Fan Yuan sighed, still pretending to smile as though he was relaxed while he said, “Brother Di, please tell me. As long as I, Fan Yuan, can help, I will do it at any cost.”
Di Jiu chuckled. “Brother Fan, you can certainly help with this. Recently, I made some improvements in my Alchemy Dao. I want to open an elixir dispensary here to acquire Dao fruits. I saw that the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary of Brother Fan is very big. I wonder if you could share half with me?”
Fan Yuan was stunned. He had not expected that Di Jiu would want the shop. Should he give it or not? Just now, he had clearly said he would go all out.
If it had been something else, as long as it did not need to be done immediately, Fan Yuan would definitely have agreed to it verbally and then put it off slowly. He could settle this matter right now. However, Fan Yuan really regretted his superfluous decision to come to the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square.
“Oh, is it difficult for you, Daoist Fan?” Di Jiu responded faintly upon seeing the look on Fan Yuan’s face.
Fan Yuan quickly gestured with his hands. “There’s no difficulty. No difficulty… Kuang He, make some space for Brother Di…”
Before Kuang He could speak, Daoist Di immediately stepped forward and said, “No need to trouble Daoist Kuang. I’ll draw a line.”
While talking, Di Jiu lifted his hand and drew a line in the middle of the Void Booth Elixir Dispensary before he pointed to one side and said, “I’ll take this side.”
Di Jiu’s line had been measured accurately and drawn right in the middle. No more or less.
Fan Yuan was left speechless. He had originally meant for Kuang He to give some space to Di Jiu casually. Now that Di Jiu had drawn the line, he could not disagree. Fortunately, Di Jiu was not unjust. He had not taken the space in the back.
Fan Yuan really did not want to stay, so he said with a forced smile, “It’s good that Brother Di is satisfied. I’ll take my leave now.”
How could Di Jiu not know what Fan Yuan meant? He responded with a smile, “Brother Fan, go do your thing. I’ll just stay here. I can help you look after your booth.”
He would be doing Fan Yuan a favor that did not involve money, so Fan Yuan became increasingly more panicked. Help him take care of it? The Demon Clan’s elixir dispensary was here. Who would dare to cause trouble? Did he still need Di Jiu to help him take care of it?
When Di Jiu was done preparing his elixir dispensary, Luan Wenxing and the other two came back with Kan Zitong.
Even though she was a little dispirited, Kan Zitong had not suffered many injuries. It seemed that Heng Siyue had not had the chance to do anything to her, as he had probably been busy with the opening of the Dao Fruit Pagoda.
“Thank you, Brother Di.” Kan Zitong knew that Di Jiu had rescued her, so she thanked him immediately.
Di Jiu smiled and took out three Dao Fruit Pagoda jade cards while saying, “Ding Chi has the Dao Fruit Pagoda jade card. Divide these three among yourselves. When the Dao Fruit Pagoda opens, you guys can enter it to find Dao fruits. By the way, if you manage to obtain a Primordial Dao Fruit, you can bring it to me for alchemy.”
“A Dao Fruit Pagoda jade card…” Luan Wenxing cried in surprise but immediately came to his senses and looked at Di Jiu in disbelief. “Brother Di, are you a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint?”
…
By the time the Ninth Elixir Dispensary opened for business, the news that Di Jiu was a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint had spread widely in the entire Void City.
A Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint’s arrival to the Void City was not a trivial matter. Almost all the top-notch experts asked about Di Ji’s background immediately.
Then, they discovered what Di Jiu had done in the Dragon Clan and found out that he had killed the Heavenly Purification Clan’s late-stage Primordial Chaos expert, Xiang Mu, and forced the Devil Clan’s Primordial Chaos expert, Ji Lie, to exchange the Luminous Core with him. Since he had arrived a little late at the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square, even Fan Yuan of the Demon Clan had to show him respect and had assigned half of the Dao Fruit Pagoda shop to Di Jiu. Nobody would dare to step forward to say anything to such an expert even if he was a Primordial Chaos Alchemy Saint, let alone a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint.
However, this was not why the Ninth Elixir Dispensary made everyone feel excited. It had released 17 places in the Dao Fruit Pagoda, so anyone could go over to purchase them.
Even though the Dao Fruit Pagoda had yet to open, the entrance of the Ninth Elixir Dispensary was packed with cultivators. Since there was a limited number of places in the Dao Fruit Pagoda, every cultivator who came to the Void City naturally wanted a place inside.
Even though Di Jiu knew that the places in the Dao Fruit Pagoda were very sought-after, he had not expected things to reach such a point. Just within one hour, his 17 place cards were sold.
The lowest price was 800 million high-grade divine crystals, plus some materials. On the other hand, the most expensive had been exchanged for 1.5 billion high-grade divine crystals, excluding some place cards exchanged for blacksmithing materials and other things.
Although no one believed that Di Jiu would refine the Primordial Dao Pills here, everyone remembered the Ninth Elixir Dispensary’s name.
When the Dao Fruit Pagoda opened, Heng Siyue was killed on the square along with every member of the Void City’s Sacred Dao Union, including seven disciples of the Heng Family.
Upon seeing Di Jiu take care of Heng Siyue, Fan Yuan silently sighed over Di Jiu’s conduct style. He was afraid that an ordinary person would have killed Heng Siyue on the spot. However, Di Jiu had not killed Heng Siyue. Instead, he had let other people kill him, causing the Heng Family to be massacred in the Void City. The Heng Family would never have the chance to set foot in the Void City in the future either. If any of them came, they would be killed immediately.
…
After the Dao Fruit Pagoda opened, not only did the cultivators on the square not lessen, but they became more instead. Furthermore, cultivators rushed toward the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square constantly.
The Dao Fruit Pagoda consisted of nine floors, all of which were filled with the most precious Dao fruits. Theoretically, as long as a cultivator could enter the Dao Fruit Pagoda, they would gain a lot. However, this was not the case, as one could only enter it for a short time and danger lurked within. With every floor, the degree of difficulty stacked up. One-tenth of the cultivators would die in the Dao Fruit Pagoda each time.
Therefore, it was considered good if the cultivators entering Dao Fruit Pagoda could rush to the seventh floor. Most cultivators got below the seventh floor, while only a few cultivators could enter the seventh and eighth floors. The cultivators who entered the ninth floor were even rarer.
On the ninth floor was the Primordial Chaos Rainbow Glow Fruit. Even if someone obtained such a Dao fruit, they could not easily take it out. That was why nobody knew how many cultivators reached the ninth floor each time.
Di Jiu had already hung out his sign and listed almost all the refinable Dao Transformation Pills and Primordial Dao Pills, including the Heaven Essence Dao Pill.
“You can refine the Heaven Essence Dao Pill?” An abrupt voice spoke before a beautiful woman in black clothes and a black scarf appeared before Di Jiu. Her voice carried a hint of weariness and loss, as though she didn’t know what to do.
Di Jiu felt strange. He clearly could not see this woman’s looks, but he sensed that she was an extremely beautiful woman.
The woman’s figure was similar to a sculpture. She was not tall, short, fat, or thin. Perhaps this was the perfect body that every woman envied, but Di Jiu had an awkward feeling.
“That’s right, I can refine the Heaven Essence Dao Pill.” Di Jiu nodded. He could refine the Heaven Essence Dao Pill. Even though he had yet to refine it, he believed that he was not wrong.
“You’re lying. You definitely can’t refine the Heaven Essence Dao Pill!” the woman in the black scarf exclaimed coldly with a hint of disdain in her tone.
Di Jiu was not surprised. “I don’t need to prove to you whether I can make it or not. If you want to refine pills and you trust me, do it. Otherwise, please go as far away as you can.”
The woman in the black scarf before him was just at the peak Primordial Dao, so Di Jiu really did not take her seriously.
The woman in black did not get angry. She just looked at the hazy Dao Fruit Pagoda in the distance and explained faintly, “You can’t refine Primordial Dao Pills, not because of your Alchemy Dao level but because this Void Realm lacks the Heaven Earth Law necessary to refine them.”
