Di Jiu took a breath, calmed his emotions and said without half a moment’s hesitation, “So it’s Hall Master Jiang, my respects ……”
Speaking of disrespect here, Di Jiu’s voice suddenly turned cold, “I’m from the Derivative Hall Sect, tell Hall Master Jiang that I’m not willing to enter this formation gate, tell him to go find my Derivative Hall Sect’s Patriarch.”
After saying these words, Di Jiu immediately went far away.
Only after he kept walking out for a good distance did Di Jiu secretly scream that it was a fluke. If he had really crossed into that formation gate, he would definitely be the focus of Jiang Dai’s investigation.
Now, if he didn’t step through the formation gate, Jiang Dai might just ask about it.
If someone else just sets up a formation gate and threatens to step through it, then it means you have a ghost in your heart. You must be worried that if you don’t step through the gate, you will be the focus of investigation.
How many of those who enter the Great Dao Ridge are not top geniuses? As a genius, one must naturally have the awareness of a genius. Geniuses naturally don’t just do whatever you say, not to mention that the geniuses here basically represent some powerful sects. To heed Jiang Dai’s words and casually cross into the formation gate would be to disgrace the sect and degrade the sect’s aura.
Even if Jiang Dai was powerful, he wouldn’t dare to casually suppress these powerful clans, right? That’s why that Dao of Transformation cultivator also said that going in or not going in the formation gate was optional. Di Jiu had entered Da Dao Ridge as an outer disciple of the Diffraction Sect, whether he was an outer disciple or not, he was at least one of the top twenty in the Dan Competition. Once he obeyed and entered the formation gate, he would definitely be taken care of by Jiang Dai and would be thoroughly investigated.
On the contrary, if he did not enter the formation gate and even walked away with a big smile, he might be fine.
In Di Jiu’s opinion, there was nothing wrong for some disciples of small clans to enter that formation gate. After all, Jiang Dai’s command, the small sects did not dare to resist.
Seeing Di Jiu leave without entering the formation gate, the cultivator of the Transformation Dao at this entrance looked at the distant Di Jiu in amazement and muttered, “There’s actually one who doesn’t enter the formation gate, good guts.”
If Di Jiu knew that the cultivators who came out in front of him had all entered the formation gate, and even the disciples of the five great sects had entered the formation gate after coming out, he would definitely not have just walked away. He hadn’t thought wrongly, the only thing he thought wrongly was that he had misjudged Jiang Dai’s position in the Dao Realm.
……
Great Weapon City.
Neither a Divine Dao City nor a Sacred Dao City, Great Weapon City was a unique existence in the Dao Realm, with the name Great Weapon.
Despite not being a Sacred Dao City, this city was extremely famous in the entire Dao Realm. The prosperity of Great Weapon City would not be worse than any other Sacred Dao City. No matter what time of day you came here, it was always crowded with people.
The best business here are the various resting inns and resting buildings. But Great Weapon City is a smithing city, and anyone who comes here can buy all kinds of magic treasures and all kinds of materials.
Of course, if you have all kinds of magic treasures and materials, you can also sell them in the Great Weapon City.
There were countless famous artifact smiths here, and it was the Dao Realm’s many Artifact Dao sects that also had their residences here.
When Di Jiu arrived at the Great Weapon City, it was already half a month later, and at this moment, he had disguised himself as a tough young powerhouse. He cultivated the Rule Dao, and as long as he didn’t actively display his cultivation, even a second-step powerhouse standing in front of him wouldn’t necessarily be able to tell his true strength. Most of the strong people in such a costume as Di Jiu were from big clans, and few people would be willing to clash with such people if they were not involved in their own interests.
Why Jiang Dai had intercepted him at Da Da Ling, he understood the moment Di Jiu left Da Da Ling, it must have been the Five Elements Flag.
There must be something wrong with Jiang Dai’s Five Elements Transporting Technique. Although Di Jiu had practised the Five Elements Transporting Technique, he did not hesitate to cut off the Five Elements Transporting Technique when he was shaping his dao. The only thing he had to do with Jiang Dai was the Five Elements Formation Flag. Because if it was a problem in the rest of the world, then Jiang Dai would not have stopped him right at the Great Dao Ridge, he would have stopped him somewhere else long ago.
The Five Elements Flag Di Jiu thought he had refined it, and after what happened at the Great Dao Ridge, Di Jiu was sure that he had not refined the Five Elements Flag. At the Great Dao Ridge, he took out the Five Square Flag, and as a result he was exposed.
Or rather, there were still hidden secrets in the Five Directions Flag that he had not found. This made Di Jiu very worried and he now left the Five Directions Flag in the Ninth World, not daring to take it out. When his flame had advanced, he decided to refine the Five Square Flag again with the Dao Flame, and he didn’t believe that he couldn’t find the traces of Jiang Dai’s mark left behind.
Luckily, Jiang Dai definitely did not know the exact location of his location, so he did not personally stay at the entrance of Da Da Dao Ling, he just had a Dao Transformation cultivator guard the entrance of Da Da Dao Ling just in case.
Di Jiu himself was a divine artifact master who could refine lower grade divine artifacts. Today, Di Jiu had not come to Great Weapon City to refine artifacts or to buy magic treasures, but to come and look for flame-advancing treasures.
The treasures for flame advancement were definitely available in the Great Weapon City.
Di Jiu had already inquired about it, and the most powerful one in the entire Great Weapon City was the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion. Rumour had it that the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion had once appeared as an Innate Treasure. Whether this rumour was true or not, the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion was now the largest in Great Artifact City.
As soon as Di Jiu entered the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion, he saw all kinds of Lower Grade Divine Artifacts. There were only lower grade divine weapons here that you could not think of, there was nothing that you could not see. Di Jiu casually looked at them, and the cheapest Lower Grade Ring Hook required tens of thousands of Upper Grade Divine Crystals.
The better Lower Grade Divine Artefacts ranged from several tens of thousands to several millions. Di Jiu secretly sighed that both dan and weapon refinement were good ways to make money every day. However, both the Dao of Weaponry and the Dao of Dan were equally difficult, an ordinary cultivator didn’t have enough time to cultivate, so how could he have time to delve into the Dao of Weaponry or the Dao of Dan?
Those who were strong in the Weapon Dao, apart from a very few, most of their cultivation levels were not very high, and they had too little time to cultivate.
As far as Di Jiu himself was concerned, if he was cultivating something other than the Dao of Rules, he was just as unqualified to delve into the Dao of Weapons and the Dao of Dan, not to mention cultivating the Dao of Formation on the side.
Di Jiu’s eyes casually turned and saw a huge signboard on one side.
The Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion had seven floors in total, the bottom floor was where all kinds of lower grade divine weapons and low grade refining materials were sold. Similarly, there were all kinds of divine weapons and refining materials brought in and acquired here.
The first floor was where medium-grade divine artefacts were sold, the third floor was where top-grade divine artefacts were sold, the fourth floor was where extremely high-quality divine artefacts were sold, and the fifth floor was where various top-grade materials were sold.
“May I ask senior, what do you want?” A pretty female cultivator saw Di Jiu paying attention to the signage of the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion and hurried over to ask a question.
Di Jiu’s voice was slightly hoarse as she said, “Are there any materials to enhance flame advancement?”
Hearing Di Jiu’s enquiry about flame advancement materials, the pretty female cultivator said with even more enthusiasm, “Senior, if you are advancing a general flame, then I can take you to the fifth floor to have a look.”
The customers who usually asked for flame advancement materials were all truly wealthy owners.
Di Jiu nodded, “Good, you can take me to the fifth floor.”
“Senior, please go this way.” Hearing that Di Jiu really wanted to go to the fifth floor, this female cultivator got a little excited in her heart. None of the things on the fifth floor were cheap, and as long as Di Jiu purchased one, then her commission would be enough for her to cultivate for a while.
Di Jiu followed behind this female cultivator, although he didn’t see a strong person along the way, Di Jiu felt powerful divine thoughts sweeping over him subtly from time to time.
As soon as he entered the fifth floor, Di Jiu was amazed by the materials here. He had also obtained quite a lot of good things, but the things he had obtained, other than the Nirvana Black Genshi and the Law Fragments, were simply out of reach.
Soon Di Jiu saw a few materials to enhance the flames, the Implicit Flame Violet Crystal, the Divine Flame Silkworm Silk, and the Yin Voodoo Inferno Pearl.
The cheapest of these materials, the Flame Containing Amethyst, cost 7 million top grade divine crystals, and the Divine Fire Silkworm Silk was worth 20 million top grade divine crystals.
This made Di Jiu disappointed, although these materials for flame advancement were very expensive, they were not what Di Jiu needed. His flame had advanced from Immortal Flame to Divine Flame, which was a big level crossing, and he had to have something better to do so. If he used these things to cross the big level, it was likely to fail, and even if it succeeded, it would not be good for the Dao Flame. Once the Dao Flame was made to lose its spirituality, then his Dao Flame would be ruined.
“Can there be a better one?” Di Jiu asked with some loss.
When the pretty female cultivator heard Di Jiu’s words, her heart just went dark, she was sure that Di Jiu was pretending. The divine Fire Silkworm Silk Promotion Flame was not good, what could be better?
She still explained patiently, “If you want something better, you will have to go to the Dao Yi Meeting. There is still one hour left before our Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion will hold the Dao Yi Meeting on the sixth floor. If you are lucky, you might be able to exchange for a better promotion material than the Divine Fire Silkworm Silk.”
The Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion had an odd feature, no matter how many good things the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion had, they would never hold an auction. Those who wanted to buy good items from the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion could become a VIP of the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion and then enjoy the qualification to attend the Hundred Nights Dao Yi Meeting at the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion.
Moreover, the Dao Yi Meeting of the Hundred Nights Artifact Pavilion is held frequently, but of course those who can go to the Dao Yi Meeting are all rich masters, and ordinary cultivators are not even qualified to enter the door of the Dao Yi Meeting.
