"If it were so easy to use these gems, there wouldn't be any gems in the pig farm. I'm afraid it would be crowded with people every day." Li Xiu said as he looked around.
This cave is a big tube with almost the same diameter at the top and bottom. It is surrounded by natural jade-like stone walls and there is no door or stone cave leading to other places.
"How can we take these gems away?" Jiuxiaoyun asked while treating his wounds.
“You can’t take it away, and you can’t touch it. You can only choose gems that match your attributes and absorb the light energy emitted from them.” Li Xiu repeated the method that Lao Dao told him.
"What's the difference between this and guarding a reservoir but waiting for water to drip from the pipe drop by drop to drink?" Jiu Xiaoyun became very depressed after hearing what Li Xiu said.
The method Li Xiu mentioned is not impossible, but for a trial-taker of Jiuxiaoyun's level, the benefits brought by that little bit of gem light energy are too little for him. It would be better for him to participate in the trial directly.
"Just make do with it. We can't go out now, and we don't know where else we can improve the quality of the embryo. We can only come here slowly. Although the light energy emitted by the gems here is small, it can at least improve the quality of the embryo. If you think it's too slow, you can also study it. Maybe you can directly absorb the light energy in the gems." Li Xiu said.
"How can a gem with extremely unstable light energy directly absorb the light energy inside the gem? Not to mention us, even the demons can't eat these things. It's the same as drinking alcohol. A small drink can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis and is good for the body, but no one can resist pouring tons of it into the stomach." Jiuxiaoyun said depressedly.
After observing for a while, Jing Li said, "These gems look very similar to the gems on our Earth, but they are actually a little different. They are probably not real Earth gems."
"No matter what it is, this little bit of overflowing light energy enhancement is useful for low-level trial-takers like you, but it is of no use to high-level trial-takers like me. I won't accompany you. I'll go somewhere else to have a look." Jiuxiaoyun said as he summoned the Demon Shark, rode the Demon Shark directly up the stone wall, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiu looked at Jing Li and said, "You don't have to worry about us. Lao Dao said that not many people know about this place, and the demons won't come here. If you want to go somewhere, just go."
"Okay, this place is really only suitable for raising pigs." Jing Li said as he jumped up, walked directly along the mountain wall, and soon left here.
"What do you mean? If you don't like it, then don't like it. Is there any need to say it so directly? Who are you scolding?" Li Xiu felt depressed.
"I think it's pretty good here. It's a bit slow, but it's better than going to other places for adventure." Sha Chu said as he sat down next to a gem.
In fact, even if Shachu didn't sit next to the gem, his body would still be exposed to the light energy and would be slowly transformed.
Gems on Earth generally do not emit light by themselves, they basically reflect light sources. Only some gems containing radioactive substances will emit light.
The gems here all emit light by themselves, which is actually similar to the principle of radiation. The only difference is that the radiation from these gems will not have a bad effect on the human body. Instead, it will strengthen the body in a positive direction.
In real life, if you find a glowing gem, it is best to stay away from it and never touch it.
There are dozens of gems in the pig farm, the largest of which is almost as big as a brick, and the smallest is the size of a marble. If they were placed on Earth, any one of them could be sold at a sky-high price.
It’s a pity that these gems cannot even be touched, let alone taken out.
In fact, Li Xiu didn't think much of the light energy overflowing from these gems. Just like Jiu Xiaoyun said, basking in the gem light here to strengthen the body was not as fast as participating in the trial to improve.
The reason why Li Xiu was willing to come was, firstly, because there was no other more suitable place, and secondly, because he wanted to study these gems, perhaps he could find a way to stably absorb the light energy within the gems.
Li Xiu came to the smallest gem, which was a Fanta gem the size of a marble.
Fanta gem is a kind of garnet. Different from ordinary red garnet, Fanta stone is a hot bright orange, which is very similar to the color of Fanta soda.
Garnet itself is very cheap. Fantastone is much more expensive than garnet, but it is naturally much cheaper than ruby and the like.
This Fanta stone looks no different from the Fanta stones on Earth. The appearance and texture are the same, but this thing can glow by itself, and you can clearly feel the light energy fluctuations, which is a characteristic that Earth's gems do not have.
After looking at it for a while, Li Xiu stretched out his hand close to the Fanta Stone, and secretly used the super spiritual skill of sucking from the bottle.
Lines of light appeared on his palm, and the light energy in the Fanta Stone seemed to be attracted and rushed towards Li Xiu's palm.
However, the light energy absorbed through the air was not enough to be consumed by the light in the bottle. Li Xiu could only move his palm closer to the Fanta Stone, and finally put it directly on the Fanta Stone.
The unstable light energy in the Fanta Stone suddenly gushed out in large quantities. Li Xiu used the Hand of God to decompose and organize the light energy, and absorbed it into his body through the bottle. He also used the light planting method to plant the light energy at the intersection of the light veins, and then let it flow out along the light veins.
Li Xiu did this not to condense the light veins, but to use the light veins as transmission belts, using the light veins to transmit light energy to the whole body, strengthening himself and obtaining higher embryo quality.
If the energy does not stay and condense in the light vein, it will not actually condense into a light vein, it will just open up the channel.
Li Xiu discovered that light energy would be very slow when it was first transmitted along the path of the optical vein diagram, but once it was transmitted once, the next transmission would be much faster.
Light veins are like silted river channels. Every time light passes through, it is equivalent to clearing the river channel, so the next time it passes through, it will be much smoother.
Snap!
Not long after, the Fanta gem under his finger shattered and no longer glowed, obviously the light energy inside had been consumed.
"What happened?" Sha Chu looked at Li Xiu and asked in surprise after discovering the broken Fanta stone.
"I have a way to directly absorb the light energy in these gems, but this method can only be used by me and requires special skills." Li Xiu explained casually.
"What are you explaining to me?" Sha Chu said with blinking eyes.
"Nothing." Li Xiu was not in the mood to chat with Sha Chu right now. He had to solve some problems quickly.
Although this method can absorb the light energy within these gems, the consumption in the intermediate links is too great.
The light energy consumed by the bottle was more than what he absorbed, and most of it was wasted.
Li Xiu went to another gem and started absorbing light energy again to strengthen his body.
Li Xiu tried to control the suction in the bottle as much as possible. He did not need such a violent absorption method. If he could control the suction in the bottle freely and weaken the suction force, he could also reduce consumption and it would be easier for Li Xiu to control the absorbed light energy.
However, skills are fixed and cannot be controlled at will like the skills that Li Xiu possesses. If he wants to control the skills freely, he must first crack the skill of sucking from the bottle and modify it.
In fact, this is what Li Xiu has always wanted to do. Turning skills into techniques is a crucial step.
Techniques can be used at any time, but skills cannot.
There wasn’t enough light for Li Xiu to experiment before, but this pig farm is suitable for Li Xiu to study these.
Li Xiu continued to experiment and research, and before long, the quality of his embryos had reached the maximum value. Unexpectedly, this time he was successfully promoted to Grade B, and there were no more barriers like before.
"It seems that these gems have something in common with the Earth gems." Li Xiu was overjoyed. He took a look at his attributes. In addition to the improvement of the quality of the embryo, his innate skills had also changed.
The suffixes of the Ultimate Light and Evil Spirit cards have changed a bit, but no new skills have appeared.
The Forbidden Spear has a new skill, called the Seven Forbidden Things: Unwillingness.
Li Xiu didn't have time to study the problems with these skills now, and continued to absorb the light energy of the gems to study the absorption in the bottle.
The light energy contained in the gems in the pig farm is indeed very strong, but it is unstable. Li Xiu continuously absorbs the light energy to strengthen himself. The light veins in his body have been cleared several times by him, and his level has been successfully upgraded to A-level.
There were only a few gems left in the pig farm. Except for leaving one for Sha Chu, Li Xiu absorbed all the others. He still couldn't really control the absorption in the bottle, and the quality of the embryo was still some distance away from S-level.
"Lao Dao said that new gems will be dropped every few days. Let's wait for a while." Li Xiu had nowhere else to go, so he just sat here and waited.
Seeing that Sha Chu didn't make any movement, Li Xiu had an idea and said to Sha Chu, "Since you are free anyway, I will help you light the lamp and build your foundation first."
"Okay." Sha Chu had never taken the initiative to ask Li Xiu to light the lamp. Now that Li Xiu took the initiative to offer it, she didn't say anything and chose to accept it silently.
Li Xiu first explained "Zi Bu Yu Guai Li Luan Shen Jue" to Sha Chu. Now "Zi Bu Yu Guai Li Luan Shen Jue" is the meridian condensing method that best matches the Zhong Guang Method, and it can also be regarded as the most advanced meridian condensing method.
Li Xiu was not stingy with the method of Condensing Light, but he was a little worried that in the future, as more and more people practiced "Zi Bu Yu Guai Li Luan Shen Jue", their results would be exactly the same, which would make the method of Condensing Meridians become monotonous.
There are only two or three people practicing now, so there is no need to worry too much about this problem. Moreover, Li Xiu has a vague feeling that although they are all practicing "Zi Bu Yu Gui Li Luan Shen Jue", the practices of Lao Dao and Jing Li seem to be a little different.
Sha Chu was an extremely smart person, and he quickly memorized the key points of "Zi Bu Yu Gui Li Luan Shen Jue" and what Li Xiu said.
"Okay, now I will start to light the lamp and build the foundation for you. You don't need to be nervous, just do as I say, there shouldn't be any accidents." Li Xiu stretched out a finger and pressed it on Sha Chu's brow. The ultimate light was activated, turning into strands of light and transmitted into Sha Chu's body.
This time, lighting the lamp was much easier than before, probably because he was promoted to A-level and the Ultimate Light became much stronger. It only took a moment to light up the light seed in Sha Chu's body.
Li Xiu just felt a little tired, not as exhausted as before.
Sha Chu began to practice "Zi Bu Yu Guai Li Luan Shen Jue". She did not have the level and high-level symbiotic contract assistance of Jing Li and Lao Dao, so her practice would be much slower. It would take a lot of time to condense the first light vein, and it also required the assistance of resources. It would not be accomplished in a short time.
Li Zheng was observing Sha Chu's practice when he suddenly saw a flash of light. He looked up and saw colorful spots of light falling from above. It should be the time for the gem placement as Lao Dao mentioned.
Sure enough, after a while, the colorful spots of light gradually became larger and slowly fell to the ground, turning into gems.
Li Xiu looked at those gems and couldn't help but feel confused.
These gems were obviously thrown down from the cave entrance, but who could have thrown the gems down from the cave entrance?
There are only ruins above, and no living creatures have been found. How could someone throw gems down from above, and why would they throw the gems here?
Lao Dao said that when they discovered this place before, they had investigated it and did not find any living creatures nearby. Every time, those gems seemed to appear out of thin air or be scattered out of thin air.
Moreover, Li Xiu discovered that the gems that appeared this time, no matter their size, shape, and type, were exactly the same as the gems he absorbed last time.
The gem that was left for Shachu last time disappeared out of thin air before the new gems were scattered.
"It's really a strange place." Li Xiu couldn't figure it out, so he just ignored it for the time being and continued to study his own absorption method.
With the absorption method, Li Xiu found a shortcut to upgrade. With the accumulation of a large amount of gem light energy, Li Xiu successfully advanced to the S level.
Li Xiu: Trialist.
Grade: S.
Quality: Aurora.
Original embryo quality:32.
Innate skills: Ultimate Light (one hundred percent), Twins in One (evil spirit transformation), Seven Taboos of Not Killing, Seven Taboos of Immortality, Seven Taboos of Unlucky, Seven Taboos of Unwillingness, Seven Taboos of Not Sacrificing, Seven Taboos of Not Asking.
Symbiotic Contract: Evil Spirit Card, Forbidden Gun.
The S-level Forbidden Spear has a total of six innate skills, but the Evil Spirit Card still only has one innate skill, with no special changes.
Now is not the time to study skills. Li Xiu continues to absorb the remaining gems to improve the quality of his embryo.
As far as Li Xiu knows, the quality of an S-level embryo can be doubled. His current level is 32, and if he reaches the peak of S-level, it can reach 64.
If you want super spirituality, you need a super spiritual gem. However, super spirituality will not increase the upper limit of the quality of the original embryo. Only after being promoted to light base, the upper limit of the quality of the original embryo will be increased again.
After Li Xiu absorbed most of the gems, the quality of the embryo only increased to over 40, which was still far from the peak of S-level.
I originally thought that it would take a few days before the third round of gems would be scattered, but less than a day had passed and another round of gems were scattered.
The gems scattered this time were exactly the same as those in the previous two rounds, with exactly the same quantity, quality, shape and size.
This made Li Xiu wonder if these gems were artificially made, otherwise how could they be exactly the same.
It is difficult to find two natural gemstones that are exactly the same on Earth, let alone such a large gemstone.
Moreover, Li Xiu had heard from Lao Dao before that it usually takes several days to scatter a round of gems. Why are the gems scattering much earlier than Lao Dao said?
Li Xiu thought of a very bad possibility. Maybe the creature that scattered the gems found that the gems below were almost gone, so it scattered the gems in advance.
It's like feeding pigs. When you see that the pig food is almost gone, you put new food in.
In the past, no one could absorb the energy of gems like Li Xiu, so it took much longer to scatter new gems. Now that the gems have been absorbed by Li Xiu, they can be scattered faster.
Li Xiu looked up at the needle-like hole, but found nothing.
Since there was nothing to discover, Li Xiu had no choice but to continue absorbing the light energy from the gems. He was now getting more and more adept at controlling the energy in the bottle, and his integration with the Hand of God was getting better and better.
He casually absorbed light energy into his body and transmitted it along the path of light veins to all parts of his body, constantly strengthening his body.
Suddenly, Li Xiu felt his whole body tremble, and a strange energy spread throughout his body, as if he had eaten the fruit of life. He felt indescribably comfortable, and at the same time, strange information flooded into his mind.
"Huh, the super spiritual skill has changed?" Li Xiu was a little surprised, because he found that the information absorbed from the bottle had changed.
Super Bottle Absorption: A super spiritual skill that can absorb light energy for your own use.
"Skills can actually be changed?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He found that the bottle suction was easy to use and not as difficult to control as before. Moreover, the absorption and transformation capabilities became stronger.
Li Xiu used the super bottle to absorb the light energy of the gems and found that the conversion rate was much higher and the consumption in the middle was also reduced.
"This is much more convenient. I don't have to control it deliberately." Li Xiu raised the quality of his embryo to the full state of 64 in a short while, and there were seven gems left on the ground.
There was no way to continue improving the quality of the embryo, and it would be a waste to absorb it further. Li Xiu simply stopped and let Sha Chu enjoy the light energy bath there by himself.
"What's wrong?" Sha Chu noticed that Li Xiu had stopped and also stopped practicing. He looked at Li Xiu and asked.
"My embryo quality has reached the maximum value of S level. These things are useless to me." Li Xiu said.
"You have been promoted to S-level!" Sha Chu looked at Li Xiu with a complicated expression and asked, this was too fast.
Li Xiu nodded, looked around and said, "You practice first, I'll look around."
Li Xiu always felt that this place was a bit weird. After giving a few instructions, he climbed up along the stone wall. Soon he reached the entrance of the cave. When he jumped up and wanted to jump out of the cave, he suddenly felt like he had hit an invisible wall. There was a loud bang on his head, and the person who was hit felt dizzy. He also felt like he was electrocuted all over his body, and fell down from it.
Fortunately, the cave itself was very magical. As he fell, his speed became slower and slower, and finally he landed slowly on the ground. If he really fell from such a high place, even an S-level physique would not be able to withstand it.
Li Xiu's head was buzzing from the collision, and it felt like electric currents were running through his body, causing his limbs to shake uncontrollably. He was unable to get up for a long time.
"Li Xiu, are you okay?" Sha Chu came to Li Xiu and wanted to help him up, but as soon as he touched his body, his palm bounced away as if it was electrocuted, and sparks flashed between his fingers and Li Xiu's.
