Chapter 883 - The Dao Trade
As Du Zihen watched Di Jiu’s disappearing figure from the back, he said with a long sigh, “You have excellent opportunities, and you also work very hard. Unfortunately, you still have to perish in the hands of my master or Du Mo. I only hope you won’t meet them or will try to meet them as late as possible…”
He accepted Di Jiu’s jade bottle, knowing Di Jiu’s intentions. Di Jiu had received a pot of extraordinary wine from him. He hadn’t gotten along with Di Jiu for a long time but he knew that Di Jiu was not a person who liked to let his friends lose out. Thus, he had to accept what Di Jiu had gifted him.
Du Zihen opened the jade bottle and shouted in shock, “Quintessential Essence of the Universe!”
If there was something that he wanted the most in this universe, that would definitely be the Quintessential Essence of the Universe. Even Du Zihen had never thought that Di Jiu could take out such a precious treasure. Such a thing could not even be described as precious. Even Du Mo might not be able to obtain the Quintessential Essence of the Universe, as this was a treasure that one could get based on opportunity.
Du Zihen cupped his fists while looking in the distance. “Ah Jiu, you’ve helped me greatly. In the future, I’ll save you even if I have to sacrifice my life.”
…
As soon as Di Jiu stepped away from the foot of the Mountain Gaze, he sensed that something was amiss. The place where he had fallen was not the black stone path that had greeted him when he had come, but the square in front of the Dao Abyss’s Dao Trading Hall.
“Brother Di, you’re back?” Dao Lord Po Xu looked at Di Jiu in shock. Although he had been locked there, he still knew what was happening. Thanks to the cultivators who came and went there, he had also heard some news. He had heard that reaching the Mountain Gaze would take at least hundreds of thousands of years. In addition, it would take at least an additional hundreds of thousands of years to come back from the Mountain Gaze.
“Po Xu, how many years have I been away?” Di Jiu had been completely integrated into his own setup of orders when he had reached the Dao Integration in the Mountain Gaze, as his Nomological Dao had yet to be established fully and he had ignored the Heaven Earth Law of the Five-Element Universe. As a result, he wasn’t even aware of the time.
“Alright. I’ll spread the word.” After the cultivator said that, he did not pay attention to Di Jiu again. A trade of connate stuff could indeed attract many experts, but there were too many connate treasures there and nothing that was really rare.
Nevertheless, Di Jiu’s words came into play. In just a short while, almost every cultivator who cultivated in the Dao Abyss understood one thing: Two days later, two connate treasures would appear in the Dao Trading Hall.
The cultivators who had been able to live to this day were not ordinary. If the people there took out a simple thing, they might not even take a look at it, let alone go to the trading hall.
However, connate treasures were also extremely rare. Even some cultivators who were planning to enter seclusion decided to postpone their seclusion and attend this trade meeting first. Even if they couldn’t trade something for such a connate treasure or see what kind of treasure it was, whoever obtained the treasure in the end would benefit.
…
After two days, Di Jiu had hardly seen a single figure on the usual road to the Dao Abyss. As soon as the Dao Trade started this time, he realized that people had come out. They were like ants. If one ant encountered a piece of sugar, the other ants would swarm over.
The door of the Dao Trading Hall opened and many cultivators walked inside in a line. Except for a few cultivators who were still conversing, the other cultivators were in a hurry. If Di Jiu hadn’t been able to sense that each of these people had a powerful aura and Dao runes all over, he would even have wondered whether he was an evil spirit that was entering the trading hall with a group of ghosts.
