"Brother, don't be so nervous. Who do you think I, Jiuxiaoyun, am? After all, you helped me just now. How could I, Jiuxiaoyun, repay kindness with enmity? Besides, with your current state..." Jiuxiaoyun said this and suddenly paused, as if he was thinking about something.

The next moment, the Demon Shark suddenly flashed away, and when it reappeared, it was already next to the body of the demon spirit. After crawling out from the ground, it opened its mouth and bit the thing that was about to condense into shape.

The time he calculated was just right. By the time the Demon Shark swallowed the thing, the thing would have condensed into shape.

"If I really want to take it away, how can you stop me? I can think of it if I want, but I..." Jiu Xiaoyun hadn't finished his words when he suddenly saw a flash of white light. The Demon Shark, which was about to swallow the thing, was directly blown away by the white light.

The white light returned to Li Xiu's hand. Li Xiu reached out and grabbed a skill ring that had condensed into shape. He looked at Jiu Xiaoyun and asked, "But what about you?"

"Ahem, nothing. It's getting late. Bye." Jiuxiaoyun rode on the Demon Shark depressedly, dived into the ground and disappeared.

Li Xiu watched Jiuxiaoyun disappear and then directly used the skill ring in his hand.

The skill ring turned into a brand and appeared on Li Xiu's finger, then slowly disappeared. Some more information appeared in Li Xiu's mind.

Suction in the bottle: A super spiritual skill that absorbs light energy and converts it into personal use.

"It's actually this skill!" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He was shocked by this skill just now and didn't expect this skill to appear.

Li Xiu tried to use his super spiritual skill to suck the liquid in the bottle, and a circular ring of light energy immediately appeared in his palm. It is not accurate to call it a ring, it was more like a suction cup, round on the outside and gradually concave on the inside.

Li Xiu discovered that this skill could not be used remotely, and it must be in contact with light energy in order to absorb it.

After just using it for a while, Li Xiu immediately felt that the light energy in his body was about to be drained, and he quickly stopped the skill. These super spiritual skills consumed too much light energy, and now Li Xiu's light energy could not last for too long.

However, the light energy consumed in the bottle is obviously much less than that of the Four Sacred Pupils. Li Xiu can hold on for a while longer without having his body's light energy drained immediately after use.

"If I absorb enough light energy from the bottle, can I use it to replenish my energy and recycle the energy in the bottle? Or I can use the absorbed light energy to use the Four Sacred Pupils..." Li Xiu pondered the feasibility of this matter.

Although he possesses super spiritual skills, Li Xiu has basically never used them. Light energy consumption is a big problem. Perhaps absorbing energy from a bottle can solve this problem.

"If the skill of sucking from the bottle can be completed on the magic armor, maybe the Hand of God can be improved. Then there is no need to throw out the controlled magic light, and it can be directly sucked in and digested... The same is true in reverse... I am already a trial-taker, with light energy. If I use the Hand of God through my body and combine it with sucking from the bottle..." Li Xiu continued to think divergently. This skill of sucking from the bottle made him see many possibilities.

For Li Xiu, the practicality of this skill is far stronger than the Four Sacred Eyes.

He set out on the road again with Sha Chu, looking for demons to hunt. As long as there were high-quality magic cores, Li Xiu fed them to the Jedi Knights. The upper limit of the Jedi Knights' super spirits also increased by several percentage points. When Li Xiu and Sha Chu left the land of beasts, the upper limit of the Jedi Knights' super spirits had reached 6%.

This was because Li Xiu was in a hurry to go back and was not fully focused on hunting the evil spirits.

After going out, Li Xiu gave all the other spoils to Sha Chu and asked her to exchange them for the necessary supplies.

Except for Sha Chu and Li Xiu who each kept a Pegasus magic spirit, all the other talent gems, skill rings and magic spirit rings were exchanged for supplies.

Riding Pegasus back to Changsheng City, I finally don’t have to climb mountains or wear magic costumes so hard.

The reason why Li Xiu was in such a hurry to come back was because it was almost time to measure the celestial secrets, and he wanted to see what Changshengtian's celestial secrets were like.

When he was in the Hall of Eternal Life before, the voice in the furnace told him some things about predicting the celestial secrets, and Li Xiu was quite interested in this.

According to the voice in the furnace, Changshengtian will measure the secrets of heaven every sixty years, and based on the results of the measurement, Changshengtian's policies will be adjusted accordingly.

Originally the sixty-year period had passed, but this time the person responsible for observing the celestial secrets had a problem and no suitable replacement could be found, so this time's observation of the celestial secrets has been postponed for several years.

Li Xiu can be considered a beneficiary of this incident. Under normal circumstances, the prediction of the celestial secrets during this sixty-year period will determine whether to push the trial-taker onto the world stage.

As a result, the Heaven's Secret Test did not take place as scheduled, so when Li Xiu held the Magic Spirit Competition, some people supported it and some opposed it.

If the secret had been decided, it would not be Li Xiu's turn to organize the Magic Spirit Competition, or Li Xiu would be secretly killed by Changshengtian while he was still preparing for the Magic Spirit Competition.

It has been decided that the trial-takers will be pushed onto the world stage, so the content of this test of the secrets will also be changed. No one knows what will be tested yet, and this will be decided by the president.

In the past, it was always announced in advance, but this time it was a little special, so until now no one knows what the content of the celestial secret is.

Li Xiu came back just to see what the president of Changshengtian looked like, and then see what he wanted to test.

"What are they doing?" Li Xiu was walking on the street of Changsheng City and saw many demons pulling large and small carts carrying a lot of things towards the northern district of the city.

We had only walked a short distance when we saw four or five groups of people.

Sha Chu shook her head, she didn't know what she was doing.

"They are going to have their fortune told." A man's voice came from the side.

Li Xiu and Sha Chu turned around and saw that the person who was speaking was Mo Liu, and with him was Sun Gang, whom they had met before.

"Fortune telling?" Li Xiu thought of Lao Ba.

Mo Liu came over and explained, "Yes, fortune-telling. Changsheng City has a fortune-telling cycle of sixty years. Every sixty years, the fortune-telling is done once. Before each fortune-telling, these wealthy families will first ask the celestial master to tell their fortunes, hoping that they will still have good fortune in the next sixty years."

"Huh, is that fortune-telling? I think it should be called buying luck." Sun Gang said disdainfully.

"What is buying luck? Can fortune be bought? Does the heavenly master have the power to change one's fortune against all odds?" Sha Chu asked in surprise.

"I don't know if there are any great methods to change one's fortune, but among the eight great families in the past, two of them declined rapidly because of some bad fortunes related to them when they were divining the heavens."

After Sun Gang said this, Li Xiu and Sha Chu understood.

In name, these big families spend huge amounts of money to ask a Taoist priest to tell their fortunes, but in reality they just hope that the Taoist priest will not mention words related to them when he is telling their fortunes.

"Doesn't the president know these things?" Sha Chu felt a little unbelievable.

It is too outrageous that such an organization that is so powerful that it can control the world behind the scenes would decide the rise and fall of a family in such a bizarre way.

"It is because the president believes in this that he predicts the celestial secrets once every sixty years. Otherwise, who would predict this kind of thing?" Sun Gang was obviously very dissatisfied with predicting the celestial secrets.

"Sun Gang, stop talking nonsense." Seeing that Sun Gang was getting more and more outrageous, Mo Liu quickly spoke out to stop him.

Although Sun Gang was very dissatisfied, he also knew that what he said was inappropriate, so he kept silent.

"What are you going to do?" Li Xiu looked at the two of them and asked.

"Go and ask for fortune-telling." Mo Liu replied with a smile.

"Don't you believe this?" Sha Chu looked at Sun Gang with some surprise.

"Believe it or not is one thing, go or not is another." Mo Liu said: "Besides, the Heavenly Master just returned recently, so we should show our concern."

"Who is that Heavenly Master?" The more Li Xiu listened, the more it sounded like Lao Ba. However, he didn't feel that Lao Ba was that powerful.

"The Heavenly Master's surname is Yu, and he is respectfully called the Eighth Master." Mo Liu said.

"It's Lao Ba indeed." Li Xiu was not surprised. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can you take me with you?"

"You can go, but I'm afraid you won't be able to get in." Mo Liu said.

"Why? You brought so many gifts with you, but the master still refused you?" Sha Chu asked in surprise.

Sun Gang snorted coldly and said, "They usually only receive the head of the household. Some of us who come to do fortune telling by ourselves are not even allowed to enter. They just collect our things and let the servants take the fortune to be told. We can only wait outside to get the fortune. Moreover, they only write the fortune and are not responsible for interpreting it. You can guess what it means when you go back."

"This money is too easy to make." After hearing this, Li Xiu felt that he should go there even more.

It turns out that the Eighth Brother has such a status in Changshengtian. Everyone throws money in his face. It shouldn't be too much for his elder brother to spend some of his money and charge him a few meals, right?

Li Xiu asked Sha Chu to deal with the things first, and he followed Mo Liu and Sun Gang to Tianshiyuan.

There were other people from the Mo and Sun families who went to the Taoist priest to have their fortunes told. Mo Liu and Sun Gang only went to have their fortunes told on behalf of their parents' generation and could not represent the entire Mo and Sun families.

So the gifts they prepared were not that many, just a box of gems for each person.

When we arrived outside the Tianshi Temple, we found that the people queuing outside had already lined up to the entrance of the alley, and many of them were pulling carts full of gifts.

Li Xiu looked forward and actually saw an acquaintance. Wan Chaoxin was also standing in line.

Wan Chaoxin's senses were very sharp. When Li Xiu looked at him, he seemed to sense it and turned around to look at Li Xiu.

Seeing that it was Li Xiu, Wan Chaoxin said something to the person next to him, seemingly asking the person to continue queuing, and he actually walked over.

"General Li, we meet again." Wan Chaoxin came to Li Xiu and his attitude seemed much friendlier.

"It's better not to meet. I don't want to be shot by arrows at any time." Li Xiu said lightly.

"Director Li, you are joking. I didn't know your identity before. I apologize for any offense..." Wan Chaoxin said as he took two steps closer and lowered his voice, "Director Li, you are in a great crisis right now. If you don't believe me, you can check the accounts of the Magic Suit Group. There must be some clues. If you need help, you can come to Wan Chao's house to find me at any time."

After saying that, Wan Chaoxin took two steps back, resumed his normal voice, and said with a smile: "My line is already up, if you don't mind, how about we go in together?"

Li Xiu looked at Mo Liu and Sun Gang, and seeing that they had no intention of objecting, he nodded and said, "Thank you very much."

Li Xiu and the other two followed Wan Chaoxin back to his seat, and soon it was their turn.

There were many people in front who had presented gifts and wanted to sign their names, and they could only wait outside for the servants to bring out the names of the people.

When it was Wan Chaoxin's turn, the butler actually invited Wan Chaoxin and his companions in directly, which shows that Wan Chaoxin still has some status in Changsheng City.

"Today is different from the past. The Wanchao family is indeed different now." Sun Gang said.

As soon as Wan Chaochun came back, the Wan Chao family immediately gained prestige. Although Wan Chaoxin was a top figure among the younger generation, his status was still not high enough to be invited into the mansion by the Taoist priest to have fortune-telling.

Now that he was able to enter the palace to have his fortune told, the Heavenly Master undoubtedly said this out of respect for Wan Chaochun.

"The Wanchao family is no different from before. It's just because I came here on behalf of the Wanchao family that I get some treatment." Wan Chaoxin said lightly.

"We are all thanks to Brother Wan Chao, otherwise we would not be able to enter the Tianshi Mansion. We are very grateful." Mo Liu hurried out to smooth things over.

Wan Chaoxin didn't seem to take Sun Gang's words to heart. After entering Tianfu Courtyard, they followed the housekeeper's instructions and came to the reception room.

"Please wait here. The Eighth Master is fortune-telling with someone in the Orchid Hall. He will come to the Bamboo Hall after he finishes." The butler had someone pour them tea and then said goodbye and left.

"I wonder what General Li wants to test here?" Wan Chaoxin asked Li Xiu.

"Nothing, just came to take a look." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Wan Chaoxin looked at Li Xiu in surprise for a while and said, "Chief Li has just established a new group, and he doesn't want to know the ups and downs of his fortunes?"

Because they were in Tianshi Temple, Wan Chaoxin had already spoken very subtly.

What he really meant was that for someone like Li Xiu, who had just become the chief and had not yet established a firm foothold in Changshengtian, if even one word related to him was found when he was measuring the secrets of the heavens, not only would his position as chief be in danger, but his life might also be in danger.

"Fate is determined by heaven. Whether you know it or not, the result will be the same. Why bother yourself with troubles?" Li Xiu said.

"Director Li, that's not the way it should be. As the saying goes, man can conquer nature. Some things will only be fruitful after one's own efforts." Wan Chaoxin paused and said, "If you don't have anything convenient, I have something here that can be used as a fortune-telling gift. As an apology for the previous misunderstandings, I'll give it to Director Li."

Wan Chaoxin said this and took out a box and placed it in front of Li Xiu.

Li Xiu looked at Wan Chaoxin in surprise. Wan Chaoxin's face-changing skill was too strong. He wanted to beat and kill him before, but now he was giving him gifts.

Seeing that Li Xiu had no intention of taking the wooden box, Wan Chaoxin opened the wooden box himself. Suddenly, a bright light shone inside, revealing a dazzling necklace.

The necklace is inlaid with diamonds, which sparkle brightly under the light and look extremely luxurious.

But the highlight of this necklace is not the diamonds, but the large emeralds inlaid on it.

Each of the emeralds above is larger than a quail egg and the colors are of superb quality.

"Is this... the Delhi Durbar Necklace?" Mo Liu was shocked when he saw the necklace.

"Yes, this necklace is the authentic one from Delhi Durbar, not a replica," said Wan Chaoxin.

After hearing what Wan Chaoxin said, Sun Gang couldn't help but look at him twice more.

The origin of this necklace is extraordinary, even Li Xiu has heard of it.

This necklace also belonged to the ancient royal family that owned the Cullinan Diamond. Legend has it that the emeralds on it were won by the Queen's great-grandmother in a bet.

After my great-grandmother passed away, her son inherited the emeralds and gave them to his mistresses.

The Queen's grandmother, Queen Mary, spent money to buy back the emeralds from the mistresses and made them into this necklace.

Although there are many diamonds on the necklace, the real protagonists are these emeralds, and the diamonds are just supporting roles and embellishments.

It is worth mentioning that the diamond pendant used as an embellishment is the legendary Cullinan VII.

Even the Cullinan diamond can only serve as an embellishment, which shows how luxurious this Delhi Durbar necklace is.

If this is indeed the Delhi Durbar necklace, its value is immeasurable.

In particular, the Cullinan diamond used as an embellishment is likely to be a magic gem, and it may be of brilliant quality.

Li Xiu already had a demon spirit transformed from the Cullinan diamond in his hand, and he was very interested in this necklace.

After just one glance, Li Xiu was sure that the diamond on the pendant was most likely Cullinan VII, because he was already feeling hungry.

On the contrary, Li Xiu didn't feel anything about those huge emeralds. They were just ordinary gems without any extra value.

Mo Liu and Sun Gang's eyes also fell on the Cullinan VII.

It is no secret that someone in Changshengtian used the Cullinan Diamond to contract a Radiant Demon Spirit. Many people have ideas about the diamonds in the Cullinan.

Wan Chaoxin actually took out such a thing and gave it to Li Xiu. This gift was indeed very valuable.

"Since you are so sincere, I will accept it." Li Xiu was not polite at all and directly took the box and the necklace.

Wan Chaoxin shot him three arrows in succession, and Li Xiu felt that he deserved some compensation.

As for the super spiritual gem that Li Xiu had snatched, Li Xiu believed that things without an owner would naturally be obtained by those who were capable. It was not given to him by Wan Chaoxin, so it certainly could not be blamed on Wan Chaoxin.

Wan Chaoxin did not stop him, but just watched with a smile.

The six groups of longevity are all under the control of the four major families. Li Xiu, the head of the seventh group, is considered an outlier.

Wan Chaoxin wants to become the leader of the Seeking Truth Group through the challenge. Even if he succeeds, it will be difficult for him to get along well with other groups in the future. However, he may be able to cooperate with Li Xiu's technician group.

Moreover, Li Xiu may have a relationship with the Li family. If Li Xiu can be pulled into his camp, it will be beneficial to the Wan Chao family. This is why Wan Chaoxin is willing to spend a lot of money.

Of course, it’s just a Cullinan VII, not the previous ones. Even if a Radiant Enchantress appears, Wan Chaoxin doesn’t care too much.

"Power is a really good thing. I just became the chief, and my former enemies started giving me such expensive gifts." Li Xiu sighed in his heart.
