Chapter 572: Hard to Condense the Dao Seed

No matter what, Di Jiu no longer dared to use his Spiritual Force to examine this fellow’s cultivation aura.

The inn a.s.sistant told Di Jiu, “Senior, I will come to your room later and tell you more details about the auction house.”

The inn a.s.sistant also clearly sensed that this fellow, who had come to inquire about the rooms, was not simple. Hence, he dared not leave him to handle Di Jiu’s affairs.

“Alright.” Di Jiu did not speak further. He did not really want to stay any longer with this fellow, who had a high cultivation level, either.

“Sir, there are still a few more high-cla.s.s cave abodes here. One will cost you 1,000 high-grade divine crystals per night…” said the inn a.s.sistant respectfully after he sent Di Jiu away.

“I’ll have one high-cla.s.s abode then for a month,” this cultivator said faintly as he took out a storage bag and threw it before the inn a.s.sistant.

The inn a.s.sistant replied respectfully, “Alright. How shall I address you, Senior?”

“Sha Wushang.” The cultivator’s tone remained the same.

When Di Jiu heard the name Sha Wushang, he had already walked up the stairs, as his room number was 531. He was sure that Sha Wushang was somewhat related to the owner of the heptagonal Dao Seed that he had put away.

“What’s the name of the cultivator who just went up?” Di Jiu felt uneasy, as he had not expected Sha Wushang to inquire about his full name.

He only sensed that Sha Wushang was somewhat connected to the heptagonal Dao Seed he had put away. He did not reveal any flaws, right?

Oh, that’s right. When he had turned his head around and seen this cultivator, he had felt a trace of aura and some slight mood fluctuations that were almost negligible.

Di Jiu frowned. If this cultivator could sense that negligible fluctuation, the only possibility was that he was powerful to an unimaginable extent.

“Sir, he’s called Di Da.” The inn a.s.sistant was increasingly respectful.

Di Jiu sat in the middle of the room without using the nomological array flags. He could not be certain whether his nomological array flags would be revealed before an expert like Sha Wushang. He did not even modify his room’s Defense Array.

Sha Wushang had booked an abode for a month, while Di Jiu had only booked one for 10 days. Thus, he had priority.

Di Jiu did not sit long before the inn a.s.sistant came to his room.

“I apologize for neglecting you earlier. Please forgive me.” The inn a.s.sistant was clearly nimble as he bowed before Di Jiu the moment he came in.

Right away, Di Jiu could sense a faint Spiritual Force aura around him. His heart sank. That cultivator had some thoughts indeed. If he was not cultivating the Nomological Dao, he would not have sensed this faint Spiritual Force aura.

However, Di Jiu very soon pushed away his worry. This was the First Evolution Sacred Dao City. No matter how high the other party’s cultivation level was, he would not dare make a move here forcefully. Di Jiu just needed to be more careful when he went out.

“It’s alright. I also sensed that cultivator’s unfathomable strength. I was just as startled as you were. I suspect he is an expert who has surpa.s.sed the first step,” Di Jiu said casually as he gestured with his hands.

Sha Wushang had indeed felt somewhat strange, as Di Jiu’s heart had started thumping upon seeing him. Even though it had been extremely faint, he had immediately sensed it. He was a Primordial Dao expert after all.

However, he was relieved when he heard Di Jiu’s words. As far as Di Jiu’s cultivation level was concerned, at first glance, he seemed to be a fellow who had not even condensed his Dao Seed. Therefore, it was normal for Di Jiu to react that way upon seeing him. It would have been abnormal if he had not reacted.

He was absolutely sure that Di Jiu could not sense the Spiritual Force on him. He was a Primordial Dao expert, so if he was discovered just by checking up on a mere Immortal Emperor’s aura, he must have made a foolish mistake.

Sha Wushang withdrew his Spiritual Force. It looked like he was being too cautious.

Upon sensing that Sha Wushang’s Spiritual Force had been withdrawn, Di Jiu truly heaved a sigh of relief. He secretly rejoiced, for Sha Wushang had not used his Spiritual Force to check up on his appearance by force. Although he had used nomological techniques to disguise himself, if Sha Wushang was really a second-step expert, this technique of his might not necessarily have been useful against Sha Wushang.

It was not that he was incapable, but his cultivation level was simply trash.

“Sir, the auction house is held by the First Evolution Dao Sect and the First Evolution Sacred Dao City’s biggest Chamber of Commerce, so there will be sufficient quality items. The ticket price is also not low. A lounge ticket costs 5,000 high-grade divine crystals, while the cheapest cabin costs 20,000 high-grade divine crystals…”

Before he could finish, Di Jiu took out a storage bag and handed it to the inn a.s.sistant. “I want the cheapest cabin.”

“Yes, sir. Don’t worry. I will get this done immediately and send over the auction house jade card,” the inn a.s.sistant said happily as he took the storage bag.

Based on his expression, Di Jiu knew this inn a.s.sistant could get the cabin at a price lower than 20,000. Since he had wanted to give him a small tip and the inn a.s.sistant had earned it, Di Jiu did not bother giving him anything else.

When the inn a.s.sistant left, Di Jiu started setting up the Defense Array in his room. He did not use nomological array flags but normal array flags.

Half a day pa.s.sed. When Di Jiu’s Defense Array had been set up, the inn a.s.sistant returned. He handed Di Jiu an auction house jade card and told him the event would be held in the Pearl Chamber of Commerce.

When he heard that, Di Jiu looked a bit distracted. Back then, he had come out of Pearl City and become an Immortal Emperor…

How much had happened in between? He could only sigh eventually. The most important thing for him now was how to condense his Dao Seed and undergo Dao Modeling.

After sending away the inn a.s.sistant, Di Jiu set up the restriction and started entering seclusion to deduce how to condense his Dao Seed.

Day by day flew by. Soon, seven days had pa.s.sed. Di Jiu had stopped deducing how to condense his Dao Seed. Not only had he not made any progress whatsoever in seven days, but he also had no idea what to do.

It looked like it would not work behind closed doors. He could only invest in the First Evolution Dao Sect Primordial Chaos Patriarch’s Dao discussion. He hoped he could sense the method to condense his Dao Seed from the Dao runes during the Primordial Chaos Patriarch’s Dao discussion.

There were only three days left until the auction house. Di Jiu left his room to stroll in the First Evolution Sacred Dao City.

Ever since he had entered the Dao World, he had never wandered around its Sacred City. He was a blacksmith as well as an alchemist, which required a huge amount of elixir formulas and divine spirit herbs.

After killing Dao Modeling Alchemy Deity Ji Mi, he had obtained some elixir formulas from his ring that Di Jiu looked down on.

Di Jiu had never strolled in the Lackl.u.s.ter Ocean Divine City before so he roughly scanned it with his Spiritual Force. Besides the pathway at the entrance, the First Evolution Sacred Dao City was a bit better than the entire Lackl.u.s.ter Ocean Divine City.

On both streets of the First Evolution Sacred Dao City were all sorts of high-end shops. Di Jiu casually entered a cultivation technique shop, where even a book on the most common Dao cultivation techniques cost tens of thousands of high-grade divine crystals.

Di Jiu sighed silently. Fortunately, he had earned a huge sum. Otherwise, he would not have been able to afford even a book on cultivation techniques even if he added up everything he had on him.

“Senior Brother Yue, Senior Sister He, I sincerely apologize for what happened previously. It was my fault, I…”

An apology could be heard from the door. However, before the man could finish, he was cruelly interrupted. “Huang Li’ai, we wouldn’t dare be your Senior Brother and Senior Sister. Please stop following us. Given your great capability, why do you still need us to take you for a test trial? You better do it on your own since we cannot do so…”

A man and woman were standing at the door of the shop while the man who had spoken looked and sounded disdainful.

“Senior Brother Yue, I really was wrong. I didn’t mean to belittle you by what I said previously…” The young man pleaded as he followed the man and the woman.

Di Jiu felt like he had captured something, but the information did not linger in his mind.

He could vaguely sense that this thing would be very important throughout his lifetime and he needed to grab onto it.

The man and woman, who were prepared to come in, got annoyed with Huang Li’ai, who was pleading behind them. When they were about to turn and leave, Di Jiu hurriedly stopped the two of them.
