Li Xiu looked at the box. This box was similar to the other boxes on the shelf. It was made of wood on the outside. When he took it down and opened it, he saw that the super spiritual gem inside was wrapped in gold foil.
When the gold foil was opened, a fist-sized red gem was revealed inside. The red light inside the gem flowed like thick liquid.
"What kind of super spiritual gem is this?" Li Xiu asked Mr. Ba who was standing beside him.
"This should be a super spiritual gem grown in the ruby mine." Mr. Ba said as he looked at the super spiritual gem.
"The super gemstone born from the earth?" Li Xiu rewrapped the super gemstone with gold foil, put it back into the box, and picked up the box directly: "Choose this one."
The president said that he would be better off choosing the super spiritual gem on Earth. The super spiritual gem that Mr. Ba hinted at was also bred on Earth, so there was no problem in choosing this one.
Li Xiu walked out of the inner storehouse with the box. No one checked him and no one stopped him.
"Are you leaving now? Don't you need to register?" Li Xiu walked out the door and asked Mr. Ba.
"No need. This is the president's private warehouse, not the General Affairs Department's warehouse. There's no need to be so troublesome." Mr. Ba said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that others will take more?" Li Xiu asked again.
Mr. Ba looked back at the small building and saw that no one was there, so he turned around and lowered his voice and said, "You don't really think that the blind woman is there just to clean, do you?"
Li Xiu also felt that the blind woman should not be an ordinary person, but he couldn't see what was special about her.
"Let's talk while we walk." The Eighth Master followed Li Xiu and said to him on the way, "If you want to ask me what that blind woman is capable of, I really don't know, but when I joined Changshengtian when I was young, she was already the same as she is now. Now, after so many years, she still looks the same, without any change."
Li Xiu nodded and said nothing more. It would be strange if the person who could guard the president's inner treasury was just an ordinary blind old woman.
"Don't go, I haven't finished yet." When Li Xiu was about to go back, he was stopped by Mr. Ba.
"Don't you know the origin of that blind woman? What else is there to say?" Li Xiu looked at Mr. Ba in confusion.
The Eighth Master laughed and said, "I'm not talking about that blind woman, I'm talking about that super spiritual gem."
"Didn't you say it already? These are super spiritual gems produced by ruby mines. What else is there to say?" Li Xiu was a little puzzled.
Mr. Ba said, "There is a lot to say. Let's go have a drink or two and I will tell you slowly."
"Let's go to my place." Li Xiu took the Eighth Master back to Yard No. 7 and asked Sha Chu to prepare some wine and food.
"What is this?" Mr. Ba said depressedly as he looked at the wine and food brought by Sha Chu.
"The general manager doesn't usually drink alcohol, and we don't have any at home. This is the rice wine I bought last time for cooking. I think it's wine anyway, so it should be drinkable, right?" Sha Chu said as he put two plates of side dishes on the table: "These are all we have at home. You guys eat first, I'll go cook."
"No need to fry, peanuts will be enough." When Mr. Ba saw a plate of boiled peanuts on the plate, he waved his hand, indicating that Sha Chu didn't need to bother.
Li Xiu opened the bottle, poured a glass of rice wine for Mr. Ba, and poured himself a glass as well. The two clinked glasses. Li Xiu originally wanted to drink it all in one gulp, but it tasted a bit like soy sauce, which was not very tasty. He only drank half a glass and put it down.
Mr. Ba drank it all in one gulp, put down his glass and said, "Yellow wine is actually a good thing, but there are many things to pay attention to. It's fine for cooking, but it's not very interesting if you really want to drink it."
"I'll ask Shachu to buy some good wine." Li Xiu said as he was about to call Shachu, but was stopped by Baye.
"The wine is not important, as long as it is drinkable, what is important is to talk about the matter."
"Is there any problem with this super spiritual gem?" Li Xiu asked as he placed the box on the table.
While peeling peanuts, Mr. Ba said, "There are two types of super-spiritual gems. One is dug out from demon spirits, and the other is dug out from gem mines. In theory, the two types of super-spiritual gems are the same, and both can make the symbiotic contract super-spiritual. You should know this."
"Then tell me something I don't know." Li Xiu also took a peanut and put it in his mouth. He chewed it twice and spit it out. It turned out to be a rotten one.
Mr. Ba laughed and said, "When you eat flower rice, you have to take off the red coating inside, otherwise you don't know if it's rotten or not."
After a pause, Mr. Ba continued, "Super Spirit Gems can also be divided into good and bad. The quality of Super Spirit Gems dug out from a demon spirit is related to the demon spirit's own Super Spirit limit. For a demon spirit with 80% Super Spirit, the Super Spirit Gems dug out from it will contain 80% of the energy. So, the higher the level of the demon spirit, the better the Super Spirit Gems it produces. The quality of Super Spirit Gems can also affect the Super Spirit limit of the Symbiotic Contract."
"For example, your Symbiosis Contract's potential was not high originally, and it could only reach 80% of the upper limit of Super Spirit. After this point, no matter how much resources you use, it cannot be improved. If you fuse a Super Spirit Gem with a gem that has a 90% upper limit of Super Spirit, then the potential of the Symbiosis Contract may be improved. It could only reach 80% originally, but now it may be able to reach 82%, or even higher."
"So that's how it is. Are the super spiritual gems dug out from the gem mine the same as well?" Li Xiu asked.
"That's about right. Since they are all super-spiritual gems, they are naturally divided into good and bad. However, it is hard to tell whether the super-spiritual gems produced in this mine are good or bad."
Mr. Ba continued, "You are talking about the super-spiritual gemstone on the demon spirit. We can judge the strength of the demon spirit by observing its own strength. After the demon spirit enters the super-spiritual state, we can probably tell the difference."
"The super-spiritual gems produced in gem mines are different. There is no reference. If you want to distinguish whether the super-spiritual gems are good or bad, you can only look at the size of the mineral vein. Generally speaking, the larger the mineral vein, the better the super-spiritual gems produced."
"Of course, it doesn't mean that a big mine is necessarily good. In addition to its size, the quality of the gems produced also affects the quality of the super-spiritual gems. There is also the variety of gems. There is no need to explain this. The super-spiritual gems produced by the five major gem mines are definitely not bad."
"The super spiritual gem you chose came from a ruby vein, and it's the top-grade ruby mine. When the president first obtained this super spiritual gem, I was right next to him. I thought that after so many years, this super spiritual gem should have been used up long ago, but I didn't expect it to still be there."
"It's been so many years, it's really rare." Li Xiu said as he fiddled with this super spiritual gem.
The president is the lord of Red Sand City. Red Sand City is the most famous place for producing rubies. It has the best ruby mines in the world. It is conceivable that the super spiritual rubies he brought back will not be too bad.
“It’s more than rare, it’s extremely rare. This super spiritual gem not only comes from the top ruby mine, but also caused some extraordinary visions when it was born.” Master Ba said mysteriously.
"Vision?" Li Xiu didn't quite understand what vision meant.
"Yes, a strange phenomenon." Mr. Ba took a sip of wine and recalled, "Generally, when a super-spiritual gem is born, it will attract demons to come and compete for it. There is no need to explain this, you should also know it. When this super-spiritual gem was born, it attracted countless demons to snatch it. The scene was so grand that I won't talk about it. At that time, a strange thing also happened."
After peeling two peanuts and putting them in his mouth, Mr. Ba continued, "All the demons that entered the mine to fight for the super-spiritual gems died. None of them came out alive."
"Isn't this quite normal?" Li Xiu didn't know how this could be an anomaly.
The super spiritual gem that he snatched back last time also caused the deaths of many evil spirits.
"It is indeed normal for evil spirits to die while trying to seize the super spiritual gems, but have you ever seen the souls of those evil spirits leave their bodies to guard the super spiritual gems after they die?" Mr. Ba said mysteriously.
"Soul leaving the body? Can the soul of a demon leave the body?" Li Xiu saw that Mr. Ba was talking nonsense.
"Yes, it's the soul leaving the body. The body died, and a ball of light and shadow left the body. If that's not the soul leaving the body, then what is it?" Mr. Ba drank the wine in his glass in one gulp: "At that time, I followed the president all the way there, and saw many demons lying dead in the mine. No one knew how they died. They had no injuries on their bodies. They were still some distance away from where the super-spiritual gems were. The president and I saw with our own eyes that light and shadows like souls rushed out of the bodies of those demons lying dead on the ground and rushed to the area where the super-spiritual gems were..."
"Later, when we entered the Super Spirit area, we saw all kinds of demonic spirits everywhere. They seemed to have lost their minds and were desperately guarding the Super Spirit Gem. Only after the president dispersed all of them did he get the Super Spirit Gem."
"Could those lights and shadows be the magic light within the demon spirit's body?" Li Xiu pondered.
"The magic light turning into a spirit is something that only the soul-forging level can do. How can an ordinary magic spirit possibly do that?" Lao Ba shook his head.
"It is indeed a bit strange. I have never heard of a demon spirit using its soul to protect the super spiritual gem after its death." Li Xiu looked at the super spiritual gem in his hand, but he did not feel that there was anything strange about it. It looked not much different from the two super spiritual gems he had obtained before.
“Anyway, this super spiritual gem is extraordinary. If you can use it, you can use it yourself. If you can’t use it, you can exchange it for a super spiritual gem that suits your needs.” Mr. Ba said.
"Why is it not suitable?" Li Xiu was a little confused.
"When you obtained the Symbiotic Contract, did you use the ruby to open the Trial Gate? If so, then this Super Spiritual Gemstone will be just right for you. If not, you'd better exchange it for another one. This Super Spiritual Gemstone is extraordinary. If you find the right person, you might be able to exchange it for two other types of Super Spiritual Gems."
"It should be possible to use it!" Li Xiu was not sure.
He has two symbiotic contracts. The trial door for holding the forbidden spear is opened with sapphire, and the trial door for holding the evil spirit card is opened with ruby and sapphire together.
Logically speaking, it should be usable.
However, Li Xiu has not been able to confirm whether the Forbidden Spear can also be enhanced by using a super-spiritual gem to make the Evil Spirit Card super-spiritual. If not, he will have to find another super-spiritual gem.
"Okay, we've drunk the wine and talked. Fourth brother, just take care of your own thing. I'll go back first." The Eighth Master finished the last sip of the wine, patted his butt and left.
After Mr. Ba left, Li Xiu returned to his room, summoned the evil spirit card, and placed the super spiritual gem on the evil spirit card.
when!
The evil spirit card suddenly turned over. Originally, the blue light vein side was next to the super spirit gem, but now it has become the red light vein side next to the super spirit gem.
I saw the red light vein diagram light up, and the red spiritual light in the super spiritual gem seemed to be attracted by something and flowed towards the red light vein diagram.
As the red spiritual light flowed into the evil spirit card, the red light vein pattern on the evil spirit card became brighter and brighter, and more and more red lines were lit up.
Soon the entire red light vein diagram was lit up, and the red light in the super spirit gem continued to flow into the red light vein diagram.
Li Xiu observed carefully and found that the red light in the red light vein diagram was actually flowing and circulating inside. With each circulation, the red line on the red light vein diagram became a little brighter.
After an unknown amount of time, the red light in the super spiritual gem had been completely drawn out, and the gem itself had become pale and colorless.
With a crackling sound, the transparent glass-like gem shattered and turned into a pile of powder.
Li Xiu looked at the Evil Spirit Card. The red light vein diagram on the Evil Spirit Card was still emitting light, but it did not go any further, nor did it mean to enter a super-spiritual state.
“No way… Could it be that another super spiritual sapphire is needed to make the Evil Spirit Card super spiritual…” Li Xiu picked up the Evil Spirit Card and looked at it, and found that the blue light vein diagram was not bright at all. He guessed that he had to light it up before this thing could become super spiritual.
There was nothing I could do but take the evil spirit card back.
"According to this calculation, I still need two more super spiritual sapphires to make the Evil Spirit Card and the Forbidden Spear both super spiritual..." Li Xiu was a little distressed. Where could he get two super spiritual sapphires now?
The key is that he cannot buy it openly, otherwise others will wonder what he wants so many super spiritual gems for.
After thinking for a long time, Li Xiu decided not to buy the super spiritual gem first and went back to the City of Light first.
Since the president already knows that Ximen Guan is in the City of Light, he has to go back and discuss countermeasures with Ximen Guan.
Another thing is to go back and help them light the lamps. Otherwise, it is useless if there is no one to help them light the lamps.
Even if the director wants to leave Changshengtian, he needs a mission or approval from Vice President Han, and he has to go to Han Minghui to go through the procedures.
Li Xiu first went to the magic costume master's compound and arranged everything.
He developed a training plan for magic armor masters and handed it to Qian Chongshan, asking Qian Chongshan to be responsible for its implementation.
There is also the issue of the families of the magic costume masters. Whether they are current magic costume masters or those who have died in the past, their descendants and families can apply to join the technician team.
As long as they joined the technician team, they could live in the Great Wall without having to stay in the Rebirth Town and live in fear.
Of course, their living needs also need to be taken care of by the technician team. Changshengtian is not able to solve their living problems.
Li Xiu asked all the magic armor masters who had deserted their posts before to go back. This was related to the safety of the entire Changshengtian. If something went wrong, it would not only be the Li family that would be offended.
After arranging the matter of the magician, Li Xiu went to the research institute again and handed the magician account to Professor Xu.
Although Li Xiu had used it very carefully, the Magic Master still suffered some damage due to overloading.
Fortunately, Li Xiu was not overloaded too much. He mainly used the technique of absorbing energy from the super spirit bottle to defeat Li Changmian. The damage was not too serious and should not be scrapped. It should be fine after a repair.
I also talked with Professor Xu about the mass production of multi-core magic equipment. Professor Xu said that there is no problem with the technology, but there is a shortage of manpower and resources, and it may be difficult to produce it in large quantities in a short period of time.
Li Xiu came to Han Minghui's office and handed in his application form to take Sha Chu away from Changshengtian.
"Director Li, you just became the director and you are busy with group affairs. How do you have time to go out?" Han Minghui looked at the application form and continued, "This is not easy. First, there is no mission, and second, there is no permission from the president. And you have to take a member out. This may be a bit difficult."
"Vice President Han, why don't you ask the president first and then decide whether to approve it." Li Xiu said casually.
"Mr. Li, what you mean is that your leaving Changshengtian was arranged by the president?" Han Minghui frowned.
"I don't know, you can ask yourself." Li Xiu said.
"Your attitude makes it difficult for me to deal with you." Han Minghui stared at Li Xiu and said.
"If it's difficult, we don't have to do it. If the president asks, I will say that Vice President Han is in a difficult situation. In order not to embarrass Vice President Han, I didn't go out. It's all because of my good intentions. It has nothing to do with Vice President Han." Li Xiu said with a smile.
Han Minghui looked at Li Xiu with a frown in silence. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether what Li Xiu said was true or false, nor could she tell whether he was bluffing her by using the name of the president.
If it was someone else, she would never believe the empty words without the president sending someone to say hello.
But Li Xiu had just killed Li Changmian, and the president actually saved him. No one would believe that there was no relationship between them.
Now there are rumors that Li Xiu is the president's illegitimate son, and even Han Minghui is a little suspicious about this.
"Mr. Li, please wait here for a moment." Han Minghui did not dare to make a decision rashly, and decided to send someone to ask the president for instructions.
Not long after, the person who was sent out came back and whispered a few words in Han Minghui's ear. When Han Minghui came back, his face was full of smiles.
"Director Li, all the formalities have been completed for you. I'll have someone take you out." Han Minghui's attitude became very friendly.
Because the message from the president only contained one sentence, that Li Xiu could enter and exit Changshengtian at any time.
"Could it be that he is really the president's illegitimate child?" Han Minghui had never received such an order. Even if those directors who had important matters to attend to wanted to go out, the president would not let them come and go freely. It was not an easy thing to go out whenever they wanted in Changshengtian.
