Ninth In The World Chapter 665 - The Thing that Tang Xitan Wanted

Chapter 665: The Thing that Tang Xitan Wanted

Ji Hongsen stared at Gou Zibi with a snort and did not say a word. A few Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors stared strangely at Gou Zibi. This made Gou Zibi want to kill Di Jiu with one fist move immediately. How dare a mere Primordial Dao expert scheme against him!

The second to trade was the Surplus Ocean Elixir Dispensary’s Leng Xuping. He was an early-stage Primordial Chaos expert and had one of the weakest cultivation bases besides Di Jiu. What he traded was a half supreme-grade offensive divine weapon, the Double Blade Divine Polearm.

Di Jiu was not interested in that at all. Very soon, another Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor exchanged it with his divine crystals. A mere offensive half-divine weapon was worth 100 million high-grade divine crystals. This made Di Jiu feel that the future of blacksmithing was not bleaker than the future of alchemy.

The third person to trade was Tang Xitan. In Di Jiu’s opinion, even though her cultivation was only at the early-stage Primordial Chaos, she was definitely not considered the person with the third weakest cultivation. Tang Xitan was even stronger than other mid-stage Primordial Chaos experts. However, this was only Di Jiu’s opinion.

Di Jiu somewhat knew what Tang Xitan wanted to trade. He guessed that she did not want something simple. Otherwise, considering that she had no companion, she would not have roped in a Primordial Dao cultivator like Di Jiu. What did this mean? It meant that Tang Xitan was afraid someone would s.n.a.t.c.h her items.

Tang Xitan controlled her inner excitement. She took out a jade box and put it in front of her before saying, “I have a Wood Origin crystal containing a heaven-opening aura. It’s definitely a heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal…”

When numerous cultivators in the hall heard that Tang Xitan had taken out a heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal, they started breathing heavily. The Wood Origin crystal was extremely useful to anyone but not necessarily useful to a wood-element Spirit Root and wood-element cultivation technique. Moreover, Tang Xitan had said it was a heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal.

Based on its value, Tang Xitan’s heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal was a bit more precious than Di Jiu’s half bottle of Chaos Qi.

Di Jiu also longed for this Wood Origin crystal. Even if he did not use it, it would be extremely useful for the Little Creation Wood Tree or Little Tree.

The hall quietened down and everyone glanced at Tang Xitan. They wanted to know what her offer was.

Di Jiu had a premonition that he would not be able to obtain this heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal. Tang Xitan had obviously not come for the sake of searching for that connate treasure, but for this trade. Since Tang Xitan had come especially for this, it meant that there was something she fancied.

Tang Xitan’s gaze landed on a bark-faced man as she slowly said, “I only hope to trade it for at least one drop of Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood.”

As expected, she needed something special. Di Jiu’s gaze landed on the bark-faced man. Not only did his skin look like bark, but he also had wrinkles. His face looked like the annual rings of a tree.

After hearing Tang Xitan’s request, the cultivators who had wanted the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal sighed silently. They were not fated to have this thing. Tang Xitan was from the Phoenix Clan, so it was natural that she wanted the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood.

The bark-faced man chuckled. “Daoist Tang is truly well-informed. My Heavenly Purification Clan has just obtained one drop of Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood, so you must know about it.”

Tang Xitan faintly replied, “Daoist Guang Mingzi, just tell me if you’re going to trade it.”

Although she was stronger than an ordinary early-stage Primordial Chaos expert and could even deal with some weaker mid-stage Primordial Chaos experts, she was still a far cry from some mid-stage Primordial Chaos experts. The Heavenly Purification Clan’s bark-faced man was a true mid-stage Primordial Chaos expert.

Di Jiu could hear the helplessness in her tone. She knew the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood was with the Heavenly Purification Clan’s Guang Mingzi but could not trade with him in private. Given her strength, she would have a death wish if she did that. It was obvious that Guang Mingzi was not benevolent.

Guang Mingzi laughed. “It doesn’t matter to me whether I trade it or not. However, since you need it, there’s no harm in trading with you, Daoist Tang. The value of your item is still not enough. You should know that this drop of Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood originated from the death of the Phoenix Clan’s almighty third-step expert on the Void Divine Parasol Tree.”

Di Jiu sneered deep down. The bark-faced man was really shameless. Di Jiu did not know how strong a third-step expert was. However, he was sure that Tang Xitan’s heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal was more precious than Guang Mingzi’s Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood. Guang Mingzi also needed the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal, even though there was no change in his expression. Di Jiu knew very well that when Tang Xitan had taken out the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal, there had been a fluctuation in this fellow’s surrounding law. This also meant that he actually wanted it too much.

Tang Xitan bit her lips. When she was about to say something, a voice rang out beside her ear all of a sudden. “Senior Sister Xitan, if you believe me, don’t add any more things. Trade with me now and I a.s.sure you I’ll obtain the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood for you.”

Tang Xitan hurriedly lifted her head to check in all directions and saw that n.o.body had sensed anything odd. She was amazed, as she had guessed Di Jiu’s strength. Since Di Jiu had sent her a voice transmission without anyone finding out, she was inferior compared to his strength. When she recalled that Di Jiu had plotted against Gou Zibi, Tang Xitan suddenly felt some antic.i.p.ation.

Di Jiu suddenly took out a jade box and said, “Senior Sister Xitan, I have something here to trade with you. Is this a deal?”

Tang Xitan replied, “Junior Brother Di, you have to open the box for everyone to see what you’re trading. Trading in private is not allowed here.”

Di Jiu understood in a flash. It was no wonder that Tang Xitan had mentioned the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal first. It turned out that this was such a trade meeting.

Di Jiu did not mind. He opened the jade box and said, “I have a book of the Five-Element escape technique divine power here.”

This Five-Element escape technique divine power had belonged to Jiang Dai. Di Jiu knew there were some problems with this thing and could roughly guess where the problems lay now. However, his current Spiritual Force escape technique and nomological escape technique were far stronger than the Five-Element escape technique. He could not bother modifying this escape technique and would rather trade it away.

Of course, Di Jiu appeared to be trading with Tang Xitan. In fact, he had no intention of letting her learn this Five-Element escape technique. He reckoned that she could not learn it either. The Phoenix Clan’s escape technique was heaven-defying, so it would not be weaker than this Five-Element escape technique.

Even though Tang Xitan did not need it, the same did not apply to the others. The Five-Element escape technique was a great divine power. Apart from a few people, most people urgently needed it.

“Daoist Di, I’ll trade three Primordial Dao Dao fruits and one high-grade divine spirit meridian for your Five-Element escape technique. How about that?” As expected, once Di Jiu took out the Five-Element escape technique, someone made an offer.

Those who had not offered anything were clearly preparing to make an offer, as the Five-Element escape technique was not simple.

“It’s a deal.” They had not expected that even though Tang Xitan had not seemed eager to trade for anything besides the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood, she would trade without any hesitation when Di Jiu took out the Five-Element escape technique.

“Ha ha… That’s really great. I have a wood-element beast companion. This heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal will definitely allow it to advance by one step…” Di Jiu laughed, ready to throw his Five-Element escape technique to Tang Xitan.

“Hold on. I agree to trade something for your Wood Origin crystal.” Upon seeing that Di Jiu and Tang Xitan were about to trade, Guang Mingzi immediately agreed.

It did not matter even if the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal was traded by Di Jiu at first. He would take it back from Di Jiu later on, yet Di Jiu’s last sentence made him frantic. If Di Jiu threw this heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal to his pet to eat, he would have nowhere to go to cry about that.

The Heavenly Purification Clan considered the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal something rare. He’d wanted Tang Xitan to add a Phoenix Fire Flower, but he had not expected Di Jiu to interrupt.

Even though he speculated that Di Jiu had most likely schemed with Tang Xitan, he dared not risk this.

Di Jiu was about to send a voice transmission to tell Tang Xitan not to accept the trade so that the bark-faced man would increase the offer. However, he had not expected that Tang Xitan would agree to the trade quickly and throw her things at Guang Mingzi.
