To Di Jiu’s disappointment, he had not been able to wait for Deacon Mou.
According to his plan, it would be perfect if this beast tide could take out Deacon Mou again. It was just that he could do nothing if Deacon Mou did not appear. If he had to rush into the crowd to kill Deacon Mou, he wouldn’t have the guts to do so.
Because the few Yuan-Soul cultivators could not organise a real attack at all, everyone just fought in a scattered mess, and the cultivators who took part in the battle were killed and injured.
At first, Di Jiu had always thought that those few Yuan-Soul cultivators were brainless. When he reached the back, he somewhat doubted his opinion. It was very likely that these few Yuan-Soul cultivators were not brainless, but had intentionally or unintentionally allowed the casualties to increase.
After Di Jiu understood this, he secretly sighed in his heart that the cultivation world was indeed cruel beyond compare. After these cannon fodder died, the storage bags would definitely be collected. Perhaps there was another reason behind it other than these storage bags. Di Jiu didn’t want to delve into it, he himself was one of these cannon fodder.
After understanding this, Di Jiu killed even less demonic beasts. The materials of level two demon beasts were still of some use to Di Jiu, but even if Di Jiu wanted to collect demon beast materials, he would not do so at this time.
There were level four great demons here, and if he went too far, the level four great demons would kill him in a second. In this place, Di Jiu would definitely not have a Yuan-Soul cultivator to help him stop those great demons.
Although Di Jiu didn’t kill many demons, his might was in that place.
After he had withdrawn from the group of demon beasts, the two sledgehammers swung up and there were basically no more demon beasts present around him.
Demonic beasts, even at the first level, had intelligence. Di Jiu’s sledgehammer blast went down and died, now that Di Jiu had withdrawn from the herd of beasts, very few of them would rush up to fight with Di Jiu again.
“Senior, junior’s strength is low, I really can’t support it anymore, can I ask for an asylum beside senior?” A bloodied late stage Qi training cultivator retreated to Di Jiu’s side and said in a terrified tone.
Before his words left his mouth, a peak first-grade black-furred roar pounced over, and with a sideways swing of the sledgehammer in Di Jiu’s hand, he directly killed the demonic beast.
“Thank you, senior, junior has another ore here.” This late stage Qi cultivator had already taken out a Grade 3 Black Silk Truncated Gold and handed it to Di Jiu as he spoke.
It was just a casual favor, Di Jiu hadn’t thought too much about it. This Weapon Cultivator took out an ore of his own accord and gave it to him, so Di Jiu hesitated slightly before accepting the ore, “Alright, in that case, you can follow me around.”
Since he had helped out, it was only natural to receive something. This was the rule of the cultivation world, if he just helped and didn’t collect anything, it would rather not be a good thing.
“Senior, I have have a third grade Phoenix Edge Vine over here.” Seeing that a Foundation Establishment senior like Di Jiu had sheltered a Qi Practitioner cultivator by just collecting a Grade 3 ore, the other Qi Practitioner cultivator saw this and hurriedly retreated to Di Jiu’s side as well.
Third-grade spiritual herbs and third-grade ores were considered very precious to a Qi cultivator. Compared to a small life, not to mention Grade 3 materials, even if they were Grade 4 or 5 materials, they would not hesitate to take them out at this time.
Among the cultivators who died in this beast tide, Qi training cultivators accounted for over 70%. What was the point of leaving these ores and materials behind when their lives were gone?
Soon more and more people gathered around Di Jiu, and Di Jiu did not refuse anyone who came, as he was just mingling around here anyway.
At the end of the day, even some Foundation Establishment cultivators rubbed up against Di Jiu’s side, mainly because Di Jiu’s two octagonal sledgehammers looked really powerful.
Whether it was materials, ores, jade slips, magic weapons or the like, Di Jiu would not turn down anyone.
When Di Jiu saw that more and more cultivators were coming, he started to have the crowd form a defensive alliance. In this defensive alliance, he was the leader. The rest of the people just had to follow his way of defending.
In fact, Di Jiu could have let everyone form an attack alliance, and once an attack alliance was formed, the number of demon beasts killed on his side would increase tenfold.
However, Di Jiu did not do such a brain-dead thing, an attack alliance would have to be shifted. Once the formation shift was carried out, then the fact that he was a formation powerhouse would be exposed.
This is just as well, but more importantly, he attacked too strongly, that would definitely attract the attention of senior demon beasts.
The melee continued for almost half a day, and after most of the day, several Yuan-Soul cultivators clearly increased the intensity of their attacks. The tide of beasts seemed to know that they would not be able to escape well if they continued, and began to retreat.
Di Jiu and the others also slowly retreated, each returning to their own airships.
“Brother Zimmer, I knew you would be fine.” Zheng Feisheng, who had returned to his room long ago, immediately said in surprise when he saw Di Jiu return.
“Senior sister Qi Shallow is injured?” Di Jiu asked in surprise when he saw that Qi Shallow actually only had one arm left.
“Thank you senior brother Zimo for your concern, I am already satisfied that I was able to save one life.” Qi Shallow looked gloomy and said one sentence before not wanting to say any more.
Zheng Feisheng sighed and said, “Senior sister Qi Shallow met a peak Tier 2 two-tailed fox and lost an arm. Compared to senior brother Wang Zeng, senior sister Qi Shallow is still lucky. Senior Brother Wang Jing met a Tier 3 Tiger Demon and wasn’t able to return.”
Di Jiu subconsciously glanced at the main cultivation room, and Zheng Feisheng hurriedly said, “Senior sister Jing Mo Bing was luckier, she wasn’t injured and closed down after the battle.”
Di Jiu nodded, “You guys take a rest, I’m going to close up as well.”
Cultivators were supposed to fight for their lives, and being injured was something that was unavoidable. If he hadn’t obtained the grey stone and that golden lightning bolt, he would have likewise died a long time ago.
After returning to his room and hitting the ban, Di Jiu sorted out the things he had harvested.
This time, there were at least half a dozen people who had followed behind him on the beast tide battlefield to ask for asylum, and it was impossible for these cultivators to take anything too bad when they asked for asylum. A Qi Practitioner cultivator taking something too poor for him, a Foundation Establishment senior, might think he would just kick it over.
Basically, they were all Tier 3 materials, and these were just right for Di Jiu to use in refining his weapons.
Apart from the third grade materials, there were also jade slips of spell techniques. There were no jade slips of kung fu techniques, so I guess the cultivators who sought his refuge were not fools, and knew that he, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, would not change to practice someone else’s kung fu techniques.
The magic techniques were all very ordinary, a few notches below the ones he had obtained from the Qi family merchant house.
Di Jiu didn’t really care, he hadn’t originally offered his help just to seek to get rich. In that case, he was also doing as he pleased.
After sorting through all the jade slips, Di Jiu was surprised to find that there was actually a jade slip of the evasion technique among them.
For a long time, Di Jiu had wanted a Transporting Art, but unfortunately, he had moved several Qi Family Commercial Buildings, even the Qi Family Commercial Building’s headquarters in the Northern Region, but he just couldn’t find any Transporting Art jade slips inside.
Now he had found a jade slip of reclamation technique here, this was really a willow that would grow out of nothing.
Immediately, Di Jiu started to study this jade slip of recluse technique, which could save his life at any time. So it was not surprising that it was rarely seen in Shangluo.
This recluse jade slip didn’t look very ancient, it should be a replica version.
Even if it was a replica version of a jade slip of recluse art, it was reasonable to say that it was an extremely precious jade slip, and he didn’t know who had taken it to him in order to save his life.
“There are millions of evasion techniques in the world, either through gold, wood, water, fire or earth, or through weapons, blood or body. But this is the only one that does not borrow external objects, but relies on divine thoughts, and is called divine thought evasion. The thought is emptiness, emptiness, vastness, the endless universe ……”
This is actually a divine thought evasion technique, according to the above introduction, as long as the stronger the divine thought is, the further you can evade. Theoretically, you can vanish to any place that your divine thought can reach.
The more Di Jiu looked at it, the more surprised he was, and then he understood why the cultivator had given him this evasion technique. The requirements for divine thoughts in this recluse technique were simply appalling.
His divine thoughts and true essence were both compressed through the cultivation of the Starry Sky Vein, and were far too strong compared to those of ordinary cultivators. With his current divine thoughts, it was estimated that even if he were to compete with a cultivator at the fourth level of the Golden Dan, he would not lose by much. And he had just tried to practice this transport technique and found that his divine thoughts were still insufficient. The main reason was that his divine thoughts were not condensed enough and at the same time not strong enough.
Even his divine thoughts were not enough, who could practise this evasion technique? I am afraid that one can only wait until a Yuan-Soul cultivator can cultivate it, right? In other words, if a Yuan-Soul cultivator were to practise this evasion technique, he might as well just borrow his own true essence to evade. If this evasion technique requires the concentration of divine thoughts to a certain level, it is estimated that even a Yuan-Soul cultivator would not be able to cultivate it.
Whether or not it was possible to learn this evasion technique, Di Jiu was consumed with this jade slip.
While others could not condense their divine thoughts, Di Jiu could condense his divine thoughts through the starry sky veins.
He kept on trying according to the way on the jade slip, and then found a way to compress his divine thoughts through the starry sky veins to make his divine thoughts become more solid.
Time pa*sed in this constant experimentation and constant compression of Di Jiu’s divine thoughts, during which no one came here to affect Di Jiu’s cultivation.
After half a month had pa*sed, Di Jiu was surprised to find that he had hit the doorway ban from the innermost part of the house when he performed his divine thought vanishment technique.
It was only a few metres away, but Di Jiu was pleasantly surprised. In any case, he had already started this evasion technique. Next, he needed to do two things, the first was to repeatedly study this evasion technique, and the second was to repeatedly strengthen and condense his divine thoughts.
