"Kill him." Li Xiu gave the order directly to the Jedi Knight.
The Jedi Knight raised his sword and was about to chop at the Spirit-Eating Tree, but the Tree Face quickly shouted, "The thing I'm talking about is the Suihou Pearl, one of the two treasures that the First Emperor valued the most."
"Go on, my patience is limited. This is your last chance." Li Xiu stopped the Jedi Knight and said coldly to the tree face.
In fact, Li Xiu didn't know what Sui Hou Zhu was and had never heard of it.
"The First Emperor had two treasures. People in later generations only knew about one of the two treasures, the Heshi Bi, but not many knew about the Suihou Pearl." Shu Lian did not dare to keep the secret any longer and explained the origin of the Suihou Pearl.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a small country called Sui. When Sui Hou, the monarch of Sui, was traveling, he saw a wounded giant snake on the road. Seeing that the snake was in great pain, he felt sorry for it, so he rescued the snake and let it go.
What followed was the well-known story of the snake repaying a favor. That night, the big snake held a bead in its mouth and gave it to Sui Hou to repay his kindness.
The bead still shone brightly in the night, with a strange fluorescence.
Legend has it that the bead is the inner elixir of a giant snake, so some people call it the Spirit Snake Bead, but most people still call it the Sui Hou Bead.
Later, the State of Sui was destroyed by the State of Chu, and the State of Chu was destroyed by the State of Qin. The Suihou Pearl then fell into the hands of Qin Shihuang and was regarded as one of the two most precious treasures, on par with the Heshi Bi.
After the Qin Dynasty was destroyed, the Sui Hou Pearl disappeared along with the He Shi Bi. Later, the imperial seal carved from the He Shi Bi appeared from time to time, but the Sui Hou Pearl disappeared after that, and no one knows its whereabouts to this day.
Therefore, there is not much information about Suihouzhu, so it is normal that Li Xiu has not heard of it.
Tree Face continued, "Most people think that Suihou Pearls are ordinary night-shining pearls, or pearls. In fact, neither is true. Suihou Pearls are a kind of gemstone, a gemstone that glows by itself."
"Do you think I'm illiterate? There are stones on the earth that can glow by themselves, which means that the gems may have radiation. Qin Shihuang wore a radioactive gem. Did he think he was dying too long?" Li Xiu said with a frown.
Most gemstones reflect light but do not emit light themselves. Many gemstones that emit light themselves are very likely to contain radioactive elements, and wearing such gemstones is harmful to the body.
Common gemstones with excessive radiation include natural zircon. Their colors and fire are very beautiful, but natural zircon may have excessive radiation. Therefore, if natural zircon has not been tested by professional organizations, you should not wear it casually.
"A stone that glows by itself doesn't necessarily have radiation. It could also be a magic gem. The Suihou Pearl is a magic gem, and the magic spirit inside it is extraordinary. It is completely different from the magic spirits bred by ordinary magic gems."
The tree-faced man looked at Li Xiu and asked, "The magic spirits transformed by the magic gems you have seen are mainly humanoid?"
"Not bad." Li Xiu nodded.
"The demon spirit transformed by Suihouzhu is actually a white snake." said Tree Face.
"Even if there really is a Suihou Pearl, it is also a magic gem. But what does it have to do with you? How can it prove that you are from the Qin Dynasty?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the tree face.
"The Suihou Pearl disappeared when the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. Do you know why no one has seen its whereabouts for thousands of years?" Tree Face said with some pride, "Because I stole the Suihou Pearl from the Qin Emperor's Palace during the chaos when the Qin Dynasty was destroyed. It has always been with me, so it is impossible for it to be spread out."
"My first gem magic spirit came from the Sui Hou Pearl, a truly glorious magic spirit. The white snake magic spirit has been with me for thousands of years and has long been promoted to S-level. I don't know how many disasters it has helped me through. As long as you are willing to let me go, I can give you the Sui Hou Pearl." Tree Face said.
"You must know that a contracted gem spirit will not make a contract with a second person unless its owner dies, right?" Li Xiu said.
"Do you think I'm still alive now?" Tree Face said with a miserable smile.
"That's true, where is Sui Houzhu?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"The Suihou Pearl is not with me, but I can tell you where it is hidden. Just go and get it." said Tree Face.
"It's really hard for you to make up such a story to save your life. I almost believed it." Li Xiu said coldly, staring at Shu Lian.
After the magic gem is contracted, the gem can automatically return to its owner. If Sui Houzhu was really contracted by this weirdo, how could it not be with him?
"That old guy wanted to harm me. If I had carried the Sui Hou Pearl with me at that time, do you think he wouldn't have taken it away? How could you have gotten your turn?" Tree Face sighed, "In fact, I was always on guard against that old guy at the beginning, but I didn't expect that I would fall into his hands in the end. But before he imprisoned me in the Paradise Bottle of Longevity, I used some of the methods I had arranged before to separate the Sui Hou Pearl from me and sent it to a place to hide it. If you want the Sui Hou Pearl, you can only get it yourself. I have no other way. Even if you want to kill me, I can't get it here."
"Where is Suihouzhu?" Li Xiu pondered.
"That place used to be called Gunlongpo. There was an old crooked tree on the slope, and Sui Houzhu was under that tree..." Tree Face described it in great detail, and even listed the name of the area to which Gunlongpo used to belong.
"You told me this, aren't you afraid that I will destroy your bridge after crossing it?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"If you really want to kill me, it's useless even if I ask you to swear. What else can I do? Instead of nagging you and making you want to kill me, it's better for me to be single. If you want to regret and kill me, just do it." Shu Lian seemed to be very open-minded.
"If I can't find the Suihou Pearl there, I think you know the consequences." After saying that, Li Xiu picked up the things on the ground, turned around and prepared to return to the temple.
"Unless someone discovered that Sui Houzhu had taken it away, it must still be there," said Tree Face.
Li Xiu didn't say anything else. He put a small pile of magic cores, talent gems, skill rings and magic spirit rings into the Paradise Longevity Bottle and asked the Pink Nightmare to carry the bottle back to the temple.
He didn't kill the tree face not for Sui Houzhu, but because he planned to keep the Spirit-Eating Tree to continue serving as a monster-luring device.
Having this thing to attract evil spirits for him is much more useful than running around looking for them himself.
Anyway, the Soul-Eating Tree is not going to grow legs and run away, and the Golden Gate now belongs to Li Xiu. As long as he finds someone to guard the Golden Gate and prevent outsiders from coming in, the Vase Monster will be trapped in the Soul-Eating Tree and can't go anywhere.
After Li Xiu left, the tree's face turned ferocious, and a green light shone from the body of the Spirit-Eating Tree. Roots emerged from the ground, like leeches, and penetrated into the corpses of the berserk beasts, absorbing their flesh and blood, and even the blood that seeped into the soil.
A trace of blood gradually appeared on the tree's body, and the tree face said in a sinister voice: "If it wasn't for the Soul-Eating Tree to absorb the flesh and blood of these demons to evolve, why would I have said so much nonsense to you? When the Demon-Eating Tree is promoted, when you come back, your body will definitely belong to me."
"The connection between Sui Hou Pearl and me has not been completely severed. Besides, it is a super spiritual body, so how can you make a contract with it? It will eventually return to my hands anyway. Just get it back for me. I hope Sui Hou Pearl has not been discovered yet." Shu Lian was a little worried that Sui Hou Pearl had been discovered and taken away, but he hoped that Li Xiu could really find it.
Li Xiu blew out the Longevity Lamp and returned to the outside of the Golden Gate with the Paradise Longevity Bottle and the things inside.
The harvest this time was already huge enough, and he didn't want to keep wasting time in the trial ground. He still had to improve his embryo quality in the trial field first.
The Jedi Knights are already S-level, but he is only D-level. His own level is equally important, and he needs to raise his level as soon as possible.
Li Qingyi is so young, but he is already super spiritual, which makes him feel a little embarrassed as a mere D-level trial-taker.
Li Xiu didn't even think about Li Qingyi's status. Her family had accumulated wealth for generations. How could he, who had only been in the industry for a year, compare to that?
After burying the Paradise Bottle of Eternal Life along with the magic cores and other things under the ruins of Lao Dao's wooden house, Li Xiu went to the trial field frantically at the Golden Gate to improve the quality of his embryo.
Fortunately, he is now financially strong, otherwise, if he keeps smashing the gems up, even if they are just golden beryls, most people would not be able to bear it.
In just over ten days, Li Xiu raised the quality of his embryo to 3.9, mainly because he could pass the trial field of the Golden Gate quickly. If it were the Dark Maze, doubling the time would not be enough to improve the quality of his embryo by that much.
"The Golden Gate Trial Field is really a holy place for improving the quality of the embryos. It's a pity that the quality of the embryos becomes harder and harder to improve. I've been working on the last 0.1 for two days, but it still can't be improved." Li Xiu was really tired, so he sat down in front of the Golden Gate to rest.
Recently, he also looked up the Gunlongpo that Shulian mentioned. Now the place is no longer called that name, and even the local area name has been changed. It took Li Xiu a long time to compare and determine where the Gunlongpo that Shulian mentioned was.
"Gunyoupo is now the territory of Baiye City. I can go find Chu Jun and ask him to take me there." Li Zheng was thinking when he suddenly heard a voice in the distance.
Li Xiu stood up and looked in the direction where the voice came from. After a while, he saw Ye Yuzhen coming with a group of people.
Those people were leading mules, and each mule was carrying two large boxes on its back. The team of hundreds of mules arrived in front of the Golden Gate in a mighty manner.
"City Lord, the things you requested have been delivered, and the workers are here too." Ye Yuzhen hurried forward to report.
"That's right. I asked Ah Fei to give you the blueprints before. You just stay here to supervise the work. Build the toll station for me and close the entire Golden Gate. No one can activate the Golden Gate without my permission. I will charge fees slowly in the future." Li Xiu said to Ye Yuzhen.
"Please rest assured, City Lord, we will complete the task with quality and quantity. No one will be allowed to approach the Golden Gate before any payment is made." Ye Yuzhen immediately issued an order.
"Okay, you watch over here, I have to go back to the City of Light." Li Xiu did not stay any longer to improve the last 0.1, because he had already received news from his old official that his Lightspeed 2 was completed.
Once Lightspeed 2 is achieved, he will be able to compete for the Super Spirit Gem, so he is in a hurry to go back.
"I hope that super spiritual gem has not yet come into the world." Li Xiu rushed back to the City of Light as quickly as possible.
After returning to the City of Light, Li Xiu took the Bottle of Bliss and went straight to Ximen Guan's laboratory.
"You're finally back. Lightspeed No. 2 has been completed and the instrument tests have passed. The only thing left is the human test. You're not here, so there's no way to test it. The little girl Ye Xiyuan's spiritual awareness is not strong enough, so only some of the functions can be stimulated. You have to test the rest yourself... Hey... what is this?" Ximen Guan was talking excitedly when he suddenly saw the Paradise Longevity Bottle and asked with some confusion.
Li Xiu told Ximen Guan how he got the Paradise Bottle of Longevity. Ximen Guan was a little puzzled and said, "When I was in Changshengtian, I had never heard of such a person. I don't know whether what he said is true or false. You can go to Baiye City to see if the Suihou Pearl he said really exists. But be careful not to be fooled by him. Don't believe a word that kind of person says."
"It's not too late to go after I get the super spiritual gem. I'll go test Lightspeed 2 first. I'll leave this thing to you for research. You have to be careful. This thing is a bit weird. If there's anything wrong, notify me immediately." Li Xiu gave a few instructions, turned around and left the office, and came to the laboratory warehouse.
There are several sets of magic costumes placed in the warehouse, but most of them are just semi-finished products for experiments. There is only one real finished product, and that is undoubtedly Lightspeed No. 2.
The compression state of Lightspeed 2 is similar to that of Lightspeed 1, and the volume has not been further reduced. It is estimated that it is difficult to further reduce the volume of this magic suit, unless the same technology as Ximen Guan's magic suit is used, it is possible to further compress the volume.
However, Li Xiu was already quite satisfied with this size. He walked to Lightspeed No. 2, opened the glass cover, and looked at it closely.
The outer shell is black, without any patterns or decorative lines on it. It is square and simple and elegant.
Li Xiu probably thought that it was because he was too pressed for time and had no time to work on this aspect.
Li Xiu didn't think it mattered. As long as it was functional, the appearance didn't matter. It wouldn't be too late to modify the appearance when he had time in the future.
With the experience of Lightspeed One, Li Xiu skillfully used fingerprint unlocking, and the black magic suit immediately decomposed and quickly stretched along Li Xiu's arms. After a while, the pure black magic suit completely wrapped Li Xiu's body.
On the black armor-shaped magic suit, mysterious and beautiful golden light patterns are flowing, making the originally lifeless pure black magic suit more noble. Against the backdrop of the black main body, it looks noble but not tacky.
"Hey! What is this?" Li Xiu discovered that there was an extra device behind the magic suit that he had never seen before.
I reached out and touched it, and found that the device on the back could actually be removed.
This device is a black stick, about one meter long, and just the right thickness to fit in the hand.
"What is this? Did the officer give me a baton?" Li Xiu felt that this stick was similar to a baton, but just a little longer.
But Li Xiu didn’t quite understand why Ximen Guan gave him such a stick as a weapon.
The magic suit is a whole. Even if there are weapons, they are generally fixed to the magic suit, otherwise there is no way to activate it.
This stick is completely independent and cannot be connected to the magic suit, so I don’t know what it is used for.
"This is the weapon system I designed specifically for Lightspeed 2. What do you think of it?" Ximen Guan walked in with a smile.
"How do I use this weapon?" Li Xiu had never used this kind of magical weapon before.
"Just treat it as another set of magic equipment to activate and use." Ximen Guan continued proudly: "I used some new technology on Lightspeed II. The magic equipment itself can transmit your spiritual consciousness. Without the need for physical connection, you can directly use your spiritual consciousness to activate the weapon system with an independent energy core by just touching it. However, this kind of thing definitely requires the dispersion of a part of the spiritual consciousness to use, so ordinary magicians can't use it, but you should have no problem."
It was the first time that Li Xiu had seen this kind of magical weapon. After trying it, he found that he could actually activate the stick in his hand without a physical connection.
The moment the stick was activated, golden light patterns immediately lit up, and one end of the stick popped out like a telescopic stick. The stick body with the same golden light patterns extended out, and the length instantly exceeded three meters. Even a gun head with a bloody glow popped out from the top.
The wooden stick instantly turned into a spear, black with gold all over, and the tip of the spear was even blood-red.
Li Xiu just activated the internal energy slightly, and the spear turned into a dazzling golden light. The entire spear body turned into a golden crystal, with strong magic light fluctuations surging inside. The spot of blood light on the tip of the spear was even more weird and enchanting to the extreme, as if it could penetrate the void with just a random stab.
Li Xiu waved his hand and stabbed, and the spear immediately pierced through the one-meter-thick magic gray wall used for testing as if it were stabbing into tofu.
"Good stuff, what's the name of this thing?" Li Xiu said happily.
"I'm too lazy to name it, so I'll just call it the light-speed gun." Ximen Guan said it casually, but his face was full of pride, which showed that this light-speed gun was his masterpiece.
"Yes, that's a good name." Li Xiu nodded.
"It doesn't matter whether the name is good or not. What's important is that this light-speed gun is made of the pair of strange horns you brought back and the spear-like weapon, and then with materials extracted from the magic wood. The super-spiritual gem is also installed inside. When you need stronger power, just activate it and it will be able to burst out magic light of extremely high power. Of course, the premise is that your spiritual awareness must be enough to stimulate its power. I asked Ye Xiyuan to test it before. Her activation rate is very low, and the combat power she burst out is probably not up to the level of super-spirituality." Ximen Guan said.
"As long as the power is strong enough, the material will be fine. Don't let it get burned by the magic light due to excessive power." Li Xiu asked with a smile.
“Don’t worry, this time we used refined materials of magic wood, without adding any ordinary auxiliary materials, so it is very strong. I spent a huge amount of money on this set of magic suit, and at least one third of the magic wood was used. You can’t burn it even if you burn it, especially this light speed gun, there is no problem in carrying the power of the super spirit.” Ximen Guan said confidently.
"Or... try to activate the energy of the super spiritual gem..." Li Xiu looked at Ximen Guan and asked uncertainly.
