"It's such a waste of resources for trial-takers to practice. A super spiritual gem is so expensive. No wonder there are so few super spiritual trial-takers. I only have so many resources. If I continue to practice like this, I will never have enough money. I must find a way to make some money." Li Xiu kept thinking about this problem on the way back.

The president has already spoken. In the future, he will not be able to use too many of the technician team’s resources for himself. He will have to find a way to earn money on his own.

Generally, if trial participants want to make money, most of them go to the trial site to kill demons and obtain magic cores in exchange for useful resources.

If you can get talent gems, skill rings, magic rings, etc., you can bring them out and sell them.

More advanced trial participants also have the chance to obtain things like super spiritual gems and light-based gems, and can make money much faster.

The probability is too low. It is said that even among thousands of demons, one super-spiritual gem may not appear. The probability is not much higher than that of a demon ring.

Even if Li Xiu had the Forbidden Gun and increased the chance by one or two times, the chance of getting the super spiritual gem would not be too high.

What's more, you have to find so many high-level monsters in the trial land, and in the areas where high-level monsters appear, there may be higher-level monsters appearing, which means you have to risk your life.

"How can I make money without doing anything? The gem resources on the earth have been almost divided up. The owners of each mine have close ties with the forces of Changshengtian. It is obviously impossible to make money by mining." Li Xiu thought about it and decided that he was better at spending money.

When I returned to Yard No. 7, I saw that Chu Jun and Chu Qi had already returned. There were many things in big and small boxes on the table.

Li Xiu took a closer look and was almost blinded by the light. Among the boxes of gems, he did not see a single one that was smaller than three carats.

There are also various talent gems, skill rings, magic rings, and even a few super spirit gems.

"Changshengtian is indeed a paradise for trial-takers. You can buy anything here that you can't get outside. You should have everything you need before reaching the Soul Forging Level." Chu Jun said to Li Xiu with emotion.

Li Xiu thought, "For rich people, this is heaven, and for poor people, this is no different from the outside world."

"How much did you pay for this super spiritual gem?" Li Xiu took a look at the four super spiritual gems placed on the table. One was a super spiritual gem from Earth, and the other three should be magic spiritual gems.

"It cost more than 30 billion in total." Chu Jun said casually.

"Does your family print money?" Li Xiu wanted to sigh, but then he thought, doesn't that person's family print money?

Aren’t the Bai Ye coins printed by his Chu family?

Of course, the Chu family cannot just print money as they please. Printing money randomly will only turn the Baiye currency into waste paper.

The only two universal currencies recognized in the world now are Space Coin and White Night Coin. Both are linked to magic equipment. Magic equipment can be purchased with Space Coin and White Night Coin, which is the prerequisite for both to circulate throughout the world.

Every penny Chu Jun spent here was earned by the Chu family from selling magic equipment.

Thinking of magic equipment, Li Xiu's eyes lit up. It was difficult for him to get involved in the gem business, but the magic equipment business was different. He controlled the Magic Equipment Research Institute and had the world's top laboratories. All kinds of magic equipment technologies could be sold, and at a high price.

There are ready-made buyers here. The magic equipment technology of White Night City has never been as good as that of Space City. After the mass production of Space City's super spirit series magic equipment, the magic equipment of White Night City is expected to be even worse.

If he could sell some of the achievements of the Magic Equipment Research Institute to Baiye City, not only would Baiye City be able to continue to balance the power of Space City, he would also be able to make money continuously. Baiye City would also be able to continue to make money, and Chu Jun would also have money to spend. This would be killing two birds with one stone.

Of course, it is impossible for Bai Ye City to buy out the technology. As long as they charge him a fee for using the technology, Li Xiu will get a share of the money from every set of magic equipment sold by the Chu family in the future.

As for whether the technology would have an impact on Changshengtian if it was learned by others, Li Xiu didn't care much. He actually hoped that the magic equipment technology would become as advanced as possible.

"I'll discuss it with Ximen Guan, Professor Xu and others to see what technologies can be sold. High-end equipment can be sold as well." Li Xiu has made up his mind to go to Baiye City and have a good chat with the old man of the Chu family. The prerequisite is that he will bring technology that is interesting enough to interest the old man.

"Don't just leave the gems here casually, be careful of being stolen." Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun fiddling with the gems and kindly reminded him.

"There are thieves in Changshengtian?" Chu Jun said in disbelief.

"Well, there are not only thieves, but also domestic thieves." Li Xiu said.

"House thief? No way, there is a thief in our house?" Chu Jun was shocked.

"Li Xiu, who are you talking about? I am a man of integrity and I never steal things from my own family." Jiu Xiaoyun walked in with an indignant look on his face. When he saw the table full of gems, he was stunned and couldn't help swallowing.

"What's going on? Where do so many gems come from?" Jiu Xiaoyun forgot to argue with Li Xiu and asked in surprise.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Chu Jun, the son of the Chu family in Baiye City. He will be a member of our technician team in the future. These are the gems he bought. You should recognize him first and don't put your hand in the wrong pocket in the future. This is Jiu Xiaoyun, also a member of my technician team, who is good at turning other people's things into his own." Li Xiu introduced the two people to each other.

"The young master of the Chu family in Baiye City... What a pity..." Jiu Xiaoyun sighed and said, "Hasn't the Chu family always been unwilling to join Changshengtian? How come the young master of the Chu family actually came to Changshengtian and joined the technician team?"

"There's nothing special about the young master of the Chu family. I'm just an ordinary trial-taker now. Please take care of me in the future." Chu Jun said.

Jiu Xiaoyun had never seen such an "ordinary" trial-taker. He glanced at the dazzling gems on the table, pursed his lips and said nothing.

"By the way, Li Xiu, I heard that you bought a super spiritual gem from Baoguang Pavilion. Is that true?" Jiuxiaoyun looked at Li Xiu and asked.

"How come the news spread so fast?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He had just returned and the news had already reached Jiu Xiaoyun's ears. It was too fast.

"Is the super spiritual gem you bought the lotus gem?" Jiuxiaoyun asked with a frown.

"That's right." Li Xiu nodded.

"How much did you buy it for?" Jiu Xiaoyun asked again.

"Probably less than 3 billion." Li Xiu heard the hidden meaning in Jiu Xiaoyun's words, so he asked, "Is there any problem with this super spiritual gem?"

"This is a serious problem. You've been tricked." Jiu Xiaoyun sighed.

"What? That super spiritual gem is not worth the price?" Li Xiu asked.

"It's worth it, let alone 3 billion, even 30 billion is worth it. The rare Padparadscha super spiritual gemstone, it is not surprising even if it is sold at a high price of 100 billion." Jiuxiaoyun said.

"Then how did I get fooled?" Li Xiu had known for a long time that there must be something wrong with this super spiritual gem, but he didn't know what the problem was, and he himself couldn't tell where the problem lay.

“Padparadscha is also known as Fire Lotus. It is called Padparadscha when it is 50% pink and 50% orange. The super-spiritual gem you bought from Baoguang Pavilion is a 50-50 Padparadscha. If it was just an ordinary gem, there would be no problem. But since it is a super-spiritual gem, then there is a big problem.”

Jiuxiaoyun continued, "Blue sapphire, yellow sapphire, green sapphire, pink sapphire, purple sapphire, and orange sapphire are all sapphires, and they are also from the corundum family. Theoretically, the properties of these gems are similar, but the properties of sapphires of different colors are still somewhat different. This deviation is not a problem if it is an ordinary gem. However, for super-spiritual gems, the two light energy properties are different, which will have a great impact on the promotion to super-spiritual. The padparadscha you bought has the properties of both pink sapphire and orange sapphire, which are two completely different light energy properties. After being fused into a padparadscha, it is a composite light energy of the two properties. Ordinary trialists will have big problems if they use this composite light energy super-spiritual."

"When this Padparadscha gemstone was first released, it caused a sensation. Many people who had sapphire series contracts wanted to use it to gain super powers. At that time, it was sold for over 100 billion yuan. Unfortunately, the trialists who wanted to use it to gain super powers all ran into problems because it was incompatible with the two light energy properties and could not use it at all."

"I see." Li Xiu finally knew where the problem lay, but he didn't care.

"Don't take it lightly. Many trial participants didn't take it seriously before, thinking they could control it with their own abilities. But without exception, they all had bad endings, and some even ended up with their covenants destroyed and people killed. Composite-attribute light energy is different from dual-attribute light energy. The two attributes of dual-attribute light energy are separate, and that kind of light energy is easier to control. Padparadscha is composite-attribute light energy, which cannot be separated at all. Unless your covenant is also of this composite attribute, something will inevitably go wrong. Otherwise, do you think that Baoguang Pavilion would only sell a top-level super-spiritual gem like this for 3 billion?"

“I’ve already bought it, so let’s try it first.” Li Xiu didn’t care at all. For a super spiritual gem like this produced on Earth, every time one is used, one is gone, and he didn’t know if he would have the chance to get it again in the future.

Even if I can't use the forbidden spear, it will come in handy in the future, so I won't lose money at this price.

"You can give it a try. If you can't use it, it's better to go to Baoguang Pavilion and see if you can return it." Jiuxiaoyun said.

"That's not necessary." Li Xiu shook his head. He guessed that the old immortal was waiting for him to return the goods. If he wanted to return the goods, he would have to deal with the matter of the old immortal's son, and Li Xiu didn't want to do that.

Jiu Xiaoyun also knew about this kind of thing. Once it was sold, it would not be easy to return it, and there was no better way.

Li Xiu returned to his room, closed the door, and took out the Padparadscha super gemstone.

The beautiful color is truly stunning, and the light and shadow of the lotus inside the gem is even more breathtakingly beautiful.

"Let's give it a try." Li Xiu summoned the Forbidden Spear and placed the Super Spirit Gem on the Forbidden Spear.

Bang!

There was a sudden explosion of light between the Forbidden Spear and the Super Spiritual Gem, and both were blown to the side. It was obvious that the Forbidden Spear could not absorb the light energy of the Super Spiritual Gem.

Li Xiu was just a little disappointed, but he didn't think it was a big deal. Fortunately, the forbidden spear was not damaged, so he took it back directly.

"It's a good gem, I can only collect it for now." Li Xiu picked up the super spiritual gem and was about to put it away, but the Fire Lotus Sword on his waist suddenly popped out automatically and stabbed into the super spiritual gem.

The tip of the Fire Lotus Sword actually pierced in and directly came into contact with the lotus light and shadow inside. The light energy in the Super Spiritual Gem immediately rushed into the Fire Lotus Sword, causing the Fire Lotus Sword to shine brightly, and the sword light bloomed layer by layer like lotus petals.

"This thing can actually be used... but your super spirit limit is already 99%... isn't this a waste?" Li Xiu frowned slightly.

But since this was the case, Li Xiu did not forcibly pull out the Fire Lotus Sword.

No matter what, the Fire Lotus Sword can be considered his first contract. Although its original quality was relatively ordinary, it was not easy to evolve to this level, and it is worthy of this super spiritual gem.

As the light energy of the Super Spirit Gem was absorbed, the light of the Fire Lotus Sword gradually changed from golden red to lotus color, and the sword body also underwent strange changes.

The sword body, which was thinner than paper, trembled and twisted, and actually split into sword blades. Those sword blades intertwined together and turned into a sword lotus, floating in front of Li Xiu, constantly emitting sword lights like petals.

Fire Lotus Sword: Parasitic Contract.

Level: Light-based.

Quality: Brilliant.

Original embryo quality: 61.

Super Spiritual Upper Limit: 100%.

Light Pulse: None.

Innate skills: Fire Lotus Sword Spirit, Fire Lotus Life, Fire Lotus Sword in the Furnace, Fire Lotus Body Protecting Sword Light, Fire Lotus Sword Intent.

"It has been upgraded to light base!" Li Xiu was very impressed. A super spiritual gem could upgrade the Fire Lotus Sword to light base, which was worth it.

However, the Fire Lotus Sword has not yet been able to condense light veins, apparently due to insufficient energy. More energy is needed to condense light veins. As for how many light veins it can condense, that depends on its own potential.

Qis are different from humans. How many light veins they can condense depends on their own talents.

This is true for most demons as well. Generally speaking, the number of light veins that can be condensed is already determined.

However, Li Xiu has been studying this issue recently. Since the big white dog wants to seize the "Jade Emperor Sutra", it means that the evil spirit should also be able to increase the light veins through the method of condensing light.

Li Xiu has been delaying the promotion of the Jedi Knights to light bases, because he is wondering whether he can let the Jedi Knights also use the method of condensing light.

However, the body of a demon is different from that of a human after all. Li Xiu did not dare to directly experiment with the light-seeking method on a Jedi Knight, so this matter has never been carried out.

Li Xiu's mind moved, and the Fire Lotus Sword, which had turned into a fire lotus, returned to its original state and returned to Li Xiu's hands.

"I wonder if I can go and take a look at the Land of Sword Soul. The Fire Lotus Sword should be able to obtain a large amount of light energy there to condense light veins." Li Xiu looked at the Fire Lotus Sword in his mind and thought of the things mentioned in the resources of the Land of Sword Soul.

Unfortunately, as the chief, it is impossible for him to guard the Sword Soul Gate all the time. Not to mention seven years, even seven months is impossible. At most he can stay there for a while.

However, the Sword Soul Gate is not an ordinary trial gate. Except for the people guarding the Sword Soul Gate, Changshengtian does not allow anyone else to enter casually, which is a bit troublesome.

After wrapping the Fire Lotus Sword back around his waist, Li Xiu started to worry about money again. Now he had neither the money nor the super spiritual gem. How could he make the forbidden spear super spiritual?

"Chief Executive, Vice President Han sent someone to invite you over." Sha Chu came over and knocked on the door.

"What does she want from me?" Li Xiu frowned slightly.

"I don't know. The person who came didn't say. He just said that a task was assigned to the technician team." Sha Chu had already asked, but the person who came was not very clear.

Personnel transfers and task allocations were within Han Minghui's authority, and Li Xiu couldn't refuse, so he had to follow the visitor to meet Han Minghui.

"Director Li, please take a seat." Han Minghui had a smile on her face. She didn't look as cold as before, but seemed a little more friendly.

"I wonder if Vice President Han has anything to assign to our technician team?" Li Xiu asked directly, too lazy to act with Han Minghui.

Han Minghui made tea and poured it for Li Xiu. She smiled and said, "Recently, several trial gates need to be rotated. In addition to the original guarding group, the other groups need to be assigned. The technician group was assigned to two trial gates. Chief Li, please see who needs to be sent to guard, and then give me the list of guards so that I can register it."

Li Xiu took the resources and took a look. The two trial gates allocated to the technician team were the "Gate of Flying Sky" and the "Gate of Great Sound".

Li Xiu had never heard of these two trial gates before, so he could only study the information carefully first.

Han Minghui sat behind the tea table, slowly making tea for herself and drinking it. She didn't rush Li Xiu and looked very patient.

After Li Xiu finished reading the information about the two trial gates, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

The danger levels of these two trial gates are not low. In recent years, light-based demons have tried to break out. In the past three months, there have been super spirits that have attacked the trial gates.

"Vice President Han, are the risk levels of the trial gates assigned to other groups the same as that of our technician group?" Li Xiu put down the information, looked at Han Minghui and asked.

"The risk levels are different, and they are rotated according to the schedule. No matter which group it is, they will have to guard the place in the future. It is only a matter of time." Han Minghui said.

Li Xiu sneered inwardly. Han Minghui's words seemed fair, but in fact they were not so fair. The risk level of the trial gates given to other groups might not be so high.

"Since it's only a matter of time, please ask Vice President Han to make the replacement. Our technician team is short-handed right now and temporarily unable to guard these two trial gates. We'll arrange it later." Li Xiu said.

"I'm really sorry. The rotation table has already been approved by the president and cannot be changed. If President Li really wants to change it, he can go to the president. As long as the president agrees, I will change it for you immediately." Han Minghui said.
