Ninth In the World

Panda Novel

Di Jiu also took out a ring and handed it to the cultivator in charge before saying, “Senior, I have 207 Stacked Partition Herbs and two drops of First Evolution True Dew. I only want to head to Senior Yan Yun’s venue and listen to his Dao discussion.”

Ding Zhonghe looked at Di Jiu in amazement. Among the three of them, Di Jiu had the lowest cultivation level but had taken out the most items. The items that he had taken out were exactly what he needed to enter the venue to listen to Dao Patriarch Yan Yun’s Dao discussion. It looked like the cultivator before him had some more Stacked Partition Herbs and First Evolution True Dew.

Di Jiu knew that the cultivator could not only guess that he had more on him, but he could also guess that Mu Jie and Zhuo Wujia also had more.

However, he did not worry. Even if the First Evolution Dao Sect knew, they would not do anything to the three of them. If the First Evolution Dao Sect was a sect that sought profit shamelessly for itself, they definitely would not have been one of the top-notch largest sects in the Dao World.

“You can become an outer sect disciple of our sect. Based on this, you can go to Dao Patriarch Yan Yun’s Dao discussion next month.” Ding Zhonghe took out a jade card and handed it to Di Jiu. This card was different from the ones Mu Jie and Zhuo Wujia had.

When Ding Zhonghe saw Di Jiu take the jade card, he once again said, “You can manage your outer sect disciple identity at the Disciple Hall after listening to the Dao Patriarch’s Dao discussion. Since you’re only an outer sect disciple, you cannot leave with us.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Di Jiu took the jade card very gratefully.

Right from the start, he had not thought of becoming an inner sect disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect. Besides having the complete nomological cultivation technique, he also had many secrets.

Following that, more and more cultivators returned from Honeycomb Beach, which caused an increasing commotion outside the West Gate.

Di Jiu could sense this business opportunity. Even though many cultivators were watching in a circle, not many of them could really take out Stacked Partition Herbs from the Chaos nest when there were only 10 to 20 people daily.

He left a message for Mu Jie and Zhuo Wujia before leaving the Lackluster Ocean Divine City quickly.

Half a day later, the entire Lackluster Ocean Divine City found out about it. On a reef island tens of thousands of kilometers away from the Lackluster Ocean Divine City, someone was selling Stacked Partition Herbs that grew in the Chaos nest. The price was reasonable: only 1,000 high-grade divine crystals each. People with no divine crystals could also use their blacksmithing materials or divine spirit herbs in exchange.

This news exploded in the entire Lackluster Ocean Divine City. 1,000 high-grade divine crystals for one, while 100 of them were only worth 100,000 high-grade divine crystals.

For an ordinary cultivator, 100,000 high-grade divine crystals was indeed a large sum of wealth. However, if they could use these 100,000 high-grade divine crystals to enter a good sect, they would benefit.

Even with 100,000 high-grade divine crystals, one might not be able to join the inner sect of a major sect. Only a fool would not exchange them since they could join an inner sect with 100,000 high-grade divine crystals now.

Usually, 1,000 high-grade divine crystals could only be exchanged for one Stacked Partition Herb, which nobody would do. They only had one chance now, so many of them went to exchange their divine crystals.

Countless cultivators headed to that reef island with their divine crystals, all sorts of divine spirit herbs, and ores. They only had one goal and that was to exchange them for Stacked Partition Herbs.

After the first batch of Stacked Partition Herbs was exchanged and confirmed to be indeed from the Chaos nest, the entire Lackluster Ocean Divine City became even more frantic.

More and more cultivators headed to that nameless reef island with only the goal of exchanging their items for Stacked Partition Herbs.

…

Di Jiu was naturally the person who had set up a stall on this nameless reef island. The only difference was that he once again was disguised as a dark-faced old man.

Di Jiu had over 60,000 Stacked Partition Herbs on him. He did not lack Stacked Partition Herbs that grew in the Chaos nest, but he lacked divine crystals and other cultivating resources.

In just half a day, Di Jiu had exchanged 45,000 Stacked Partition Herbs. On the other hand, he had 35 million more high-grade divine crystals and a pile of low-level divine spirit herbs and blacksmithing materials. This was definitely a terrifying sum of wealth.

Di Jiu did not intend to continue exchanging, as he only had over 10,000 Stacked Partition Herbs left. He might have a use for them since they came from the Chaos nest.

With this thought in mind, Di Jiu stood up and said in a clear voice, “Dear friends, I have exchanged all my Stacked Partition Herbs so I will leave this place today.”

Upon hearing this, the cultivators at the back grew frantic immediately.

“He definitely has more Stacked Partition Herbs on him. Let’s snatch those together.”

“That’s right, let’s snatch them together.”

The crowd grew violent and a few Dao Modeling cultivators had already thrown themselves toward Di Jiu.

Di Jiu sneered silently and threw out an array flag before he once again activated an array disc.

A moment later, a few cultivators who charged towards Di Jiu were enveloped by the Confinement Killing Array while Di Jiu was enveloped by the white flare of the teleportation array disc before vanishing instantly.

Nobody went after Di Jiu, as they would be wasting their energy. He had already prepared.

Due to Di Jiu’s accidental appearance, thousands of people now fulfilled every major sect’s recruitment all of a sudden.

Part of the cultivators had chosen outer sects. Although the cultivators who had survived in the Lackluster Ocean were rich, not every single one of them could casually take out 100,000 high-grade divine crystals. Those who were able to do so had purchased 10 Stacked Partition Herbs and entered outer sects, which was a good thing. Any outer sect disciples had a chance to join the inner sect.

The rich cultivators naturally purchased 100 Stacked Partition Herbs without hesitation and chose to enter the inner sect.

…

Di Jiu, who had a huge sum of divine crystals, did not return to the Lackluster Ocean Divine City. He had already disguised himself as an extremely normal young Itinerant Cultivator and gone to the First Evolution Sacred Dao City.

The First Evolution Sacred Dao City was near the First Evolution Dao Sect and under its control. It was also an extremely famous place in the entire Dao World. Di Jiu’s main goal for coming here was to hear First Evolution Dao Sect Yan Yun’s Dao discussion a month later.

He could not undergo a Dao Modeling now, even though he had seen how Zhuo Wujia had done so. He had no idea about the Dao Modeling whatsoever.

The reason that Zhuo Wujia had been able to undergo the Dao Modeling was that he had learned from his Nomological Dao. Di Jiu could not undergo the Dao Modeling in the same way that Zhuo Wujia had. Otherwise, it would be akin to wasting his nomological cultivation technique.

The First Evolution Sacred Dao City was packed with people these days. It was clear that the absolute majority of the cultivators came here to listen to the First Evolution Dao Sect Patriarch Yan Yun’s Dao discussion.

Di Jiu had asked dozens of inns in one go before finding a place to stay in the North Dao Immortal Inn. The accommodation cost for these few days was astonishingly expensive. Even though it was not a high-end inn, a night cost him 1,000 high-grade divine crystals.

Di Jiu sighed silently. Fortunately, he had sold part of his Stacked Partition Herbs. Otherwise, he probably could not have forked out divine crystals for accommodation.

“Senior, the First Evolution Sacred Dao City will hold a huge auction house in seven days. If you want to take part, I can help you purchase a ticket.” The inn assistant who had helped Di Jiu arrange his accommodation spoke before he handed Di Jiu his room jade card.

Auction house? When Di Jiu thought of the millions of high-grade divine crystals he had on him, he realized he might be able to have a look. There would definitely be quality items in an auction house where experts congregated.

Just as Di Jiu was about to ask him to help him purchase a ticket to the auction on his behalf, he heard a voice behind him. “Are there any more rooms here? Arrange one for me.”

Di Jiu subconsciously turned his head around. When he saw the cultivator standing beside him, his heart thumped.

This fellow looked somewhat familiar. However, his cultivation level seemed like a vast ocean that did not allow anyone to come into contact with it. How could he be familiar?

Oh, that’s right. The heptagonal Dao Seed. There was a heptagonal Dao Seed aura, as if this person had passed it down.

Di Jiu’s heart sank. Could the heptagonal Dao Seed be his? Soon, Di Jiu realized that it was not. Since Di Jiu had the Dao Seed, this person should have been seriously injured. However, his strength was unfathomable. Therefore, the heptagonal Dao Seed could not be his.
