Chapter 511 Being with You All the Way

Ji Yingqi softly comforted his brother, gasping for breath. When she breathed a little more smoothly, she said with smile, “Brother Ding, I know what you said, but the Nine Emperor’s Heart-protecting Bamboo Shoots are really rare and precious. My family has been looking for this medicine since I have been sick, but we haven’t obtained it for more than ten years. The other thirteen kinds of divine herbs are also rare. And refining the Nine Yang Mind-Luring Pill requires a Sixth-Level Elixir Pharmacist... For us, this is impossible.”

Seeing that the little girl seemed to be willing to give up, Ding Hao consoled her, “It doesn’t matter. Except for the Nine Emperor’s Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoots, I have the other thirteen divine herbs. It shouldn’t be difficult to find the Nine Emperor’s Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoots in the mysterious ruins this time. As long as you collect all the raw materials, I can help you refine them into a Nine Yang Mind-Luring Pill.”

“What?” Ji Yingnan first exclaimed aloud and said happily, “Master Ding, you... also know how to refine pills?”

Ding Hao smiled slightly and said, “I just know a little about it.”

Ji Yingnan, a cold man, rubbed his hands excitedly at the time.

Ding Hao, the Saber and Sword Addict, was a very powerful person. His words carried weight, and he would never do things that he was not sure of. Since he had made such a promise, it meant that he was fully confident about refining the pill.

He would really survive the crisis.

He had gone all out to sell all the ancestral properties of the Ji family and got an additional quota. Carrying his sister to the Sage Battlefield all the way, he risked his life to enter the ancient road to the west to find the Nine Emperor’s Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoots in order to save his sister.

It was already a very little chance of success.

Even if he could really find the Nine Emperor’s Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoots, where would he go to get a Sixth-Level Pharmacist? It was known that pharmacists were very rare, especially the Sixth-Level Pharmacists, even the strong ones at the Martial Royal Realm had to treat them politely. The Sixth-Level Pharmacists were all arrogant, so how would they help him for nothing?

Those were all problems that Ji Yingnan wouldn’t even dare to imagine.

He only hoped that he could do things one step at a time. Day and night, he prayed that there would be a way out.

He had not expected that he could see hope in the midst of despair.

“Great, thank you, Master Ding. If you can cure my sister’s illness, I...” Ji Yingnan stammered for a long time, then knelt down on one knee and swore, “I, Ji Yingnan, was saved by you. From now on I’m willing to be your servant for the rest of my life. I’ll follow your lead and work hard for you, Master Ding.”

Ding Hao slightly stretched out his hand with a strong force gushing out, stopping Ji Yingnan from kneeling down.

“I am helping you for a reason.” Ding Hao took out the Black Serpent Ring from his own storage ring and handed it over to him.

“When I was in training last year, I found this ring in a desperate situation. There were a few top-grade mysterious crystals with a saber manual called Long-for-Love Sabre Skills. There was also a long saber named Wen Qing Sabre. I thought it was an ownerless saber, so I broke the ring, got its legacy, and practiced the saber skills. Today I saw the same ring in Yingqi’s hand, and then I knew that you were the descendants of the ring owner. I enjoyed the kindness of the ring’s owner, so I naturally should protect you and your sister!”

So that was how it was.

Both Ji Yingnan and his sister suddenly understood why Ding Hao was willing to help them.

When they saw that Ding Hao take out the Black Serpent Ring, the last doubt in their hearts was dispelled.

It was no wonder that such a high-ranking big shot like Ding Hao would take the initiative to help him and his sister, and he was also willing to take the initiative to make the Nine Emperor’s Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoots. It turned out that there was such a story. Everything could be explained by the ring.

“Brother Ding... Have you seen my grandfather?” Ji Yingqi asked in surprise.

She didn’t know why she just didn’t want to call Ding Hao Master Ding like her brother did. She preferred to call him Brother Ding.

Ding Hao nodded and said, “It’s a pity that he had been dead for a long time when I saw him.”

“Grandpa had been missing for hundreds of years. The family has been mentally prepared for it for a long time, but there was still a last shred of hope. We didn’t expect that he had really passed away...” The brother and sister sighed.

Ji Yingnan admired Ding Hao even more in her heart.

It seemed that what people said by word of mouth was true. The Sabre and Sword Addict was indeed a strange man who could distinguish kindness from hatred. If it was someone else, he would have never told them such things, let alone return the Black Serpent Ring to them. After all, there was a huge treasure inside the ring. As long as he didn’t tell others, no one in the world would know that the Black Serpent Ring was in his hands.

It was really God’s kindness that the Black Serpent Ring had landed in the hands of such a handsome young man who was so bright and straightforward.

They might have been blessed by their deceased grandfather, so the last pair of children in the Ji family had the chance to be saved through the ring in such a way.

After thinking about it, Ji Yingnan didn’t take the Black Serpent Ring.

He shook his head and said, “Since Master Ding found the thing, it means that it’s the will of heaven. The ring should belong to you, Master Ding. Years ago, Grandpa was famous for his sabre technique in the Jade Province, and he was known as the First Saberman. Unfortunately, I had abandoned my sabre technique to learn the sword. If the sabre skills in the ring fell into my hands, it would be like a bright pearl being thrown into darkness. Only outstanding people like you could carry them forward. As for the top-grade mysterious crystals...”

Speaking of that, Ji Yingnan smiled bitterly. “The Ji family in the Jade Province has fallen apart and no one can restore its past glory. Now we don’t even have strength to protect ourselves. If we carry such a fortune with us, we will be hunted for it. The things in the ring are a reward for your saving grace today, Master Ding.”

Ding Hao thought about it and took back the Black Serpent Ring, saying, “Well, I’ll keep this ring for the time being. Later, I’ll teach you the Heaven-Level Sword Technique to exchange for the Long-for-Love Sabre Skills. If your Ji family rises to fame in the future, you can send someone to find me. I’ll return all 1,000 top-grade mysterious crystals to you at that time!”

Ji Yingnan was not unpretentious. He nodded, saying, “Thank you, Master Ding.”

He repeatedly sighed in his heart.

Ji Yingnan, known as the Little Sword Sage in Jade Province was completely convinced at that time. Ding Hao was worthy of his fame. When they met, he became more famous. Ding Hao, the Sabre and Sword Addict, was really a dragon among men. He was a great hero, righteous and upright. Many disciples of aristocratic families, who saw themselves as geniuses, would never be able to catch up with him in their lifetimes.

“By the way, do you really have a piece of the ancient-road map?” Ding Hao remembered what Tang Baishuang and the others had said before.

“I do have a stone tablet of historical sites.” At that time, Ji Yingnan had complete trust in Ding Hao and no longer hid anything about them from Ding Hao. From the storage space, he took out a blue stone tablet.

“It’s indeed a piece of the map.” Ding Hao could tell at a glance that the stone tablet was indeed a piece of the map of the ancient road to the west. This would be the eleventh and final piece of the map. That was to say, as long as they had enough strength, they could really go through the ancient road to the west and find the mysterious ruins.

“Where did you get the stone tablet?” Ding Hao asked casually.

Ji Yingnan told him everything he knew. “I got it by chance during a training outside the Sage Battlefield. At that time, I just felt that the stone tablet was made of an extraordinary material, and the lines carved on it were extremely mysterious and difficult to figure out. I was so curious that I decided to keep it. After I entered the battlefield and heard people describe the appearance of the stone tablet map, I suspected that it was also a part of it, but I wasn’t sure.”

“Did you get it outside the Sage Battlefield?”

Ding Hao was surprised.

The eleven pieces of the stone tablet map had their own stories.

So the maps in the other forces’ hands might have been found in places other than the Sage Battlefield. For so many years, various forces had known the existence of the mysterious ruins. Presumably, in order to find all the maps, they had put in a lot of effort. Until the opening of the Sage Battlefield, they basically collected all parts of the map and took action.

It seemed to be a general trend in the unseen world.

The general trend and he rotation of the Wheel of Fate allowed the eleven stone tablets to finally be collected after hundreds of thousands of years.

Everything had its own destiny.

“With a piece of the map in your hand, you have the qualification to enter the mysterious ruins. You’d better come with me. When you enter the mysterious ruins, I will help you find the Nine Emperor’s Heart-Protecting Bamboo Shoots,” Ding Hao suggested.

“That’s more than I could wish for.” Ji Yingnan was overjoyed.

Being able to travel with Ding Hao, a powerful martial artist, at least they would be safe. They would no longer live in fear.

“That’s settled then.” Ding Hao nodded. From the storage ring, he took out a bottle of green elixir pills and handed it to the little girl Ji Yingqi. He said, “I refined this bottle of Plant’s Life Vitality Pills by myself. It works as a pain reliever and it produces vitality. Although it can’t cure your Nine Yin Meridian Severance, it can reduce the loss of vitality in your body. One pill a day can also help with pain.”

“Thank you, Brother Ding.” Ji Yingqi took it over in surprise.

In her mind, Ding Hao had been upgraded to an omnipotent existence.

She would not doubt Ding Hao’s words at all.

In the distance.

“Meow. Why do I feel that Ding Hao is tricking other people into becoming frees guides? He has no sense of direction. He wants to be with others to avoid losing his way, but he’s covering this by pretending to be righteous...” Evil Moon, the fat cat, placed his robbers’ hands into a space bag stuck to his small belly. While scolding Ding Hao in his mind, he looked at Adorable and asked, “Little loach, what do you think?”

“Hahaha!” The dolphin didn’t hesitate to raise his fin like a middle finger at the fat cat.

The group of people took a short break and soon went on their way.

Although the little girl Ji Yingqi was sick and weak, she was very clever. She soon found the right direction with a ray of light following the method of inferring time based on shadows. Along the way to the west, they finally came to the end of the ancient road.
