Ninth In the World

Di Jiu looked at Ye Xi with a confused expression. “Palatial Lord Ye, this is strange. If he wanted to offer his Spatial Extremity Sprout, why can’t I want it? Or did you think that since this is the Brilliant Lake Palace, as long as Palatial Lord Ye is interested in something, nobody else could quote a price? In that case, I will leave first.”

Di Jiu cupped his fists before Jie Ke. “Daoist Jie, why don’t we leave and make a deal outside? This is Palatial Lord Ye’s territory and he won’t allow us to make a trade.”

Many of the cultivators at the Brilliant Lake were somewhat disdainful at the moment, as they were fully aware of what Ye Xi and Di Jiu meant. Di Jiu had indeed snatched two things from Ye Xi, but that was considered normal during an Immortal Trade Meeting. During such a meeting, if two people were interested in the same thing, they would slander each other and undermine one another’s quotes. It was fine as long as the quote satisfied the cultivator who wanted to make a deal.

Ye Xi’s words were considered a violation. On the other hand, what Di Jiu had done was somewhat narrow-minded but legal.

“Ha ha…” Ye Xi laughed. “I was somewhat inconsiderate. Let’s talk about Alchemy Emperor Di and I later. Right now, we will compete for the Spatial Extremity Sprout. Elder Jie, I offer a supreme-grade immortal spirit meridian, a time crystal, three high-grade Intent Supremacy Elixirs,100 million immortal crystals, and this Green Lotus Flag. All these things are on the table if you want to make a deal about your Spatial Extremity Sprout.”

Everyone present gasped upon hearing this.

Ye Xi’s quote was indeed very excessive. Regardless of whether his Green Lotus Flag was real or not, one time crystal would be enough to match the Spatial Extremity Sprout.

Regardless of how precious the Spatial Extremity Sprout was, it was only an immortal spirit herb. It was just a level-nine immortal spirit herb.

With Ye Xi’s offer, he could purchase dozens of level-nine immortal spirit herbs.

Jie Ke’s hands started trembling when he heard Ye Xi’s quote. He knew that the Spatial Extremity Sprout was a rare immortal spirit herb of the spiritual category. However, regardless of how rare it was, it was not worth what Ye Xi had offered.

He could not resist Ye Xi’s offer, even though he longed for Di Jiu’s elixir pill to recover his Spiritual Sea.

Di Jiu clearly sensed that Jie Ke was moved. Thus, he laughed and said, “Palatial Lord Ye, you don’t have to offer the fake Green Lotus Flag. We pay attention to honesty here. I can only sense all kinds of counterfeits on Palatial Lord Ye…”

Ye Xi, who did not know which counterfeit he meant, snorted. “It’s not up to you to say whether it’s fake or not. Elder Jie’s cultivation level is far above yours, so he will determine that on his own.”

“Elder Jie, although I shouldn’t look down on these things, I’m straightforward. I don’t like to conceal anything. The truth is that what Palatial Lord Ye said is right. You will determine that. For now, I’ll offer you 200 million high-grade immortal crystals, 10 supreme-grade immortal crystals, five high-grade immortal spirit meridians, six nine-patterned special-class elixirs and Intent Supremacy Elixirs, as well as two time crystal stones. Of course, the most important bargaining chip is 30 of my Spiritual River Pills and their formula.” Di Jiu lifted his ring straightforwardly once he finished his words.

Jie Ke suppressed the excitement in his heart hard and said without the slightest hesitation, “Alchemy Emperor Di, I will trade with you.”

Meanwhile, he had already walked to Di Jiu’s side and handed the item over to him. He did not dare throw the item in his hand to Di Jiu since there was already someone who had dared to snatch Di Jiu’s White Cloud Bound Flag.

Only a fool would have traded with Ye Xi. Ye Xi’s Green Lotus Flag was obviously fake. If it had been real, Ye Xi would not have offered the Green Lotus Flag for a trade. After all, the flag was worth countless Spatial Extremity Sprouts. The reason he had been moved by Ye Xi’s offer previously was because of the time crystal.

However, Di Jiu had offered two time crystals. Everything was better than what Ye Xi had offered except for the supreme-grade immortal spirit meridian. However, the nine-patterned Intent Supremacy Elixir’s price was astronomical, so six of them would cost a fortune. He also urgently needed the supreme-grade immortal crystals. If one added the Spiritual River Pill formula, why would he not make a deal with Di Jiu?

The surrounding people sighed upon seeing their successful trade. Since when had one Spatial Extremity Sprout become so valuable?

Besides, Di Jiu actually had two time crystals. Hadn’t he spent a huge amount of money to purchase one in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City in the past?

Ye Xi calmed down after he saw Di Jiu and Jie Ke complete their trade.

He had to take down Di Jiu before he left this place. The Spatial Extremity Sprout was too important to him, as his Phantasmal Eye required it. It was obvious that his speculation before had not been wrong. Di Jiu also had divine power similar to the Phantasmal Eye. Otherwise, he would not have come out of the Chaotic Law Zone unscathed or spent such a huge price to compete with him and buy the Spatial Extremity Sprout.

Ye Xi did not know that Di Jiu had already survived before possessing the Dao eye.

The others were all trading items, including the Immortal Emperors. Even though the trades were not in Di Jiu’s league, every offer was a top-notch treasure.

Di Jiu stopped portraying all kinds of Nomological Array flags. This was enough to set up a level-nine Confinement Killing Array. He was now waiting for everyone’s trades to be completed to fall out with Ye Xi. Given the numerous Nomological Array flags he had portrayed, if he set aside the Control Array flag, he could set up the level-nine Confinement Killing Immortal Array at any time.

“Alchemy Emperor Di, do you still have your Starry Sky Tea? I wish to trade for some of it,” said a fifth-stage Immortal Emperor expert Di Jiu had never seen.

Di Jiu replied with cupped fists apologetically, “I don’t have much Starry Sky Tea left. Unless someone has the 100-million-year-old Immortal Wood Pith or knows where I can find it…”

Everyone was silent when they heard that. A treasure like the Immortal Wood Pith was something that could be found if it was destined to. Price-wise, it was more precious than the Spatial Extremity Sprout Di Jiu had traded earlier.

Di Jiu did not expect an immediate outcome. They were all experts, so if they wanted to trade with him afterward, they would find him themselves.

Everyone knew that Ye Xi did not trade anything because he was waiting for them to complete their trade before revolting against Di Jiu.

Ye Xi was the top expert in this galaxy after all. After feeling this desolate killing intent, the cultivators who had originally wanted to trade took the initiative to halt.

Ye Xi stood up once again and said with cupped fists, “It would be easy dealing with Alchemy Emperor Di given my strength. I stand straight, as there is always a reason behind everything. I invited all of you here today to taste the immortal spiritual fruits. Besides creating an Immortal Trade Meeting for everyone today and improving communication, I asked for everyone to judge for me.”

The pretty boy called Fang Qi, who was beside He Weiwei, stood up and said with a face full of lament, “I used to rely on my strength to do things several times and didn’t care about other people’s reasoning. After hearing Palatial Lord Ye’s words today, I’m really ashamed. I only have the strength of a first-stage Immortal Emperor, yet I’m so supercilious and arrogant. As the top of the Four Major Immortal Continents, Palatial Lord Ye still speaks the truth and grounds me. I’m utterly ashamed…”

Di Jiu sighed loudly so that everyone could hear. He then looked at Fang Qi and said, “Fang Qi, I bear grudges against you, but you shouldn’t know. How could you do this to me?”

Fang Qi frowned and replied with a grim face, “When did I do anything to you? What I’ve said came from my heart. One shouldn’t overestimate themselves. Fortunately, your cultivation level is only at the Immortal King Realm. If you had the same strength as Palatial Lord Ye, I”m afraid nobody would speak before you in this universe.”

Di Jiu chuckled. “I’m not overestimating myself, but you’ve uttered these embarrassing words and almost caused me to throw up a million years of food. Are you not harming me then? A million years ago, I performed good deeds every day and lived frugally. I ate a meal with difficulty, yet today, I have to throw up everything… Forget it. Why am I saying all this?”

“Pfff!” Ai Qingbing was the youngest, and her cultivation level was the weakest. She could not help but laugh out loud. Immortal Emperor Melting Snow, Mo Louxue, glared at her. Despite the warm atmosphere, blood would be shed later on. Mo Louxue was the Sect Master of Yaohua Snow Mountain, which was one of the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent’s five large sects. However, she was not considered important here.

Di Jiu was ruthless, and Xie Wanling and Yue Wuliang, who were on par with her, had not come. As for Xiling Yuanyi, he had already been dead for a long time. That was not right. He did not even have a tomb.
