Ninth In the World

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow suddenly laughed, looked at Jie Wanling and said, “I thought that Senior Brother Jie had created the Starry Sky Tea so that young master Jie Huang of the Star Demon Palace could sell it in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. I just realized that Senior Brother Jie does not know about this either.”

Jie Wanling, who felt a little awkward, said, “That disappointing son of mine is indeed selling immortal spirit tea in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, but I guess that he is reselling the tea. My disappointing son can only be a trader unlike our niece, Qingbing.”

Jie Wanling misunderstood what Immortal Emperor Melting Snow meant and thought that Jie Huang was one of the many traders who resold the Starry Sky Tea in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City and used his name to operate the business.

However, the Starry Sky Tea was indeed a very good tea, so the person who formulated it had to be an expert.

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow laughed. “Looks like Daoist Jie doesn’t know Jie Huang very well.”

Jie Wanling, who was stunned, asked, “Junior Sister Louxue, what makes you say that?”

Didn’t he understand Jie Huang? Who else in the universe understood his son more than him? It was true that he had given Jie Huang the freedom to do whatever he wanted and let Jie Huang’s mother spoil him, thereby leading him to his sorry state. Although Jie Wanling was partly responsible for Jie Huang’s current state, he knew his son very well.

In fact, Jie Wanling had thought that Jie Huang would not achieve much on the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit even if no one plotted against him.

Jie Huang was rather cowardly and did not have definite views of his own. He was also too naive and trusted others very easily. Although he had potential, he could not bear hardships and would be unable to become as outstanding as the other heirs.

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow then said, “There is only one tea house selling the Starry Sky Tea in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City: the Starry Sky Tea House. It is difficult to purchase the tea leaves, and the tea leaves I have are second-hand products I got at a very high price. Even though I am Immortal Emperor Melting Snow of the Yaohua Snow Mountain, I spent more than 200,000 freedom points on 100 tea leaves. Therefore, I would like to ask Senior Brother Jie to do me a favor and sell me some Starry Sky Tea leaves.”

More than 200,000 freedom points for 100 Starry Sky Tea leaves?

Jie Wanling drew a breath of cold air. That was daylight robbery! Xiling Yuanyi, Immortal Emperor Yuanyi of the Buzhou Immortal Sect, Yue Wuliang, Immortal Emperor of the Sky Cloud Dao, and Zhou Void Sword, Immortal Emperor Void Sword from the Moving Sword Immortal Sect all gasped.

One tea leaf for 2,000 freedom points? Even the sect masters of the big five sects did not have such a big business.

“Junior Sister Louxue, are you serious? Jie Huang is the only one who owns this business in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City?” Jie Wanling could not help but ask.

It was the first time Immortal Emperor Melting Snow looked at Jie Wanling with such an expression. Thus, she understood that he had no idea about this matter. She nodded and said, “That’s right, my disciple purchased these tea leaves. The Starry Sky Tea House sells a limited amount of tea, so it is very difficult to get the tea leaves.”

“That rascal,” said Jie Wanling subconsciously. He had not felt proud of Jie Huang ever since his son had been born. However, for the first time, he actually felt proud.

“He he… Although nephew Jie Huang is very powerful, I doubt that he is qualified to refine such Starry Sky Tea. Brother Jie, please pardon me if I say the wrong thing. I am a straightforward person. I believe that nephew Jie saw the owner of the tea and the latter offered it to him. Therefore, the tea became nephew Jie’s tea,” Xiling Yuanyi said mockingly.

Jie Wanling obviously understood Xiling Yuanyi’s words. He was trying to say that Jie Huang was a big bully and the owner of the tea had no choice but to work for him.

Jie Wanling was very furious. He believed that Xiling Yuanyi had been involved when Jie Huang had been set up by Xiling Yuanyi’s son, Xiling Pu.

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow, Mo Louxue, laughed before Jie Wanling could say anything. “Senior Brother Xiling is wrong this time. The owner of the Starry Sky Tea House is a remarkable person. He confronted Chi Yuanqing on his own as soon as he arrived in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City…”

“Chi Yuanqing? Chi Zhengshan’s son, who had a daughter who needed the Seven-Orifice Soul Gathering Elixir?” Immortal Emperor Void Sword from the Moving Sword Immortal Sect asked in surprise. After all, this was really easy to guess.

Although Chi Zhengshan’s cultivation experience was far lower than theirs, he was one of the experts of their era.

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow nodded. “Brother Zhou’s guess is very right. That person is called Di Jiu and he is an alchemy master. He looked for Chi Yuanqing because he wanted to refine the Seven-Orifice Soul Condensing Pill.”

“Did he have a death wish?” Yue Wuliang frowned.

It was obvious that even the immortal emperors in the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent knew that Chi Yuanqing from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City was trying to find people to refine elixirs.

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow said emotionlessly, “He wasn’t there because he had a death wish. Not only did he survive, but he came out of Chi Yuanqing’s room successfully. It’s said that Chi Yuanqing’s daughter recovered and was even able to cultivate.”

“Was he even able to refine the Seven-Orifice Soul Condensing Pill?” Immortal Emperor Bujian asked excitedly.

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow continued. “I don’t know if that person was able to refine the Seven-Orifice Soul Condensing Pill, but I know that Chi Yuanqing left the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City after his second meeting with Di Jiu. It’s said that he went to search for something for that alchemy master.”

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow looked at Xiling Yuanyi as she said that. “The Star Elixir Dispensary probably knows that Di Jiu has a very powerful alchemy Dao. They tried to take him by using different ways. In the end, Di Jiu killed the shop owner and assistant of a shop on the streets of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City. The accomplice of the Star Elixir Dispensary, Huang Quan, was also killed. She was the daughter of Huang Yetian, the sect master of the Thousand Maple Sect. In addition, he used certain ways to put deacon Lu of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City behind bars.”

Jie Wanling obviously understood the meaning behind Immortal Emperor Melting Snow’s words. Thus, he said emotionlessly, “I know my son quite well, and I know that he probably cannot convince someone like Di Jiu to be his subordinate. If nephew Pu was in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City, he would definitely make the alchemy master submit to him if he were to meet him.”

Immortal Emperor Melting Snow laughed. “Brother Jie does know a bit about Jie Huang. He calls Di Jiu his Big Brother. The Fortune Inn of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City wanted to snatch their business but got taken care of by them instead.”

Jie Wanling’s face darkened. He believed that weaklings like the Fortune Inn had no right to bully his son, even though his son’s days were numbered.

Zhou Bujian, who seemed to suddenly recall something, did not want to talk about Di Jiu anymore. He took out a jade box and said, “Niece Qingbing is the first to break through the Immortal King Realm. I only have a humble gift for you. I acquired this Immortal Sword Talisman by chance, so I’m going to give it to you as a gift.”

Zhou Bujian was the first to take out a gift. When he did, the other sect masters started to take out their gifts as well.

Everyone present were experts at the Immortal Emperor level and sect masters of the five big sects. Therefore, nobody took out something shabby.

…

Outside the Starry Sky Tea House in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City, Little Tree was speaking to a scholarly man while bowing down. “Deacon, my Big Brother entered reclusive cultivation for a month. He told me not to disturb him until his cultivation is complete.”

The scholarly man had no choice but to say, “In that case, I will take my leave. Please inform me when Alchemy Master Di has completed his reclusive cultivation and I will pay a visit personally.”

“Yes, I will definitely inform you,” Little Tree answered hurriedly.

The person before Little Tree was an immortal king expert. He was deacon Lin Qing from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City Elixir Association. His cultivation experience was much higher than Little Tree’s. Therefore, it did not dare to ignore him.

Lin Qing sighed when he left the Starry Sky Tea House. He believed that Di Jiu had been a marvelous person in the past. Upon thinking of it now, he realized that Di Jiu had held back some tricks during the test. Otherwise, he would have been able to refine the Seven-Orifice Soul Condensing Pill.

A great alchemy master who could refine the Seven-Orifice Soul Condensing Pill would be specially nurtured by the Elixir Association.

…

Di Jiu raised his hand and took out a thin black thread with a hint of red color. He placed it in a jade box and then created more than ten restrictions on the jade box.

At that moment, what seemed like a thin thread to Di Jiu could not even be detected by others by using Spiritual Force. This was the Spirit of Desire Poison Di Jiu had taken from Jie Huang. He could see the form of the poison because he understood the law of the poison.

The Desire Poison was intimidating because people did not know about it. If another cultivator with the Desire Poison approached Di Jiu, he would remove the poison easily with just a few slaps.

Jie Huang’s cultivation experience increased significantly after he broke free from the torture of the Desire Poison and Di Jiu set up a Starry Sky meridian for him. The Blood Essence Jie Huang lost due to the Dao fire also went back into his body once again.

Jie Huang had a good foundation, so his tempered body reached the Tribulation Realm of the Third Deity thanks to the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art. Di Jiu was too lazy to continue burning Jie Huang with the Dao fire. Besides, Jie Huang would have to rely on himself afterward. Di Jiu needed to improve his alchemy Dao level now.
