Chapter 1106: Chapter 1106
"This kid actually came back alive? That's pretty badass!"
"That Beihou Mountain is currently completely sealed off by the Sect, showing just how dangerous it is inside. To come back unscathed , he must have huge luck!"
"Luck? Don't you think one needs a lot of luck to return? He should be quite capable..."
"Cut it out. Look at him; how could someone with such weak True Qi be an expert?"
For a moment, everyone was talking, looking at Ding Fan with strange and shocked expressions.
Ding Fan didn't mind the surrounding discussions, only looked at the middle-aged man across from him without saying anything, then directly poured five or six Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal cores from his Space Ring onto the table.
Five or six Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal cores suddenly appeared on the table.
The middle-aged steward witnessing this scene was completely dumbfounded, so shocked he couldn't say a word!
How is this possible?
The middle-aged steward casually picked up a Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal core. Upon examination, it indeed was a Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal core!
The other party not only returned unscathed from Beihou Mountain but also killed so many Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts!
This is simply too shocking to believe!
You have to know that a while ago there was a Beast Tide in Beihou Mountain, and almost all cultivators who went there died! Even Nascent Soul Stage experts, or even Emergence Stage cultivators, could only escape when encountering that terrifying Beast Tide!
How could he have killed so many Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts!
Those Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts are equivalent to Nascent Soul Stage cultivators!
The middle-aged steward's eyes, shocked and peculiar, looked at Ding Fan as if looking at a monster!
Seeing Ding Fan take out the Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal cores, the crowd around them suddenly froze. They knew that Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts are equivalent to Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Even if his cultivation is also at the Nascent Soul Stage, how could he kill so many Yuan Beasts considering that Yuan Beasts are much stronger in terms of power than cultivators!
At this moment, the eyes of the people around Ding Fan became somewhat strange. A guy with no True Qi fluctuation on him not only returned safely from Beihou Mountain but also completed the task, and they seemed to recall that the task was to bring back only three Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal cores. But he brought back so many crystal cores!
One must know that for most cultivators, even just a Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal core is very precious. After all, Yuan Beasts reaching this level of cultivation is very rare, and the crystal core is the essence of the Yuan Beast, containing the most energy. If it were an ordinary cultivator, they would definitely keep some more for themselves.
Yet the other party so calmly took them all out, exceeding the task's quantity. How could such a person not be strange! Could it be that he doesn't even care about the Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal cores?
How is this possible!
What they didn't know was that to Ding Fan, these Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal cores indeed meant nothing. Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts are equivalent to Early Nascent Soul Stage cultivators, and reaching this stage as a Yuan Beast is really not easy. However, Ding Fan had already reached the barrier of Late Nascent Soul Stage, and it won't be long before he advances to the Emergence Stage.
Obviously, the Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal cores could no longer satisfy him.
So Ding Fan didn't even consider and brought out all the Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal cores because, although he's completing the task for the Dayang Sect, he'll still receive corresponding contribution points. These contribution points are also important for Dayang Sect disciples, as they can be exchanged for some resources.
The middle-aged steward was so shocked by Ding Fan's Fourth Grade Yuan Beast crystal cores that he couldn't find any fault and ultimately exchanged them for the corresponding contribution points, which totaled five thousand contribution points.
The people around, watching Ding Fan receive five thousand contribution points, were all envious. You have to know that for an average cultivator, even completing a year's worth of missions might not grant them this many points. With these contribution points, most cultivators could exchange them for cultivation manuals of corresponding prices within the Sect.
Ding Fan asked the surrounding disciples which cultivation manuals he could exchange for. However, the result was somewhat unsatisfactory for Ding Fan. Although five thousand contribution points could get him some cultivation techniques, they were only low-level ones, which Ding Fan naturally disdained.
Ding Fan also needed cultivation techniques badly, but those basic techniques indeed didn't catch his eye. He then went to the Sect's Cultivation Technique Hall, and upon entering, he found that even decent techniques required at least tens of thousands of contribution points, with some good ones requiring even hundreds of thousands.
Looking at those rather costly techniques, Ding Fan was very interested, but the points needed were simply too high, and his current points were far too insignificant in comparison.
Ding Fan reviewed the tasks in the Mission Hall; in comparison, his beginner task's contribution points were moderately high, and he saw some highest-level tasks offered tens of thousands of contribution points. Still, Ding Fan knew his current strength was slightly lacking to complete such tasks.
After contemplating, Ding Fan thought relying on tasks to earn contribution points was too slow for him. Ding Fan knew he couldn't be compared to ordinary cultivators, and the most important thing was to quickly find Zhou Ruoran, Gusu Qingwen, and Ye Ningbing.
Thus, he needed to enhance his strength quickly, and now he had to gather resources as fast as he could.
While wandering within the Sect, Ding Fan, although unable to find clues about Zhou Ruoran, Gusu Qingwen, or Ye Ningbing, did find some useful information.
For example, a white-robed disciple mentioned to him that about five thousand kilometers away from the Dayang Sect, there is an ore vein where many cultivators go mining, searching for useful minerals for themselves. After all, Spirit Stones are common within ores and help cultivators absorb Spiritual Energy to enhance their cultivation.
And in the Cultivation World, Spirit Stones can still be used as a form of currency. They are worth much more than ordinary currency like Gold Coins, approximately one Spirit Stone can be exchanged for a hundred Gold Coins.
Whether it's Spirit Stones or Gold Coins, they are very important in the Cultivation World. Having enough currency allows one to trade for Spiritual Materials, Medicine Pills, Cultivation Techniques, and so on...
These are very important resources for cultivators.
But for Ding Fan, these are currently lacking, so Ding Fan decided to make a trip there and try to accumulate some resources. After all, resources are simply too important for a cultivator.
After Ding Fan exchanged some contribution points for healing Medicine Pills, he went straight back to his residence.
At this time, in a well-decorated dormitory of the Dayang Sect, Meng Zihao and Meng Haotian sat facing each other, discussing which beautiful female cultivators they fancied.
At this moment, a disciple in white hurriedly ran in and immediately said to Meng Haotian:
"Captain Meng, that Ding Fan has returned alive, and he also brought back a lot of Fourth Grade Yuan Beast Crystal Cores, completing the mission."
At this time, the somewhat hypocritical-looking young man Meng Haotian almost couldn't hold the teacup in his hand upon hearing the news. Then, with a look of shock, he looked at the white-clothed disciple and asked in surprise:
"Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
The white-clothed disciple nodded and then replied:
"I didn't see it wrong; it was Steward Zhang who told me to inform you."
The Steward Zhang mentioned by the white-clothed disciple was evidently the middle-aged steward who had assigned Ding Fan the special task. At this time, upon hearing the other party's words, the teacup in Meng Haotian's hand fell to the ground with a crash.
"How is that possible?"
Meng Haotian exclaimed in astonishment. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
You should know that the area of Beihou Mountain, the infamous region that the Dayang Sect had completely sealed off due to its numerous dangers, how could he possibly come back alive and even kill so many Fourth Grade Yuan Beasts!
At this time, Meng Zihao, who was beside him, was also very shocked to hear the white-clothed disciple's words. He really couldn't believe that the other party could have survived!
"Cousin, what should we do now?"
After a while, Meng Zihao's face resumed a somewhat sinister and venomous look, clearly feeling uneasy as Ding Fan was not dead, leaving a fury trapped inside.
At this moment, Meng Haotian pondered slightly, then shook his head and said:
"Brother, we need to plan this carefully. This Ding Fan doesn't seem to be that simple; he has managed to escape death so many times!"
Meng Haotian noticed a frown on his brother's face after listening to his words, then continued:
"But don't worry, cousin. I will definitely make sure that guy dies miserably! It's not just for you, he's also pissed me off!"
Meng Haotian said with a face full of malice.
And just then, another young man in white walked in, then whispered something to Meng Haotian, who immediately raged at the white-clothed disciple:
"What did you say? All those brothers were killed?"
The white-clothed disciple weakly nodded when seeing the other party in such a fury.
"Who did it? I can't believe that kid has such power?"
Meng Haotian thought briefly, then asked in anger and doubt.
"It seems to have been Ding Fan..."
The white-clothed disciple replied weakly. This disciple always followed Meng Haotian and knew who Meng Haotian's usual adversaries were, so he knew Ding Fan and had seen Ding Fan and Wang Hu getting along closely when he inquired about those cultivators sent to kill Wang Hu.
After some inquiries, the white-clothed disciple was basically certain that it was Ding Fan who helped Wang Hu kill his group.
Upon hearing the white-clothed disciple's words, Meng Haotian's body shook violently. He could never have imagined it would be him again!
At this moment, he was filled with hatred, yet couldn't do anything. He frowned, constantly pondering something, and inwardly vowed, Ding Fan, wait for me!
I will remember every one of these grudges!
