Chapter 369: Gem in the Flower



The white light bullet was like an ice cube, and it shattered into pieces the moment it came into contact with the orange-red light column.

The orange-red beam of light hit the demon's chest in the broken white light, blowing its body away.

The beam of light pierced the sky diagonally with the body of the demon spirit until its chest was pierced. The beam of light continued to pass through the big hole in the demon spirit's chest without stopping and flew diagonally towards the sky until it disappeared.

After the orange-red beam of light completely passed through the big hole in the demon's chest and disappeared, the demon's body fell from the air and fell heavily into the mushroom jungle, crushing the mushrooms into pieces.

Han Minghui was stunned. She had planned for a long time and invited so many people, but she was not sure she could kill the demon spirit. In the end, she gave up the plan because of its mutation. However, it was killed by Li Xiu with just one shot. This was really hard for her to accept.

Wan Chaochun also looked at Li Xiu, who was carrying a huge cannon on his shoulder, with a complicated expression. He had just been promoted to the status of a god, but he actually possessed such terrifying power. It was really scary.

Jiu Xiaoyun opened his mouth so wide that he couldn't close it for a long time. A goose egg could be stuffed into his mouth.

Li Xiu himself was not surprised. He had just observed the power of the demon spirit and found that it was indeed stronger than the divine demon spirit he had killed before, but its strength was also very limited. The destructive power of its light energy was much weaker than that of the forbidden cannon.

Now Li Xiu is certain that his previous feeling that the forbidden light was not powerful was probably an illusion. The reason for the illusion was that Guan Jinghao was too strong, which invisibly improved his judgment of the overall strength of the gods and demons.

Now it seems that it’s not that the god-level forbidden spear is not powerful, but that Guan Jinghao is too outrageous.

"Chief Li is extremely powerful. He is now the second most powerful person in Changshengtian." Han Minghui came back to his senses and exclaimed in surprise and joy.

Li Xiu was so powerful that she felt fortunate that she had not really become an enemy of Li Xiu before, and she was also fortunate that she had obtained Li Xiu's promise.

Now Li Xiu's power is so terrifying that he can even kill the mutated demon spirits with one blow. The title of the second best person in Changshengtian is indeed Han Minghui's heartfelt words.

With the help of such a powerful Li Xiu, there is no need to worry about not being able to kill the god and get the gem. Even if that was just a clone, with the help of Li Xiu, killing the real body is only a matter of time.

"Let's go over there and take a look at the situation first." Li Xiu was not sure whether the one he had just killed was the real demon spirit.

The four people went towards the place where the demon fell. When they were still some distance away, they saw the white light on the demon's body gathering towards one place.

"It's the real body." Han Minghui was even more surprised, but also more wary of Li Xiu.

If Li Xiu had killed his clone with one shot, she would only think that Li Xiu was indeed very powerful. But now he killed his real body, leaving the mutated demon spirit with no chance to even use his clone. This was too horrible.

The four people came close to the demon's corpse and saw white light continuously pouring out of it, gathering and twisting in the air, and it seemed that it was about to form a real object.

Han Minghui couldn't help but pray secretly in her heart, hoping that it would be the divine gem.

Although she had already received intelligence and knew that the probability of the mutated divine demon spirit producing a divine gem was extremely high, she was still a little nervous before seeing the divine gem.

The light of truth condensed more and more, and the dazzling light made it impossible to look directly at it. When the light gradually weakened, Han Minghui saw that there were two objects floating in the center of the light.

Han Minghui could tell at a glance that one of them was the divine gem she had always dreamed of. The divine gem shone brightly with white light, without a trace of impurities, which made her excited face reveal a look of surprise like a girl.

At this time, Han Minghui finally let go of her worries.

"I finally got the divine gem, and I finally have the chance to be promoted to a god..." Han Minghui, whose mood gradually calmed down, noticed another thing. Upon seeing this, Han Minghui's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.

"Magic Ring... Fourth brother... Your luck is really unbeatable..." Wan Chaochun also saw clearly what the other thing was, and couldn't help but feel happy for Li Xiu.

The probability of a magic ring dropping is not much higher than a divine gem. If you own this magic ring, you will own a divine-level magic ring. I wonder how many trial-takers in Changshengtian will envy you for this.

That is a divine demon spirit. Even the heads of each group and the leaders of everyone want it in their dreams.

"I have to thank Vice President Han for this." Li Xiu stretched out his hand and directly sucked in the two objects that had completely lost their light and held them in his palm.

Han Minghui became worried again when she saw this, but fortunately Li Xiu only left the magic ring and threw the divine gem to Han Minghui.

Han Minghui received the Divine Gemstone and carefully put it away. Then he smiled and said to Li Xiu, "This is what you deserve, Chief Li. If I have to thank someone, it should be you. Without you, I would not be able to kill the mutant demon spirit, let alone get this Divine Gemstone."

Although Han Minghui also wanted the magic ring, she knew better that even if she was promoted to a god, she would probably not be a match for Li Xiu, not to mention that she had not yet been promoted to a god.

Han Minghui was already very satisfied to be able to use a mutated divine gem to ascend to the throne of god. From now on, the Han family's position in Changshengtian would be stable. At least before her death, the Han family would not have to worry about being replaced by other families.

Of course, Han Minghui is even more aware that Li Xiu's rise is inevitable. If Li Xiu is determined to fight for the position of the head of the family, it will be difficult for the Han family to become the head of the family in the future.

"Now that the matter here is over, I will leave first. Sister Chun, you go back first. We can talk again when I get back. I have a gift for you later." Li Xiu still had to go find another divine demon spirit, so he naturally couldn't just go back like this.

"Okay." Wan Chaochun nodded slightly.

"Chief, let me lead the way for you?" Jiu Xiaoyun seemed to want to speak but stopped, as if he had something to say.

"Okay." Li Xiu nodded and left with Jiu Xiaoyun.

After the two left, Han Minghui said to Wan Chaochun, "Sister Wan Chao, is it convenient for you to come over to my place?"

"Since Vice President Han has invited you, I naturally have time." Wan Chaochun said with a smile.

"I'd better call you Sister Chun. Don't call me vice president. It's more friendly to call me by my name." Han Minghui said.

"In that case, I will call you Minghui from now on." Wan Chaochun did not refuse.

She was a very capable person, so she naturally knew what Han Minghui was thinking.

Li Xiu's shot completely destroyed Han Minghui's spirit. Even though she was promoted to a god with this divine gem, she didn't dare to target Li Xiu again.

The reason why Han Minghui took the initiative to show her goodwill was naturally not because she was Wan Chaochun, but because she was Li Xiu's sworn sister.

"I didn't expect that I would benefit from my fourth brother again. When I first met him, he was just a mediocre trial-taker. It hasn't been long since then, but he has been promoted to the status of a god before me. My fourth brother is indeed a rare genius in the ages." Wan Chaochun sighed.

After Li Xiu and Jiu Xiaoyun walked away together, Jiu Xiaoyun finally couldn't help but speak up: "General, this time I am really convinced. How did you do it? You were promoted to the Godhood in such a short time. I have never heard of anyone in Changshengtian being promoted to the Godhood so quickly."

"From what you said, there is a god in Changshengtian?" Li Xiu asked.

"There were indeed some in the past, but except for the president, they are all dead." Jiu Xiaoyun said solemnly: "This is what I want to tell you. You should pay more attention to it."

"What do you mean?" Li Xiu frowned.

Jiu Xiaoyun lowered his voice and said, "I heard from my grandfather that Changshengtian had produced gods before, but at most one or two gods appeared at the same time. Later, those gods died for various reasons. There has never been more than four god-level masters in Changshengtian at the same time."

"You mean, someone is deliberately controlling the number of powerful gods?" Li Xiu understood.

Jiu Xiaoyun waved his hands and said, "I didn't say that. I just told you a fact I heard. As for what happened, I don't know. I'm only saying this here. Once I leave this door, I will never admit to saying these things."

"I see. You didn't say that, and I didn't hear it either," said Li Xiu.

In fact, Li Xiu had already had some doubts. The president was so powerful and had so much information about gods and demons. If he really wanted to cultivate god-level trial-takers, Changshengtian should not be in its current situation.

But in fact, except for the president, the four major families and the former six groups of Changshengtian do not even have a deity position.

Even if Jiuxiaoyun didn't say it, Li Xiu couldn't help but wonder whether the president was intentionally controlling the number of god-level trial-takers in Changshengtian.

"Chief, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about." Jiu Xiaoyun said again.

"Speak." Li Xiu nodded slightly.

"You have the Cat's Eye Gem, right? Can you sell it to me? I can pay a high price for it." Jiuxiaoyun said.

"You should know where the Cat's Eye is. Why don't you go get it yourself? Why buy it?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

Jiu Xiaoyun was shocked when he heard this, then smiled bitterly and said, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. Since you know everything, you should also know that I haven't found my blood seal stone, so how dare you steal the cat's eye."

"Do you want to know where your blood seal stone is?" Li Xiu said with a smile looking at Jiu Xiaoyun.

Jiu Xiaoyun quickly shook his head and said, "General, you don't need to test me. I already know the gap between you and me. It is my blessing to be able to follow you. I will not have any other thoughts."

"Do you know why you can't find the blood-sealed stone?" Li Xiu said lightly.

Jiu Xiaoyun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "To be honest, this is more puzzling to me than your rapid ascension to the throne of God. I dare not say that I am the best thief in the world, but I am also from a family of the best thieves, so I have some family heritage. When it comes to finding things, there should be few people in the world who are more professional than me. To be honest, I have looked everywhere I can, but I just can't find it. You are more expert than the experts, I am really convinced."

"I'm not an expert. This is your profession. If we compare professionalism with yours, I'm definitely not as good as you." Li Xiu said.

"Chief, please stop slapping me in the face." Jiu Xiaoyun said depressedly.

"I'm not as good as you in terms of professionalism, but you underestimated people's hearts." Li Xiu said.

"What do you mean?" Jiu Xiaoyun was slightly stunned.

"I have already erased your blood-seal stone a long time ago, so naturally you can't find it." Li Xiu said lightly.

"Erase it..." Jiu Xiaoyun was stunned there.

"You go back first, I have something else to do. Go get the Cat's Eye yourself." Li Xiu said and left alone, leaving Jiuxiaoyun standing there in a daze.

Jiuxiaoyun looked at the direction where Li Xiu left with a complicated expression, and was happy to hear that his blood seal stone was destroyed.

He finally realized where he lost, but because he knew where he lost, he lost more and more thoroughly.

He never dreamed that Li Xiu would actually erase his blood-seal stone. No wonder he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked.

But what if you think about it the other way around, Li Xiu didn't erase his blood-seal stone, he was just testing him?

Before Li Xiu told him, he still had a breath left, thinking that he must find the blood-seal stone that Li Xiu had hidden no matter what.

But now, he was in a dilemma. Whether he looked for it or not, he was in a dilemma. Now that he knew the answer, he became more confused than before.

"Sure enough, human hearts are more terrifying than any technology. I can steal anything, but I can't steal human hearts." Jiu Xiaoyun sighed and turned away.

Li Xiu told him to get the Cat's Eye himself, but now Jiu Xiaoyun really didn't dare to take it. Not to mention taking it, he was afraid that he would never dare to sneak to Li Xiu to investigate again. Unless he could be sure that Li Xiu really erased his blood seal stone, otherwise this inner demon would never be able to be shaken off.

Li Xiu followed the map route in his memory and left the Mushroom Forest. On the way, he encountered some monsters, but their levels were not high and they posed no threat to Li Xiu at all. They didn't drop anything useful, only some low-level magic cores, which were better than nothing.

After passing through the mushroom forest, a stone forest appeared in front of us. There were many columnar stones standing in front of us. Most of them were not very high, and few were over four meters. Most of them did not exceed one meter in diameter, but there were so many of them that it looked like a forest.

I don’t know how this stone forest landform was formed. There are all kinds of mushrooms everywhere outside the stone forest, but there is no grass inside the stone forest.

Li Xiu learned from the information that there were no other evil spirits in the stone forest, only the god-level evil spirit was lurking there.

After walking around one stone pillar after another for about twenty or thirty miles, we saw a relatively large stone in front of us.

The stone was more than 20 meters long and lay horizontally in the stone forest, like a sleeping black beast.

There is a cave entrance at the bottom of one side of the giant stone. According to the records in the book, the divine demon spirit lives in the cave.

Li Xiu's mind moved, the ultimate light was activated, and he entered the stone cave invisibly.

The inside of the cave can be seen clearly. There are not so many twists and turns. It is just a slightly sunken cave.

In the cave, a demon spirit that looked like a stone statue of a unicorn was lying down and sleeping.

It looks somewhat similar to the Peerless King, but its body is many times smaller and not as gorgeous as the Peerless King. Its body is like limestone and there is no luster at all.

However, next to it, there was some fluorescent light. Li Xiu took a closer look and found that there was actually a small pit there. There was some clear water in the pit, and a fluorescent plant was growing on the water.

Li Xiu looked at the plant and found it looked familiar.

"Why is this plant somewhat similar to the one that King Gai Shi has?" Li Xiu immediately remembered why this plant looked familiar.

Li Xiu remembered that King Gai Shi said that the plant was called gem species, and it was very similar to this plant.

Both grow in water, and the shapes of the parts above the water are very similar, like corals.

The difference is that the plant on King Gai Shi's side is snow-white all over, with five small flowers blooming on it.

This plant was a little gray, and there was only one small flower on it. The shape of the flower was also a little different. It was smaller than the one on King Gai Shi's, and the petals were missing. However, the center of the flower was actually wrapped with a gem the size of a grain of rice. It was the part of the plant with the strongest fluorescence.

"Could this plant really be the gemstone that King Gai Shi mentioned?" Li Xiu saw that a gemstone had grown out of the small flower, and couldn't help but think to himself: "Although this thing is not as gorgeous and imposing as King Gai Shi, it also looks like a Qilin. And there is such a plant here, is this a coincidence?"

What puzzled Li Xiu was that there was no mention of this strange plant in the information in the book.

The president even recorded the evil spirit's habitat and abilities clearly, so it should have been here before. How could he not record this plant?

Did he not realize the value of this plant, or did this plant not exist when he arrived?

"This is a bit strange. Under the City of Light built by the president, there is the Peerless King and that plant. Another similar plant was missed here. It's interesting." Li Xiu thought to himself while observing the plant and the evil spirit next to it.

It can be seen that the plant has obviously not yet fully grown. Anyone can see that the gems inside can only truly grow after all the petals on the small flower have fallen, and now is not the time.

Li Xiu looked at the sleeping demon spirit, pondered for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​killing it, and after observing for a while, quietly left the cave.

Li Xiu guessed that the reason why the president did not kill the evil spirit was probably because he wanted to use it to protect the plant. It can be seen that the president had intentions towards the gems grown on the plant.

Li Xiu naturally had some ideas about the treasure that even the president was tempted by.

If we kill it now, without a god-level demon guarding here, if that blind and stupid demon breaks in and destroys the ungrown gem seeds, it would be a waste of resources.

So Li Xiu planned to let the evil spirit go, go back to sound out the King Gai Shi's attitude, find out what the gem seeds are, and then it would not be too late to kill the evil spirit and take the treasure.

"If this is the case, then is it possible that King Gai Shi was trapped there for this reason?" Li Xiu thought about various possibilities.

After leaving the cave and about to leave, Li Xiu suddenly heard a deep and old voice coming from inside the cave.

"Human...wait a minute..."

Li Xiu was suddenly startled and turned to look inside the cave. The demon spirit that was originally lying on the ground in the cave and sleeping soundly had woken up at some point. It raised its upper body and opened its eyes. Its glass-like eyeballs were staring at where Li Xiu was. The voice naturally came from its mouth.

Li Xiu was extremely shocked. You have to know that he was still in the invisible state of the Ultimate Light. Even Guan Jinghao couldn't see him, but this evil spirit could obviously see it, otherwise its eyes would not be so coincidentally staring at Li Xiu's position.
