Chapter 770: Chapter 770
"I can!" Bai Fangqi said firmly.
"Master, what is the success rate?" Sun Qi asked worriedly.
"Fifty percent," Ding Fan said lightly.
To contact Fenggu, it is necessary to stimulate the meridians and pulse the Dantian.
In fact, Ding Fan had to be at least seventy percent sure, but he intentionally reported a lower success rate. This way, he would see whether Bai Fangqi would go through with it...
"Senior, please help me contact Fenggu. Even if there's only a ten percent chance, I must try. I bear the life debts of over a hundred disciples of the Hundred Herbs Sect. Now, more than twenty disciples are waiting for me to rescue them... As long as there's a chance, I am willing to try," Bai Fangqi said earnestly.
At this moment, Ding Fan couldn't help but admire Bai Fangqi.
Now, Bai Fangqi could easily find a place to live in seclusion, ignoring those disciples' lives and either cultivate or immerse himself in nature...
Yet, Bai Fangqi didn't forget his disciples' vengeance, nor the Sect's humiliation... This was indeed rare...
"Alright... I'll help you contact Fenggu," Ding Fan nodded and then turned to Sun Qi.
"You stand guard. No matter what happens, you must ensure no one disturbs us," Ding Fan instructed.
Sun Qi nodded. "Yes, Master. Rest assured."
After giving instructions, Ding Fan directly took out a box of Golden Needles from his storage ring.
At that moment, Duorou and Zizi, the two cute pets, came out. Zizi was helping to sterilize the Golden Needles with the Nine Luminaries Fire, while Duorou stood on Ding Fan's shoulder ready to assist.
"Swallow this," Ding Fan said as he produced a Fourth Grade Pill from his storage ring.
Soon, they would need to misalign Sun Qi's meridians and blast the obstructions with Inner Strength, which was more painful than scraping the bone, hence Ding Fan gave Bai Fangqi a Fourth Grade Pill for protection.
Bai Fangqi's eyes brightened at the sight of the Fourth Grade Pill.
Such a pill, not to mention on the black market, could fetch a sky-high price even at an auction. And yet, Ding Fan was giving it to him just like that.
For a moment, Bai Fangqi admired Ding Fan's magnanimity...
Considering Bai Fangqi was in urgent need of treatment, it would seem quite tacky to be overly polite now. He thus unhesitatingly swallowed the Pill as Ding Fan instructed.
Not long after Bai Fangqi had swallowed the Pill, he immediately felt a warmth in his stomach, followed by breaths circulating non-stop within his body.
"Endure the pain," Ding Fan instructed once more.
"Senior, please!" Bai Fangqi gritted his teeth tightly.
Ding Fan gently supported him with his right hand.
The box containing the Golden Needles unexpectedly opened by itself, and with a gesture of Ding Fan's right hand, all the needles levitated from the box.
"Swift!" Ding Fan suddenly shouted.
The Golden Needles instantly seemed to come to life, darting toward several of Bai Fangqi's major acupoints at once.
Puff puff puff... A series of faint sounds came as the needles accurately struck all of Bai Fangqi's targeted acupoints.
Sun Qi watched, his eyes almost bulging out.
Ding Fan's move was simply too cool; all the Golden Needles rose into the air and even hit the acupoints simultaneously.
Not to mention anything else, just these skills alone were something Sun Qi couldn't achieve. Even looking around the world, there were few who could.
Now, Sun Qi really felt fortunate to have taken Ding Fan as his Master. It was the most wise decision he had made in his life.
Meanwhile, Bai Fangqi's complexion had turned the color of liver, his eyes wide open, filled with blood due to the pain.
His body began to tremble, starting from a slight shiver to an intense one...
"Ah..." Finally, Bai Fangqi couldn't hold back anymore and let out a loud yell.
The pain of having all the acupoints hit simultaneously was beyond what an ordinary person could endure. Being able to bear it for so long before crying out was already quite remarkable for Bai Fangqi.
Ding Fan didn't delay. He swiftly extended two fingers and jabbed Bai Fangqi's Renzhong (Philtrum).
Upon touching the Renzhong, Ding Fan began to continuously channel True Qi into Bai Fangqi's body, helping him unblock the meridians and contact Fenggu.
"Master... Sect Leader is almost at his limit..."
After about three to five minutes, Sun Qi anxiously cried out.
Ding Fan glanced at Bai Fangqi, who now had an ashen face and somewhat lifeless eyes. "We've come this far; if we stop now, all our efforts will be wasted..."
"No... Don't stop, I'll persevere..."
As Bai Fangqi spoke, he bit through his tongue, and blood immediately flowed out.
Following the flow of blood, there seemed to be a renewed sparkle in Bai Fangqi's eyes.
Ding Fan looked approvingly at him.
In this way, his character was indeed worthy of Ding Fan exhausting so much True Qi to help him recover his Inner Strength...
Another ten minutes passed, then Ding Fan's left hand transformed into a palm and heavily struck Bai Fangqi's back.
Bai Fangqi spat out a mouthful of dirty blood.
The dirty blood was sticky and foul-smelling...
With a gesture of Ding Fan's right hand, the Golden Needles that were embedded in Bai Fangqi's body, as if possessing life, were pulled out and flew back into the box.
At that moment, Bai Fangqi also couldn't bear it anymore and lay down.
At one side, Sun Qi walked to Bai Fangqi's side. It was only then that he could clearly see that the Sect Leader's clothes were completely soaked with sweat, which showed how immense the pain Bai Fangqi had endured just now.
"Master, how is the Sect Leader? Has his Inner Strength recovered?" Sun Qi asked worriedly.
Ding Fan nodded. "His Inner Strength has recovered, but his body is very weak now. If he wants to move to save someone, he will have to wait until tomorrow at least."
As for whether they would set out to save someone tomorrow, Sun Qi didn't really care; what he was most concerned about was that the Sect Leader had recovered his cultivation power.
"You take care of him here," Ding Fan said, then pulled out a Fourth Grade Medicine Pill from his chest and handed it to Sun Qi.
Saving people was urgent now, so unnecessary formalities were dispensed with.
Right then, Sun Qi took care of Bai Fangqi by his side.
Ding Fan cleaned up the battlefield.
He checked the body of Zhou Wuji, and from Zhou Wuji, Ding Fan did obtain some useful things.
Zhou Wuji had over three thousand Spirit Stones on him. Besides that, Zhou Wuji also had a Fifth Grade Offensive Artifact.
One must know that the Peach Immortal Sword, which was once considered a treasure by the Peach Blossom Immortal Sect, was merely a Fifth Grade Offensive Artifact. The Longsword on Zhou Wuji's body could be compared to the Peach Immortal Sword of the Peach Blossom Female Sect.
Although this Fifth Grade Offensive Artifact seemed very impressive, it was of no use to Ding Fan.
Ding Fan's Nine Profound Iron was far superior to that Peach Immortal Sword...
Right then, Ding Fan handed this Fifth Grade Offensive Artifact to Sun Qi.
Sun Qi was Ding Fan's disciple, and giving him this Offensive Artifact was indeed appropriate.
Sun Qi looked at the Fifth Grade Offensive Artifact Ding Fan had given him, feeling very unreal.
If it were someone else, such a treasure of a Fifth Grade Offensive Artifact would definitely have been kept for themselves, or if not kept, it would surely have been exchanged for something useful at the auction house.
Moreover, historically, it has always been disciples paying respect to their masters.
Yet, ever since he followed Ding Fan, Ding Fan had given him treasures and stood up for him. Now, he even gifted him a Fifth Grade Offensive Artifact...
At this moment, Sun Qi silently swore to himself that he would follow Ding Fan wholeheartedly from now on...
Having checked Zhou Wuji and then Guo Ai, Ding Fan found it somewhat nonsensical that Guo Ai had nothing on him, not even a storage ring. Follow current novels on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹⟡𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⟡𝙣𝙚𝙩
At this point, Ding Fan felt a bit sorry for this lackey. After all, you were a lackey once, but you have nothing on you...
This lackey's life was quite miserable indeed...
After collecting the spoils of war, he directly released Duorou.
Duorou used the Nine Luminaries Fire to completely burn the bodies of Zhou Wuji and Guo Ai.
In no time, Sun Qi had arranged some food.
Although Ding Fan's dependence on his master was decreasing, he still ate symbolically.
After eating some food, Bai Fangqi's complexion seemed to improve somewhat; combined with the Medicine Pill Ding Fan had given him, after the meal, Bai Fangqi could already get down to the ground and move around.
After the three had eaten, they chatted about everything under the sun for a while, and then they each rested.
A night without words.
The next morning, the three of them got ready to set off.
Although Bai Fangqi's injuries were not fully healed, they were not too much of an impediment...
Just as the three were about to leave the basement and push open the shop's main door to depart, they realized that there were two people standing at the entrance of the shop.
These two people, one was a little boy, and the other was a woman in her early twenties.
This woman was quite pretty; even when Ding Fan saw her for the first time, he couldn't help but take a few extra glances.
What surprised Ding Fan was that this pretty woman was also an Ancient Martial Warrior, albeit with a low cultivation level, appearing to be only Human Level Fourth or Fifth Grade.
"Even if you're afraid of me, hiding is useless," the pretty woman said without any preamble, and swung her palm directly towards Ding Fan's face.
Ding Fan frowned; this woman was too domineering. She started attacking without asking anything.
Before her palm could reach Ding Fan's face, he quickly grabbed her wrist.
"… let go… let me go!"
The pretty woman, seeing her hand caught by Ding Fan, was stunned. She tried to pull her wrist back.
But to her surprise, no matter how hard she tugged, she couldn't pull her hand free. It felt as if her hand had grown attached to his palm.
"Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else," Sun Qi quickly stepped forward and spoke out.
"How could I possibly recognize the wrong person? You bunch of human traffickers, you scoundrels, I'm telling you, unless you release my parents today, I'm going to fight you all…"
The pretty woman continued to desperately pull back her hand, but regardless of how she tugged, her hand remained in Ding Fan's palm.
"Young lady, you've got the wrong person…"
Ding Fan quickly understood the girl's intention for being there.
This place belonged to Guo Ai; clearly, this girl had come to settle scores with Guo Ai, but ended up mistaking Ding Fan and his companions for others...
"I certainly haven't mistaken anyone..." The woman, being very unreasonable, stretched out a foot and kicked towards Ding Fan's chest.
Ding Fan immediately grabbed the woman's ankle.
For a moment, the scene became somewhat awkward.
Ding Fan was holding the woman's ankle with one hand and her wrist with the other, with the woman's legs split open... Although it did not reveal anything private, the pose made the woman's face turn red like a big apple...
