Ninth In the World

Refining a cauldron of grade-nine immortal pills in two hours? He could only sigh at the thought. He was certain that he could not refine grade-nine immortal pills in a year, let alone in two hours.

He had failed to refine grade-nine immortal pills. The reason he did not dare to continue was not because he did not have immortal spiritual herbs. He did not lack any grade-nine immortal spiritual herbs.

It was because he could not discover why he had failed to refine grade-nine immortal pills.

If he found out the reason, he could refine grade-nine immortal pills as long as he practiced and wasted some immortal spiritual herbs at most.

Even if they could not find out the reason, perhaps some Alchemy Master would automatically head towards success with continuous refinement.

However, Di Jiu was different. He had his own Alchemy Dao. As long as he could not find out the reason, he definitely could not refine true grade-nine immortal pills.

If he kept trying continuously with so many immortal spiritual herbs, he might cause a crack in his Alchemy Dao.

Di Jiu remained silent for half a day until the words on the elixir door disappeared. He then took out the remaining five-feet Green Essence Energy Meridian. Right now, he could only cultivate until he became an Immortal Emperor and try to see whether he could refine grade-nine immortal pills after that.

…

Xie Huang from the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent’s Starry Demon Palace paced up and down in the room. His cultivation level had not improved ever since he had separated from Di Jiu.

Xie Huang’s cheeks were wet with tears. He was a sentimental person so, at the moment, he was only filled with regret. He should not have forced Uncle An.

“You don’t have to blame yourself. I originally intended to let you out. Remember, your Big Brother is at the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Peace Hotel…” Shen An’s words disappeared in the flame. Although he had a lot to say, he could not tell Xie Huang.

He was unsatisfied with the way the Palatial Lord had handled this matter, but he could not talk behind his back. He had always guarded the side of the Starry Demon Palace’s Eastern Palace, not because he was worried Xie Huang would escape, but because he knew very well that once he left, regardless of whether Xie Huang escaped on his own or not, it would be hard for Xie Huang to live.

He had seen Xie Cheng’s ruthlessness more than once and he had to kill Xie Huang. He had guarded this place at all times for the sake of saving Xie Huang’s life rather than saying that he was watching over him.

After knowing that Shen An had disappeared, Xie Huang kowtowed three times at the place where he had disappeared and cut his long hair. He then rapidly rushed out of the Starry Demon Palace.

From that day onwards, he would have nothing to do with the Starry Demon Palace anymore. He would also not be called Xie Huang. His mother was called Zhangsun Yun, so he would be called Zhangsun Huang.

…

“Little Huang, how come you’re so haggard?” Black Fire saw Zhangsun Huang walk into the Peace Hotel at first glance. There were a lot of changes to Black Fire. He now looked like a top-notch immortal demon beast in the void.

Zhangsun Huang was a perfected Zenith Heaven Immortal, but there was a hint of pressure when he stood in front of Black Fire.

“Little Fire, you’re already a level-nine great immortal demon?” Zhangsun Huang asked in amazement while feeling some agony. After he had left Big Brother, his cultivation level had improved too slowly. If he had stayed beside Big Brother, he might have already become an Immortal Supremacy.

Black Fire chuckled. “Not yet. Tell me, how come you left for so long?”

Zhangsun Huang did not answer Black Fire. He only asked, “Where’s Big Brother?”

“Big Brother went to take care of some matters and will probably not return in a short time. That’s right, Big Brother has a ring for you.” Black Fire took out a ring and handed it to Zhangsun Huang.

Qu Hen had handed the Plane Rift Talisman to Di Jiu, and Black Fire had seen it clearly from the sidelines. Since he was already a level-eight immortal demon, Di Jiu had not allowed him to follow along. Instead, he had allowed him to return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to look after the Peace Hotel with Qu Hen and Chen Zishun.

Since Big Brother had the Plane Rift Talisman, Black Fire was sure that he was going to leave this Immortal World so he dared to say that Di Jiu would not return within a short time.

Di Jiu had originally wanted to give the ring to Qu Hen to pass it to Zhangsun Huang. It was because Di Jiu was not sure whether Zhangsun Huang would return to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. If he did not, Qu Hen should go to the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent’s Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit.

Although the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit was the Demonic Clothing Immortal Continent’s matter, they would certainly invite a few reputable guests. As the Gigantic Tripod Elixir Association’s Guild Master, Qu Hen should be included.

Di Jiu had not expected Qu Hen to leave, as he had some urgent matters to attend to. Therefore, he had handed the ring over to Black Fire. Now that Black Fire had seen Zhangsun Huang, he immediately took it out.

“Thank you, Big Brother. Also, I’ve changed my name to Zhangsun Huang.” Zhangsun Huang took the ring and spoke as he choked in emotion. A type of warmth was rushing forth in his heart. His real brother was always thinking of ways to get rid of him, but the Big Brother he had randomly met had not forgotten him at all.

Black Fire, who did not care what Zhangsun Huang’s surname was, only chuckled and patted him. “Hurry up and pass the Immortal King Thunder Tribulation to advance to an Immortal King. Come back to enter reclusive cultivation afterward. Your current strength is too weak. Even Little Tree knows how to work hard and cultivate. If you don’t work hard, it might not look good for Big Brother.”

Zhangsun Huang nodded his head. He would have had to enter reclusive cultivation even if Black Fire had not told him to. Big Brother was a top-notch Alchemy Master. Since Black Fire said he could pass the Immortal King Thunder Tribulation, there would certainly be a Glazed Heaven King Elixir inside this ring.
