Top-tier Unruly Master-Chapter 1767 - 1804: The Mysterious Little Pill

At this moment, Ding Fan didn’t have time to bother with Cheng Xu’s thoughts. His Divine Sense was released, instantly enveloping countless surrounding trees of different sizes. In front of Ding Fan, clear light and shadows appeared, and clusters of lush green trees passed before his eyes.

"Senior Ding, what are you..."

At this moment, the eyes of the numerous elders around were filled with concern as they looked at Ding Fan. To be honest, the condition that had just appeared on Ding Fan was something they had never seen before. Now that Ding Fan was silent, they didn’t know what to do for a while.

After some investigation, Ding Fan discovered that there was a strange energy within the Gloomy Sky Mountain Range, which greatly restricted their Divine Sense. With his enhanced ability, Ding Fan could increase the sensing range, but even so, he couldn’t excessively probe the surroundings.

"This Gloomy Sky Mountain Range is indeed bizarre..."

After murmuring a few words, Ding Fan slowly opened his eyes. Seeing the astonished gazes around him, his expression showed confusion.

"What are you all..."

The elders around exchanged glances, and after cautiously observing Ding Fan’s expression, one of them spoke carefully:

"Senior Ding, are you alright?"

Ding Fan glanced at them with some irritation before speaking slowly:

"What could happen to me? A rush of spiritual power from that Blue Gemstone suddenly surged into my body, catching me off guard. My mental power has greatly increased, allowing me to extend my probing range to fifty meters."

The elders were shocked by Ding Fan’s words. They had just used their own Divine Sense to probe, managing only a few meters, yet Ding Fan had extended that range to fifty meters, which was astonishing.

"Senior Ding truly deserves to be the elder brother of the Lake Master; such Divine Sense is truly admirable to us."

"Senior Ding is indeed formidable. Now with Senior Ding’s Divine Sense extending to fifty meters, it surely provides an additional assurance of our safety."

"Indeed, indeed, the Gloomy Sky Mountain Range is too strange. Ever since entering it, I’ve felt uneasy all over."

Excitement appeared on the faces of the surrounding elders. Initially, this exploration was led by Ding Fan. Now that they had entered the Gloomy Sky Mountain Range, the Wild Wolf Gang’s territory, nobody felt confident about what would happen next.

At this moment, Ding Fan’s gain of such an ability was truly a lifesaving measure.

Ding Fan paused for a moment, then a serious expression flashed across his face as he said solemnly to the surrounding elders:

"Don’t let your guard down. From my recent investigation, I discovered that there are indeed many dangers in the Gloomy Sky Mountain Range, including powerful Yuan Beasts, not to mention the Wild Wolf Gang members hiding within the mountain range."

The elders quieted instantly upon hearing Ding Fan’s words. Ding Fan was right; they were surrounded by strong enemies. Even if they were hidden in the dark, after all, this was the Wild Wolf Gang’s territory, and nobody could ensure what would happen next.

"You! Come here."

At this moment, Ding Fan’s eyes shifted, and an intense aura emanated from his body as he pointed at Cheng Xu, speaking in a stern voice.

"Ah? Senior, what do you need from this humble one?"

Cheng Xu trembled and took small steps toward Ding Fan, speaking very respectfully.

Ding Fan slightly curled his lips, pointing towards the dense forest ahead:

"Does your Wild Wolf Gang usually use this gemstone to enter and leave the Gloomy Sky Mountain Range freely?"

Cheng Xu’s eyes shifted, then he cautiously replied:

"Yes, Senior, our Wild Wolf Gang uses the Blue Gemstone to explore the surroundings and safely enter and exit the Gloomy Sky Mountain Range."

Hearing Cheng Xu’s words, a glint of intelligence flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, and an imposing aura emanated from his body. With a slight flick of his finger, a burst of fiery True Qi shot out from Ding Fan’s fingertip.

"Ah..."

Cheng Xu screamed as a deep bleeding wound instantly appeared on his thigh. Ding Fan’s Finger Wind penetrated Cheng Xu’s thigh in an instant, causing unstoppable blood to gush out from it.

"Senior, why did you hit me? I really know nothing, please spare me!"

Cheng Xu’s face was full of pain; his eyes filled with grievance as he looked at Ding Fan, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Yet Ding Fan’s eyes remained cold as he looked at Cheng Xu. Curling his lips, he spoke in a terrifyingly cold voice:

"Hmph! You still claim ignorance? You think my Divine Sense expanded for nothing just now?"

At that moment, an imposing aura was instantly released from Ding Fan’s body, and the elders of the Thirty-six Caves standing around him looked at Ding Fan with confusion, having no idea what Ding Fan was doing or why he suddenly attacked Cheng Xu.

"Through my Divine Sense earlier, I discovered that in this Gloomy Sky Mountain Range, not only is there a misty environment, but many powerful Yuan Beasts also surround us. These Yuan Beasts are extraordinarily strong, and Grade Nine ones are not few in numbers. Even for us, evading them is not an easy task, let alone you."

At this moment, Ding Fan’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and a menacing aura was instantly released from his body, with his gaze towards Cheng Xu burning with intense anger.

Cheng Xu couldn’t help but shiver all over upon hearing Ding Fan’s words. The truth was, he indeed hid some facts. The Gloomy Sky Mountain Range is far more than it seems; not only does it harbor numerous Yuan Beasts, but the Wild Wolf Gang has also laid numerous traps throughout the forest.

"Se... Senior, how did you know? Indeed, many powerful Yuan Beasts reside in this Gloomy Sky Mountain Range. They aren’t particularly friendly, but our Wild Wolf Gang has unique means to make these Yuan Beasts ignore us completely."

Excited by Cheng Xu’s words, Ding Fan squinted slightly and then asked Cheng Xu in a gentle voice,

"What kind of method makes the surrounding Yuan Beasts ignore you?"

Cheng Xu smirked slightly at this moment, showing a proud expression on his face. He cleared his throat softly and then slowly said to Ding Fan,

"Our gang leader developed a special Medicine Pill, using various Yuan Beast scents, excrement, and fur. This pill has no grade but can hide our aura, making the Yuan Beasts think we are one of them."

Ding Fan was taken aback by Cheng Xu’s words, never expecting the Wild Wolf Gang’s leader to be such an unusual person. Instead of researching Medicine Pills that enhance a cultivator’s True Qi, he exerted significant effort to create a pill that hides aura and simulates Yuan Beast aura.

"There’s such a thing?"

At this moment, Ding Fan raised an eyebrow and looked at Cheng Xu with a sly smile. For Ding Fan and his companions, such a pill was extremely suitable for their current predicament.

The dangers in the Gloomy Sky Mountain Range were numerous. A slight mistake could lead to an attack by powerful Yuan Beasts, and worse still, it could attract the attention of the Wild Wolf Gang. With their limited manpower and Power, Ding Fan and his companions were no match for the Wild Wolf Gang members.

So this pill mentioned by Cheng Xu was very fitting. With that in mind, Ding Fan’s eyes lit up with a desire as he looked at Cheng Xu.

"Do you have any more of those pills on you?"

Ding Fan’s voice was exceptionally soft, almost making one feel drowsy just listening to it. Cheng Xu felt the same, looking at Ding Fan’s gentle smile, which drew him in without realizing it.

"Y... yes, Senior. I have two of those pills left, but they only work for half a stick of incense’s time. If it exceeds that, the pill loses its effect!"

Upon hearing Cheng Xu, Ding Fan’s lips curled into a peculiar smile, fully knowing in his heart that this pill had certain limitations, which was already in Ding Fan’s expectations. In this world, nothing is perfect, a sentiment Ding Fan, being an alchemist, deeply related to.

"Hand over those pills to me!"

With that, Ding Fan extended his hand towards Cheng Xu, who seemed dazed, woodenly taking out two dark brown pills from his bosom. A pungent odor emanated from them.

Ding Fan took the pills, fiddled with them for a moment, and was about to swallow them. Watching this scene, the elders around were filled with horror, knowing the pills came from Cheng Xu’s hand, no one dared guarantee that they were truly the ones that could hide aura.

"Senior Ding, don’t! Be careful; it might be a trick!"

"Senior Ding, you must be cautious! Cheng Xu is from the Wild Wolf Gang; who knows what kind of thing he’s handing you!"

"Indeed, Senior Ding, should anything happen to you, we wouldn’t be able to bear the responsibility!"

Observing Ding Fan about to ingest the pills from Cheng Xu, the surrounding elders shouted in urgency, trying to stop him.

However, Ding Fan’s lips curled into a strange smile, raised an eyebrow, and then swallowed the foul-smelling pill.

"Senior Ding! Be careful!"

Seeing Ding Fan ingest the black-brown pill, the elders became even more anxious, surrounding him with caution, fearing anything might happen to Ding Fan.

At this moment, Ding Fan’s mouth curled into a grin, a playful expression flashing across his face, and then spoke to everyone around in a relaxed manner,

"See! I’m just fine!"

Saying so, Ding Fan moved his body twice to indicate that he was alright.

As Ding Fan moved his body, the surrounding elders widened their eyes, disbelief written all over their faces, as if something unbelievable had just happened.

"How could this be?!"
