Ninth In the World

“Big Brother Di, what should I do now?” Ling Xiaoshuang had somewhat believed Di Jiu’s words, as she really did have something on her that was found in the Chaos Realm. Unfortunately, this thing was not in her ring but in her Spiritual Sea.

If what Di Jiu had said was true, her ring very likely had not self-exploded. It had been taken by Jiu You. However, she was unwilling to speculate and think the worst of others, not to mention that she’d always thought that Jiu You had saved her.

Di Jiu replied with a smile, “Very simple. Restore your strength before Jiu You comes out of seclusion.”

Ling Xiaoshuang’s eyes darkened. If what Di Jiu had said was true, Jiu You would definitely come out of seclusion soon. However, her injuries had kept getting worse by the day for thousands of years. How could she restore her strength?

“Big Brother Di, although the Starry Sky Tea is good for me, it won’t take a day or two. Furthermore, the Starry Sky Tea can’t completely cure me. It can only slow down my degeneration,” Ling Xiaoshuang said a bit decadently.

Di Jiu took out a jade bottle and placed it before Ling Xiaoshuang while saying, “Try it with this.”

Puzzled, Ling Xiaoshuang opened the jade bottle and shouted in shock, “Starry Sky Dao Pills? These are even special-class…”

Not only were the Starry Sky Dao Pills special-class, but there were also three of them.

One such pill was priceless. No. They were precious Dao pills that could not be bought with money, yet there were three of them before her.

Ling Xiaoshuang knew that if she swallowed these three Dao pills, her Dao foundation would immediately recover and her Dao runes would open.

However, she still did not swallow them. Instead, she looked at Di Jiu and shook her head. “I’m sorry, Big Brother Di. I can’t buy these three Starry Sky Dao Pills even with all I have.”

She also knew why Di Jiu had given her three Starry Sky Dao Pills. It was because her cultivation level was already at the early-stage Dao Integration. Without the three Starry Sky Dao Pills, she could not recover at all.

Not minding, Di Jiu said, “You don’t have to worry. Just take them. I refined these three Starry Sky Dao Pills. Plus, after you recover, you can help me. Otherwise, I’m afraid I can only escape.”

Without a Dao Integration expert around, Di Jiu would not mind even though he was injured. However, Dao Integration expert Jiu You was about to come out of seclusion in the Winter Valley. Di Jiu had to consider his own safety.

“I understand…” Ling Xiaoshuang looked at Di Jiu and said excitedly, “It’s no wonder you said that you’re not a Primordial Dao Alchemy Deity. You’re actually a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint.”

Di Jiu did not deny it. “That’s right. I’m indeed a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint.”

Upon hearing that Di Jiu was a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint and had refined special-class Starry Sky Dao Pills, Ling Xiaoshuang knew that she had not misjudged him. Given his standard, he was soon going to become a Primordial Chaos Alchemy Saint or he might even attain the level of one.

She nodded her head and swallowed the three Starry Sky Dao Pills.

“Quickly! Perform the Qi Circulation and let the Starry Sky Dao Pills restore your Dao foundation.” While saying that, Di Jiu stood up and lifted his hand to set up array flags.

Even though this was a cave abode, thanks to Di Jiu’s array flags, he took out a supreme-grade divine spirit meridian and placed it in the void.

A 1,000-feet-long supreme-grade divine spirit meridian had been placed into the cave abode’s void by Di Jiu, and nothing could be seen from outside.

Upon swallowing the Dao pill, Ling Xiaoshuang sensed her degenerating Dao foundation rapidly getting restored while the stagnant Dao runes were rapidly circulating. The Dao auras once again encircled her.

Even though Ling Xiaoshuang had never liked being surprised by foreign objects, she could not help crying at the moment. Even though she did not have the Divine Spirit Qi to promote her cultivation, she was satisfied. After all these years, she finally saw hope.

Very soon, she realized that her way of thinking was not right. Not only did this place have the Divine Spirit Qi to promote her cultivation, but there was also an unending stream of Divine Spirit Qi, just like a supreme-grade divine spirit meridian flowing backward above her head.

How could Ling Xiaoshuang let this opportunity pass? She absorbed the Divine Spirit Qi frantically. While she was facilitating the Dao runes and restoring her Dao foundation, she accelerated the improvement of her cultivation.

Di Jiu felt an intense change of the nomological aura in the surrounding Heaven and Earth. Without hesitation, he took out four Five-Direction Flags to seal this entire space.

He could not let the people in the Winter Valley see Ling Xiaoshuang restore her Dao Integration strength. Otherwise, there would be serious trouble.

Ling Xiaoshuang began to restore her strength madly, and Di Jiu did not stop. He grabbed hundreds of tea leaves and put them in the jade kettle. As he was about to make tea, he suddenly thought of the Creation Wood in his world. If the tea refined from the Creation Cauldron was so heaven-defying, what about the original Creation Wood?

When he thought of this, Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force immediately landed in the Ninth World and connected to a 10-feet-tall Creation Wood Tree.

After Di Jiu’s intent was sent to the Creation Wood Tree, leaves started to automatically fall from the tree.

Di Jiu took the Creation Wood Tree Leaves and put them with the Starry Sky Tea Leaves. The tea was made with a strong, thriving life-force aura. That kind of Starry Sky life-force aura shook Di Jiu’s state of mind.

He did not hesitate to take the teapot and drink half of it while the extinguished life-force aura rapidly moistened his injured body and meridians.

Di Jiu was aware of his current situation. Therefore, he did not hesitate to drink all the remaining tea and even swallow the Creation Wood Leaves.

While he was frantically performing Qi Circulation, the supreme-grade divine spirit meridian that had been absorbed by Ling Xiaoshuang watered down as if breaching its dikes.

Di Jiu felt his injury disappear quickly and his cultivation level got restored at the fastest speed possible, even faster than Ling Xiaoshuang’s recovery.

At the same time, Ling Xiaoshuang also felt different. Her cultivation had been restored extremely quickly. At that moment, Di Jiu began to cultivate and the surrounding Heaven Earth Law became clear at once.

She had cultivated to this day and had seen many cultivation mystic areas. However, it had never been like this. Besides the strong Divine Spirit Qi, the surrounding Heaven Earth Law was really clear.

The Dao foundation, which usually required more than ten days to be completely restored, was restored in only half a day. Ling Xiaoshuang’s strength also reached the perfected Primordial Chaos directly, but her Dao runes were still climbing up wildly. She knew that this was because she had been at Dao Integration before getting injured. As long as she continued like this, she would be able to restore her Dao Integration strength.

She fully understood that this strength was Di Jiu’s doing. Di Jiu’s cultivation technique could actually benefit the people around him. Not only did this make Ling Xiaoshuang feel excited, but it also made her emotional.

This was not the first time she had met an expert like him, who was favored by Heaven. This was a great opportunity for her.

…

Frowning, Yin Yueshu stood at the entrance of Di Jiu’s cave abode. Outside the cave abode, a sign had been hung up, warning people not to disturb him while he was in seclusion. This made her feel very helpless.

Once a cultivator hung up this sign, even if she was on good terms with them, she could not invade their space.

“Master Yueshu, Alchemy Master Di took my female servant inside and has yet to come out of seclusion. This is simply…” Su Nuo’s voice came, sounding a little bit like a complaint.

Yin Yueshu smiled. “Ah Jiu is really naughty. After we go back, I really need to have a nice talk with him.”

“My master invited him to join the Winter Valley, but he did not refuse.” Su Nuo also smiled.

Indifferent, Yin Yueshu responded, “He will definitely go back with me. Do you know why he came to the Heavenly Moon Sacred Dao City?”

“Why?” Su Nuo subconsciously asked.

“Ha ha ha ha!” Yin Yueshu was about to answer when unsophisticated, mad laughter was heard.

This laughter came from the Winter Pine Peak that was located deep within the Winter Valley. In an instant, the entire Winter Valley knew about it.

“Winter Valley’s Grand Elder Jiu is out of seclusion!” shouted Su Nuo excitedly, her eyes filled with pleasant surprise.

Yin Yueshu frowned. If Jiu You was out of seclusion, her plan would face some trouble.
