Di Jiu was about to study the vitality fluctuations of the Dharma treasure, when his mental strength sensed that Pang Fan was pacing anxiously in front of his door. He immediately had to put away the debris and open the door.
“You haven’t come out all day, Di Jiu. I thought something had happened to you,” Pang Fan, who was standing at the door, said in relief when Di Jiu came out.
“Let’s go eat something.” Di Jiu had not cultivated the entire day. Instead, he had spent all his time refining the kitchen knife, so he was really hungry.
“This is for you. It’s your college ID card.” Pang Fan quickly took out a small jade card and handed it over to Di Jiu.
Di Jiu had just put the jade card away, when he saw a thin middle-aged man walk towards them.
“Greetings, Principal,” Pang Fan greeted the middle-aged man quickly.
It turned out that this was the principal of the martial arts school, Zeng Dongling. Di Jiu had heard of him. He was a connate expert rumored to be one of the top 10 experts on the Fairy Planet.
“Principal Zeng!” Di Jiu, who realized that he would have to spend two more days at the institute, also greeted the principal.
Zeng Dongling nodded and told Pang Fan, “You should go ahead. I have something I need to discuss with Di Jiu.”
Pang Fan gave Di Jiu a look before he quickly went downstairs. He was not surprised that Zeng Dongling had been looking for Di Jiu. Di Jiu had entered Elite Class No. 5 thanks to his relations, so it was only natural that Di Jiu and Zeng Dongling would know each other.
Di Jiu had to lead Zeng Dongling to his room. Zeng Dongling looked at the kitchen knife by Di Jiu’s waist and smiled. “This must be what you found at the warehouse,” he said.
“Yes, I gave Ai Di the three jade slips in exchange for this kitchen knife. There were no other viable choices, so he still owes me a favor. I’m afraid that I had to suffer a loss during this transaction,” Di Jiu said with a smile.
Zeng Dongling laughed. “You did not suffer a loss. If you can afford to spend 50 billion yuan on some jade slips most people find useless, then the kitchen knife you got must also be special.”
Di Jiu, who was unable to deny this, did not answer.
When he did not speak, Zeng Dongling added, “I came here to apologize to you.”
“Apologize to me?” Di Jiu looked at Zeng Dongling in confusion. He had not met Zeng Dongling before. In fact, this was the first time he had ever seen him.
Zeng Dongling smiled faintly. “My daughter used an additional auction ticket to trick you into teaching her a saber move.”
“You are Zeng Beizi’s father.” Di Jiu, who finally understood, immediately answered, “That was a transaction we both agreed upon. There was no deception involved.”
“Unless I’m wrong, you must have reached the Earth-Tier Cultivation Level.” Zeng Dongling dropped the other issue and changed the subject to Di Jiu’s cultivation level.
Earth-Tier Cultivation Level? Although Di Jiu was sure that he could kill Zeng Dongling, it seemed that Ai Di had not revealed his strength to Zeng Dongling. Zeng Dongling and Ai Di both belonged to the Earth Union, so this had to mean that there was some disunity among the Earth Union.
Zeng Dongling, who was not bothered that Di Jiu had revealed his cultivation level, asked, “Are you interested in joining the Earth Union?”
“No, I’m not.” Di Jiu rejected Zeng Dongling’s proposal without hesitation.
Zeng Dongling suddenly stopped. He had not expected this answer. If any other person had been invited to join the Earth Union, they would have jumped at the opportunity. Who would say no to such a proposal?
“If that’s all, sir, then I would like to go eat.” Di Jiu stood up. Zeng Beizi had not made a good impression on him, and Zeng Dongling was her father, so he naturally did not want to mingle with him.
Zeng Dongling looked awkward as he stood up and said, “An old friend asked me to ask you something.”
What could Di Jiu help him with?
“Here’s the thing. Ji Baishan from the Swallow Capital has a grandson called Ji Xiaoting, who…”
Di Jiu knew what he was about to say, so before Zeng Dongling could finish his speech, he waved his hand and said, “You must have made a mistake, Principal Zeng. I offered Ji Xiaorong my help, but she called me a liar and turned me away.”
“Ji Xiaorong has regretted this. She has been waiting for you every day outside your residence at the Swallow Capital Institute of Martial Arts. She has also lost a lot of weight from her guilt.” Although Zeng Dongling was not concerned about Di Jiu’s cultivation level, he was impressed by his medical skills.
What shocked him was not that Di Jiu had cured a patient in the morgue, nor that he had cured Hu Qianli’s son. He actually was shocked by Di Jiu’s ability to easily connect two parts of a broken wrist without any operating equipment.
Di Jiu had killed Trustworthy in Daicheng City and earned a billion by forcing people to queue for numbers. He had only discovered this that day, as the victims had all been unwilling to cooperate. He had only found out after killing three people at the board meeting of the Di Clan’s manufacturing business. Then, someone had revealed that Di Jiu had once appeared in Daicheng City along with his big bag.
“I don’t need any money right now, so I won’t be able to help him.” Di Jiu was not a charitable person. He actually viewed each exchange as a fair business transaction. Ji Xiaorong had rejected his deal, so now that his problem had been solved, he no longer wanted to help her.
“If you help him, Ji Baishan and I will settle the incident at the Di Clan’s manufacturing business for you. Escaping will not keep you from harm’s way. In fact, Xi Xiumin still has the power to stop you.”
Zeng Dongling paused hesitantly before he added, “I am not threatening you. I am only telling the truth. Given your strength, I am sure that you won’t be able to break the laser wall on the Fairy Square and escape from several experts. In fact, it was very smart of you to trade the three jade slips with Ai Di. If you hadn’t, he could easily have restrained you.”
Di Jiu sneered silently. Ai Di could easily have restrained him? Only in his dreams.
However, what Zeng Dongling had said made sense. It would indeed be awful if he was cornered on the Fairy Square.
“I would also like Ji Baishan to help strengthen the Di Clan’s manufacturing business and allow my friends, Qi Xiang from the Swallow Capital University’s Institute of Martial Arts and You Huli from North Luo University’s Institute of Martial Arts, to continue their studies at the Fairy Planet’s Institute of Martial Arts,” Di Jiu said after weighing his options.
Although it would be impossible for him to return to Earth and treat Ji Xiaoting, he had a top-grade antidote pill that he could give Zeng Dongling.
“Okay, deal,” Zeng Dongling said immediately. “When are you going back to Earth?”
Di Jiu looked at Zeng Dongling as if he was a fool. “I can’t return to Earth. However, I have an antidote pill that you can take back to Ji Xiaoting.”
“A pill?” Zeng Dongling looked at Di Jiu and his bag as he repeated his words in disbelief.
If a single pill could cure Ji Xiaoting of that poison, then why would they have waited so long?
Di Jiu, who had already found the pill, stuffed it into Zeng Dongling’s hand. “Trust me, it will work. If you say no, then we will go our separate ways.”
Zeng Dongling, who could sense Di Jiu’s tough attitude, took the pill. “Okay.”
Di Jiu watched Zeng Dongling leave, hoping silently that there would be no similar incidents during the next two days.
…
Aside from the time he spent eating out, Di Jiu spent the rest of his time in his residence, trying to study the Dharma treasure debris.
He could clearly sense a trace of vitality in the palm-sized Dharma treasure debris, which meant that it had a breath of life. However, he could not discover where this life was hidden, as his current ability was not enough for him to break the debris.
Yu Jie, the tutor of Elite Class No. 5, did not particularly like the new student. She would have had less things to worry about if Di Jiu had not showed up and joined her class.
Two days passed, yet Di Jiu did not make any progress. Pang Fan came again to find him.
“Did you not prepare anything to eat or drink?” Pang Fan asked in amazement. As he’d watched Di Jiu finish packing his big bag, he had noticed that there were only a few pieces of clothes and items not directly related to his survival.
“I am not going on vacation. What’s there to eat? Let’s go.” Di Jiu was sure that he would not starve on the Fairy Planet.
“Alright, I have packed a lot of food anyway. The two of us will probably be on the same team. You can share my food,” Pang Fan said helplessly.
He knew that he was the weakest member of the elite class, so he had already prepared mentally for the possibility that no one would want to team up with him.
The classes participating in the test trial would be gathering on the Fairy Square.
By the time Di Jiu and Pang Fan arrived with their big bags, everyone else was already there. Pang Fan had already mentioned that everyone would be carrying a big bag. Di Jiu realized that his bag was the smallest in comparison.
In addition to the elite class students and Yu Jie, Principal Zeng Dongling was also there, and so were a few other people that Di Jiu did not recognize.
When everyone had formed a neat line, Zeng Dongling said, “The classes visiting the Fairy Planet this time are Elite Classes No. 5 and No. 6. In addition to the two tutors of the classes, Yu Jie and Wang Chuantian, our institute’s connate expert and vice principal, Wu Cheng, will also be escorting the group.”
“Tutor Wu Cheng entered the Connate last year. He is very powerful, although kind of balding…” Pang Fan, who feared that Di Jiu would not know who Wu Cheng was, whispered in his ear.
In fact, even if Pang Fan had not informed him, Di Jiu would still have recognized Wu Cheng. He could sense the aura of a connate cultivation level from afar.
Di Jiu was about to study the vitality fluctuations of the Dharma treasure, when his mental strength sensed that Pang Fan was pacing anxiously in front of his door. He immediately had to put away the debris and open the door.
“You haven’t come out all day, Di Jiu. I thought something had happened to you,” Pang Fan, who was standing at the door, said in relief when Di Jiu came out.
