When the fat young man’s Spiritual Force landed on Di Jiu’s ring, his expression suddenly changed. This was the first time he had seen so many supreme-grade divine spirit meridians—five supreme-grade divine spirit meridians to be exact. As for high-grade divine crystals, there was a pile of as many as 200 or 300 million in that ring.
He was unaware that this was only a small part of the divine spirit meridians and divine crystals of Di Jiu. If he discovered this, he would probably go crazy.
Even the Mo Family’s income was just a billion divine crystals, not to mention the income of Heaven’s Beyond.
The fat young man responded quickly, “Big Brother, put them away quickly. This is not a particularly safe place.”
Di Jiu’s wealth made this fat young man feel that he should still be called Big Brother.
Di Jiu put away the ring. “Can you tell me now where I can purchase level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver? Of course, I will pay you a fee.”
The fat young man replied in embarrassment, “Big Brother, level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver can’t just be purchased with divine crystals. As for whether you can buy it with divine spirit meridians, I don’t know about that. Generally, level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver is exchanged with top-notch treasures.”
Upon hearing that, Di Jiu was a little surprised. However, he evaluated this fat young man. If this guy wanted to take him to a place and quietly steal his divine crystals and divine spirit meridians, he would just have a death wish.
“My name is Di Jiu. Tell me if you have any way of getting that. If you don’t, I’ll go to the Xian Ocean first,” Di Jiu said.
The fat young man quickly cupped his fists. “Big Brother Di, my name is Qu Fang. I have been in the Xian Family for a while. I’ll tell you a secret. Big Brother, you know that the Xian Family is in charge of the Xian Ocean, right? This place wasn’t originally the Xian Ocean. After the Xian Family came, they changed its name to Xian Ocean.”
Di Jiu nodded. “That’s right. I know all that.”
Qu Fang chuckled and lowered his voice again. “Big Brother, it’s very hard for cultivators of our level to obtain Supreme Glazed True Silver. We don’t even qualify to participate in the Xian Family’s trade meeting. However, I recently heard that the Xian Family discovered a mystic area in the Xian Ocean that is going to open. As long as that mystic area opens, there will definitely be level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver inside. It’s very hard to enter that mystic area, but I have a way…”
Di Jiu looked at Qu Fang speechlessly. He had been invited to participate in the opening of the Xian Family’s mystic area, but he had unexpectedly been fooled by a Dao Birth cultivator for more than half a day.
Just as Di Jiu was about to decline and say that he would go in by himself, he suddenly saw Qu Fang’s expression change dramatically as he lowered his head.
Di Jiu didn’t have to look back to sense a powerful Spiritual Force sweep over and pause on Qu Fang for a while before leaving.
What a pure and powerful Spiritual Force! Di Jiu scanned it with his Spiritual Force and found the owner of that Spiritual Force. It was a very beautiful woman in a light green dress with a jade flute on her back. That perfect figure of hers was just right, nothing more or less than that. Her skin had a sacred complexion that nobody dared to look directly at, as she had been born to stand on top of others.
What shocked Di Jiu even more was not the beauty of the woman, but the circulating Dao runes all over her, which were definitely only linked to the most top-notch cultivation techniques. From his perspective, he could naturally see this at first glance. The cultivation level of that woman was only at the early-stage Primordial Chaos Realm. However, Di Jiu had never seen such perfect Dao runes as she walked out in a legendary manner.
Di Jiu felt that there were indeed hidden talents in the vast universe, which contained countless capable people.
He doubted that he was not that woman’s match, as he was in the late-stage Primordial Dao Realm. In fact, he could even kill a late-stage Primordial Chaos expert, and this woman seemed to have just reached the Primordial Chaos Realm.
“Big Brother, I’ll give you an address. You can find this person after entering the Xian Ocean, or he can find a way for you to enter the mystic area. I can’t go with you. I’m leaving…”
Qu Fang hurriedly grabbed a piece of jade slip and handed it to Di Jiu before he turned to leave.
Di Jiu said with a laugh, “Brother Qu, if you leave like this, I’m afraid you will be taken away before you even leave the Xian Ocean’s square.”
Appalled, Qu Fang looked at Di Jiu and stuttered, “Big Brother, how do you…”
“How do I know?” Di Jiu smiled again. “That beautiful lady must be looking for you, right? Did you flee from a marriage? I’m sure she’s already found you. If you leave this place now, she will leave as well and capture you.”
Qu Fang finally calmed down and replied with a sigh, “Big Brother, do I look like I could get married to her? That woman just wants to kill me.”
Puzzled, Di Jiu looked at Qu Fang. “Why does she want to kill you?”
Qu Fang was actually not bad. At least, Di Jiu felt that way. However, that woman did not seem to be heinous, so why did she want to kill Qu Fang for no reason? Given Qu Fang’s cultivation level, he was not qualified to start a feud with that woman at all.
Qu Fang sighed again. “Because of something my family has. My father showed me her portrait and asked me to run far away with that thing. I fled to the Xian Ocean, but I didn’t expect that she would still catch up.”
Di Jiu understood what Qu Fang was thinking. Qu Fang knew that he could not escape that woman, so he talked about it.
“Do you think she has already started to do something to your family?” Di Jiu suddenly thought that since that woman had chased him down to this place, maybe she had killed every member of the Qu Family.
Qu Fang froze for a moment and then answered subconsciously, “That’s impossible. Worst-case scenario, I’ll just give it to her.”
However, Di Jiu, who had already seen the horror and worry in Qu Fang’s eyes, sighed silently. Qu Fang was definitely the kind of person who was always in reclusive cultivation at home.
“What is that thing exactly?” Di Jiu asked again.
As soon as he asked that, Di Jiu knew that Qu Fang would not show it to him. That thing could not be simple given the fact that he had been chased by a Primordial Chaos cultivator to this place. Qu Fang was not a fool, so how could he show him that thing casually?
Di Jiu had not expected that Qu Fang would immediately say, “Big Brother, I hid that thing in my Spiritual Sea. It’s a guqin[1]. I’ll show it to you…”
“Hold on…” Di Jiu stopped Qu Fang and said in confusion, “Qu Fang, anything that can be sent into the Spiritual Sea is a top-notch treasure. How can you show it to others so casually?”
Stunned, Qu Fang replied casually, “Big Brother, even if I don’t show it to you, that woman will still take me away. This guqin is not really mine anymore. Besides, you have shown me that ring, which contains so much precious stuff. Thus, I think that it would be fine to show it to you… Oh no…”
“What’s wrong?” Di Jiu looked at Qu Fang.
Qu Fang’s eyes quickly scanned the place where that woman had been before he said hurriedly, “Big Brother, I’m afraid I’ve implicated you.”
Di Jiu laughed and patted Qu Fang’s shoulder while saying, “Brother Qu, if you trust me, come with me to the Xian Ocean.”
“Alright, I’ll go to the Xian Ocean with you, Big Brother.” Qu Fang gritted his teeth, knowing that he would die regardless of whether he left now or went to the Xian Ocean. In that case, he would rather do as he wished.
“By the way, where is that woman from? What’s her name?” Di Jiu led Qu Fang to the array door of the Xian Ocean as he asked questions casually.
Qu Fang shook his head. “I don’t know where she comes from. I only know that her name is Xing Xi.”
Xing Xi? Di Jiu nodded and did not ask anything else. He had never heard of that name. In any case, he would not take an early-stage Primordial Chaos expert seriously.
“Big Brother, I’ll help you find a way to enter the mystic area.” Qu Fang suddenly thought that Di Jiu most likely wanted to escape from Xing Xi through the mystic area by entering the Xian Ocean.
