Chapter 12: The Di Clan’s Seven Sabers

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

What could be more exciting than this? To Di Jiu, the appearance of the Fairy Planet was no longer important. What was important was that he could finally practise martial arts.

Being able to practise meant that he needed to make a fortune so that he could buy the herbs necessary for his training.

In the past, he had only had a few hundred yuan to his name. Although Di Jiu had not taken this to heart, now he was in a rush to start earning money. This was actually his first mission.

Shen Ziyu had given him something he could use to register at the martial arts faculty at North Luo University, so he could definitely sell that at a very high price, considering the popularity of the Fairy Planet.

He could start cultivating now, so whether or not he could go to the Fairy Planet was no longer important.

Di Jiu rushed back to his residence as quickly as he could and poured the contents of his bag onto the floor.

The herbs, which he had not organized yet, and two relatively thin books tumbled out of his bag.

The book on top had the words “The Di Clan’s Seven Sabers” written on its cover.

This was a book that had been passed down through many generations of the Di family, so many people in the Ji Nation had been coveting it. However, the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers was only passed down to male descendants of the family, so it had been passed down to Di Jiu after his fifth brother had died, even though he did not have any martial roots. The book had not been passed down to Di Jiu’s three sisters because female descendants could not inherit it.

Di Jiu did not have martial roots and could not practise martial arts, so he had only read the first page of the book, which was the first move of the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers.

Now that he could practise, he naturally had to cultivate the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers.

The Di Clan’s Seven Sabers was his family’s own martial art. Although it looked like a saber art, it was actually a martial heritage the Di Clan had relied on to survive. Its cultivation process required a complementary Qi Channeling method. Cultivating it not only raised one’s Internal Qi and cultivation level, but it also allowed one to cultivate their saber art.

This was the reason all members of the Di Clan were invincible on the battlefield—it was because of the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers.

Even though he didn’t have a saber, Di Jiu decided to start cultivating the Di Clan’s Seven Sabers that day.

He put that book aside and grabbed a thinner one.

This book was titled “Secrets Of A Martial King” and it had been written by the Martial King expert of the Di Clan, Di Yue.

Di Jiu was not sure how many Martial King experts there were in the Yalun Continent, but he was sure that there were none in the Ji Nation. The highest cultivation level was probably a Martial Grandmaster, who was one step away from opening up the sea of Qi energy needed for a Martial King.

Since Di Jiu had been unable to practise martial arts, the book was practically untouched.

Di Jiu was sure that, although he could practise martial arts now, he could not be considered a warrior, so he definitely did not qualify to read this book just yet.

After he closed the book, he gathered all the herbs he had collected. Some of them had been dug up in the Ji Nation, while others had come from the Wang Chuan Mountains.

When everything was organized, all that was left was a dagger and a red-colored herb. The dagger, which was approximately 20-centimeters long, was something he had obtained from an auction at Pearl City. The handle of the dagger had the words ‘The Derelict’ carved on it.

Di Jiu, who was sure that the Earth did not possess weapons of such quality, burnished the dagger carefully before setting it aside.

The red plant was an herb called Red Xue Flower. Although this flower was very precious, Di Jiu had no money to buy a jade box to preserve it.

The reason he had perished in that ravine in his previous life had most likely been this Red Xue Flower. Di Jiu sighed. He was aware that all these mysteries could not have been a coincidence. Even if his previous incarnation had not lost his life due to the Red Xue Flower, as long as he had appeared on Earth, his previous incarnation would still have died. Otherwise, he would not have been able to reach Earth.

As Di Jiu was thinking about putting the flower away, someone starting knocking on his front door.

He put away his belongings in his bag quickly and opened the door.

“Who are you?” Di Jiu was slightly puzzled as he looked at the middle-aged lady standing in the doorway. Unlike Shen Ziyu, whom he had recognized after a while, he did not recognize this woman at all.

The woman in front of him looked classy. She seemed to be dressed from head to toe in designer clothes, which implied that she was someone of a certain status.

“You sure can run, Di Zimo. We have not been able to find you for the past couple of years.” As the lady looked at Di Jiu, her voice had a hint of sarcasm.

Di Jiu ignored her completely. Where he went was his own business. Who was this woman anyway? Did she think that the whole world revolved around her?

“Sign this. The amount you’ll be given when you sign is one million. Nothing will change if you don’t sign it.” The woman pulled out a contract and handed it to him.

Di Jiu read it in confusion. The details on the contract were not that complicated. He was able to get the gist just by scanning its content.

If he signed this agreement, he would be giving up his right to inherit the Di Clan’s drug-manufacturing business, including the seven buildings where his clan manufactured drugs, their four pharmaceutical factories and six hospitals. There were also many other assets listed, such as the Medicine Business Center and a long list of manors.

What is this? Could he have been born into a wealthy family with so many assets?

“Sign the contract quickly. Even if you don’t sign it, Ziheng will still find somebody related to him by blood. When that happens, you will not be able to get a single cent. Do you know why Ziheng is giving you one million? It’s only because he considers you his elder brother. He cannot bear to see you live like this.” There was no warmth in the woman’s voice. She seemed to be certain that he would sign the contract.

Only a fool would not sign such a contract. If he signed it, he would get a million. If he didn’t, he would get nothing. However, money was a small issue. It was the consequences of signing the contract that were dire.

Di Jiu did not know what his identity in his previous life on Earth had been, but he knew that he’d never had the intention of signing such a thing.

He casually threw the contract in his hands back at the woman. “Scram before I call the police.”

“You...” The middle-aged woman had not expected such a reaction from him. Her face turned white from anger. “Good, very good,” she sneered.

Then, she picked up the contract from the floor and left.

After she left, Di Jiu calmly looked at another lady, who was standing a stone’s throw away. She had been following the first woman closely. When the middle-aged woman had asked Di Jiu to sign the agreement, the lady had not uttered a single word. She had merely stood there and waited.

Compared to the other woman, this lady was wearing much simpler clothing.

When she saw Di Jiu cast a glance in her direction, she said hurriedly, “Young Master Di, Miss Ziyu told me to come here. If you are available, could you spare a moment to see her?”

“If you have anything to say, just tell me right now,” Di Jiu said unkindly. It was not as if this place was the land of kindness. He seemed to be deeply involved in many matters that concerned Di Zimo.

“Miss Ziyu is in the hospital, and she has a few words she would like to say to you.” The lady’s tone was very respectful. She spoke as if Di Jiu was a royal.

Shen Ziyu has been hospitalized? Although he did not know why Shen Ziyu was in the hospital, he still told the lady, “Let’s go together then.”

He and Shen Ziyu might have gotten divorced, but it didn’t matter to him whether his previous incarnation had left her. He currently did not have any ill feelings for her.
