From all the rings and storage bags of the Qi family, Di Jiu cleared out a large amount of pills and materials, and all types of spiritual herbs added up to tens of thousands of plants. Moreover, the ones that could be left in the storage bags of these strong Qi family members were all relatively rare and high grade spiritual herbs.
Even the ninth-grade alchemy materials Di Jiu saw some of them, but unfortunately, many of them Di Jiu did not know, and he decided that he would definitely settle down to study his world book when he was done with this side of things.
Apart from that, there was also a large pile of all kinds of jade slips, gong methods, magic techniques and so on. The only thing that Di Jiu looked at was a divine ability, the name of which was called Big Footprint.
This divine ability was obtained from Qi Qi’s ring, and it was the first time that Di Jiu had seen a leg and foot type technique. This Big Footprint, no matter what, Di Jiu intended to learn it.
The biggest pile, then, was spirit stones. After taking an inventory, Di Jiu found that there were about 5 million top grade spirit stones, almost 20 million medium grade spirit stones, and a little less lower grade spirit stones, but there were also more than 5 million. The most surprising thing was that there was also a tens of feet long spirit vein in Qi Qi’s ring, which was definitely a windfall.
Don’t look at the fact that Di Jiu already had more than ten million upper grade spirit stones on him, that was scavenged from the corners of the small world. In the Extreme Night Continent, a place where cultivation resources were scarce, more than five million upper grade spirit stones was an astronomical figure.
Everything was cleaned up and put aside by Di Jiu, the only thing Di Jiu held in his hand was a map jade slip.
This map jade slip was also rather dilapidated, but the words ‘Dark Star Ruins’ on it made Di Jiu feel like a treasure.
According to what that Yuan-Soul cultivator from the Qi Clan said, the relic that the Qi Clan’s strongman went to this time was the Dark Star Ruins, and the secret of going to the Little Central World that Qi Qi Qi said was also related to the Dark Star Ruins.
After all the things were sorted out, Di Jiu left the Changshan Square Market. He didn’t cultivate here, as his cultivation was rather noisy, so instead of setting up a whole bunch of spirit binding formations, he might as well find a sparsely populated place to cultivate in peace.
The place he was going to now was naturally the Dark Star Ruins.
The map obtained from Qi Qi’s ring was clearly marked that the Dark Star Ruins was located in the Western Region State. In the Extreme Night Continent, there were almost no cultivation clans in the Western Region State. Spiritual Qi was very weak here, and spiritual herbs and ores were also relatively scarce. Not only that, there are all sorts of strange and weird dangers here, even a small sting of gra*s on the roadside may kill you.
Not only are there no sects here, but even casual cultivators rarely appear here.
Because there was no teleportation array, even if Di Jiu had a divine mind vanish, it took him nearly three months to arrive at the Dark Star Ruins marked on the map.
It was called a ruin, but it actually looked similar to a huge swamp.
There were puddles everywhere, some strange and messy water plants in a handful from the east and a pile from the west, and occasionally you could see some broken walls in the middle of the puddle. It was these broken walls that made people think that this was once a big cultivation city many years ago.
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts swept out and after sensing that there was no danger, he then stepped into the swamp.
Just as he stepped one foot into the swamp, a water vine that was the same colour as the grey mud in the swamp quickly rolled over, seemingly trying to pull Di Jiu inside the swamp. Before this, there was no way to know where this water vine was hiding.
Di Jiu raised his hand and struck a wind blade, the water vine broke and a fishy black juice rushed out many heights before landing on the ground with a snorting sound.
Di Jiu cursed Qi Qi, the old son of a b*tch, this b*****d had come once and actually did not record a note. It was obvious that he didn’t want the rest of the people to enter this place, it looked like this old man Qi Qi was treating this place as the private land of the Qi family.
…….
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts were so condensed that all kinds of strange shaped plants kept attacking him in this huge swamp, but they didn’t cause him any damage.
After a day’s time, Di Jiu came to a halt. In front of him was a large puddle of water, and when his divine mind swept down, he could only see sand and gravel underneath the puddle without any abnormalities.
As a Grade 7 King Formation Master, Di Jiu could see at first glance that the puddle had been moved, and what was outside was also a concealment formation that had been rearranged down not long ago.
Just a few formation flags were thrown down, and the puddle parted in the middle. A pa*sage appeared in front of Di Jiu, who stepped straight in.
At the end of the pa*sage was a square, although an underground square, Di Jiu could still feel the former glory of the place from around this square.
The square was also surrounded by broken walls. Di Jiu’s divine thoughts swept through and knew that all the good things in this place had been taken away by Qi Qi and should now be inside his small world. A building in the middle of the square had not completely collapsed, and outside this building there were still a few words in ruins, Dark Star Teleportation Hall.
The gate and the protective formation outside the teleportation hall had been destroyed, and that newly arranged concealment spell formation Di Jiu still saw it at a glance.
This spell formation was the same as the one outside, probably still laid out by the Qi family after they arrived. The person who set up this formation was at most a level 5 formation master, two notches below him.
Di Jiu didn’t even bother to take out the formation flag, his body flashed a few times and he entered the teleportation hall.
In the middle of the teleportation hall, there was a three-foot square hexagonal teleportation platform.
With Di Jiu’s eyesight, in a short time he could see that the spirit source of this teleportation formation was a spirit vein, but this spirit vein should have been drained, and it was not far from the time when this spirit vein was drained.
Di Jiu had already understood, and he shook his head somewhat speechlessly. It was obvious that the spirit vein he had just gotten from Qi Qi’s ring was the one here, the spirit vein was there, it had just been drained by Qi Qi.
The good thing was that this spirit vein provided the spirit source for this teleportation array in addition to this teleportation hall. If it was bound to the teleportation array alone, it would have been difficult for Di Jiu to implant the spirit vein down even if he wanted to.
Di Jiu had no intention to stay in this place, and although a spiritual vein of several dozen feet was precious, compared to his leaving this place, Di Jiu did not put his mind on it.
After making sure that this was the teleportation formation, Di Jiu once again turned back and set up the concealment formation outside, and then set up a protective formation outside the concealment formation.
This place would be teleported away after he implanted the spirit vein, and Di Jiu was worried that someone would come back again in the future to take this spirit vein away. Spirit veins were not easy to get, once they were taken away, this teleportation formation was equivalent to being ruined.
After setting up all the protection formations outside and in the Dark Star Teleportation Hall, Di Jiu then started to implant the spirit veins.
It was easy to remove the spirit veins, but it was not so easy to implant them. With Di Jiu’s powerful divine mind and true essence, it took several days to implant the spirit vein under the teleportation array again.
When everything was ready, Di Jiu landed on the hexagonal teleportation platform, fed a pile of top quality spirit stones into the six grooves of the hexagonal teleportation formation and threw out the start-up formation flag.
To Di Jiu’s disappointment, even though he had sent in the spirit stones and thrown out the start-up flags, the array still did not move at all.
It looked like there was something else wrong with this teleportation array. He should have asked his master for advice on the dao of the formation under the Sheyan Heavenly Market.
At that time, he thought that the level of a rank seven king formation master was enough, which was why he didn’t care after receiving a formation dao insight from his master, Qian Fenghua, but he didn’t expect that he had to repair this teleportation formation now.
It was very likely that this teleportation formation was to teleport to the Little Central World, and this kind of transfer was definitely not something that he, a rank seven king formation master, could set up.
It was a good thing that he was not setting up this teleportation array now, he just had to repair it.
All the formation jade slips in the Qi Family Merchant House were taken out by Di Jiu, not only that, the formation jade slips in the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Hidden Scripture Pavilion were also taken out by Di Jiu. The most important thing was the formation dao insights left behind by his master, Qian Fenghua.
Di Jiu sat in the middle of this hexagonal teleportation formation to study the formation dao, completely forgetting the pa*sage of time.
……..
“Boom!” The last few lightning arcs fell and Geng Jie let out a long whistle.
It had taken him nearly three years to finally cross over to the Origin Soul realm, so now he should finally be able to go out and look for Jiu.
A few years ago, Jiu was alone in North Ridge City looking for trouble with the Qi Family Merchant House, and he had made an appointment to go to the Sky Curtain together. Unexpectedly he came all the way after him because he saw a spirit-seeking fox, and ended up accidentally falling into this valley.
It was easy to get in, but to get out, it was just too difficult. Before this valley fell in, he could not feel any difference, but after he fell in it was incomparably rich in spiritual energy.
Geng Ji was not in the mood to care about the aura, what he was worried about was that when Jiu came out, he would not be able to find him.
The reality soon dumbfounded Geng Ji, there was a terrific gravity suppression here, his strength could not climb up at all. All the messages transmitted out had no half-hearted response.
Unwilling to give up, Geng Ji searched around and the only thing he found was a pool of spiritual marrow.
If this pond had appeared outside, there was no telling how many people would have died trying to fight for it. But Geng Ji didn’t care in the slightest, if he could get out, he would definitely not care about the pond or not. If he could get out, he wouldn’t care about the Spiritual Marrow Pond. If he wanted to come to cultivate, he would have asked Brother Jiu to come along.
Now that he couldn’t get out and was trapped at the bottom of this valley, there was nothing else to do but cultivate. The good thing is that Geng Ji is simple in nature and knows that as long as his strength is high, it is possible for him to leave this valley. With this miss, Geng Ji was cultivating frantically in the Spiritual Marrow Pool.
How powerful the Star River Vein was in absorbing aura, let alone the essence of aura in the Spiritual Marrow Pool. In just a few months’ time, he crossed into the Golden Dan realm.
As soon as he crossed into the Golden Dan realm, Geng Ji tried to climb out of this valley. The result was that the Golden Dan realm was still unable to leave this place.
In desperation, Geng Xie could only continue to cultivate. After more than two years of frantic cultivation, he crossed into the Yuan-Soul realm and crossed the Yuan-Soul Lightning Tribulation.
Even though this Spirit Marrow Pond was still a constant source of spirit marrow, Geng Ji had no intention of cultivating at all, he was determined to leave this place and go in search of Di Jiu and Shu Di.
This time, Geng Ji did not disappoint, he finally broke out of this valley and arrived outside.
By the time he reached the Canopy Square, the people here had long since dispersed. According to the information Geng Jie had received, the Canopy Square had been closed for some time. The good thing was that he had gotten another piece of news that cheered him up, Jiu had exterminated all the Qi family merchant houses.
