Chapter 409: The Elixir Array Door of the Dai He Hall

Di Jiu recuperated while controlling the Ultimate Cloud Auger. He did make quite a significant harvest, but he had sustained quite a severe injury as well. The fact that the Meridian-Splitting Pill had been refined by him had helped. Combined with the Starry Sky meridian he possessed, there were almost no side effects to the elixirs consumed.

At the same time, he felt fortunate that he was not too greedy. He would not have been able to leave if he had stayed for the whole duration of the auction and purchased everything he needed.

The Meridian-Splitting Pill could only increase his cultivation level to the perfected Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm at best. This increase was merely an increase in the amount of Immortal Essence Energy and was of no benefit to his Spiritual Force and Dao runes. Judging by his strength, such an increase in cultivation was inferior to him actually cultivating to the early-stage Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm.

He needed to increase his cultivation speed.

Two months later, Di Jiu’s injuries had almost fully recovered. The Ultimate Cloud Auger once again stopped where that void array door was.

Di Jiu put the Ultimate Cloud Auger away and used his Spiritual Force to scan the area. After confirming that no one had been here before, he opened the void array door and entered the hall.

“Why aren’t you guys cultivating?” Xie Huang, Little Tree, and Black Fire were all wandering around the hall when Di Jiu entered it. Even Mo Yuxuan, who was with them, did not enter the Quintessential World.

“Big Brother, you’re finally back!” Little Tree was the first to greet him, its excitement not fully expressed by its words.

Xie Huang hurriedly approached Di Jiu and said, “Our cultivation speed became exceedingly slow after you left. Therefore, we decided to wait for you to come back. However, we did discover a huge secret.”

Xie Huang was extremely excited. This secret was evidently a big deal.

“I was the one who discovered it,” rebutted Black Fire immediately.

Xie Huang waved his hand. “It doesn’t matter.”

Mo Yuxuan looked at Di Jiu. She finally could stop worrying when she saw Di Jiu appear in the hall.

While Di Jiu had been away, she had been blaming herself every single moment for letting Di Jiu help her purchase the Agama True Glazed Water. Being the treasure the Agama True Glazed Water was, there would definitely be quite a number of people who needed it as well.

“Junior Sister Mo, I have completed my mission and purchased the Agama True Glazed Water. You can recuperate now. I will keep guard.” After indicating that Xie Huang should talk about this secret at a later time, Di Jiu took out a jade bottle and handed it to Mo Yuxuan.

Mo Yuxuan did not accept the jade bottle, as she sensed the blood aura emitted from Di Jiu’s body. Di Jiu possessed a Tempered Body and was an Alchemy Great-Master. Thus, his healing rate was incomparable. Traveling from the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City to get there would take at least a few months. Under the circumstances, Di Jiu was still surrounded by a blood aura. It was evident how severe Di Jiu’s injuries were and how much danger he had faced while purchasing the Agama True Glazed Water.

“Senior Brother Di, I…”

Mo Yuxuan had rarely had any interactions with other cultivators before she’d met Di Jiu. Even when she had gone out, it had been to settle some disputes between sects most of the time. In her eyes, everyone else was cunning and selfish. Therefore, she did not know how to react about Di Jiu heading to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City alone to help her purchase Agama True Glazed Water amid grave danger.

Di Jiu knew that Mo Yuxuan was not good at expressing her thoughts. Thus, he asked with a smile, “Junior Sister Mo, would you have helped me if I’d needed your help?”

Mo Yuxuan nodded her head vigorously as she remained silent. That was a given. She would do whatever it took, even if it led to her death, so long as she could help Di Jiu out.

“There you have it. Me helping you and you helping me are the same thing.” Di Jiu laughed.

“But I didn’t…” Mo Yuxuan intended to mention that she had not helped Di Jiu and that what Di Jiu had said was simply a hypothesis.

Di Jiu waved his hand in dismissal. “I believe that Junior Sister Mo will do her best to help me if anything happens to me in the future.”

He was worried that Mo Yuxuan would feel pressure, which was why he spoke so casually. Then, he pushed the jade bottle into Mo Yuxuan’s hands.

Mo Yuxuan clutched the jade bottle tightly and said while looking at Di Jiu, “Big Brother Di, call me Yuxuan from now on. I was an orphan from a young age. I never had a family.”

She had already started addressing Di Jiu as Big Brother Di instead of Senior Brother Di. She, like everyone else, had changed. In the Cultivation World, she would never have recognized a man as her Big Brother, even if she had changed. Similarly, she would also not have taken the initiative to ask someone to call her by her name. She was not good at expressing her emotions, so she tended to speak simply by stating facts.

Di Jiu, who was more open-minded than Mo Yuxuan, laughed and said, “Alright, recuperate quickly, Yuxuan. Don’t be so reserved. After all, we will all be traveling around the universe together.”

Di Jiu believed that the news network and cultivating resources available in the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City were ample. The Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City seemed to have some kind of connection to the Square Immortal Continent and the rest of the three Major Immortal Continents. In the future, when his cultivation level was high, he would have to open up the Teleportation Array between the Square Immortal Continent and the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City once again.

“Okay,” assented Mo Yuxuan softly. She opened the jade bottle and poured half of its contents into her mouth.

Di Jiu was about to warn her upon seeing Mo Yuxuan only consume half. However, he soon sensed that Mo Yuxuan’s aura was changing. An extremely faint black aura was exuded before it disintegrated. The life-force surrounding Mo Yuxuan started to slowly condense and then seemed to manifest physically.

Di Jiu, however, came to an understanding. Mo Yuxuan had emitted some life-force fluctuations when she had previously used the Rainbow Immortal Peach to extend her life. However, that life-force had been all over the place and had seemed illusory.

It was at this moment that he truly sensed that Mo Yuxuan was no different from an average person. Her life-force had thoroughly flourished.

“Big Brother Di, help place an invisibility restriction on me!” Mo Yuxuan called out in time.

Di Jiu did so subconsciously, for he had gained some insight by sensing Mo Yuxuan’s rebirth. Upon placing the restriction, he closed his eyes to sense and gain insight into the rebirth aura.

Mo Yuxuan’s body seemed to be enveloped by a gray cocoon as the life-force aura became increasingly prominent. The gray layer enveloping her body cracked open before disappearing without a trace.

This rebirth was something even Mo Yuxuan’s clothes had no means of defending her against.

Mo Yuxuan’s beautiful body was revealed as her clothes started to get ripped apart.

Two hours passed as a flawless body appeared before Di Jiu. His eyes, however, were still closed at the moment so that he could sense the rebirth aura. Hence, he did not see Mo Yuxuan’s perfect body.

Mo Yuxuan opened her eyes and, blushing, she chanced a glance at Di Jiu, who had his eyes tightly closed. Upon seeing this, she let out a sigh of relief and hastily put on a new set of clothes.

Then, she sensed the Perfected Immortal Thunder Tribulation…

Di Jiu, who was rudely awakened by the Thunder Tribulation laws, exclaimed happily when he saw Mo Yuxuan, “Yuxuan, are you almost completely healed?”

Mo Yuxuan gazed at Di Jiu gently. “That’s right, I need to undergo Tribulation Transcendence. I sensed the Perfected Immortal Thunder Tribulation.”

“Great. You could undergo your Tribulation Transcendence here. I will keep guard outside.” Di Jiu felt relieved. He was sincerely happy that he had managed to save Mo Yuxuan.

Her life had been hanging by a thread through the consumption of Di Jiu’s Rainbow Immortal Peach. Actually, she had been in her deathbed and her life-force had been fickle.

After experiencing so many years on the deathbed, she had learned to let go of her life and death. In combination with the effects of her Nirmala Spirit Body, her state of mind had gotten exponentially stronger. Therefore, she was faced with no true danger while undergoing her Perfected Immortal Thunder Tribulation.

After experiencing a 1-9 Thunder Tribulation and being wrapped in dense Immortal Spirit Qi, Mo Yuxuan’s cultivation immediately broke through to the second-stage Perfected Immortal Realm.

“Little Tree, you need to work hard. Senior Sister Yuxuan might start cultivating again, and her cultivation will surely surpass yours after a while…” Xie Huang chuckled as he looked at Little Tree when Mo Yuxuan’s Tribulation Transcendence was over.

In his opinion, Tiny Tree Root did not have a kind heart. It was very fake and had sown discord between him and Black Fire more than once.

Little Tree did feel anxious. It had not been at the bottom of the pyramid back when Elder Sister Mo had not been able to cultivate. Now, this became an undeniable fact.

Di Jiu was relieved when he saw that Mo Yuxuan had attained the second-stage Perfected Immortal Realm. All disciples from the Virtuous Nirvana Sect possessed the Nirmala Spirit Body, which meant that their cultivation speed would definitely soar. Even Di Jiu himself would not be able to catch up. Therefore, he no longer needed to worry about Mo Yuxuan’s cultivation level.

He took out a ring and handed it to Mo Yuxuan before saying, “Yuxuan, this ring contains some elixirs and immortal crystals. Keep it for your cultivating process.”

Mo Yuxuan did not reject the proffered ring. Although she had not followed Di Jiu to the Gigantic Tripod Liberal Immortal City this time, she could vaguely sense that Di Jiu had offended too many people during this trip. She would only be able to truly help him if her cultivation was powerful.

“Alright, you can tell me what kind of secret you discovered now.” Di Jiu looked at Xie Huang.

“Big Brother, follow me.” Xie Huang did not say anything. Instead, he ran towards a corner of the hall.

After following Xie Huang to the corner, Di Jiu discovered that something seemed to be peeling there. Then, he caught a glimpse of a stone door with the words ‘Dai He Hall’ engraved on it. Above this stone door were six round holes, each of them the size of an elixir.

He immediately understood that this was an array door and an elixir had to be used to break it open. The elixir required was the Array-Breaking Elixir mentioned on the ancient turtle shell map.

“Big Brother, I did not expect that Chu Paihuai would be telling the truth. This place does require using the Array-Breaking Elixir.” Xie Huang rubbed his palms together excitedly.

Di Jiu mused, “It seems that this place does not belong to Chu Paihuai. He was simply using it to attract people here. Other than finding people who could help him take revenge, his motive was also to find someone who knew how to make the Array-Breaking Elixir.”

Di Jiu was a level-eight Array Supremacy and a grade-six Alchemy Master. He knew that his prior comprehension of the Array-Breaking Elixir was wrong the moment his eyes landed on this array door.

If acted based on the last question of the Elixir Association’s exam, he would only be able to find the array core with the Array-Breaking Elixir. Such an elixir would not be able to break open this stone door.

This door required the use of an elixir that was fresh from the cauldron. Only when the elixir met a certain standard and was delivered into the round holes above the stone door would the stone door open.
