Chapter 34: Trustworthy

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Di Jiu was not surprised. He had heard that Martial King Warriors were able to soar freely through the skies.

“Are there many of them?” Di Jiu suddenly felt an urgent need to visit the Fairy Planet. If the place was not dangerous, then most of the treasure there would have already been plundered. However, the Fairy Planet was so dangerous, that there might still be some valuable items left behind.

Hu Qianli sighed before he answered, “When I left the Fairy Planet a year ago, there were six people close to the Connate Realm. I’m afraid that someone might have already entered the real Connate Realm by now. There are plenty of valuable items on the Fairy Planet, so if one had the opportunity to obtain them...”

Hu Qianli stopped speaking. Di Jiu finally understood.

“How did you enter the Fairy Planet? Is it necessary to be a student of an alliance-recognized Institute of Martial Arts in order to be granted entry?” Di Jiu asked.

As soon as he heard his words, Hu Qianli answered, “The Fairy Planet is a trap, Mr. Jiu. You should never go there. Only a handful of the people who went have returned to Earth safely. The majority have died there. Those who were able to step into the Connate Realm were the lucky ones. I’m not saying that entering the Fairy Planet has no benefits. In fact, there are many valuable items there. However, it is still a scary place.”

Di Jiu stopped asking questions. He had to enter the Fairy Planet no matter what.

Even though Di Jiu did not mention his intentions, Hu Qianli, who could sense his determination to visit the Fairy Planet, added, “You can now enter the Fairy Planet by paying. I was from the Hu Family, so I had to pay an exorbitant amount to be granted entrance. Students from martial arts institutes are nothing special there. The Fairy Planet is really dangerous, so most people are restricted to the Fairy Square Area.”

“The entire Fairy Square is protected by a laser wall. Even the most powerful men at the Fairy Square have to team up in order to search for treasure. There is also a Fairy Alliance Institute of Martial Arts at the Fairy Square, so the students from the martial arts institutes on Earth are required to continue their martial arts training at the Fairy Alliance Institute of Martials Arts. Once they have reached a certain standard, they are recruited by powerful men before they truly qualify to enter the Fairy Planet.”

“How can one purchase items from the Fairy Planet?” Di Jiu could not wait to enter the Fairy Planet. However, he would have to master the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers before entering it.

“Items from the Fairy Planet are usually sold at auctions. As far as I know, in three months, the Swallow Capital will have an auction with items from the Fairy Planet. However, the tickets to the auction will be really expensive. I cannot even afford one. The items on auction will also be sold at extremely high prices...” Hu Qianli said.

Di Jiu knew that he had neither the money nor the ability to go to the auction. He had gone to several auctions back when he had lived in the Ji Nation in the Yalun Continent.

He was certain that once a high-quality treasure appeared on the auction, a lot of people would get greedy. The person who won the bid could even end up getting harmed. The Earth might become a better place, but Di Jiu felt that the greed caused by those treasures would negate all the side benefits.

Di Jiu remained silent. In the end, he stood up and said, “Thank you for telling me this. I have to go now.”

Hu Qianli stood up immediately and said, “It is our family who should be thankful to have you here, Mr. Jiu. I hope you would not mind me giving you a humble gift to show my gratitude.”

Di Jiu patted Hu Qianli on the back and chuckled. “I need a large sum of cash to go to the auction. You can keep your gift. I will definitely find a solution.”

He did not say this without a reason. While he had been frantically conducting pharmaceutical experiments related to martial roots back in the Ji Nation, he had accidentally discovered some formulas that were extremely useful to people seeking to cultivate their martial roots. However, he was unable to cultivate those formulas. The most effective one had been the one that used wild Ming Lu as the main active ingredient, which resulted in a drastic boost in the user’s strength and cultivation progress. He had secretly tested this drug on the Di Clan’s disciples.

Di Jiu still had some of those herbs with him, so he could create a few bottles of that formula for his own use and sell the rest at the auction.

When he heard Di Jiu’s decision to attend the auction, Hu Qianli took back his card. There were only a few thousand dollars in it, so he knew that it would not be enough to buy a ticket to the Fairy Planet auction.

“If you want to go to the auction, Mr. Jiu, you could visit the Ji Family in Yan Jing,” Hu Qianli said.

He did not wait for Di Jiu to ask anything. He immediately explained, “The Ji Family owns the world’s most successful family business. It actually ranks among the top 10 family businesses all over the world. Ji Baishan is a kind, charitable person, just like his name suggests. Unfortunately, his grandson, Ji Xiaoting, was poisoned at the Fairy Planet. Although he has returned to the Swallow Capital, his poison has not been neutralized yet. Ji Xiaoting’s father, Ji Yanghong, went to the Fairy Planet to find a cure, but no one is aware of his whereabouts right now.”

“Do you mean that I should treat him?” Di Jiu asked immediately.

Hu Qianli nodded. “Ji Baishan has a great influence. He can get you a Fairy Planet auction ticket. He would be willing to go to great lengths for his family.”

“I understand. Thank you.” Di Jiu nodded.

Hu Qianli knew that he lacked the ability and money to attend the auction.

Di Jiu always honored his word. After bidding Hu Qianli and Lin Bo farewell, he left for the train station and took a train to the Swallow Capital.

...

Dai Cheng City was located on the borders of Northern China.

The Chang Hu Three Bridges District enjoyed the best scenery in the whole Dai Cheng City. It was also the most expensive location in the city. This was especially true for the Immortal Mountain Villa Area in Three Bridges, where every villa was really luxurious.

There was a villa, which was located at the extreme borders of the Immortal Mountain Villa Area, that was obviously more spacious than the other villas. Bi Zhengsheng stood respectfully by the lowest seat in the lobby of that villa. The people around him were not qualified to enter, with the exception of a scar-faced woman and an elderly man.

There were 10 more men and women in the lobby apart from Bi Zhengsheng. All of them were sitting quietly in their seats and listening to Bi Zhengsheng’s explanation.

A man who looked slightly older than Bi Zhengsheng was sitting in the highest seat. The man looked full of spirit. The truth was that he was already sixty-three years old and he was Bi Zhengsheng’s master, Jia Qian.

Few people in the dao had never heard Jia Qian’s name. It was rumored that, before the appearance of the Fairy Planet, Jia Qian had been a supreme warrior. When the Fairy Planet had been discovered, he had been one of the first people to go there. Most of the people who had visited it had died, but he had survived. By the time he had finally returned, his martial arts had broken into the Earth Tier.

His nickname was Trustworthy. This was because he was a man one could trust to always keep his word.

When Bi Zhengsheng ended his speech, Jia Qian commented lightly, “As I understand, a person named Di Jiu, who confronted you directly, killed seven of your people and just walked away calmly. You, on the other hand, exposed the Morgue Ring and escaped here...”

Bi Zhengsheng lost all the arrogance and pride that he had possessed back when he had been at the Bi An Building. As soon as he heard Jia Qian’s words, he fell to his knees and pleaded, “I was careless this time, Master, but I will capture Di Jiu and bring him to you personally.”

Jia Qian lifted his tea cup and took a sip leisurely before setting it back down. He remained quiet for some time. Then, he said calmly, “You are not careless. You are just used to being pampered. Do you know how difficult it was to set up the Morgue Ring in China? The ring in Luo Jin was the most important one, yet you made a mess out of it. Do you think that I should give you a second chance?”

“Master...” Bi Zhengsheng cried uneasily.

Jia Qian interrupted Bi Zhengsheng by turning to the beautiful teenage girl beside him and saying, “Tell us about your investigation.”
