Ninth In the World

Chapter 723: My Surname Is Ling

Di Jiu sat down and responded, “Of course. Ask me anything.”

“Did you see my true cultivation level?” Lou Xiaoshuang looked at Di Jiu and whispered.

Di Jiu nodded his head. “I wasn’t particularly sure but I roughly knew a bit.”

“Then what cultivation level do you think I am at?” Lou Xiaoshuang asked in a slight trembling tone, sounding a little agitated as she was staring at Di Jiu.

Di Jiu pointed to the seat opposite him and said, “Sit down and talk. Don’t be so nervous. Even if the sky falls, the two of us can’t withstand it, can we?”

Lou Xiaoshuang took a breath and nodded at Di Jiu. “Yes, you’re right. Even if the sky falls, the two of us can’t withstand it.”

While saying that, Lou Xiaoshuang sat down opposite Di Jiu without being overly cautious.

Di Jiu pushed the tea provided by the Winter Valley to the side, took out his own Starry Sky Tea to brew a pot of new tea, and handed one cup to Lou Xiaoshuang. Then, he said, “I brewed my own tea. Try it.”

Di Jiu had brewed his own tea with more than just a tea leaf. For this pot of tea, he had used ten pieces of Starry Sky Tea Leaves.

Before they drank the tea, that faint, tranquil galaxy aura dispersed. Once Lou Xiaoshuang smelled it, she felt a kind of freedom in her Spiritual Sea and Principal Spirit.

Immediately, Lou Xiaoshuang knew that this was an impressive tea and held up the teacup to her mouth. Before she tasted it, her mind was clear, as if she was far away from the dry, dull cultivation and the clamorous universe.

Unable to stand it anymore, Lou Xiaoshuang drained the contents in one gulp. She felt ultimate tranquility and spiritual sublimation.

As soon as that ultimate tranquility entered her mouth, it turned into a vast void and even tried to evolve into a world...

Closing her eyes, Lou Xiaoshuang felt touched deep down. This was the first time she had drunk such good tea. A sip of tea allowed her to see a new world.

At that moment, she seemed to sense that the confinement inside her body started to loosen and a new kind of life-force had been activated in her life.

“Good tea...” After a long time, Lou Xiaoshuang finally opened her eyes and spoke with excitement.

However, Di Jiu still had his eyes closed and was as excited as ever. He had never expected that the Starry Sky Tea would speed up his recuperation. With just a sip of this tea, his injuries had recovered faster.

Without answering Lou Xiaoshuang, Di Jiu drained the tea in one gulp. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief and secretly thought that he really had a gem on him without knowing it.

“This tea of mine is indeed not bad. Let me introduce myself formally. I’m Di Jiu and I am from a place far away.” Upon sensing his recuperation accelerate, Di Jiu felt even more delighted.

Because of Lou Xiaoshuang, Di Jiu had found out about the merits of his Starry Sky Tea, so he was naturally happy.

“Ling Xiaoshuang greets you, Big Brother Di.” Ling Xiaoshuang stood up and bowed. She was aware that Di Jiu was not an ordinary person.

“Your surname is Ling?” Puzzled, Di Jiu looked at Ling Xiaoshuang.

Ling Xiaoshuang nodded. “Yes, my surname is Ling. Xiaoshuang is my real name. I’m also not from the Great Ultimate Realm. I am from a very distant place.”

While saying that, Ling Xiaoshuang raised her head as though she was reminiscing about the dribs and drabs of her hometown.

“Have you offended people? If I’m correct, your cultivation level should be at the perfected Primordial Chaos and Dao Integration.” Di Jiu felt that Ling Xiaoshuang was more cordial and thus did not hesitate to speak.

Looking at Di Jiu in amazement, Ling Xiaoshuang mumbled, “Big Brother Di, can you really see my cultivation? Are you already...”

Di Jiu waved his hand. “Don’t think too much. My cultivation level is much worse than yours, and I’m still injured. It’s just because of my cultivation technique that I’m very sensitive to the cultivation level of others.”

After saying that, Di Jiu pointed at the teapot in front of him and told Lou Xiaoshuang, “This Starry Sky Tea is good for you. You can drink more.”

“Okay. Thank you, Big Brother Di.” Ling Xiaoshuang finally reacted and did not politely decline. She poured out a cup of tea for Di Jiu and poured a cup for herself. Then, she raised the teacup and drained the tea in one gulp.

After Di Jiu also drank the cup of tea, he filled two more cups of tea and said, “You seem to be confined by something in your body. Although I can’t see what it is, staying in the Winter Valley will do you no good.”

Ling Xiaoshuang sighed and did not answer Di Jiu’s words directly. However, she answered, “Big Brother Di, I feel that you have an aura beyond ordinary cultivators, so I think you are an extraordinary cultivator. Thus, I want to ask you a favor.”

Di Jiu frowned slightly. The Nomological Dao that he cultivated was evidently incomparable to any ordinary cultivators. If Ling Xiaoshuang could see it, wouldn’t she be too heaven-defying?

Upon seeing Di Jiu frown, Ling Xiaoshuang quickly explained, “Big Brother Di, don’t get me wrong. The reason I can feel that is not because I am so formidable, but because I have personally seen an expert like you and experienced this kind of Dao aura that is beyond ordinary cultivators.”

Di Jiu did not inquire. In the vast universe were countless realms and voids, and the experts were even more numerous. He could obtain the Ninth Dao Law, but who could be sure that the others would not get the eighth or even the rest of the Dao laws?

Di Jiu reckoned that even if he cultivated to the third step, he would still be inferior to the Master of the Universe.

“Tell me, what do you want me to help you with? I will speak first. If I can help you, I will naturally do so. Otherwise, I don’t have any way of helping.” Di Jiu had a good impression of Ling Xiaoshuang. Apart from her neat gaze, Di Jiu did not sense an uncomfortable aura in her.

This was different from meeting Yin Yueshu. When he had met her for the first time, he had not really approved her.

“If you have a chance to go to Heaven’s Beyond’s one day, please help me bring a message to my friend.” Ling Xiaoshuang raised her hand and set up a restriction that condensed the voice tone before she spoke with a hint of request in her tone.

Di Jiu smiled slightly. “Although I really want to go to Heaven’s Beyond, unfortunately, I don’t have the cosmic direction now and I don’t know which side of the universe it is located in. Of course, if I can really go there one day, I will definitely relay your words.”

Ling Xiaoshuang looked doubtful. “Big Brother Di, don’t you know that Heaven’s Beyond and the Great Ultimate Realm are on the same side of the universe? They’re only a short distance away.”

“Really?” As this great surprise hit him, Di Jiu responded excitedly, “Quickly, tell me who I will bring the message to and how I can go over to Heaven’s Beyond!”

Only then did Ling Xiaoshuang understand that Di Jiu did not know about Heaven’s Beyond.

However, she could help Di Jiu a little. She was just as happy when she told him quickly, “My ring was taken away, so I don’t have spatial direction now. However, I can tell you how to get there. One of my friends is called Ye Yimo and the other one is called Tian Muwan. When you see them, just tell them... ”

Bam! A loud voice interrupted Ling Xiaoshuang before a woman with an extraordinary cold look rushed out.

Before the woman went out of the gate, Di Jiu also saw Su Nuo rush out. She stopped the cold-looking woman who had rushed out apologetically and said, “Sister Bingshan, we don’t have to listen to a different point of view when everyone is having a Dao discussion. That’s why Sister Bingshan left in such an enraged way. I’m disgraced! They will all say that the hospitality of the Winter Valley is too crude.”

The woman named Bingshan seemed to calm down. She heaved a sigh and her chest rose and fell twice before she stopped walking out of the hall. However, she did not enter the inner hall to continue the Dao discussion either. Instead, she sat at the table Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang were occupying.

Su Nuo suddenly realized that Ling Xiaoshuang and Di Jiu were sitting face to face. She felt surprised, and a flash of anger appeared in her eyes.

No matter how magnanimous she was, Ling Xiaoshuang was a female servant of hers. How dare a female servant sit with the guests? She was simply disrespecting the Winter Valley. Even though Di Jiu was trash in her opinion, he was still a guest after all.
