Crack! Jiao Da used his strength and pulled Fu Lun by his neck immediately.

Jiao Da then opened his palm, throwing Fu Lun far away. Di Jiu could see clearly that Jiao Da had not killed Fu Lun. However, he had crippled Fu Lun’s foundation.

Jiao Da warned him with a snort, “Fan Yuan, on your account, I won’t kill this piece of trash. Tell him not to do it next time.”

Fan Yuan’s expression turned ugly as he faintly said, “Thank you.”

After he finished saying that, he turned to leave. Kuang He hurriedly helped Fu Lun get up and leave, not bothering to restore the abandoned store to its original state.

Di Jiu was somewhat regretful. Even though Jiao Da looked boisterous, he did not act casually without using his brain.

Fu Lun, who had been crippled, was obviously a top-notch Alchemy Master of the Demon Clan. Since he had been crippled by Jiao Da, he could only remain in the Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint Realm in this lifetime even if he continued performing alchemy. A Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint was not deemed a threat to other clans. Once they allowed this Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint to advance to a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint, the threat would escalate.

After he saw Fan Yuan leave, Jiao Da’s gaze landed on the ring in Di Jiu’s possession. Before he could speak, Di Jiu said first, “Daoist Jiao, do you want to turn your disciple’s Nine-Star Bamboo into the Starry Dao Pill? If you do, I can help.”

“You’re a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint?” Jiao Da stared at Di Jiu in shock.

Di Jiu chuckled. “That’s right. I’m a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint.”

In fact, Di Jiu also had one Nine-Star Bamboo that he could not bear to refine yet.

“Tian Qu, hurry up and give your Nine-Star Bamboo to Brother Di,” Jiao Da immediately told his disciple. He had just given the Nine-Star Bamboo to his disciple and he now wanted his disciple to take it out once again. Even though he did not believe that Di Jiu was a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint, he believed that Di Jiu would compensate him with a relative item even if he failed to refine the Nine-Star Bamboo.

Without hesitation, Jiao Da’s disciple handed the Nine-Star Bamboo to Di Jiu. Since Di Jiu addressed his Master as Brother, he was clearly a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor.

“Please wait for a while. I’ll go in and perform alchemy.” After saying that, he took the Nine-Star Bamboo into his shop.

Jiao Da rubbed his hands together and mumbled, “Formidable. So formidable...”

“Master, Fan Yuan is the Clan Leader of the Demon Clan. I heard that he’s at the peak Primordial Chaos...”

Jiao Da raised his hand and hit his own disciple before he said, “Who is he? I’m not even afraid of Zhuge Zhichen. A simple person like him is insignificant. Demon Clan... He he... Now that the Heaven’s Beyond has appeared, the Demon Clan can only be considered nothing. What a pity, what a pity...”

Upon hearing his Master say that, he did not dare speak anymore. He knew what his Master found a pity. He had been told about this countless times, although he had not gone to Heaven’s Beyond with Sect Master Ye back then. If he had, he might have struck it rich by now.

...

The Demon Clan’s stall was not rebuilt after being destroyed. Likewise, no cultivators dared to set up their shops there.

After waiting for a while in vain for Di Jiu to come out, Jiao Da established a temporary cave abode on the ruins of the Demon Clan’s Void Booth Elixir Dispensary.

Not only was the Demon Clan aware of how powerful Jiao Da was, but anyone with a little bit of seniority in the Void City was also aware. Even though he had chosen to follow a solitary path, not many people dared to provoke him.

After waiting for two hours, Di Jiu walked out of the shop.

“You’re done so fast? How was it? Brother Di?” Upon seeing Di Jiu walk out, Jiao Da, who had been waiting anxiously, hurriedly rushed up to him.

Di Jiu took out a jade bottle and handed it to Jiao Da while telling him, “Brother Jiao. I’m glad I did not dishonor myself. I managed to obtain six Starry Dao Pills.”

He had obtained twelve Starry Dao Pills from one cauldron, but Di Jiu had left six behind. If he was not generous, he would have given Jiao Da only three Starry Dao Pills.

Even though Jiao Da was a Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor, it was hard to ignore the value of the Starry Dao Pills.

Jiao Da took the jade bottle and discovered that six Starry Dao Pills were indeed inside. Three of them were special-class, while three of them were high-class.

“Brother Di, you’re indeed a top-notch Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint!” Jiao Da called out excitedly.

Di Jiu pointed at his sign while saying, “I’ve written that I’m a Primordial Dao Alchemy Saint.”

Jiao Da chuckled and did not explain, knowing very well that nobody would believe Di Jiu’s sign was true.

Many people used this gimmick to deceive people in the Void City. Previously, he had thought it was fake, but he now knew that Di Jiu’s sign was more authentic than real gold.

“Senior, can you also refine the Heaven Essence Dao Pill then?” Jiao Da’s disciple looked at Di Jiu in anticipation.

Di Jiu nodded his head. “That’s right, I can indeed refine the Heaven Essence Dao Pill. However, you have to first give me the Heaven Essence Fruit, or I won’t be able to refine it.”

After finding one Heaven Essence Fruit in Fu Lun’s ring, Di Jiu had refined a cauldron of Heaven Essence Dao Pills. He was on ordinary terms with Jiao Da, so he did not have any intention of giving his disciple one of the elixir pills.

“Master...” The black-haired young man looked at Jiao Da with a face full of anticipation. He urgently needed the Heaven Essence Dao Pill now.

Jiao Da patted his disciple’s head. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely acquire a Heaven Essence Fruit here. Hang up a sign to acquire the Heaven Essence Fruit.”

“Yes, Master.” The black-haired young man went to do this with a face full of joy.

Di Jiu secretly found this funny. Who was he trying to fool? He would acquire the Heaven Essence Fruit just by hanging up a sign?

The following days were completely quiet. The Demon Clan did not find Jiao Da to ask for the Dao Fruit Pagoda Square’s shop, and nobody else came to cause trouble.

In the few days when the Dao Fruit Pagoda had yet to close, Di Jiu grew bored.

One day, Di Jiu was talking without any sense of coherence with Jiao Da before a tall man abruptly appeared before them. The man’s back bulged as if he was hiding something.

Di Jiu immediately stood up along with Jiao Da. Regardless of who it was, they could sense that this man was not simple. Even though he stood still before Di Jiu, his frantic aura surged toward him.

The other party’s domain clearly did not suppress him, but Di Jiu had difficulty breathing. Thus, this was absolute suppression of his cultivation.

Di Jiu drew a cold gasp of air. How come there was such an expert in the Void City? Could this be a true Dao Integration expert?

The tall man scanned Di Jiu but ignored him. Then, his gaze fell on Lightning, who was next to Di Jiu and was in broiling joy.

A moment later, he raised his hand to catch Lightning.

Without hesitation, Di Jiu sent a fist move out. Furious Waves, Gathering Peaks!

Boom! Boom! Boom! The Fist Mountain range frantically smashed out, striking the tall man’s handprint and sending a tremor through the entire space.

The absolute, strong counter-devouring force smashed Di Jiu’s Gathering Peaks, causing him to feel chest pain. Di Jiu moved a few steps back, nearly spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The tall man’s handprint had shattered as well.

Jiao Da stood up in time and his perfected Primordial Chaos domain was layered with Di Jiu’s domain, weakening the tall man’s domain instantly. At the same time, this man took a few steps back.

“A Dao Integration expert?” Di Jiu gasped, sounding gentle.

Jiao Da responded, “He’s not a Dao Integration expert. He’s only a half-step Dao Integration expert. Brother Di, I helped you just now. I don’t know why you provoked such an opponent.”

Di Jiu understood now. This person was definitely from the Kun Peng Clan. He knew that the Kun Peng Clan rarely appeared. If he’d just arrived here and this person had found him, this would be a big coincidence.

The other party had obviously come here for Lightning. Apart from Tang Xitan, only the fellow from the Demon Clan knew about Lightning’s origins.

Di Jiu was almost absolutely certain that Fan Yuan had made this expert of the Kun Peng Clan come over.
