Chapter 219: What bad intentions can a decent man have?



"Who is the hostess of Good Luck Hill?" Although he knew there was no answer to this question, Li Xiu couldn't help but ask.

"I once used a word to predict her fortune. Although this word was not written by her for me to predict, I have seen that word and it is a magical word." said Mr. Ba.

"You mean, the hostess of Good Luck Hill might be the spiritual character in the divination?" Li Xiu understood what he meant.

“The president also had the same suspicion. So when he wanted to let the Chu family of Baiye City join the guild, he saw the word ‘spiritual’ written by the owner of Good Luck Hill. After that, he never let anyone go to the Chu family of Baiye City again.” said the Eighth Master.

"Just gave up like that? Not sending anyone to investigate?" Li Xiu felt a little unbelievable.

If the owner of Good Luck Hill is really related to the word "ling", shouldn't we investigate further? It is indeed unreasonable for the president to just give up like this.

"At first I thought the president might know the owner of Good Luck Hill, so he made that decision. So I didn't think about it at first, and just went to other places to look for people related to spirits. Later I thought about it and felt that it was not right. Maybe the president had been there a long time ago, and maybe he found something, or suffered a loss, so he made that decision. Later I went there too, and was trapped for decades." Master Ba smiled and said, "In short, Fourth Brother, you are now the head of the Magic Suit Group. Although it is a bit difficult for the time being, you will have great potential in the future."

"What about the accounts of the Magic Equipment Group?" Li Xiu asked again.

Jiu Xiaoyun and Wan Chaoxin both mentioned this issue. Li Xiu felt that there must be a problem here, but he didn't know to what extent the problem had progressed.

"Well, even though the entire Changshengtian belongs to the president, with so many eyes watching, it's difficult for the president to spend money. It's not easy for him to spend money himself, so there must be someone to spend money for him." Mr. Ba estimated.

"You mean, Vice President Bai is equivalent to the corrupt official Heshen in ancient times?" Li Xiu roughly understood what Mr. Ba meant.

"That's about right." Mr. Ba nodded and said, "I just came back not long ago, and there is no way to confirm some things now. Whether you are the general manager because of the president's intention or for some other reason, we can only study it slowly. But no matter what, you only have one way to go, dig the magic suit group out of the hands of the fat white guy, which is almost like cutting his flesh, but it is not that easy. If you are not careful, it will be a life-and-death situation in the end."

"Will the president be fired?" Li Xiu was not afraid of a strong opponent, but he was afraid that the referee would also be fired.

"At most they will take sides a little, but it won't really end up like that. Otherwise, they wouldn't have let you take over the Magic Equipment Group as the new chief. But they may also want to use you to check and balance the fat white guy. You have to try to move forward at this pace." Master Ba thought for a moment and said, "Fourth brother, you'd better be patient for a while. When the eldest sister comes out of the Heavenly Gate, someone will be able to support you. Then you can fight the fat white guy in a big way, and your chances of winning will be much higher."

"What is Sister Chun doing in Tianmen?" Li Xiu was slightly stunned.

Mr. Ba shook his head and said, "I don't know. We can't guess about people of her level. She must have her reasons for going to Tianmen. We can just wait for her to come back."

Li Xiu also talked to Mr. Ba about the current situation of Changshengtian, which made Li Xiu realize that it would definitely not be an easy task to really take back the magic equipment group.

If they want to take back the Magic Equipment Group, the first people they have to face are Vice President Bai and the Bai family. Although the Bai family is not one of the four major families, it has been in charge of the Magic Equipment Group and general affairs for so many years. It can be said that the Bai family is as wealthy as the four major families. It's just that because of insufficient foundation, the real top powerhouses of the Bai family cannot compare with the four major families.

What's even more frightening is that the Bai family has always been very close to the Li family because of the relationship with the president. The Li family has more than just one president. With the methods used by Vice President Bai, the Bai family and the Li family are now deeply tied together. If the Bai family wants to take a bite of the magic equipment group's cake, the Li family may not necessarily agree.

In addition, there are intricate ties between the Bai family and the other three major families and some small families. If one move affects the entire body, the resistance that Li Xiu will face when he takes back the magic equipment team will be very great.

Now, the easiest ally for Li Xiu to attract in Changshengtian is the Wanchao family.

It's not because Wan Chaochun is Li Xiu's sworn sister, but because the four major families have been suppressing the Wan Chao family over the years and preventing them from becoming the fifth family that can compete with the four major families. Therefore, the Wan Chao family and the four major families are originally in a hostile relationship. Otherwise, even if Wan Chaochun is Li Xiu's biological sister, it is impossible for her to fight against the four major families for Li Xiu alone.

"So, for the sake of the overall situation, there's no need to worry too much about small grudges." Mr. Ba was referring to the grudge between him and Wan Chaoxin.

"After all, I am a grandfather, so I naturally won't bother with a junior. If my grandson really doesn't obey me, I will just give him a slap." Li Xiu said calmly.

After leaving Mr. Ba, Li Xiu went straight back to his own Courtyard No. 7.

Before leaving, Mr. Ba told Li Xiu that when he went to participate in the celestial prediction the day after tomorrow, he should try to stand back and not get so close.

Li Xiu asked why, but Mr. Ba just smiled and didn't say why.

After returning to Courtyard No. 7, seeing that Sha Chu had returned, she placed a box of gems in front of Li Xiu: "These are the gems we exchanged for those things. With these, we don't have to worry about opening the trial gate in the next few months."

"There are only two days left before the test of the celestial secrets. You should get ready first. After the test, we will start the crazy trial mode. We hope to improve the quality of the embryo in the shortest time possible, and it would be best if we can raise it to S level." Li Xiu said to Sha Chu.

"I've just been promoted to C-level, and I'm still a long way from S-level. I'm afraid it'll be a bit difficult," Sha Chu said.

"As long as there are resources, everything will be easy. Just find a trial site where resources can be easily obtained." Li Xiu didn't think this was difficult.

His own promotion is a trouble. He has too many things to carry and there are problems every time he tries to advance. He needs special energy replenishment to advance. In comparison, Sha Chu's situation is much simpler. He only needs to keep entering the trial field to get attribute rewards in order to advance.

After returning to his room, Li Xiu took out the Delhi Durbar necklace and pried off the Cullinan VII on it.

The other diamonds and emeralds on the necklace could only be used as ordinary resources, so Li Xiu threw them into the box.

Cullinan VII weighs 8.8 carats. Although it is not large, it is difficult for ordinary people to see such a large diamond.

Li Xiu dripped blood directly on Cullinan VII. After a while, Cullinan VII melted and flowed towards Li Xiu's fingers.

Just when Li Xiu was looking forward to what kind of magic spirit Cullinan VII would turn into, he discovered that Cullinan VII actually flowed towards the magic spirit ring that Cullinan IX had transformed into before, and in the blink of an eye it merged with the magic spirit ring.

Sealed Devil: Can evolve into a demon spirit.

Grade: E.

Quality: Brilliant (incomplete).

Li Xiu quickly looked at the properties of the magic ring and found that it was exactly the same as before without any changes. He summoned it and took a look. This magic ring still looked like a diamond, but it was much larger in size. It was estimated that the size was the same as the size of No. 7 and No. 9 after they were merged.

“I have to find someone to ask what kind of evil spirits the other diamonds in Cullinan have turned into. This seems a bit strange.” Li Xiu pondered inwardly as he looked at the diamonds.

It would be most appropriate to ask Li Qingyi about this matter. Li Qingyi had said before that Cullinan One, Three and Four were all in Changshengtian, and all of them had Radiant Spirits. She should be very clear about this matter.

The problem is that communication devices such as mobile phones have no signal in Changshengtian. It is impossible to contact Li Qingyi with a mobile phone. Li Xiu also doesn't know where Li Qingyi lives. Where can he find Li Qingyi in such a big Changsheng City?

When Li Zhengxing was worrying about how to find Li Qingyi, what he wished for really came true. Li Qingyi and Bai Ying actually came to him on their own initiative.

"Li Xiu, when can you pay us back the wine you owe us?" Bai Ying said as soon as he came up.

Li Xiu didn't like Bai Ying in the first place, and now with the incident between the Magic Equipment Group and the Bai family, he felt even less interested in Bai Ying.

If it wasn't for Li Qingyi's sake, Li Xiu would have kicked her out directly.

"The wine is in the City of Light. If you want to drink, you have to wait until I return to the City of Light, right?" Li Xiu said, and then looked at Li Qingyi: "Miss Li, you came at the right time. I just want to ask you for help with something. Can I talk to you alone?"

"Is there anything shameful that you can't say in front of me?" Bai Ying frowned.

Li Xiu ignored her and just looked at Li Qingyi.

"Is it an urgent matter?" Li Qingyi asked.

"It's very important to me." Li Xiu replied.

"Okay then, Bai Ying, you wait here. I want to talk to Li Xiu." Li Qingyi turned and said to Bai Ying.

"Don't be fooled by him. Who knows what tricks he is up to?" Bai Ying said unhappily.

"You are right. I am targeting the beautiful Li, which means she is worthy and has the capital to be targeted. Unlike some people, I have no interest in them even if they come to my door." Li Xiu said casually.

"What did you say..." Bai Ying was furious.

"I said you can leave now, Shachu, please see you off." Li Xiu said lightly.

"Miss Bai, please come in." Sha Chu walked over and said.

Bai Ying wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Li Qingyi: "Stop talking, this is Courtyard No. 7, and Li Xiu is the chief."

"What's so great about being the commander-in-chief? He's just a commander without troops. Qingyi, let's go." Bai Ying pulled Li Qingyi and was about to leave.

"You go back first. I have something to say to Li Xiu. I will come to you later." Li Qingyi said to Bai Ying without moving.

"Don't be bewitched by him." Bai Ying said anxiously.

"I know what I'm doing. Go back first." Li Qingyi comforted Bai Ying and asked her to go back first.

"I'll wait for you outside. Call me if you need anything." Bai Ying then glared at Li Xiu fiercely, turned and left Yard No. 7.

"You should be more gentlemanly towards girls." Li Qingyi sighed and said after Bai Ying left.

"I've never been a gentleman." Li Xiu smiled, "Besides, she is not a simple girl."

"What do you want to say?" Li Qingyi frowned.

"Don't you think Bai Ying is deliberately blocking our contact?" Li Xiu said.

Li Qingyi shook her head and didn't say anything more about it. She asked, "What do you want to tell me alone?"

"When you gave me Cullinan IX, you said that Cullinan 1, 3 and 4 were all in Changshengtian, and that they had released Radiant Spirits. Can you tell me what types of spirits they released?" Li Xiu asked.

"Why do you suddenly ask this? Is there something wrong with the Cullinan 9 I gave you?" Li Qingyi asked puzzledly.

"There is indeed a problem. Look at this." Li Xiu summoned the sealed devil: "After Cullinan IX was contracted, it became like this. It still looks like a diamond. Although its quality is brilliant, it has no skills or other abilities. I don't know what use it has."

Li Qingyi looked at him in surprise for a while, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "The demons transformed by No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 in the warehouse are all humanoid demons. This kind of situation has never happened before. This is a bit strange."

"What kind of humanoid demons are they? Would you mind telling me their appearance and names?" Li Xiu asked.

"It's not inconvenient at all. In fact, if you participate in the initiation ceremony normally, you should be able to see the demon spirit transformed by Cullinan No. 1." Li Qingyi said with a smile.

"You mean, Cullinan I is in the hands of the president?" Li Xiu immediately understood.

"Yes, the demon spirit that Cullinan No. 1 transformed into is called the Eternal King. In the past few decades, the one who blessed the new members at every initiation ceremony was the Eternal King. He has been a super spirit for many years, his strength is terrifying, and he possesses a high level of wisdom. He is one of the most powerful demon spirits in Changshengtian."

Li Qingyi paused and continued, "The demon spirits transformed by No. 3 and No. 4 are the Eternal Prince and the Eternal Princess respectively. They are also in human form and have also been super spiritual for many years. Their super spiritual limits are very high."

Li Xiu frowned and said, "This is strange. Why are those three Cullinans all transformed into humanoid demons, while mine has become something like this?"

"Gem spirits are somewhat different from ring spirits, and they are ever-changing and hard to describe. I have seen two gems split from the same piece of raw stone, one of which was a spirit gem, and the other was just an ordinary gem. It is not surprising that the spirits produced by Cullinan 9 are somewhat different." Li Qingyi said.

"That's true. It's really hard to explain things like gems." Li Xiu nodded.

"Is there anything else?" Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu and asked.

"There's nothing else." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"It's just a small matter, why do you have to chase Bai Ying away? Are you doing this on purpose?" Li Qingyi rolled his eyes at him.

"What do you think?" Li Xiu asked back with a smile.

"She is the daughter of Vice President Bai and the granddaughter of the former Vice President Bai and the current Second Elder. Vice President Bai has no son, so she is very likely to be the heir of the Bai family this generation. It's not good for you to be so awkward with her." Li Qingyi sighed.

"What? Even you, the chairman's daughter, are you afraid of the Bai family?" Li Xiu said with narrowed eyes.

"It's not that I'm afraid, I just don't want to cause too much trouble." Li Qingyi thought for a moment and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, I do have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu asked in surprise. As the daughter of the president of Changshengtian, is there anything in Changshengtian that she can't handle and needs help from others?

"After measuring the celestial secrets, I will go to Tianmen. Can you go with me and do me a favor?" Li Qingyi asked Li Xiu with his eyes fixed.

"What are you going to Tianmen for?" Li Xiu asked with a frown.

He had heard from Lao Dao that the Tianmen was extremely dangerous and even a super-spiritual trial-taker might not be able to escape unscathed.

"There is a road that I must take. I may need the help of your Jedi Knights at that time." Li Qingyi pondered and said, "Have your Jedi Knights reached the ultimate limit of the super limit?"

"It's too early. I haven't been in super spiritual mode for long. The upper limit of super spirituality is less than 10%." Li Xiu replied.

"It's almost as I guessed. With less than 10% of the super limit, it can actually block the golden phoenix arrow. Such destructive power is indeed strong, which is exactly what I need. I know it's risky for you to go to Tianmen, but don't worry, I will try my best to ensure your safety. And if you are willing to go, I can give you enough resources to make your Jedi Knight super soul limit reach its peak in a short time."

Li Qingyi's condition left Li Xiu no reason to refuse, so he smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem, I agree."

"That's good. What type of gems or magic cores does your Jedi Knight need?" Li Qingyi nodded and asked.

"Red spinel, preferably Jedi grade red spinel." Li Xiu said.

"When I heard the name Jedi Knight, my first thought was also Jedi Knight Spinel. In a few days, I will give you enough Jedi Knight Spinel to make its super soul upper limit reach the limit as soon as possible. After that, accompany me to Tianmen." Li Qingyi stood up and smiled, "I should go now, otherwise Bai Ying will be worried outside."

"Let her worry about it." Li Xiu said indifferently.

"Isn't that exactly what you want?" Li Qingyi rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm a decent man, how could I have any bad intentions? At most, I just want to be alone with a beautiful woman for a while." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Don't you spend time alone with beautiful women every day?" Li Qingyi glanced at Sha Chu in the yard outside and walked out directly.

Li Xiu was slightly stunned. When he wanted to say something, Li Qingyi had already walked out of the yard. Sha Chu came up to her and sent Li Qingyi out of Yard No. 7.

"Lao Dao doesn't want to go to Tianmen, but Li Qingyi and Wan Chaochun both want to go there. What kind of place is Tianmen and what kind of magic does it have?" Li Xiu thought to himself, "Since Wan Chaochun and Lao Dao are already in Tianmen, it shouldn't be a problem for me to follow Li Qingyi to Tianmen, right?"

After all, Li Xiu was still greedy for Li Qingyi's resources. He went to kill the demons by himself. He didn't know when he would be able to gather enough resources to maximize the Jedi Knight's super spirit limit.
