Di Jiu broke through the ban and arrived in the main hall, he stood beside JI Ming and watched for half a column of time, he was sure that JI Ming should have died from poisoning. It was somewhat ironic that an 8th grade Dan King had actually died of poison. However, in the cultivation world, anything could happen, and Di Jiu did not find it surprising.
No, when Di Jiu’s divine thoughts landed on JI Ming’s brow, he sensed a faint aura of vitality, or rather it was not a vitality aura, but a Yuan Shen aura. When Di Jiu had fought that powerful Yuan Shen female cultivator at the bottom of the Snow Mountain, he was very sensitive to the presence of Yuan Shen.
JI Ming’s physical body had been poisoned and ruined, but his Yuan Shen was still alive.
Di Jiu ignored JI Ming’s Yuan Shen, he walked up to the Dan Ding and touched it with his hand, the Dan Ding looked like an ordinary spirit weapon, it seemed to be of lower grade, but when he touched it it seemed to be better than lower grade.
Di Jiu could refine extremely high quality spirit weapons, but it did not mean that he could refine a top quality Dan Ding out. Even though Dan Cauldrons were not available to everyone, the value of a Dan Cauldron was still the highest for the same level of magic treasure.
The better the material, the higher the quality of the pot. Moreover, the value of a Dan Ding made by someone who knew the Dao of Dan was higher than that made by an ordinary artificer.
When Di Jiu’s hand touched the Dang Ding, a strong wood attribute aura came rushing in, and he was shocked in his heart, this was the first time he saw a wooden Dang Ding. It was true that there were some top quality woods in the cultivation world, but among the five elements, fire was against wood, and fire was needed for alchemy, so no matter how good the wood was, it should not be used to make a dan censer.
“Young man, if you like this pot, there is no harm for me to give it to you.” As expected by Di Jiu, a weak voice came from JI Ming’s brow.
Di Jiu’s hand left the Dan Cauldron and looked back at JI Ming and asked, “Your Yuan Shen is hiding in the Purple Mansion, isn’t it for the purpose of taking over the body? Why did you take the initiative to speak?”
JI Ming’s Yuan Shen fell silent for a while before saying, “So you already knew that my Yuan Shen was still there, I, JI Ming, never wanted to take over the body, it’s just that there are some things that have not been pa*sed on and my heart is not willing to do so.”
“Tell me, if it’s not too much trouble, I’ll help you.” Di Jiu was somewhat kind to JI Ming for not choosing to take over his body.
What he resented the most was the taking of a body, if JI Ming dared to take a body from him, he would definitely let JI Ming’s Yuan Shen never have a chance to reincarnate.
JI Ming said in a slow voice, “You came to Ding Dan Mountain, you must have come to ask me to help you refine pills, right? In fact you came two months too late, although I crossed into the ranks of the Ninth Grade Dan King, unfortunately I am also about to fall ……”
“You are a Ninth Grade Dan King?” Di Jiu did not care about JI Ming referring to the Meteoric Dan Mountain as the Ding Dan Mountain again, he was surprised that JI Ming was a Ninth Grade Dan King. Don’t look at the fact that there was only a difference of one grade between the eighth grade and the ninth grade, this was a grade that many Dan Kings would not be able to cross in their lifetime.
JI Ming sighed, “And what’s the use? I have crossed into the rank of the ninth grade Dan King, leaving the outside world indebted to me for countless Dan favours, but I still revitalised Ding Dan Mountain and had Meteor Dan Mountain renamed.”
Di Jiu asked, “JI Dan King, one of your conditions for refining pills for people is to make the person refining the pills owe you a favour, could it be that when you want to revive Ding Dan Mountain, you want to ask the person who owes you a favour to come and help?”
JI Ming said, “That’s right, there was indeed this idea, but unfortunately, before I could revitalize Ding Dan Mountain, I had to fall myself.”
Di Jiu smiled, “King JI Dan, if you believe me, then I will tell you a true story.”
“Please speak, fellow Daoist.” JI Ming’s tone was low, in fact he still had a good feeling towards Di Jiu, who called out a few times outside before coming in. Coming in to find him fallen, he didn’t make a big effort to check through the place, not even looking for his ring.
When most cultivators came here and saw that he, a Dan King, had fallen, the first thing they would do would definitely be to look for his ring. A Dan King’s ring must be a small world, containing not only spiritual herbs but also countless pills.
“Your wish will not come true, if you want to revitalise Dan Ding Mountain, you must have the strength to do so yourself, not with the help of others. In fact, if you are a ninth-grade Dan King, you have this strength, but unfortunately you are not using it in the right place. The favours you have exchanged for pills are not many people who can actually contribute to your efforts. In other words, that is, if you succeed in rebuilding Ding Dan Mountain, Ding Dan Mountain will soon become Meteor Dan Mountain again. A clan is made up of heritage and heritage, so I don’t think highly of you.” Di Jiu said honestly.
JI Ming sighed once again, “You’re right, I knew it a little too late.”
After a moment of stagnation, JI Ming suddenly asked, “What kind of pills do you need me to refine for you?”
“I want to refine two stoves of Kunzhan Dan, alas ……” Di Jiu also sighed.
“You’re actually at the complete Sea Pioneer Realm?” JI Ming uttered in amazement, in his perception, Di Jiu shouldn’t be too old. This kind of age being at the perfection of the Sea Penetrating Realm, it could be seen how high Di Jiu’s qualifications were.
Di Jiu didn’t hide, “That’s right, I am indeed at the complete Sea Breaking Realm.”
JI Ming suddenly said, “If you believe me, why don’t you study alchemy with me for three months, I guarantee that you will become a seventh grade or higher Dan King within ten years.”
After ten years everything would be cold, Di Jiu was puzzled and asked, “Why study alchemy with you for three months? Wouldn’t a longer time be better?”
JI Ming smiled self-deprecatingly, “I was poisoned by that sinful disciple, and even my Yuan Shen will collapse after three months, so I can only teach you for three months. With your cultivation qualifications, I think you should have mastered the introduction to the Dan Dao in three months, and then if you figure it out on your own, you can cross over to the rank of seventh grade Dan King within ten years.”
After saying this, JI Ming completely agreed with Di Jiu’s words. He couldn’t even hide from his disciples’ backstabbing, so why should he revitalise Ding Dan Mountain? Letting him refine pills was fine, asking him to revitalize the sect, he might not really be that material.
“So you were a*sa*sinated by your disciple? What is your disciple’s name, if I meet him in the future I will help you take revenge for this.” Di Jiu said at once.
This kind of trash that even a*sa*sinated his master was definitely not a good thing. If he met him, he would just kill him with his bare hands.
A jade slip landed beside Di Jiu and JI Ming said, “His name is Wei Lun and he is a cultivation genius. Even with your talent, you may not be able to cultivate faster than him. He caused me to leave when he was already at the fourth level of the Cultivation Tripod, while he was less than a hundred years old. I’m afraid that even the True Domain doesn’t have such a genius. A Cultivating Tripod within a hundred years of age shouldn’t have appeared in the Little Central World for ten thousand years either ……
Besides, he took my small world, and the cultivation resources inside are piled up like mountains. These are enough for him to cross into the Realm of Transformation, so you don’t need to avenge me. This jade slip is my alchemy tips, so you can study alchemy here and ask me if you don’t understand anything.”
A Cultivated Potion within a hundred years old was indeed quite an ox, but Di Jiu really didn’t take it to heart. He was only one step away from crossing the line into the Cultivating Tripod, and he was only about thirty years old now.
“Thank you senior ……,” Di Jiu picked up the jade slip and his divine thoughts landed on it.
Only then did JI said, “It’s a pity that my ring was taken away by Wei Lun, otherwise, there would be a large pile of spirit herbs for alchemy inside.”
Di Jiu was completely immersed in this jade slip, and only now did he understand that even if he had a golden lightning bolt of vast rules in his sea of consciousness, it was still far inferior to this one Dan Dao jade slip when it came to the introduction to alchemy.
When he was in the Extreme Night Continent, Di Jiu had collected a bunch of alchemy jade slips for Shu Di. Now that he saw JI Ming’s alchemy jade slip, he realised that the ones he had collected back then were not alchemy jade slips, they were complete rubbish.
If he had been given this jade slip, he wouldn’t have used such a huge pile of spirit herbs and spent such a long time, this was only barely a level three spirit elixir master. Moreover, he had to take his chances in refining third level spirit pills, and more often than not, he could only refine second level spirit pills.
It didn’t matter that he was now short of some low-grade spirit herbs, he would go and buy them right away. In the Little Central World, there were not many spirit herbs above level five, but there were still plenty of spirit herbs below level five.
“Junior Di Jiu, thank you for your generous gift.” Di Jiu bowed and saluted to this JI Ming’s dried up flesh, this jade slip was simply worth a lot to him.
“You don’t need to thank me, if it was someone else who came, I wouldn’t want to take away all that I have learned. This Dan Cauldron in front of you is for you, this Dan Cauldron has been pa*sed down from my great master ancestor to my master and then to me, through countless years ……” JI Ming’s voice got smaller and smaller as he spoke, seemingly immersed in memories.
It was only after a long time that JI Ming remembered that he should have taught Di Jiu about alchemy, “People will die and think about many things. Although you don’t necessarily understand, I’ll tell you about my Dan Dao. The reason why there are few dan kings in the cultivation world is that in many people’s opinion, spiritual herbs are scarce and not enough for practice. Di Jiu, do you know how many Grade Nine Spiritual Herbs I used to cross over from an Eighth Grade Dan King to a Ninth Grade Dan King?”
“It must have been hundreds, right?” Di Jiu asked not quite sure, it was really because Grade 9 Spiritual Herbs were too precious, a few hundred of them were already more than enough.
To refine a ninth grade spirit pill, it wasn’t necessarily necessary to have ninth grade spirit herbs, but the main spirit herbs had to be of the ninth grade.
“No, I only had one pair of spirit herbs for the True Spirit Pill, and the ninth grade spirit herbs only added up to seven, but I succeeded in refining it, and it was still a top grade True Spirit Pill. Unfortunately, the elixir was taken away by my sinful disciple, so I cannot show it to you.” JI Ming replied in an extremely serious tone.
“Ah ……” Even Di Jiu was a little disbelieving, even a genius Dan Dao practitioner could not have succeeded in refining a ninth grade Spirit Dan in his first furnace, crossing over from an eighth grade Dan King to a ninth grade Dan King, right?
JI Ming slowly said, “I have been pushing for this elixir for one hundred and thirty-seven years, and finally had an epiphany of a Dao of the Dan Dao. If I hadn’t died, my future Dan Dao would have been straightforward. Unfortunately, that Dao of the Dan Dao Dao was contained in my dan furnace ……”
Di Jiu subconsciously looked at the wooden dan furnace in front of him and wondered in his heart why the furnace was still there since it was used to refine the Ninth Grade True Spirit Dan.
That Wei Lun even poisoned and killed JI Ming, Di Jiu did not believe that he would leave behind a dan furnace that could refine a ninth grade true spirit pills and even have a dan rule.
