As Chong Zhuan was not a member of the Qi family’s direct lineage, Di Jiu did not have the idea that he must kill the other party. Now that Chong Zhuan was ready to produce the location of the Fire Nests, Di Jiu would not even kill him.
This was not something Di Jiu would say casually, he glanced at Chong Zhuan and said indifferently, “Tell me who went to exterminate the village of Velvet Yield in the first place?”
“It was Qi Hong of the Qi family, it was his idea to exterminate the village of Velvet Yield, and he was the one who went to exterminate it.” Chong Zhuan said without hesitation, without any half-hearted concern at all.
There were no cultivators from the Extreme Night Continent here anyway, and even if there were he didn’t care. After going out from here, he did not intend to stay with the Qi family. His father had lost his life for the Qi family, and as a result, that flame was still collected and not given to him by the Qi family. Another reason he didn’t want to continue to stay in the Qi family to sell his life was this Di Jiu in front of him.
I heard that when Di Jiu destroyed the Qi family’s merchant building in Numahai Town, he was only a mid Qi cultivator. It’s only been a few years, but he has already entered the Golden Dan. It was not unheard of for someone to cross the Golden Dan in a few years’ time, but to be able to kill a seventh level Golden Dan practitioner in seconds as soon as he crossed the Golden Dan like Di Jiu was something that was unheard of.
Since Di Jiu’s future was bright, the future of the Qi family’s merchant house could also be imagined.
“Good, bring the things, and in the future, as long as you leave the Qi Family Merchant House, I will not bother with you.” Di Jiu nodded his head.
Di Jiu was not as bland as he appeared to be, in a way, the Fire Nests were far more precious than the Flames.
This was not to say that flames were not precious, in fact they were very rare. Even the top clans didn’t necessarily have a really good flame, what they had was just a place above the Earth Fire Veins where they could refine pills or weapons.
Flames are precious, but there are not many flames that can be successfully upgraded, and most of them are missing the fire nest. When flames are born, none of them will actively devour the Fire Nests, but will slowly absorb the Fire Spirit Qi to grow. As time goes by, the Fire Nests gradually become as common as ordinary stones and are hard to recognise. Some flames, after growing to a certain level, will find the Fire Nests and devour them. And more flames will be artificially collected before they have grown up.
It was for this reason that Fire Nests were even rarer than the already scarce flames.
When he heard Di Jiu’s words, Chong Zhuan hurriedly took out a jade slip and handed it to Di Jiu. Once Di Jiu’s divine thoughts swept through it, he knew that Chong Zhuan was right, this jade slip recorded exactly one place.
He believed that Chong Zhuan would not lie to him, looking at Chong Zhuan’s appearance, it was obvious that he did not want to offend him by continuing to stay at the Qi Family Merchant House, since Chong Zhuan did not want to offend him, he would not deceive him on this.
“Let’s go, Shu Di.” Di Jiu turned around and left after getting the stuff.
“Fellow Daoist Di, there is a big formation here, how about we join forces together?” Seeing that Di Jiu was leaving with the little tree root, the seventh level Jindan cultivator immediately became anxious.
Di Jiu stopped and looked at the seventh level Jindan cultivator in front of him and said indifferently, “Why do I need to join forces with you? I can go over by myself, why should I share the good stuff with you?”
Di Jiu knew why this Jindan cultivator was anxious, the blue pool in front of him was full of spiritual energy, but the opposite side of the pool was blurred. Because of the divine thought blocking the ban, it was impossible to see clearly what it was.
To get to the opposite side, one had to cross the blue pool. It was just as likely that there was a natural strangulation formation over this blue pool as there was over the valley they had come in from outside.
The reason they were stopped here before was because they wanted Shu Di to see how this great formation would work before they could cross over. Who knew that the Tree Brother had been looking at it for half a day here, and every time it said it was almost there, only to say, when it was time to go over, that it was still a little short.
If not for the fact that Tree Brother was the only one here who could help, they would have swallowed it long ago.
It took a whole lot of time to get Di Jiu to come here like this, and several people still hadn’t gone over to this pool.
Now that Di Jiu wanted to take Shu Di away, how could they be willing to do so? It was really because Di Jiu was too powerful, otherwise, instead of calling out to Di Jiu, this seventh level Jindan cultivator would have just taken action.
Hearing Di Jiu’s reply, this Jindan cultivator got stuck and choked straight away.
People just don’t take you, what can you do to others?
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts had already sensed the violent fluctuations outside, outside attacking the natural strangulation formation in that valley.
There must be something good across this blue pool, and Di Jiu was really reluctant to fight with these few Jindans now. But if these few Jindan cultivators wanted to besiege him, then don’t blame him for the killings.
This seventh level Jindan cultivator subconsciously looked at the rest of them, and no one showed any battle intent. It was really because Di Jiu was a little too powerful, and it was simply not worth fighting with Di Jiu when they did not know what was across the pool yet.
With Di Jiu’s strength, even if they were surrounded by several of them, I was afraid that in the end, it would be a lose-lose situation.
This Jindan seventh level cultivator took a breath and said to Di Jiu with a fist, “Fellow Daoist Di, I have two fourth level spirit herbs here ……”
Before this Jindan seventh layer cultivator finished his words, Di Jiu understood what the other party meant, he waved his hand to directly stop the Jindan cultivator’s words and looked at several Jindan cultivators and said indifferently, “Spiritual herb ores or whatever, I don’t even care about it. I am instead lacking a flame, if anyone has one, it is not impossible for me to take you there to have a look.”
After saying these words, Di Jiu walked to a direction of the blue pool. His divine thoughts had been feeling the fluctuations of the rules of this blue pool, allowing Shu Di to use his intuition and perhaps pa*s this blue pool as well. What Di Jiu really cared about was not what was on the opposite side of the blue pool, but the blue pool.
No one had ever seen what was across the pool, and this blue pool was surrounded by spiritual energy, so it was obviously extraordinary.
“I know the whereabouts of a flame.” Out of Di Jiu’s expectation, the cultivator at the sixth level of Jindan stood out and said to Di Jiu with a fist.
Di Jiu was stunned, he just said it casually, he originally did not intend to bring these Jindan cultivators over. According to reason, even if he knew the whereabouts of the flame, he wouldn’t take the initiative to tell them, ah, the things here might be precious, but even more precious than the flame, right?
“You really know the whereabouts of the flame?” Di Jiu looked at this cultivator of the sixth level of the Golden Dan with some doubt.
This cultivator of the sixth level of Jindan quickly took out a jade slip from his storage bag and handed it to Di Jiu, “Here is the whereabouts of the flame, fellow Daoist, you can check it out, this flame is in the canopy of the sky.”
Di Jiu grabbed the other party’s jade slip, and then his face turned a little ugly.
This jade slip had the location of an earth fire vein on it, and the jade slip was marked very carefully, even pointing out the direction of that flame.
But this jade slip he had, and the location marked on the jade slip that Chong Zhuan had just given him was this place.
“The location of the flame you mentioned is here?” Di Jiu’s tone was not half pleased, as he guessed that this flame should be the one that had been made away by Chong Zhuan’s father.
This Jindan cultivator saw Di Jiu’s face and he hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist Di, although many people know about this place, I’m sure no one has marked it as detailed and accurate as I have.”
After Di Jiu heard the word detailed, his heart moved and his divine thoughts fell on the jade slip again, and he noticed a difference.
The location of the jade slip given by this sixth level Jindan cultivator was indeed in the same place as the location of the Fire Nests given by Chongzhuan. But the details were not quite the same, that is, the detailed directions marked by the two men differed in no small way.
Chong Zhuan’s father had personally taken away a flame, so naturally he would not have marked the wrong location of the Fire Nei nest, while this Jindan cultivator said that his location was detailed and accurate. Then it was very likely that the flame this Jindan cultivator was talking about was not the same flame as the one that Chong Zhuan’s father had obtained.
Di Jiu’s face was expressionless as he put away the jade slip and said in a flat tone, “I have the location of the flame you gave me, I’m as good as my word, you can follow me.”
“Yes, thanks a lot fellow Daoist Di.” This sixth level Jindan cultivator hurriedly clasped his fist in thanks and walked briskly.
That flame was precious, but he knew his own business. He had been to this place, and with his current strength, it was difficult to even get close to the flame, not to mention getting it. The canopy wasn’t always open, and before it closed, he definitely wouldn’t get the flame, and since he couldn’t get the flame, he might as well give the location to Di Jiu in exchange for the tangible benefits at hand.
“Fellow Daoist Di ……,” Chong Zhuan also said with a somewhat reluctant fist clasp.
Di Jiu knew what he meant, “You should also follow along.”
What Chong Zhuan gave him was very important, and Chong Zhuan would definitely break away from the Qi family, with the Qi family’s urine, Chong Zhuan and the Qi family would only be enemies not friends anymore. That was why Di Jiu had asked Chong Zhuan to come along.
“Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Di.” Chong Zhuan said joyfully and hurriedly took two steps to cross over to Di Jiu’s side.
The remaining three Jindan cultivators looked at each other, now that Di Jiu had two Jindans helping him, they were even more afraid to make a move. But if they were asked to produce a treasure of the same level as the flame, they simply couldn’t do so.
Di Jiu didn’t care what these guys thought, he could see that there was a spatial strangulation formation over this blue pool, a formation that he couldn’t break at all, even if Shu Di couldn’t walk through it.
But the spell formation in the blue pool was different from the one above the pool, and the level was much lower, at most a barely level five spell formation, he just had to go through the blue pool.
Di Jiu raised his hand and grabbed several formation flags and threw them out, setting up a level 4 protective formation to shield the area where he was, before taking out several formation flags again and throwing them into the pool.
The blue pool, which originally looked very ordinary, suddenly burst out with an extremely dense spiritual energy. Just by feeling it, Di Jiu felt that his cultivation was loosening.
