"How is it? Do you believe me now? "Chi Yao said to Ye Fan as he changed his hand seals.
As Chi Yao's hand seals continued to change, the huge meteorite floating in mid-air was slowly sucked into the golden silk bag.
Whoosh …
The golden silk bag quickly shrank back to its original size and fell into Chi Yao's hands.
Obviously, his golden silk bag was a treasure. Although it didn't look like much from the outside, there was something else inside.
"Why would he give you such a simple mission?" Ye Fan frowned and asked Chi Yao.
"Simple? Hmph, "Chi Yao sneered as he put the golden silk bag back on his waist." You should know better than me how shrewd Matsumoto Takeyoshi is. If it was so easy to retrieve this meteorite, Matsumoto Takeyoshi would have sent his ninjas to retrieve it. Why would he send me? "
"What do you mean by that?" Ye Fan asked Chi Yao.
"Just for this piece of broken rock, I killed seven experts from the martial arts world of other countries in a row and destroyed almost half of a city before I was able to get my hands on it. And you say it's simple?" Chi Yao looked at Ye Fan and said.
"Did you snatch this thing?" Ye Fan frowned and asked.
"If I didn't snatch it, then did someone give it to me as a gift?" Chi Yao smiled and said, "There were more than a dozen experts who coveted this thing. They were from Tibet, Korea, the Western Regions, and even Europe. There were men and women, old and young. There were all kinds of people, but I sent them all away. If they weren't dead, they were injured."
Ye Fan was not surprised by Chi Yao's words.
A dozen catties of high-quality meteorite iron was already worth tens of thousands of gold. It was something that could only be found by chance, not to mention this high-quality meteorite that weighed a thousand catties!
For an expert, owning this meteorite not only meant wealth and glory, it also meant that they would be invincible with a divine weapon in hand!
"Don't just talk about me. What news do you have from your side?" Chi Yao asked Ye Fan.
"No." Ye Fan's answer was straightforward.
"If there's no news, we'd better meet less. Otherwise, Matsumoto Takeyoshi will be suspicious," Chi Yao said. "If there's news, I'll look for you."
Chi Yao said. Then, she flicked her sleeve and turned into a black star. She flashed past Ye Fan and rushed towards the warship.
Phew …
The strong wind generated by Chi Yao's swift and fierce movements blew Ye Fan's black robe high into the air, and then it slowly fell down.
Ye Fan slowly turned around and looked at the rapidly disappearing black starlight with a solemn expression.
After a long time, his figure flashed and instantly vanished …
A day passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, the sun had set in the west and the stars were shining brightly in the sky.
During this day, Ye Fan had mapped the patterns of the divine cauldrons in his mind onto the scroll.
Now, he had obtained four divine cauldrons. They were the Qingzhou Cauldron obtained from the Fire Dragon Town, the Jing Zhou Cauldron obtained from the Sishui River, the Liangzhou Cauldron obtained from the Heavenly Lake, and the Yongzhou Cauldron that he was guarding in the Mount Everest!
Among the nine cauldrons, he had obtained four!
In addition, the divine cauldron in the East Sea would be found soon!
He had already searched more than half of the entire East Sea. With his current cultivation, as long as he encountered another stormy night, he would definitely find traces of the divine cauldron!
At that time, he would obtain the patterns of the five divine cauldrons!
However, even so, Ye Fan was still not happy.
The divine cauldron patterns on the scroll were intricate and extremely dense!
There were mountains, rivers, ancient words, celestial talismans, flowing clouds, flames, birds, beasts, and even mountain spirits, demons, and monsters!
In addition to these, there were also a large number of mysterious and exquisite patterns engraved on the cauldron. They were densely packed and intertwined with each other, causing people to be unable to understand their meaning.
Ye Fan had only looked at it for an hour, but he already felt dizzy and upset. He even stimulated his own endless desires!
He quickly rolled up the scroll and put it aside. He pinched the space between his eyebrows to calm himself down as soon as possible.
It seemed like it was indeed as Qing Chenzi had said at that time. There was an ancient array hidden in the patterns, and once he was enchanted, he would go berserk and lose his mind. In serious cases, he would be mentally exhausted and lose his life on the spot!
He was already affected by the Evil Qi and the demonic power in his body. If he were to fall into the ancient array in the divine cauldron patterns, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Everything should wait until all nine cauldron patterns were gathered.
Ye Fan pinched the space between his eyebrows as he thought to himself.
Phew …
Just as Ye Fan was thinking, a light sound of a figure landing on the ground came from outside the cabin.
After hearing this sound, Ye Fan immediately frowned.
The aura of the person outside the door was very stable. His breathing was very smooth, and there was no sense of stagnation. Just from the sound of it, one could tell that he was an expert, and a peerless expert!
It was very obvious that the light sound of landing was purposely made by this person. His purpose was to make Ye Fan let down his guard.
Ye Fan already knew the identity of this expert outside the cabin.
This person was none other than the solitary and taciturn expert, Funakoshi Shinichi!
Why was he here?
Ye Fan was puzzled.
One must know that Funakoshi Shinichi and the other experts did not talk much, let alone him.
Other than nodding to each other in public, the two of them had almost never spoken.
Knock knock knock …
A light and rhythmic knocking sound came from the door.
Ye Fan stood up from the praying mat and flew downstairs to the door.
Ye Fan still respected Funakoshi Shinichi from the bottom of his heart.
There were three reasons.
First, this person had always been a man of few words. He did not like to fight for fame and fortune. When he was young, he lived alone on a small island. During the day, he would go out to sea to fish, and at night, he would weave a net and sleep. Moreover, whether it was the off-season or the peak season, whether it was windy or rainy, he would only catch two basins of fish. One basin was used to fill his stomach, and the other basin was used to exchange for wine. He lived on the island for ten years.
Second, this person's cultivation was very high. He was kind-hearted and empathized with the people. During the drought, this person caught two whales that weighed more than a hundred thousand kilograms from the sea and saved thousands of people who were about to starve to death!
Thirdly, and this was also what Ye Fan valued the most, that this person was loyal and righteous. After his wife fell into the sea, this person did not choose to continue marrying a virtuous wife. Instead, he resolutely entered the mountain to cultivate!
After Matsumoto Takeyoshi helped him find his wife's remains, he cried in front of his wife's grave for a day and a night. Everyone was moved.
It was also because he was indebted to Matsumoto Takeyoshi that this person came all the way to the Great Ming Dynasty to help Matsumoto Takeyoshi find the Nine Cauldrons.
Originally, Ye Fan was not interested in this person. However, after hearing about this person's deeds from Akatsuki, Ye Fan could not help but respect Funakoshi Shinichi.
This person was able to endure loneliness. His cultivation was very high, but he loved the people as if they were his own children. He was a man of few words, but he was loyal and loyal. How could Ye Fan not treat such a person with respect?
Huala …
Ye Fan, who came to the cabin door, tidied up his clothes and opened the cabin door.
Outside the cabin, Funakoshi Shinichi was wearing a gray cloak and white socks. He had an apologetic expression on his face.
"Funakoshi has come rashly and disturbed Mr. Ye." Funakoshi Shinichi, who had short hair and a buzz cut, bowed to Ye Fan politely as he spoke to Ye Fan in a deep voice.
"Mr. Funakoshi is too polite. What a rare guest. Please come in." Ye Fan first nodded to Funakoshi Shinichi in return. Then, he extended his hand to invite Funakoshi Shinichi into the cabin.
"Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Ye." Funakoshi Shinichi nodded to Ye Fan politely again. Then, he bowed and walked in.
"Mr. Funakoshi, please come upstairs." Ye Fan closed the cabin door and extended his hand to invite Funakoshi Shinichi upstairs.
"Thank you." Funakoshi Shinichi thanked him and walked upstairs.
Ye Fan followed closely behind him.
After entering the cabin on the second floor, Ye Fan invited Funakoshi Shinichi to sit on the futon and poured a cup of hot tea for him. Then, he sat in front of Funakoshi Shinichi.
When Baihu saw that there was a guest, she immediately ran to the stove and obediently laid down.
"Good tea." Funakoshi Shinichi took a sip of the tea and complimented.
"This tea was sent by Matsumoto Takeyoshi last time. It's authentic Fujian Dahongpao." Ye Fan smiled and said, "If Mr. Funakoshi likes it, you can bring a few bags back to try."
"Mr. Ye, aren't you curious as to why I came here uninvited?" Funakoshi Shinichi smiled as he put the teacup on the wooden table. He looked at Ye Fan and asked.
"It's my honor that Mr. Funakoshi is here to drink tea." Ye Fan picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. "As for why you are here, if you want to tell me, you will. There's no need for me to ask."
As Ye Fan spoke, he smiled and took a sip of tea.
"Hahaha …"
Hearing Ye Fan's words, Funakoshi Shinichi looked up and laughed.
"Mr. Ye is really different. You're so straightforward." Funakoshi Shinichi smiled.
Ye Fan smiled.
"There's an old saying in the Central Plains, 'You don't visit a temple without a reason.'" Funakoshi Shinichi said to Ye Fan, "I came here tonight because I want to ask Mr. Ye for help."
"Mr. Funakoshi, please go ahead." Ye Fan went straight to the point and said, "As long as I can do it, I will do my best."
Funakoshi Shinichi paused for a moment before he smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, you haven't even finished listening to me yet. How can you agree so quickly? Aren't you afraid that I'll make things difficult for you? "
"Mr. Funakoshi is an honest and upright person. How could you do such a despicable thing?" Ye Fan put down his teacup and smiled at Funakoshi Shinichi.
"Funakoshi is just a martial artist. Mr. Ye, you overestimate me." Funakoshi Shinichi smiled and said.
"As the saying goes, 'Justice is in everyone's heart.' What kind of person Mr. Funakoshi is? Everyone has their own opinion." Ye Fan smiled.
Funakoshi Shinichi smiled and didn't say anything.
"What do you want me to help with? I'm all ears. "Ye Fan said.
"To be honest, Mr. Ye, I came here because I want to invite Mr. Ye to the Ming Dynasty Palace." Funakoshi Shinichi calmly said to Ye Fan.
"The Ming Dynasty Palace?" Ye Fan frowned. "Mr. Funakoshi means …"
"Mr. Ye, please tell the Ming Dynasty's crown prince that Matsumoto Takeyoshi is secretly building a large number of high-quality weapons," Funakoshi Shinichi leaned closer to Ye Fan and said in a low voice, "The day the weapons are ready is the day the Black Feather Army will gather."
