why Qiu Na is doing this is also for the sake of the company. After all, the company is not the only one that Qiu Na has."
After hearing her explanation, he knew that she had misunderstood him. He said indifferently, "I didn't come here to take it for free. I don't have any money on me, so I have another reason to find you for today."
At this point, Mo Ran paused for a moment. He moved closer to Juana and said in a low voice, "I want to sell something."
"Right." Nodding his head, Mo Ran placed his right hand on the Sky Spirit Ring on his left hand. With a gentle brush, a scarlet red fruit appeared in his hand. Just as he took it out, the room was filled with a faint fragrance.
In fact, Mo Ran had decided to sell a Scarlet Fruit ever since he came in. His guess was that the Energy Recovery Pill wouldn't be able to sell for much, and he didn't dare take out the Illusory Yuan Qing Saliva. With such a large amount of fragrance, once it was taken out, the fragrance and spiritual energy would be emitted. There was only the Scarlet Fruit. Although it could also release fragrance, it was much worse than the Illusory Yuan Qing's saliva.
So the Scarlet Fruit was the best choice.
When she saw Moran take out the Scarlet Fruit, the room was filled with fragrance. She couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice. With her experience, she was sure that the red fruit was no ordinary fruit.
Smelling the fragrance of the fruit in the air, Juana was momentarily stunned. All the memory cells in her brain immediately began to move, searching for information on this fruit. Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of a fruit like this that she had seen before.
With a grave expression, she said to Mo Ran, "Sir, this thing doesn't seem to be any ordinary item. With Qiu Na's experience, she has no way of verifying its value, but there is currently a person that can identify spiritual items that is a guest in our Chamber of Commerce. If Sir doesn't mind, I can bring him here to help you verify it."
Moran frowned slightly. It was obvious that he didn't want others to know that he had such a thing.
Seeing the hesitation on Moran's face, how could Juana not know what he was thinking? She continued, "Sir, please be at ease. Juana can guarantee that this person is absolutely reliable."
She stared at Moran, waiting for an answer.
"Fine." After thinking about it carefully, Moran nodded at Juana.
"Sir, please wait a moment." After obtaining Moran's trust, Qiu Na got up and walked out.
After seeing Juana go out, Mo Ran took the Scarlet Fruit back into the Void Spirit Ring and closed his eyes to rest.
Not long after, when the door opened again, Juana and an old man in a dark blue robe walked in, one after the other. The old man was about seventy years old, and he looked similar to Elder Fang. His face was covered with wrinkles, and a strand of silvery-white beard hung down on his chest, giving off a transcendent feeling.
After entering the room, the old man did not sit down. He only looked at Mo Ran blandly and did not notice anything strange. The old man could only vaguely smell the fragrance of the Scarlet Fruit remaining in the room.
Closing his eyes, he greedily inhaled twice, as if enjoying the feeling this smell brought him. The old man asked Juana, "It's him?"
"Right." Juana nodded slightly at the old man's question.
Then, Qiu Na pointed at the old man and introduced him to Mo Ran, "This is Liu Changfeng. You can call him Elder Liu or Great Master Liu."
At that moment, Mo Ran had already opened his eyes. He stood up and nodded to Liu Changfeng with a smile, "Hello, Liu Changfeng."
Although Liu Changfeng could not see Mo Ran's appearance, from the sound of his voice, he could tell that Mo Ran was not very old and the way he looked at Mo Ran slowly changed. Just now, when Qiu Na found him, she told him that someone brought out a very extraordinary spirit fruit that they needed his help to identify.
Seeing that Mo Ran politely greeted him, Elder Liu did not put on airs. He used his seniority to show off and also nodded amiably at Mo Ran: "Hello, little sir."
Seeing that the two of them had no intention of talking, she smiled and said, "The two of you aren't familiar with each other yet. Let me introduce you in detail." Then he looked at Mo Ran and said to Elder Liu, "This mister is the savior that saved Ma Rong and I from the hands of the bandit group a few days ago. He... I don't know what to call him yet. " She looked at Moran inquiringly.
"Call me Liu Ran." Mo Ran casually said.
Giving a grateful smile to Mo Ran, Qiu Na continued to introduce him, "Old Liu is one of the Elders in Violet Cloud City's Alchemy Hall, a level three alchemist. At the same time, Old Liu has a special hobby towards things like spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs.
Hearing Qiu Na's words, Mo Ran was slightly shocked. A Tier 3 pill refiner had quite a high status in the Martial Courage Continent. He did not expect to meet such people. Only now did he begin to carefully size up this extraordinary elder.
"Hehe, little girl Qiu, stop joking with this old man. Don't you know my level? I'm just an idle person who likes flowers and plants. " Liu Changfeng said humbly while stroking his beard. However, he had a clear smug look on his face.
After the simple introduction, Juana immediately went back to the main topic. She sternly said to Mo Ran, "Mister, please take out the fruit for Elder Liu to see."
Mo Ran nodded and didn't say anything. He lightly touched the ring with his palm and the red fruit appeared in his hand again. Mo Ran held out his hand as he held the fruit, and at the same time, he slowly opened his palm. As Mo Ran opened his palm, the fragrance spilled out and filled the entire room.
"Cinnabar Fruit!"
"Cinnabar Fruit!" As Mo Ran slowly opened his palm, the aroma of the Scarlet Fruit immediately spread out without any warning. Liu Changfeng finally saw the item in Mo Ran's hand and with a "Teng" sound, his gaze came in contact with the Scarlet Fruit. Liu Changfeng could not help but jump up from his chair and exclaim loudly at the same time.
Seeing Liu Changfeng's abnormal action, Qiu Na was also shocked. At the same time, she confirmed her thoughts, and her gaze towards Mo Ran underwent a drastic change. An item that could even shock a Tier 3 Pill Refiner like Elder Liu was definitely not an ordinary item.
Who exactly was this Liu Ran? His voice sounded young and he might not even be twenty years old, but he had the strength to defeat Ma Rong. He was at least at the Xiantian realm. Not only that, what he took out was extraordinary. Even Old Liu was stunned by it. Juana thought for a moment in a flash, then decided that she had to get on good terms with this man, and that there must be a great background behind him.
Just as Qiu Na was trying to figure out how to establish a good relationship with Mo Ran, Elder Liu recovered from his shock and slowly sat back down on his chair. However, it was obvious that the shock from earlier had not completely disappeared from his heart.
However, Mo Ran slowly withdrew the Scarlet Fruit. He said with the same calm tone, "Old Liu, you truly live up to your name. With just a glance, you know what this is. Kid, I admire it."
Liu Changfeng, who was sitting back on the chair, gently stroked his chest with his hand, trying his best to recover his composure. He calmed himself and said, "If I'm not wrong, this is the Spirit Recovery Fruit 'Scarlet Fruit' that is known as the Spirit of Returning Energy."
After hearing this name, Mo Ran was also stunned. When the mysterious man told him this name, it was very simple. He only told him that it was called "Scarlet Fruit". If just the name was so nice, then this Scarlet Fruit was just as he had thought: It was not simple at all.
"Then does Elder Liu know of his abilities?" Although he thought Elder Liu would know, Mo Ran still wanted to test him.
Hearing Mo Ran's question, Elder Liu stroked his long beard and smiled: "Scarlet Fruit, you grew up in a place filled with spirit energy by yourself, and obtained the good fortune of the heaven and earth. This Scarlet Fruit is round and smooth, and is vermillion red in color. Even if it is a Martial Saint, as long as they are not exhausted of all their inner Qi, they would be able to recover half of it in a short period of time.
As he heard Liu Changfeng's words without any pause, Mo Ran sighed at the profoundness of this old man's knowledge. Moreover, Mo Ran only found out at this moment that the effects of the Scarlet Fruit were limited. Only experts below the Martial Master level could use it.
"I heard that little friend is going to auction this fruit?" At this moment, while Mo Ran was still thinking, Elder Liu's voice sounded again.
Mo Ran nodded, "Yes, I really need a palm-sized piece of black iron right now. Unfortunately, I don't have much gold with me, so I can only bear with the pain and sell it." He vaguely felt that Liu Changfeng had more to say, so he spoke pitifully.
Liu Changfeng lowered his head and thought for a while. Suddenly, he raised his head and smiled to Mo Ran, "You can buy a lot of black iron with this item. How about this, this old man is very interested in this thing, I wonder if little friend can give it to me? "
"Since you've really come, I know that you have some hidden meaning. You must pay a price for your decision to target me, Zhu Guo." "Hehe ~" Liu Changfeng's words confirmed Mo Ran's guess. He really wanted to buy this Scarlet Fruit. It didn't matter to Mo Ran as he still had a lot of his own. Thus, a simple plan slowly took shape in Moran's mind.
With this thought in mind, Mo Ran's tone still contained a little reluctance to part with the Scarlet Fruit as he sighed: "Actually, I just want to use this Scarlet Fruit to exchange for some money to buy what I need. If Elder Liu really likes it, it's not impossible, it's just that …"
"Don't worry, little friend. This old man will never do anything to bully others. We need to be even more careful with this kind of transaction. If little friend needs anything, feel free to mention it." Hearing Mo Ran's words, Liu Changfeng immediately felt that this was a good thing. He immediately patted his chest and made a promise.
Hearing Liu Changfeng's words, Mo Ran snickered, but he still hesitated and said, "Oh, that kid wants the black iron. There's no need for too much. I just said, it's only the size of a palm."
"No problem." Liu Changfeng answered loudly.
After saying that, Mo Ran didn't say anything. He held his chin and lowered his head as if he was thinking about something.
"Little girl Qiu, get someone to prepare that piece of black iron. I will pay for it." "Little friend, how is it?" Afraid that Mo Ran would go back on his word, Liu Changfeng immediately instructed Qiu Na to prepare the things.
