Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2182: Chapter 2217: Will You Give It to Me or Not?

Ding Fan flipped through books, reading various descriptions of the Elixir of Immortality, but to his disappointment, after going through more than twenty books, he couldn’t find a description of a spiritual material similar to the Golden Dragon Herb.

After browsing five more pamphlets, Ding Fan finally found information about the Golden Dragon Herb, confirming that this magical material was actually known as the Golden Dragon Branch.

A single Golden Dragon Branch should sell for nine billion or ten billion Black Obsidian!

Ding Fan remembered the Golden Dragon Branch because, in another world, Clan Chief Ye Li once mentioned spiritual materials that could sell for nine or ten billion in price, which had shocked Ding Fan at the time.

And now he has six Golden Dragon Branches? Isn’t that tens of billions of Black Obsidian? Plus those thirty-nine spiritual materials, it’s at least over tens of billions here, right? Ding Fan casually estimated the value of this space ring to be nearly seventy billion.

"Gulp, gulp!"

Ding Fan swallowed a few times; he now felt like a millionaire, tens of billions of Black Obsidian, how should he spend it? What realm could he achieve in cultivation? A single attempt only costs three million Black Obsidian, with the resources he has now, how many attempts could he make?

Ding Fan felt a bit lost, recalling not too long ago when he was still clueless about what Black Obsidian was when he first arrived in the Divine Realm, and now he has tens of billions of Black Obsidian.

"If only I’d had this much Black Obsidian when I first arrived, how wonderful that would have been?"

Ding Fan thought to himself that if he’d had Black Obsidian back then, everything might have been different, maybe he and Xia Mengqing would have run away together, and perhaps the affair with the Skeleton Sect wouldn’t have cost him Xia Mengqing.

Of course, he was just imagining things; how could he have found so much Black Obsidian back then?

But thinking of Xia Mengqing made him calm down quickly. He couldn’t be blinded by these spiritual materials; power was what mattered. Without strength, the threat of death loomed at all times, and tens of billions would become someone else’s.

"Will the Zhong Family seek revenge?"

He pondered this question. Although normally the Zhong Family wouldn’t dare send anyone into the Tianmu Sea, what if they did send someone? What would happen then?

After half an hour of meditation, he decided to move and live on Baisheng Island.

He also planned to establish many prohibitions on Baisheng Island. If enemies came in, he could enter that other world.

That world contained nine Divine Realm Fifth Level Peak experts, with the Ye Family and Meng Family being the strongest alliance. If any strong ones among them came out, even a Sixth Level Peak expert couldn’t necessarily win.

"Mu Gaosou!"

Ding Fan yelled toward the door. Mu Gaosou slipped in, and Ding Fan instructed him to secretly arrange things with the Second Elder on the island, repeatedly emphasizing the need for secrecy.

Thus, with a plan in place, he appeared to be living at the Dead Volcano on Baisheng Island while he could set up some prohibitions there. If enemies assaulted, they could directly break into the volcano and enter the other world.

Mu Gaosou acted as Ding Fan instructed. The Second Elder soon arrived after hearing about it, taking some of Ding Fan’s advice to start setting things up.

The Skeleton Sect wasn’t short on Black Obsidian now; with Ding Fan’s Beast Bone Pendant, they could sell one Red Cistanche and Blood Thorn Sprout each month, earning a million Black Obsidian, building a secret palace for Ding Fan on Baisheng Island, and setting prohibitions wasn’t difficult.

Once the Second Elder left, Ding Fan couldn’t calm down to cultivate. He kept thinking about the layout of Baisheng Island and pondering what would happen in case of an emergency.

"Or perhaps, give these Golden Dragon Branches to Ye Li and the others?"

Ding Fan’s heart suddenly surged with a bold idea. Ye Li had mentioned before that they lacked a few spiritual materials, preventing a breakthrough to Divine Realm Sixth Level, the most crucial being this Golden Dragon Branch.

If that were the case...

If they were given the Golden Dragon Branch, let alone an instantaneous breakthrough to six Divine Realm Sixth Level experts, even four or five would be a terrifying force. With a Divine Realm Sixth Level expert protecting, even the Zhong Family couldn’t threaten regardless of how many came.

He could leave the Northern Wastelands for the Central Plains, perhaps even go to Tongzhou to find Xia Mengqing.

Thinking of this, Ding Fan shook with excitement; Ye Family and Meng Family were trapped by prohibitions in that world and couldn’t emerge; if they broke through to Divine Realm Sixth Level, they could easily enter and leave the other world. With their protection, he could go wherever he desired.

"Xia Mengqing, I’ll soon go find you."

Ding Fan took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out. As he exited the castle, a cold wind swept past, causing his footsteps to pause, waking him up somewhat with the chill.

"No, I can’t be so impulsive!"

He calmed down. He still had too many suspicions about the other world concerning the Ye Family and Meng Family. What if it was a trap? He gave two super families the needed spiritual materials only to be backstabbed?

The more Ding Fan knew, the greater his reverence for the world; it’s perilous, a wrong move could lead to death.

Mu Gaosou said the Meng Family was naturally dull-witted, in other words, somewhat foolish, but the Ye Family was infamous for their craftiness. If arrangements were made carelessly, not only would the Dragon Herb be lost, but perhaps his life too.

Moreover, the stele inscribed him as the savior of the two clans was too absurd for Ding Fan to believe until now. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

He stood atop the mountain deep in thought for a long time before devising a strategy.

"Mu Gaosou!"

Ding Fan whispered sharply, and Mu Gaosou appeared like a ghost. Ding Fan didn’t look at him and asked in a low voice, "Ye Family, do you think I can trust them?"

Mu Gaosou was a bit surprised; he didn’t expect Ding Fan to suddenly mention the Ye Family. What was his master thinking again?

He pondered and then responded to Ding Fan, "Considering what they did for you in the past, they’re at least trustworthy. They shouldn’t have any schemes against you."

Ding Fan did not reply. After thinking for a moment, he said to Mu Gaosou, "Can you get detailed information on the Ye and Meng Clans?"

"That won’t be difficult."

Mu Gaosou replied, "These two clans are very famous; many ancient books have records of them. If you want to find out, you just need to buy some books."

"You go!" Ding Fan waved his hand and said, "Go have the Second Elder gather the most detailed information. This matter must be kept secret; don’t let anyone find out."

In a flash, Mu Gaosou descended Jingshan, while Ding Fan stood at the mountain top deep in thought, returning to the castle only at nightfall.

By the next morning, the Second Elder personally delivered a scroll of ancient books. Ding Fan read through it and gained some understanding of the Ye and Meng Clans.

Ye Li did not lie; these two families are indeed well-known in the Central Plains. They once had a history of dominance for hundreds of thousands of years in the Central Plains.

Five thousand years ago, they were suddenly besieged by the Six Great Clans of the Central Plains, which destroyed the two families. The book records that everyone in these two clans died, and it seems that the outside powerful forces didn’t know that there were people from these two families hiding in another world.

Ding Fan didn’t move all day. After dusk, he suddenly shouted in a low, deep voice, "Mu Gaosou!"

Mu Gaosou had always lived in Jingshan Castle, and since recognizing Ding Fan as his master, he has been protecting him. When he heard Ding Fan call, he appeared before him, and Ding Fan gestured, "Let’s go, take me to Baisheng Island, to that other world, and make sure that none of our traces can be tracked." freewёbnoνel.com

"To another world?"

Mu Gaosou was somewhat surprised. What was Ding Fan going to do in another world now? But he didn’t dare to ask and nodded, "Alright, I understand."

Mu Gaosou grabbed Ding Fan with one hand and charged out of Skull Island under the cover of darkness. He chose a very secluded route, as he was familiar with the traps laid out on Skull Island and naturally avoided them.

Quietly sneaking off Skull Island, they silently embarked onto Baisheng Island. There were hidden sentries arranged by Skull Island on the island, but how could they track down Mu Gaosou?

The two moved along the volcano into the passage to the Underground River. Ding Fan, however, didn’t let Mu Gaosou follow him but had him guard the Underground River, waiting for him. If anything happened, he should immediately crush the talisman, and he would emerge.

Ding Fan entered the Underground Lake alone, then lifted the prohibition and once again teleported to the other world.

He appeared once more in the forest where he had last arrived, but this time there was someone stationed nearby. Two martial artists from the Ye Family jumped out, recognized Ding Fan, and knelt respectfully beside him, saying, "Greetings, Master."

Ding Fan nodded lightly and ordered, "Take me to see your clan chief!"

The Ye Family guard, a middle-aged martial artist, led Ding Fan towards the clan, while the other rushed ahead to inform everyone.

The two martial artists were likely Fourth Level Martial Artists from the Divine Realm, moving swiftly so that in just half an hour, the distant clan was in sight.

The first person returned early to report, and Ye Li personally led four elders out to meet Ding Fan. Ye Xiaoxi was among the crowd, many eyes filled with excitement and curiosity as they looked at Ding Fan.

"Welcome, Master!"

When Ding Fan arrived, Ye Li and several elders bowed, while the rest knelt to the ground, cheering, "Welcome, Master."

Only Ye Xiaoxi, pouting with discontent, lazily joined in with the crowd’s chant. Ding Fan showed no smile on his face, coldly nodded, and said, "Get up, Family Head Ye, and several elders take me to the council chamber."

Ding Fan’s attitude made people a bit disappointed, and Ye Xiaoxi was visibly unhappy. If Ding Fan were at the Sixth Level or above in the Divine Realm, that would be one thing, but was he acting so high and mighty at the Divine Realm Second Level Peak?

However, people did not express dissatisfaction, and they respectfully followed Ding Fan out of the room. As they walked halfway, Ye Li softly asked, "Master, what happened?"

Ding Fan ignored Ye Li entirely, proudly walking ahead, as if transformed into another person from the first encounter, much more arrogant and seeming domineering.

Ye Li and the four elders looked at each other in surprise but still showed little dissatisfaction, continuing to follow Ding Fan in silence.

Ding Fan entered the room and sat silently on the throne. He did not speak, and Ye Li and the others didn’t dare to sit down, standing respectfully while waiting for Ding Fan to speak.

Silence, long silence!

Ding Fan arrogantly drank the tea served by the maid, frowning and saying nothing, leaving Ye Li and the others bewildered, unsure of what was going on.

After a full half hour, Ding Fan’s eyes turned to Ye Li and said, "Family Head Ye, I’ve encountered an urgent matter and need Black Obsidian. Can you give me some spiritual materials? I intend to exchange them for Black Obsidian outside."

The expressions on the elders’ faces changed slightly, as Ding Fan came in without saying anything and directly asking for spiritual materials. Is this the way to ask for something?

Ye Li’s expression did not change, nodding and said, "Master, how much Black Obsidian do you need? I shall immediately send someone to fetch it for you."

Ding Fan casually replied, "Thirty-five billion!"

"Hiss..."

The four elders couldn’t help but gasp. Ding Fan’s demand was too large; a single Limitless Fruit is worth about fifty million, and he wants around seventy of them at once. Does he think the Ye Family is his own?

Ye Li hesitated for a moment, but after a while, he turned to Ding Fan and said, "The spiritual materials are not an issue. I am only worried that if you take out so many spiritual materials, Master may be placed in danger should some people catch wind of it. Master, can you tell me what’s happening? And how do you plan to sell these items?"

"What’s the point in asking so many questions?"

Ding Fan arrogantly waved a hand and said, "I’m just asking if you will give it to me. If not, I’ll find another way outside."
