He brought the Furnace Guardian back to Yard No. 7, summoned the injured Jedi Knights and Dragon Spirits first, and checked their injuries.
The Jedi Knight's injuries were serious, but not fatal. It should not be difficult to recover as long as he has the resources.
The Dragon Vein Spirit had many wounds on its body, but the injuries caused by the big bird were only minor and not too serious, so it should be easy to recover.
The more serious one was the wound caused by Jing Li. The injury was quite serious. If he wanted to recover completely, he would probably need a lot of resources.
Moreover, Li Xiu didn’t know what kind of gem the Dragon Vein Spirit needed to match its properties, which was a bit troublesome.
Because he didn't have the corresponding gems and didn't have many resources on him, Li Xiu could only take them back first, wait until he got the resources, then exchange them for the gems they needed and then treat their injuries.
Putting the Furnace Guardian aside, Li Xiu took out the things he had picked up from the bird's nest before, gave the golden bracelet and collar to Sha Chu, and asked Sha Chu to exchange them for some resources first.
It is impossible for Jing Li to act recklessly in Changsheng City, and his target is Li Xiu, which has nothing to do with Sha Chu.
After Sha Chu left, Li Xiu took out the black jade short tube and studied it in his hand.
After studying it for a while, I still couldn't figure out what it was.
"Could it be a telescope?" Li Xiu put his eyes close to the black crystals at both ends and looked at them in the sunlight, but it was pitch black and he could not see anything. It was completely light-proof.
"I took such a big risk and destroyed the Demonic Pupil Magic Armor, but in the end I got this thing that I don't know what it is. I really lost a lot this time." Li Xiu continued his research without giving up.
I want to get a flashlight and see if I can shine the light in there, maybe I'll find something.
After searching for a while, he couldn't find a flashlight. Li Xiu was too lazy to buy one, so he directly released the light energy of the Forbidden Spear, shining it into the black crystal at one end.
The fluorescent white light did shine in, but only a little bit, and then disappeared. It did not penetrate out from the other end, and nothing could be seen inside.
However, from the tip of the black crystal that was illuminated, it can be seen that the black crystal itself should still be very clean and transparent. It’s just that for some reason, after the light shines in, it disappears not far away.
"Is the light not strong enough?" Li Xiu's mind moved, and he replaced the light energy of the Forbidden Spear with his own Ultimate Light. The transparent light shone directly on the black crystal at one end.
Li Xiu was pleasantly surprised to find that the black crystals at both ends of the short tube lit up and became transparent, while the outer black jade-like tube was still not translucent at all.
Li Xiu put his eyes closer and looked inside, trying to see if the short tube was hollow and whether there was something inside.
"Is this a kaleidoscope?" Under the illumination of the ultimate light, Li Xiu discovered that it was not hollow inside, but a whole crystal. The strange thing was that when looking from the crystal side, there were many changing colors inside, which was somewhat similar to a kaleidoscope, but more complicated.
But Li Xiu remembered that the principle of the kaleidoscope should be the mutual refraction of equilateral triangle mirrors. There is no triangular mirror inside this cylinder, it is just a whole cylindrical crystal. How can there be so many color changes?
Li Xiu turned the short tube in a different direction and looked from the other end. He actually still saw many colors changing.
Those colors are like mosaics, constantly changing, and the more you look at them, the more they look like a more complex kaleidoscope.
"What on earth is this thing?" Li Xiu looked at the short barrel in deep thought.
After a moment, Li Xiu picked up the short tube again to study it, shone the Ultimate Light into it again, and then watched the colors inside change.
After watching for more than an hour, Li Xiu turned the short tube in another direction and looked at the changing colors inside from the other end.
The reason why it took so long was because Li Xiu discovered that the previous color changes were not repeated. It was not until more than an hour later that the color changes began to repeat, and they were exactly the same as the previous color changes.
Inside this kaleidoscope-like thing, there must be thousands of mosaic-sized blocks of color. Some of the colors inside are changing, while some remain unchanged, and there are changes almost every second.
If it were a normal human being, it would be impossible to remember the changes in colors. Not to mention remembering, the eyes would probably be blurry after looking at it for a while.
However, Li Xiu managed to memorize all the changes in the color blocks and discovered the pattern of their repeated changes.
Looking from the other end, it is clearly the same crystal. Looking from this end, the number and distribution of color blocks are the same, but the colors are different.
Li Xiu watched for more than an hour before putting the short tube down.
"The number and arrangement of the color blocks are the same, and the number of times the color blocks change colors is also the same. The difference is that the colors of the color blocks are slightly different..." Li Xiu closed his eyes, and countless color block pictures emerged in his mind.
There was a faint white light shining through his brows, which was a sign that his spiritual consciousness had crossed the line.
Countless color block pictures emerged in his mind, divided into two rows, one row was the color block pictures viewed from one end, and the other row was the color block pictures viewed from the other end.
Every time the color block changes, a new color block picture is generated. The two rows of color block pictures are arranged, and the number from the first to the last is exactly the same.
Suddenly, Li Xiu seemed to have discovered something. He overlapped the corresponding color blocks and immediately made an astonishing discovery.
"Magic text..." Li Xiu was surprised to find that when the corresponding color blocks at both ends were overlapped, the same colors overlapped together to form a complete magic text.
This is because Li Xiu recognizes the magic runes. If he doesn’t, he won’t be able to tell anything even if they are overlapped.
Li Xiu's mind moved, and all the color blocks in his mind overlapped in pairs. On each overlapping color block, a different number of Demonic characters appeared. There were as many as ten or as few as two or three, all of which were Demonic characters.
However, when Li Xiu tried to connect the text on the first color block picture with the text on the following color block pictures in order, it seemed to have no meaning. It was even difficult to read, as if it was just made up at random and not a meaningful piece of text.
Li Xiu frowned slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He changed his train of thought and read backwards from the text on the last picture.
It all made sense at once, this is basically an article written backwards, it can only be understood if you read it from back to front.
"What secret?" Li Xiu helplessly discovered that he didn't recognize two of the first three words.
He skipped the unfamiliar characters and continued to study the text below. There were many Demonic characters that Li Xiu did not recognize. At least one quarter of the characters were rare characters that he had never seen before. There were also some characters that he had seen before but had not yet figured out the exact meaning.
However, from the recognizable words, Li Xiu could roughly guess what the article was.
The more Li Xiu read, the more shocked he became. This text from the Demonic Country recorded something that was actually a method of training and condensing light.
Because some of the characters were incomprehensible, Li Xiu's speculation and conjecture could roughly deduce an outline.
It talks about how to use light energy to transform the body and make it stronger.
It sounds like the enhancements in the trial field are similar, but they are not the same.
From a description that Li Xiu could understand, if this transformation could be achieved, the body could even generate enough energy to sustain life, just like solar power.
Because there were too many words that he couldn't understand, Li Xiu had no way of confirming whether this method was true or false, nor did he know whether this thing was reasonable or not. Anyway, that's what it said on it.
However, Li Xiu felt that this thing was a bit far-fetched, because for the part he could understand, there was a prerequisite that humans probably had no way of achieving.
This condition is the foundation of the entire practice. Although it is not explicitly written out, this condition is necessary.
The body must be able to directly absorb light energy in order to use this exercise method.
The human body is not a solar panel, so how can it absorb light energy directly?
"It seems that even if this thing is real, it is used by creatures from the Demon Kingdom and humans cannot use it at all." Li Xiu muttered to himself.
"No... maybe I can really use this thing..." Li Xiu thought of the super spiritual skill of sucking from the bottle.
The bottle suction can absorb the light energy of other organisms for its own use. If the bottle suction is combined with this thing, it may be able to be transformed into an exercise method that can be used by humans.
"It's a pity that there are too many characters in it that I don't recognize. If I want to know whether it can be used, I have to understand all these characters first." Li Xiu pondered secretly: "There should be relevant research on the magic country's characters in Changshengtian, but I don't know where it is."
Li Xiu put away the short tube and was about to go out to find someone to ask where the magic language was being studied. However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Li Qingyi preparing to knock on the door.
Fortunately, Li Qingyi reacted quickly enough, otherwise her finger would have hit Li Xiu's forehead.
"What are you doing? Do you want to beat me up as soon as you come to my house?" Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Shouldn't you fight?" Li Qingyi didn't wait for Li Xiu to invite her in. She walked into the yard and sat down on the jade stool in the yard, motioning Li Xiu to close the door.
Li Xiu had no choice but to close the door and sit down opposite Li Qingyi.
"Why should I fight?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"Didn't I tell you to be careful recently? Why did you go to the Trial Gate again?" Li Qingyi asked.
"Sister, I need to live, eat, wear clothes, and feed the demons. All these require money. Where will I get the money if I don't go to the trial land?" Li Xiu said, spreading his hands.
"You are now the chief, and you can receive some resources every month, which are enough for your daily use. Can't you wait and talk about feeding the demons and the like?" Li Qingyi paused, and then continued: "Also, when you became the chief, you received a batch of chief's benefits, which should be enough for you to use for a while. Do you have to go to the trial ground now?"
"General manager's benefits? What general manager's benefits?" Li Xiu had only been the general manager for a few days and he wasn't supposed to receive the monthly resources yet. Li Xiu knew this, but he had never heard of the general manager's benefits.
"Didn't you receive the general manager's benefits?" Li Qingyi was slightly startled, then seemed to have figured it out and said, "That's no wonder. These matters are under the jurisdiction of Vice President Bai. It's normal that he didn't notify you to collect them."
"That fat guy wants to steal my money again. We can't let him get away with it. I'll go to him for it later. What are the benefits for the general manager?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"Generally speaking, it is a super spirit magic core and a super spirit gem, as well as some ordinary magic cores and gems. These are the benefits of becoming a chief. However, there are also chiefs who are willing to use these resources to exchange for magic rings or contracts, one of the two. The dragon-slaying dagger that Han Mingshou used before was exchanged for the chief's benefits." Li Qingyi said.
"Why didn't you tell me such a good thing earlier?" Li Xiu immediately became excited.
He was worried that he didn't have the resources to heal the wounds of the Jedi Knights and Dragon Spirits. With such a batch of resources, all problems would be solved.
"Don't worry about this matter. If you go by yourself, Vice President Bai may not give it to you immediately. I'm afraid he will have all kinds of excuses waiting for you. I will go with you later." Li Qingyi paused and said, "I heard that you and Jing Li had a fight, and the winner is still undecided?"
"In fact, Jing Li is better. My magic suit has been damaged and I have no strength to fight anymore, but he can still continue fighting." What Li Xiu said is true.
Li Qingyi nodded and said, "It's similar to what I guessed, but you were able to use the magic suit to fight Jing Li and survive, which is rare. Jing Li is very strong, and his symbiotic contract is terrifyingly strong. It is a very rare symbiotic contract that can reach the upper limit of 100% super spirit. At this stage of super spirit, he is the well-deserved number one. Even I am not sure that I can block his sword."
Li Qingyi said this not to improve herself, but because she was good at defense. If even she couldn't stop it, it would be even more difficult to stop other super spirit trial participants who were not good at defense.
"No wonder he is so strong, it turns out he is 100% super spiritual." Li Xiu nodded.
"If the four major families had not united to suppress him, he would no longer be just a super spirit. That person is really scary. You should not leave Changsheng City for the time being, so as not to give him another chance." Li Qingyi said.
"I can't stay in Changsheng City for my whole life, right?" Li Xiu said.
"I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Ba. Why don't you ask Mr. Ba to be a peacemaker and resolve the grudge between you and the head of our Li family? Then the trouble will naturally go away." Li Qingyi said.
"You are also a member of the Li family, and you are so close to me. Aren't you afraid that your family will say you are a traitor?" Li Xiu said with a smile looking at Li Qingyi. He was not surprised that Li Qingyi knew about the Eighth Master. Li Qingyi had been close to Mo Liu and the others before, so it was not surprising that he knew about this matter.
"I am me and the Li family is the Li family. We cannot be confused with each other." Li Qingyi shook his head.
"That's good, otherwise I would be in a bit of trouble." Li Xiu said calmly.
"Aren't you going to reconcile?" Li Qingyi saw what Li Xiu was thinking.
"If someone wants to beat me or kill me, and then asks me to go and ask for reconciliation, I can't do that," Li Xiu said calmly.
"Then what are your plans? You're not going to leave Changsheng City for the rest of your life? How are you going to increase your level and become super spiritual? Without super spiritual, you'll just be a chief magic armor master your whole life, and you'll never be able to compete with the truly strong ones." Li Qingyi sighed.
"Why can't a magic armor master compete with the real strong ones?" Li Xiu disagreed.
"You said it yourself, your magic suit is broken, but Jing Li still has the strength to fight again. How many sets of magic suits can you carry with you? Jing Li is only strong at the super spiritual stage. What if you meet a trial-taker who is stronger than him?" Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu and said slowly.
"Are there any stronger trial-takers?" Li Xiu asked.
"To put it bluntly, the Super Soul is still S-level. The Super Soul is the prerequisite for the S-level to the next level. Only when the power of the Super Soul reaches a certain level, there is a chance to truly surpass the S-level. I asked you to accompany me to Tianmen just to surpass the S-level." Li Qingyi advised: "Jing Li is someone who can surpass the S-level at any time. What he lacks is just an opportunity. There is no benefit in fighting with such a person."
"It's not that I want to fight, but I have to. If I retreat now, I will have to retreat again and again. I don't have eyes behind me and I'm not used to walking backwards, so I won't retreat." Li Xiu said.
"Then you have to be mentally prepared. Jing Li in front of you is the hurdle you must cross. How do you plan to cross it?" Li Qingyi stared at Li Xiu and asked.
"I have already got a new set of magic clothes from the research institute. The next time I meet him, the problem will be solved naturally." Li Xiu said with a smile.
Li Qingyi was angry: "I have been talking for so long, but you didn't listen to a word I said? Unless the Magic Equipment Research Institute makes a stronger magic equipment, the magic equipment masters at this stage can never be the opponent of Jing Li. It is not easy for you to fight with Jing Li and come back alive. If there is a second time, Jing Li will definitely not give you a chance to live. Why gamble with your life? Taking a step back will open up a new world. A real man should be able to bend and stretch..."
Li Xiu listened to Li Qingyi quietly. Seeing Li Qingyi looking at him, he sighed and said, "I've been standing for too long. My legs are numb and I can't kneel down."
"I think you are just too upset." Li Qingyi chuckled, "Forget it, this is the Light City Lord Li Xiu that I know. Since you are not willing to take a step back, then don't leave the city for now. I will think of a solution later."
"Thank you." Li Xiu expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"No need to thank me. Just raise the Jedi Knight's super soul limit as soon as possible, and then accompany me to Tianmen." Li Qingyi said.
"The Jedi Knight is injured and the red spinel is used up. I need to get some red spinel first." Li Xiu said.
"So fast? What's the upper limit of a Jedi Knight's super soul?" Li Qingyi was a little surprised.
"Eighty-one percent." Li Xiu answered truthfully.
After listening to this, Li Qingyi pondered and said, "Don't run around. I will find a way to deal with the red spike crystal. Don't leave Changsheng City recently."
"Got it." Li Xiu responded, and then asked: "Do you know who in Changshengtian is studying magic runes?"
"There is a special Magic Script Academy in Changshengtian. Why are you asking this?" Li Qingyi asked puzzledly.
"I want to learn some magic runes." Li Xiu replied.
Li Qingyi looked at Li Xiu with a strange expression, but he didn't say anything. Li Xiu felt a little uncomfortable. Li Qingyi said, "I didn't realize that you had such a far-reaching plan. Have you already started preparing for the refining of light?"
