"Is there something wrong with this thing?" Li Xiu's eyebrows jumped. The evil king's tone didn't sound good.

"It's more than just a problem. Tell me quickly, where did you get this thing from?" King Evil Luo said anxiously.

"I found this three-legged pottery jar from the ancient gold chest of the Demon Kingdom in Tiantong City. What on earth is it?" Li Xiu briefly recounted the origin of the object.

"You said this thing is inside the ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom?" King Evil Luo asked hurriedly.

"Yes, at least I saw it after opening the ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom. As for whether it was in the ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom before, I don't know." Li Xiu said.

The Evil King seemed to be slightly relieved: "If it was in the ancient gold chest of the Demon Kingdom, perhaps the things inside are gone, and you and I may have escaped."

After a pause, King Evil Luo continued, "This is a spirit urn, something from the bottomless pit. Generally speaking, it should only exist in the deepest part of the bottomless pit and will not appear in the outside world."

"Something from the bottomless pit? Could it be used to seal evil spirits?" Li Xiu guessed.

"If it is just something used to seal the evil spirits, it would be fine. This thing is also a taboo in the bottomless pit. It only exists in the deepest part of the bottomless pit. It has long been listed as a restricted area by the king of the bottomless pit. No living creature is allowed to enter, for fear that an evil spirit will accidentally collide with the spirit jar and cause a disaster."

King Evil Luo sighed and said, "No one knows the origin of the spirit jar. Legend has it that before the demon spirits appeared in the bottomless pit, the spirit jar was already in the deepest part of the bottomless pit. Those demon spirits who accidentally entered it and touched the spirit jar all died in the end without exception, even the existence of the god level was not spared. But I heard that each spirit jar will only kill one living being, and will not harm people again. Since this spirit jar is placed in the ancient gold box of the Demon Kingdom, it is obvious that humans or demon spirits have touched it. Maybe now this spirit jar will not harm people. Of course, I have only heard these, and it is hard to say whether it is true. The best way now is to ask that adult to get rid of the spirit jar."

The person that the evil King Luo was talking about was naturally Li Xiu's sister Han Ling'er. It was a pity that Li Xiu didn't know where Han Ling'er was now, so he couldn't find her even if he wanted to.

"What else do you know about the spirit jar?" Li Xiu asked calmly. He would naturally not tell the evil King Luo that he couldn't find Han Ling'er at all.

"There is not much information about the Spirit Urn, because most of the demons who have come into contact with it have died, and no one is willing to touch such an evil and deadly thing..." King Evil Luo pondered for a moment and continued, "But I once heard a god-level demon who had stayed in the Bottomless Cave say that the Bottomless Cave would worship the Spirit Urn every once in a while, because the king of the Bottomless Cave believed that the Spirit Urn contained the corpse of the true god and was the burial place of the true god after his death. The soul of the true god is immortal, so the soul of the true god without a physical body will live forever in the Spirit Urn. As long as you can get the favor of the true god, you may be able to become a real god from a god."

"It's just that the bottomless pit has not produced any true gods over the years. I guess those are just speculations and legends. If there really are true gods, they are omnipotent. How could they die physically and trap their souls in spirit jars?"

"I don't know whether there is the soul of the true God in the spirit urn, but just now I poked the holes with a steel wire, and the steel wire went in for two hundred meters and still didn't reach the end. It seems like there is a strange space inside." Li Xiu repeated his previous test.

"It seems that this spirit jar must have killed someone before, otherwise you would have died long ago if you had done that to me, and wouldn't be alive today." After hearing this, King Eluo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Has your demon friend from the bottomless pit ever told you how to deal with the spirit urn?" Li Xiu asked while looking at the spirit urn.

"I haven't heard him mention this before." The evil king pondered, "But I think it's best not to keep this kind of evil thing around me."

"I can't just give it away to someone, right? That would hurt others." Li Xiu thought for a moment and said, "If I just throw it away somewhere, what if it finds its way back?"

"That's a problem." King Evil Luo pondered for a long time and said, "In fact, we can send it back to the bottomless pit. This should be the safest way."

Li Xiu pretended not to hear this suggestion. Although the capital of the bottomless pit was gone, it did not mean that the bottomless pit was a place where anyone could go. There must be other gods and demons there. He did not want to go to such a place just because of sending a jar.

Even if he really wants to go, he has to wait until he is promoted to godhood.

"If it really doesn't work, next time take the spirit urn to a trial site where no humans go and bury it somewhere. That way, even if it wants to cause trouble in the future, it won't be able to harm anyone."

The evil King Luo repeatedly warned Li Xiu to get rid of the spirit jar as soon as possible to prevent any accidents from happening, as this thing was truly too evil.

Li Xiu thought about it and decided to look at the information first, find a trial-taker who would not go to the trial, and throw him in.

Li Xiu has been refusing to see guests, which has made those Soul-Forging-level bosses very anxious. When Han Minghui and others came to Yard No. 7 to find Li Xiu, they were turned away by Lao Jia.

They all recognized Lao Jia. When they saw Lao Jia guarding the gate of Yard No. 7, they were all shocked. They did not dare to force their way into Yard No. 7 and were secretly guessing things in their hearts.

There had been rumors before that Li Xiu was the president's illegitimate son, and the president's personal gatekeeper had actually appeared at Courtyard No. 7 to guard the gate, which seemed to confirm the rumor.

"I don't know why Li Xiu is so lucky. He bought an ancient gold box and unexpectedly got a divine gem. Liu He also opened an ancient gold box and got a box of underwear. Who can I complain to?" Sun Tianlei muttered.

"Tianlei, you have dealt with Chief Li before. Find a way to meet him and find out whether he is willing to sell the divine gem." Sun Tianbing said.

"My brother, Li Xiu just bought me a few gems, and there were some unpleasant things in between. You asked me to go find him, but it would be better for you to go find him yourself." Sun Tianlei said.

"You know I'm not good at talking. You're better at this kind of thing, so just let you do it." Sun Tianbing said.

"You never thought of me for good things, but you came to me for such a bad thing. I don't even want to see the heads of other families, so why should I see you?" Sun Tianlei said with his eyes wide open.

"You are my brother, so who else should I look for if not you?" Sun Tianbing said calmly.

Sun Tianlei was so choked up that he couldn't speak. After a long while, he said depressedly: "Okay, I'll go find him. If he doesn't want to see me, then it's not my fault."

Then he changed the subject: "If... I mean if Li Xiu is willing to sell it... what are you going to use to buy the Godly Gem? I've only heard of that thing, and no one knows how much it's worth. You have to tell me a number first. What if I really meet Li Xiu and he asks me how much I'm going to pay for it? I can't just come back and ask, right?"

Sun Tianbing said: "The value of the God's Throne Gem is inestimable and cannot be measured by money. If Li Xiu is willing to give it, I am willing to exchange it for six Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits. If he disagrees, you can tell him that you can add something else."

“Six Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits, you are really willing to give them up... Brother... This is not the way you negotiate business... Forget it... Just tell me the truth, and I will deal with the rest according to circumstances..." Sun Tianlei said speechlessly.

“The most valuable thing I have is the six Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits. Each of them can allow a weapon-type contract to be promoted to the Soul Casting level. The value of six of them is not low. But if Li Xiu is still not satisfied, I can give him anything I have here, or whatever he wants, as long as I can get it, I can agree to it.” Sun Tianbing said.

"Brother, you really don't know how to do business." Sun Tianlei sighed.

He knew too well the value of those Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits. In the Divine Weapon Garden, a trial site controlled by the Sun family, there was a gem tree with Divine Weapon Fruits growing on it. There were a total of thirty-six of them, and each one could upgrade a weapon's contract from light-based to spirit-casting. Its value was unimaginable.

Having these Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits is equivalent to having a soul-casting level trialist.

The Sun family has very few strong people at the Light Base level. That's because once someone in the Sun family is promoted to the Light Base level, they can use the Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruit to advance to the Soul Forging level, so the time at the Light Base level is very short.

The Sun family does not lack Soul-Forging Level people, but they lack Light-Base Level people. If they cannot be promoted to Light-Base Level, it is useless to have those Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits, so there are actually not many Soul-Forging Level people alive in the Sun family.

In the previous few decades, the Sun family used the Tiangang Divine Weapon Fruits themselves, and gave them away as favors. By the time Sun Tianbing got his hands, there were only six of them left.

At the Li family, Li Xianchun was checking the accounts in his hands, and his brows furrowed more and more as he looked.

"It doesn't matter that Li Changyin made a fuss. Many of our Li family's original properties have been taken back by the president. Now the annual income that the Li family can obtain is less than 30% of what it used to be." Li Guijia, an old slave at the side, sighed.

"There's nothing we can do about it. If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. The president has been merciful by not wiping out our Li family." Li Xianchun said.

"Li Changyin did something wrong, but he wants the entire Li family to pay for it. And Li Zhong is a man who is devoted to seeking the truth and only knows how to ask for money and resources. I just think that your life is too difficult," said Li Guijia.

Li Xianchun was unwilling to say more. He looked at the account and pondered for a long time before saying, "Old Jia, are those things in my Li family's inner storehouse still there?"

"A part of them were destroyed by Li Changyin. There are seven pieces left, three of which are still sealed. Only four can be used..." Li Guitian listed them all.

"If I use those four things to exchange for the divine gem, will Li Xiu agree?" Li Xianchun said softly.

“This… I don’t know… Although those four things are rare treasures in the world and have magical effects, they cannot be used to ascend to the god level after all. The god level gem is a treasure that can actually allow the soul casting to ascend to the god level…”

"No matter what, we have to give it a try. Guard Yard No. 7. Once Li Xiu comes out, notify me immediately." Li Xianchun said with a burning gaze.

Although his rank is not as high as Li Zhong's and he is still just a bare-bones person, the Li family doesn't have many capable people now, so he has to be the head of the family.

However, the reason why Li Xianchun's level is not high is not because of his lack of talent, but because the family resources were previously in the hands of the two brothers Li Changyin and Li Changmian. He and the two brothers have always been at odds, and the resources he can get are limited, so he has not been promoted to spirit casting until now.

Therefore, Li Xianchun was confident that as long as he could obtain the divine gem, with the help of the Li family's resources, he could be promoted to the Soul Casting in a short period of time, and then the Soul Casting could use the divine gem to impact the divine throne.

Even if all the resources of the Li family are used up, as long as he can be promoted to the position of god, the Li family will have a better life in the future.

Naturally, Li Xianchun was not the only one who had this idea. Many families were deliberately trying to contact Li Xiu to find out if he was willing to sell the divine gem, but no one could meet Li Xiu.

Liu He and Han Minghui had come several times, but were blocked outside the door by Lao Jia and did not see any sign of Li Xiu at all.

Although everyone knew that the probability of Li Xiu being willing to sell the Divine Gem was very slim, no one would be willing to give it up as long as the Divine Gem was not used.

"Who?" Jiu Xiaoyun was walking in the alley and suddenly looked back. He saw a figure standing not far behind him, but the person's body seemed to be wrapped in a mist, and he could not see the other person's shape and face clearly.

"You're playing tricks in front of your grandfather. I think you're tired of living." Jiu Xiaoyun stared at the man and said.

"Please don't misunderstand me, I am here to cooperate with you to do a big deal." said the mysterious man.

"Do you think I will cooperate with someone like you who doesn't even dare to show his face?" Jiu Xiaoyun said disdainfully.

"Take a look at this first." The misty man threw something over.

Jiu Xiaoyun saw that it was a bead. After taking a closer look, he was shocked: "A casting spirit bead?"

"This is just the deposit for the deal. You will get ten times the reward after the deal is done." The misty man said in a deep voice.

"You want me to steal Li Xiu's divine gem." Jiu Xiaoyun was not a fool. He had guessed what this man wanted to do. He snorted coldly, "Even if it's ten casting spirit beads, how can they be worth one divine gem?"

"The value of ten Soul Casting Orbs is indeed far less than that of the Divine Gemstones, and I don't have ten Soul Casting Orbs." The Mist Man said slowly, "This Soul Casting Orb is my only one. The tenfold reward I mentioned does not refer to the Soul Casting Orb."

"Oh, do you still want to bribe me with money?" Jiu Xiaoyun sneered.

"What does money mean to a family of thieves?" The man laughed. "What I can give you may be worthless to others, but to you, it may be more precious than ten or even a hundred soul-casting beads."

"Now that you say that, I'm really curious. What exactly are you talking about?" Jiu Xiaoyun asked the man with interest.

"Warrior Star." The Mist Man slowly said these four words.

When Jiu Xiaoyun heard the words "Warrior Star", his expression changed slightly.

The Mist Man continued, "Your family has been searching for the Warrior Star for generations. You should have gotten the other six Warrior Stars, right? The only thing missing is the biggest one. Am I right?"

"Who are you?" Jiuxiaoyun stared at the mist man.

"You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know what this is." The Mist Man stretched out his hand, in which was a cat's eye gem the size of an egg. There was a ray of light in the gem like a cat's vertical pupil. Against the backdrop of that light, the golden-green gem looked strange and beautiful.

"Cat's Eye No. 1!" Jiu Xiaoyun immediately recognized what it was.

Just like what the Mist Man said, his family has been looking for this gem for generations, so how could they not recognize it?

This cat's eye gem, Cat's Eye No. 1, also known as Warrior Star, has extraordinary significance for Jiu Xiaoyun and his entire family.

"Help me get the divine gem, and this warrior star will be yours." The Mist Man said, holding the gem.

"Instead of taking the risk of stealing the divine gem, why don't I steal the Warrior Star from you? It will be easier." Jiu Xiaoyun said, staring at the Warrior Star.

"If you miss this opportunity, you will never know who I am again, and naturally you will never know the whereabouts of the Warrior Star. Even if it's ten or a hundred years, you, your family, and your descendants will never see it again." The Mist Man said with certainty.

“I’ve never believed in evil.” As he said that, Jiu Xiaoyun suddenly flashed and disappeared like a ghost. When he reappeared, he was already in front of the mist man and reached out to grab the Warrior Star in his hand.

Jiuxiaoyun saw that his fingers were about to touch the Warrior Star, but the man didn't react at all. He thought he was about to succeed, but when his fingers touched the Warrior Star, he found that it was just an afterimage.

The afterimage dissipated, and the mist man also disappeared. Only a voice echoed in Jiu Xiaoyun's ear: "The Soul Casting Orb will be your deposit. Bring back the Divine Position Gem, and the Warrior Star will be yours. Think about it carefully."

Jiuxiaoyun moved quickly and searched all around, but he didn't find any clues at all. With his tracking ability, he couldn't find any clues. It can be seen that the other party is a very scary person.

"It's just stealing the gem of the throne. I will steal Li Xiu's gem of the throne first, and then steal your warrior star. Only a fool would make a choice. I want them all." Jiu Xiaoyun secretly made up his mind.

In fact, he had no confidence in stealing Li Xiu's divine gem, because Jiu Xiaoyun had always wanted to steal his own blood seal stone back, but he couldn't find the blood seal stone that Li Xiu had hidden.

Jiu Xiaoyun had studied it for a long time before and knew that the blood-sealed stone was definitely not on Li Xiu, otherwise he would have discovered it long ago.

If it wasn't on Li Xiu, then the only place where Li Xiu could have hidden the Blood Seal Stone was Courtyard No. 7. He had lived in Courtyard No. 7 before, and he originally thought that since he was close to the water, he would be the first to get the moon, and it should be easy for him, a thief, to steal the Blood Seal Stone back.

But Jiuxiaoyun searched almost every place where things could be hidden, but still couldn't find his blood seal stone.

As a thief, Jiu Xiaoyun felt it was a shame. He knew clearly that the Blood Seal Stone was in Courtyard No. 7, but he just couldn't find it. This was simply an insult to his face as the heir of a family of thieves.

Jiuxiaoyun once swore that he would not be a human being until he found his blood-seal stone, but until now, he has not found it.

"The divine gem is such a precious thing. The place where Li Xiu hid it might be the place where the blood seal stone is hidden. This time I will steal them all back to let you know that I, Jiuxiaoyun, am not just a name for nothing." Jiuxiaoyun quickened his pace and hurried back to Yard No. 7.

Li Xiu originally planned to let the people in the next morning to have a talk and see if he could get anything good from them.

But when he woke up in the morning, he was shocked. The spirit urn that he had locked in an alloy box appeared in front of his bed at some point. In the hole on the urn, there were strange eyes staring at him.

Nine holes, nine eyes of different sizes, stared at Li Xiu from different positions without blinking. The black pupils and the white eyeballs were clearly defined, which was extremely strange.

"You... are already dead..." The strange voice seemed to come directly from Li Xiu's mind.
