Chapter 203: Han Qingyi

So this was Ji Hongchuan’s Senior Sister. Although the lady had spoken impolitely, judging by her powerful aura, she was an expert who was at least at the Ekayāna Tripod Realm.

Although he was not worried that she would kill him on the Five Continent Square, Di Jiu was still cautious. He did not answer her.

“That’s him, Senior Sister Qingyi. If it hadn’t been for that step of his, I would definitely not have been teleported out of the 90th level. I still have no clue as to what that step was about.” Ji Hongchuan had already walked over.

He did not want his Senior Sister to take revenge for him. He did not care about someone like Di Jiu, yet he could not understand how Di Jiu’s leg had been able to kick at his face. Besides, he had failed to complete the mission the sect had entrusted him with, which had been to reach the 100th level. Therefore, he had to provide a reasonable explanation.

The lady’s face remained calm. She was not angry that Di Jiu was ignoring her. “Throw away your saber,” she said once again. “You will not be allowed to use a saber again in the future. Remember, only Ji Hongchuan qualifies to carry a saber on his back. Also, use your leg and kick out for me. I want to see.”

Di Jiu was so angry that he laughed. He had never seen a lady as wondrous as this one. Thus, he shrugged cautiously. “I know about your origins, Young Mistress. You must have been sent here by that monkey. I’ve heard of his name before. He is the Monkey King. I also know that your surname is Bai, and you were beaten up by that monkey thrice.”

Who was the Monkey King? As she frowned, the lady said coolly, “I don’t know any monkeys. My surname is not Bai either…”

Suddenly, a handprint sliced through space and smacked Di Jiu.

Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force had already been paying attention to the surrounding spatial fluctuations. Thus, the moment the lady’s handprint extended, his Heavenly Aqua Saber was already in his hand. Di Jiu immediately slashed down.

A blue rainbow tore through space. When the blue rainbow slashed out, it was immediately blocked by a giant handprint. The violent Quintessential Essence was unable to find a way out, so it backtracked along with the saber intent.

The blue rainbow saber flare dissipated. Meanwhile, Di Jiu opened his mouth, spat out a fountain of blood and retreated several hundred feet.

This lady was really powerful. Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force suddenly captured the arrival of an expert, so he hastily put the Heavenly Aqua Saber behind his back again.

“Eh!” The purple-robed lady must not have expected that a mere Void Spirit Realm weakling like Di Jiu would be able to escape from her handprint. His saber move also contained a powerful saber intent aura.

She might have forced Di Jiu back without much difficulty and crushed his saber intent, but that was because her strength surpassed Di Jiu’s by far. There seemed to be some discrepancies in what her master had said. She had been told that all cultivators in the outside world were weak.

“Fairy Qingyi, please do not fight in the Five Continent Square,” said a gray-robed deacon politely as he landed beside Di Jiu and cupped his fists before the lady.

Di Jiu now understood why no one had sought Ji Hongchuan out, even though he had also ascended to the 90th level. It was because that punk had strong support. Di Jiu, who had no support whatsoever, was sought out without any courtesy.

He had not expected that, after respectfully telling the lady not to fight, the gray-robed deacon would turn around towards him and yell, “How dare you actually fight on the Five Continent Square! Follow me to the Five Continent Square Law Enforcement Office!”

Di Jiu was dumbfounded. The weak were indeed not treated as humans. That lady had made the first move. He had only been defending himself. Was the gray-robed deacon blind?

“I need to see that saber of his,” Ji Hongchuan said suddenly.

The gray-robed deacon hurriedly cupped his fists and said, “Rest assured, Young Master Ji. This man used his saber on the Five Continent Square, so I was about to confiscate it.”

Although the rest was left unsaid, Di Jiu heard it loud and clear. The deacon meant that he would confiscate Di Jiu’s saber and give it to Ji Hongchuan.

Di Jiu sighed silently. Would he have to flee once again when he had just entered the Five Continent City? He had rented a cave abode at the Five Continent Pavilion for a year.

A man with tanned skin and a long face appeared in Di Jiu’s line of vision. With a flash of his figure, Di Jiu arrived beside the long-haired man in a few steps. He immediately bowed and said, “Greetings, Senior Sect Master.”

The gray-robed cultivator was outraged when he saw Di Jiu escape right in front of him. Before he could explode in anger, he noticed the long-haired man as well. Anxious, he hurriedly headed over and bowed. “Five Continent Dao Convention Square Deacon Chang Ping greets Sect Master Yan.”

The long-haired man glanced at Chang Ping before his eyes landed on Di Jiu. “So it’s you. Good, good… Your cultivation has improved. However, your strength is still too lacking to casually use your weapon on the Five Continent Square without reason.”

“Thank you for your teachings, Sect Master. I promise not to use my weapon if no one actively attacks me,” Di Jiu replied quickly.

When he heard his reply, the long-haired man nodded in surprise. “You may retreat.”

“Yes.” Di Jiu was relieved. He had not been wrong. The Sect Master of the Purple Thunder Sect had indeed helped him out.

Di Jiu had just retreated when the long-haired man said, “That lady was Han Qingyi, the successor of the True Dominion. Don’t mess with her for no reason.”

Chang Ping was a little unnerved. He had not expected that Di Jiu, who looked like a weakling, would know the Purple Thunder Sect Master.

Before Chang Ping could speak up again, Yan Xueyi said coolly, “You may retreat as well.”

“Yes, yes.” Chang Ping dared not mess with Di Jiu or Han Qingyi right now.

Di Jiu had originally wanted to head to the auction array screen. However, due to the appearance of that lady and the gray-robed deacon, he did not stay on the Five Continent Square.

He was still very far from attaining the second-stage Void Spirit Realm. The cultivation realm and strength of both Ji Hongchuan and Han Qingyi far surpassed his, even though they looked quite young.

He had to head back and enter reclusive cultivation for a while.

Upon arriving at the Five Continent Pavilion, Di Jiu saw the same informative auction banner. This auction was jointly organized by the Five Continent Pavilion and the Prophecy Pavilion. The first piece of information, which made Di Jiu get excited, was about a Geocentric Flame Crystal. This was a Level-Nine material, something that Di Jiu was in desperate need of.

Thanks to the Geocentric Flame Crystal Master Qian Fenghua had given him, his Dao fire had been upgraded from Level Three to Level Five. This type of material was so rare that Di Jiu would naturally not miss an opportunity to obtain it.

The second item was a 1,000-Year Stalagmite Pith. Di Jiu knew that it could produce a Spirit Root. However, it also had another heaven-defying function: it could purify poisonous elixirs.

The reason Di Jiu had always consumed very limited elixirs was because he was worried that poisonous elixirs would affect his Dao foundation. If he obtained the 1,000-Year Stalagmite Pith, he wouldn’t fear poisonous elixirs anymore.

The difference between using and not using elixirs to help along the cultivation progress was huge. This help also included supreme-grade Spirit Weapon Dharma treasures, Heaven-Tier cultivation techniques, and even flames…

That auction was formidable indeed. Di Jiu walked up to the Five Continent Pavilion’s shop assistant and asked, “May I know when the auction will start?”

The shop assistant looked at the jade card in Di Jiu’s hand. It was an entrance card for the Five Continent Pavilion’s cave abodes. Di Jiu was holding a jade card to a first-class cave abode, so the assistant immediately smiled and said, “The Five Continent Dao Convention will be ending in a few months. Once the convection ends, the Dao Pagoda’s points will be tabulated.”

“How will the points be tabulated?” Di Jiu asked hurriedly. He had ascended to the 90th level, so he should have quite a few points.

The shop assistant did not expect that Di Jiu would not even know about this. If Di Jiu had not been a customer of the Five Continent Pavilion, he would probably have ignored him. “The Dao Pagoda Points are tabulated individually. The points belonging to sect disciples that have ascended the pagoda will be given to those sects. These points will affect the distribution of the mystic area slots in the future. Any cultivator who does not belong to a sect will receive a Five Continent Dao Pagoda card that will record the Five Continent Dao Pagoda Points.”

“How can one redeem the Five Continent Dao Pagoda card?”

“This card cannot be redeemed. When the Five Continent Dao Convention ends, the Dao Pagoda card will appear on the Five Continent Dao Pillar.”

“Can the individual Dao Pagoda card be used to enter the mystic area?”

“Of course. So long as you have sufficient points.”

“Do you know anything about the True Dominion?”

“That is where the ancient hidden sects are. Everyone who comes from these sects is extremely powerful. It’s said that one has to go to the True Dominion to qualify to enter the Immortal World.”

…

Although Di Jiu was a customer of the Five Continent Pavilion, the shop assistant eventually grew impatient. He was asking one question after another, with no end in sight.

Di Jiu, who saw that the shop assistant was growing impatient, asked hurriedly, “One last question. Where can I buy a slot to enter the auction?”

“You can purchase one at the Five Continent Pavilion. Which class of jade card do you intend to purchase?” The shop assistant finally heard the words he’d wanted to hear the most.

“How much does each one cost?” asked Di Jiu.

“The cheapest cabin costs 100,000 high-grade Spirit Stones, and the most expensive one costs one million high-grade Spirit Stones. However, there are no more cabins for sale right now. The cheapest seat in the hall costs 10,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones, while a better seat costs 50,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones…”

“I would like to purchase a hall seat for 50,000 middle-grade Spirit Stones.” Di Jiu sighed. He currently had on him several million high-grade Spirit Stones, so he had thought that he was wealthy. Now, it seemed like he was not.
