Chapter 268: Chapter 268: Exposing the Scam_1

Ning Fan’s words fell, and all eyes were focused on him.

Master Ge’s heart fluttered with panic, and his face flushed red as he said, "You insolent boy! What do you know? This Jade Cauldron is a Magic Artifact; how could you possibly understand its mysteries?"

"I know now, you’re here to cause trouble, wanting to monopolize the Jade Cauldron for yourself!"

"I tell you, your treacherous schemes will not succeed today!"

Seeing his opportunity, Zuo Tao quickly stood up, pointing at Ning Fan, and sternly rebuked him, "That’s right! This scoundrel surnamed Ning is a fraud, just now, outside, he even dared to impersonate, claiming that he himself was the inventor of Spirit Qi Water!"

"What? There are such people?"

"Shameless! Even daring to impersonate the inventor of Spirit Qi Water?"

"Truly ignorant of the heavens and the earth, daring to spout nonsense in front of Master Ge!"

The crowd turned their accusatory gaze towards Ning Fan, considering him nothing more than a charlatan vying for attention.

Facing the reprimands of the people, Ning Fan’s expression remained calm as he walked out from his seat and came to the front.

"I can prove that this Jade Cauldron is utterly incapable of producing Spirit Qi Water."

As he spoke, Ning Fan snatched the Jade Cauldron from Master Ge’s hands.

Master Ge’s expression tensed up instantly, "What are you doing? Are you trying to forcefully seize the Jade Cauldron?"

The spectators also watched Ning Fan with wary eyes, fearing he might bolt with the Jade Cauldron.

However, Ning Fan placed the Jade Cauldron on the table and said to a nearby beautiful waitress, "Excuse me, please bring me a bottle of mineral water identical to the one earlier."

The beautiful waitress handed over the mineral water, and Ning Fan unscrewed it, pouring the water into the Jade Cauldron.

He then, just as Master Ge had done earlier, divided the water among everyone present, saying, "The entire process was identical to just now with Master Ge, everyone please try it for yourselves to see if the water has the same effect as before."

The spectators drank with skepticism, smacking their lips a couple of times, all showing a look of doubt.

"Strange, why doesn’t the water have the same effect as before? It’s just like ordinary mineral water."

"What’s going on? Why is there no magical effect anymore? Could it really be like this young man said and the Jade Cauldron is fake?"

"Master Ge, don’t you think you owe us an explanation?"

Faced with everyone’s questioning, Master Ge was sweating profusely. He wiped his face hard and argued with forced calmness, "Young man, do you think Spirit Qi Water is so easily concocted?"

"Just now, when I stroked the ears of the Jade Cauldron, I was harnessing my powers, refining it with my own Spiritual Power, and only then did the ordinary mineral water transform into Spirit Qi Water!"

Having heard his explanation, Ning Fan nodded indifferently, and brought over another bottle of mineral water. Pouring it into the Jade Cauldron, he said, "Come on then, exert your power, let everyone see how you refine this water into Spirit Qi Water."

Master Ge swallowed hard, taking the Jade Cauldron from Ning Fan’s hands.

He placed his hands on the ears of the Jade Cauldron, his eyes half-closed, and began to murmur an incantation.

In the blind spot of the crowd’s vision, his right hand’s fingers discreetly rubbed together, and a small paper packet slid from his sleeve into his palm.

Master Ge gently opened the paper packet, using his fingernail to pick out a bit of powder and sprinkled it into the water...

’Humph, with this True Elemental Elixir in hand, am I afraid I won’t be able to concoct Spirit Qi Water?’ he thought.

He pretended to apply his power for a while, then opened his eyes, proudly announcing, "Okay, now the Spirit Qi Water has been concocted!"

"Here, take it and distribute it to them. This time, after my exertion of power, it will definitely be effective!"

Master Ge handed the Jade Cauldron to Ning Fan, exuding self-satisfaction.

Ning Fan, receiving the Jade Cauldron, curled his lips into a cold smirk, his gaze quickly sweeping over Master Ge’s sleeve.

"What, what are you looking at?" Master Ge retracted his hand subconsciously, his demeanor slightly nervous.

Without a word, Ning Fan pressed down on the surface of the Jade Cauldron, his Spiritual Power surging from within him, flowing through his palm into the Cauldron, merging with the water.

Under his command, the Spiritual Power instantly refined and nullified the potency of the True Elemental Elixir in the water.

Afterward, Ning Fan, holding the Jade Cauldron, went down to the audience and once again distributed the water from the Cauldron to everyone.

Having tasted it, the looks of doubt on the faces of the people grew even heavier.

"It’s no different than before?"

"This is still just mineral water!"

"What’s happening? Didn’t Master Ge already exert his power? Why is it still useless?"

Seeing this, Master Ge himself became puzzled.

"Impossible, I have already exerted my power to concoct, it must be Spirit Qi Water!"

He stepped off the stage, picked up a glass, and poured himself some water from the Jade Cauldron to drink.

The next second, his eyebrows knitted together, and he said somewhat frantically, "How can this be... I’ve already exerted my power!"

"I told you, this Jade Cauldron is a counterfeit, and you are a fraud!" Ning Fan said with a cold laugh.

The onlookers glared daggers at him, their expressions unfriendly.

Master Ge, his mind already in turmoil, blurted out, "No way! I, I clearly added the substance just now, the water should have effects!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than he realized he had slipped up.

The people around him, having heard his admission, also darkened their faces.

"Damn it, you actually did add something to it, impersonating Spirit Qi Water?"

"So, this Jade Cauldron is undoubtedly a fake?"

"Damn it, I was nearly tricked out of eleven billion by you!"
