Chapter 666 - The Green Lotus

Chapter 666: The Green Lotus

“Hold on. If I remember correctly, Daoist Tang’s heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal has been traded with Daoist Di, right? Don’t tell me one item can be traded with two people?” Gou Zibi, who was thin and weak, opened his narrow eyes suddenly and asked this with a hint of chilliness.

When Tang Xitan heard that, her face immediately turned pale.

Although Di Jiu was unaware of the trade rules, he could guess that Tang Xitan had broken the rules. Without hesitation, he sent a voice transmission to Tang Xitan. “Senior Sister Xitan, just trade it. When I ask you for a trade later on, just take any item out. Regardless of what it is, just say it is the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal. Leave the rest to me.”

At that moment, everyone had focused their attention on Tang Xitan. Ji Hongsen, who sat in the highest seat, had a hint of a ruthless sneer at the corners of his mouth. Without needing to think, everyone knew what he was thinking about. They sighed silently, as Tang Xitan was done for.

Without hesitation, Guang Mingzi put away Tang Xitan’s heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal but did not give her his Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood.

Thanks to Di Jiu’s voice transmission, Tang Xitan calmed down. She silently felt glad she had come with him.

Tang Xitan, who had calmed down, stared at Guang Mingzi and said faintly, “Daoist Guang Mingzi, could you perhaps want to embezzle my heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal? I’ve long given you my item. Why don’t I see you giving me the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood?”

Guang Mingzi frowned and immediately responded, “You’re trading one item with two people, so the trade has yet to end. I shouldn’t continue trading with you.”

Despite saying that, he had no intention of returning the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal to Tang Xitan at all.

Tang Xitan laughed. “Even if I trade one item with two people, nobody has pleased me yet, which means that I haven’t traded with anyone. Before I do that, do you want to violate the trade rules? I have many heaven-opening Wood Origin crystals. Or do you want to snatch away my thing instead?”

Guang Mingzi subconsciously fixed his gaze on Ji Hongsen, hoping he would speak up for him since the rules had been set by Ji Hongsen. At that moment, Ji Hongsen naturally was not brainless enough to stand up and speak up for Guang Mingzi. When he slowly concocted Tang Xitan and Di Jiu later on, he was sure that Di Jiu would let it pass. Then, he would teach these two a lesson. He had to kill the two of them and snatch their items.

Upon seeing Ji Hongsen not react, Guang Mingzi silently hated him. He could only take out the jade bottle and throw it back to Tang Xitan.

If he still pretended not to take anything out, he would probably face a bad outcome.

Tang Xitan took the jade bottle and opened it on the spot. When she sensed a drop circulating with the intense Dao runes of the Phoenix Clan’s aura, she was ecstatic. She then hurriedly put away the jade bottle.

Everyone had their gazes fixed on Di Jiu. Most of them, who were aware of the relationship between Tang Xitan and Di Jiu, thought that Di Jiu would certainly let this pass. If that really happened, it would truly be a horrible day.

Nobody warned Di Jiu that all the cultivators were waiting to see how he would die.

However, Di Jiu knocked on the table and turned his gaze to Tang Xitan. “Senior Sister Xitan, I don’t care whether you’re trading with other people. I wouldn’t mind even if you took out another heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal and traded it with someone else. However, you have to take out the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal that you’re going to trade with me. Otherwise, I will not be polite anymore.”

Many Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperors silently nodded their heads. Di Jiu was ruthless indeed. He had even deceived his companion. They were certain that after Di Jiu said that, Tang Xitan would definitely be done for.

Despite his ruthlessness, such a technique was considered very normal. Someone else would die instead of him.

Even though Di Jiu had sent a voice transmission to her, she still could not help fighting a cold battle after hearing him. She took out a wooden box worriedly before opening it and saying, “Daoist Di, I fortunately have two heaven-opening Wood Origin crystals. I’ll trade another one with you.”

Two heaven-opening Wood Origin crystals? Everyone was shocked. It was considered heaven-defying luck to obtain even one. Who was lucky enough to obtain two of them?

Everyone in the hall had fixed their gazes on Tang Xitan’s wooden box speechlessly. In this wooden box was a gray material that was not of a low level. However, compared to the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal, it was still too far behind.

Di Jiu was ecstatic. This thing was not inferior to the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal in his opinion. It was a Void Feather Crystal, and its level was certainly equivalent to the supreme-grade divine material’s. The Void Feather Crystal was formed by the void wind-element Dao runes and was the best item to refine a flying Dharma treasure. Fortunately, he had the Book of the World. Otherwise, he could not have recognized it.

With the Falling Silver Ice Sulfur and this Void Feather Crystal, Di Jiu could refine a supreme-grade flying divine weapon after he improved his blacksmithing level.

“Senior Sister Xitan, how come this doesn’t look like the connate Wood Origin crystal?” Di Jiu asked in confusion.

Tang Xitan’s heart jumped as she hurriedly replied, “This is the connate Wood Origin crystal. Since it has a higher level than the one I traded, it is black.”

“So that’s why. Senior Sister Xitan, thank you for leaving the good stuff for me. Here’s yours.” While saying that, Di Jiu threw the Five-Element escape technique to Tang Xitan.

Without hesitation, Tang Xitan threw her Void Feather Crystal to Di Jiu in relief.

“He he… You’ve traded an ordinary blacksmithing material like a connate Wood Origin crystal. Are you deceiving us?” Gou Zibi did not want to let Di Jiu off like this.

Di Jiu chuckled. “Are you blind or retarded? I’m trading with Tang Xitan, and we have no objection to each other’s items. Even if I get deceived, I’m still willing to do this. Who are you to decide for me?”

Gou Zibi’s face sank and he then looked at Ji Hongsen.

Ji Hongsen said with a cold expression, “The next Daoist shall continue the trade.”

Ji Hongsen did not say anything regarding Tang Xitan and Di Jiu, as the rules were set by him. If both parties had a successful trade and there were no objections, nobody else could join in. In other words, nobody could say anything even if Tang Xitan had deceived Di Jiu as long as he acknowledged it.

However, Di Jiu did not mind. Since he had set up many nomological array flags here, he would not be afraid even if Ji Hongsen really wanted to find an excuse. At most, he would just leave if he could not win the fight. None of the people there had the strength to crush him. Couldn’t he just leave if he could not win the fight?

Tang Xitan was relieved. Thank god Di Jiu was nifty.

It seemed as if the good stuff had been traded or perhaps everyone was unwilling to take out anything precious, as the following trades were ordinary. There were no more heaven-defying treasures such as the Chaos Qi, the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood, or even the heaven-opening Wood Origin crystal.

After half a day, everyone was done with the trade. Ji Hongsen once again smiled. “No one ended up empty-handed after traveling a long distance. You have all more or less gained something. Next, I’ll let everyone know the reason I invited you over. Before that happens, I’ll say something else. If you want to go with us, please stay behind. Otherwise, please leave first.”

As Tang Xitan was about to stand up, Di Jiu once again sent her a voice transmission. “Senior Sister Xitan, you definitely can’t leave now. I sensed earlier that this place is confined by a top-notch Confinement Killing Array. I’m sure that Ji Hongsen wants to silence people. If we leave first, this bastard will kill the two of us first.”

Tang Xitan quivered. She had come for the sake of the Seven-Colored Divine Phoenix Blood but had not expected Ji Hongsen to be so sinister.

Nobody stood up, so Ji Hongsen said with a wide smile, “Since nobody has backed out, I’ll speak truthfully. We’re looking for a treasure that is not ordinary. I believe everyone has heard of the top 10 connate Spirit Roots, right?”

“Could this treasure be one of the top 10 connate Spirit Roots?” the Demon Clan’s Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor Fan Yuan blurted out, his eyes completely filled with a kind of excitement.

Ji Hongsen chuckled. “You may say that it’s one of the top 10 connate Spirit Roots, as this thing surpasses other Spirit Roots. It’s a green lotus…”

“The Chaos Green Lotus? That’s the only Chaos Spirit Root!” Fan Yuan gasped.

In the past, the Demon Clan’s Primordial Chaos Sacred Emperor, Zhuge Zhichen, had been killed because of this Chaos Green Lotus. Afterward, many experts of the Demon Clan had believed that the Wing Clan’s Cang Luo had fabricated everything about the Chaos Green Lotus so that everyone would have internal discord. He had not expected to once again hear about the Chaos Green Lotus that day.
