Chapter 387: The Heir Of The Star Demon Palace

Di Jiu became famous for the third time in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, or rather the Starry Sky Tea House became famous.

Jie Guangmao, the deputy city lord of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, had to apologize to Di Jiu and compensate him with two million freedom points after manager Hui from the Great Fortune Inn lost his legs.

The Starry Sky Tea was well-known in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, not only because it had a famous manager, Di Jiu, but also because its quality was really good.

The different powers in the city, including the sect masters of large sects, all enjoyed the tea very much. In this part of the universe, if anyone served you using the Starry Sky Tea, it signified that you were an honored guest.

Unfortunately, there was a limited amount of Starry Sky Tea sold every day, so it was extremely difficult to buy it. After the first day, everyone could only buy one box per day.

Just like Jie Huang had said, earning money by selling the Starry Sky Tea was much easier than robbing people.

Although everyone knew that the Starry Sky Tea was very good and deserved to be named the best tea, nobody dared to snatch the Starry Sky Tea House. After all, the failure of manager Hui from the Great Fortune Inn had been the best warning.

Huang Yetian, who had been watching Di Jiu all along, sighed and left the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City sorrowfully after discovering that Di Jiu was with Jie Huang, the young palatial lord of the Star Demon Palace, and had insulted Deputy City Lord Jie. He did not dare do anything to Jie Huang.

It was just his luck that his daughter would be killed. To be honest, the Star Elixir Dispensary was to blame.

The Star Elixir Dispensary was having a hard time too. Cheng Xingren from the Star Elixir Dispensary had one more thing on his mind after discovering that Di Jiu and Jie Huang were together. He was worried that Di Jiu had formed a clique with Jie Huang because he knew that the Star Elixir Building had plotted against him.

“Big Brother, you are really good. I almost tried to kill that fat man at the time. I never expected that you would earn two million freedom points.” Jie Huang took his hat off to Di Jiu. He did not really have a mind of his own. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been stabbed in the back by his friend.

He could feel that Di Jiu did not treat him as a true friend because his father was the palatial lord of the Star Demon Palace. Now that he had a friend like Di Jiu, he did not need to stress himself and worry about things.

When he was needed, he would just roar, “I am going to get my father!”

“Our strength is insufficient. Otherwise, I would not have let off Jie Guangmao if I hadn’t gotten at least 20 million freedom points.” Di Jiu snorted.

He did not feel satisfied, even though he had received compensation and vented his frustration. After all, he had not done this by using his own capabilities. Although he had never seen Jie Wanling, he had kind of guessed that Jie Wanling would not welcome him.

“Big Brother, didn’t I say that I will get my father to come? Just take as much as you want. I will get my father to come if Deputy City Lord Jie does not want to give it to you,” Jie Huang said frantically.

Di Jiu sneered. “You better not bring up your father every time, because I somehow feel that your guess is correct.”

“Ah…” Jie Huang was stunned.

Di Jiu patted Jie Huang’s shoulder. “Unless I am wrong, your father knows that you are hopeless. Otherwise, he would not have confined your mother. Your father did not care about your cultivation in the past and he probably does not care now. Judging from your father’s personality, he must definitely have a successor. Your theory is correct. You probably have a younger brother. Unfortunately, your father did not tell you about your younger brother.

You can threaten others with your father, but your father would not interfere as long as your life is safe. This is why I did not want Deputy City Lord Jie to compensate us too much. Your father may not even come to help you if things turn ugly.”

He did not want Deputy City Lord Jie to compensate them too much because he had guessed that Jie Huang was no longer that important to his father. At the very most, Jie Huang’s father had wanted him to get bullied.

Otherwise, Jie Wanling would have thought of a way to help Jie Huang with his cultivation instead of allowing him to do whatever he wanted. It was impossible for him to allow Jie Huang to go to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. It would be a total joke if Jie Huang could escape from the control of an Immortal Emperor.

Jie Huang felt sorrowful. He knew very well that Di Jiu was right. He had been abandoned by his father. He did not want to face the truth although he had realized it long ago.

“Big Brother, what should I do now?” Jie Huang was helpless.

He was much older than Di Jiu, but his life experiences were incomparable to his.

Di Jiu snorted. “This is not a bad thing for you. What did you gain by being pampered by your father? You only learned how to lead a promiscuous life. Therefore, now that your father is grooming another successor, you should buck up and show your father that it’s his loss for not choosing you. In addition, you are still fooling around at this age and you are unfilial. You cannot even do anything about your mother, who has been confined.”

Jie Huang clenched his fists. He had not understood why his mother had been confined in the beginning. He had continued lying to himself even after he had found out that he had been set up, but Di Jiu had exposed his scar again. It was odd for him to remember the fact that his mother was confined when his father was about to find a new successor.

“This is nothing. It is safe here. I guess no one would have the guts to come and stir up trouble here. I will give you the antidote. Then, you will follow my instructions and cultivate. I believe that one day, you will no longer say that you will call your father all the time. This is not something to be proud of. There is no need to mention it all the time.” Di Jiu regarded Jie Huang as his true friend. Otherwise, he would not have said all those words.

“Big Brother, I will listen to you and follow your instructions from now on,” Jie Huang said without hesitation.

…

100 million li away from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was the Star Demon Palace of the Immortal Land of Moyi. A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe sat on a huge black chair while a male cultivator wearing black clothes stood beneath him. Next to him was a young boy with golden hair.

The middle-aged man set his eyes on the male cultivator in the black clothes and said emotionlessly, “Did you say that Huang’er opened a store in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and shamed Jie Guangmao?”

The man bowed immediately and said in a respectful tone, “Yes, palatial lord. The young palatial lord has opened a tea house with a grade-three alchemy master called Di Jiu. They sell a particular type of immortal spirit tea and the young palatial lord calls Alchemy Master Di his Big Brother. They are very close.”

It was obvious that the man was Jie Huang’s father, Jie Wanling, the palatial lord of the Star Demon Palace and a top-notch expert in the seventh-stage Immortal Emperor Realm.

“How dare a little alchemy master be my son’s Big Brother?” Jie Wanling snorted.

“Do you want to capture him?” the man asked respectfully again.

Jie Wanling waved his hand and said, “No, take your leave first.”

Jie Wanling did not ask about the type of tea Jie Huang was selling or its popularity, as the immortal spirit tea of a small alchemy master was worthless to him.

“Yes.” The man moved behind and left the hall very quickly.

“Father, the bloodline of the Star Demon Palace is really noble. How could big brother call an itinerant cultivator his Big Brother? This is just…” The boy with the golden hair frowned as he whispered.

Jie Wanling sighed. “Forget it. Huang’er’s days are numbered. Just let him do whatever he wants.”

Jie Wanling paused for a moment after saying that. Then, he said gently, “Your big brother is ruined, Cheng’er. Although your cultivation level is higher than your big brother’s, you still need to do a lot more if you want to reach greater heights on the Moyi Mountain Summit. During this period of time, focus on the reclusive cultivation in the Star Demon Lake and attain the Immortal King Realm soon.”

“I know, Father,” the boy said obediently.

…

In the meantime, on the second storey of the Starry Sky Tea House, Di Jiu had checked all of Jie Huang’s meridians and his spiritual sea by using his spiritual force. Jie Huang had absolutely no privacy left.

However, Di Jiu frowned when he realized that the problem was quite dicey. Jie Huang had been poisoned for too long, so even though Di Jiu had the Golden Dao law and understood the Foundation Order reasonably well, he could not identify where Jie Huang’s desire poison was located. In fact, the desire poison did not have a form. It was traceless.

“Big Brother, is there a problem?” Jie Huang asked frantically when he saw Di Jiu frowning.

Di Jiu sighed. Unfortunately, he did not have the Golden Dao law. If he were to use the previous method, the chance of success would not be more than 50 percent.

“I have a new method that can remove your desire poison completely. However…”

“As long as it does not kill me, you can just do whatever you want,” Jie Huang said without hesitation even before Di Jiu had finished his words.

Di Jiu nodded. “It will not kill you. However, my method involves burning you by using flames. That includes your flesh, bones, and even your spiritual sea…”

Jie Huang shuddered. That sounded too intimidating!
