"I got it back..." Mr. Ba looked at the green leaf in Li Xiu's hand, his hands shaking uncontrollably.

"Don't be anxious, give me the bead first." Li Xiu took back the green leaf in his hand.

Mr. Ba nodded, stood up and moved the stool under the room, stepped on the stool to take down the beads hanging on the beam and handed them to Li Xiu.

After Li Xiu took the beads, he gave the green leaf to Mr. Ba.

Mr. Ba took the green leaf with trembling hands, held it carefully in his hands, then returned to the table and put the green leaf into a bowl full of water.

As soon as the green leaves entered the water, the originally clear and transparent water immediately turned emerald green.

The leaves seemed to melt and disappeared after a moment, leaving only a bowl of green soup.

Mr. Ba picked up the bowl and drank the green soup in it in big gulps.

Li Xiu stared at Mr. Ba, wanting to see how he would react after drinking it, but it seemed like there was no reaction at all. Mr. Ba laughed and walked out the door.

After walking out of the cabin, he bathed in the sunshine, closed his eyes and opened his hands, as if embracing the air of freedom.

"Xiao Ba, what are you doing?" a charming woman's voice came.

Mr. Ba was slightly angry. Apart from the hostess here, who else would dare to call him Xiao Ba? Is he tired of living?

But when he turned around, Mr. Ba's eyes widened: "You...you...you are Wan Chaochun...how come you are here...your face..."

Wan Chaochun walked out of the red room, ignoring Master Ba, and walked directly to Li Xiu, took Li Xiu's hand and said, "I said I accept you as my brother, now let's swear an oath of blood and become siblings."

As he spoke, Wan Chaochun took out two jade bowls, one white and one black, and placed them on the stone steps. Then he waved his hand casually, and a strange light fell into the bowls. The water vapor around them quickly condensed into the jade bowls, and soon turned into two full bowls of water.

Wan Chaochun bit his hand, squeezed out two drops of blood, dripped one drop into each bowl, and then looked at Li Xiu.

Li Xiu was a little depressed. He just wanted to have a godsister and didn't want to drink blood wine. Who knew Wan Chaochun really wanted to swear an oath of blood.

If Li Xiu didn't do it now, he would have no way to explain himself, so he had to cut his finger and drip his own blood into it.

"Wait a minute, we're all wanderers in the same world, so if you want to become sworn brothers, you should count me in." Tang Tianzhen suddenly came over and said with a smile.

"Who are you and what qualifications do you have to become my sworn brothers?" Wan Chaochun frowned.

"You live in the red house and I live in the blue house. We have lived in the same yard for decades. This should be considered fate, right?" Tang Tianzhen said with a smile, without any sign of anger.

"Are you from the Blue House?" Wan Chaochun looked at Tang Tianzhen with some surprise.

When Wan Chaochun arrived, there was already someone in the blue house, so she didn't know who was in the blue house. She only knew that the person in the middle wooden house was the Eighth Master.

"That makes sense. Since we have lived in the same courtyard for decades, it is really a great fate. Count me in as one." Mr. Ba also came over with a smile.

But he looked at Wan Chaochun, as if he wanted to know whether Wan Chaochun would agree.

Wan Chaochun ignored Master Ba and just stared at Tang Tianzhen. After a long while, he said calmly, "In that case, let's go together."

"Since we've already paid our respects, it wouldn't make much difference if I were your friend." Li Xiu pulled Chu Jun over as well.

Chu Jun was still somewhat reluctant, as he didn't want to get involved in these sworn brotherhood issues, but he had no choice after being pulled over by Li Xiuqiang.

Mr. Ba took out his own red jade bowl, but there were only three bowls, which were not enough for five people.

Wan Chaochun took out the white jade bottle and said to Li Xiu with a smile: "Xiao Xiu, let's drink from one bottle together."

"That's fine." Li Xiu nodded.

The five people swore an oath of blood again. When everyone was about to drink, Master Ba said, "Don't be impatient. We haven't decided who's the better one yet."

Mr. Ba swept his eyes over everyone, then said with a smile: "This matter was proposed by Sister Chun. Sister Chun is naturally the well-deserved eldest sister and deserves to be the first."

Seeing that no one spoke, Master Ba glanced at Tang Tianzhen and said, "This master should be a high-ranking monk who deserves the position of the second-in-command."

"I'm not a monk, my name is Tang Tianzhen." Tang Tianzhen said lightly.

"Then Brother Tang is the second brother." The Eighth Master immediately said with a smile.

After saying that, Mr. Ba turned his eyes to look at Li Xiu and Chu Jun again. The smile on his face became even more intense. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Chu Jun say, "I have money, so I don't want to be the fifth."

"Rich? How much money can you have?" Mr. Ba said with a disdainful sneer.

"This yard is built on my family's land. How much money do you think I have?" Chu Jun said with a sneer.

He was deliberately making things difficult for the Eighth Master. It was obvious that the Eighth Master was a bully who only bullied the weak and feared the strong. He first promoted Chao Wanchun and Tang Tianzhen, wanting to be the third in command himself, and did not distinguish between the two based on age.

"Are you from the Chu family?" Mr. Ba was slightly stunned.

"The heir of the Chu family." Chu Jun corrected.

The Eighth Master rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I have lived in the Chu family for decades, so I should respect the master. Brother Chu deserves to be the third brother."

Having said that, Mr. Ba looked at Li Xiu again.

"I don't want to be the fifth one. You can do whatever you want." Li Xiu said lightly.

"This..." Mr. Ba felt a little uncomfortable.

"I only recognize Xiao Xiu." Seeing Mr. Ba looking at him, Wan Chaochun said lightly.

In the end, the Eighth Master had no choice but to be the fifth child, with three older brothers and one older sister, but he still seemed very happy.

When it came to the swearing part, Master Ba took the lead and swore: "Today, I, Yu Ba, Wan Chaochun, Tang Tianzhen, Chu Jun, and Li Xiuyi become sworn brothers. We do not ask to be born on the same day of the same month of the same year, but we ask that..."

"Wait a minute." Wan Chaochun interrupted Master Ba and said coldly, "You are an old man, half of your body is already buried in the ground. Who wants to live and die with you?"

Mr. Ba smiled awkwardly and said, "What elder sister is teaching me is that I didn't think it through. I'll say it again."

"Today I am in my eighth year and... I do not ask to be born on the same day, month and year, but I ask to support each other, help each other, unite as one, not kill each other, not betray the brotherhood, not... If you violate this, the sky will strike you with five thunders, you will not die a good death, you will go to the eighteen levels of hell and never be reborn, your child will be born without anus, you will be hit by a car when you go out, and your whole family will get AIDS..."

Li Xiu and Chu Jun looked at him in amazement, not knowing what the hell he was doing. The oaths became more and more vicious. The Eighth Master swore for several minutes. If Wan Chaochun hadn't glared at him, he would have continued.

"It's your turn." Mr. Ba looked at the other people.

"Ditto." Wan Chaochun said.

Li Xiu and the others also followed suit. The four of them finished the job together, and then they each drank their own blood.

Wan Chaochun picked up the white jade bottle, took a sip himself, and then handed it to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu took it, took a sip, and gave it back to Wan Chaochun.

"From today on, you are my fourth brother. If anyone bullies you, just come to me." After Wan Chaochun finished speaking to Li Xiu, he added, "I have been away from home for many years. I need to go home first. We can get together again later."

After saying that, Wan Chaochun turned and left.

Seeing Wan Chaochun leaving, the Eighth Master also bowed and said, "My three brothers, there are relatives at home waiting for you. I will leave first. I will talk to you all in the future."

After the Eighth Master left, Li Xiu and Chu Jun both looked at Tang Tianzhen.

"My parents passed away a long time ago and I have no children. Now I am alone and have nowhere to go. I have lived here for decades and I have gotten used to it. I'd better continue to live here," said Tang Tianzhen.

"If you don't mind, you can go back to the City of Light with us," said Li Xiu.

"Don't worry, fourth brother. I have no connection with Changshengtian anymore." Tang Tianzhen said with a smile, as if he saw through Li Xiu's thoughts.

"Second brother is always welcome in the City of Light." Li Xiu also smiled, and everything was said without words.

After Li Xiu and Chu Jun said goodbye to Tang Tianzhen, they went out and headed towards Baiye City.

"Li Xiu, why do those three guys insist on becoming sworn brothers with us?" Chu Jun is not a fool, he can naturally see that there is a problem, especially with that old eight.

Li Xiu shook his head and said, "I know something about Wan Chaochun, but I don't know much about Tang Tianzhen. As for Lao Ba, he seems to be very afraid of Wan Chaochun. He probably doesn't know Tang Tianzhen either, but he saw that Wan Chaochun seemed to be a little afraid of Tang Tianzhen, so he was also very afraid of Tang Tianzhen."

"That old guy made such a poisonous oath, it turns out he was afraid." Chu Jun understood and said with a smile.

Li Xiu smiled and said, "It's good this way. If Wan Chaochun wants to turn against me in the future, I will still have some reservations."

"I think she treats you well, why would she turn against you?" Chu Jun asked puzzled.

"She is Wan Chaoxin's aunt." Li Xiu explained.

"So... aren't we the grandfathers of Wan Chaoxin..." Chu Jun said, touching his chin.

The two of them rushed all the way to Baiye City. While on the way, Li Xiu was studying the magic mace in his hand.

This magic mace is quite strange. Li Xiu can already be sure that it is not a magic weapon. It seems to be just a weapon made of metal.

Apart from the word "Ling" on the mace, there is nothing special about it.

But Li Xiu, who pulled it out, knew very well that this thing was by no means as simple as it seemed.

In fact, even if LightSpeed ​​2 was turned on at full power, it would not be able to pull it out from the roots.

The reason why he finally pulled it out was not entirely because of the powerful force of Lightspeed No. 2 after overloading. In fact, the word "Spirit" on the mace reacted to Li Xiu's spiritual consciousness after he crossed the line. The body of the mace vibrated, loosening the tree roots that were holding it, so he was able to pull it out.

"This thing is the same as the magic suit, and it responds to spiritual consciousness. But its requirements are relatively high. I can only make it respond after crossing the line. Moreover, the spiritual mace is different from the magic suit. The magic suit relies on magic light as energy, but there is no magic light in the spiritual mace, and no magic light is radiated after activation. It's just that the power it bursts out seems to be more terrifying than the top-level magic suit..." Li Xiu studied it for a long time and found that only after his spiritual consciousness crossed the line can its power be stimulated.

After the power of the spirit mace is activated, the destructive power it can unleash is greater than that of a light-speed gun.

However, this spiritual mace also has a problem. As Li Xiu continues to activate it, the word "Spirit" on the mace becomes more and more vivid, as if it is about to come alive and fly out of the mace.

Li Xiu had a premonition that the word "Spirit" might really fly out from the mace, and something big would definitely happen at that time.

When they arrived at Baiye City, Lord Chu arranged for Li Xiu to stay in the guest room of the Chu family compound, and he left in a hurry.

Li Xiu was lying on the bed, holding the white jade bead in his hand, playing with it over and over again.

The jade beads are crystal clear, but there seems to be milky smoke flowing inside, which looks extremely magical.

Li Xiu had no way of confirming whether this was the Sui Hou Pearl that the vase weirdo mentioned, but he was certain that it was a magic gem.

While holding this jade bead, Li Xiu would always feel waves of hunger in his stomach, as if urging him to swallow the jade bead quickly.

"The young demon in my belly is probably evolving with the help of some special substance in the demon gem. When its level is not high enough to evolve, my level cannot be raised either. This is really unreasonable." Li Xiu did not turn the jade bead into a demon immediately.

Even if it is a parasitic relationship, there is no reason why he cannot be promoted if the young demon spirit does not advance.

This relationship doesn't look entirely like parasitism, but more like the relationship between Li Xiu and the symbiotic contract.

"Those three bowls of evolutionary fluids can allow me and the young demon spirit to advance in level, but I don't know where they came from. Who is the owner of Good Luck Hill? Why did he build such a yard on Good Luck Hill? Why did he put so many strange things here, and why did he trap Wan Chaochun and the others..."

Li Xiu couldn't figure out what the owner of Good Luck Hill wanted to do.

If the purpose was simply to imprison Wan Chaochun and the others, there would be no need to leave so many things in there.

If Wan Chaochun and the others were imprisoned in order to guard the treasures at home, then Wan Chaochun and the others are having the opposite effect. Not only can they not help guard the treasures, but they will become accomplices instead.

"Does the hostess just want to give these treasures away? Or does she want to use the treasures to lure others to die?" Li Xiu really couldn't figure out the logic behind this. Anyway, he had never seen a normal person do such a thing.

Li Xiu was extremely hungry, so he dripped blood on the jade beads, wanting to turn them into a magic ring.

The blood dripped onto the crystal beads and gradually disappeared into the jade beads. But the next second, the white smoke inside the jade beads rolled and actually resisted Li Xiu.

The whole bead vibrated, broke free from Li Xiu's hand and fell to the ground.

A large amount of mist sprayed out from the jade beads, and the floor of the entire room seemed to be sprayed with a lot of dry ice. The tables, chairs, stools and beds seemed to be floating on the clouds.

When Li Xiu was frowning, he saw a white head coming out from the white smoke, staring at him with its head raised.

The head was clearly a snake head carved from white jade, as big as a bucket, with a pair of evil snake eyes staring coldly at Li Xiu.

"The vase monster has really used another underhanded trick. This evil spirit has not completely severed its connection with him. It is still his evil spirit and there is no way to renew the contract." Li Xiu looked at the white snake that looked like a jade carving and immediately summoned the Jedi Knight to stand in front of him.

The Jedi Knight confronted the White Snake. The White Snake did not take the initiative to attack, and Li Xiu did not let the Jedi Knight take the initiative to attack.

After all, this is the Chu family. If a fight really breaks out, it would be a bit unreasonable to demolish someone else's house.

Although the White Snake has not completely cut off contact with the Vase Monster, the two are so far apart and there is also the Trial Gate between them. The Vase Monster may not be able to control the White Snake, so a peaceful solution is not impossible.

The white snake had not launched an attack, which seemed to confirm Li Xiu's thoughts.

When Li Zheng was thinking about how to turn the white snake into a jade bead, his body suddenly changed.

Threads of crystal clear liquid oozed out of his body, as if every pore was overflowing with liquid.

In just a blink of an eye, Li Xiu's entire body was completely wrapped in the white liquid. The next second, the white liquid hardened into a crystal shell, making Li Xiu look like a demon spirit.

"Why did the young demon spirit come out on its own this time?" Li Xiu was a little surprised.

The last time the young demon spirit came out was because his life was in danger. But this time, he hadn't encountered any danger yet, but the young demon spirit actually came out on its own. This was not a good thing.

Li Xiu felt his body being driven by a powerful force and he involuntarily walked towards the white snake.

When the white snake saw Li Xiu coming, it began to tremble and actually retreated as if it was afraid.

But the room was not too big, and it hit the wall after retreating a short distance, with no way to retreat anymore.

Li Xiu, who was controlled by the young demon spirit, stretched out a hand and pressed it on the trembling body of the white snake.

The next second, the crystal shell on Li Xiu's body began to melt, and then flowed to the body of the white snake, covering the scales on the white snake.

Li Xiu was overjoyed: "Could it be that the young demon spirit found that the white snake demon spirit has more parasitic value, so it wants to leave me and parasitize it?"

The white liquid on Li Xiu's body became less and less, while the white liquid on the white snake became more and more, and soon its body was completely covered in white liquid.

There was very little white liquid on Li Xiu's body, only a little white mucus on his fingertips connected to the white liquid on the white snake.

"Finally, I'm leaving!" Li Xiu's face suddenly changed when he saw the white liquid almost separating from his fingertips.

The white liquid that was about to separate suddenly stuck back, and a large amount of white liquid flowed back into Li Xiu's body.

Li Xiu shook his hands desperately, trying to get rid of the last bit of white liquid on his hands.

But it was completely useless. A large group of white liquid bounced back, landed on his body, penetrated into his pores, and soon disappeared.

Li Xiu then discovered that the white snake that was wrapped in the white liquid had disappeared. He quickly lowered his head to look at his finger, and sure enough, there was an extra white jade ring on it. It should be the magic ring that the young magic spirit transformed into after swallowing the jade bead.

Li Xiu sighed and carefully studied the information of the evil spirit. After seeing it, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.
