Chapter 695: Missing The Opportunity Again

Two days flew by and the Dao Fruit Pagoda was about to close its gates. The battle of Kun Zhi against Di Jiu and Jiao Da, which had taken place on the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square, had destroyed nearly all the stores there. However, no one dared to provoke Di Jiu.

As for the people of the Demon Clan, Di Jiu never saw them again after Kun Zhi, an expert from the Kun Peng Clan, arrived. Di Jiu presumed that Fan Yuan did not dare go there, for if he did, Di Jiu would love to kill him. This would not be the first time he was killing a Primordial Chaos cultivator from the Demon Clan anyway.

Numerous people landed on the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square following the closure of the Dao Fruit Pagoda. Almost all the cultivators who came out looked pleased, which betrayed the abundance of their loot.

Ding Chi, Luan Wenxing, Ji Lingzhu, and Kan Zitong had all survived. The four of them anxiously rushed to Di Jiu’s stall the moment they appeared on the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square.

“Brother Di, I obtained many quality items…” Ding Chi handed a ring to Di Jiu. A scan of his Spiritual Force showed that there were various top-notch valuable Dao fruits inside, such as the Five-Element Heavenly Fruit, the Nirmala Fruit, and the Luminous Glazed Fruit. Di Jiu even saw a Heaven Essence Fruit.

“Good, I shall keep it first. I will refine the elixir pills later. These two bottles of elixir pills are for you. You will find them useful.” Di Jiu put the Dao fruits away happily before taking out a jade bottle and passing it to Ding Chi.

“I have some with me as well…”

Luan Wenxing, Ji Lingzhu, and Kan Zitong each took out a ring and handed it to Di Jiu.

Di Jiu briefly scanned the rings with his Spiritual Force. Inside the rings were Dao fruits of good quality. This showed that the three of them were people worth becoming friends with.

Di Jiu took out three jade bottles, giving one to Luan Wenxing, one to Ji Lingzhu, and one to Kan Zitong respectively. Then, he took out another jade bottle and gave it to Jiao Da’s disciple. He called out to Jiao Da, who was about to leave, and said, “Daoist Jiao, you don’t need to search for the Heaven Essence Fruit anymore! Such Dao fruits cannot be easily found and purchased at the market. I have already given one to your disciple.”

The five of them, including Ding Chi, hastily opened the jade bottle they were carrying. They were ecstatic when they saw two Heaven Essence Fruits within their bottles. Two Heaven Essence Fruits would give them a 90 percent chance of attaining the Primordial Dao Realm, so long as they accumulated enough cultivation experience.

Before Jiao Da could speak, Di Jiu turned to Ding Chi and said, “Wait for me outside and help me get some business. I will head inside to refine elixir pills.”

Di Jiu was a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint. Combined with his nomological alchemy arts and Nomological Qi Circulations, his speed of refining elixir pills was extraordinarily fast. Within a short time, he had finished helping Ding Chi and the rest refine all the Dao pills.

At that moment, thanks to Ding Chi and company’s promotion, a few cultivators had come by the store to inquire about the refining method of the Dao pills.

At Di Jiu’s store, one Dao fruit could be exchanged for four Dao pills, and no supplementary divine spirit herbs were required.

This price was definitely the cheapest in the Void City and in this entire realm.

At first, someone took out a Buddha Willow Fruit to ask Di Jiu to refine a Buddha Willow Divine Eye Pill. When Di Jiu successfully refined the Pill, the number of cultivators seeking his help increased.

Later on, Di Jiu also received Heaven Essence Fruits. Only four hours had passed, yet he had already collected a huge pile of Dao fruits. However, he was disappointed to discover that he had received very few Dao fruits from the Dao Fruit Pagoda. The Dao fruits he had received were of a limited variety. Also, he did not receive any Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Fruits.

To Di Jiu, who was a late-stage Primordial Dao Realm cultivator, only the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Fruit had some value. The other Dao fruits were not noteworthy.

Di Jiu continuously handed away various Dao pills and even some Heaven Essence Dao Pills. This caused the entire Dao Fruit Pagoda Square to enter a frenzy as the cultivators present swarmed to Di Jiu’s stall.

However, Di Jiu knew that he needed to leave now. If he stayed there, he might become prey for the experts of the Kun Peng Clan.

“We can leave now, Brother Di.” Jiao Da also knew that it would be too late if they did not leave now.

Di Jiu nodded his head, put the stall away, and said, “The business is closed for the day. Everyone, we’ll meet again.”

Some cultivators who had yet to seek Di Jiu’s help panicked upon hearing that Di Jiu was about to leave. Coming here was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint, and it was a great fortune to be able to meet one.

Di Jiu, who did not care about what these cultivators were thinking, left the Void City without hesitation with the others.

No one dared to stop Di Jiu from leaving the city. The cultivators who had missed their chance could only wallow in regret.

…

“What are your plans, Brother Di?” inquired Jiao Da anxiously when they left the Void City.

Di Jiu felt that Jiao Da was a sincere man worth being friends with. Therefore, he told him the truth. “I intend to search for a place to enter seclusion. Then, I will head back home for a while.”

“Brother Di, let’s go to Heaven and Earth Outer Heaven. There, we will have the opportunity to attain the Dao Integration Realm and reach the third step.” Jiao Da stared at Di Jiu with eyes that were burning passionately.

In the past, he had not gone to Heaven and Earth Outer Heaven and had missed out on too many things as a result. This time, he had to go with Di Jiu. Di Jiu was the only expert he had encountered that could match Ye Mo. One could have the opportunity to become an expert by staying by such an expert’s side.

Di Jiu clapped Jiao Da on the shoulder. “Brother Jiao, I intend to make a trip to Outer Heaven in the future. I will definitely invite you to come along then.”

“Good, good. You must not forget me, Brother.” Upon saying that, Jiao Da hurriedly took out and handed a gigantic communication pearl to Di Jiu.

The communication pearl was almost as big as a watermelon. Di Jiu held onto it and looked at Jiao Da speechlessly. “Brother Jiao, your communication pearl is indeed unique.”

Jiao Da said with some embarrassment, “I was worried that you wouldn’t be able to find me if the communication pearl was small, so I gave you a big one. I shall take my leave first…”

Jiao Da immediately left, pulling his disciple with him.

Di Jiu understood that Jiao Da was worried that he would give back this communication pearl in exchange for a smaller one. Hence, Jiao Da left in a hurry.

“Brother Di, both of us are very grateful to you. We intend to return to enter reclusive cultivation and attempt to break through to the Primordial Dao Realm,” Luan Wenxing informed Di Jiu with a bow after Jiao Da left.

Kan Zitong said, “Thank you for giving me the Heaven Essence Dao Pill, Brother Di. I also intend to return to the Sacred Dao World, enter seclusion, and attempt breaking through to the Primordial Dao Realm.”

Di Jiu nodded his head. “That’s good. I want to find a place to break through to the Primordial Chaos Realm. Let us meet some other day in the future. What are your plans, Ding Chi?”

“I intend to follow them to the Sacred Dao World and break through to the Primordial Dao Realm.” Ding Chi knew that Di Jiu wanted to find a place to achieve a breakthrough and would naturally not bring him along.

“Alright, we shall meet again in the future then.” Di Jiu took out his communication pearls and exchanged them with the four of them. Then, they went their separate ways.

…

Less than two hours after Di Jiu and company left, Kun Zhi appeared on the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square. Behind him were two tall men whose cultivation auras were as powerful as Kun Zhi’s aura.

“Where is he?” asked one of the cultivators while following Kun Zhi.

Kun Zhi scanned the square with his Spiritual Force before replying with a frown, “We are too late. They already left some time ago.”

“These cultivators of the Human Clan must come from the Sacred Dao World. Let’s go to the Sacred Dao World!” barked one of the two cultivators.

Kun Zhi shook his head. “Di Jiu did not come from the Sacred Dao World. Besides, we can’t head there. The Sacred Dao World belongs to Dao Monarch Ye. If we provoke his wrath, the Kun Peng Clan might just cease to exist. Let’s go. We shall return to the clan and seek the Clan Leader’s help.”

Kun Zhi and company had just left when the black-scarfed woman who had previously cautioned Di Jiu not to set up a store there appeared outside Di Jiu’s store.

She sighed upon seeing that it was empty. She knew that she might have missed out on some opportunities.

It was unexpected that someone would actually refine the Heaven Essence Dao Pill in a small place like the Void City. This was something extremely heaven-defying. After all, the fella whose surname was Ning could not do so in an incomplete realm.
