"As for the third task, it's even more difficult." Qing Chenzi gestured for Ye Fan to sit down as he spoke.
"What's the third task?" Ye Fan sat down beside Qing Chenzi.
"Study the secret technique hidden in the patterns of the nine cauldrons." Qing Chenzi poured water into Ye Fan's bamboo cup as he spoke.
Ye Fan listened in silence.
"After breaking the enchantment of the nine cauldrons, you can obtain the patterns on the nine cauldrons," Qing Chenzi said. "However, each of the nine cauldrons weighs over a hundred thousand kilograms, and the patterns engraved on the cauldrons are extremely complex. Not only does it require a great deal of patience, but it also requires an extremely high level of intelligence. As far as I know, the process of studying the patterns of the nine cauldrons is fraught with danger. If you're not careful, you'll be mesmerized by the illusion formation set up by the patterns. If you're not careful, you'll suffer from Qi Deviation and lose your mind.
After hearing this, Ye Fan's brows furrowed into a knot. Each of the three tasks Qing Chenzi mentioned was as difficult as ascending to the heavens. There wasn't even a one in a million chance of succeeding.
"What's wrong? Are you scared? "Qing Chenzi looked at Ye Fan's solemn expression and asked.
"Senior, I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid … that I won't be able to do it," Ye Fan said in a low voice.
"Let me ask you, do you want to save your wife?" Qing Chenzi asked Ye Fan.
"Yes." Ye Fan raised his head and answered firmly.
"Do you want that Baihu to return to her human form?" Qing Chenzi asked again.
"Yes." Ye Fan answered again.
"That's it." Qing Chenzi smiled. "You have to know that there's still a day when the Yellow River will clear up. As the saying goes, man proposes, but God disposes. If you don't do it, how will you know if you can succeed? "
"But Senior, you just said that Chiko and I are destined to be together in this lifetime. Even if we survive this tribulation, there will be an even greater tribulation waiting for us. I'm afraid … "Ye Fan's meaning was obvious. He was afraid that after he saved his beloved wife, it wouldn't be long before the two of them had to part again.
"That's why I gave you this path," Qing Chenzi said to Ye Fan. "That's right, the two of you are together because of an ill-fated relationship in your previous life. If you were to be together, there would definitely be many disasters and unspeakable suffering. However, the Heavens are benevolent. Although it's difficult for you to progress now, it's also a blessing in disguise."
"Fortune and misfortune together?" Ye Fan didn't understand what Qing Chenzi meant. Now, he only had misfortune, not fortune.
"Misfortune leads to fortune, and fortune leads to misfortune." Qing Chenzi smiled. "Matsumoto Takeyoshi coveting the Nine Cauldrons is a misfortune, but for you, it is a great fortune."
"A great fortune?" Ye Fan became more and more confused.
"Do you still remember the bell that I asked Ming Yue to give you?" Qing Chenzi smiled and asked Ye Fan.
"I remember, of course I remember." Ye Fan replied.
This bell had always been a question in his heart. His own white bell, Cui Ziwen's black bell, Xiao Zhao's green bell, Qing Chenzi's golden bell, and Ye Ming's red bell that he learned from Daitengu. What were these bells for? Why did Qing Chenzi give him the white bell? Ye Fan was puzzled.
"Do you know what these bells are?" Qing Chenzi asked Ye Fan.
Ye Fan shook his head.
"Nine bells." Qing Chenzi slowly said.
"Nine bells?" Ye Fan was shocked. "There are nine bells?"
"That's right." Qing Chenzi said to Ye Fan. "Nine bells represent nine spirits. There are nine of them: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, black, and white. They are the condensation of the nine cauldrons' true spirits. Your white bell is only one of them. "
"The condensation of the nine cauldrons' true spirits?" Ye Fan was shocked.
"I just told you that if you collect all the carvings on the nine cauldrons, you can obtain an ancient secret technique. One of them is the long lost ancient soul retrieval technique." Qing Chenzi said to Ye Fan. "If you obtain this secret technique, you don't need to touch the Evil Soul Gathering Cauldron. Even if you are thousands of miles away, you can easily retrieve your wife's soul back into your body. However, what Matsumoto Takeyoshi wanted was not this ancient secret technique, but the ancient inscriptions engraved inside the nine cauldrons. Each cauldron's inscriptions contained an extremely strong power. If the nine great inscriptions were combined, it would have an earth-shattering power! Matsumoto Takeyoshi wanted this power. Endless power, the power of immortality! The inscriptions inside the nine cauldrons have been completely sealed. If you want to obtain the inscriptions inside the nine cauldrons, you must first obtain these nine bells! "
"Senior, do you mean that only these nine bells can open the seals inside the nine cauldrons?" Ye Fan asked in shock.
"You're right." Qing Chenzi nodded. "Each bell can open the seal of the corresponding cauldron. It can also freely travel through enchantments."
"It can freely travel through enchantments?" Ye Fan's eyes lit up when he heard this. If that was the case, then he could ask Cui Ziwen and Ye Ming for help. In addition to the golden bell in Qing Chenzi's hand, he now had five bells. He could obtain the patterns on the five cauldrons!
"You're thinking too simply," Qing Chenzi said as he looked at Ye Fan. "First, each bell keeper can only freely travel through the corresponding cauldron's enchantment. Your white bell is the Yongzhou cauldron. Naturally, it can only enter the enchantment of the Yongzhou cauldron. It has no effect on the other eight cauldrons. Second, each bell keeper cannot give the cauldron's patterns and the inscriptions they protect to others. They cannot practice the secret technique recorded in the cauldron's inscriptions without permission. Those who violate this rule will be punished by the heavens. Third, if anyone wants to study the ancient secret technique on the nine cauldrons' patterns, they must rely on their own strength to gather all nine patterns. Only then can they have the qualifications to study the secret technique! Otherwise, even if you obtain the patterns, you won't be able to decipher them. Forcefully studying them will only lead to Qi Deviation! In other words, other than successfully obtaining the patterns on the Yongzhou cauldron, if you want to obtain the patterns on the other eight cauldrons, you can only rely on your own strength to break the enchantment. And if Matsumoto Takeyoshi wants to obtain the inscriptions inside the nine cauldrons, he must obtain the nine bells. There is no other way. Even if others have the strength to break the enchantment of the cauldrons, it will be useless to you. "
Ye Fan frowned and did not say a word.
