In almost four months, Di Jiu had used up almost all of the sub-fourth grade spirit herbs before he could refine a third grade spirit pill. This was still the case when he had the Dao Fire and could vaguely sense the characteristics of the spirit herbs.
Estimating that the time for the Five Continents Dao Tower to close had also arrived, Di Jiu stopped refining pills. He also sighed in his heart that with the amount of time and expense he spent to become a Seventh Grade Dan King at this rate of progress, he might as well just cultivate to the Sea Breaking Realm and go challenge the people on the Sea Ranking.
Becoming a Seventh Grade Dan King was not just a matter of having time and spirit stones, it also required a large amount of high grade spirit herbs. The Little Central World had far more cultivation resources than the rest of the continents, and even then, high grade spirit gra*ses were extremely lacking. Without the support of his clan, unless he entered a certain secret realm of spiritual gra*ses, otherwise the Seventh Grade Dan King should not think about it for the time being.
After lamenting that cultivation was not easy, Di Jiu put away all his ninth grade protective formations and headed to the Five Continents Square.
What Di Jiu was most concerned about at the moment was instead not his name on the Five Continents Dao Tablet, but whether he had made it to the Potential Ranking. As long as he was on the Potential Ranking, he would be qualified to challenge the Sea Ranking cultivators.
Di Jiu was relieved to see the ninth place on the potential list. He himself didn’t know how this ranking came about, but it didn’t matter, as long as he was on the Potential Ranking.
“Young Master Red Ta*sel is here!” As soon as Di Jiu appeared in the Five Continents Square, someone recognized him, and numerous gazes fell on Di Jiu.
Compared to the top nine of the Five Continents Dao Tablet, Di Jiu, the tenth ranked cultivator, was a little more famous. One of the reasons for this was that I had heard that Di Jiu was a generous person, willing to stand up for cultivators he didn’t know, and not taking any favours without leaving his name. The second reason was that Di Jiu was also a loose cultivator, and the only loose cultivator in the top ten of the Five Continents Dao Tower. In addition to these, Di Jiu is also the only cultivator below the Sea Pioneer realm among the top ten.
Although it was said that the most suitable realm for climbing the Five Continents Dao Tower was from the Golden Dan realm to the Sea Pioneer realm, in fact, every time those who could climb up to the top ten were basically from the Sea Pioneer realm.
Not to mention the rest, the fact that Di Jiu had made it to the top ten just by being below the Sea Breaking Realm was a remarkable thing in itself.
At a glance, Di Jiu saw Han Qing Yi staring at him not far away. Luckily, the woman knew what was important and did not come up to him at this time.
As more and more people crowded over to see what he, the tenth ranked casual cultivator, looked like, Di Jiu had no choice but to stretch his body and take the Five Continents Dao Tablet, which was hovering behind his name on the Five Continents Dao Tablet, into his hand.
It was yellow in colour and half the size of a palm, with ‘Di Jiu One Hundred and Thirty-two’ written in the middle.
It looked like he had gained one hundred and thirty-two points. Di Jiu did not know how to use these points yet, but he knew that they were worth a lot.
Just after he had put away the Five Continents Dao token, a middle-aged man walked up to Di Jiu and said with a clasped fist, “Fellow Daoist Di, I heard that you are a casual cultivator? Have you ever considered joining our Snow Sword Sect?”
Before Di Jiu could answer, another person came over at a brisk pace and said, “Fellow Daoist Di, my Tian Lan Clan invites you to join our clan and grants you a position as an outer sect elder.”
“I, Fire Refining Valley ……”
Seeing that there were still sect cultivators crowding over, Di Jiu hurriedly clasped his fist and said, “Thank you for the love of the sects, Di Jiu has already made his plans, so I’ll take my leave first.”
After saying that, Di Jiu hurriedly squeezed through the crowd.
The clans that came here to invite him, how many of them were looking at his qualifications Di Jiu didn’t dare to say, he was sure that most of the clans here were looking at the one hundred and thirty-two points in his hand.
“Wait ……” a bearded male cultivator stopped Di Jiu’s way.
Seeing this bearded man, Di Jiu secretly sighed, what comes around must still come around.
“Return my things to me, otherwise, I will immediately challenge you to a duel on the Life and Death Stage.” The person who came was none other than Tiger Yisho, who had one of his Extreme Fire Essence Gold taken away by Di Jiu.
If he hadn’t dared to make a move in the Five Continents Square, he would have sacrificed his glazed bore to Di Jiu.
According to Di Jiu’s intention, if Tiger Yibian asked him to go to the Life and Death Stage, he would not hesitate to agree. Tiger Yibi was at the third level of the Void God Realm, and he was now at the second level of the Void God Realm, his cultivation level was basically at the same level. As an opponent at the same level, to be honest, Di Jiu really wasn’t afraid of anyone.
However, Di Jiu had no way to kill Tiger Yibian, and if he went to the stage of life and death, only one person would definitely come down alive. If he didn’t kill Tiger Yisheng, he would be dead. If he killed Tiger Yisheng, then he doubted if he could make it to the teleportation formation outside of Tian Tu City alive.
Tiger Yisho was at the sixty-third position on the Potential Ranking, which meant that the change would not be much further down. He didn’t even need to ask about Tiger Yisheng’s origins to know that this must be another guy from a big clan. With his current cultivation at the second level of the Void God Realm, not to mention fighting a large clan, even a five-star clan would be able to make him eat his words.
“Huh, Brother Tiger, isn’t this the one you rewarded me with in the first place? Why do you want it back again? Could it be that this is your tradition?” Di Jiu gave a startled eek.
Tiger Yisheng blushed a rare moment and said somewhat embarra*sedly, “I took it by mistake at the time.”
He relied on his big clan origin to bully Di Jiu, who was a casual cultivator by birth, but he also wanted to save face. It was indeed a matter of shame to give something to someone and then take it back.
Di Jiu took out a jade bottle and handed it to Tiger Yisheng and said, “Brother Tiger, I have exchanged that Essence of Fire gold for a Void Lore Dan, since you want it, this Void Lore Dan is for you.”
This Void Lore Pill was given to Di Jiu by the Kun Clan’s Patriarch, but Di Jiu did not use it, so now he simply shoved it to Tiger Yisheng.
Tiger Yisheng subconsciously took the jade bottle, this time he quickly reacted, “No, the value of this elixir is far less than my Extreme Fire Essence Gold.”
The value of the Void Lore Pill could not be said to be far inferior compared to the Extreme Fire Essence Gold, it depended on whether the other party needed it or not. Tiger Yisheng was now at the third level of the Void God Realm and did not need the Void Lore Pill at all. If Di Jiu gave him a God Breaking Pill, he might even be willing to pay back some spirit stones to Di Jiu.
Di Jiu’s divine mind was so powerful that he had long felt a divine mind landing on him, which was a thin old man in black standing at the edge of the square. He hurriedly tapped Tiger Yi’s shore, “Brother Tiger, I will give you a few pieces of Extreme Fire Essence Gold when I get it in the future, I heard that there are Earth Core Inferno Crystals for sale at this auction, if you like it, I will just auction it over for you.”
After saying these words, Di Jiu turned around and left. Only when he had just taken a step, the thin old man in black stood in front of Di Jiu with a smile, “Is this Fellow Daoist Di Jiu?”
Di Jiu was secretly shocked in his heart, when this old man came over, the space didn’t even fluctuate a bit, what kind of strength was this?
“My junior is none other than Di Jiu, meet senior.” Di Jiu said with a bow and a respectful tone.
In this bird place, poor cultivation was bowing everywhere, hurrying to attend the auction to go back to close up and cultivate.
“I am old man Mirage Mingzi of Tianji Pavilion, can Daoist Di move to say a few words?” The black-clothed old man said in a genial manner.
Even Tiger Yisho, who was going to trouble Di Jiu, hurriedly and quietly stepped back when he saw this black-clothed old man coming over to Di Jiu, and then quickly disappeared into the crowd, not even wanting the Extreme Fire Essence Gold.
“Naturally.” Di Jiu was helpless, this old man’s strength would definitely not be lower than any of those five previous Patriarchs, could he say no?
“Then Fellow Daoist Di, please follow me.” Illusionary Mingzi nodded to Di Jiu, then turned around and left, still very fast.
If it was outside of Five Continents City, Di Jiu might have just divine thought vanish away. In this place, Di Jiu could only follow the other party past.
An incense stick later, Di Jiu followed Illusionary Mingzi to one of the resting buildings of Tianji Pavilion.
Knowing that this was the other party’s territory, Di Jiu had no choice but to stiffly follow him in.
Illusionary Mingzi took Di Jiu to a clear compartment and poured Di Jiu a cup of tea before opening the door and saying, “Fellow Daoist Di, would you like to join my Tianji Pavilion?”
Di Jiu was a bit stunned, was this an invitation to join the Tian Ji Pavilion?
“Senior, isn’t the Tian Ji Pavilion a ten-star sect?” Di Jiu was puzzled, although he had performed well, he shouldn’t have reached the point of being invited by a ten-star sect, right?
Illusionary Mingzi smiled faintly, “Although Tianji Pavilion is considered a ten-star sect, it is still too far behind those ancient hidden sects in the True Domain. Of course, in the Little Central World, the Tian Ji Pavilion is considered the number one power. I don’t suppose you understand why I invited you to join the Tian Ji Pavilion, right? I do think highly of you and consider you to be more talented than those geniuses in the True Domain. Only you will have the chance to enter the true Immortal Domain in the future.”
“Senior, junior considers himself to be quite qualified, but he is only at the Void God realm, and besides, junior is only ninth on the potential list ……”
Illusionary Mingzi stopped Di Jiu’s words with a wave of his hand, “You don’t need to be presumptuous, I have never seen a cultivator who can cross into the Void God realm before the age of thirty, you are the only one, and I believe I will not be wrong about your age. The youngest Void God realm cultivator I’ve ever seen was over eighty years old. They all have a huge pile of clan resources, and are in no way comparable to a casual cultivator like you. Have you seen those genius cultivators on the Dao Rankings? None of them are under one hundred and ninety years old. In other words, in terms of qualifications, none of them can compare to you.
As for the Potential Ranking, that was originally ranked by my Tianji Pavilion. According to your potential, you should have been ranked first, only that I proposed that you be ranked ninth. I’ve also seen your fights at the Bay Night Lake, and it’s the first time I’ve seen you be able to comprehend such a blade intent with a hint of law before you’re thirty.”
Di Jiu thought of Fu Che’s words, this Tian Ji Pavilion was very mysterious, maybe he didn’t even know that he had a concealment formation set up around him.
Seeing Di Jiu’s silence, Illusionary Mingzi continued, “The reason why I invited you to come here in the Dao is also to save your life. Do you know that your little life is in danger?”
“Senior, junior obeys the law, is charitable, is a good person doing good deeds, does not cause any trouble and does not make trouble, and stays peacefully in Wulu City ……”
Illusion Mingzi sneered, “I will not say why Tiger Yisheng stopped you, do you think that the Kun Sect Patriarch Shu Hao Lan has investigated you, you have no problem? Let me tell you, sooner or later, Shu Hao Lan will find you again. He is someone who would rather be killed by mistake than spared. Besides, you’ve done one more thing wrong.”
“What is it?” Di Jiu asked subconsciously.
