Chapter 732: Recuperation

At that moment, Su Qianqian’s voice reached every corner of the Winter Valley promptly. “Grand Elder Jiu You of the Winter Valley will come out of seclusion today. He obtained some opportunities in the void before he entered reclusive seclusion. To thank everyone for coming here as guests, he decided to hold a Dao Trade Meeting before the Kui River Mystic Area opens to meet everyone. Then, he will take out several top-notch treasures to give to fellow Daoists.”

Many cultivators were delighted to hear this news from Su Qianqian. Before the Kui River Mystic Area opened each time, a Dao Trade Meeting would be held. This was because those who could go to the Kui River Mystic Area were top-notch geniuses and top-notch experts. Therefore, many treasures that were rarely seen in years would appear at the Dao Trade Meeting.

The Winter Valley was in charge of the Great Ultimate Kui River Mystic Area this time, so they also led the Dao Trade Meeting. At first, there were still a few more days until the Dao Trade Meeting. Since the Winter Valley’s Elder Jiu would come out of seclusion in advance, the Dao Trade Meeting was also pushed forward. Valley Master Su had also said that Elder Jiu used to obtain some treasures in the void. If these treasures were taken out for a transaction, it would be a good thing for everyone.

Di Jiu was in seclusion while Grand Elder Jiu You was coming out of seclusion. Thus, Su Nuo was not in the mood to stay outside Di Jiu’s cave abode. Yin Yueshu also knew that the most important thing now was to search for external aid. Otherwise, it would be useless even if Di Jiu agreed to leave with her.

She could only leave Di Jiu’s cave abode with Su Nuo and prepare to look for external aid. Even if Di Jiu did not take away her Moon Core, she would never let him escape her clutches.

Even though Di Jiu was recuperating with all his might and restoring his strength, he had heard Su Qianqian’s words clearly. He did not mind at all at the moment.

Even if Ling Xiaoshuang did not recuperate, he was confident about bringing her away. He had yet to battle with a Dao Integration cultivator, but he believed that he could completely escape from a Dao Integration cultivator with his escape technique.

…

Although the Winter Pine Peak was not considered the top peak of the Winter Valley, it was the place with the strongest Divine Spirit Qi. In the top hall of the Winter Pine Peak, a tall immortal-like man held up a cup of Divine Spirit Tea happily.

Winter Valley Master Su Qianqian was sitting in the lower seat across from this man.

Su Qianqian could not be any more excited. The reason that the Winter Valley had become one of the top-notch sects of the Great Ultimate Realm was not because she was the Sect Master but because of Grand Elder Jiu You, who was sitting across from her.

There were very few Dao Integration experts in the Great Ultimate Realm, but there was one in the Winter Valley, which contributed to the Winter Valley’s confidence.

After Jiu You drank a mouthful of tea, he said unhurriedly, “When they are all here, we will also go over. Oh, that’s right. How has Ling Xiaoshuang been all these years? Why did I not see her in the main hall?”

Su Qianqian quickly replied, “Elder Jiu, you’re talking about Lou Xiaoshuang, right? She’s now with a Primordial Dao Alchemy Deity.”

Jiu You nodded his head and answered, “You did well by not letting her leave. Actually, she’s Ling Xiaoshuang. Lou Xiaoshuang was just a name that she temporarily gave herself. Call her over here later. After all these years, I don’t think she can escape now. Huh? Did you mention a Primordial Dao Alchemy Deity just now?” Halfway through, Jiu You suddenly realized Su Qianqian had mentioned a Primordial Dao Alchemy Deity.

Not understanding what Jiu You meant, Su Qianqian responded, “Yes, he’s called Di Jiu and he’s extremely young. I suspect that he’s even younger than Su Nuo. However, his Alchemy Dao is very terrifying. With a Dao Birth divine fire and a half-divine cauldron, he refined a cauldron of special-class Divine Cloud Pills in one hour…”

“What?” Jiu You suddenly stood up with a fiery gaze. Even he temporarily set aside Lou Xiaoshuang’s matter.

Su Qianqian also stood up and said with certainty, “This is true. When he performed alchemy, Su Nuo watched from the side and even recorded it with a crystal ball.”

“Let me have a look,” Jiu You immediately said.

Su Qianqian took out a crystal ball. The video of Di Jiu performing alchemy was very clear. Nobody had managed to see his Alchemy Art, but Di Jiu had not deliberately concealed his other movements. Jiu You could see them clearly on this crystal ball.

The more Jiu You watched, the brighter his eyes lit up. He had performed alchemy without the usage of Dao fruits. If Di Jiu had Dao fruits, he would definitely become an absolute Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint. He was a top asset for any sect.

“We cannot let him leave. Where is he now?” After watching the video, Jiu You mentioned keeping Di Jiu.

Su Qianqian quickly replied, “I know. I’ve already invited him to become an Elder of the Winter Valley, but he did not answer me directly. However, after I mentioned that he will have a chance to enter the Kui River Mystic Area, he was somewhat moved. Why don’t we invite him to the Dao Trade Meeting?”

Jiu You took a breath and said slowly, “We definitely can’t let him enter the Kui River Mystic Area. Although it’s a safe place there, the Winter Valley will suffer if anything happens. As for the Dao Trade Meeting, he does not need to attend it. Many top-notch experts will surely come this time, so it won’t be good if he attends.”

“But…” Su Qianqian hesitated before he said, “Many people witnessed Di Jiu practicing alchemy. Right now, probably half of the Great Ultimate Realm knows that he is most likely a Primordial Dao Alchemy Deity.”

Frowning, Jiu You immediately responded, “There might have been trouble before I came out of seclusion, but it’s fine now. What is Di Jiu doing right now? If he truly likes Ling Xiaoshuang, as long as he’s willing to stay in the Winter Valley, I can satisfy him even though he took something that belongs to me. As for Ling Xiaoshuang, I’ll call her over after the Dao Trade Meeting.”

Su Qianqian did not know what Jiu You wanted to take, but she did not ask. Although Jiu You was an Elder, he definitely had a higher status than a Valley Master like her.

“I tried seeing. Di Jiu’s cave abode seems to be covered up, so I can’t see clearly. I can only see two shadows. As for any speech or movement, I can’t hear a thing,” Su Qianqian said.

Jiu You nodded and said indifferently, “That’s correct then. I wouldn’t believe a Primordial Dao Alchemy Deity who didn’t have any Array Dao techniques. Let’s go to the guest hall.”

…

Di Jiu opened his eyes, feeling very satisfied. A pot of Starry Sky Tea and a Creation Wood Leaf had helped him recuperate fully in more than a day, which was faster than Ling Xiaoshuang’s recuperation.

Even though the Starry Sky Tea had great effects, Di Jiu knew very well that the Creation Wood was what had truly worked for him. The Creation Wood was a top epoch-making wood and it had turned out as expected.

His Creation Wood had also grown by ten feet. If it could grow into a huge 100,000-feet tree one day, these minor injuries would be fine thanks to the Creation Wood.

When Di Jiu stopped recuperating, Ling Xiaoshuang let out a long sigh. At the same time, she opened her eyes. Not only was she pleasantly surprised, but she was also indescribably emotional.

She used to think that she would stay like this. In little more than a day, she had fully recuperated. In addition, her cultivation level had been restored to early-stage Dao Integration.

“Big Brother Di, thank you.” Ling Xiaoshuang bowed before Di Jiu. She knew that no matter what she thought of Di Jiu, she could not repay his kindness.

Di Jiu looked at Ling Xiaoshuang in pleasant surprise. The Green Qi on her face had been removed and her essence, Qi, and spirit had been restored. She was superior to Yin Yueshu now. Her beauty was naturally formed, blending together well without being artificial or pretentious. This kind of woman was a woman that Di Jiu admired.

“Not bad. Your Dao runes are circulating naturally and they blend well together. I can see that your cultivation technique is extremely remarkable. Congratulations, Xiaoshuang.” Di Jiu congratulated her.

Ling Xiaoshuang had been restored to early-stage Dao Integration while he was at the half-step Primordial Chaos. Jiu You was considered to be at the late-stage Dao Integration and he had to bear the consequences of failure. As for Su Qianqian and Yin Yueshu, who were at the Primordial Chaos Realm, he would not take them seriously.

Besides, Di Jiu was sure that Jiu You was not at the late-stage Dao Integration. Otherwise, he would not have resorted to sneaking an attack on Ling Xiaoshuang.
