Chapter 302: Emerald Cell



"My name is Li Ming'er." Li Ming'er said with a smile before Li Xiu could speak.

"Super intelligent demon spirit!" Chu Jun suddenly stared at Li Ming'er with his eyes wide open, his eyeballs almost popping out.

Humanoid monsters are not uncommon, but monsters that can speak human language and have such high IQs are extremely rare, not to mention that Li Ming'er is also unusually beautiful.

"Please call me Li Ming'er." Li Ming'er said unhappily.

"Li Ming'er, what level of demon spirit are you?" Chu Jun looked at Li Ming'er and asked. He didn't care whether Li Ming'er was pretty or not. He just wanted to know what level Li Ming'er was that could make the Flame Gem Dragon so afraid of her.

"Guess." Li Ming'er said with blinking eyes.

"Soul casting?" Chu Jun guessed.

"Guess again." Li Ming'er said with a smile.

"No way!" Chu Jun didn't guess further, but looked at Li Xiu jealously and said: "How come you have such good magic luck..."

"Okay, let's talk later. I'm a little hungry and want to eat something first." Li Xiu pointed at Lao Bai and said, "This is Lao Bai. He will live with us from now on. Arrange a room for him."

"Sha Chu hasn't come back yet. There are leftovers in the kitchen. You can eat something. I'll go clean up the room for Lao Bai." Chu Jun said.

Li Xiu had no choice but to go to the kitchen to get some food and ate something with Lao Bai.

"Brother Xiu, where do I live?" Li Ming'er asked after Li Xiu finished eating.

"Come with me first." Li Xiu said.

Li Ming'er's face turned slightly red. She said nothing and followed Li Xiu into his room.

Li Xiu walked towards the bedroom as soon as he entered the room, then started to lift the quilt. Li Ming'er followed behind him, her face becoming increasingly red.

"Ming'er, do you recognize this?" Li Xiu indeed found the tablet of the God of Death in the **. He held the tablet in front of Li Ming'er and asked.

Li Ming'er was slightly startled, and then she carefully looked at the tablet of the God of Death. After a while, she said, "It looks like the tablet of the God of Death on our Changsheng Island, but it's a little different."

"Different? What's different?" Li Xiu was a little surprised.

He also thought that the tablet of the God of Death was one of the two tablets of longevity that the Demon General brought out from the Longevity Island. After hearing what Li Ming'er said, it didn't seem that simple.

Li Ming'er took the tablet of the God of Death and said as he looked at it, "The tablet of immortality on the Changsheng Island is not that magical. It can only store a wisp of soul. If the real body dies outside, the soul can continue to survive. If there is a suitable body, the soul can be transferred into the body, which can be regarded as resurrecting."

"In fact, the reason why the immortality tablet is so magical is mainly because of the immortality created by the immortal meat and the reincarnation egg." Li Ming'er looked at Li Xiu and said, "The regeneration and self-healing abilities of the creatures that have eaten the immortal meat and the reincarnation egg will far exceed those of ordinary creatures. They will age very slowly and recover quickly from injuries, making people mistakenly believe that they have immortal bodies. Coupled with the ability of the immortality tablet to store soul fragments, people will mistakenly believe that they have immortal bodies, but in fact they will still die."

Li Ming'er placed the tablet of the God of Death on the table, looked around and said, "At first glance, this tablet looks very similar to the tablet of longevity, but the tablet of longevity should have the birth date of the holder on it, which is something that will inevitably appear after the spirit is left on the tablet of longevity, but this one does not have the birth date. However, there is a name on it, which means it has been used. If it is a real tablet of longevity, it must have a name and birth date, which is obviously different."

"Legend has it that a general from the Demon Kingdom once created two immortality tablets on the Changsheng Island. Is this true?" Li Xiu pondered.

"I heard that this is the case." Li Ming'er said after thinking for a moment.

"I heard that you haven't met the general of the Demon Kingdom?" Li Xiu looked at Li Ming'er puzzledly.

Li Ming'er said coquettishly: "That was a long time ago. I was only born more than 20 years ago. How could I have ever seen that Demon Country general?"

"You have only been born for more than 20 years?" Li Xiu looked at Li Ming'er in a daze. He thought that Li Ming'er only looked young, but was actually a demon spirit who had lived for who knows how many years.

After all, creatures like demons rarely have a clear aging cycle like humans, so it is difficult to tell how long a demon has lived.

"What do you think?" Li Ming'er seemed to see through Li Xiu's thoughts and said with a curled lip: "Brother Xiu, you don't think I'm an old monster who has lived for thousands of years, do you?"

"How could that be?" Li Xiu quickly denied: "A young and beautiful demon like you can be seen at a glance that you are very young."

Although Li Ming'er could see that Li Xiu was not sincere, she did not expose him. She just said, "I have heard about the Demon Country's general taking away the immortality tablet, but this tablet should not be one of the two immortality tablets."

"Why are you so sure?" Li Xiu asked.

"Each longevity tablet has a corresponding number, but this one doesn't have one." Li Ming'er looked at the tablet and said, "Brother Xiu, where did you get this tablet? Except for the lack of a number and birth date, it really looks like a longevity tablet, almost exactly the same."

"Have you heard of the Black Death City?" Li Xiu pondered.

"Never heard of it." Li Ming'er shook her head.

"That's strange. I found this tablet in a room in the Black Death City." Li Xiu said.

"Is there a spirit in this tablet?" Li Ming'er asked after thinking for a while.

"There should be." Li Xiu was not sure whether the things inside the tablet of the God of Death could be considered as a spirit.

"That's really strange." Li Ming'er couldn't explain it.

"If that's not the case, forget it. You can stay here first." Li Xiu said, pointing to his room.

"Is this okay?" Li Ming'er blushed slightly.

"Don't worry, I still have to go guard the Sword Soul Gate, and I won't be back in a short time. The east and west rooms in the yard are full, and there are no other empty rooms. You can live here for the time being, and tell me if you need anything. You can go out, but you must have someone to accompany you when you go out. I'll tell Ah Fei later, and when you want to go out, let her accompany you." Li Xiu said and walked out of the room.

Li Xiu had something on his mind, so he didn't say much to Li Ming'er. After leaving the room, he went to Ximen Guan.

"Old official, please help me take a look at this thing." Li Xiu took out the gold coin and showed it to Ximen Guan.

"It's just a gold coin, not a gem or magic material. Why are you showing it to me? I don't like collecting antique coins." The old official took it, looked at it, and said indifferently.

"Can you help me test whether there is any energy in this gold coin?" Li Xiu wanted to know whether this gold coin could still be used.

The last time the magic mace was broken, Han Linger disappeared directly after the spiritual consciousness left in it was consumed.

Although this gold coin was not damaged, the Han Dad inside was only a wisp of will after all. It was impossible for him to recover the consumed energy like a real person. Han Dad's will had launched such a terrifying attack that perhaps all the energy in the gold coin had been consumed.

Li Xiu just wanted to know whether there was still any energy in this gold coin. If there was, maybe it could be used to save his life. If not, then it could only be regarded as a souvenir.

"Are you crazy? What kind of energy can be stored in a gold coin? It's not a gem." Ximen Guan said this, but still took the gold coin for testing.

Ximen Guan just made a casual check at first, but after seeing the data results, he was surprised and did several more tests with other instruments.

"How is it? How much energy is left in it?" Seeing that the old official checked so carefully, Li Xiu thought there was still hope.

"What energy? There is no energy inside." The old official shook his head.

"Not at all?" Li Xiu continued to ask without giving up.

"Not at all." The old official pondered, "But the material of this gold coin is a bit strange. It is not gold, nor is it a known metal. It also does not look like a magic material. Where did you get this thing from?"

"No more energy? Forget it." Li Xiu was a little disappointed. If he had the protection of Han Dad in the gold coins, he could walk around the Demon Kingdom freely without having to be so cautious.

"The material of this gold coin is somewhat special. Leave it with me and I will study it. Maybe I can use it to make magic armor." said the old official.

Li Xiu took it back, put it back on his neck, and said casually: "I can't give this to you. This is a gift from my sister. I have to keep it."

The old official did not force it. After all, it was just a somewhat special material and he did not care.

"By the way, old official, please check my body again." Li Xiu said after putting away the gold coins.

"A physical examination? What's the point of a physical examination? You are not injured. A trial-taker of your level cannot get sick, right?" The old official looked Li Xiu up and down.

Li Xiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he directly pulled out the Fire Lotus Sword, stretched out his white arm, and cut a deep cut on it, and blood immediately flowed out.

"Look at this." Li Xiu brought his wound closer to the old official so that he could take a closer look.

The old official looked at Li Xiu's wound carefully and waited for a long time. The wound was still bleeding.

"What do you mean?" He didn't understand what was going on, nor did he know what Li Xiu wanted him to see. He couldn't help but look at Li Xiu in confusion.

Li Xiu's face turned a little ugly. Due to excessive blood loss, his face turned as pale as paper.

"It's nothing. I've been feeling a little hot lately, as if there's too much blood. I want to let some of it out to cool down." Li Xiu quickly summoned the forbidden gun and shot his wound, then turned and left without waiting for Ximen Guan to speak.

"Bleeding...cool down...what a ruthless man. Geniuses are always different." Looking at Li Xiu's departing back, Ximen Guan sighed at the uniqueness of geniuses.

Li Xiu now had the urge to curse. He had clearly eaten the immortality meat and the reincarnation egg. Li Ming'er said that such a body would have strong regenerative and self-healing abilities, but in the end it was all useless and he was still exactly the same as before.

"Could it be that the immortality meat and reincarnation eggs that Lao Bai gave me to eat were fake?" Li Xiu immediately returned to Yard No. 7 and found Lao Bai.

Lao Bai, who was cleaning the room, heard what Li Xiu said and said in surprise, "That's impossible. The immortality meat and reincarnation egg were taken from the Changsheng Palace. Over the past few thousand years, many demons who entered Changsheng Island have eaten them. Including myself, we all gained immortality. How could they be useless?"

"Could it be that it has been stored for too long and has expired?" Li Xiu pondered.

"What do you think the immortal meat and reincarnation eggs are? They are rare things bred in the Longevity Island, not ordinary beef and eggs. How could they expire? You really haven't obtained immortality?" Lao Bai looked at Li Xiu with some suspicion.

Li Xiu didn't want to waste time talking to him, so he just drew out the Fire Lotus Sword and struck himself with the sword again.

But this time Li Xiu learned his lesson and could only lightly cut his finger. If he bled again like before, he would probably faint from the excessive blood loss.

Lao Bai looked at the wound on Li Xiu's hand that was slowly bleeding and showed no signs of healing. He couldn't help but frown and said, "This shouldn't be the case. You've already eaten the immortal meat and the reincarnation egg, so you should have gained immortality. Why doesn't it seem to have any effect at all? This shouldn't be the case. If you hadn't gained immortality, you wouldn't have been able to withstand the special taboos of Changsheng Island when you were there, and you should have died a long time ago."

Li Xiu felt that Lao Bai should not have lied to him. The evil King Luo said the same thing at that time. Only by eating the immortal meat and the immortal egg and possessing an immortal body could one survive there.

In fact, he survived, but he was not immortal.

Lao Bai didn't understand what was going on. Li Xiu suspected that it was the young demon in his body that was causing trouble, so he had to give up.

When Sha Chu came back, he brought Li Xiu good news. The first payment of technology usage fee paid by the Chu family had arrived, which amounted to more than 3 billion Changsheng coins.

This is just one year's technology usage fee, and there will be more every year in the future. The more new types of torture equipment the Chu family produces, the more technology usage fees they will get.

"Finally I have money." Li Xiu was overjoyed. He directly made a long list and asked Sha Chu to go shopping in bulk, listing all the gems he needed.

A batch of food rations for the demons that needed to be cultivated were bought and stored, and the cultivation of the White Night female demon was officially put on the agenda.

Of course, the bride-to-be couldn't be let down, so there were plenty of rubies.

The rations of Cupid Archer, Black Death Lord, and Masked Emperor have also been upgraded a bit, even though they are fed with flawless gems.

Li Xiu naturally would not treat himself badly, so he bought a batch of magic cores so that he could absorb light energy from the super bottle and cultivate his own light seeds.

It was three days later when Li Xiu entered the Land of Sword Soul again.

The dungeon doors opened one after another. Li Changyin walked along the spiral staircase through the doors and arrived at the deepest cell underground.

This cell is very strange, the entire wall is made of jade.

In fact, it is not just this wall. The entire cell is cut from a whole piece of huge jade, like a huge jade box.

Above the emerald cell, there is a transparent glass-like crystal inlaid. It is only as big as a plate and blends perfectly with the surrounding emerald.

There is a spotlight above the emerald cell. The light shines through the crystal into the emerald cell, and you can see a person sitting in the cell.

It was a middle-aged man with ordinary looks, sitting there cross-legged, with the spotlight shining right on him.

The man is not good-looking. If you see him on the street, you may forget him in a blink of an eye.

But such a person, imprisoned in such a place, no matter how ordinary he is, it is hard to forget after seeing it.

Li Changyin came to the outside of the jade cell and stood there for a long time, just looking at the cell without saying a word.

"Now that you're here, what are you standing there for?" the man in the emerald cell said with a smile.

"I'm waiting." Li Changyin said to the wall.

"Waiting for what?" the man asked.

"Waiting for you to speak." Li Changyin said lightly.

"I've already said what you wanted to hear," the man said.

"Then tell me something I don't want to hear." Li Changyin was unmoved and said slowly.

"Okay." The man smiled and continued, "If you let me out, you and the Li family, and even the entire Changshengtian will be finished. I will peel off your skin, dig out your internal organs, drink your blood, eat your flesh, kill all ten of your clans, and wipe out your entire family."

Although it was vicious words, Li Changyin was not angry at all, and said lightly: "Go on."

"No more." The man just uttered two words slowly.

"Is this all your hatred is?" Li Changyin sneered.

"I have thought of a lot of vicious words before, but now I have almost forgotten them. These are the only words I can remember," said the man.

"So you want to tell me that you don't hate me anymore?" Li Changyin said.

"No, it's just because I hate you too much. The hatred has been integrated into my flesh and blood. No words can express my hatred for you. So why should I remember those useless words?" The man said lightly.

Li Changyin laughed: "Hate it to the bone? It seems that you really hate it to the core."

"I don't just hate it so much, I'm simply mad at it." The man said slowly.

"In that case, come on." Li Changyin said, raising his hand. A sword appeared in his hand and he slashed at the emerald cell.

The sword light was like a rainbow, and it split the emerald cell directly into two halves. The huge emerald cell fell to both sides and shattered into pieces.

The man did not stand up, but remained sitting there, squinting his eyes at Li Changyin and said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"I'm afraid, but death won't be late just because I'm afraid." Li Changyin walked in front of the man and swung the sword in his hand.

Snap! Snap!

He cut off the jade rings that were locked on the man's waist and leg bones. The man was completely free again and stood up to move his hands and feet.

Only after he stood up could you see that his body proportions were extremely exaggerated. His legs were longer than his head and body combined, and were obviously very slender. His muscles were very well developed, and he looked strong and powerful.

"How do you want to die?" After the man moved his hands and feet, he stared at Li Changyin coldly and said.
