Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2183: Chapter 2218: They’re All Yours

Ye Li hesitated for a moment, but after a while, he said to Ding Fan, "There’s no problem with the Spiritual Materials. I’m just worried that if you take so much Spiritual Materials out, once certain people find out, it might put you in danger. Could you tell me what’s happening? And how will you sell these things?"

"What’s the use of asking so much?"

Ding Fan arrogantly waved his hand and said, "I’m just asking if you can give me these? If not, I’ll find a way outside."

"Hmm?"

The faces of the four elders changed completely; Ding Fan was too arrogant, as if he was the master and they were the slaves? Even if they were slaves, now that he was asking for help, he shouldn’t be so self-important, should he?

"Of course I can!"

Ye Li blinked and called out, "Third brother, go and fetch seventy-five Wuji Fruits for our master."

"Family Head!"

The Third Elder hesitated, unwilling to leave. Ye Li’s face darkened and said, "What are you waiting for? Don’t hesitate over such a small matter, even if the Saint Lord’s life is at stake, understand?"

"Yes!"

The Third Elder quickly scurried away and soon returned, holding a Space Ring which he handed to Ding Fan. Ding Fan slightly nodded, took the ring, and infused it with True Yuan to sense it. Indeed, it contained seventy-five Wuji Fruits. He stood up and said, "Not bad, alright, Family Head Ye, send me off."

Ye Li nodded, leading Ding Fan out of the council hall. Ding Fan didn’t even glance at the other three elders and walked straight towards the door. However, upon reaching the door he stopped, turned around, and looked at the four elders behind him saying, "What’s the matter, aren’t you going to see me off?"

"Certainly, we must!" freewebnovёl.ƈom

The hearts of the four elders were about to explode with anger, but with Ye Li present, they couldn’t act out, and just followed Ye Li outside.

On the way, Ding Fan said nothing, and the elders of the Ye Family were also silent as they walked toward the teleportation point.

Soon, they arrived beside the teleportation array. Ye Li stopped, and Ding Fan stood on the array’s eye, his gaze sweeping across the four elders whose expressions had turned ugly as he said, "It seems you’re quite unhappy, but it’s just dozens of Wuji Fruits, yet you’re showing me such a sour face?"

"Whoosh~"

The faces of the four changed again, their eyes subtly showing anger. Ye Li coldly glanced over and admonished, "Why aren’t you kneeling yet? Beg the master for forgiveness."

Looking at Ye Li’s icy gaze, the four gritted their teeth, their faces flushed, and knelt down, saying to Ding Fan, "Master, please forgive us."

"Hmmph!"

Ding Fan remained indifferent, saying to them, "Remember! I am your master. Whether your two families can return to the ancestral land and regain past glory depends on me. Don’t talk about taking anything from you, even if I ask you to die, you must do so without hesitation, understand?"

The four lowered their heads, gritting their teeth in anger but saying, "Understood!"

"Very good!" Ding Fan nodded slightly and said, "Activate the teleportation array."

"Safe travels, Master."

Ye Li nodded, using True Yuan to open the teleportation array, and Ding Fan vanished into the otherworld.

"He’s too much, this guy is too much!"

As soon as Ding Fan left, the four elders stood up in awe, looking at Ye Li angrily saying, "Family Head, this kid is too much, can you be sure this kind of master will lead us back to our ancestral land?"

"Family Head!"

The other three looked at Ye Li, whose expression was equally troubled. Ye Li was silent for a moment, then said, "I’ve said before, his name is Ding Fan, he possesses the Beast Bone Pendant and the Sirius inheritance, he is our master. You must not doubt him, but he really was a bit off this time, he shouldn’t be this kind of person."

"No?"

The four elders said angrily, "Is it someone else who made us kneel? Taking our Spiritual Materials worth billions, so domineering, almost treating us like we’re not human, such a master, we don’t need!"

"Silence!"

Ye Li roared, "No matter who he is, he is our master. For the future of our two families, don’t feel wronged; even if he asked me to die, I would not hesitate."

The four elders fell silent, though anger filled their hearts, they said nothing.

As Ye Li and the four were about to return, the teleportation array suddenly lit up again, and after a moment, a smiling young man appeared in the array. Who else could it be but Ding Fan?

"Why?"

The five looked at Ding Fan’s amiable face, it seemed like he was a different person now compared to just before.

Ding Fan stepped out of the teleportation array and bowed deeply to the four, "Elders, Ding Fan has offended earlier, please don’t take it to heart."

Ye Li didn’t understand Ding Fan’s meaning and asked hesitantly, "Master, what’s going on?"

Ding Fan grinned and said to everyone, "Nothing happened, I was just joking with you. I’ll return these Wuji Fruits to you. By the way, I have some gifts for you."

Ding Fan handed the ring containing the Wuji Fruits to Ye Li, then took out six Jade Boxes and handed them over, "These items will be quite helpful to you."

Ye Li, distrustful, opened the Jade Boxes, releasing a fragrant aroma which invigorated the spirits of the five.

Ye Li glanced at the Spiritual Materials inside, his body trembling violently, exclaiming in shock, "Golden Dragon Branch?"

"What?"

The four elders were frightened and immediately gathered around, glancing at the golden dragon-shaped Spirit Grass inside. The eyes of the four men instantly shone with endless light, as if four old bachelors had seen a beautiful woman, unadorned by even a thread of clothing.

They had been stuck at the Fifth Level Peak of the Divine Realm for many years, unable to break through, unable to step into the outside world, precisely because they lacked the Golden Dragon Branch and two other types of Spiritual Materials.

It’s not just them! Many of their elders died because this alternate world lacked these Spiritual Materials, and no one had ever broken through this realm.

Today, when a living Golden Dragon Branch appeared before them, Ye Li had a sixty percent chance of breaking through to the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm. If they could find the other two types of Spiritual Materials, the chances would increase to ninety percent.

"Yes, it’s the Golden Dragon Branch. There are six in total, all for you."

Ding Fan laughed, as if handing out something worth fifty or sixty billion was nothing more than giving away a few ordinary Spiritual Medicines.

"Hiss~"

The five men gasped, Ye Li quickly opened the remaining jade boxes, and all five saw the same Golden Dragon Branch, trembling with excitement.

Ding Fan had just taken nearly forty billion worth of Limitless Fruit, then returned, not only returning the previous Spiritual Materials but gifting them fifty to sixty billion worth of Golden Dragon Branches?

Dozens of billions in Black Obsidian were secondary; the most important thing was that this item was not available on the market.

Ye Li previously didn’t let Ding Fan take the Limitless Fruit to trade for the Golden Dragon Branch, partly because Ding Fan was too weak and might get hurt. Secondly, Ye Li understood that the Northern Wastelands were just a small place, likely unable to acquire a Golden Dragon Branch for a hundred years; it was simply unpurchasable there. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Ye Li intended to wait for Ding Fan to grow stronger, at least reaching the Fourth Level Realm or the Fifth Level of the Divine Realm, before going to places like Tongzhou or the Central Plains to exchange for a Golden Dragon Branch.

But unexpectedly, in a short period, Ding Fan entered with six Golden Dragon Branches.

The excitement in the hearts of the five can be imagined; with these six Golden Dragon Branches, at least two among them could break through to the Sixth Level Realm of the Divine Realm. If the other two Spiritual Materials were acquired, perhaps all five could break through.

"Whew..."

Ye Li let out a long breath, quickly closed the jade box, and then heavily knelt down, and the other four elders did the same.

Ye Li said with a choked voice, "The master’s grace, the Ye clan shall never forget. The Ye Family will pledge allegiance to you for generations."

The smile on Ding Fan’s face froze. Ye Li’s words were too heavy; though the Ye Family could easily muster tens of billions in Black Obsidian, just because Ding Fan gifted them six Golden Dragon Branches, Ye Li pledged so deeply?

In fact, Ding Fan did not understand that Ye Li valued not just these six Golden Dragon Branches, but treasured Ding Fan himself.

At this moment, Ye Li and the four elders had wholeheartedly accepted Ding Fan as master. Ding Fan might not have immense wealth with his current realm, yet he gave them fifty to sixty billion worth of Spiritual Materials without batting an eye.

This made Ye Li and the others feel that Ding Fan’s mindset was incomparable to ordinary people, so how could someone’s future achievements be low? Coupled with the inscriptions from the Ancestral Stele, how could Ding Fan not inspire undying loyalty?

Reflecting on Ding Fan’s previous actions, Ye Li and the four elders realized the intention behind them: evidently, Ding Fan was testing them.

If Ye Li hadn’t handed Ding Fan the nearly forty billion worth Limitless Fruit, and the elders hadn’t knelt, Ding Fan might not have trusted them, and giving them the six Golden Dragon Branches wouldn’t have been so easy.

They did not blame Ding Fan; rather, they believed what Ding Fan did was correct—without testing, casually handing out Golden Dragon Branches would make Ding Fan a fool unworthy of following.

"Get up; there’s no need to be so formal with one of your own."

Ding Fan helped the five people up. He truly wanted to test Ye Li and the others, and since they had successfully passed, he completely trusted them and considered them his own.

Ye Li and the others rose, unceremoniously placing the six jade boxes into their Space Rings, then asked Ding Fan, "Master, how did you obtain these Golden Dragon Branches?"

"From the Night Wolf Emperor’s tomb."

Ding Fan replied openly, "Not long ago, I entered the Night Wolf Emperor’s Imperial Tomb, happened upon a Space Ring, and found some Spiritual Materials inside. I figured you needed them, so I brought the Golden Dragon Branches to give to you."

"No wonder."

The figure of the Night Wolf Emperor, Ye Li and the others had heard of; he was the ruler who unified the Northern Wastelands ten thousand years ago. The Imperial Tomb containing such Spiritual Materials made good sense.

After a pause, Ding Fan said, "By the way, you mentioned needing several Spiritual Medicines to break through to the Sixth Level of the Divine Realm. Which ones are you missing? I can check if I have them."

Having full confidence in Ye Li and the others now, Ding Fan wished to help them as much as he could, enabling them to freely enter and exit this alternate world.

This would ensure his safety, and moreover, he could take Ye Li to the Central Plains to seek the Sirius Clan and search for Xia Mengqing in Tongzhou.

These rare Spiritual Materials might not mean much to him now but bear immense significance for Ye Li and the others.

As Ye Li and the others regarded him as their master, their strength meant his strength, and it was certain Ding Fan would assist them to the best of his ability.

Furthermore, returning to the family of the Sirius Clan in the Central Plains, acquiring a Golden Dragon Branch should be quite simple for Ding Fan, right?

The Sirius Clan, the most powerful martial family in the Central Plains, with the old Sirius still existing at the Ninth Level of the Divine Realm, was profoundly robust; it’s estimated that Golden Dragon Branches might not even be a concern for them.

After contemplating, Ye Li honestly stated, "We’re still missing Phoenix Leaf and Sea Bear Gallbladders, just those two Spiritual Materials."

"Oh?"

Ding Fan’s face blossomed into a radiant smile as he said, "Do I really have such good fortune? I have them here, though not in large quantities—only two Phoenix Leaves and three Sea Bear Gallbladders. I’ll give them all to you."
