Chapter 717: Chapter 717

Sun Qi looked at Ding Fan with astonishment as he gave Qin Jingguo the Pill, which was a Second Grade Pill.

It should be known that Pills of Second Grade and above were all treasures, and even if you had the money, you might not necessarily find them on the market.

Sun Qi was obsessed with Alchemy, and although he was well-known, he could only refine Second Grade Pills at the highest.

And yet Ding Fan, as soon as he made a move, gave away a Second Grade Pill to someone else.

However, Qin Jingguo didn't hesitate to take Ding Fan's Pill and then directly swallowed it.

Qin Jingguo was also someone who had seen his fair share of ups and downs. Since Ding Fan could rescue him directly from the hands of those evildoers, that alone made Ding Fan very extraordinary.

Moreover, with the earlier Silver Needle Gu Expelling...so Qin Jingguo was convinced that the Pill Ding Fan gave him was certainly no ordinary item.

If Qin Jingguo knew that this Second Grade Pill could cost tens of millions, or even over a hundred million, to buy, and now he had consumed it just like that, he would definitely be astonished to death.

Seeing that Qin Jingguo had swallowed the Pill with relish, Ding Fan asked him to sit down, then activated his True Qi to help Qin Jingguo adjust the medicinal properties of the Foundation Building Pill.

Although Qin Jingguo wasn't a cultivator of Cultivation or Martial Cultivation, even a normal person swallowing a Second Grade Foundation Building Pill would reap great benefits, such as conditioning the meridians and strengthening the flesh, which were very good effects.

Now, with Ding Fan using his True Qi to help with the adjustment, so after less than twenty minutes, Qin Jingguo, who originally had a pale face and seemed spiritless, had now recovered his usual demeanor.

"Many thanks, my friend, for your life-saving grace. May I know, young friend, who sent you to find me?" After regaining his spirit, Qin Jingguo politely thanked Ding Fan.

"Dancheng, Old Master Qin..." Ding Fan knew about the grudge between the two, so he didn't say much more, just mentioned these four words.

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Qin Jingguo's expression immediately turned serious.

"You can choose to meet or not to meet, in any case, my promise to him was only to rescue you and nothing more," Ding Fan said indifferently.

Qin Jingguo looked at Ding Fan and then nodded slightly.

"However, there is something I need Old Master Qin's help with," Ding Fan said at this time.

"Are you referring to the mountain character formed by the rainbow of seven colors that day?" Qin Jingguo didn't wait for Ding Fan to speak but had already guessed it.

Ding Fan nodded, not concealing anything. "That mountain character formed by the seven-colored rainbow is very important to me. I hope Old Master Qin can tell me about it."

Qin Jingguo smiled faintly. "If it weren't for you, I would have lost my life, so telling you about this is nothing much."

Then, Qin Jingguo carefully recounted the incident when he first saw the seven-colored rainbow.

Back then, the army that Qin Jingguo was with was in retreat, and to preserve more manpower, he led his troops directly into this jungle.

One day, after a rainfall, when the sunlight shone down, a very strange phenomenon appeared in the sky above the jungle, which was a rainbow. Updates are released by 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩

The rainbows were different from the usual ones; they formed a character.

Upon close examination, Old Master Qin recognized it as the character for "mountain."

Many years had passed, and Old Master Qin always thought it was an astronomical spectacle. Later, when writing his memoirs, Old Master Qin included the rainbow he saw in the Haijiao Jungle.

"So Old Master Qin, can you still roughly remember the location of that rainbow?" After listening to Old Master Qin's account, Ding Fan asked.

Old Master Qin looked around, too much time had passed, and after so many years, this place had changed so much that he could no longer find that spot.

It made sense; after so many years, at least four or five decades, many changes had occurred here, making it indeed difficult to find once again.

"Old Master Qin, this jungle is still very dangerous, so how about having Sun Qi take you to Zhangzhou to wait? I still have some things to take care of here, and after I've finished up, I'll go to Zhangzhou to find you," said Ding Fan.

Since Haijiao experienced strange phenomena, the interior of Haijiao had become quite chaotic, and Ding Fan himself had been captured for forced labor by Lady Fang, so it was even more dangerous for Old Master Qin to stay here.

Therefore, Ding Fan planned to have Sun Qi take Old Master Qin to Zhangzhou first, as Zhangzhou was the nearest city from here. Afterwards, once things were settled here, Ding Fan could still go to Zhangzhou to find Old Master Qin.

Whether Qin Jingguo would meet Old Master Qin or not was another matter to be addressed in due time.

Regarding Ding Fan's suggestion, Qin Jingguo had no objections. Having been led by those villains into the jungle these past days, Qin Jingguo had suffered quite a bit.

Now, what Qin Jingguo most wanted to do was to take a hot bath and then enjoy a good steak...

Since everything had been discussed, the matter was settled. Since it was already dark, Ding Fan and his companions decided to rest in a cave for the night and have Sun Qi take Qin Jingguo to Zhangzhou the next day.

Without delay, Ding Fan cleaned up the battlefield. After keeping some materials taken from the four men, he then cast out a Fireball, burning their bodies to ashes cleanly.

After that, Ding Fan prepared some food, and after the three of them ate, with nothing else to do, they all went to sleep.

The night passed without words, and at the break of dawn the next day, Sun Qi had already left with Qin Jingguo.

Although Ding Fan didn't get any specific information from Qin Jingguo, he now knew that the mountain character was not a geographic feature but must be the mountain character outlined by the rainbows.

But Ding Fan was puzzled as to why a mountain character would appear in a rainbow. Perhaps it was some kind of barrier, or, could it be some kind of Formation?

After a long time of contemplation, Ding Fan still couldn't figure it out.

Now that he understood what the mountain character was about, Ding Fan no longer hurried back and forth searching for it. He was simply waiting for a rainy day, for when the rainbow would appear afterward. Then, soaring through the sky with Sword Control, he would search for the location of that mountain character.

After Sun Qi and Qin Jingguo left, Ding Fan didn't do anything else; instead, he sat down to meditate and run his True Qi. Having suddenly ascended by two grades, Ding Fan naturally understood the principle that haste makes waste, so what he needed to do now was to stabilize his current level of cultivation.

He spent the whole day inside the cave, quietly cultivating in peace.

The next day, Ding Fan felt that the aura within his body was very stable. Only then did he come out of the cave again.

Just at that moment, a white shadow suddenly darted past in front of Ding Fan.

Ding Fan was startled; the white shadow moved very swiftly. By the time his Divine Sense probed out, the white shadow had already darted far away.

That white shadow must have been a spiritual beast. Judging by its speed, its Grade Level was not low.

Following the passage of the white shadow, two figures suddenly dashed past Ding Fan.

The movements of the two people weren't slow, and from the direction they were chasing, it seemed they were after the white shadow.

However, Ding Fan didn't believe those two could catch up. The speed of the spiritual beast was such that even an Earth Level Peak martial artist would find it difficult to capture, let alone two shadows barely at the early stage of Earth Level; it was simply impossible to catch that white shadow.

Ding Fan watched the direction in which the two people disappeared, shaking his head for a while.

The jungle of Haijiao had really become lively now; even these lower-level martial artists wanted to wade into these troubled waters.

Ding Fan didn't care about those who had just tried to capture the white shadow and continued on his way, but not long after he'd set off, the two people who'd chased the white shadow returned.

"Stop right there!" The two people actually stopped Ding Fan.

Ding Fan was taken aback; he hadn't expected that the two would come back to find him.

Ding Fan sized up the two people, a man and a woman. Both were around forty years old. They looked like a couple.

"What's the matter?" Ding Fan asked indifferently.

"Just now, a pair of spirit foxes passed by, why didn't you help us intercept them?" At this point, the woman among the two people spoke very rudely to Ding Fan.

Ding Fan was stunned; he wondered if he had misheard. It was none of his business that you couldn't catch the spirit fox. You failed to catch it, and now you come for me?

At that moment, the man accompanying her was even more aggressive. "You let go of our spirit fox, so from now on, you are our servant until you catch that spirit fox. Only then can you leave."

Ding Fan didn't even bother to acknowledge the words of the two; they were taking out their frustration on him for not catching the spirit fox, seeing him as young and trying to turn him into a laborer...

Just then, another five or six figures hurried over. The cultivation levels of the newcomers were even worse, each appearing to have not reached Earth Level yet.

"Master, Mistress... Have you caught the spirit fox?" One disciple asked the two.

"Your master's movement technique is unparalleled. If your master claims he's second in speed, no one would dare claim they're the first in the world," the middle-aged woman asserted.

"Mistress, if that's the case, then did we catch the spiritual beast?" The disciples asked in anticipation.

"We didn't catch it, all because of this brat. He delayed us," the middle-aged man said resentfully, glancing at Ding Fan.

His expression was as if he were blaming Ding Fan for holding up his important pursuit.

Ding Fan didn't want to deal with this middle-aged couple any longer. From their conversation, he could tell that the man was clearly showing off and trying to impress his disciples.

"Brat, from now on, you are a servant of the Yelang Sect. When you catch that spirit fox, you can leave," proclaimed the middle-aged man with an air of domineering authority in front of the many disciples.

"Get lost..." Ding Fan said coldly, throwing down the word before turning and walking away.

"Kid, you're too arrogant. You've offended the head of Yelang Sect; do you think you can just walk away?" The middle-aged woman scoffed beside him.

"Today, all of you open your eyes wide and witness just how powerful your master is!" Boasting thus, the middle-aged man's figure flickered as he charged directly towards Ding Fan.

The middle-aged man was convinced that Ding Fan, being so young, couldn't be all that impressive. At twenty-two or twenty-three years of age, no matter how powerful one might be, it couldn't be extent; at most, they would be at the Human Level Peak.

Thus, the middle-aged man intended to use Ding Fan to establish his authority in front of his disciples.

However, just as the middle-aged man was about to reach Ding Fan, a strong surge of True Qi burst forth from Ding Fan.

The middle-aged man didn't even touch Ding Fan when his body was repelled back...
