Ninth In the World

Chapter 450: The Immortal World’s Top Pill

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There was almost a month left before Ye Xi’s Immortal Fruit Meeting and Di Jiu once again prepared to enter seclusion. He intended to extract the Grayish-Purple Lattice this time to see if he could analyze the Lattice Spiritual Elixir.

Chi Yuanqing, who had been recuperating ever since he had been saved, came over. Although he was an Immortal King expert, he had been pinned in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City’s Defense Array for several years and his Essence Energy had been damaged greatly. His daughter, Chi Xun-er, was facing imminent death.

It could be said that if Di Jiu had not come to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City, Chi Yuanqing and Chi Xun-er would only have waited to die.

“Brother Di, without you, my daughter Chi Xun-er and I would not exist in the world anymore.” Chi Yuanqing led his daughter to bow sincerely before Di Jiu for saving their lives once they entered his room.

He had initially wanted to become friends with a top-notch Immortal Alchemy Master so he had gotten close to Di Jiu. He now realized that he had made a wise decision back then.

Di Jiu promptly allowed Chi Yuanqing and Chi Xun-er to have a seat and said regretfully, “The two of you were implicated by me. If it hadn’t been for me, you guys would not have suffered such a serious offense.”

Chi Yuanqing shook his head. “No. If it wasn’t for you, Xun-er and I would have been killed. I went out to search for the Immortal Spirit Tea Tree for you and inquired about my father, Chi Zhengshan, at the same time. I discovered that his disappearance was largely related to the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City’s Jie Guangmao.

After I heard this news, Jie Guangmao also found out. However, I wasn’t sure at the time. I returned to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to give you the Tea Tree that I found and I brought my daughter to the Lunar Forsaken Tomb to search for the Immortal Supremacy opportunity after that. I didn’t think that I would be captured by that bastard Jie Guangmao once I arrived in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City.”

Di Jiu sighed. In this world, being weak was a crime. He took out two rings and handed them to Chi Yuanqing and Chi Xun-er before he said, “There are enough cultivating resources inside. You can use them...”

“Brother Di, I can’t take this. You have saved my daughter twice and saved me once. How could I...”

Before Chi Yuanqing could finish his sentence, Di Jiu interrupted him with his gestures. “I killed Jie Guangmao. I suppose your things are also here with me. There are two Intent Supremacy Elixirs in the rings I’ve given you. After you recover your Essence Energy fully, you can try becoming an Immortal Supremacy...”

“Ah...” When Chi Yuanqing heard about the Intent Supremacy Elixirs, he suddenly stood up excitedly and bowed before Di Jiu once again. “Thank you for your generosity. I really can’t turn away these elixir pills. If you have any errands for me hereafter, I will never say no.”

Chi Yuanqing could not get his hands on the Intent Supremacy Elixirs, let alone while his father, Chi Zhengshan, was still around.

One elixir pill was far more precious than his original ring, yet Di Jiu had just given him two. It was clear that one of them was for his daughter, Chi Xun-er.

Di Jiu laughed. “Since we are friends, you don’t have to worry. You should head back and recuperate first. Oh, that’s right. When you are free, you can invite a few people along and open the Peace Hotel for business. There is also something you have to remember. Don’t go to the Lunar Forsaken Tomb again. It is not a good place.”

In the Lunar Forsaken Tomb was their Dharma treasure, River and Mountain Kettle. Di Jiu did not even know where to refine such a Dharma treasure. Who knew whether Zhong You would take back the Dharma treasure in the future? Once this Dharma treasure was retrieved by its owner, all the cultivators inside would meet their doom without any chance of reincarnation.

When Chi Yuanqing left, he made up his mind. He had to make the Peace Hotel big.

He had not opened his business ever since his daughter had fallen ill, but he’d had two shops in the Gigantic Tripod Immortal City in the past.

...

After he sent away Chi Yuanqing and his daughter, Di Jiu concentrated on entering seclusion to analyze and extract the Grayish-Purple Lattice.

With the help of the spatial fluctuation in the Jumbo Footprint, he instantly separated the Grayish-Purple Lattice from the Heavenly Purple Lattice. The Grayish-Purple Lattice he separated had to be used immediately and its effect was more severe. A cultivator with a weaker Spiritual Sea would have torn it apart with the Grayish-Purple Lattice.

Even Di Jiu’s Spiritual Sea had almost been torn apart once by the Grayish-Purple Lattice.

Di Jiu intended to make use of the time law to extract the Grayish-Purple Lattice. If it still did not work, he could only leave it. His Spiritual Force was already a level-nine Immortal Force, so even a Great Immortal Emperor’s Spiritual Force was not stronger than his.

Di Jiu took out three Heavenly Purple Lattices. He had extracted so many of them that he was very familiar with it. Thus, he removed any impurities from the Grayish-Purple Lattice among the Heavenly Purple Lattice. As soon as he separated the impurities and medicinal liquid, he provided a fluctuation in the spatial law and swallowed the medicinal liquid he had separated.

The Grayish-Purple Lattice would disintegrate as soon as it was extracted from the Heavenly Purple Lattice. This time, Di Jiu opened the divine power of time law the moment he separated the medicinal liquid and impurities.

When a divine power of time law landed on the Grayish-Purple Lattice medicinal liquid, it instantly stopped disintegrating permanently. Di Jiu transferred several drops of the medicinal liquid that had been extracted into the delicate jade bottle.

He had succeeded on his first try?

After several minutes, Di Jiu opened the jade bottle again. As his Spiritual Force landed on the medicinal liquid in the jade bottle, he could feel a strong fluctuation aura. This showed that the medicinal liquid had not disintegrated.

Di Jiu poured the Grayish-Purple Lattice in the jade bottle into his mouth without the slightest hesitation. A wave of heat instantly filled his Purple Palace.

His Spiritual Force Training Art was completed. Di Jiu could clearly feel his Spiritual Force increasing slowly.

His Spiritual Force was already a level-nine Immortal Force, but he could sense his Spiritual Force improving. Cultivators with a weaker Spiritual Force could definitely sense their Spiritual Force improving even if they didn’t have the Spiritual Force Training Art.

This was the true Grayish-Purple Lattice. Di Jiu felt great joy. He needed the time law to extract the Grayish-Purple Lattice from the Heavenly Purple Lattice. He also had to freeze the medicinal liquid the moment he extracted the Grayish-Purple Lattice. It was no wonder that nobody had discovered the Grayish-Purple Lattice in the Heavenly Purple Lattice all these years.

Even if they had discovered it, they would have been unable to extract it.

He had extracted the Grayish-Purple Lattice, so the next step was much simpler for a grade-eight Immortal Alchemy Supremacy like Di Jiu.

Within several days, Di Jiu combined the Grayish-Purple Lattice, his Spiritual Force Training Art, and his knowledge on different species of immortal spirit herbs to come up with a new elixir pill, the Spiritual River Pill.

The main ingredient of the Spiritual River Pill was the Grayish-Purple Lattice. The Grayish-Purple Lattice was actually a grade-six immortal spirit fluid, but the secondary spirit herb was a level-seven immortal spirit herb, the Emerald Frost-Golden Vine Flower.

Therefore, the Spiritual River Pill had to be considered a grade-seven immortal pill.

The Emerald Frost-Golden Vine Flower was very hard to extract, so by combining it with the Grayish-Purple Lattice, an Immortal Alchemy King who was not capable would not be able to refine it.

The main purpose of the Spiritual River Pill was to recover the Spiritual Sea and condense and expand the Spiritual Force.

Based on its uses, the Spiritual River Pill was probably considered the most precious grade-seven immortal pill. Its process made it even more precious than the Glazed Heaven King Elixir.

No matter how precious the Glazed Heaven King Elixir was, it was only used to advance to an Immortal King. There was also a limit to the group of people who used such elixir pills, who were the perfected Zenith Heaven Immortals.

The Spiritual River Pill was used within the entire group of cultivators, regardless of their cultivation level or type of cultivation techniques. This pill was something that needed to be used.

After Di Jiu refined all the Heavenly Purple Lattices in his body into Spiritual River Pills, Ye Xi’s Immortal Fruit Meeting was about to start.

Di Jiu sorted his things out and went out of the cave abode. He was prepared to participate in Ye Xi’s Immortal Fruit Meeting with Zhong Ao.

Ye Xi rose very quickly. It seemed as if he rose from this void after hearing his name. The reputation of the Four Major Immortal Continents’ strongest expert was not a reputation anyone could just acquire.

If he hadn’t been certain, he would not have invited Di Jiu to the Immortal Fruit Meeting.

He had not waited for other people to come to the Peace Hotel back then because he had been afraid. Who knew whether Ye Xi was thinking the same way he was?

Therefore, Di Jiu intended to invite Yin Wushang along as well. With Yin Wushang and Zhong Ao around, Ye Xi would have to put up with him no matter how impressive he was.

“I reckoned that you were probably going to come out.” Di Jiu came out of the room and saw Zhong Ao standing outside.

Di Jiu chuckled and took out a jade bottle. He handed it to Zhong Ao and said, “Old Zhong, try it. It’s an elixir pill I refined not too long ago. Please tell me your thoughts.”

Zhong Ao laughed without any care. He took the jade bottle and opened it, putting one Spiritual River Pill into his mouth.

Di Jiu was a grade-eight Immortal Alchemy Supremacy after all, so the fact that he had come up with an elixir formula was not surprising.

When this elixir pill entered his mouth, Zhong Ao’s smile froze immediately and he shouted in astonishment, “This is the elixir pill used to recover and expand the Spiritual Force and condense the Spiritual Sea?”

“That’s right. How is it?” Di Jiu asked in satisfaction. He was very happy about being able to discover the Grayish-Purple Lattice among the Heavenly Purple Lattice.

“Good pill. It’s a good elixir pill...” Zhong Ao held tightly onto the jade bottle in his hands and said excitedly, “This is absolutely the best pill in the Immortal World. It’s a pity that the grade of these elixir pills is a bit low and cannot allow my Spiritual Force to recover fully...”

Zhong Ao’s heart thumped suddenly. Di Jiu had now discovered elixir pills that could recover the Spiritual Sea and Spiritual Force, which meant that Di Jiu would be able to discover an even higher level of elixir pills to recover the Spiritual Force.

“Ha ha... Alchemy Emperor Di, I have disturbed you again. I heard Daoist Zhong mention the top pill in the Immortal World. What kind of elixir pill is that?” Yin Wushang’s loud laughter was suddenly heard.
