"These things must be prepared within ten days." The old man said to Li Xiu.

"Let me calculate for you how much these things will cost in total." Li Xiu said as he looked at the list.

Li Xiu looked at the long list, which actually contained many gems. Among them, beryl was the most requested. In addition, there were rubies and sapphires. This was a considerable expense.

Li Xiu is extremely poor now, so of course it is impossible for him to buy these things with his own money.

As for the evil spirit, whether to kill it now or not has little impact on Li Xiu.

Since the evil spirit will rush out later, it will be easy for Li Xiu to kill it when it comes out. He will not need these things at all, so it is even more impossible for him to spend money to buy them.

"One of you is the son of the Chu family, and the other is the city lord, and you're still short of this little money? If I, an old man, have to pay, why would I ask you to help?" Lao Dao stared at Li Xiu with his eyes wide open.

"Hehe, Lao Dao, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are until you run the household. I, the city lord, have already been heavily in debt. I really can't take out this money." Li Xiu spread his hands and said sincerely.

"I have no money." said Lao Dao.

"That's nothing we can do. We can stay and help you, but we really can't buy these things." Li Xiu said, spreading his hands.

Lao Dao looked at Li Xiu and felt a little amused. He had never seen anyone like Li Xiu who valued money over his life.

"Without these things, what's the point of you staying here?" Lao Dao couldn't help but swear, then shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Forget it, let's put it this way, I have a magic ring here, use it as the money for these things."

As he spoke, Lao Dao took out a magic ring from his pocket and rubbed it in his hand reluctantly.

After a long while, Lao Dao handed the magic ring to Li Xiu and said, "This is a relic of an old friend of mine. It is a B-level brilliant magic. You must cultivate it well and never feed it casually. You must feed it sapphires. Maybe when it reaches S-level, it has a great chance to comprehend another talent skill, and then it will become a magic spirit with dual talent skills."

"Speaking of which, may I ask, besides this magic ring, do you have anything else?" Li Xiu was not very interested in the magic ring.

He himself has so many demons to feed, and this guy actually wants to eat sapphires. If he has that much money, wouldn't it be better for Li Xiu to upgrade the level of the God of Love Archer and the White Night Demon? Or is it that the level of the demigod Setsuna and the Jedi Knight is not powerful enough?

"Don't be too greedy, young man. This is a rare and top-grade magic spirit. If not... forget it... you don't want it, right?" Lao Dao was too lazy to talk nonsense with Li Xiu.

The Demon Ring is different from the Contract. As long as you understand the rules of the Trial Gate and the rules of each Trial Gate for issuing contracts, the chance of getting the Glorious Contract is still quite high.

Changshengtian has a great advantage in this regard, so when Li Xiu said that he and Chu Jun were both in the Glorious Contract, Lao Dao was not too surprised.

But it’s different for the Magic Ring. You have to risk your life for it, and you may not even get it. It all depends on luck.

Li Xiu was only a small E-level trial-taker. In his opinion, being able to obtain a B-level brilliant magic spirit was already a great luck. However, he was still not satisfied and wanted more, which made Lao Dao doubt Li Xiu's character.

Li Xiu saw that Lao Dao was like this and probably didn't have anything else to offer, so he took the Magic Ring and said with a smile: "That's not what I meant. Although the Magic Ring is very good, we have to find a suitable buyer to sell it for a high price. It would be a bit troublesome to buy something with the money."

"Sell? You want to sell the Magic Ring?" Lao Dao looked at Li Xiu as if he was looking at a lunatic.

In Changshengtian, I wonder how many members want to own such a magic spirit. If ordinary members can have such a magic spirit, they will probably wake up laughing in their dreams.

If he didn't know that he didn't have much time left and there was no point in keeping the thing, as it might end up in the grave with him if he carried it with him, how could he have given the magic ring to Li Xiu?

Li Xiu actually said that he wanted to sell it. Lao Dao's mouth twitched and he even wanted to kill him. His impression of Li Xiu became worse and worse.

"Hehe, I was just saying that. I've taken the magic ring. I'll definitely get you something exactly the same within ten days." Li Xiu saw something wrong in Lao Dao's eyes, so he turned around and left, calling Chu Jun and Qin Shi to leave together.

"Is that Old Dao reliable?" After the three of them were away from the Golden Gate, Li Xiu told them everything, and Chu Jun frowned.

"Whether it's reliable or not, I've already got the Magic Ring." Li Xiu threw the Magic Ring given by Lao Dao to Chu Jun: "Do you want to try it and see if this Magic Ring is real? If it is real, it can be used to pay off part of the money you lent me."

"My magic spirits haven't reached their levels yet, what do I need it for? They're not glorious magic spirits." Chu Jun threw the magic spirit ring to Li Xiu again.

"People in Changshengtian are not easy to deal with. You have to be careful." Qin Shi said with some concern.

“I know.” Li Xiu felt that Changshengtian was not as scary as others imagined. He already had a Changshengtian man under his command, who was working hard for him.

"What are your plans?" Chu Jun asked Li Xiu.

"Prepare the things first and send them to him to see what he wants to do. If it's just like he said, being able to lure out the evil spirit and get rid of it will be a good thing for us. After all, we will buy the Golden Gate in the future, and the S-level evil spirit in the main hall will also be a trouble." Li Xiu said.

"We'll do whatever you say." Chu Jun didn't have any objection. He was very curious about the evil spirit that Lao Dao mentioned and wanted to see it for himself.

The three people who were originally planning to go to Guyue City had to return to the City of Light along the same route and let Sha Chu prepare the materials.

Because the City Lord's Mansion had no money, Chu Jun had to use part of the money for buying the Golden Gate to pay for it.

"Old official, how is the progress of my magic costume?" Li Xiu came to the laboratory and found Ximen Guan who was busy.

"Why are you rushing us? We've been working day and night. We've stopped all other work just to make this magic suit for you. Just wait another 20 days." Ximen Guan said.

"Can it be completed within ten days? I need the magic suit for something." Li Xiu planned to take a set of magic suit to Lao Dao. If this set of magic suit could not be completed, he could only take the Ghost Face Magic Suit. However, Li Xiu did not want the people of Changshengtian to see him using the Ghost Face Magic Suit.

"At least twenty days." The old official said without raising his head.

"This is a bit troublesome." Li Xiu pondered without saying anything.

"What's so urgent?" The old official raised his head and looked at Li Xiu, somewhat curious as to why Li Xiu was so anxious to use the magic suit.

"Maybe we have to kill a demon spirit." Li Xiu told the story of Lao Dao and the Golden Gate.

"Lao Dao? You are talking about Elder Dao, right?" The old official said with some surprise after hearing this.

"Do you know him?" Li Xiu wondered how he could have forgotten about Lao Guaner. This guy had also been in Changshengtian before.

"How could I not know him? I didn't expect he was still alive. When I was in Changshengtian, he was already an elder. I have dealt with him before. He is a good guy. The other elders and general managers are all arrogant. Elder Dao is a person who does everything slowly, is easy to talk to, and has a good temper."

Ximen Guan thought for a moment and continued, "I remember that his symbiotic contract was a knife, nicknamed the Demonic Knife. Legend has it that no one has ever seen him use the knife. It's not because everyone who has seen him use the knife has died, but because his knife is too fast. Even if someone has seen him use the knife, no one can see clearly what his knife looks like, so it is called the Demonic Knife."

At this point, Ximen Guan's expression became serious: "You said that he was guarding the Golden Gate, then that should be correct. There must be a powerful demon spirit in the Golden Gate that is about to rush out, otherwise they would not let these elders guard it."

“Would Changshengtian do such a thing?” Li Xiu was a little surprised. In his impression, Changshengtian was not a good guy. He actually sent people to guard the trial gate to prevent the evil spirits inside from rushing out. This could be considered a benefit to the people.

Ximen Guan curled his lips and said, "After the evil spirit rushes out, it will look for gems to devour. Do you think Changshengtian will let the evil spirit devour the gems? That is the foundation of Changshengtian."

"So that's how it is. Although the motive is not pure, it is indeed a good thing." Li Xiu nodded.

"The fact that Elder Dao is guarding the gate personally shows that the demon that is about to rush out of the trial gate is not simple." Ximen Guan pondered and said, "How about this, I will assemble this magic suit within ten days and let you use it temporarily. I will add other main parts after I come back."

"What major components are missing?" It was the first time Li Xiu heard of such a thing.

Since it is now usable, it means the magic suit has been built. How come there are still major components that have not been installed?

"The main components of this magic suit have been almost completed. If we hurry, it should be done in ten days. However, its weapon system has not been completed yet. But you don't have to install the weapon system yet. You can use it first." Ximen Guan explained.

"How can I kill the evil spirit without a weapon system?" Li Xiu felt that Ximen Guan was joking. Without a weapon system, would he have to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the evil spirit?

"The weapon system I'm talking about is not the same as the weapon system you understand. Conventional magic light weapons are part of the magic equipment energy system. It's almost ready. There will be no problem using the magic light skills you usually use." Ximen Guan said with a smile.

Li Xiu immediately became interested and asked quickly, "What is the weapon system you are talking about?"

"Hehe, that's the weapon system I designed specifically for your magic suit. It's a special weapon system developed using the strange horn and the weapon you brought as materials. When I install it on you in the future, you'll know the benefits. Okay, don't disturb us at work. We have to rush the work, otherwise it will not be completed within ten days." Ximen Guan drove Li Xiu out.

Li Xiu was even more looking forward to the magic suit made by Ximen Guan, especially the weapon system.

Li Xiu already knew the situation of the Golden Gate, so he simply decided not to go to Gu Yue City and asked Sha Chu to find someone to contact the big boss Qiu directly to see if he could buy the Golden Gate.

"You make me do all the work, but you spend all day traveling with that beautiful magic costumer, kissing and being inseparable. Is this fair?" Sha Chu gave Li Xiu a cold look.

"How about you go traveling with me, love each other, and stay together, and leave all those things to Qin Shi?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Forget it, don't disgust me." Sha Chu rolled her eyes at Li Xiu, stretched out her long beautiful legs, and walked away twisting her body.

"Her figure is really great, but her personality is a little bad." Looking at Sha Chu's back as he left, Li Xiu touched his chin and thought.

Qin Shi finally saw the big and soft bed that Li Xiu had mentioned. Although she refused again and again, Li Xiu still gave her the room that was previously the Lord of Chongshan City.

"Pervert! How can a grown man's room be decorated like this?" Looking at the big bed covered with pink sheets and a lace pink princess curtain, Qin Shi's pretty face turned slightly red and she couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

In addition to the big pink bed, there were some oil paintings hanging on the wall. Although the women in the paintings looked very beautiful, their clothes were very revealing, and their eyes seemed to be seductive, which made Qin Shi blush even more.

“Is he hinting at something to me…will he suddenly break in in the middle of the night…should I lock the door…but if I lock the door…will he think that I don’t trust him…” Qin Shi felt very conflicted.

Qin Shi was somewhat wrong in blaming Li Xiu. This room was left behind by the former Lord of Chongshan City, and the layout had not changed.

The main reason is that Li Xiu doesn’t care about these things at all and doesn’t have money to spend on them.

As for those oil paintings, Li Xiu thought they were quite beautiful. From what Sha Chu said, they seemed to be works by particularly famous painters and were worth some money.

On the first night, Qin Shi didn't sleep well. She immediately opened her eyes as soon as she heard the slightest movement outside.

Unfortunately, after a whole night of tossing and turning, no one came to open her door.

The next morning, it was A Fei who came to ask her to go downstairs for breakfast. Qin Shi felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

After breakfast, Li Xiu called Qin Shi and said, "I see you've been in pretty good shape these days. Are you interested in exercising?"

"What do you mean?" The word "activity" made Qin Shi think of something bad, and her cheeks turned slightly red.

"I have a rookie magician here, how about she give me some pointers?" Li Xiu thought that Qin Shi would have to stay here for a while, and since she was free anyway, he might as well let her go and be Ye Xiyuan's sparring partner.

Although Ye Xiyuan has excellent talent, he lacks practical experience. Qin Shi has rich practical experience, and her ability is stronger than Qingshan, and she can better stimulate Ye Xiyuan's potential.

"Okay." Qin Shi agreed happily.

When she went out with Li Xiu before, she couldn't help at all and didn't know much about the trial-takers, which made her feel like a useless housewife.

Now Li Xiu asked her to instruct the magic armor master, which was exactly her area of ​​expertise. She felt that she should perform well, so that Li Xiu would not look down on her in the future.

When Qin Shi saw Ye Xiyuan, he actually felt a little hostility in his heart.

Ye Xiyuan is so beautiful, and Qin Shi is also a great beauty, but seeing Ye Xiyuan makes Qin Shi feel a little insecure about her appearance.

In terms of appearance, both of them can be said to have their own merits, but Ye Xiyuan has an indescribable femininity, or charm, which is very attractive to men and is something that Qin Shi does not possess.

"This girl...could she be Li Xiuyang's mistress...all men are the same, none of them are good..." Qin Shi looked at Ye Xiyuan and felt that she seemed to have no advantage in terms of appearance, age, or attractiveness to men.

"So what if she's young and beautiful? She's just a vase." Qin Shi felt that a girl like Ye Xiyuan was probably just learning for fun and didn't really want to become a magic costume master and go to the battlefield.

Qin Shi herself didn't realize that she unconsciously regarded Ye Xiyuan as a competitor.

When Qin Shi discovered that the magic costume used by Ye Xiyuan was actually the ghost mask magic costume, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Can she use the S-level Ghost Mask Demon Suit?" Qin Shi was a little unconvinced.

When Ye Xiyuan put on the ghost-masked demon costume and fought against Qin Shi, Qin Shi felt deeply frustrated.

Although it is obvious that Ye Xiyuan is indeed lacking in combat experience and probably has not experienced much actual combat, the opponent's talent and ability are by no means inferior to Qin Shi's, and may even be stronger.

The advantage that Qin Shi was proud of seemed nothing in front of Ye Xiyuan.

"Li Xiu has such an outstanding girl by his side, is he really the man destined for me?" Qin Shi was a little unconfident.

On the second night in the City of Light, Qin Shi did not sleep well again. However, this time she was not worried about Li Xiu breaking in in the middle of the night. Instead, she was wondering whether Li Xiu was interested in her and why he did not show any sign of interest.

If you are not interested, why are you so nice to her? If you are interested, why don't you take action?

Could it be that I was too cold and scared him, making Li Xiu afraid to express his feelings for me?

But if I am too enthusiastic, will Li Xiu think I am a frivolous girl?

Nothing unfortunate has happened to me for so many days. He must be my true love. I shouldn't be on guard against him all the time. Could he have misunderstood something?

That night, Qin Shi was worried and anxious and didn't sleep much.

She suddenly hoped that her door would be pushed open, and that Li Xiuzhen would come in and forcefully push her down. She would just give in to him. After all, she was just a weak woman, and it was normal for her to be powerless to resist the trial-taker.

Unfortunately, there was no movement at the door.

If Li Xiu knew that Qin Shi was waiting for him to knock her down, he might have really gone. But now he didn't know any of that. Now Li Xiu was paying attention to the latest news. Something happened in Hongsha City.

Near a small town under the jurisdiction of Hongsha City, several terrifying evil spirits appeared. The small town was almost massacred by the evil spirits, thousands of people were killed, and the city was completely destroyed.

Li Xiu looked at the address that the Lord of Hongsha City had given him before, and it was near the small town mentioned in the news.
