Chapter 169: Fifth-Level Dao Fire

“You don’t have to worry, you are lucky. I have a Geocentric Flame Crystal here. I got it when I was in the Cultivation World. I will give it to you.” Qian Fenghua’s hand shook as a purple-red crystal landed in Di Jiu’s hand.
This was obviously an ordinary crystal, yet as Di Jiu held it in his hand, it felt as hot as if he was holding onto a fire cage.
Di Jiu quickly bowed in respect and said, “Sir, this is too expensive. I don’t deserve it.”
Di Jiu naturally knew that the Geocentric Flame Crystal was a ninth-level material that could make any flame advance three levels. This kind of thing was extremely invaluable in the Polar Night Continent.
Qian Fenghua laughed. “It seems like you are quite knowledgeable. This is indeed very valuable to you, but it is no longer useful to me.”
“Thank you, sir. I will accept your kindness.” Di Jiu understood Qian Fenghua’s intentions clearly. This Geocentric Flame Crystal was really not that important to Qian Fenghua.
Di Jiu’s respect for Qian Fenghua welled from the deepest recesses of his heart.
Although Qian Fenghua could have removed the tarsus Spiritual Force imprint on his body by raising his hand, he did not. Instead, he gave him a piece of Geocentric Flame Crystal so he could advance his own flame and remove the tarsus Spiritual Force imprint himself.
If Qian Fenghua helped him remove the mental strength imprint, he would know everything about his body.
Anything else would have been fine. However, Di Jiu had a galaxy meridian and the Book of the World. In addition to these two, he also had the gray stone with the golden lightning. If anyone found out about these things, he would die.
Qian Fenghua, who was upright, didn’t want to know any of his secrets.
Di Jiu decided to help him with something after he went out, or at least help him get out of the Sky Market.
When he saw Qian Fenghua continue to refine the array flag, Di Jiu opened his hand and a black flame appeared in his palm.
Qian Fenghua, who had been about to keep refining the array flag, stopped again and looked at Di Jiu’s black flame in amazement. Although Dao Fire was very rare, he had seen it before. However, this was the first time he saw a black Dao Fire like Di Jiu’s.
Di Jiu raised his hand and took out the Geocentric Flame Crystal. He immediately felt his Dao fire emanate a desire to devour the Geocentric Flame Crystal.
Di Jiu pushed the Geocentric Flame Crystal into the Dao fire without hesitation. The black flame swallowed the Geocentric Flame Crystal instantly, and then a burst of Dao fire exploded. Di Jiu looked at his Dao fire in horror. He could clearly feel that the black flame was like a black galaxy. The Geocentric Flame Crystal rolled in this black galaxy and gradually melted away.
As it melted, the Luminous Starry Sky became increasingly jet black. Di Jiu could clearly feel the temperature of his flame rise sharply.
Only half an hour had pa.s.sed, when the flames in the Luminous Starry Sky burst. Di Jiu was surprised. He knew that his Dao fire had become a fourth-level flame.
This was obviously not the end. After the Luminous Starry Sky entered the fourth level, the intensity of the flame kept rising wildly. Another half an hour later, a burning sound was heard repeatedly. Both the temperature and the aura of the flame rose to another level again.
When he reached the fifth level, Di Jiu started looking forward to the flames reaching the sixth level. His calm Luminous Starry Sky turned into a black flame that fell on his palm.
“Good flame, this is a good flame…” Jin Qianhua praised as he watched the Luminous Starry Sky advance.
When given an average flame, the Geocentric Flame Crystal would help it advance by at least three levels. However, the Geocentric Flame Crystal had only helped Di Jiu’s Dao fire advance by two levels. In fact, this advancement had been relatively forced.
Di Jiu’s Dao fire had originally been a peak third-level flame. Thanks to the geocentric crystallization, the peak third-level flame had barely reached the fifth level, which was less than a two-level advancement.
If the other party’s Dao fire had been higher than fifth-level, then the Geocentric Flame Crystal may only have been allowed to advance it by one level.
Although his Luminous Starry Sky had not advanced to the third level or entered the fifth-level Dao fire, Di Jiu was still delighted.
He quickly thanked the man again. “Thank you for your help, sir. If you need anything in the future, as long as I can do it, I will do my best to help.”
Qian Fenghua nodded. “Is your name Di Jiu? Okay, good. You should go take care of your business first. When you go out, I do have some things that I will need your help with.”
When Di Jiu rolled up his Dao fire this time, the tarsus Spiritual Force imprint that was securely imprinted onto his arm was directly peeled off by the fire. Di Jiu opened his hand, took out a jade box, threw the tarsus Spiritual Force imprint inside and locked it.
Di Jiu sighed silently when he felt the difference. When his Dao fire had been at the third level, he hadn’t been able to move the tarsus Spiritual Force imprint at all. Now, the tarsus Spiritual Force imprint had been stripped off with just a thought.
The main reason he did not remove his mental strength was because he knew very well that this matter was not over. When Cheng Bijun went back home, she would definitely say something about his Small World.
Therefore, he had to be prepared. Although he could be killed at any time, by leaving a mental strength imprint, he would be able to sense when the other party approached.
Qian Jihua still needed some time to refine the array flag. Di Jiu did not study Qian Fenghua’s array formation insight. He was a Seventh-Level Array King now, so his was not bad. It was not the array formation that restricted him now, but his cultivation level, which was slightly weaker.
Although he was probably an expert in the Polar Night Continent, if he left this continent, he was afraid that he would be a n.o.body.
Di Jiu took out a crystal Qian Fenghua had given him. Its rich law aura made Di Jiu so comfortable that he felt tempted to stretch. Fortunately, he knew that he had to improve his cultivation level as soon as possible.
When the Galaxy Manual was used, the galaxy inside the galaxy meridian became clearer and more than a dozen stars flowed into the galaxy. Meanwhile, the Spirit Qi rolled in by the Galaxy Manual entered a Qi Circulation.
This Spirit Qi made the galaxy meridian more radiant and the Spirit Qi circulation freer.
A few days later, Di Jiu overcame the obstacle of the second-level Essence Soul Realm and entered the third-level Essence Soul Realm.
The Spirit Qi of the crystal in Di Jiu’s palm was constantly swept away by Di Jiu, while the aura of Di Jiu’s body continued to climb. It reached the mid-stage third-level Essence Soul Realm, the peak third-level Essence Soul Realm, and the perfected third-level Essence Soul Realm…
Crack! When the crystal in Di Jiu’s hand was completely broken, Di Jiu’s cultivation level reached the early-stage fourth-level Essence Soul Realm.
Di Jiu looked at the crystal in his hand in surprise. This crystal, which had allowed him to attain the fourth-level Essence Soul Realm, was simply too powerful.
Unfortunately, he only had four such crystals.
“Your cultivation technique is great. A low-grade immortal crystal actually helped you advance from the second-level Essence Soul Realm to the fourth-level Essence Soul Realm!” Qian Fenghua said immediately, his tone full of appreciation.
“This is a low-grade immortal crystal?” Di Jiu asked in surprise. Were there really immortal people?
“Yes, this is indeed a low-grade immortal crystal, but I don’t recommend using it for cultivating in the long term,” said Qian Fenghua. “If you get used to cultivating by using a low-grade immortal crystal, you will not be comfortable practising with other Spirit Stones. The number of low-grade immortal crystals you have is limited, so this would not be beneficial for your growth. This is not the main reason, though. When you enter the galaxy in the future, you will discover that your cultivation level speed is suddenly slower when you enter a higher plane. I suggest that you only use low-grade immortal crystals to cultivate if you are experiencing some kind of difficulty.”
“Thank you for your guidance.” Di Jiu thanked the man.
Qian Fenghua nodded. “You keep cultivating. There is still a month or two to go. I can start repairing the Night Star Continent again. Meanwhile, you will be busy. The higher your cultivation level is, the better.”
“Yes, sir.” When he heard that there were only a couple of months left, Di Jiu did not cultivate. Instead, he grabbed the Violet Aqua Sand and the Heaven Saber Pure Gold and got ready to refine his Dharma treasure. Only by refining his own Dharma treasure would his combat power continue to multiply.
When he saw Di Jiu take out the Violet Aqua Sand and the Heaven Saber Pure Gold, Qian Fenghua sighed silently. Although he was the pride of the Polar Night Continent, he was not as rich as Di Jiu.
The Heaven Saber Pure Gold and Violet Aqua Sand, which were Dharma treasures used to refine saber weapons, were sometimes hard to find even by searching through a whole planet.
Besides, he had heard that, under normal circ.u.mstances, Heaven Saber Pure Gold and Violet Aqua Sand did not appear on the same planet. Although it was unknown how Di Jiu had found these treasures, he was really blessed.
As Di Jiu tried to refine the saber weapon, Qian Fenghua did not speak.
When one used Heaven Saber Pure Gold and Violet Aqua Sand to refine Dharma treasure, it did not matter if their weapon-refining ability was weak. The Dharma treasure would grow along with the cultivator who refined it. As long as these top-notch materials were added in the process, the extent to which the cultivator could advance would determine the extent to which the saber weapon would advance.
If Di Jiu was refining the saber weapon with these two items, he presumably knew that the Dharma treasure these two items refined could advance.
