Ninth In the World - Chapter 884

The circular hall looked extremely spacious, and the seats formed a circle around the hall. If ordinary people came to this hall to trade, it would be impossible to even see what the person on the opposite side looked like. As for speaking, they could only dream about it.

However, they were all almighty cultivators, with the poorest cultivation level being at the Dao Integration Realm. Thus, such a problem naturally did not exist.

After Di Jiu found a place to sit down, a small square table was automatically erected in front of him with two shriveled divine spirit fruits on it. On the upper left corner of the table was also a button. In the middle of the table was a teleportation array engraving. Di Jiu was completely speechless. Even if he’d held a trade meeting in an ordinary cultivation city in the Dao World, it would not have been so shabby.

Di Jiu did not think that the people there had nothing. It was just that they only kept their good stuff in their own worlds. These shriveled divine spirit fruits must have been there for tens of thousands of years. The restriction on them prevented corrosion. Thus, it was clear that these Dao fruits were just for show.

Di Jiu raised his hand and threw the two shriveled divine spirit fruits in front of him into the Ninth World, still thinking that if everyone was like him, they would take out fresh divine spirit fruits in the future instead of shriveled ones.

People came in one after another, filling all the seats in the hall very soon. The cultivators who came afterward had to sit on the newly-placed seats.

The second circle of seats was placed before the first one. Ordinary people found sitting closer to the front better. However, some Dao Integration cultivators believed that sitting behind was better.

This was because they couldn’t scan the place with their Spiritual Force casually there because of the isolation restriction. The people sitting in the back could clearly see every cultivator who took out goods to trade them. On the other hand, the cultivators sitting in the front couldn’t see everything behind them.

A black-robed old man stepped on the void in the middle of the hall. After he greeted everyone in all four directions, he said, “Everyone is basically acquainted with each other. I guess we’ve met more than three times, although I’m the one who has met everyone the least. It’s so rare to have so many people here. Of course, this is mainly because a new Daoist wants to trade two connate treasures today. I don’t know who this Daoist is, so please stand up and let everyone meet you.”

The old man then paused and fixed his eyes on Di Jiu.

Di Jiu knew better than anyone else that these people would not take him seriously because of his cultivation level. He was unaware of how many third-step experts there were around him. He also did not dare use his Spiritual Force to scan everyone there. However, he knew very well that the old man who had spoken was absolutely a third-step expert.

Di Jiu knew that even if he didn’t stand up, everyone would know that he was the person in question. Many people who had come out of seclusion had probably come for him. In fact, by the time the old man told him to stand up, a lot of eyes were already on him.

Di Jiu had many connate Dharma treasures, but he had no intention of taking out any connate treasures at all. Four of his Five-Element Flags were in the Great Ultimate Realm, and he had filled the Vast Pure Kettle with the Chaotic Aura. He was using the Void Mountain without trouble now. As for the Heaven-Opening Writing Brush and the Book of the World, they could only dream about them.

The only River and Mountain Kettle he had was reserved for Nong Xiuqi, so he couldn’t take it out. As for the Black Lotus of World Destruction, the Reincarnation Bridge, and the Creation Wood, they surpassed connate treasures or were about to do so. Thus, Di Jiu couldn’t take them out.

He hit the table and said without standing up, “I was the one who said I have two connate treasures. If anyone wants to trade, wait until I say what I want to trade first.”

The old man in black didn’t mind Di Jiu’s attitude at all. He laughed and said, “Alright. We will wait for this Daoist to expand our horizons. I hereby declare the beginning of the trade meeting. At any time, you can press the button in front of you when you want to trade.”

After the old man said that, with a flash of his figure, he sat down in one of the seats.

Di Jiu sneered silently. They wanted the connate treasures to expand their horizons? He he… Were they taking advantage of his ignorance? Most of the people there must have seen Creation treasures, let alone connate treasures. Plus, Di Jiu was sure that many of them had connate treasures.

“In that case, I’ll start first. I have ten second-step Dao fruits. I want to trade them for earth-element nomological fragments or something that can restore the Original Breath.” A middle-aged man in a hemp garment took the initiative to take out a big jade box.

Di Jiu didn’t want to compete with others, so he didn’t speak. What puzzled him was that nobody wanted the ten Dao fruits.

After confirming that nobody wanted them, Di Jiu asked, “Are your Dao fruits all Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits?”

The middle-aged man in the hemp garment thought that nobody was going to trade with him, as he knew very well that it was indeed uncompetitive of him to take out the Dao fruits there.

“You can have the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits, but I want to know what you’re taking out first.” The cultivator in the hemp garment looked at Di Jiu eagerly. If Di Jiu took out connate treasures, it would be a dream come true.

Di Jiu took out a jade bottle and said, “I have First Evolution True Dew and an earth-element nomological fragment.”

“You actually have First Evolution True Dew? And an earth-element nomological fragment? This is a good deal…” Upon hearing Di Jiu’s words, the cultivator in the hemp garment immediately grew excited.

The First Evolution True Dew was a supreme-grade treasure born in the Chaos nest. Apart from him, other people also wanted it. After all, the greatest use of the First Evolution True Dew was its ability to restore the Original Breath. They had all overlooked the First Evolution True Dew’s ability to cultivate divine powers. Who would use the First Evolution True Dew to cultivate their divine powers? They wanted the First Evolution True Dew to restore their Original Breath and recuperate.

Di Jiu wanted to say that the other party had yet to say whether he was taking out the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit or the Primordial Dao Fruit. However, at that moment, he heard a dozen voices say at the same time, “I also need First Evolution True Dew. I also have a Primordial Chaos Dao Fruit. Daoist, please make an offer.”

Only a dozen voices spoke, but Di Jiu felt even more eager eyes. He then realized that the First Evolution True Dew was the truly good stuff there. He had given one drop of the Quintessential Essence of the Universe to Du Zihen, which should have helped him a lot. The Quintessential Essence of the Universe had a much greater value than the First Evolution True Dew.

“Fellow Daoists, there is naturally an order to the trade. I have yet to finish the trade on my side, so why are all of you doing that?” Upon seeing everyone fight over the First Evolution True Dew with him, the cultivator in the hemp garment felt anxious.

“He he… Since this is a trade, there must naturally be mutual consent. You have not traded with this Daoist yet, and everyone is in the process of offering prices. Why should they not offer a price? If you offer a price and they don’t, you will have a deal with this Daoist.” A strange voice shut up the cultivator in the hemp garment.

The cultivator in the hemp garment could only respond, “Daoist, I’m taking out 20 Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits for one earth-element nomological fragment and 20 drops of First Evolution True Dew.”

Di Jiu was ecstatic, as he had not expected the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits to be so worthless here. 20 drops of First Evolution True Dew and an earth-element nomological fragment could be exchanged for 20 Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits.

“Jia Mai, your offer is really ungenerous. All of your Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits are useless. Even if they are thrown on the ground, I am afraid no one will bend down to pick them up. You are offering these useless Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits for 20 drops of First Evolution True Dew…” someone said immediately.

Di Jiu knew very well that this was said for everyone to hear, not just for the cultivator in the hemp garment.

“Are the Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits that you guys have taken out useful? You have already eaten up all the useful ones. What you guys have taken out are some impure Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits that are barely worthy of being called Primordial Chaos Dao Fruits.” The cultivator in the hemp garment snorted.
