The fat manager looked at Di Jiu and Zheng Feisheng in shock.
What item? When did you give me this item?


Brother Zheng, did you film a video when you gave him this item?
Di Jiu asked Zheng Feisheng.
To Di Jiu, the most important thing was not the 100,000 Spirit Stones, but the Pure Heaven Saber Gold. As long as he got this material, he would be able to refine his knife. Even if the Pure Heaven Saber Gold was not refined by Sapphire, it would still be a top dharma treasure.
The Pure Heaven Saber Gold was naturally suitable for refining saber weapons. Even if the grade was low, it could still maximize the power of the saber.

Rest assured, Brother Zimo. I have recorded it on the crystal ball inside my storage bag,
Zheng Feisheng replied immediately.
Although this flying boat did not prohibit fights, there had to be a valid reason to start one. As long as there was a reason, the parties could kill each other. Of course, this reason was not necessarily reasonable. It could also be unreasonable. If one killed their opponent, they were free to make up the facts.
If there were any casualties on the flying boat, the storage bag of the slain parties had to be checked by a person on board, who took half of the deceased’s belongings. The other half was the reward of the victor. If one was not killed, no one could snatch their storage bag. Thus, Zheng Feisheng’s storage bag had remained untouched.
Zheng Feisheng had taken out the Pure Heaven Saber Gold himself. Otherwise, the fat man would not have known about it.
Di Jiu cupped his fist.
Are you saying that Brother Zheng did not give you anything?


Yes, he didn’t give me anything after breaking my Glass Nacre Herb. Why, are you intending not to pay me back?
The fat manager had nothing to fear, so he was not afraid that Di Jiu and the others would refuse to compensate him.
Di Jiu was relieved. If the manager had said that Zheng Feisheng had given him something, that would be bad.
Almost as soon as the manager finished his sentence, Di Jiu rushed up to him. He did not wait for the manager to react. He just hit his fat head without a warning.
Even though Di Jiu did not use any strength, the manager still got dizzy.
Then, Di Jiu kicked the shopkeeper to the ground and stepped on his head. During Di Jiu’s entire attack up until the moment he stepped on the fat manager, the manager was unable to fight back.
Di Jiu was a fifth-level array great-master, so in comparison to the manager, he was like a giant beating an ant. It didn’t take him long to break the restriction on the manager’s storage bag. His mental strength briefly swept through and found the Pure Heaven Saber Gold.
The Pure Heaven Saber Gold was the size of a grinding disc, so Di Jiu easily used an invisibility restriction and put it into his storage ring. Soon, the nine-level Foundation Establishment cultivator reacted by flying directly towards Di Jiu.
When Di Jiu punched out, the nine-level Foundation Establishment cultivator retaliated hurriedly with a punch of his own. Di Jiu had not even exerted half of his strength, yet the cultivator was thrown back by his punch.
Di Jiu’s mental strength took advantage of this to sweep all the manager’s storage bags. What surprised him was that he really saw a Glass Nacre Herb. The Glass Nacre Herb was inside a jade box protected by a restriction. One of its crystal-clear lines made it very easy for people to see it.
Di Jiu took the Glass Nacre Herb without hesitation and removed the other party’s restriction. Then, he lifted his feet and let go of the fat manager.
The nine-level Foundation Establishment cultivator kept looking at Di Jiu. He had just had a fight with him, so he could sense that Di Jiu’s strength was not inferior to his.
As he looked at the two hammers behind Di Jiu, he realized that if his opponent used them, things would get even worse. However, Di Jiu had stopped stepping on the fat manager, so he would probably not go forward with this.
Zheng Feisheng was also looking at Di Jiu in shock. He knew very well that the fat manager was very strong. How could Di Jiu actually pin him to the ground with a kick? How strong was he?
Zheng Feisheng suddenly heard Di Jiu’s voice.
Brother Zheng, if anyone asks, you will say that you gave this man a Flame Amplification Crystal. Don’t mention the Pure Heaven Saber Gold.

Although the Flame Amplification Crystal was a fourth-level material, compared to the Pure Heaven Saber Gold, it was 18,000 levels behind. However, it was also a special material that could upgrade a low-level flame by one level.
There were several reasons why Di Jiu had chosen a Flame Amplification Crystal. In addition to its high value, it was also supposed to have some similarities with the Pure Heaven Saber Gold. Plus, there was already such a thing in the fat manager’s storage bag.
Zheng Feisheng had no time to answer, as the fat man had jumped up and pointed at Di Jiu furiously.
How dare you attack me…

Suddenly, the fat man took out a whistle.
Di Jiu realized that he was about to call the captain of the flying boat. He had attacked the shop manager for no reason, which was a serious crime.

Give me the crystal ball, Brother Zheng.
Di Jiu reached out.
Zheng Feisheng handed him the crystal ball quickly.
Di Jiu picked up the crystal ball and told the fat manager,
Who cares about your whistle? I have a crystal ball with a recording right here.

As he spoke, his mental strength penetrated the crystal ball. This kind of video crystal ball couldn’t be modified, but some parts of it could be erased.

I have the Pure Heaven Saber Gold right here. This is also a fourth-level material. Although it can’t compare to yours, I will still compensate you. Otherwise, I will go back and find a way…
Zheng Feisheng said before he took out a jade box and handed it to the fat manager.
Di Jiu immediately erased his previous sentence and released the crystal ball.
This is also a fourth-level material. Although it can’t compare to yours, I will still compensate you…

The fat shopkeeper, who did not notice the missing words, stopped blowing the whistle. His face was a bit gloomy, as Di Jiu had ruined his initial plan.
His gaze landed on the nine-level Foundation Establishment cultivator, who said,
This person is very strong. If you fought one-on-one, he may not even be much weaker than me.

If it had not been for the Pure Heaven Saber Gold, the fat manager would have killed the messenger immediately.
However, he dared not call the flying boat captain anymore. Zheng Feisheng had a video crystal ball that had recorded their exchange, and Di Jiu must have recorded him saying that he had not received anything just now. If both videos were leaked, then he would get beaten for nothing.

In that case, forget about it.
The fat manager knew that even if the captain came, he wouldn’t do anything to Di Jiu, so he decided to let this go.
If he could kill Di Jiu, then he would murder him and then make up the evidence. However, Di Jiu’s strength had exceeded his expectations, so all he could do was get the Pure Heaven Saber Gold.

Junior Sister Qi Qian, take Brother Zheng along. Let’s go back now.
If someone close to Di Jiu had their leg broken, he would always repay the person who had hurt them.
However, he had gained a certain benefit already, so he tried to draw less attention to himself. When the fat man found out that his storage bag was missing two things, it wouldn’t matter what explanation he gave. Those two items would still be found on him.

Yes, yes.
Qi Qian recovered from the shock. Di Jiu’s strength had also surprised her. The fat man was really powerful, yet Di Jiu had pinned him to the ground with a single kick. The guy who had had a fist fight with Di Jiu had seemed much more powerful than the fat man, yet he had been just as wary of Di Jiu.
When the five of them returned to their residence, Di Jiu put a restriction on the big room.
Zheng Feisheng’s leg had been healed, so the first thing he did was bow before Di Jiu.
If it was not for you, Brother Zimo, I’d be finished.

Di Jiu waved his hand, took out a jade bottle and handed it to Zheng Feisheng.
There are two doses of Foundation Quintessential Elixir here. I would like to give them to you.


How can I accept these?
Zheng Feisheng quickly refused. Although he seemed extremely eager to get the Foundation Quintessential Elixir, Di Jiu had just saved him. He had not returned the favor yet, so he felt bad taking Di Jiu’s Foundation Quintessential Elixir. He did not know that Di Jiu had taken his Pure Heaven Saber Gold.

You’re welcome. You know, the Foundation Quintessential Elixir is not very effective on me, so keeping it would be a waste.
Di Jiu pushed the jade bottle into Zheng Feisheng’s hands.
He still had a few more bottles of Foundation Establishment Elixir that the Tiny Treant had made. However, the Foundation Establishment Elixir was the most effective at the early-stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Di Jiu was now at the seventh-stage Foundation Establishment Realm, so this elixir was not significant to him.
It was only natural that he would give it to Zheng Feisheng, considering that he had taken his Pure Heaven Saber Gold. He would never admit this, though. Although he and Zheng Feisheng had just met, he had already saved Zheng Feisheng once and given him two Foundation Quintessential Elixirs. Plus, he had not exactly taken the Pure Heaven Saber Gold from Zheng Feisheng, so Di Jiu felt less embarrassed.

Brother Zimo, do you have any more Foundation Quintessential Elixir?
Jing Mobing’s eyes brightened. This was the first time she had called Di Jiu brother and actively sought him out.
Di Jiu smiled.
I gave my last two medicinal elixirs to Brother Zheng. Brother Zheng, I suggest that you don’t go out unless there is good reason. I will continue to cultivate in isolation.

Di Jiu did not wait for the others to answer. He immediately entered his room.
He was sure that the fat manager would realize that he was missing a few things and come find him. If he hadn’t taken the man’s things, this would have been over. However, this was only the beginning.
