"Small success of Bone Forging, one hundred and fifty thousand jins of strength."
Feeling the sudden increase in his physical strength, Ye Chenfeng's pale face revealed a satisfied smile.
Although the Six Meridian Divine Shield required more and more energy to cultivate, and the difficulty of cultivating it increased, the effect was very obvious.
Ye Chenfeng had only cultivated to the small success stage of Bone Forging, but his physical strength had increased by fifty thousand jins. If he cultivated to the great circle of Bone Forging, Ye Chenfeng felt that his physical strength would reach fifty thousand jins.
With just his physical strength, he would be able to kill a sixth rank Heavenly Beast Immortal expert.
More importantly, his physical body's recovery ability had greatly increased. Ordinary physical injuries could be healed in an instant.
"I must obtain the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance's two Devil Crystal Bones. With them, I might be able to cultivate to eighty or ninety percent of the Bone Forging realm," muttered Ye Chenfeng. He was determined to obtain the two Devil Crystal Bones stored in the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance's treasury.
After cultivating to the small success stage of Bone Forging, Ye Chenfeng placed the Sword Puppet into his Cosmos Bag. Then he plundered the White Devil General and the others' belongings. Sitting cross-legged on the ship that reeked of blood, Ye Chenfeng began to heal his soul and physical injuries.
At this time, under Mo Yuyan's orders, the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance's ship quickly approached. But when they saw Ye Chenfeng recuperating on the blood-soaked deck, not a single one of them dared to disturb him. They patiently waited.
"A third rank Heavenly Beast Immortal. Young master Ye refined such a large Devil Crystal Bone and only managed to break through one rank?"
Sensing Ye Chenfeng's cultivation, Mo Yuyan was deeply puzzled. With her understanding of Devil Crystal Bones, an egg-sized Devil Crystal Bone was enough to allow a Heavenly Beast Immortal expert to break through two or three ranks.
"I think it's because Ye Chenfeng's physique is rather special. Every time he breaks through, he squeezes his body's potential to the limit. The advantage of this is that his cultivation foundation is unbreakable, but the amount of energy required is several times that of an ordinary person. That's why such a large Magic Crystal Bone only allowed him to break through by one level." The knowledgeable Elder Mei analyzed.
Hearing Elder Mei's words, looking at the corpses scattered on the deck, as well as Ye Chenfeng who was covered in blood like a demon from hell, Protector Yao, who had a grudge against him, was so scared that his face turned pale. His legs cramped, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
His heart was filled with regret. He was afraid that Ye Chenfeng would settle the score with him and cause trouble for him.
While Elder Mei and Mo Yuyan were talking, Ye Chenfeng used his powerful recovery abilities to recover from his injuries and woke up.
"I wonder, with my current strength, can I defeat an ordinary Level 6 Heavenly Beast Immortal without using the Life Spirit Technique?" Ye Chenfeng opened his tightly shut eyes and muttered to himself. He couldn't wait to test his strength.
However, he knew that now wasn't the time to test his strength. He had more important things to do, and that was to negotiate with Mo Yuyan and return to the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance to get the two Magic Crystal Bones.
"Young Master Ye, we will never forget the kindness you have shown us. Please accept our bow."
When Ye Chenfeng returned to the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance's ship, Mo Yuyan and Elder Mei were grateful from the bottom of their hearts and bowed deeply to him.
"Miss Mo, Elder Mei, you don't have to be so polite. I've received my reward, so I naturally have to do things for you." Ye Chenfeng smiled faintly and asked, "Now, can we talk about our cooperation?"
"Of course. We now fully believe that Young Master Ye has the ability to help us take back the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance." Elder Mei nodded and said.
"Young Master Ye, Elder Mei, let's go to the central cabin to talk." Mo Yuyan smiled and suggested.
"Alright!"
Ye Chenfeng nodded and followed Mo Yuyan and Elder Mei to the central cabin.
"Young Master Ye, I know that you won't help us take back the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance for free. Other than the two Magic Crystal Bones, what else do you want? As long as our Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance has it, we will definitely give it to you." Mo Yuyan, who was wearing an emerald green dress and had a tall figure, asked generously as she ordered someone to pour a cup of tea for Ye Chenfeng.
"Miss Mo, I need high-grade soul crystals. I wonder if your Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance has any?" Ye Chenfeng asked.
Mo Yuyan shook her head and said, "Young Master Ye, high-grade soul crystals are too rare and precious. Our Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance doesn't have any. What about other things?"
"Then can you tell me where the Magic Crystal Bones came from?" Ye Chenfeng pondered for a moment and asked.
"This …"
The origin of the Magic Crystal Bones involved the secret of the Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance. Hearing Ye Chenfeng's question, Mo Yuyan and Elder Mei looked at each other and hesitated.
"What's wrong? Is it not convenient to tell me where the Magic Crystal Bones came from?" Seeing Mo Yuyan's troubled appearance, Ye Chenfeng frowned slightly. He vaguely guessed that the Magic Crystal Bones were very likely related to the mysterious key.
"To be honest, the Magic Crystal Bones are the greatest secret of our Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance. However, Young Master Ye is our savior, so we are willing to share this secret with Young Master Ye." Mo Yuyan bit her moist lips and raised her head slightly to look straight into Ye Chenfeng's eyes.
"Don't worry, I won't speak carelessly about your Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance's secret." Ye Chenfeng nodded and promised.
"The Magic Crystal Bones were obtained by an ancestor of our Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance from the outskirts of the underwater cave." Mo Yuyan gave a simple explanation of the Magic Crystal Bones' origins to Ye Chenfeng.
"Opening the underwater cave requires three keys. These three keys are held by our Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance, as well as the other two merchant alliances of Three Star Island, the Celestial Star Merchant Alliance and the Solitary Cloud Merchant Alliance.
"The ancestors of our three clans agreed that every hundred years, the three clans would work together to open the underwater cave and enter together to search for treasures. Due to the restrictions of the underwater cave, our three clans could only send a maximum of thirty experts into the cave each time.
"However, due to our limited strength, in the past thousand years, our three merchant alliances have never been able to break through the restrictions of the cave. We don't know what is inside the cave."
"Underwater cave!"
Ye Chenfeng raised his eyebrows. He didn't think that the key in Mo Yuyan's hands would be related to a mysterious underwater cave. He was deeply interested in this underwater cave.
"Young Miss Mo, how much time is left until the hundred year agreement?"
"Thirty-three years."
"Thirty-three years? That long?" Ye Chenfeng frowned slightly. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Then can't we enter the underwater cave in advance?"
"According to my father, the opening time of the underwater cave is only an agreement between our three merchant alliances. It has nothing to do with the cave itself. However, if we want to open the underwater cave, we must gather all three keys. Not a single one can be missing."
"Therefore, if Young Master Ye wants to enter the underwater cave, you must obtain the keys of the other two merchant alliances!" Mo Yuyan cleverly said.
"I wonder how the other two merchant alliances are doing."
Ye Chenfeng understood the meaning behind Mo Yuyan's words. She wanted to use him to deal a heavy blow to the other two merchant alliances. However, Ye Chenfeng was truly interested in the underwater cave.
"The Celestial Star Merchant Alliance is the strongest. Apart from a Level 4 Profound Beast Sect Elder overseeing it, there are also three Profound Beast Sect experts."
"The Solitary Cloud Merchant Alliance also has four Profound Beast Sect experts. The surviving Grand Elder is a Level 3 Profound Beast Sect Elder."
"As for our Ancient Ink Merchant Alliance, our overall strength is the weakest. Apart from a Level 2 Profound Beast Sect Elder, only Mo Feng Gu, who murdered my parents, has broken through to Level 1 Profound Beast Sect Elder." Mo Yuyan explained the strength of the three merchant alliances in detail to Ye Chenfeng.
"Leave the matter of the two merchant alliances' keys to me. Let us return now." Ye Chenfeng nodded and said.
