In Li Xiu's impression, his sister has always been a sweet girl and has never changed. So much so that for a long time when he was a child, he thought that women would never grow old.
Once when he was a child, he was injured and rescued by his sister. His sister then adopted Li Xiu from the orphanage in the small town and brought him to live in the town.
That small town belongs to the ancient city under the jurisdiction of White Night City. White Night City itself is an area with extremely scarce gem resources, and the same is true for the ancient city. Except for the early days when the demons came, the ancient city was attacked by demons, and then basically no demons were seen there. Only occasionally would a demon pass by there.
In addition, the ancient city is geographically remote and has few industrial resources. Although the town is not very prosperous, life here is quite stable.
In a small town like that, Li Xiu had a relatively happy childhood. Basically, he had everything that other children had, and his sister never forced him to do anything he didn't want to do.
Li Xiu liked magic costumes, so his sister invited several retired magic costume masters in the town to train him. No matter what he liked, his sister could always fulfill his wishes.
The only drawback is that my sister is not good at cooking and is not very good at doing housework. From childhood to adulthood, my sister's food and daily life were actually taken care of by Li Xiu. In fact, it is difficult to say clearly who adopted whom.
In Li Xiu's impression, his elder sister is a big sister who is beautiful, cute, gentle, playful, and occasionally a little willful.
The two lived together for ten years. Later, the elder sister often left the town for something. Li Xiu also grew up and wanted to go out and see the world. With his sister's consent, he left the town to travel. Later, he met Bai Qiuyi and joined the Space City.
After spending so much time together, perhaps out of habit, Li Xiu never felt that there was anything special about his sister.
But now the girl's shadow transformed by the word "Ling" in front of him turned out to be his sister. Even the expression and some small movements looked exactly the same, which surprised Li Xiu very much.
The girl's shadow blocked Li Xiu's way, and this scene made Li Xiu feel inexplicably familiar.
The girl Guangying saw Li Xiu's current appearance, her face full of heartache, she stretched out her hand and stroked Li Xiu's cheek: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Xiu, sister is here."
"It's indeed my sister!" Li Xiu was surprised and happy. This name, this voice, could only belong to his sister.
Li Zheng was about to say something, but he saw the man who was radiating light like a god or demon stood up and stared at the girl's shadow.
From just now until now, the god-like man has been sitting the whole time. It seems more like he is having a meal than fighting with Li Xiu.
Now he stood up, staring at the girl's back, and leaned forward.
"Sister, be...careful..." Li Xiu loudly reminded the girl Guangying, but the next second, he widened his eyes with disbelief on his face.
The man who looked like a god or devil did not attack the girl's light and shadow. Instead, he knelt on one knee in front of the dining table, put one hand on his chest, lowered his head and trembled, saying: "I didn't know that this human was related to you, sir. Please forgive my ignorance and offense..."
"What's going on?" Li Xiu was a little confused now, staring blankly at the girl's shadow and the trembling man.
The girl ignored the man and stroked Li Xiu's body with her hand emitting a milky white glow.
The fork that was stuck in Li Xiu's body seemed to have vaporized and disappeared, and the wounds on Li Xiu's body healed as if he had never been injured.
The man was still kneeling there, not daring to raise his head or speak again.
Seeing that Li Xiu's wounds had healed, the girl turned around and looked at the man kneeling in front of the dining table.
Just by being glanced at by the girl, the man seemed to shiver involuntarily.
"Are you from the evil Luo clan?" The girl said coldly, staring at the man.
Hearing the girl's words, the man's body trembled violently, and he fell to his knees with a plop, crawling under the dining table, and said in extreme fear: "This is all my fault. It has nothing to do with the evil Luo family. Please forgive me..."
"My brother was injured by you and his weapon was broken by you. You don't have to go back. Just stay with him." The girl said lightly.
"Please be merciful, sir." The man was ecstatic and thanked him quickly.
The girl stretched out her hand and grabbed the man in mid-air. The man's body and the golden knife immediately flew towards the girl's palm. The giant body quickly shrank during the flight and merged with the golden knife. When it reached the girl's hand, it had become a normal-sized golden knife.
The girl placed the dinner knife in front of Li Xiu, gently stroked the top of his head and said, "Xiao Xiu, I'm trying to find a way home, so I can't take care of you. You have to take care of yourself. I'll take you home when I find the way home..."
"Sister..." Li Xiu wanted to say something, but he saw that the girl's shadow had faded quickly and completely disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the golden dinner knife in Li Xiu's hand.
Lao Dao raised his sword and was about to chop again, when he suddenly saw the ball of light in front of him disappear, and saw Li Xiu standing in the ruins of the palace.
"Chief...are you okay..." Jing Li rushed over quickly.
"I'm fine, what's wrong with you?" Li Xiu shook his head, took back the golden dinner knife in his hand, and asked in confusion when he saw Jing Li covered with wounds.
"It's all for the sake of saving you." Jiu Xiaoyun said with a sneer.
Li Xiu figured out what happened, summoned the forbidden gun, and shot at Jing Li, which scared Jiu Xiaoyun.
The immortal bullet shot into Jing Li's body, and the bullet immediately began to repair Jing Li's injured body. After a while, the wounds on Jing Li's body were healed.
"Can this thing of yours really heal injuries?" Jiu Xiaoyun looked at the forbidden gun in Li Xiu's hand in surprise.
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago?" Li Xiu put away the forbidden gun.
"If I had known you were okay, I wouldn't have to sacrifice my Bishan Lingxi." Jiuxiaoyun was extremely depressed.
Li Xiu had already heard what Sha Chu had said, and knew that Jiu Xiao Yun had actually sacrificed Bi Shan Ling Xi to save him: "I will find you a demon spirit that is better than Bi Shan Ling Xi later."
"Forget about the evil spirit, just help me light the lamp." Jiuxiaoyun said.
"It's just a piece of cake. I'll help you light the lamp when we get back." Li Xiu took a look at the hole in the ground and followed Lao Dao back to the city.
On the way, Li Xiu briefly recounted what had happened to him. He only said that he had encountered a terrifying evil spirit, and did not mention the fact that the word "spirit" turned into the light and shadow of a girl.
After returning to Wengcheng, Li Xiu helped Jiuxiaoyun light the lamp and gave him the Zi Buyu Strange Power and Chaos Technique. Whether he wanted to practice the Zi Buyu Strange Power and Chaos Technique was his own business.
The lamp was lit successfully, Jiuxiaoyun was extremely happy and went back to practicing on his own.
When he was resting alone, Li Xiu took out the golden knife and placed it on the table. He looked at the golden knife and said, "You can hear me, right?"
"Sir, what do you want me to do?" The golden table knife stood up by itself, and the blade vibrated, actually producing a sound like human speech.
"What's your name?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the golden table knife.
"Your Excellency can just call me E'Luo." The Golden Dinner Knife replied.
"Are you the king of the Eluo clan?" Li Xiu had heard the man call himself the king before, so he asked.
"No one is qualified to be king in front of you, sir." E Luo replied quickly and humbly.
"It seems that this guy is really afraid of my sister." Li Xiu already knew the answer. This guy should be the king of the evil Luo clan.
"Xiao E, do you know my sister?" Li Xiu asked.
"How can I be qualified to know that gentleman? But just seeing his grace from afar is already a blessing of a lifetime." E Luo replied.
"How strong is she?" Li Xiu asked again.
"Aren't you the younger brother of that adult? Don't you know?" E Luo asked cautiously.
"Am I asking you, or are you asking me?" Li Xiu frowned.
Elu Luo said quickly: "Sir, calm down. I really can't estimate how powerful that sir is. I only know that when that sir went to the bottomless pit, the king of the bottomless pit..."
"What's wrong?" Li Xiu couldn't help but ask when he saw Elu Luo hesitating.
"It is his blessing to be able to devote himself to that great man." E Luo said carefully.
"Dedicate yourself? What does that mean? Speak human language." Li Xiu frowned.
"It's...it's that I was roasted and eaten by that adult..." Eluo said tremblingly.
Li Xiu looked a little strange. The Bottomless Cave was known as one of the four forbidden areas. The king of one of the four forbidden areas was barbecued by his sister. Li Xiu imagined that scene and shuddered.
He was now full of doubts. If his sister was really so powerful, why had she never taught him anything related to cultivation, and never shown it in front of him?
What did his sister mean by finding a way home? She even roasted the king of the bottomless pit. Was there any place in the world that she couldn't go? Where exactly was the home she was talking about?
His sister had told him before that their home was very far away. At that time, Li Xiu had no idea what "far" meant, but now thinking about it, it was really a bit far.
"Is the king of the bottomless pit very powerful? What level is he?" Li Xiu continued to ask.
"It should be the God Level." Seeing that Li Xiu didn't seem to know the God Level, Eluo immediately explained considerately: "Among the three levels of Light Base, Soul Casting, and God Level, God Level is considered the top. Of course, in front of that adult, God Level is nothing, but among us demon spirits, God Level is already considered the top."
"What level is my sister?" Li Xiu asked.
"I really dare not speculate about that gentleman's rank, please forgive me." E Luo said quickly.
"What level are you?" Li Xiu asked again.
"I am just a lowly god, I am sorry to have embarrassed you, sir." E Luo spoke very humbly, but one could sense that he was somewhat proud.
"Tell me the differences between these three levels in detail." Li Xiu was a little surprised. According to E Luo, he was already at the highest level of godhood, but he was still not sure how strong his sister was. It was really hard to imagine how strong his sister was.
Eluo explained the differences and relationships between the three levels clearly, which allowed Li Xiu to have an accurate understanding of the levels of evil spirits.
Needless to say, the light base is determined by the amount of condensed light veins. After the light base is the soul casting, which is to transform into a soul with one's own light veins.
Going one step further is the god level. Establishing a godhood with the spirit of light and obtaining the position of a god is almost equivalent to being a god. At that level, one can control the power of rules to a certain extent.
"Eluo didn't mention the levels below the Light Base at all, which means that in his eyes, creatures below the Light Base are not even worth mentioning. I, an S-level creature, am indeed a low-level creature to him." Li Xiu secretly rejoiced: "She is worthy of being my sister. Now that I have the god-level Eluo, I can kill demons at will and walk around the trial grounds at will. As long as the demons are not extinct, I can have as many resources as I want."
"Xiao E, you should be very familiar with Tiancheng, right? Do you know where there are some god-level demons? Let's go and kill a few of them." Li Xiu immediately became greedy.
Eluo said depressedly, "Sir, I was sealed in the golden knife by that sir. I have no way to use my own power. Only you can use the golden knife yourself."
"What do you mean?" Li Xiu didn't quite understand what E Luo meant.
After E Luo's explanation, Li Xiu finally understood what it meant.
The situation of the golden dinner knife is now similar to that of the spiritual mace, and Li Xiu himself needs to activate the power of the golden dinner knife.
However, in the past, activating the spiritual mace relied on spiritual awareness, but activating the golden dinner knife requires light energy. The stronger Li Xiu’s light energy is, the stronger the golden dinner knife will be.
"Oh my sister, aren't you trying to trick me? The golden table knife is obviously a god-level item, but it can't fight by itself and needs my own light energy to activate it. Are you really trying to make fun of me on purpose?" Li Xiu felt a little depressed.
"Maybe that adult wants to train your own abilities and doesn't want you to rely too much on external forces..." E Luo said embarrassedly.
"Forget it." Li Xiu knew that his sister couldn't be blamed for this.
It was obvious that the girl's shadow was not his sister's real body, but just a wisp of spiritual consciousness left in the spirit mace. It was terrifying that a wisp of spiritual consciousness could achieve this level.
What's more, she is now looking for the way home and probably won't be able to come back for a while. If she doesn't put some restrictions on Elu Luo, there is no guarantee that he won't cause any trouble.
Li Xiu is now thinking that when he sees his sister in the future, he will ask her why she didn't teach him how to practice before.
If he had known that his sister was so strong, he wouldn't have learned magic equipment and would have directly followed his sister to practice. Maybe he would have become a god now.
In order to use the golden table knife, one must first have enough light energy. Now the light energy in Li Xiu's body is obviously insufficient. First, he must condense the light veins so that he can store more light energy.
Of course, the step of super spirituality is also necessary.
After a good night's sleep, when Li Xiu woke up the next day, he went to find Lao Dao and asked him if he had any way to get the super spiritual gem.
"It's hard to get the super spirit gems, but it's also easy." Lao Dao said with a smile, "There are quite a few demon spirits in Tianmen, and any demon spirit is at least a super spirit, but it's not easy to find them. There are some places that even I dare not go to, and I can't just walk around. Just like when you went to the pig farm, it was a relatively safe place in the explored area, but something happened. Other places are even more dangerous, and there may be some terrible demon spirits hiding in them, so it's a bit difficult to find the demon spirits. But if a demon spirit wants to rush out of Tianmen from here, it will be much easier to get the super spirit gems."
"When will the evil spirit come?" Li Xiu asked.
"That's hard to say. Maybe the evil spirit will come soon, or it may take a few days or months. No one can tell for sure." Lao Dao said.
"It's the same as not saying anything." Li Xiu was immediately depressed: "Why didn't those evil ghosts leave anything behind after they were killed?"
"Evil ghosts are very special, and I don't know much about them. When you meet an evil ghost again, you must be careful. The evil ghost king has been suppressed for so many years and was very weak before. It's hard to say what will happen in the future." Lao Dao shook his head.
Li Xiu had no other options. He inquired about some things in Tianmen, but still could not get to the point. According to Lao Dao's suggestion, it would be best for him to go out and go to other trial sites to kill evil spirits and take the super spiritual gem, or simply buy a ready-made super spiritual gem.
"It seems that this is the only way." Li Xiu originally wanted to wait for Chao Ling before going out, but after what happened at the pig farm, he didn't dare to take risks in Tianmen anymore.
He had his sister to save his life before, but now that his magic mace is gone, and he encounters an invincible and terrifying evil spirit, no one can save his life.
"Anyway, I've been promoted to S-level, and the purpose of coming here has been achieved. It's time to leave." Li Xiu called Jing Li, Sha Chu and Jiu Xiaoyun over and asked them to prepare to leave Tianmen.
After saying goodbye to Lao Dao, the group returned along the original route. When they passed the single-plank bridge and the Yanbo Pond, they didn't feel anything special this time, and they successfully returned to the outside of Tianmen City.
"Sha Chu, don't blow out the light and go out yet. Wait here for two days first." Li Xiu asked Sha Chu to stay first, and he, Jing Li and Jiu Xiaoyun went out first.
The three of them blew out their respective immortal lamps at the same time. As the immortal lamps went out, Li Xiu only felt the scenery in front of him change. He had returned to the front of the trial gate, and Jing Li and Jiu Xiaoyun were also beside them.
"Li Xiu, you actually dare to come out?" The three people had just stood firm when they saw Li Changmian and his men surrounding the Trial Gate.
"Why shouldn't I come out?" As Li Xiu spoke, he had already activated the man-made No. 13 magic suit in his hand and put it on.
After he left the trial ground, everything he had carried with him returned to him out of thin air.
In addition to the artificial No. 13 magic suit, there is also a large box of gems, which were exchanged for selling light magic.
"Since you're back, you can leave your life behind." Light energy rose from Li Changmian's body and he walked towards Li Xiu.
Jing Li wanted to go forward, but was blocked by another trial-taker. Jiu Xiaoyun on the other side was also blocked by someone.
"Jing Li, don't get involved in things that are not your business." The trial-taker who stopped Jing Li was an old man, and next to him followed a humanoid demon spirit. The demon spirit was wrapped in a black shell and held a spear in his hand. Light energy was rising from his body, and it seemed as if there was a city of evil spirits protecting him. He looked very scary and should be a light-based demon spirit.
Before Jing Li could make a move, the evil spirit rushed up waving a spear.
Jiu Xiaoyun saw clearly who was blocking him, so he rode on the Demon Shark and dived into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
As Li Changmian walked towards Li Xiu, his body underwent strange changes. His body was covered with black scales, which extended in his hands and turned into a strange sword made of stacked scales.
