“Not bad. You have some guts.” Xi Xili laughed. “Since you have guts in alchemy, I will give you good luck.”

After he said that, Xi Xili threw a ring that landed before Di Jiu. “There is a pile of second-level and third-level divine spirit herbs inside. As long as you manage to form the pills, these divine spirit herbs will be yours. I don’t need your elixir pills to be at a certain level. You just have to form them.”

Di Jiu did not look at the ring on the ground. Instead, he grabbed a half-divine cauldron. Even though his alchemy cauldron was the Gigantic Cosmic Cauldron, he did not need to take that out to refine a low-level elixir pill like the Dao Transformation Divine Pill.

Upon seeing Di Jiu only take out a half-divine weapon cauldron, the cultivators at the edge were left dumbstruck. The half-divine weapon cauldron should be considered a top-notch treasure in the Immortal World. In the Spiritual World, however, if a half-divine weapon cauldron was given to an Alchemy Master for alchemy, he would be considered a top-notch Alchemy Deity even if he could refine the Dao Modeling Divine Pills.

Di Jiu actually wanted to use this half-divine-weapon cauldron to refine the Dao Transformation Divine Pills? Was he bullying the others, who did not know about the elixir pills, and forcefully lowering everyone’s IQ?

“Di Jiu, I thought you were an Alchemy Master, so I respected you. However, you insulted the Alchemy Dao. Even if I die here today, I will definitely kill you.” When Shao Bingshan saw the half-divine weapon cauldron that Di Jiu had taken out, rage emerged in her eyes and her body overflowed with killing intent as though she was going to make a move on him the next moment.

Su Nuo sneered. Di Jiu was an arrogant person who had dared to be imprudent there. Indeed, he had a death wish.

Although the Great Ultimate Realm had fallen, its Alchemy Dao was still very strong and had at least dozens of large elixir doors. If Shao Bingshan killed Di Jiu, who had insulted the Alchemy Dao, no matter how strong his backing was, he would probably be unable to survive. Moreover, in Su Nuo’s opinion, Di Jiu should not have any backing, as he was only there to please Yin Yueshu.

Yin Yueshu frowned. Di Jiu had yet to perform alchemy and put away her Moon Core. As a result, she felt very unhappy. Now that Di Jiu was courting death, she suddenly felt that the next time she looked for someone, she should not be so casual.

Di Jiu stared coldly at Shao Bingshan. “Oh, tell me, how did I insult the Alchemy Dao? Is it respectful to the Alchemy Dao when your family performs alchemy and an insult when someone else does it? In that case, don’t ask for guidance. Does your family know you’re such a hypocrite?”

Shao Bingshan took a breath, forcibly suppressing her killing intent as she said slowly, “I have been immersed in the Alchemy Dao for more than 100,000 years, but I have never seen anyone use a half-divine weapon to refine Dao Transformation Divine Pills. Unless you’re a Primordial Chaos Alchemy Saint or a Dao Transformation Alchemy Saint?”

Di Jiu laughed. “You have to ask others to live the same miserable life as you? Anything you can’t achieve is wrong. Which sect does this Alchemy Dao belong to? Are you the Master of the Universe Creation? Are you the one who came up with all the laws of Heaven and Earth, including alchemy laws? Is this true only after you accomplish it?”

To be honest, Di Jiu had not hated Shao Bingshan at first. However, this woman was too egoistic and could not tolerate different opinions. It should be said that she had been spoiled to the extreme from a young age. Everything revolved around her, and anything that was different from her opinion or perception was wrong.

If anyone thought that others were wrong, that was fine. After all, everyone had a different opinion. However, there was no need to ask others to have the same view. This woman acted as if she managed all the Alchemy Dao in the world. He had merely taken out a half-divine weapon cauldron to refine Dao Transformation Divine Pills, but this had angered her and even caused her to have killing intent for him.

Di Jiu did not look good to this woman.

“Ah Jiu, your words are too much. Everyone here is your senior. How can you talk like that?” Yin Yueshu’s face sank and her tone turned a little cold.

Di Jiu laughed. “Everyone is my senior? Keep your opinion to yourself and don’t involve me. In my opinion, there is no senior here. I wouldn’t dare become the senior of a group like yours. Everyone makes their own friends.”

“Di Jiu, if you can’t practice alchemy, just say it directly. For Fairy Yueshu’s sake, everyone could spare your life. If you continue to be an annoying troublemaker and you are unwilling to practice alchemy, even Fairy Yueshu will not let you off now.” Xi Xili’s expression became uglier and he even made cutting remarks about Yin Yueshu.

Yin Yueshu faintly said, “Everyone, you don’t have to consider my honor. Di Jiu, you’re on your own.”

She was completely disappointed with Di Jiu. After Di Ji Jiu was killed, she would take his corpse away to see the kind of Yin-Yang Taiji aura on him.

Di Jiu said coldly, “Are you blind? Don’t you see that Shao Bingshan is blaming me and stopping me from practicing alchemy?”

When he heard this, killing intent overflowed Xi Xili’s face and he lifted his hand, wanting to hit Di Jiu.

Likewise, Di Jiu was ready to put away the cauldron and make a move. Even though he had yet to fully recover, he could still kill Xi Xili and escape.

“Senior Brother Xi, please stop!” Shao Bingshan yelled at Xi Xili and suppressed her inner anger. “Alchemy Master Di, since I’ve lived my life for nothing, please refine a cauldron of Dao Transformation Divine Pills for us.”

Ignoring Shao Bingshan, Di Jiu lifted his hand to take out a pile of divine spirit herbs.

“The Two-Leaf Divine Cloud Root!” Dan Yan, who had been in an awkward position on the side, exclaimed in shock. This matter had come up because of him, but it turned out that everyone had called out Di Jiu and he could not interrupt.

At that moment, he saw that on top of the pile of divine spirit herbs that Di Jiu had taken out was a Two-Leaf Divine Cloud Root. Then, he realized what kind of elixir pills Di Jiu wanted to refine.

Di Jiu was about to refine the Divine Essence Pill, which was a top-notch Dao Transformation Divine Pill. Since this kind of elixir pill had a very good effect on restoring the Divine Essence of cultivators lower than the Primordial Dao, it could be said that it was the best among several kinds of top-notch Dao Transformation Divine Pills. The main spirit herbs were the Two-Leaf Divine Cloud Herbs. Therefore, this kind of elixir pill was extremely difficult to refine. Likewise, it was also one of the Dao Transformation Divine Pills that were harder to refine.

“You want to refine the Divine Cloud Pill?” Shao Bingshan looked at Di Jiu in disbelief.

She had faced difficulties refining the Divine Essence Pill. It was hard to refine a high-class elixir pill, and the best was a middle-class one.

Di Jiu did not answer Shao Bingshan and instead raised his hand to take out his own flame. He would not take out the Dao fire here. The advancement of the Dao fire required the Moon Core and the Sun Core. What he took out was merely a similar Dao Birth divine fire.

Upon seeing that, some cultivators who did not participate in the debate found it a bit unbearable to witness it. Di Jiu’s invisibility cultivation technique was evidently good. Unfortunately, as soon as this Dao Birth flame appeared, everyone knew that Di Jiu was actually only a Dao Birth cultivator.

It was evident that besides the genuine medicinal herbs taken out, everything else was an eyesore.

Only Ling Xiaoshuang watched Di Jiu’s movements without blinking. She was sure that Di Jiu was a superficial person. She had seen more than one person like Di Jiu.

No one spoke at that moment, as all of them were waiting for Di Jiu to refine the elixir pills. In other words, all the people there were waiting for him to fail.

Di Jiu’s flame landed on the half-divine weapon cauldron. In just several seconds, he lifted his hand to hit it and the residue inside was hit until it spilled out.

Shao Bingshan’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had emptied the cauldron? Next, he put those piles of divine spirit herbs in the cauldron. Shao Bingshan then realized that he had really emptied the cauldron.

Only well-known figures could stand here. Just based on the fact that he had emptied the cauldron, everyone could sense that Di Jiu seemed to have his ways.

However, upon seeing Di Jiu lift his hands to throw a pile of divine spirit herbs into the cauldron, the cultivators who had some knowledge on the Alchemy Dao sighed. This cauldron of elixir pills had been deemed useless.
