Ninth In the World

“How can I attend the Dao Trade Meeting?” Di Jiu immediately asked.

The pretty female cultivator explained patiently, “If you want to attend the Dao Trade Meeting, you need to have the Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion’s VIP card…”

“How do I get the VIP card?” Di Jiu hurriedly inquired. Since the Dao Trade Meeting would start in two hours, he had to obtain the VIP card as soon as possible.

Upon seeing Di Jiu speak so anxiously and seem to really want to become a Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion VIP, the pretty female cultivator became lively again. “There are five levels of Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion VIP ranging from one-star to five-star. If you want to become a one-star guest, you have to spend over 10,000,000 high-grade divine crystals at the Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion.”

10,000,000 high-grade divine crystals? Di Jiu was relieved, as he still had that amount on him. Moreover, he planned to purchase the Divine Fire Silk, which cost 20,000,000. Even if there was a bit of a discount, it would still cost more than 10,000,000.

Before Di Jiu could speak, the pretty female cultivator explained, “If you are not a Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion VIP and you want to attend the Dao Trade Meeting, you have to take out at least a top-notch treasure. At the same time, you need to have over 10,000,000 divine crystals on you.”

Di Jiu naturally would not take out his quality items for her to see. Thus, he pointed at the Divine Fire Silk without hesitation and said, “What is the lowest price of the Divine Fire Silk?”

“Ah…” The pretty female cultivator exclaimed in shock and immediately replied excitedly, “If you want the Divine Fire Silk, I can sell it to you for 19,700,000 high-grade divine crystals…”

300,000 less high-grade divine crystals. This was simply nothing to him.

He hesitated for a while before asking, “If I pay using Divine Essence Pills, how much will I pay?”

The pretty female cultivator looked at Di Jiu in shock. “Sir, are you referring to the Divine Essence Pills?”

Although it had not been very long since she had come to the Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion, she knew that nobody would use Divine Essence Pills to purchase anything. Who would be foolish enough to use Divine Essence Pills as divine crystals when Divine Essence Pills were not even enough for cultivation?

“That’s right. I’m talking about the Divine Essence Pills.” Di Jiu spoke firmly. He knew how precious Divine Essence Pills were. If only he had enough divine crystals… He had around 90,000,000 Divine Essence Pills while only around 10,000,000 divine crystals.

“Sir, one Divine Essence Pill is worth 100 high-grade divine crystals…” the pretty female cultivator told him excitedly.

She could sense that Di Jiu really wanted to purchase the Divine Fire Silk. If he used the Divine Essence Pills to purchase it, she would get rich.

Di Jiu took out a storage bag and handed it to the pretty female cultivator without hesitation before saying, “There are 10,800,000 high-grade divine crystals here and 90,000 Divine Essence Pills. I want to purchase the Divine Fire Silk. I want a one-star VIP card as well.”

“Yes, sir…” The pretty female cultivator took the storage bag excitedly and immediately thought of the quoted price of the Divine Fire Silk. “Sir, you have paid an extra 100,000 high-grade divine crystals.”

Di Jiu gestured with his hands. “I know. You can use the extra ones for cultivation. Oh, that’s right. You can take the Divine Essence Pills.”

When she heard that the extra 100,000 divine crystals were a tip for her, the female cultivator’s hands started trembling from excitement. “Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.”

She repeatedly bowed a few times before Di Jiu, as the joy and gratefulness she felt deep down were hard to put into words. The most important thing was that Di Jiu had said she could take the Divine Essence Pills. In other words, she had obtained the cultivating resources of 1,000 Divine Essence Pills. Compared to 100,000 divine crystals, she wished to obtain 1,000 Divine Essence Pills even more.

The Divine Essence Pill had no elixir poison, contained pure Heaven Earth Essence Energy, and led to better cultivation results. If Di Jiu had not told her that the Divine Essence Pills were a tip for her, she really would not have dared to take them.

In a short time, the female cultivator managed to help Di Jiu get a one-star VIP card. At the same time, she packaged the Divine Fire Silk for him.

…

When Di Jiu arrived at the Dao Trade Meeting on the sixth floor, several people had already arrived.

There was still an hour left before the Dao Trade Meeting would start. Not long after Di Jiu found a seat, people started coming in one after another. He cultivated the Nomological Dao and could immediately sense that the cultivators who came in were at least at the Dao Transformation. A few of them had a strong aura. In Di Jiu’s opinion, they should be second-step Dao Validation experts.

It was indeed somewhat abrupt for an early-stage Dao Birth cultivator like him to appear here. Fortunately, he had not shown his strength. He was using a disguise to change his physique, so nobody could see through his true strength easily unless there were many people who were more valiant than him or had a far better understanding of the Heaven Earth Dao.

Di Jiu had initially planned to trade if he saw something he liked. He had 90,000,000 Divine Essence Pills on him and nearly 10 billion high-grade divine crystals, which was a huge sum.

However, after seeing so many experts there, he changed his way of thinking. He definitely could not trade unless it was something he needed a lot.

One hour passed and the Dao Trade Meeting was nearly full. Di Jiu looked and saw at least 70 to 80 people.

A long-bearded old man walked in and told everyone in the room with cupped fists, “Many friends know me. I’m the Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion’s Dao Trade Host, Qi He. Today, another monthly Dao Trade Meeting will commence. Although it can’t be compared to the annual Dao Trade, there are many good things every month. Today, I will start by…”

While speaking, Qi He took out a simple high-neck jade bottle. “This is a bottle of Chaos Qi that the Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion just obtained…”

Before Qi He could finish, everyone’s gaze and Spiritual Force landed on the jade bottle in his hands. Di Jiu could clearly sense their excitement.

He silently sighed. If he had not obtained the Sacred Yin Pearl, he would have been excited. Unfortunately, ever since he had obtained the Sacred Yin Pearl, these things were useless to him. It would have been fine if this had been pure Chaos Qi, but Qi He had mentioned that it only carried the Chaos Qi.

As expected, Qi He added, “Unfortunately, there is no pure Chaos Qi inside. It is a motley of other auras and one-tenth of Chaos Qi. This bottle is only up for trade. We do not accept divine crystals. Of course, we can also consider Divine Essence Pills.”

When Qi He uttered the last sentence, he scanned Di Jiu. It was evident that he knew that Di Jiu had bought the Divine Fire Silk with 90,000 Divine Essence Pills.

“I have a wood-element Force Crystal and 10,000 Divine Essence Pills…” The first one to make an offer was a veiled woman.

“I offer 10 level-six divine spirit herbs and one Illusionary Wind Inscription.”

…

Regardless of whether the Chaos Qi was pure or a motley, there was immediately a pile of offers. Di Jiu was completely uninterested in this motley of one-tenth Chaos Qi. However, among the offers were some things he wanted. For example, the Illusionary Wind Inscription that contained a wind-element law. Since it grew among the wind-element law, it could help advance a flying-type of winged Dharma treasure after transcending nirvana. This was a treasure that was hard to come by.

Since a motley of Chaos Qi was so popular, Di Jiu thought of his Ninth World. There were many Pure Yin Chaos Qi at the edge of the Ninth World. If he took a bottle of such Chaos Qi out, how much would it be worth?

However, Di Jiu knew very well that even if he took out the Two-Realm Flower, he could not take out the Pure Yin Chaos Qi. He would have a death wish if he did.

The bottle containing the motley of one-tenth of Chaos Qi was very soon traded away by a long-faced expert who had only spent 1,000,000 Divine Essence Pills.

The Hundred-Night Weapon Pavilion obviously knew how to control the pace of the Dao Trade Meeting. With such a good start, the item that the second person offered would not be bad indeed.

An itinerant monk cultivator was the second person to offer something. He offered the Falling Silver Ice Sulfur, which was a material used to refine top-notch flying divine weapons. Although Di Jiu had many materials on him, he did not have such good stuff.

Once Di Jiu saw the Falling Silver Ice Sulfur, he decided to purchase it. Although his escape technique was powerful, he could not keep using it for a long time. This itinerant monk also took out many Falling Silver Ice Sulfurs. When his Blacksmithing level improved in the future, he could refine a supreme-grade boat.

“This is the Falling Silver Ice Sulfur?” Once the itinerant monk took it out, someone managed to recognize it. Di Jiu was not the only one who lacked such top-notch materials. The other cultivators were also short of them.

The itinerant monk said with a laugh, “That’s right. This is indeed the Falling Silver Ice Sulfur used to refine supreme-grade flying divine weapons. I don’t want anything but nomological fragments.”

Di Jiu felt great joy. He had two pieces of nomological fragments that could be exchanged for cultivating resources. Thus, the nomological fragments were useless to him.
