Ninth In the World

Di Jiu chuckled and said while gesturing with his hands, “Talk about the cultivation level later. Is Jiang Dai in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City?”

Ding Chi looked at Di Jiu in shame. “Brother Di, I’ve implicated you. You’ve misunderstood. I was not trapped by Jiang Dai’s people. Those two fellows were two Dao Transformation cultivators of the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary and I’ve offended their Young Pavilion Lord. Jiang Dai is not in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City. The arrest warrant on you was also issued a few years ago.”

Di Jiu frowned. The Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary? It looked like he had offended another new power. However, he did not care. Being timid was not his Dao.

“How many are at the Primordial Chaos in the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary?” Di Jiu promptly asked when he finally reacted.

Primordial Dao Sacred Emperors should no longer pose a threat to him, but Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors would. If there were Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors, he could only choose to leave.

Ding Chi answered, “There are three Pavilion Lords in the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary. I heard that the Head Pavilion Lord is a Primordial Chaos expert while the Second Pavilion Lord and Third Pavilion Lord are half-step Primordial Chaos experts. However, these three Pavilion Lords are not in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City. I heard that they have gone to the Void City with many other experts of the Dark Red Sacred Dao City.”

“The Void City?” Di Jiu asked in confusion. Since so many experts went to the Void City, this showed that there was definitely good stuff there.

Ding Chi nodded and replied, “Yes, the Void City. It is rumored that a Dao Fruit Pagoda will open after a certain time. They went to the Void City for the sake of finding top-notch Dao fruits. That Dao Fruit Pagoda has nine levels, and I heard that there are even Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Fruits.”

Di Jiu breathed in cold air. Although he had a pile of Dao fruits and even a Dao fruit garden, they were Dao fruits below the Primordial Dao. The best Dao fruit was the Purple Heaven Fruit and the Thunder Time Fruit. The Purple Heaven Fruit was only used to refine the Purple Heaven Pill that a Dao Birth cultivator could use to advance to the Dao Transformation. On the other hand, the Thunder Time Fruit was a nomological Dao fruit used to gain insight into the time law.

The Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Fruit was a top-notch Dao fruit that could allow a cultivator to gain insight into the Primordial Chaos Realm. Once this appeared, the entire Dao World would fight over it.

“How do I get to the Void City?” Di Jiu subconsciously asked.

Ding Chi shook his head. “I don’t know. However, I am aware that it’s very hard to go there.”

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “Forget it. Tell me how you offended the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary.”

Ding Chi sighed. “It’s because a friend of mine was kicked into the Void Ocean by Ang Yuan and ended up perishing. I wanted to plead on my friend’s behalf but I angered Ang Yuan. Speaking of that, I got to know that friend because of you…”

“Me?” Di Jiu looked at Ding Chi in confusion.

Even though Ding Chi and he were being chased by Jiang Dai at the same time, he did not know Ding Chi at all.

“That friend is called Xue Yu…”

When Ding Chi mentioned that name, Di Jiu responded in shock, “Xue Yu was killed by Ang Yuan?”

Ding Chi nodded his head sadly and started explaining why Xue Yu had been kicked into the Void Ocean by Ang Yuan. It turned out that after Xue Yu had seen Di Jiu’s arrest warrant in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City, he had been somewhat stunned. In the end, he had taken the initiative to talk to Xue Yu, which was how the two of them had met.

When Xue Yu had found out that Jiang Dai was currently not in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City, he had left a Spiritual Force imprint behind for Di Jiu. He’d hoped that Di Jiu would reach the Dark Red Sacred Dao City soon so that he could tell him about this.

After Xue Yu had met Ding Chi, the two of them had lived in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City together. They would usually go to the Void Ocean to search for some Heaven Earth treasures.

A year later, the two of them had discovered that the Void Ocean indeed contained a lot of treasures. However, they could not obtain these treasures. Apart from some that were produced by the Void Ocean, some were brought by other cultivators.

Their cultivation level was too low and no power was backing them up. If they wanted to attain the second step in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City, it would not be as simple as it was rumored to be.

That morning, both Xue Yu and Ding Chi had planned to go to the Void Ocean to search for some opportunities. Before going, the two of them had gone to the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary. Their goal had been to only purchase some elixir pills.

Unexpectedly, the two of them had discovered that a young female Dao Birth cultivator in the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary had been selling fake Dao fruit and had been arrested by the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary. They’d even wanted to remove all her cultivation.

Xue Yu had told Ding Chi through a voice transmission that the Dao fruit that the female Dao Birth cultivator had sold was actually not fake. However, the Surplus Ocean Commercial Building’s shop assistant wanted to secretly take away the female cultivator’s Dao fruit. Therefore, he was framing her on purpose. After the voice transmission, Xue Yu had taken the initiative to step forward to talk about it, saying that this female Dao Birth cultivator had taken out a real Dao fruit and pointing out where that shop assistant had hidden it.

Then, Young Pavilion Lord Ang Yuan of the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary had come. After hearing about it, he’d confined Xue Yu without hesitation and pinched him by his neck, throwing him into the Void Ocean and not allowing him to climb up to the shore.

Upon hearing this, Di Jiu erupted in anger. He knew why Xue Yu would do that and was definitely influenced by him. Di Jiu had stayed behind to mend the Defense Array for the Dao World alone, and Xue Yu had certainly believed he could not do so. If he did not speak up for the unfairness before him, it would be too much.

After explaining, Ding Chi sighed and said, “When Xue Yu stepped out to prove it, he sent me a voice transmission. He dared to do that because of you. Compared to you, he thinks that he is selfish enough. If he did not stand up to the unfairness before him, he would not be fit to be friends with you.”

It turned out that he had been right indeed.

Di Jiu looked inside the Dark Red Sacred Dao City. He then turned his head and told Ding Chi, “I want to go to the Dark Red Sacred Dao City to take a look. Do you want to come along?”

Ding Chi answered without hesitation, “We naturally have to go together.”

Even if there was someone at the second step in the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary now, Di Jiu would still have gone over without hesitation. If he was a coward, he would not have pleaded for Xue Yu. After all, he knew that as long as he pleaded for him, he would very likely have the same fate as Xue Yu.

“Oh, that’s right. Where is the female cultivator saved by Xue Yu?” Di Jiu suddenly asked when he entered the Dark Red Sacred Dao City.

He had gone over because Ding Chi had said that there were no Primordial Chaos experts in the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary. Otherwise, he definitely would not have headed over. Even if he wanted to take revenge, he had to first attain the Primordial Dao Realm.

Ding Chi shook his head. “When Ang Yuan came in to capture Xue Yu, she used this chance to escape. I saw that clearly. She did not dare to say anything or even leave behind a word.”

Ding Chi clearly sighed as he thought of Xue Yu. Not only had the person saved not cared about her savior’s life, but she had also escaped immediately. Xue Yu’s death had been unworthy.

Di Jiu frowned but did not say anything.

The cultivators, who stood in a circle and watched, saw Di Jiu and Ding Chi enter the city. They seemed to be walking toward the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary, so they followed them.

What kind of place was the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary? Not only had this new fellow dared to destroy the arrest warrant at the city gate, but he had also dared to go to the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary. He was simply impressive.

…

The Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary was certainly considered a big commercial building in the Dark Red Sacred Dao City. Each of the five stories was set up in a sumptuous, extremely luxurious manner.

“Perhaps Ang Yuan has some urgent matters to attend to. Otherwise, he probably would have called us over long ago,” Ding Chi said as he stood at the entrance of the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary.

“Let’s forget about him and go in first.” While saying that, Di Jiu stepped into the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary. At the same time, he constantly set up nomological array flags.

“May I ask what kind of elixir pills you want to purchase?” a shop assistant who approached with a wide smile asked Di Jiu, as though he had not recognized Ding Chi, who was beside Di Jiu.

Di Jiu chuckled and patted the front desk. “Not bad. Didn’t my friend leave two Heaven Essence Fruits here in the morning? He wanted to refine Heaven Essence Dao Pills. However, I am a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint myself, and my friend planned to take these two Heaven Essence Fruits back. There is no need for you to refine them anymore.”

“What? Heaven Essence Fruits?” The shop assistant was struck dumb. Heaven Essence Fruits were very precious. How could they be obtained easily? Besides, leaving them in another Elixir Dispensary and asking someone to refine them was unlikely.

“Friend, the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary did not receive your Heaven Essence Fruits.” The shop assistant’s face sank as he spoke straightforwardly.
