Chapter 2782: Chapter 2782: Following

In the end, Fang Bai and the other divine beings parted ways with Yaojian and the others in the Fiery Flame Crystal Zone.

The gods from the Emperor’s Palace, led by an elder, headed towards a celestial body named Canglan to meet his friend.

Meanwhile, Yaojian and the others chose to remain in the Fiery Flame Crystal Zone to continue mining divine crystals.

On the way to Canglan Star, Fang Bai learned that the elder was named Liu Sha, a True God Realm powerhouse from Canglan Star and the leader of a small crystal-mining team.

Liu Sha had many friends on Canglan Star, one of whom had been severely injured and knew the location of the Outstanding Galaxy and was a close friend of his.

Fang Bai traveled on Liu Sha’s starship and returned to Canglan Star in less than a day, where he soon met his friend named Jin Ding.

When Fang Bai met Jin Ding, he found that Jin Ding’s Qi Sea had indeed been destroyed, and his body no longer contained any divine power. To a former mid-level True God Realm powerhouse, this was truly a fate worse than death.

"You want to go to the Outstanding Galaxy?"

Upon hearing Fang Bai’s explanation of his intentions, Jin Ding glanced at him sideways and said indifferently.

Fang Bai nodded with a smile and said, "Indeed."

Jin Ding pointed to his Qi Sea and said, "If you get me a Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill, I’ll take you there!"

In the Divine Realm, alchemists were rare, and those capable of refining a Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill were even more scarce. Therefore, obtaining such a pill was extremely difficult, and even having an abundance of cultivation resources might not guarantee one.

After being injured, Jin Ding’s cultivation resources were stolen, leaving him a "pauper," with no hope of obtaining a Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill, leading to despair and waiting on Canglan Star for his life force to be exhausted and to fall.

When he mentioned the Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill to Fang Bai, it was merely a casual remark, without hoping that Fang Bai could truly procure such a rare and highly valuable divine elixir.

"Alright, I’ll get you a Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill, and you shall take me to the Outstanding Galaxy!"

Fang Bai agreed without hesitation.

For other powerhouses, acquiring a Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill was extremely difficult, but for Fang Bai, it was no trouble at all.

Previously at the Starshine Commerce Assembly on Jade Dragon Star, Fang Bai, as an Elder of Tribute, held an abundance of cultivation resources, which he used to refine many divine elixirs, including the Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill.

When Fang Bai left Jade Dragon Star, he carried many divine elixirs with him for future use, not expecting they would come in handy at this moment.

It’s not just one Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill; Fang Bai could hand over ten at present.

"What?"

Upon hearing that Fang Bai would give him a Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill, Jin Ding’s body shook, and he became instantly excited, staring at Fang Bai with wide eyes, "You... you have a Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill?"

Seeing Fang Bai’s nod, Jin Ding tried to control his excitement, rubbing his palms together, he said, "Well... could you show me your Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill?"

Knowing Jin Ding did not quite believe him, Fang Bai conjured a radiant and translucent green Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill into his palm.

"A True God Realm Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill... indeed it’s true..."

Experiencing the rich fragrance of the elixir and the surging divine power it contained, Jin Ding’s eyes couldn’t help but shine as he looked at the divine elixir in Fang Bai’s palm, his excitement causing his body to tremble.

Fang Bai smiled faintly and casually tossed the Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill to Jin Ding, saying with a smile, "I’ll stay at a nearby inn, waiting for your strength to recover, and then I’ll visit you."

With those words, he turned and left.

"Congratulations, Brother Jin Ding!"

Liu Sha, who had accompanied Fang Bai to find Jin Ding, felt pleased for him and stepped forward to pat his shoulder as Jin Ding was moved to tears.

Jin Ding wiped the tears from his face and laughed heartily a few times, "Sorry, got too excited. I’ll take the Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill right away, and if my Qi Sea is restored, I shall owe my rebirth to young friend Fang Bai and will surely follow him from then on!"

Liu Sha said, "Fang Bai has some means in the search for divine crystals, and though young, he already possesses True God Realm strength, indicating extraordinary potential. If you indeed follow him, it might bring about a significant opportunity in the future."

Jin Ding nodded in agreement, "Though my Qi Sea was destroyed, my insight remained intact, and I can see that this young man is not ordinary. Brother Liu Sha, why don’t you join me in following Fang Bai?"

Liu Sha, recalling the dozens of Void God Realm powerhouses following Fang Bai, each with good qualifications, thought Fang Bai might achieve great things in the Divine Realm. He said, "Very well. Once I’ve arranged everything, I shall accompany you to follow Fang Bai and venture to the Outstanding Galaxy."

After a pause, he added, "Brother Jin Ding, you focus on consuming the divine elixir and entering closed cultivation; I’ll protect you!"

While Jin Ding went into seclusion, Fang Bai and the gods from the Emperor’s Palace traveled around Canglan Star, collecting some divine crystals and divine medicine.

Afterwards, they returned to Canglan City, using the cultivation resources they’d obtained to exchange for things they liked at the Cultivation Resource Exchange Market in the city.

During this time, led by Fang Bai, all the disciples of the Emperor’s Palace acted discreetly, avoiding any conflicts with other powerhouses.

One day, Fang Bai sensed a strong aura of mid-level True God Realm emanating from Jin Ding’s residence, and he was pleased, knowing that Jin Ding’s Qi Sea had been repaired and his strength restored.

Once Jin Ding had fully stabilized his realm, he and Liu Sha came to visit Fang Bai at the inn where he was staying, without waiting for Fang Bai to visit them.

"Congratulations to Brother Jin Ding on restoring your strength!"

Seeing Jin Ding, Fang Bai scanned him with his divine sense, finding his Qi Sea intact and confirming that he had indeed returned to mid-level True God Realm cultivation.

"Thanks to Brother Fang’s Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill!"

With his strength restored, Jin Ding, recalling his previous despair, felt deeply grateful to Fang Bai.

"I shall now take Brother Fang to the Outstanding Galaxy. However... I have a rather presumptuous request, and I hope Brother Fang might agree."

Jin Ding cupped his fists as he spoke.

Fang Bai naturally did not jump to conclusions and said with a smile, "Brother, please speak. I shall see if it’s within my capability."

Jin Ding and Liu Sha exchanged a glance, then bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Both of us wish to follow Brother Fang in the future and roam the Divine Realm at your side!"

Fang Bai paused in surprise, not expecting these two elders of the Divine Realm to come up with such an idea.

He pondered for a moment and asked, "What prompted you to come up with this thought?"

Liu Sha was understandable, but Jin Ding, being a mid-level True God Realm powerhouse, ranked higher than Fang Bai in both realm and cultivation level, why would he willingly submit to Fang Bai?

Jin Ding raised two fingers and said earnestly, "Firstly, you have given me a renewed life; following you is my way of repaying you. Secondly, you have exceptional talent, and shall not remain a commoner in the future. Following you, I might share in your future glory."

Liu Sha also said, "Brother Jin Ding’s thoughts align with mine. Brother Fang, this is our request, can you agree?"
