Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110

Ding Fan watched the scene, a slight cold smile creeping into his heart; the fox's tail was finally showing.

Immediately, Ding Fan seemingly politely took the Medicine Pill, then said calmly:

"Alright, thank you."

Ding Fan took the Medicine Pill in his hand, glanced at it casually, and discovered the trick within.

Although this pill appeared to be a Foundation Building Pill on the outside, Ding Fan instantly noticed a type of Gu Insect within it, one he had seen before: the Heart Controlling Gu. Consuming this type of Gu Insect would subject the consumer entirely to Gao Jian's control; if he wanted you dead, you'd have no choice but to die, leaving you no room for negotiation.

However, for Ding Fan, this wasn't much of a problem. Back on Earth, he was already capable of neutralizing this poison, and now his cultivation had reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage; this poison was merely child's play for him.

Ding Fan knew that in this mine cave, only he could easily neutralize the Heart Controlling Gu Worm, while the others probably weren't so lucky.

At this moment, Gao Jian watched as Ding Fan hesitated with the pill he had given, feeling a chill run through his heart.

Could it be that he has been discovered?

But he immediately dismissed this notion as laughable; the other party showed no signs of cultivation whatsoever, a total waste. How could he possibly see through the Medicine Pill? Not to mention that his specially crafted pill was made by an Alchemy Master—it's not something even a Nascent Soul Stage expert might discern.

Unfortunately, if Gao Jian knew Ding Fan was also an unadulterated Alchemy Master, he would realize how laughable his assumptions were!

Ding Fan then straightforwardly swallowed the Medicine Pill.

He wanted to see this act through and observe just what sinister plans this treacherous fellow was brewing.

Seeing Ding Fan swallow the pill, Wang Hu gave Gao Jian a naïve smile and then said:

With that, Wang Hu also downed the pill.

Gao Jian watched them take the pills, finally feeling relieved, the vicious intent in his eyes becoming more unrestrained.

But when he turned to face everyone else, he became exceedingly warm and generous.

After everyone had taken their pills, they all began to sit down and recover quietly.

Ding Fan glanced at Wang Hu and then said:

"You go ahead and cultivate for a while, regain some strength."

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Wang Hu nodded and then sat down cross-legged to begin cultivating.

Watching Wang Hu's cultivation posture, a trace of seriousness flashed through Ding Fan's eyes. He walked over to Wang Hu's side, and when Wang Hu had cultivated for a short while, Ding Fan enveloped his hand with a light touch of True Qi and gently patted him.

Just after Ding Fan patted Wang Hu, Wang Hu's body felt as if something very active suddenly vanished. If not for that sensation, Wang Hu wouldn't have been aware of the presence of that active thing.

This brief feeling left Wang Hu somewhat bewildered. He then let out a muffled sound, looking at Ding Fan with confusion, asking:

"What's up, Brother Fan?"

Hearing his question, Ding Fan casually shook his head and said:

"Nothing, let's continue."

Wang Hu had some questions due to that feeling, but found himself unable to articulate them. He then agreed, setting aside his doubts, and started picking up a small dagger, beginning to dig at the ore wall with Ding Fan.

The others saw Ding Fan and Wang Hu resuming their excavation of the wall, and their faces couldn't help but show a mocking expression.

"I mean, shouldn't we distribute the Spirit Stones according to contribution after all this digging? Anyone who contributes nothing should be kicked out."

Among them, a tall cultivator glanced at Ding Fan and Wang Hu, then remarked to the group.

"Absolutely! How can anyone expect to gain without contributing?"

The female cultivator remarked sternly.

At this point, upon hearing their discussion, the others began to chatter incessantly.

"An idiot is just an idiot; they won't even grasp a treasure when it's handed to them, truly idiots!"

"Haha, maybe they're digging for big treasures, but all they see is barren dirt!"

"Haha... idiots are so amusing!"

For a moment, everyone chattered away, looking at the demeanor of Ding Fan and Wang Hu with disdain in their hearts. Orıginal content can be found at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦·𝘯𝘦𝘵

At this moment, Gao Jian watched everyone, a faint cold smile appearing in his heart, yet he displayed a facade of benevolence, saying:

"Let's not worry about others anymore and quickly collect the Spirit Stones instead."

After speaking, Gao Jian looked at the piles of Spirit Stones that had been excavated, his eyes involuntarily lighting up, though this gleam vanished quickly without anyone noticing.

Upon hearing Gao Jian, everyone couldn't help but regard him even more highly in their minds. Who would've thought he possessed not only exceptional cultivation, but also a commendable character, slightly lacking only in insight.

What folly brought these fools among them?

The crowd felt that if they knew Ding Fan and Wang Hu were such dim individuals, they wouldn't have invited them.

To think, inviting a more capable person could lead to gathering even more Spirit Stones!

At this moment, a cry of astonishment erupted from Wang Hu's mouth.

"What is this? Brother Fan, come and take a look!"

Wang Hu then excitedly shouted at Ding Fan.

Right now, Ding Fan put down the dagger in his hand, halted his digging, and immediately looked over towards Wang Hu.

Indeed, a bright red stone appeared before Ding Fan and Wang Hu's eyes; by now, Ding Fan had noticed that the dagger held by Wang Hu had snapped into two pieces.

Ding Fan knew that clearly Wang Hu's dagger had struck the bright red stone and been broken!

This is indeed a treasure for artifact refining!

Even if it's used for array refinement, it would be absolutely extraordinary!

Ding Fan looked at the bright red stone and touched it simply by hand, he could basically ascertain.

This is the Red Rock Celestial Stone!

It's known that such Red Rock Celestial Stones are so precious, even a small piece added to artifact refining makes the weapon incredibly sharp. If a cultivator is wounded by such a sharp weapon, it's extremely hard to heal. This shows how astonishing the weapon's lethality becomes with this Red Rock Celestial Stone added!

Even in an average formation, adding this Red Rock Celestial Stone would provide an additional fire attribute attack method.

Knowing that a formation can have an additional attack method is practically defying the heavens, and the amount of Red Rock Celestial Stone required is not much, just a little is enough.

Ding Fan gave a cursory glance at the stone; this piece of Red Rock Celestial Stone cannot be considered small.

At this moment, hearing Wang Hu's cry, everyone rushed towards Ding Fan and Wang Hu. Upon seeing the bright red ore, everyone was utterly shocked!

This is the Red Rock Celestial Stone!

I could actually see such a divine treasure in my lifetime!

This is simply unbelievable!

"This Red Rock Celestial Stone is indeed an incredibly rare treasure; saying its value is immeasurable is absolutely true!"

"Yes, I heard that recently, at an auction, someone used this Red Rock Celestial Stone as the finale auction item! Its final price was astronomical!"

"I didn't expect there would be a piece of Red Rock Celestial Stone here too, it's just too incredible!"

"Just being dug up , I can't quite accept it!"

Everyone was so shocked that they were babbling incoherently!

At this moment, Ding Fan and Wang Hu were already pushed to the back, witnessing the stunned crowd. Wang Hu was elated beyond description.

Previously, when everyone mocked and looked down on them, Wang Hu naturally heard it all, but he trusted Brother Fan. Since Brother Fan said to dig here, it certainly wouldn't be wrong.

Now it turns out Brother Fan was right.

Knowing that this piece of Red Rock Celestial Stone was found, who knows how many times its value surpasses all the Spirit Stones they dug! Even a hundred times may not be enough!

At this moment, the tall man, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but exclaim in shock, feeling embarrassed for his previous disdain towards them.

They aren't fools; they're actually digging up a grand treasure!

And this treasure is indeed massive! Almost dauntingly so, the tall man looked at the bright red Red Rock Celestial Stone, realizing this was just the tip of the iceberg.

No one knows how big it is inside, but from what is visible, it's clear that the stone inside must be huge.

At this moment, the female cultivator was also speechless, glancing back at Ding Fan with more than shock—she was ashamed of her earlier remarks.

The most shocked of them all was definitely Gao Jian. Seeing the Red Rock Celestial Stone felt as if it were already his, knowing that he had never encountered such a treasure in his lifetime!

Thinking of his perfect plan made him excited beyond measure, truly admiring himself.

Seeing Gao Jian's exaggerated expression, everyone felt a bit strange; he seemed far too excited, almost ready to dance with joy!

Realizing everyone was looking at him oddly, Gao Jian remembered there's still time to dig more Spirit Stones since it's still early, he then quickly regained his composure and somewhat apologetically said:

"Sorry for the spectacle; this truly is a significant treasure, let's continue digging Spirit Stones."

Upon hearing him, everyone didn't say much, agreeing that he had a point, yet lacked the motivation to dig for those worthless Spirit Stones.

The female cultivator approached Ding Fan, apologizing:

"Friend, we misunderstood you earlier, sorry about that."

Hearing her, Ding Fan felt a hint of sneer but then calmly replied:

"It's okay, let's carry on."

Her impression of Ding Fan slightly improved.

Yet, surrounding folks looked at Ding Fan without the amicability of the female cultivator, seemingly pondering something. After all, encountering such a treasure, few can remain indifferent!
