Chapter 390 - Removing The Spirit of Desire Poison
Immortal Emperor Melting Snow suddenly laughed, looked at Jie Wanling and said, “I thought that Senior Brother Jie had created the Starry Sky Tea so that young master Jie Huang of the Star Demon Palace could sell it in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City. I just realized that Senior Brother Jie does not know about this either.”
Jie Wanling, who felt a little awkward, said, “That disappointing son of mine is indeed selling immortal spirit tea in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, but I guess that he is reselling the tea. My disappointing son can only be a trader unlike our niece, Qingbing.”
Jie Wanling misunderstood what Immortal Emperor Melting Snow meant and thought that Jie Huang was one of the many traders who resold the Starry Sky Tea in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City and used his name to operate the business.
However, the Starry Sky Tea was indeed a very good tea, so the person who formulated it had to be an expert.
Immortal Emperor Melting Snow laughed. “Looks like Daoist Jie doesn’t know Jie Huang very well.”
Jie Wanling, who was stunned, asked, “Junior Sister Louxue, what makes you say that?”
Didn’t he understand Jie Huang? Who else in the universe understood his son more than him? It was true that he had given Jie Huang the freedom to do whatever he wanted and let Jie Huang’s mother spoil him, thereby leading him to his sorry state. Although Jie Wanling was partly responsible for Jie Huang’s current state, he knew his son very well.
In fact, Jie Wanling had thought that Jie Huang would not achieve much on the Demonic Clothing Mountain Summit even if no one plotted against him.
Jie Huang was rather cowardly and did not have definite views of his own. He was also too naive and trusted others very easily. Although he had potential, he could not bear hardships and would be unable to become as outstanding as the other heirs.
Jie Wanling obviously understood the meaning behind Immortal Emperor Melting Snow’s words. Thus, he said emotionlessly, “I know my son quite well, and I know that he probably cannot convince someone like Di Jiu to be his subordinate. If nephew Pu was in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City, he would definitely make the alchemy master submit to him if he were to meet him.”
Immortal Emperor Melting Snow laughed. “Brother Jie does know a bit about Jie Huang. He calls Di Jiu his Big Brother. The Fortune Inn of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City wanted to snatch their business but got taken care of by them instead.”
Jie Wanling’s face darkened. He believed that weaklings like the Fortune Inn had no right to bully his son, even though his son’s days were numbered.
Zhou Bujian, who seemed to suddenly recall something, did not want to talk about Di Jiu anymore. He took out a jade box and said, “Niece Qingbing is the first to break through the Immortal King Realm. I only have a humble gift for you. I acquired this Immortal Sword Talisman by chance, so I’m going to give it to you as a gift.”
Zhou Bujian was the first to take out a gift. When he did, the other sect masters started to take out their gifts as well.
Everyone present were experts at the Immortal Emperor level and sect masters of the five big sects. Therefore, nobody took out something shabby.
…
Outside the Starry Sky Tea House in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City, Little Tree was speaking to a scholarly man while bowing down. “Deacon, my Big Brother entered reclusive cultivation for a month. He told me not to disturb him until his cultivation is complete.”
The scholarly man had no choice but to say, “In that case, I will take my leave. Please inform me when Alchemy Master Di has completed his reclusive cultivation and I will pay a visit personally.”
“Yes, I will definitely inform you,” Little Tree answered hurriedly.
The person before Little Tree was an immortal king expert. He was deacon Lin Qing from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal City Elixir Association. His cultivation experience was much higher than Little Tree’s. Therefore, it did not dare to ignore him.
Lin Qing sighed when he left the Starry Sky Tea House. He believed that Di Jiu had been a marvelous person in the past. Upon thinking of it now, he realized that Di Jiu had held back some tricks during the test. Otherwise, he would have been able to refine the Seven-Orifice Soul Condensing Pill.
A great alchemy master who could refine the Seven-Orifice Soul Condensing Pill would be specially nurtured by the Elixir Association.
…
Di Jiu raised his hand and took out a thin black thread with a hint of red color. He placed it in a jade box and then created more than ten restrictions on the jade box.
At that moment, what seemed like a thin thread to Di Jiu could not even be detected by others by using Spiritual Force. This was the Spirit of Desire Poison Di Jiu had taken from Jie Huang. He could see the form of the poison because he understood the law of the poison.
The Desire Poison was intimidating because people did not know about it. If another cultivator with the Desire Poison approached Di Jiu, he would remove the poison easily with just a few slaps.
Jie Huang’s cultivation experience increased significantly after he broke free from the torture of the Desire Poison and Di Jiu set up a Starry Sky meridian for him. The Blood Essence Jie Huang lost due to the Dao fire also went back into his body once again.
Jie Huang had a good foundation, so his tempered body reached the Tribulation Realm of the Third Deity thanks to the Colossal Kun Body-Tempering Art. Di Jiu was too lazy to continue burning Jie Huang with the Dao fire. Besides, Jie Huang would have to rely on himself afterward. Di Jiu needed to improve his alchemy Dao level now.
