Of course, Ye Chen also knew that this was because the Southern Emperor had asked for it from him.
But this time, he didn't know why the Southern Emperor had called him here.
Passing through the many courtyards, a birdsong and fragrant flowers suddenly entered Ye Chen's eyes. The courtyard was not big, but it was decorated with an ancient style and it was rather artistic.
In the courtyard, there was a rough stone table and four stone stools. Jiang Baiyi and Prince Yan were drinking tea, as if they had not noticed Ye Chen's arrival.
After the servants that brought Ye Chen in withdrew, Ye Chen and Gui Qianqiu quietly stood outside the courtyard.
"Why did you come here, brat, and become so timid?" Suddenly, Jiang Baiyi spoke out with a calm tone, as though he was a compassionate elder teasing his own junior.
"He just arrived." Ye Chen scratched his head in embarrassment. In terms of face, Ye Chen was really thick, and then brought Gui Qianqiu to the courtyard.
Just as he entered the courtyard, a wave of boundless spirit energy blew across. Ye Chen could not help but exclaim in admiration: "Such a clear air and dense spirit energy; it seems like this junior will need to stay for a few more days."
With regards to Ye Chen's flattery, Jiang Baiyi shook his head and laughed, but Prince Yan by his side suddenly placed his gaze on Gui Qianqiu, and said: "I never thought that the ninth rank of the Earth Board, Ghost King Qianqiu, would actually be willing to be a subordinate of another person."
"I am Gui Qianqiu. Greetings, Southern Monarch, Prince Yan." Gui Qianqiu's entire body trembled, he immediately bowed, his title of "Ghost King", how could it be compared with Prince Yan's.
Towards the former, everyone had a respectful heart, and so did Gui Qianqiu. After all, he had personally witnessed the might of this Prince Yan before him, and when he thought of the scene back then, his heart trembled.
"That's right, why did you call me here?" Ye Chen straightforwardly came from everywhere. In his eyes, Jiang Baiyi was not some Southern Emperor, he was just a cultivator that walked at the forefront, so he called Jiang Baiyi "senior".
"Gui Qianqiu, come with me." Just then, Prince Yan suddenly stood up.
How could Gui Qianqiu not understand? had something to say to Ye Chen, and there was no need for him to say it. Thinking of this, he hurriedly left with Prince Yan.
Even though he had broken through to the Middle Period of Heavenly Spirit Stage, it was still difficult for Gui Qianqiu to breathe in front of the Prince Yan.
After a while, only Ye Chen and Jiang Baiyi remained in the courtyard. Ye Chen's expression became serious, as he did not know what was going on, and did not want others to know of it.
Seeing Ye Chen's slightly hurried breathing, Jiang Baiyi immediately laughed. "I never thought that the arrogant Madman Ye would also have a time when he's afraid. Don't worry, this empress will definitely not eat you."
Then, Jiang Baiyi became serious and asked: "How much do you know about All Things Caldron?"
"All Things Caldron?" Ye Chen could not help but frown, why did the Southern Emperor suddenly ask him this? But he still answered truthfully, "The All Things Caldron, one of the ten great quasi-Divine Artifact s, can refine everything, be it treasures, body, or precious medicine …"
Ye Chen told her everything he knew about the All Things Caldron, but Jiang Baiyi's expression did not change. While quietly listening, Ye Chen felt that something was wrong, though he did not know where.
"Last time I saw you, you could control a All Things Caldron." Suddenly, Jiang Baiyi said something strange.
Ye Chen was slightly surprised, but his expression did not change. So the reason why you called me here was because you did not know the method to control the All Things Caldron, is there anything to be embarrassed about? Just ask me directly.
He never thought that Jiang Baiyi was someone who insisted on gaining face even after death. Thinking about it, Ye Chen gave a weird smile in his heart, but pretended to be deep in thought: "I can."
The three words that came out of Jiang Baiyi's mouth forced Jiang Baiyi's mouth back. His face flushed red from anger, he almost wanted to slap this brat to death.
"Cough." Ye Chen deliberately coughed to break the awkward silence: "I don't know if senior has finished yet, but if you have, return the All Things Caldron to junior, junior will study more carefully."
Give it back to you? Research? Jiang Baiyi's calm state of mind that had been calm for many years was now completely disrupted by Ye Chen this time. Could it be that his own state of mind was actually inferior to this little brat's?
It had to be said that these two were cunning old foxes, and neither of them wanted to be at a disadvantage!
Jiang Baiyi coughed dryly a few times, and said: "If I don't beat around the bush with you, the All Things Caldron is very important to me. If you don't tell me the method to control it, you can forget about returning the All Things Caldron."
"The magnificent Southern Monarch wouldn't take advantage of the chaos to rob us, right?" Ye Chen purposely revealed a surprised expression. He obviously did not believe that Jiang Baiyi would take advantage of the situation and rob him. When he first saw the unfamiliar him, he did not kill him, let alone now.
"This Emperor wants to take advantage of the situation. Kid, you won't say anything." Jiang Baiyi looked at Ye Chen in anger. Did this fellow really think that he had a good temper and was disdainful to get angry at a Luoling Stage brat?
"Uh ~" Ye Chen almost choked on his saliva. He did not think that Jiang Baiyi would have such a side to him, and immediately laughed: "Senior, to be honest, telling you this method is useless. This is a method used by artificers."
"Are you saying that you're a weapons craftsman?" This time, it was Jiang Baiyi's turn to be surprised. A moment later, he recovered his wits: "Oh right, I almost forgot, you are the genius of the three competitions, but, although this All Things Caldron is broken, it is still a Holy-ranked equipment, and you are only an Inferior Grade Artifact refiner who can control All Things Caldron?"
It was clear that Jiang Baiyi did not believe Ye Chen's words, and did not believe him at all.
Although he wasn't a refiner, he still had a great deal of knowledge about the profession of a refiner. How could an Inferior Grade Treasure Refiner control a saint artifact?
Ye Chen looked at Jiang Baiyi with a smile that was not a smile, and said: "What if I say that I am a top quality treasure refiner?"
"Top grade treasure refiner?" Even with Jiang Baiyi's temperament, he was still incomparably shocked. One had to know, in terms of Changfeng Empire, there was only one top quality Artifact Forger, and that was the Patriarch of the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Ao.
If you, a mere Peak Luoling Stage cultivator, were to become a top-grade Artifact Forger, then wouldn't that be a big deal in the world of artifact forging?!
Ye Chen naturally knew that Jiang Baiyi did not believe him, and there was no need for him to think about what Jiang Baiyi had proven, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "I wonder if senior would mind telling this one, what use do you have of All Things Caldron? Of course, I don't have any other intentions. I'm just thinking that if I can help senior, then I might be able to do my best. "
It was not that Ye Chen did not want to tell Jiang Baiyi how to control the All Things Caldron, it was just that he really did not know where to start, because he was a true refiner. Without breaking through to the Holy Spirit Stage, ordinary people would not be able to control the All Things Caldron, even normal refiners would not be able to.
Jiang Baiyi slightly pondered, looked at Ye Chen deeply, and said: "Alright, then I'll tell you about it."
