Everyone was stunned to see Ding Fan so casually using a dagger to clean out the crystal core of the Colorful Python.
You must know that was a Fourth Grade Peak Colorful Python!
At this mont, not only did he easily kill it, but he also acted like it was nothing, and effortlessly began extracting the Yuan Beast's crystal core.
This is a bit too calm!
Seeing this scene, everyone was astonished.
It seed they began to doubt whether Ding Fan was even human. If he were human, how could he be so unruffled!
Shouldn't he take a mont to rest?
But now that they thought about it, it seed that when he killed the Fourth Grade Peak Yuan Beast, it looked quite easy for him.
With Wang Hu's help, Ding Fan finally extracted a fist-sized crystal core. The core was multicolored, not very bright but clearly not a mundane object.
After all, that Fourth Grade Peak Yuan Beast was equivalent to a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator, which is already quite a rare and accomplished feat.
The essence of the Colorful Python was all in this crystal core, making it an invaluable treasure.
Although it couldn't compare to the Red Rock Celestial Stone, it was still extrely rare. You must know, in the Cultivation World, how many people's cultivation could handle such a creature? Very few.
Seeing Ding Fan take out that multicolored crystal core now, everyone couldn't help but feel envious. Such a crystal core from a Fourth Grade Peak Yuan Beast was sothing every cultivator here longed for.
But as they watched Ding Fan take it out and pocket it, no one dared utter a word of objection.
After all, the Yuan Beast was killed by his strength alone, and him taking the crystal core was entirely reasonable. They were envious, but they didn't dare to act rashly without a justifiable reason.
But at this mont, everyone's gaze towards Ding Fan beca fervent.
Ding Fan paid no attention to the people's expressions and coolly put away the Colorful Python's crystal core, then casually said to Wang Hu:
"Take that Red Rock Celestial Stone, and let's go."
Hearing Ding Fan's words, Wang Hu imdiately picked up the Red Rock Celestial Stone. Although it was a sizable chunk, it was not a problem for Wang Hu, who was in the Late Stage of Pregnancy. He quickly stored the Red Rock Celestial Stone in the space ring.
Wang Hu may have been simple and honest, but he was not stupid. He knew that if outsiders found such a treasure, it would surely lead to mortal danger.
After securing the Red Rock Celestial Stone, Wang Hu walked over to Ding Fan's side.
Now, seeing this scene, everyone could no longer stand idle. They watched Ding Fan with murderous intent in their eyes.
To everyone, while they couldn't say anything about Ding Fan taking the crystal core of the Fourth Grade Peak Yuan Beast, taking the Red Rock Celestial Stone was absolutely unacceptable.
Previously, they were already coveting Ding Fan's Fourth Grade Peak Yuan Beast crystal core, and now seeing Ding Fan take the Red Rock Celestial Stone made them secretly rejoice, feeling it gave them a just cause now.
Of all, Gao Jian was the angriest upon seeing this scene. Watching Wang Hu, under Ding Fan's orders, stowing away the Red Rock Celestial Stone, he beca furious, coldly questioning Ding Fan:
"What do you intend to do? Planning to take the Red Rock Celestial Stone all by yourself?"
Hearing Gao Jian's words, everyone directed their cold and questioning gazes at Ding Fan.
Listening to them, Ding Fan calmly replied:
"I already said, whoever has the ability can take the treasure, I don't need to explain further, right?"
Hearing Ding Fan's words, everyone was taken aback. Initially, they had asked Ding Fan to take the charge, hoping he would be a sacrifice, otherwise they wouldn't share the treasure with him. They didn't expect him to kill the Yuan Beast on his own, making it logical for him to take the treasure.
However, Gao Jian wouldn't agree and sneered:
"Stop dreaming! Hand over the Red Rock Celestial Stone and the Colorful Python's crystal core, or don't expect to walk out of this mine cave alive! Isn't that right, everyone?"
Gao Jian said this while prompting the surrounding people.
By now, everyone, blinded by the allure of the Red Rock Celestial Stone and the crystal core, couldn't care less about Ding Fan's cultivation and stared coldly at him, ready to act at the slightest disagreent.
One after another, they agreed:
"Brother Gao is right! Ding Fan, hand everything over, dreaming of keeping it all to yourself is foolish!"
"We aren't pushovers; a fight would be bad for everyone!"
"Ding Fan, if you don't obey Captain Gao, it ans you're automatically leaving the team. In that case, leave the things, or don't bla us for being rude!"
"Wang Hu, I advise you not to follow that guy blindly. Co to us, and we might consider giving you a share of the treasure!"
"..."
Everyone spoke in cold and harsh tones towards Ding Fan and Wang Hu.
Standing at the front, Gao Jian watched this scene with a cunning satisfaction. In his mind, it was a win-win either way, as Ding Fan, however formidable, couldn't possibly contend against so many, and in the end, the treasures would be his.
Gao Jian, feeling triumphant inside, then said to Ding Fan:
"This is your last chance, or don't bla us for having no rcy later!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu's face turned extrely grave. He knew that not only did they have strength in numbers, but two Nascent Soul Stage cultivators were among them. If a fight broke out, even with Ding Fan being formidable, it would be challenging, prompting him to look back at Ding Fan anxiously.
But when Wang Hu saw Ding Fan's appearance, he was shocked.
At this mont, Ding Fan's expression was calm, as warm as the sunlight in spring, showing no tension at all about the situation in front of him, rather displaying an easy, amused look.
Ding Fan glanced at Gao Jian and couldn't help but find it amusing. He then spoke to everyone with a playful tone:
"Haha, you've been tricked by Gao Jian and don't even know it. I'm afraid that if he sells you later, you'll still help him count the money."
Hearing Ding Fan's words, everyone was montarily stunned, not sure what to make of it.
Gao Jian sold us?
How could that be?
Brother Gao is undoubtedly a kind-hearted cultivator, generously leading us newcors to this Spirit Stone-rich mine cave for the first ti and even giving us dicine pills. To know that those are Foundation Building Pills—cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage highly value them, and he's so loyal to give each of us one.
How could such a loyal person sche against everyone?
"Don't slander Gao Jian, Brother Ding Fan. How could Brother Gao, who's so loyal and generous, plot against us?"
"That's right. If it weren't for Brother Gao's guidance, we'd never have found a place with so many treasures!"
"You're the one spewing nonsense! You seem more like a despicable person!"
"..."
All of a sudden, everyone's voices were full of trust for Gao Jian, showing disdain towards Ding Fan. No one expected him to play such a trick now, trying to sow discord.
At this mont, Gao Jian's face was still changing in expression as he listened to everyone's words. He looked seriously at Ding Fan with deep apprehension in his heart. Did this person find out about the Foundation Building Pill?
Ding Fan looked at everyone's expressions of utter faith in Gao Jian, unable to contain his amusent, and continued:
"Do you think the Foundation Building Pills Gao Jian gave you are just ordinary dicine pills? Channel your True Qi and check the insides of your livers. Do you feel sothing lively within you?"
Hearing Ding Fan's words, everyone was surprised and quickly channeled a bit of True Qi to inspect their internal organs, and the next mont, everyone was stunned.
Inside their bodies, there indeed was sothing lively moving among their internal organs.
At this mont, Wang Hu by Ding Fan's side was also stunned as he checked his own body, but he found nothing inside him. However, he suddenly rembered how Brother Fan had deliberately patted him before, and with a face of astonishnt, turned back to look at Ding Fan.
Ding Fan saw Wang Hu's expression and gave a faint smile, signaling him not to worry.
Everyone's minds were in chaos, confirming there indeed was sothing unknown inside their bodies.
Now, everyone was looking at Gao Jian with puzzled expressions, nervously asking:
"Brother Gao, is there sothing wrong with the dicine pills you gave us?"
"What exactly is inside our bodies?"
"..."
All of a sudden, everyone started panicking, repeatedly questioning Gao Jian.
"Hehe..."
Gao Jian let out a series of cold laughs. He hadn't expected them to find out about his tactics and, with a proud and sinister look, said:
"Even if you know, what's the use? The Heart Controlling Gu Worm isn't sothing anyone can expel. You're all going to die! All the treasures are mine! Haha..."
As Gao Jian finished speaking, he erupted into loud laughter, seemingly uttering so spell under his breath.
Suddenly, everyone felt a wrenching pain in their bodies, as if sothing was gnawing at their internal organs!
In no ti, everyone collapsed helplessly to the ground, their eyes filled with hatred towards Gao Jian, in disbelief.
They had always thought the most loyal Gao Jian was the one who killed them.
Nothing could be more foolish!
"Gao Jian, you bastard, you'll die a miserable death! Ah..."
"Gao Jian, even as a ghost, I won't let you get away..."
"Ah, it hurts so much..."
In no ti, cries of agony echoed everywhere, faces contorted in pain.
At this mont, Gao Jian's face was full of sinister pride, his malice fully exposed. Yet, when he saw Ding Fan and Wang Hu still standing there as if nothing had happened, he was utterly stunned.
"How can it be that nothing happened to you?"
Gao Jian said, face aghast.
At this mont, seeing everyone's state, Wang Hu couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. After all, he too had taken the sa dicine pill from Gao Jian. How could nothing have happened to him? But quickly he recalled Ding Fan deliberately patting him earlier, and with a doubtful look, he gazed at Ding Fan.
Seeing Wang Hu's questioning eyes, Ding Fan explained:
"Your Heart Controlling Gu Worm has been neutralized by ."
Hearing Ding Fan's words, Wang Hu was shocked but also relieved. He hadn't expected that Brother Fan had long seen that Gao Jian was up to no good and had neutralized the poison long ago. He couldn't help but feel a deep admiration for Brother Fan.
Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Gao Jian was utterly shocked.
How did he know about the ultimate Heart Controlling Gu Worm? Moreover, he had even neutralized it?
How could this be possible!
