Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1525 - 1562: Departure
Ding Fan refined the medicine pills and immediately instructed Wang Hu to make arrangements.
At this moment, all the elders of the Dayang Sect and the outer sect disciples who had already reached the Late Nascent Soul Stage were extremely excited, anticipating the arrival of supreme quality medicine pills. How could they not be excited?
Soon, Wang Hu obtained the medicine pills from Ding Fan. Looking at the bottles of supreme quality medicine pills, he was utterly shocked. Logically, even a Grade Nine Alchemist wouldn’t have a one hundred percent success rate in refining supreme quality medicine pills. However, Big Brother achieved a one hundred percent success rate, which was simply unbelievable!
"Big Brother!"
Wang Hu was momentarily at a loss for words, and in the end, he sincerely gave a thumbs-up to Big Brother. His admiration for him was beyond words. Initially, Wang Hu thought that even as a Grade Nine Alchemist, Big Brother couldn’t have refined three hundred supreme quality medicine pills in just three days!
But Big Brother did it precisely on time, which left Wang Hu absolutely astonished. It’s important to understand that Big Brother could now mass-produce supreme quality medicine pills, something unprecedented in the Cultivation World. Even a single supreme quality medicine pill could be invaluable.
Wang Hu even admired him to the extent of feeling powerless, thinking that Big Brother earned money faster than a Spirit Vein. These three hundred supreme quality medicine pills could be sold for the entire foundational wealth of some sects.
Ding Fan noticed Wang Hu’s shocked expression, and he smiled indifferently before waving him away. Over the past three days, Ding Fan had been refining pills without rest, depleting all his Divine Vigor. On the last day, he even had to take a few pills that enhanced Divine Vigor.
Ding Fan knew that such pill refinement couldn’t be done frequently, as it was too taxing on him. It consumed more Divine Vigor than fighting a Spirit Severing Stage cultivator for three days and nights. Watching Wang Hu leave, Ding Fan could only sigh helplessly.
For now, the idea of using pills to improve the sect’s strength had to be put on hold. However, the pills Ding Fan refined and those Wang Hu acquired were enough to support the sect’s rapid development and improvement for half a year. The timeframe for distributing the pills to disciples was six months, but Ding Fan estimated that for the sect’s disciples to fully absorb the medicinal effects of these pills would take at least a year.
Even the elders of the sect, who took superior supreme quality medicine pills, would need a longer time to digest them.
Then, Ding Fan began his true closed-door cultivation. He understood that to make the sect more powerful, he himself needed to become stronger.
...
Over three or four days, all Dayang Sect disciples, both elders and ordinary disciples, were fully immersed in their cultivation state, as was Ding Fan. After three days of closed-door cultivation, he was back at his peak state, and his cultivation had made significant progress.
Although Ding Fan was currently at Nascent Soul Mid Stage, he could clearly feel that he was on the verge of a breakthrough. However, he hoped for a breakthrough that, like the previous one, would come naturally, and so, he was not in a rush. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
In the conference hall.
Ding Fan sat at the head seat, looking at everyone present with satisfaction. Wang Hu had already broken through to the Spirit Severing Stage, and there were three other middle-aged elders who had also reached the Spirit Severing Stage. The others, who were originally at Nascent Soul Mid Stage, had progressed to Nascent Soul Late Stage. At the moment, the lowest level of cultivation among the elders present was Nascent Soul Mid Stage.
Everyone was inspecting each other with shock in their hearts, not expecting the sect master’s supreme quality medicine pills to have achieved so much, advancing four elders to the Spirit Severing Stage and significantly improving the rest. Furthermore, looking at Ding Fan, everyone could clearly sense a dramatic change in his aura.
It was no surprise that the sect master could use supreme quality medicine pills; his progress was only to be expected.
What they didn’t know was that Ding Fan hadn’t used a single supreme quality medicine pill since he started closed-door cultivation. This was related to Ding Fan’s pursuits; he wasn’t very fond of relying on pills for cultivation. After all, an achievement built on external aids might have an unstable foundation. Ding Fan’s goal was not just the Spirit Severing Stage but the Late Tribulation stage. He must make up for the regrets of his past life in this one.
"Now it truly resembles a sect," Ding Fan said with a satisfied and gratified smile as he looked at everyone.
Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, everyone sincerely and gratefully responded in unison:
"Thank you, Sect Leader!"
"Thank you, Sect Leader!"
"..."
Everyone understood in their hearts that the Dayang Sect had undergone a complete transformation. Although it had only been a week, four Spirit Severing Elders had emerged, which was on par with a typical Great Gate Sect. All of this was thanks to Sect Leader Ding Fan. Without the Supreme Quality Medicine Pills provided by him, it would have been impossible for everyone to elevate their cultivation so significantly in such a short time!
"There’s no need to thank me, the Dayang Sect belongs to us all. As we enhance our cultivation, the sect will surely grow stronger. However, I don’t recommend relying too much on pills to advance your cultivation, as this can lead to an unstable foundation. But for now, the circumstances compel us. Once we find a suitable place to settle, everyone can consolidate their cultivation properly."
After Ding Fan spoke, everyone nodded in agreement. They understood that the current difficulties faced by the Dayang Sect were a formidable test. Although the sect now had four cultivators at the Spirit Severing Stage, they were still not a match for the Wild Wolf Gang. The sect could only avoid direct confrontation and seek development in secrecy.
Ding Fan took out several bottles of pills and said to everyone:
"These are pills to conceal your cultivation. Distribute them to all the sect’s disciples for consumption; we will begin the relocation today."
Hearing Ding Fan’s words, Wang Hu immediately responded, "Yes!"
With everything prepared, the Dayang Sect was divided into three small groups, each with about a hundred people. All the disciples consumed the pills to conceal their cultivation. As Ding Fan looked out, the disciples appeared no different from ordinary people. Yet, when he swept them with his Divine Sense, he noticed their cultivation had improved significantly.
Using Divine Sense, most cultivators had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, with hardly any below the Early Nascent Soul Stage. Ding Fan was quite pleased with this. It seemed his pills hadn’t gone to waste, as everyone had made significant progress. Even though Ding Fan was satisfied, the result was still short of his ideal. The sect currently had only a little over three hundred members. According to his plan, this number should all be Inner Sect Disciples, which was still few. To restore the Dayang Sect’s former glory, at least six hundred Inner Sect Disciples were needed.
Ding Fan planned that to revive the Dayang Sect’s past glory, there should be at least ten thousand Outer Sect Disciples and a thousand Inner Sect Disciples. The elders should include several Late Spirit Severing Stage cultivators. Yet, Ding Fan wasn’t in a hurry; to achieve this level of development would take years. His immediate plan was to establish a foothold in the Cultivation World within half a year.
To establish a foothold, the sect needed several Mid Spirit Severing Stage elders, and several hundred disciples at the Emergence Stage. Ding Fan was confident in achieving this. Over the next six months, all the sect’s disciples would have plenty of pill resources. Consuming three pills a day was a concept unimaginable to any cultivator, but it became a reality in Ding Fan’s sect.
As for the sect’s elders, Ding Fan had some Supreme Quality Medicine Pills in his possession, which were more than enough to support the elders.
Ding Fan believed that in less than half a year, the Dayang Sect would reach its expected development. Such sect benefits were enticing to any cultivator. Consuming three pills a day was something no sect in the Cultivation World could imagine. Ding Fan understood this treatment was viable only for about half a year due to the sect’s current small scale. Once the Dayang Sect grew to a certain size, maintaining such benefits would be unfeasible.
The presence of Supreme Quality Medicine Pills was considered an important hallmark of Ding Fan’s sect. Likely, no sect in the Cultivation World could offer such benefits. Even though Ding Fan would not frequently refine Supreme Quality Medicine Pills for the sect’s elders and disciples, he knew they would play a role in the reward system. As a Grade Nine Alchemist Sect Leader, this benefit was significant for the sect.
Such a benefit was something no other sect could provide. To retain a Grade Nine Alchemist required immense resources. Whatever a Grade Nine Alchemist desired, the sect would undoubtedly meet their needs, as such an alchemist was invaluable. Having a Grade Nine Alchemist refine Supreme Quality Medicine Pills was resource-intensive and wasn’t something every alchemist could do successfully like Ding Fan.
"Set off!"
Wang Hu shouted, and three small teams disguised as merchant caravans set off at once. Ding Fan, Wang Hu, and a few elders joined the middle group. This way, they could effectively resolve any issues at the front or back. Accompanying the first and last teams were a few elders at the Nascent Soul Late Stage.
They were heading to a place called Yunwu Mountain. Long Ren had invited Ding Fan there a month ago, and Ding Fan couldn’t decline his brother’s invitation. Thus, the entire Dayang Sect moved in that direction. Since they had no suitable places for establishing the sect, they had to proceed cautiously and adapt. Ding Fan was quite familiar with the route to Yunwu Mountain, which mostly featured dense forests and sparse populations—a perfect setting for the Dayang Sect to establish itself.
Before long, Ding Fan’s team had distanced itself from the front and rear teams, spreading out over several kilometers. This was Ding Fan’s strategy. The sect had too many people; even if their cultivation was entirely hidden, they still appeared as ordinary people. If the three teams stayed too close, it would be obvious they were together, and a large caravan would naturally raise suspicions.
