Top-tier Unruly Master

Chapter 2305: Chapter 2340: Still a Child

"Alright!"

Ding Fan smiled faintly. How could he not guess what Zhong Zhiyong was thinking? He stepped forward, patted Zhong Zhiyong on the shoulder, and said, "Don’t harbor resentment in your heart. Just wait a few months. Xia Mengqing will be back in a few months. If by then my Ancestral Master can come out, that would be the best. A few months from now, I’ll return your freedom to you. If you’re willing, you can come with me. Also... if you two need any Spiritual Materials for cultivation, just tell me directly. As long as they’re not too precious, ordinary Spiritual Materials are no problem."

The higher one’s cultivation Realm, the harder it was to improve. Without the backing of a big clan, the speed of cultivation would be very slow. They probably didn’t have much of the Spiritual Materials needed for cultivation.

Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong’s eyes both lit up. The two of them were not well-off, and even if they had Black Obsidian, there was nowhere to buy Spiritual Materials. They were stuck in the Emperor’s Residence every day; where were they supposed to get Spiritual Materials?

If Ding Fan could provide cultivation resources for the two of them, it would have a tremendous effect on their cultivation, achieving twice the result with half the effort.

Crimson Flame was not polite about it either. He immediately picked up a brush and wrote down some names of Spiritual Materials. Zhong Zhiyong glanced at the list Crimson Flame had written and nodded, saying, "It really is quite comprehensive. If these Spiritual Materials can be provided in two sets, then in the coming year we won’t need to go out. We can just stay here cultivating."

"Good!"

Ding Fan took the list and went out, found a guard at the door, handed over the letter, and said, "Ask the Seventh Elder for two sets of the Spiritual Materials on this list. Tell him I need them for cultivation."

The soldiers glanced at the materials on it and were secretly shocked. This young master Ding Fan sure had a heavy hand. Even at the lowest estimate, these materials would cost nearly five billion Black Obsidian.

Seeing the soldiers standing there in a daze with the list in their hands, Ding Fan couldn’t help getting a bit angry. He glared at them and said, "What’s wrong, why aren’t you hurrying off?"

That soldier put on a bitter face, handed the list back to Ding Fan, and said, "My young master, what you’re asking for isn’t something we can request. How about... you go ask the Seventh Elder yourself?"

Ding Fan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized it himself. Having these soldiers go ask really was making things difficult for them. So he waved his hand and said, "Find someone to lead the way and take me to the Elders’ Council Hall."

Hearing Ding Fan say this, the few soldiers all breathed a sigh of relief. One of them took the initiative to step forward and lead the way toward the Elders’ Council Hall. This time, Ding Fan didn’t act recklessly. He followed the rules, walking behind the soldier toward the Elders’ Council Hall, without presumptuously flying into the air. Besides, with Zhong Zhiyong and Crimson Flame not around, he couldn’t fly anyway.

Leaving the Emperor’s Residence, walking along the streets of the city, Ding Family clansmen could be seen everywhere. In Sirius City, there really were countless experts; a random person you saw on the main street might be a Divine Realm Sixth Level Expert.

The pedestrians on the street also noticed Ding Fan. Many people pointed him out from behind, some gathered together to discuss him, and some, upon seeing Ding Fan, respectfully saluted him and addressed him as Young Master.

Ding Fan appeared very down-to-earth and was very polite to these ordinary clansmen. As long as someone greeted him, he would respond with a smile. This made many clansmen’s jaws drop. Was this still that seemingly vicious young master?

One had to know that Ding Fan’s reputation within the Sirius Clan was quite significant now, and it was for being notorious for his cruelty. Over so many years in the Ding Family, he was the only one who dared make a move in the Elders’ Hall, and even almost killed Yun Haitao right in front of the elders. In the eyes of ordinary clansmen, someone like that was definitely a ferocious character.

They went through streets and alleys, walking for about half an hour before they once again arrived outside the Elders’ Council Hall.

The big hole outside the council hall had already been repaired. At the door stood six Divine Realm Fifth Level soldiers on guard. When they saw Ding Fan approaching, they all immediately tensed up, and one of them swiftly ran inside to report.

Ding Fan smiled lightly and did not rashly barge in. He stood obediently outside and waited. After just a short while, that soldier came back out and said to Ding Fan, "Young Master, the Seventh Elder invites you inside."

"Many thanks!"

Ding Fan walked in with a smile. The six soldiers stared dumbfounded at his back, finding it unbelievable that Ding Fan had actually thanked them. There still weren’t many people in the Elders’ Council Hall. It was likely that if no major event occurred, the Second Elder and the others wouldn’t come here. Usually, only the Seventh Elder handled routine affairs.

Ding Fan walked into the hall, bowed to the Seventh Elder, and said, "Ding Fan greets the Seventh Elder."

"Don’t give me that hollow formality."

The Seventh Elder took a sip of tea, glanced at Ding Fan, and said, "What are you trying to do this time?"

"Heh, heh!"

Ding Fan walked straight over and sat down in front of the Seventh Elder without hesitation. Without being polite, he picked up the tea and took a sip, then handed him a list and said, "Nothing much, just some small matters. Seventh Elder, you also know, I came back borrowing Black Obsidian. If I weren’t really poor, I wouldn’t open my mouth. Please, Seventh Elder, prepare the Spiritual Materials on this list for me. And also... please give me another set of Spiritual Materials for breaking through to the Divine Realm Seventh Level. It would be best if there’s a Golden Dragon Branch."

The Seventh Elder glanced at him and said calmly, "Fanli Leaves, Crimson Eye Powder... you call these ordinary Spiritual Medicine? And you even want a Golden Dragon Branch? Ding Fan, your body is filled with Blood Pond Energy. That is the most precious Miraculous Medicine Pill. Right now, you just need to cultivate diligently. If you want these Spiritual Medicine, they won’t be of much use to you. Don’t waste the clan’s resources."

Ding Fan couldn’t help but speak the truth. He sighed and said, "These are for those two slaves of mine. They’ve followed me through near life-and-death, went through all that trouble to get me back. I can’t break their hearts. And that set of Spiritual Materials for breaking through to the Divine Realm Sixth Level is for my martial aunt. Seventh Elder, I’ve come all the way here myself; give me some face, would you? Otherwise, how will I have the nerve to face them when I go back?"

"How could that be allowed!"

The Seventh Elder looked very calm as he said, "Our clan has its rules, and the family has its difficulties. If everyone were like you, each person coming to open their mouth and ask, then even if the Sirius Clan were big enough, we’d still go bankrupt. You’ve been away from the Ding Family all these years, you don’t understand..."

"Enough. If you’re not giving, then forget it. Why are you spouting so much useless crap?" Ding Fan’s face turned cold. He grabbed the list, stood up, and walked out.

The Seventh Elder was startled by Ding Fan’s attitude. What was this young man going to do now? He hurriedly shouted, "Stop, Ding Fan, what are you planning to do this time?"

"What could I possibly do!" Ding Fan shrugged, turned around, and said to the Seventh Elder, "The Great Elder already promised me that whatever I wanted, he’d give me. Since you’re not giving me anything, I can only go ask him. If he turns out to be all talk, then I’ll tear his castle down..."

"Nonsense!"

The Seventh Elder stood up in a rage. It wasn’t enough that this guy Ding Fan had already caused a huge scene in the Elders’ Council Hall, now he even wanted to go make trouble at the Great Elder’s place.

The Seventh Elder pondered for a moment, then said to Ding Fan with a darkened face, "Give me your list. I’m telling you, this is the only time. There will be no next time. If you keep making a fuss like this, I’ll see to it your Ancestral Master gives you a beating."

The Seventh Elder sent someone to fetch the Spiritual Materials according to the list, but Ding Fan didn’t quite trust him and chose to stay there himself, waiting for news.

After a while, a steward brought all the Spiritual Materials listed, among which there was even a set sufficient for Ding Aoshuang to charge into the Divine Realm Sixth Level. Only then did Ding Fan nod in satisfaction and clasp his hands to the Seventh Elder in thanks.

"All right, I’ve given you everything you wanted."

The Seventh Elder looked at Ding Fan coldly and said to him, "The Blood Pond Energy in your body is extremely precious. That one pool of blood takes countless Spiritual Materials and wealth to condense. Under normal circumstances, that one pool of blood is enough for four or five hundred clan members to absorb. So stop running all over the place these days. Work hard at cultivating. If you keep slacking off, all that energy will just be wasted."

"Mm, I get it. You really are long-winded."

Ding Fan waved his hand and turned to leave, leaving the Seventh Elder alone there, fuming.

When he got back to Wolong Residence, Crimson Flame and Zhong Zhiyong had been waiting outside the whole time for news. From far away Zhong Zhiyong called out, "Young Master, how did it go? Did you get it?"

"Heh, heh, let’s talk inside!"

Ding Fan led the two of them into the main hall. Ding Aoshuang had already taken a nap and gotten up; she was in the hall drinking tea. Seeing Ding Fan walk in with a smug grin, she also smiled and asked him, "Ding Fan, what’s going on? You look very happy."

"Heh, heh."

The Space Ring on Ding Fan’s hand gleamed, and hundreds of Jade Boxes appeared. Ding Fan divided these Jade Boxes into three portions. Pointing at two of the portions, he said to Zhong Suoyong, "These are yours. Take them."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Zhong Zhiyong was overjoyed. He opened a few Jade Boxes and, seeing the Spiritual Materials inside, became even more ecstatic. The Spiritual Materials Ding Fan had obtained for them were enough for more than a year of cultivation. Crimson Flame, in particular, had always been poor; the Spiritual Materials he had previously used for cultivation had all been bestowed by Ding Aohuang. If Ding Fan hadn’t gotten these Spiritual Materials for him, he truly would have had no idea where to get them.

They took those Spiritual Materials and went off. Wolong Residence was in Sirius City itself; no one would come cause trouble, and besides, there were guards outside the courtyard. There was no need for them to keep watch, so the two of them went straight to cultivate.

"This portion is for you. These are all Spiritual Materials for charging into the Divine Realm Sixth Level."

Pointing at the remaining Jade Boxes, Ding Fan said to Ding Aoshuang, "If this attempt to break through doesn’t succeed, I’ll help you go ask for another set. If it does succeed, I’ll help you get the Spiritual Materials for charging into the Divine Realm Seventh Level."

"Mm..."

Ding Aoshuang hadn’t expected Ding Fan to have gotten the cultivation-advancement Spiritual Materials for her as well. To think of it, ever since she married Yun Haitao, she had never cultivated again. Nearly a hundred years had passed, and she had remained stuck in the Divine Realm Fifth Level. She had almost forgotten how to cultivate.

When she was in the Yun family, they hadn’t given her any Spiritual Materials to help her raise her Realm. Her father had gotten into trouble, her older brother was absent, so even when Yun Haitao tormented her and the Ding Family knew about it, they didn’t intervene. Under those circumstances, how could she possibly have gone to the Ding Family to ask for Spiritual Materials?

"These Spiritual Materials, I’d better not take them. Ding Fan, you keep them for your own cultivation. You’re still young, and these Spiritual Materials weren’t easy to come by. Your Martial Aunt is already old; it’s enough just to stay alive. Any further cultivation would just be a waste of these good things."

Ding Aoshuang thought it over, then shook her head and refused. Her Realm was too low—so what if she broke through to the Divine Realm Sixth Level? The Ding Family’s powerhouses were as numerous as the stars in the sky; adding her wouldn’t make any difference. Besides, after all these years of letting things go, she no longer had the drive for cultivation that she once did.

"Wrong. How could my Martial Aunt be old?"

Ding Fan smiled and said, "Martial Aunt, you’ve already reached the Divine Realm Fifth Level Peak Realm. Your lifespan can easily exceed two thousand years. You’re only a little over two hundred now; you still have more than two thousand years to live. Compared to your longevity, you’re still just a child right now."
