Chapter 653 - The Cultivation Partners Fighting in the Void
In just two months, Ding Chi realized that he had a deeper understanding of a Dao discussion with Di Jiu than after entering reclusive cultivation.
When any Dao force reached Di Jiu, success would flow naturally and they would have a perfect interpretation.
Di Jiu did not conceal anything. As long as Ding Chi had doubts about something, he would provide an explanation. There was nothing to conceal. Ding Chi had followed him and only understood in advance some Dao forces that he could have understood many years later.
One day, when the two of them were about to have a Dao discussion, spatial fluctuations erupted in the void and even spread to Di Jiu’s flying boat.
“There is a fight.” Ding Chi hurriedly stood up.
Di Jiu, who slowed down the flying boat, had seen the fight. Ever since he had exited the Dao World and entered this void, this was the second time he saw other cultivators.
The first time, two women had tried to rob him and ended up giving him the spatial locational jade slip. Nevertheless, Di Jiu had made them use a top-notch spatial escape talisman.
This time, he saw a man and a woman having a fight. When Di Jiu sensed the spatial fluctuation of this fight, he knew that the two of them were at the late-stage Dao Transformation or even at the perfected Dao Transformation.
When the two of them saw Di Jiu’s flying boat approach, they stopped fighting.
If they had not obtained the spatial location of the void, Di Jiu might have asked these two for directions. However, now that he knew the spatial location of the void, he did not have any intention of asking. He slowed down the flying boat simply because he did not wish to make a detour.
Di Jiu had noticed that the two of them were not on good terms. As for why they were fighting, it was probably due to conflicting views that existed between them.
“Thank you.” Luan Wenxing held up the wine cup. “I’m Luan Wenxing, and this is my cultivation partner, Ji Lingzhu. It’s not been very long since we left the Void City.”
After a simple introduction, they held their wine cups up and drained the contents in one gulp as though wanting to drink away the sadness in them with one shot.
Ding Chi had drunk Di Jiu’s wine more than once. After Luan Wenxing drained the wine, he was immediately stunned.
Upon seeing Luan Wenxing, Ji Lingzhu stood up all of a sudden. Before she could say anything, Luan Wenxing shouted excitedly, “This is good wine! Brother Di, is this the divine spirit wine made by Dao fruit?”
At that moment, he could sense the circulation of his Dao runes become more perfected.
Di Jiu replied, “Yes. Not too long ago, I obtained a few Dao fruits and used them to make this wine.”
When Ji Lingzhu heard Luan Wenxing’s words, she sat down awkwardly. She had thought that there was something wrong with the wine Di Jiu had given them. After hearing Luan Wenxing, she flushed a little. Not everyone could bear to part with their Dao fruit wine to receive their guests.
Luan Wenxing looked at Ji Lingzhu with some reproach before telling Di Jiu, “Brother Di, thank you for taking out such a good wine.”
Even though this was the first time they’d met, he had taken out the Dao fruit wine to receive them. Luan Wenxing had never met such a person.
Di Jiu once again poured wine for Luan Wenxing and said, “Brother Luan, you are really warm-hearted. You took the initiative to remind me what I should take note of in the Void City. My wine is nothing.”
Luan Wenxing laughed. “Brother Di, you are really earnest. We are both from the Sacred Dao World. Back then, Senior Sacred Emperor Ye restored the Sacred Dao World and the people unprecedentedly gathered. I only reminded you of a couple of things, Brother Di. That simply is nothing.”
Di Jiu replied awkwardly, “Brother Luan, I’m not from the Sacred Dao World. I’m from somewhere else.”
Luan Wenxing looked at Di Jiu in surprise. “Brother Di, you’re from the Human Clan, right?”
Luan Wenxing did not wait for Di Jiu to answer. He instead patted his head. “Look at me. Could the Human Clan be in the Sacred Dao World? Brother Di, many cultivators who go to the Sacred Dao World for the first time want to seek the Dao pills just like us. We managed to obtain a Heaven Essence Fruit in the Divine Tomb Mystic Area. When we came to the Sacred Dao World, we were deceived…”
Di Jiu asked in surprise, “Deceived by the Heaven Essence Fruit?”
Although Luan Wenxing was honest, wasn’t it ridiculous to be deceived by a Heaven Essence Fruit?
Luan Wenxing sighed and said, “There are indeed a few Alchemy Saints in the Void City. However, there are very few true Primordial Dao Alchemy Saints or even none. Lingzhu made friends with someone in the Void City who knew a top-notch Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint. Lingzhu insisted on handing the Heaven Essence Fruit to someone else to refine it into a Heaven Essence Dao Pill. I could not stop her…”
Di Jiu saw Ji Lingzhu lower her head as she sat aside. He wondered how this woman could have cultivated the perfected Dao Transformation. When someone else had said they could refine the Primordial Dao Pills, she had handed the only Heaven Essence Fruit over?
As he thought about it, he could somewhat understand why Ji Lingzhu had done so. As an Alchemy Saint, he could not understand the ordeal of being unable to turn the Dao fruit into the Dao pill. It was like when he’d opened the Alchemy and Weapon Pavilion but nobody had come to find him for alchemy purposes. That Dao Modeling cultivator had probably accepted Ji Lu’s recommendation and come to find him for his alchemy.
At the same time, Di Jiu understood what was going on. He was sure that Luan Wenxing had told Ji Lingzhu off and she’d felt somewhat regretful and sad. As a result, she had ended up in a fight with Luan Wenxing.
