At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan discovered that beneath the collapsed deep pit, an alchemy furnace, the Ice Green Sword, and the Jade Maiden Mirror were buried.
Clearly, these were all daily necessities of Yu Xuanji. When Chen Zhen buried her, these artifacts were sealed beneath the wooden coffin.
Although these artifacts were buried beneath a thick layer of bricks and soil, Cheng Xiaofan's heaven-defying eyes could see them clearly.
It was evident that the Ice Green Sword was used by Yu Xuanji for martial arts practice, and the Jade Maiden Mirror was for her grooming.
Especially the alchemy furnace, it made Cheng Xiaofan look at it with newfound respect.
It was an alchemy furnace crafted from bronze, with various spell-infused runes carved around it. The entire furnace resembled a beast crouching on the ground.
It could be said that with the surrounding rune enchantments, this alchemy furnace was as if it were alive.
These were all artifacts from Yu Xuanji's previous life, and one could imagine how much she must have wanted them.
Cheng Xiaofan extended his hand and beckoned!
A majestic dragon force roared and surged into the collapsed deep pit, instantly lifting all the artifacts to Cheng Xiaofan's front.
Filtered by the dragon force, these artifacts were spotless.
Even though they had been buried underground for so many years, they were as if newly made, showing no signs of wear from the erosion of time.
Instantly!
Cheng Xiaofan returned to the space again.
"Yu Xuanji, these are all your things, aren't they?" Cheng Xiaofan immediately piled the artifacts beside Yu Xuanji.
Yu Xuanji was under the osmanthus tree, playing with a white rabbit.
When she saw the artifacts, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, Mr. Cheng, these are all things I used in my past life. How did you find them?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "I found these things at the bottom of the collapsed deep pit. I knew they must be artifacts from your previous life, so I retrieved them and returned them to you!"
Yu Xuanji continuously stroked the artifacts with her hands.
She said, "My master must have used her magic to shield these artifacts. Otherwise, I would have been able to sense them!"
"It's likely that my master was worried that if I sensed the existence of these artifacts and tried to move them, it would harm my spirit, which is why she shielded them."
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "You are correct, it must be so!"
Afterward, he bid farewell to Yu Xuanji.
Time passed so quickly.
When he emerged from the space again, the sky had completely darkened.
"Chirp—"
Under the starry sky, the Sky-Breaking Eagle carried Cheng Xiaofan back to the back mountain of Zhuxi Village.
It was already late. To avoid disturbing his goddess Bai's rest, Cheng Xiaofan did not return to the villa but went directly to the bamboo pavilion on the back mountain.
"Ring ring ring..."
Just as Cheng Xiaofan lay down on the rocking chair and was about to close his eyes to rest, a sharp mobile phone ring suddenly sounded.
Who could it be?
Why would someone call at a time when he was about to rest?
Could it be that unreasonable Lu Shengming calling?
Cheng Xiaofan took out his mobile phone, unlocked it, and saw an unfamiliar number.
He couldn't help but frown. He pressed the answer button and asked impatiently, "Who are you, and why are you calling at this hour?"
"Heh heh!"
From the other end of the phone came the charming laughter of a young woman, "You are the Cheng Xiaofan I'm looking for, aren't you?"
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan's frown deepened. He said, "You are correct, I am Cheng Xiaofan. Who exactly are you, and what do you want with me?"
The woman on the phone said, "Guess who I am?"
Cheng Xiaofan let out a cold laugh, his eyes narrowing slightly, and he said indifferently, "Let me guess? From your voice, I can deduce your height and appearance."
"A tall woman, five feet eight inches, a melon-seed face, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, very red lips, and relatively fair and tender skin. You are indeed quite beautiful!"
"To the right of your lips, there is a red beauty mark, which adds a touch of allure to your appearance."
"That's right—"
Finally, Cheng Xiaofan added, "From your voice, I can also tell that you are quite domineering, autocratic, and have at least dozens of lives on your hands."
"It's strange, in this peaceful era, there are still women like you around?"
The person who heard Cheng Xiaofan's words was shocked and said, "I never expected that you could not only judge someone's appearance from their voice but also know how many lives they have taken."
"A truly remarkable art of discerning people by their voice. To think that someone could master such a long-lost martial art of the jianghu so proficiently, I truly admire you!"
Cheng Xiaofan said coldly, "Enough nonsense, tell me, who exactly are you?"
The young woman said, "Alright, I know you, Cheng Xiaofan, are a straightforward person. So I'll get straight to the point. My name is You Xiaoren, and I am the new sect leader of the Hidden Black Sect."
"I've come to find you because I want to make a deal with you!"
Cheng Xiaofan was instantly stunned.
He hadn't expected that the person calling him at this time would be the sect leader of the Hidden Black Sect.
What surprised Cheng Xiaofan even more was that the sect leader of the Hidden Black Sect would be a young woman named You Xiaoren.
Earlier, Cheng Xiaofan had used the miraculous art of discerning people by voice to determine her appearance and the lives she had taken.
From this, he concluded that this woman must be a female Yama from some sect.
He just hadn't expected her to be the sect leader of the Hidden Black Sect.
To get Ye Shisan, even the sect leader of the Hidden Black Sect had shown up. It seemed that Ye Shisan, this earth-element cultivator, was extremely important to them.
Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh!
Just as he had resolved Yu Xuanji's issues, the Hidden Black Sect appeared one after another.
Was he not going to get any rest?
"Speak, what kind of deal do you want to make with me?"
Cheng Xiaofan's tone carried a hint of extreme impatience. He said, "I'm extremely sleepy right now. Get to the point, don't delay my sleep!"
"You..."
Faced with Cheng Xiaofan's rough and irritable demeanor, You Xiaoren couldn't help but feel angry. In this world, who dared to speak to her like this!
But thinking of her purpose, she gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger, saying, "Cheng Xiaofan, I'll get straight to the point. I want to buy Ye Shisan from you for ten million US dollars!"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately feigned surprise and said, "Heavens, ten million US dollars? Then quickly tell me, what exactly is Ye Shisan?"
"Regardless of whether I have it or not, I'll find a way to get it for you!"
"Cheng Xiaofan, don't play dumb when you know what's going on?"
You Xiaoren was so angry that she felt like spitting blood upon hearing his words. "Ye Shisan is not an 'it,' he is a person, do you understand?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "You Xiaoren, don't be fierce with me, okay? As a beautiful woman, can you speak to me more gently? You know, I love dealing with gentle beauties the most."
"You say that Ye Shisan is a person, then you must introduce him to me in detail. What kind of person is he!"
