Hearing such arrogant words from Di Jiu, that Immortal King was instead stunned for a moment. If it was anywhere else, he would naturally not hesitate to finish off Di Jiu immediately. But here he was the leader, and he also wanted to use everyone’s strength to find the underground market.
If he killed Di Jiu, it would make the rest of them feel as if they were forced and carried by him, and if they didn’t listen to him, he would immediately kill them. This would be absolutely detrimental to his next search for the underground market.
He had to know that he had to find this underground market in the shortest possible time, otherwise, there would be more and more cultivators coming here. When stronger people than him came over, he wouldn’t even get a mouthful of soup.
Thinking that this was the Moon Immortal Sea, the other party would not be able to send out the news of the appearance of the underground market at all, this Immortal King instead strongly resisted the thought of killing Di Jiu and stared at him coldly, “I, Hao Ran, work without shame and never try to oppress anyone to do anything, all the friends who are grouped here are willing on their own. But not everyone can fish in the water in front of me, it’s your freedom if you don’t join our group. But I’ll say something ugly up front, if we find a place and you sit back and enjoy it, don’t blame me for being ungracious.”
Di Jiu said indifferently, “All the people here who find the place can go in first, no one must wait for you Hao Ran, don’t take yourself seriously.”
If the other party made a move, Di Jiu didn’t mind giving the other party a lesson. Lest when the time came to search for something himself, someone would come and shout.
Di Jiu’s words however made many cultivators’ hearts stir, yes, if they found the entrance, that entrance would not even need numerous people to attack together, why should they have to wait for Hao Ran?
Hao Ran snorted coldly, still not making a move, “Let’s go, one direction per team. Once we find the formation gate, everyone gather and attack. This kind of large workshop defensive formation gate is definitely not something that a few dozen people can open.”
Hao Ran’s last words were to tell those cultivators who had gotten petty thoughts that this kind of workshop formation door was very hard, and that they had to all strike together to break it.
Over a hundred cultivators quickly rushed into the ruins and then quickly disappeared.
The three Ran Zhi Ren were relieved to see that Hao Ran did not make a move. Hao Ran was an Immortal King powerhouse, once he made his move, they would still be dead even if they joined forces. What’s more, there were over a hundred other people here, and since these people had chosen Hao Ran as their leader, how could they stand by and watch.
Di Jiu had saved their lives, so to leave Di Jiu like this was unjustifiable in both reason and sense. To seek survival in the Moon Immortal Sea, one could not do something like abandoning one’s teammates, otherwise, then one could only leave the place.
“Brother Qu, what do we do?” Lou Jia also breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask Di Jiu.
Di Jiu immediately said, “Let’s go too, we must find the entrance to the workshop before these people, you few can just follow me.”
The three of them did not doubt Di Jiu’s words much, Di Jiu’s cultivation level might be similar to theirs, but Di Jiu’s formation dao level was definitely far stronger than a few of them.
Di Jiu also quickly rushed into the ruins, the direction he went was completely different from the direction the four teams of cultivators in front of him had gone, but was at a location to the side.
Although Ran Zhi Ren wanted to remind Di Jiu that if there had been an ancient market here, it must have been in the middle of the ruins, and definitely not on the side of the ruins.
Now it was Di Jiu who was leading the group, even if he had to say it, he would have to wait until Di Jiu could not find it before bringing it up.
Di Jiu was also surprised the more he walked. It was reasonable to say that if there was a workshop here, it would be in the middle of the ruins even if it was not in the middle of the ruins. Now he had obviously walked away from the ruins range, and if he walked some more, it was estimated that he would be close to the sea.
“Brother Qu, those people said there was an ancient workshop in the ruins, they should have gotten some kind of message, should we still go to the ruins to look for it?” Ran Zhi Ren finally couldn’t help but speak up.
Di Jiu waved his hand at Ran Zhi Ren, but stopped, the dao fire pulsating more and more violently from where he was standing.
In front of him was a withered vine root, a water-saving vine. It had little aura and was not considered an immortal spirit object, but this vine was very long-lived. As long as it had enough years, it could grow even to a thickness of ten or so feet.
The vine root in front of Di Jiu was at least ten feet long.
Even with Di Jiu’s level 8 Immortal Formation Dao, he could not detect any traces of formation here. Di Jiu instructed Ran Zhi Ren to back off and he opened his Dao pupil.
Under the dao pupil, some faint traces of formation dao laws appeared, and Di Jiu was wildly happy as he raised his hand and grabbed the formation flags and threw them down.
This formation was of a very high grade, and if it wasn’t for the Dao pupil, he wouldn’t have been able to discover it. Since Dao Hitomi had found the traces, it was not that difficult for him to open the formation.
After a dozen formation flags were dropped, a dark entrance appeared in front of the four of them.
Ran to Ren the three exclaimed in surprise, “Starfire Square Market ……”
It was indeed Starfire Place, and above this dark entrance were four words, none other than Starfire Place.
“Everyone hurry in.” Di Jiu was the first to rush in.
Ran Zhi Ren and the others suppressed their ecstasy and rushed in after them. As soon as Di Jiu brought his hand, the formation flag he had thrown out once again returned to his hand, and the entrance to the Square Market that he had opened disappeared.
As several people walked through the darkened section of the path, there was a sudden brightness in front of them.
“This is the Bright Light Immortal Formation …… so many corpse bones ……” Lou Jia exclaimed in shock, and then her shock stuck, she found that besides these corpse bones, the things inside those shops were actually All of them were there. Not only that, the rings on these corpse bones were also all there.
In just a few moments, the crowd was in ecstasy, Xue Jingkong could no longer hold back his frantic rush, then desperately swept those rings into his arms.
On the contrary, Ran Zhi Ren and Lou Jia looked at Di Jiu, although they also wanted to rush up as frantically as Xue Jingkong, they knew very well that this was the place Di Jiu had brought them to. Now that Di Jiu hadn’t gone for it or said how it would be distributed, it was a bit much to rush up and grab it like that.
Even if they did not make it clear that Di Jiu was the captain of the four, they all knew very well in their hearts that Di Jiu had vaguely become the captain of the four.
In just a few breaths of time, Xue Jingkong rushed into a very large merchant building and his figure disappeared from the gaze of the crowd.
Di Jiu sighed and took out two formation flags, casually striking hundreds of arcane prohibitions and handing them to Ran Zhi Ren and Lou Jia, “This place has a lot to offer, but I suggest you don’t stay too long. There is definitely not one entrance to this market, and I reckon those people will soon find the entrance to the market from somewhere else. After you have found enough cultivation resources, flee this place immediately. As long as you activate this formation flag, you can teleport out through the formation gate we came in through.”
“Many thanks, Brother Qu.” Ran Zhi Ren and Lou Jia received the formation flag with excitement and did not mention anything about Di Jiu not saying anything about giving Xue Jingkong the formation flag.
Di Jiu nodded, “Good, let’s all go make our own fortunes, this market is huge, I’m going to make my fortune too. I’ll see you later as fate would have it.”
After saying these words, Di Jiu’s body shaped to one side and directly rushed towards a small path next to the market.
There were indeed many treasures in the square market, but Di Jiu took a look and saw that many of these treasures had been corroded away by age. Even for those rings, not every one of them was useful. The most important thing for him now was to go and find the thing that caused the Dao Fire to jump, that was the treasure that would be most useful to him.
“Fellow Daoist Qu is remarkable.” Ran Zhi Ren looked at the direction Di Jiu had gone and said softly before he said to Lou Jia, “Senior sister Lou, let’s go look for the treasure too, then we’ll meet up at the edge of Yin Fire Island and leave here together.”
“Good.” Lou Jia understood the meaning of Ran Zhi Ren’s words, Xue Jingkong had forgotten his kindness when he met something good, and without getting Di Jiu’s formation flag, they would definitely not join Xue Jingkong when they went back. As for Qu Xiaoshu, they were sure that Qu Xiaoshu would not go back with them either.
……
Di Jiu’s divine thought recluse was extremely swift when he casted, and in just a few minutes’ time, he stopped in front of an inconspicuous stone house.
The outside of the stone house was lined with prohibitions, Di Jiu raised his hand and directly pulled open the prohibitions and rushed in, a fierce and extreme heat wave came over him.
Without even thinking about it Di Jiu just blasted out with a punch.
“Boom!” The scorching heat wave gave a lurch, followed by a floating belt that was ten feet long appearing in front of Di Jiu’s eyes.
This was the Starry Sky Fire Marrow? Di Jiu was then sure that this was the Starry Sky Fire Marrow. He finally understood what Dao Fire wanted to come here for, it was too difficult for Dao Fire to advance after reaching the eighth level of Immortal Flame. But the Starry Sky Fire Marrow could completely solve the problem of Dao Fire’s advancement.
Di Jiu did not hesitate to grab the Dao Fire, and as soon as it came out, it pounced on the Starry Sky Fire Marrow.
No matter how strong the Starry Sky Fire Marrow was, it was still just a material born from the starry sky. When it was caught by the Dao Fire, a wave of fire of hundreds of feet immediately erupted.
Di Jiu ignored the Dao Fire, he was stunned by the pile of stuff in the centre of this room, that was definitely Yan Light divine Iron. A piece of Yan Light divine Iron like this was worth a fortune, and he saw a small mountain here.
Next to this pile of Yan Light divine Iron, there was also a flying shuttle that was about to be refined.
