Chapter 798: Xian Cang’s Plea For Help

“It’s indeed level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver,” Di Jiu said satisfactorily upon seeing the clear starry sky pattern on the Supreme Glazed True Silver in his hand.

Di Jiu did not know whether this kind of Supreme Glazed True Silver could protect him from poison, but he felt that there was an indescribably empty aura in that Supreme Glazed True Silver.

After he found out that his Dao eye could look for Supreme Glazed True Silver, things became simple. In this mystic area, Di Jiu collected Supreme Glazed True Silver almost as easily as breathing.

In just one day, he had collected dozens of pieces of Supreme Glazed True Silver. The largest piece of Supreme Glazed True Silver was about ten feet in size, while the smallest was the size of a fist.

Qu Fang was really excited. He couldn’t even see a piece of fist-sized Supreme Glazed True Silver usually, but he had seen a huge pile of them that day. Di Jiu also gave him a basin-sized level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver and even told him that when they separated, he would give him a set of armor refined using the level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver.

No matter how valuable level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver was, it was not more valuable than refining armor.

Di Jiu stopped again. His Dao eye saw a piece with a void layer suffused with a faint white flare. Without hesitation, Di Jiu reached out. His Divine Essence gathered and the space fluctuated. Then, he caught a huge piece of Supreme Glazed True Silver ore that was about twenty feet.

Before Di Jiu had time to check the level of the Supreme Glazed True Silver, he heard a buzz. Densely-packed huge silver bees rushed out with the Supreme Glazed True Silver.

A moment later, the entire space became unstable and a deathly aura crushed over. Qu Fang could not even budge, let alone resist that.

Di Jiu did not hesitate to take out the Dao fire, which transformed into armor and locked the space the two of them were in. While the densely-packed, endless huge silver bees threw themselves on the Dao fire shield, they kept producing sharp, ear-piercing sounds.

Qu Fang heaved a sigh of relief. “So formidable! I’ve heard of the Devouring Glazed Silver Bees, but it’s the first time I’m seeing them. Without you, I would have been killed.”

He was really appalled. He couldn’t break free from the Devouring Glazed Silver Bees. If he had been left alone, even if he had seen the top-notch Supreme Glazed True Silver, it would only have been a dead-end for him. Treasures required some capability indeed. Those who lacked the ability to come across a treasure might not necessarily have the life required to take it.

“Those are Devouring Glazed Silver Bees?” Di Jiu looked in shock at the huge bees that were multiplying.

The biggest silver bee was five to six feet long, while the smallest one was one foot long.

When Di Jiu took out his Dao fire shield, the huge Devouring Glazed Silver Bees started to pierce the shield. Even though their mouths were burned every time, the Devouring Glazed Silver Bees continued to throw themselves forward.

Not only did these silver bees have a mouth, but their wings could also shoot out silver blades that could tear the void into a sieve. Given Qu Fang’s strength, he could only wait for death indeed.

Qu Fang nodded. “Yes. These are indeed Devouring Glazed Silver Bees. I heard that the Xian Ocean used to have level-nine Supreme Glazed True Silver. Since the Devouring Glazed Silver Bees devoured the level-nine Supreme Glazed True Silver, only level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver can be found in the Xian Ocean at best.”

“Don’t tell me that I’ve managed to obtain level-nine Supreme Glazed True Silver?” Di Jiu’s gaze landed on the Supreme Glazed True Silver that he had thrown to the ground.

When Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force permeated it, he seemed to see a virtual light-colored universe. The silver in the Supreme Glazed True Silver seemed to have a life. It slowly flowed in this universe, carrying white flares with each flow as though the faint ripples on the lake were moving slightly.

“Good stuff! It’s indeed level-nine Supreme Glazed True Silver.” Di Jiu was excited. In fact, he had sufficient Supreme Glazed True Silver. The reason he had stayed in there was to look for a piece of level-eight Supreme Glazed True Silver.

What Di Jiu had not expected was that he would find level-nine Supreme Glazed True Silver instead of level-eight one.

Di Jiu raised his hand to put away the Supreme Glazed True Silver. When the Devouring Glazed Silver Bees could not find the Supreme Glazed True Silver, they rammed around and disappeared very quickly.

After Di Jiu put away the Dao fire, there was only a pile of remains of dead Devouring Glazed Silver Bees.

“Big Brother, it’s very likely that those Devouring Glazed Silver Bees came over for that piece of level-nine Supreme Glazed True Silver.” Qu Fang was excited.

“You’re right. It’s indeed level-nine. We can go out now.” Di Jiu patted Qu Fang’s shoulder and spoke with a chuckle. He was very satisfied, as he had achieved the purpose of his visit. Most importantly, he hadn’t wasted much time.

Qu Fang, who was stunned, thought that the price of level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver was really heaven-defying. However, how had Big Brother Di just gone out like that? In his place, he would have kept looking until no level-seven Supreme Glazed True Silver was left in that place. Plus, there was still level-nine Supreme Glazed True Silver.

However, he soon understood. Only after his strength reached a certain level could he not be avaricious. Big Brother Di had just taken what was enough for him to use. Rather than wasting time there, it would be better to work hard to do more valuable things.

When could he reach such a level?

…

This mystic area was not complicated. If Di Jiu hadn’t met a bunch of Devouring Glazed Silver Bees before, this mystic area would have been as safe as staying at home.

It took Di Jiu and Qu Fang only one hour to arrive at the rippled array door where the exit was.

When Di Jiu stepped out of the rippled array door with Qu Fang, he saw Xian Cang standing at the entrance of the mystic area.

“Daoist Xian Cang, why are you here?” Di Jiu asked in surprise.

Upon seeing Di Jiu, Xian Cang asked in surprise, “Brother Di, why are you…”

Of course, he did not understand. One would naturally not come out so quickly after entering the mystic area with many difficulties. However, Di Jiu had come out after being in the mystic area for a few days…

Di Jiu understood what Xian Cang meant and replied with a laugh, “Did I come out too early?”

Xian Cang nodded. “Yes. I was waiting here for you, but I didn’t expect you to come out so early.”

“Daoist Xian, tell me if you need anything. As long as I can help, I certainly will.” Di Jiu was certain that Xian Cang had come to ask him for help. Otherwise, he would not have called him Brother Di.

Upon hearing that, Xian Cang bowed before Di Jiu. “Brother Di, I’m really ashamed. I didn’t know that the Eldest Elder had some plans when he called you over. I thought he only valued your refining talent…”

Di Jiu told Xian Cang with a pat, “That is nothing. Am I not fine? Xian Bainan didn’t do anything to me, and this has nothing to do with you.”

Di Jiu was certain that after he had left, Xian Bainan had called Xian Cang over and meticulously asked him all about his situation. Xian Bainan had asked Xian Wuxun to bring a message to apologize, which meant that Xian Bainan knew that Di Jiu should not be messed with. In that case, Xian Bainan should have revealed his true strength to Xian Cang.

Upon hearing Di Jiu’s words, Xian Cang became even more certain that the Eldest Elder and the Grand Elder had guessed correctly. Di Jiu was definitely not a Dao Transformation cultivator or even a Primordial Chaos cultivator. Even though the elders had guessed as much before, they had not been absolutely sure. Now that Di Jiu had spoken, Xian Cang was absolutely sure that Di Jiu was an exceptional expert.

“Brother Di, the Xian Family has encountered some trouble this time. My family has no way out, so I can only shamelessly ask for your help…” While Xian Cang said that, he knelt on the ground.

Di Jiu frowned. “Daoist Xian Cang, get up first. I’ll definitely help you if I can. Otherwise, I can’t do anything even if you die.”

“Okay, okay.” Xian Cang repeated himself before he added, “The afternoon that the mystic area opened, two apex experts came…”

“Apex experts?” Di Jiu looked at Xian Cang in astonishment. The Xian Family had Xian Bainan, who was close to the third step. Why would they be afraid of apex experts?
