Ninth In the World

Di Jiu became famous for the third time in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, or rather the Starry Sky Tea House became famous.

Jie Guangmao, the deputy city lord of the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, had to apologize to Di Jiu and compensate him with two million freedom points after manager Hui from the Great Fortune Inn lost his legs.

The Starry Sky Tea was well-known in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, not only because it had a famous manager, Di Jiu, but also because its quality was really good.

The different powers in the city, including the sect masters of large sects, all enjoyed the tea very much. In this part of the universe, if anyone served you using the Starry Sky Tea, it signified that you were an honored guest.

Unfortunately, there was a limited amount of Starry Sky Tea sold every day, so it was extremely difficult to buy it. After the first day, everyone could only buy one box per day.

Just like Jie Huang had said, earning money by selling the Starry Sky Tea was much easier than robbing people.

Although everyone knew that the Starry Sky Tea was very good and deserved to be named the best tea, nobody dared to snatch the Starry Sky Tea House. After all, the failure of manager Hui from the Great Fortune Inn had been the best warning.

Huang Yetian, who had been watching Di Jiu all along, sighed and left the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City sorrowfully after discovering that Di Jiu was with Jie Huang, the young palatial lord of the Star Demon Palace, and had insulted Deputy City Lord Jie. He did not dare do anything to Jie Huang.

It was just his luck that his daughter would be killed. To be honest, the Star Elixir Dispensary was to blame.

…

100 million li away from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City was the Star Demon Palace of the Immortal Land of Moyi. A middle-aged man wearing a purple robe sat on a huge black chair while a male cultivator wearing black clothes stood beneath him. Next to him was a young boy with golden hair.

The middle-aged man set his eyes on the male cultivator in the black clothes and said emotionlessly, “Did you say that Huang’er opened a store in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City and shamed Jie Guangmao?”

The man bowed immediately and said in a respectful tone, “Yes, palatial lord. The young palatial lord has opened a tea house with a grade-three alchemy master called Di Jiu. They sell a particular type of immortal spirit tea and the young palatial lord calls Alchemy Master Di his Big Brother. They are very close.”

It was obvious that the man was Jie Huang’s father, Jie Wanling, the palatial lord of the Star Demon Palace and a top-notch expert in the seventh-stage Immortal Emperor Realm.

“How dare a little alchemy master be my son’s Big Brother?” Jie Wanling snorted.

“Do you want to capture him?” the man asked respectfully again.

Jie Wanling waved his hand and said, “No, take your leave first.”

Jie Wanling did not ask about the type of tea Jie Huang was selling or its popularity, as the immortal spirit tea of a small alchemy master was worthless to him.

“Yes.” The man moved behind and left the hall very quickly.

“Father, the bloodline of the Star Demon Palace is really noble. How could big brother call an itinerant cultivator his Big Brother? This is just…” The boy with the golden hair frowned as he whispered.

Jie Wanling sighed. “Forget it. Huang’er’s days are numbered. Just let him do whatever he wants.”

Jie Wanling paused for a moment after saying that. Then, he said gently, “Your big brother is ruined, Cheng’er. Although your cultivation level is higher than your big brother’s, you still need to do a lot more if you want to reach greater heights on the Moyi Mountain Summit. During this period of time, focus on the reclusive cultivation in the Star Demon Lake and attain the Immortal King Realm soon.”

“I know, Father,” the boy said obediently.

…

In the meantime, on the second storey of the Starry Sky Tea House, Di Jiu had checked all of Jie Huang’s meridians and his spiritual sea by using his spiritual force. Jie Huang had absolutely no privacy left.

However, Di Jiu frowned when he realized that the problem was quite dicey. Jie Huang had been poisoned for too long, so even though Di Jiu had the Golden Dao law and understood the Foundation Order reasonably well, he could not identify where Jie Huang’s desire poison was located. In fact, the desire poison did not have a form. It was traceless.

“Big Brother, is there a problem?” Jie Huang asked frantically when he saw Di Jiu frowning.

Di Jiu sighed. Unfortunately, he did not have the Golden Dao law. If he were to use the previous method, the chance of success would not be more than 50 percent.

“I have a new method that can remove your desire poison completely. However…”

“As long as it does not kill me, you can just do whatever you want,” Jie Huang said without hesitation even before Di Jiu had finished his words.

Di Jiu nodded. “It will not kill you. However, my method involves burning you by using flames. That includes your flesh, bones, and even your spiritual sea…”

Jie Huang shuddered. That sounded too intimidating!
