Chapter 673: Shocked Han Fei

Han Fei lowered his head only to find that the hot pot was gone. He shook his head with a smile, stepping into the array.

Originally, Han Fei was not in a hurry to find Old Jiang.

But who would have expected that Guan Qingyan brought him to the place where Old Jiang was hiding?

Han Fei stepped into the array and found himself in a plantation. As far as he could see, there was nothing but golden wheat without any tall trees. The sunshine poured down on the golden wheat field, becoming even more dazzling.

There was a small road in the wheat fields and the fields were dotted with all kinds of crops, giving Han Fei a feeling of returning home.

In the middle of a strawberry garden, two wooden houses stood quietly, in front of which there were winnowing fans for drying melons and fruits.

The familiar big jar was placed in front of the wooden house, the vinegar jar was placed on the open space and on a swaying recliner, Old Jiang was looking at Han Fei impatiently. Next to him, it was the hot pot that Han Fei had just cooked.

As soon as Old Jiang saw Han Fei, he cursed, “I told you not to look for it. I have only been here for a few years and you’ve come to bother me?”

Han Fei said snappishly, “I came to bother you? Come on, I was dragged here by the two others just now. They said they wanted to come to visit an array master! I didn’t know you were here. By the way, old man, not bad, a master of arrays, huh? Last time, you ran away, only leaving me the “Spirit Gathering Scripture”. I can’t understand that book well and haven’t mastered many arrays at all…”

Han Fei complained loudly, almost yelling at Old Jiang’s face.

Finishing bombarding Old Jiang with a deluge of complaints, Han Fei moved a chair, sat in front of the hot pot, and started to eat.

Han Fei asked, “Where is Sister Qin?”

Old Jiang grunted. “She hasn’t come back yet!”

“Sister Qin went to work again? By the way, where is the Bone Yard? I haven’t heard of such a place on the Scattered Stars Island.”

Old Jiang threw a chopstick at Han Fei’s head. “Why do you have so many questions? Blah blah…”

Han Fei was speechless. “Don’t you need chopsticks to eat? I can’t believe a person at your age would litter!”

Old Jiang snorted. “You don’t have to ask about the Bone Yard. It’s none of your business.”

Han Fei scoffed. “Fine, I won’t ask anymore. It’s just about the Sea Quelling Painting, right? I have the Sea Token. Whenever that painting appears, I’ll immediately find out!”

“Puff!”

Old Jiang sprayed out the food in his mouth. “Where did you get the Sea Token?”

Han Fei’s face was black. “Why do you care? I got it from the Fiery Mountain!”

Old Jiang suddenly rolled his eyes. “Well, even if you have the Sea Token, it’s useless. You haven’t got the Sea Quelling Painting yet. Maybe the Sea Token is of no use. Forget it… I’m tired of eating hot pot. Have you come up with any new dishes?”

Han Fei chuckled. “Ha! Am I your cook?”

Old Jiang said, “If you cook new dishes for me, I’ll give you some advice about the Spirit Gathering Scripture. By the way, are the two kids from the Guan Family and the Mu Family in the Thousand Star City?”

Han Fei was surprised. “Can you even see that?”

Old Jiang sneered and said, “It’s easy to guess. Three-star refiners at this age. They must be from those two families. But… Hey, who did you learn refining from?”

Han Fei grinned and said, “I’m a genius! A genius learns everything quickly. Do I need to learn from anyone?”

Old Jiang scoffed. “Since you are a genius, why the hell did you come to ask for my advice? Teach yourself then!”

Han Fei was speechless. “Well, Grandpa, to be honest, if I had enough time, believe it or not, it will take me a year to read through the Spirit Gathering Scripture…”

“Bullsh*t, it has been three years. Tell me how many arrays have you learned?”

Han Fei immediately shut up. He certainly couldn’t tell Old Jiang that he had only learned six arrays. Otherwise, he would definitely be laughed at.

Han Fei rolled his eyes and said, “It’s none of your business. I’m just too busy to have enough time to learn arrays. You know, I need to cultivate and refine weapons.”

Old Jiang sneered. “Come on, don’t tell me you’ve only mastered the spirit gathering array. Aren’t you here to ask for my advice on arrays? Now show me the arrays you’ve mastered…”

Han Fei gritted his teeth. This old man is picking on me!

However, then he realized what Old Jiang said was true. He’d better show the arrays he’d learnt before Jiang Qin came back.

Therefore, Han Fei set up a Six Spirit Armor.

Old Jiang sneered. “A Six Spirit Armor? How do you have the face to show this to me?”

Han Fei stomped again, and a breath concealing array appeared, concealing Han Fei’s breath.

Old Jiang rolled his eyes. “Are you serious?”

Han Fei gritted his teeth, stomped once again, and a sound insulation array appeared. Once again, he was despised…

Stomping again, he set up the last array he’d mastered, the Seven Spirit Killing Array, and as expected, he ended up being laughed at by Old Jiang.

Old Jiang pointed at him and said, “So, after so long, that’s all you’ve learned?”

Han Fei bared his teeth. “I’m busy, OK? What strength did I have when you left? At that time, I was only a great fishing master, but now I’m a junior Hanging Fisher, four-star master and three-star refiner… I’m busy. Can’t you tell?”

Old Jiang spat. “Nonsense! Go pick some vegetables. And tell me, how many arrays can you draw now?”

Han Fei gave a dry laugh. “More than 50 ones. Although I can’t set them up, I can draw them in a moment.”

Old Jiang sighed. “So, you can only draw more than 50 arrays? Do you know the Spirit Gathering Scripture contains nearly a thousand arrays?”

Han Fei was a little embarrassed. “Uh! In fact, if you give me a little more time, the number can be increased.”

Old Jiang said angrily, “But that can’t explain why you only learned five or six arrays in several years!”

Han Fei was a bit ashamed, so he just ran to the plantation. “Hey, Old Man, why are you angry? I’ve told you it’s because I don’t have time. But I’m good at breaking arrays, right? You see, I broke your array in a minute.”

Old Jiang was so angry that he laughed. “That’s the door I left for you. If you couldn’t even break that, you’d better kill yourself! Don’t tell anyone you have learned the Spirit Gathering Scripture. I can’t afford that disgrace.”

Han Fei blushed, which was very rare for him. Damn, why did the old man scold me as soon as he saw me? Can’t he be nicer to me?

He immediately changed the topic, “Oh! I recently developed a few new dishes and a new seasoning. It’s really delicious. Let me go dig up some seasonings.”

Old Jiang frowned. “A new seasoning? Like vinegar?”

“It’s completely different. But that’s just an idea. If I successfully produce it, it should be no worse than vinegar.”

…

When Jiang Qin came back and entered the array, she felt something seemed to be different at home. A refreshing fragrance wafted throughout the plantation, which she had never smelled before.

When she strode to the front of the house, she saw two people, one old and one small, dealing with a Blue Tide Turtle.

The huge turtle shell was thrown in the corner, and a big pot was full of something smelling sweet.

Old Jiang asked, “Sugar? This stuff is quite magical. I never thought of squeezing the sweet juice from spiritual fruits and drying it.”

Han Fei said proudly, “Sure, sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty, they are all wonderful tastes. When I’ve got time, I’ll make a few more seasonings. So how to fuse different arrays? Should I create a new one, modify the original arrays, or let spiritual energy play its part?”

Old Jiang chuckled. “It smells good. Is this why the turtle should be chopped into so many pieces? You haven’t even learned the arrays and you’re already thinking about how to fuse them? You think too much.”

Han Fei said, “The meat will be tastier being treated this way. Who said that I can’t design new arrays without learning enough arrays? I think these can go hand in hand. I can learn to set up arrays and draw them simultaneously.”

While the two were having a heated discussion, Jiang Qin said lightly, “Han Fei, why did you come so soon?”

Old Jiang responded, “Oh! He found this place…”

Han Fei quickly turned around and grinned. “Hi! Sister Qin, I haven’t seen you in a few years, and you became more beautiful! Now you look like a teenage girl!”

BAM!

Han Fei’s forehead was knocked, and Jiang Qin rolled her eyes at him. “Glib-tongued. I am going to find you in a few days. This time, in the battle between the human race and sea monsters, you were too impulsive. It’s not a good thing to be so high-profile.”

Han Fei was astonished. “Qin sister, how do you know this?”

Jiang Qin’s face relaxed when she glimpsed the dishes on the table. “I knew it from the time you came to the Scattered Stars Island. You were allocated to the Skeleton Shore, which I arranged.”

“Puff!”

Han Fei gaped at her in shock. “Huh? Why didn’t I know this?”

Old Jiang snorted. “Why do you need to know? Your strength is so poor. It would only do you good to give you a chance to practice. But you just kept refining weapons to make money and buy spiritual fruits. I’m so disappointed in you…”

Han Fei was speechless. However, after a long pause, Han Fei suddenly exclaimed, “How did you know I wanted to buy spiritual fruit?”

Smack!

Han Fei suddenly slapped his thigh. “So, you bought the Million Poison Fruit, right? You did it on purpose!”
