Ninth In the World

Jie Di’s killing aura did not affect Di Jiu in the least, as it was blocked by Zhong Ao before it could reach Di Jiu and disappeared into thin air.

Jie Di’s heart sank. Even though he had the strength of a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor, he doubted whether he was Zhong Ao’s match. He did not dare be reckless with such a top-notch expert at Di Jiu’s side, and Ye Xi was not speaking up for him.

In Di Jiu’s opinion, Ye Xi was a scheming person that was not as simple as he looked. The fake Green Lotus Flag Ye Xi had taken out could pass off as a genuine one, and it was highly likely he was targeting the White Cloud Bound Flag he had.

What puzzled him was that although he thought Ye Xi would fix his attention on him, he seemed to observe a long-bearded sixth-stage Immortal Emperor instead.

“Palatial Lord Ye, I have a cauldron but I’m also unable to refine it. My cauldron is definitely not a counterfeit but a genuine cauldron I bought. I don’t refine pills, but if you are interested, we can trade.” A seventh-stage Immortal Emperor wearing a yellow robe laughed and lifted his hand to grab a cauldron.

Ordinary cauldrons were three-legged, but this one was five-legged.

Di Jiu knew this was no ordinary cauldron, so his Spiritual Force landed on the Book of the World.

What surprised him was that there was a page in the Book of the World in the shape of this cauldron, which was called Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron.

This was definitely a quality item. Otherwise, it would not be in the Book of the World.

Its name was in the introduction at the back of the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron. It had been created by Heaven and Earth after the universe had been created and it was able to transform anything and bear Yin and Yang.

“Don’t take anything that’s not yours. Otherwise, your claws will be broken off,” Di Jiu said softly.

There were too many people around today, and Di Jiu still wanted to save the Elixir Association’s Guild Master, Qu Hen. Otherwise, he would have made a move. Since there were so many people present, not only did he want to make a move on Ye Xi, but he also wanted to save someone. He needed an adequate reason. Di Jiu reckoned that Ye Xi had an intention similar to his. Ye Xi wanted to finish him off here and he should also want the whole world to know that he had to kill Di Jiu.

Of course, Di Jiu was sure that Ye Xi had not made a move yet because he had other motives. As for what motives he had, he was not very sure yet. Ye Xi most likely did not want to kill him but to imprison him. He wanted to force out the secrets in him and have him refine pills especially for him.

Ye Xi’s complexion turned cold. “Alchemy Emperor Di, you are really ruthless. He Yi only wanted to have a look at it, but you crippled one of his arms. That is too much.”

“He can take a look at someone else’s things with that person’s approval. According to you, Palatial Lord Ye, I could examine your ring directly without asking you?” Di Jiu asked him sarcastically.

Ye Xi snorted and immediately glanced at the man in the yellow robe. “Insular Lord Yong, I can trade with you if you want my Green Lotus Flag.”

Di Jiu was a dead person in his eyes. Why should he hold this against him?

Immortal Brilliant Elixir Dispensary Landlord He Yi was very disappointed after having an arm crippled by Di Jiu. He had the strength of a seventh-stage Immortal Emperor and had thought that Di Jiu would not react in time if he made a move all of a sudden. As long as he stole the White Cloud Bound Flag, he could just fabricate a reason and Di Jiu would not be able to take it back.

He had not expected to fail and even lose an arm. Most importantly, Ye Xi did not have any intention of standing up for him. He had only acted based on his opinion. The Immortal Brilliant Elixir Dispensary was Ye Xi’s business, so he had made that move earlier for Ye Xi. Ye Xi had told him previously that he could make a sudden move when needed.

If Di Jiu had not taken out the White Cloud Bound Flag, the man in yellow would have definitely traded with Ye Xi. He had taken out the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron to trade it with the Green Lotus Flag. However, when he saw Di Jiu take out his White Cloud Bound Flag, although he was not sure whether the Green Lotus Flag was fake, he was unwilling to trade a treasure like his Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron with something uncertain.

Di Jiu did not know the man in yellow. Therefore, before the man in yellow could answer Ye Xi, he opened his mouth and said, “Insular Lord Yong, you can try the elixir pill I have given you.”

He believed that, as long as he was not an idiot, he would not trade with Ye Xi after he had taken out his White Cloud Bound Flag.

The man in yellow told Ye Xi apologetically, “Palatial Lord Ye, even though I really want the Green Lotus Flag, I think that I could not refine something that even you were unable to.”

If he had not urgently needed one of the Five-Element Flags, he would not have taken out his Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron in a hurry.

Ye Xi’s face fell, but he did not answer.

The man in yellow knew he could not trade with Di Jiu, but Di Jiu was also ruthless. Even if he was not going to trade with Di Jiu, he could not ignore his words. Thus, he took the initiative to open the jade bottle he had been given and take the only Spiritual River Pill out.

Before the elixir pill entered his mouth, he could feel a cold sensation in his Spiritual Sea. He was completely shaken. Could this be the elixir pill that could recover one’s Spiritual Sea? He had never seen such an elixir pill in the Immortal World!
