Chapter 591: Di Jiu’s Prize

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Di Jiu, you’re good. Ha ha… I didn’t expect that I would misjudge too.” An Tuning’s clear voice was heard.

Even though Di Jiu had followed An Tuning for many days, this was the first time that he had seen her act so amiable.

“Outer sect disciple Di Jiu greets Valley Master An.” Di Jiu hurriedly greeted her. He knew that this woman had a bad temper and could get angry at any time.

An Tuning gestured with her hands. “Outer sect disciple? That’s in the past. From now on, you’re the most core disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect… How about this? You will become an inner sect disciple of the Spring Evolution Valley first. After the Sect Master comes out of seclusion, I’ll recommend you as a core disciple.”

Halfway through, An Tuning knew she had no right to allow an outer sect disciple to become a core disciple. However, she believed that since he had made such a huge contribution to the First Evolution Dao Sect, he had become a core disciple of the sect. There was certainly nothing wrong with that.

Di Jiu hurriedly responded, “I’m only an outer sect disciple. If I…”

Di Jiu really did not want to become a core disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect or even an inner sect disciple. He could have become an inner sect disciple many years ago if he had wanted to. Would he still want that now?

An Tuning gestured with her hands. “You have earned this. You are good and you made an extremely huge contribution to the sect.”

Di Jiu knew that he could not hesitate this time. Thus, he once again replied, “Senior, I have offended many people and I want to go out and put myself to the test for some time. I have something I need your help with…”

An Tuning once again spoke. “You can’t offend the Sect Masters of the Five Major Sects, right? You don’t have to worry about offending anyone. As a core disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect, why be scared of offending people? Tell me what you need help with.”

“I have a friend who wants to become a disciple of the First Evolution Dao Sect…”

Before Di Jiu could finish, An Tuning took out a jade card and threw it at him. “Ask him to bring this jade card and report to the sect. It can allow him to become an inner sect disciple immediately.”

“Thank you, Senior.” Di Jiu took the jade card and hurriedly thanked her.

An Tuning, who was in a good mood, nodded her head. She then told Di Jiu, “I have to attend the sect meeting later. Prepare to receive the award and then return to the sect with me. I actually wanted to let you become an inner sect disciple of the Spring Evolution Valley first. However, I have decided that after the Sect Master comes out of seclusion, I will settle this matter in one go and let you become the sect’s core disciple.”

Before the competition, An Tuning had never thought that she would still have the chance to attend the resource allocation after the Elixir River Competition. This was simply wonderful. After this matter was settled, she would stand out in the sect. The Spring Evolution Valley would also obtain more sect resources.

Since Di Jiu knew that he could not decline right now, he could only remain silent.

After An Tuning left, he immediately found Kan Yiwei, who was very excited. He knew that Di Jiu was impressive but he had not expected his alchemy to be so formidable. This was the Dao World, and Di Jiu had managed to enter the top 20 among many Alchemy Dao experts.

“Brother Di, you’re simply beyond impressive. I didn’t expect you to still be a top-notch Alchemy Dao Master. Impressive, impressive…” Before Di Jiu could say anything, Kan Yiwei praised him excitedly.

Di Jiu laughed. “Strictly speaking, this is not considered a fight of the Alchemy Dao but a condensation of Divine Essence Pills. In the Dao World, many formidable Alchemy Masters will not attend such an event. Therefore, my achievement is nothing.”

Di Jiu had only spoken the truth. A truly impressive Alchemy Master would not participate in a competition to condense Divine Essence Pills in the Elixir River. How precious were Alchemy Masters in the Dao World? Each of them was flattered by everyone. Would they consume their Blood Essence to condense Divine Essence Pills for someone else? Dream on. If they wanted Divine Essence Pills, they could just casually refine elixir pills for them. Why come here at any cost?

In fact, many Alchemy Masters came here. They had to represent their sects to do their part without a choice. Every Alchemy Master who had come to compete had been promised a pile of benefits by the sect. On the other hand, an Alchemy Master like Di Jiu, who lacked human rights, would be dragged here to serve as an able-bodied man.

“That is also amazing.” Kan Yiwei knew very well how amazing Di Jiu was. Di Jiu had said that many Alchemy Dao experts had not come to the competition. which was not wrong. However, Di Jiu had just ascended from the Immortal World and entered the top 20 of the Elixir River Competition. Wasn’t he amazing?

 
Di Jiu stopped retorting. He then took out a jade card and handed it to Kan Yiwei. “Brother Kan, you can go to the First Evolution Dao Sect with this jade card and choose to become an inner sect disciple. Keep it.”

“Thank you, thank you…” Kan Yiwei took the jade card excitedly. He only wanted an outer sect disciple position, so he had not expected Di Jiu to help him become an inner sect disciple.

The First Evolution Dao Sect would vigorously rope in an Alchemy Master like Di Jiu with great prospects.

“Brother Di, can I ask why the First Evolution Dao Sect only had you compete?” Kan Yiwei was aware of the First Evolution Dao Sect’s status. Therefore, he did not understand why Di Jiu, who was an outer sect disciple, had been the only one competing.

Di Jiu patted Kan Yiwei. “I’m not very sure about this either, but it’s fine. This doesn’t concern us. I might not go with you. I should leave with Valley Master An. We will meet again in the sect. Oh, that’s right. Zhuo Wujia and Mu Jie are also in the First Evolution Dao Sect. You will meet them there.”

“Ah…” Kan Yiwei shouted in surprise. “Brother Di, isn’t Senior Sister Mu already…”

“She did not perish. I used my methods to save her.” Di Jiu did not hide this any longer. Someone would find out that Mu Jie was in the First Evolution Dao Sect sooner or later. Now that he was at the perfected Dao Modeling, to be honest, he did not even fear Ni Xiren. Given his current strength, he was still no match for Ni Xiren indeed. However, Ni Xiren definitely would not dare attack him in public.

He supposed that Ni Xiren could not catch up with him.

Upon hearing that, Kan Yiwei admired Di Jiu even more. Although he had heard that Di Jiu had killed Mu Jie personally, he had known that this was inevitable. Regardless of whether Mu Jie was alive or not, Di Jiu had killed her only to survive.

When he heard that Mu Jie was alive, he understood. He had misunderstood Di Jiu all along.

“Top 20 Alchemy Masters, please come to receive your prize.” An old man who stood on the huge platform that rose in the middle of the elixir competition square spoke clearly.

“Brother Di, hurry up and receive your prize.” Kan Yiwei knew that Di Jiu was busy now. However, he had decided that he would only follow Di Jiu in the future.

Di Jiu was the most impressive cultivator he had met ever since his Dao cultivation had begun.

“Alright.” Di Jiu was very excited deep down. He wanted to know what prize he would receive, as he had not known about it before.

The 20th contestant was the first to receive his prize. When Di Jiu approached the platform, the old man on the platform shouted loudly, “The Dao World Elixir River Competition has successfully ended. The representatives of the major sects have received the sect prizes. Now, we are awarding the 20th Alchemy Master… Alchemy Master Di Jiu of the First Evolution Dao Sect, please come up to receive your prize. You have earned 11,900 Divine Essence Pills and a jade card to the Dao Ridge Enlightenment.”

The prize was contained in a ring that Di Jiu took. He was somewhat disappointed. He had not expected such a small prize. 11,900 Divine Essence Pills were really dispensable to him, and he still had 100 million Divine Essence Pills in his ring.

What was the Dao Ridge Enlightenment jade card? He had never heard of it.

When Di Jiu got down, someone walked up to him. “Alchemy Master Di, how about a million high-grade divine crystals and a middle-grade divine weapon cauldron in exchange for the Dao Ridge Enlightenment jade card?”

A million high-grade divine crystals and a middle-grade divine weapon cauldron in exchange for a jade card?

Before Di Jiu could react, he heard An Tuning’s cold snort. “Get lost. How dare you provoke the First Evolution Dao Sect! Do you have a death wish?”

The cultivator who wanted Di Jiu’s jade card hurriedly left quickly without daring to say anything else.
