Chapter 135: The Arrogant Cultivator

Di Jiu took the jade card to the place where one could redeem it for a Sky Screen card. Since he had given his Sky Screen card to He Tai, he naturally needed to use the card He Tai had won in order to enter the Sky Screen.

“You want to redeem this for a Sky Screen card?” The middle-aged female cultivator responsible for giving out the Sky Screen cards lifted her head and looked at Di Jiu incredulously.

Based on her experience, all the people who came there to get a Sky Screen card were from various big powers. Itinerant Cultivators were never able to get any Sky Screen cards. Even if they obtained the right to, they would still not be able to get there. This was a tacit rule. Di Jiu’s cultivation appeared to be low. Plus, his face was not familiar. How could he have obtained an Itinerant Cultivator jade card and gone there to redeem it?

“That’s right. I want to collect the Sky Screen card,” repeated Di Jiu.

The middle-aged female cultivator was holding onto the jade card and looking at it repeatedly. “Can I redeem it or not?” Di Jiu said impatiently. “If you can’t help me, I will ask the deacon instead.”

“No, you can. You can redeem it…” the middle-aged woman replied hurriedly. She kept the jade card and gave Di Jiu a Sky Screen card.

Di Jiu snatched the Sky Screen card and grunted, “Be more quick-witted next time.”

“How dare a mere cultivation disciple like you be so arrogant in the Sky Screen?” A sixth-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator chuckled as he stared at Di Jiu mockingly.

“I am indeed arrogant,” Di Jiu said in disdain. “Attack me if you have the guts. Come on!”

Di Jiu took out a chair and sat directly in the corner of the hall. His words and actions were extremely arrogant.

“Scum! Only shameless people like you would seize an Itinerant Cultivator’s Sky Screen card!” A female cultivator who had seen Di Jiu seize this card, take out a chair and sit down on it arrogantly to provoke the other cultivators could not help but scold him.

Di Jiu was silently wondering if such a righteous person could even exist. How dare she publicly call him a tyrant? The people who seized Sky Screen cards were the tyrannical powers that reigned there. His actions had been no different than theirs.

“Please mind your words, Junior Sister Qin Yin… There are a lot of sects here that are no weaker than ours. Don’t incur their wrath.” As Di Jiu noticed the lady who had just spoken, he immediately heard someone else’s voice close to her.

So this lady was called Qin Yin. When Di Jiu saw Qin Yin clearly, he praised her beauty silently.

He had met many beautiful ladies back in the Ji Nation, including Zhen Man, whom he had always admired, and Shen Ziyu, whom he had been married to on Earth. Even Ceng Beizi, Yu Jie and Jing Mobing, whom he had met recently, were all beautiful ladies. However, all these ladies seemed to be lacking something in comparison to Qin Yin.

Qin Yin’s beauty had been carved by nature. She had just the right proportions so she did not look fat or skinny, her arched eyebrows were natural, and Di Jiu was certain that her face had not been modified in any way. Her skin was not snow-white, but a soothing cream-like white.

Her long hair, which was tied into a common female cultivator’s bun, added an element of amiability to her appearance.

Di Jiu stood up and walked over. The reason he left was because he had seen the first-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator he had beaten up quite severely. Beside this cultivator were three Foundation Establishment cultivators, including a ninth-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. It went without saying that these people were from the Sea Union. Thus, he chose to leave instead of fight with the Sea Union.

Although Di Jiu was not afraid of these people, he did not want to complicate matters when the Sky Screen was about to open. He would not hesitate to kill any member of the Sea Union who dared detain him when he went out during the opening of the Sky Screen. Then, he would directly head into the Sky Screen. Considering his potential, he should be able to break through and attain the Golden Core Realm when he entered the Sky Screen. He doubted that the Sea Union would provoke him after he became a Golden Core cultivator.

“What’s your name?” Di Jiu asked frivolously as he walked up to Qin Yin.

He was a young master who had seized an Itinerant Cultivator’s Sky Screen card, so it would seem strange if he did not stand up after what Qin Yin had said. Di Jiu knew very well that fighting was prohibited there, so he could act as arrogant as he liked. The more arrogant he acted, the more unafraid of the people checking his background he would seem.

Plus, this was not the first time he had acted arrogant. Back in Pearl City in the Ji Nation, he had been even more arrogant than he was now. The only difference was that he had truly been arrogant then, while he was simply faking it now.

Qin Yin grunted coldly before she stood in front of Di Jiu and said evenly, “I am True Li Sword Sect disciple Qin Yin. I was the one who ridiculed you just now.”

Di Jiu was slightly surprised. He did not have a good opinion about the True Li Sword Sect, not just because it had been the first sect to reject his application as an outer sect disciple, but also because the two True Li Sword Sect disciples he had met, Wang Zheng and Jing Mobing, had not been nice people.

Therefore, he considered the True Li Sword Sect a trashy sect. He had not expected that a trashy sect like this would produce a righteous disciple like Qin Yin, who also happened to be beautiful.

“The True Li Sword Sect is one of the biggest sects of the northern province. Please excuse Junior Sister Qin Yin. She has a very frank personality. However, if you wish to cause us trouble, our sect will not cower,” the man who had advised Qin Yin to watch her words stepped forward and cupped his fists at Di Jiu. His tone revealed the power of the True Li Sword Sect.

He seemed to also know that this place was at the border of the Polar Night Continent, where many sects more powerful than the True Li Sword Sect existed. His tone was still considerably courteous, as some of the powers seizing qualification cards were as powerful as the True Li Sword Sect.

“I have never heard of the True Li Sword Sect before. I will forgive you this time, as you are considerably pretty. Otherwise, there would be nothing the True Li Sword Sect’s Void Spirit cultivators could have done if my sect master came,” said Di Jiu with a chuckle. After feigning arrogance, he walked in a circle around Qin Yin and clicked his tongue. “Junior Sister Yin’er, why don’t you become my partner in cultivation intercourse?”

The air seemed to instantly become frosty. A frigid killing intent emanated from the long sword on Qin Yin’s back, as if she was about to attack.

“Please do not start a fight here, Junior Sister Qin Yin!” called the male cultivator beside Qin Yin anxiously.

Fighting there would not be beneficial, even if the Sect Master of the True Li Sword Sect came.

It would be suicide for a third-stage Foundation Establishment disciple like Qin Yin to start a fight there.

Qin Yin curbed her thoughts to attack and let out a breath. Her facial expression became calm once more as she stared at Di Jiu coldly without saying anything.

Di Jiu grinned cheekily and shoved both his hands out. “If you’re not willing, then forget it. Why must you be so violent about it? I was so scared that my heart started to beat wildly.”

“Looks like you have been lucky to survive this far.” Qin Yin let go of her anger. Instead, she looked at Di Jiu coldly as she spoke.

Di Jiu chuckled. “Has Junior Sister Yin’er never heard before that luck is part of one’s strength? I will try my hardest to chase after you and make you my cultivation partner.”

As soon as he said this, Di Jiu turned to leave.

Now, no one would doubt that he was a nouveau riche from a cultivation family. He had also achieved his goal for staying in this hall: to admire Qin Yin.

As expected, when Di Jiu went back to sit in the corner of the hall, everyone looked enlightened. A lot of men chased after beautiful female cultivators like Qin Yin, so it was normal for a nouveau riche like Di Jiu to be moved and choose to stay there.

…

“He has taken a fancy to that woman. Looks like he won’t be coming out anytime soon,” said a Sea Union Cultivator at the third-stage Foundation Establishment Realm with hatred. He was shadowing Di Jiu, so he was waiting for him to leave the hall.

“Who is that woman?” asked the Sea Union Cultivator with the highest cultivation.

“She’s called Qin Yin and she is a disciple of the northern province’s True Li Sword Sect. She has a master at the seventh-stage Essence Soul Realm. Two weeks ago, a Golden Core cultivator in the Sky Screen attempted to violate her. In the end, her master killed him on the spot. There are a lot of people watching her at the moment. Everyone’s probably thinking of the same thing. They are preparing to steal her pure essence energy in the Sky Screen,” a Sea Union Cultivator answered hurriedly.

“In that case, we will wait here. He will definitely come out once the Sky Screen opens,” the Sea Union Cultivator with the highest cultivation said, nodding his head while emanating killing intent.
