Coming to Good Luck Hill again, the yard had changed a lot. The flowers and plants inside were full of vitality. It was much more beautiful and tidier than the last time Li Xiu came here, just like an elegant courtyard garden.
The door was not locked, and Li Xiu opened it with a light push. He stood in the yard, but did not see Tang Tianzhen's body.
"Second brother." Li Xiu called several times towards the room where the Eighth Master, Wan Chaochun and Tang Tianzhen were once imprisoned, but no one answered his call.
Li Xiu frowned slightly and wanted to push open the door of the room where Tang Tianzhen was imprisoned before, but suddenly found that there was a line of small words faintly engraved on the wooden door.
"We come from where we came from and go to where we are going. Everyone has their own trajectory in life. It is better not to meet than to meet... Tang Tianzhen..." Li Xiu read out the words on the door softly, and put down his hand that was about to push the door open.
It is obvious that these words should have been left for him by Tang Tianzhen, which shows that Tang Tianzhen had already calculated that he would come. Now Li Xiu can speculate that Tang Tianzhen is most likely the person who left a drop of blood in the Soul-Suppressing Stone, causing the four evil spirits to be born from the Soul-Suppressing Stone.
Li Xiu's face looked a little ugly. Even the combined efforts of the sixteen ancestral spirits could not harm a single corner of his clothes, so how could he be imprisoned in the house by his sister at will?
Now Li Xiu has begun to suspect that the reason why Tang Tianzhen was imprisoned here by his sister was part of his plan, and he was deliberately trying to get close to his sister.
"Why did he want to get close to my sister? What was his intention? Did he have any part in the president's plot against my sister?" Li Xiu's face became increasingly gloomy.
The more the situation became like this, the more Li Xiu had to force himself to remain calm. Facing such an opponent, he could not afford to be careless in the slightest.
Tang Tianzhen may be a more terrifying existence than the president. Although the president is strong, he is rejected by the world, so his perception ability in this world is very weak. There are actually not many things he can do, and most of the time he relies on his mind and strength to complete his plans.
Tang Tianzhen is different. His intelligence may not be inferior to the president's, and he does not seem to be rejected by the world like the president. He can also influence the Zhenling Stone and cause the four evil spirits to give birth to it. This is very scary.
What's more, he has endurance that is unimaginable for ordinary people. Although he possesses such powerful strength, he is willing to be imprisoned in Good Luck Hill for decades. Such endurance is simply inhuman.
Li Xiu's brain was working rapidly: "What is the relationship between Tang Tianzhen and the president? Hostile relationship? Or cooperative relationship?"
Judging from various signs, it is more likely that Tang Tianzhen and the president have a cooperative relationship.
The president's perception ability is not strong, but he is able to know his sister's movements clearly and can calculate her accurately. Perhaps this is not his ability alone. Tang Tianzhen may have played a very important role in this.
"It seems that my opponent is not just the president." Li Xiu took a deep look at the words on the door, turned around and left after a moment, without wasting any more time.
When he returned to Changshengtian again, the president still did not come out to see him. It was obvious that the president would not disturb him again before Li Xiu was promoted to the peerless level.
Li Xiu entered the trial ground again and began to frantically hunt gods and demons in various trial grounds in order to seize various resources.
Li Xiu fed all the magic cores to the demigod Shasuna and the Jedi Knights. Not long after, the demigod Shasuna was promoted to the god level.
Being merely at the god level was not enough, Li Xiu continued to feed them magic cores.
Demons are different from humans. Humans need to comprehend the light of truth on their own, while demons, in addition to their own comprehension, rely more on their own blood inheritance. As long as the demons' blood inheritance is good enough, their light of truth will become stronger and stronger until it reaches the upper limit of their blood inheritance.
The bloodline inheritance of the demigod Moment of glorious quality is undoubtedly extremely strong. Coupled with the evil that parasitizes on his body, his achievement will definitely be the pinnacle of godhood, and he may even have a chance to become the peerless god.
However, it is very difficult to achieve the ultimate level. Apart from the sixteen ancestral spirits and four evil spirits who are born ultimate levels, Li Xiu does not know of any other ultimate levels who have succeeded in achieving the ultimate level through acquired experience.
Maybe there is, but Li Xiu has never seen it.
In fact, there is a simpler way, which is to kill the peerless demon spirits. Perhaps you can obtain the power of those peerless demon spirits and become peerless just like you become a god.
But for Li Xiu, that road was not easy to take. The sixteen ancestral spirits were on his side, and Li Xiu could not kill them. Li Xiu was not sure he could kill the four evil spirits, so he had to give up the idea.
The drop rate of divine gems is indeed very low. Li Xiu killed hundreds of divine monsters and only got two divine gems. However, he got a lot of talent gems and skill rings, and even three monster rings.
Today, Li Xiu can be said to be invincible in the world, and it is not difficult for him to kill god-level demons.
After handing over the two divine gems to Wan Chaochun, Li Xiu soon got the first batch of gems, most of which were rubies.
Li Xiu opened a row of small boxes in his room. Inside were all top-quality rubies. Each ruby weighed more than three carats, and impurities were almost invisible to the naked eye. According to a relatively broad standard, these could all meet the minimum standard of pigeon blood red.
The box of the best quality rubies did not contain many in number, but each one was over ten carats and of amazing quality. Their red was deep and bright, like insoluble blood illuminated by fluorescence.
"Eat as much as you want. It's all yours." Li Xiu summoned his bride-to-be and let her devour the ruby to her heart's content.
The bride-to-be did not eat as voraciously as the Jedi Knight and the demigod Setsuna. She moved lightly with her lotus steps, stretched out her snow-white fingers, picked up a ruby weighing more than ten carats, and gently held it between her fingers.
Visible red fluorescence floated out from the ruby, and the red light merged into the bride's wedding dress, making the dress more vivid and bright.
Li Xiu originally thought that the bride-to-be would not devour the ruby very quickly. After all, she had not integrated the evil and her digestion ability was limited.
But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that the bride-to-be held the rubies in her hands and quickly absorbed all the energy from the gems.
In just half a day, the box of the best rubies turned into debris, and the bride-to-be's level had reached the peak of soul casting.
"Husband, I'm full and need to rest." The bride-to-be bowed gently and automatically returned to Li Xiu's fingers.
Although she only ate one box, this speed had exceeded Li Xiu's expectations. He just didn't know how long it would take her to completely digest it.
The bride-to-be, who has been promoted to the peak of soul casting, has not seen much change in her attributes. She still only has the talent skill of a wedding dress. Only her level and embryo quality are improving, while the number of light bases and soul casting status are not displayed.
"What a strange demon spirit." Li Xiu wanted to feed the Dragon Vein Spirit and let it continue to grow as much as possible. Unfortunately, he didn't know what kind of gems the Dragon Vein Spirit ate. He gave it many kinds of gems, but it didn't seem to be interested. This made Li Xiu a little distressed.
The two Aurora Spirits in his hands now are too peculiar. Not only is it difficult to cultivate them, but it is also difficult to say how much of a role they can play.
Li Xiu opened other gem boxes, took out some gems from them and fed them to other monsters. Unfortunately, their digestive abilities and appetite were too limited. Even if Li Xiu wanted to raise their levels, it would not be possible in a short period of time.
"It would be great if I could get some more evil spirits back." Li Xiu reluctantly took back the overfed evil spirits one by one.
"Chief, the chief wants to see you." Lao Jia's voice sounded outside the door.
"Let him go to the living room." Li Xiu said after thinking for a while.
After packing up his things, Li Xiu came to the living room and saw the old man drinking tea there.
"General Manager, how come you have time to come and see me?" Li Xiu asked knowingly.
"Brother Li, I am here to ask for your help." The old man said with a smile, "The divine gem that Wan Chaochun sold must have been yours, brother. I want one too. You can tell me the price."
The old man was so straightforward that Li Xiu couldn't pretend to be confused anymore, so he said, "The drop rate of the Godly Gem is too low. I don't have any right now. Even if I want to sell it to you, I have to wait until I get it."
"Okay, then I'll reserve one. You name the price. I still have a batch of gems in my hand. If you think they are not enough, I can transfer all the business out and I should be able to get some gems in return." said the old man.
"Brother, I have almost enough gems now, do you have any evil..." Li Xiu asked.
"That thing is hard to come by, and it may be difficult to find it in a short time. But I can try my best, but you can't spread the news." The old man pondered.
"Okay." Li Xiu nodded.
"How many evil spirits do you want?" the immortal old man thought for a while and asked.
"The more the better." Li Xiu said.
"Then I understand. Wait for my good news." The old man left after saying this, and turned away, anxious to do evil.
Li Xiu was also preparing to go to the trial ground again. In case the immortal old man really got evil, he would have to be able to take out the divine gem in exchange.
"Li Xiu, are you free now?" Li Xiu had just walked out of Yard No. 7 when he saw Li Qingyi standing outside the door, looking at him with a complicated expression.
"What happened?" Li Xiu didn't know how to face Li Qingyi, Li Ming'er and others.
There will be a life-and-death battle between him and the president. If they knew that he had killed their father, Li Xiu would not know how to get along with them in the future.
"It's nothing, I just haven't seen you for a long time. I want to invite you to dinner. Do you have time?" Li Qingyi said.
"Beauty, please treat me to a meal. I have to go even if I don't have time." Li Xiu said casually.
"I'm not as pretty as the one in your family." Li Qingyi smiled slightly, but the smile seemed a little forced.
Li Xiu originally thought that Li Qingyi would take him to a restaurant, but unexpectedly it turned out to be in her own yard.
"Wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Li Qingyi said as she walked into the house. Soon Li Xiu heard the sounds of cutting vegetables and cooking coming from inside the house.
Not long after, Li Qingyi prepared four dishes and a soup. Although I don’t know how it tastes, it looks and smells really good.
"It's such a great honor for you to cook for me personally, Miss." Li Xiu looked at Li Qingyi who was wearing an apron, but she really looked like a good wife and mother.
There are many beauties around him, but one like Li Qingyi is truly unique.
Li Ming'er is charming and cute, and can be described as having an angelic face and a devilish figure; Sha Chu is mature and sexy, a typical queen; A Fei is a little cold, and although she is not beautiful, she also has her unique temperament and charm.
Li Qingyi's temperament is different from all of them. The kind of tranquility that comes from being lucky or having a chance to lose something is something that others don't have.
This has something to do with Li Qingyi's background. She was born at the peak, lacking nothing, and has owned everything, but she cherishes everything and has not lost herself in the materialistic world. She has never had the slightest thought of despising worldly things. This alone is very much in line with Li Xiu's temper.
Only after experiencing gains and losses can one know the value of something. Li Qingyi has gained but never lost, and yet she has been able to develop her current character. This is not just a matter of experience, her own character is also an important reason.
Li Qingyi smiled as he poured a glass of wine for Li Xiu, then filled his own glass as well, raised his glass and said, "This is the glass for you to repay my kindness."
"Okay." Li Xiu knew that Li Qingyi might have something to say, so he didn't hesitate and drank it all in one gulp after clinking glasses.
Li Qingyi filled both of their glasses again, then raised his glass again and said, "This one, I want to thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Li Xiu asked in surprise.
"Thank you for appearing in my life." Li Qingyi has a beautiful smile. Although she has a heroic appearance, she makes people feel gentle as water.
Li Xiu stared at Li Qingyi in a daze, and after a while he smiled and raised his glass: "Perhaps it would be better if I didn't show up."
Li Qingyi didn't care about what Li Xiu said. She drank the wine in the glass and then poured it again.
Li Xiu had no choice but to drink it all, and Li Qingyi filled his glass again.
"This cup..." Li Qingyi did not finish her words this time. She paused for a moment, looked into Li Xiu's eyes with a complicated expression, and then continued, "Let this be the last cup of our lives. After today, we have settled our ties and have nothing to do with each other from now on."
Li Xiu looked at Li Qingyi for a long time without saying anything. Seeing that Li Qingyi's expression was firm and his lips moved, he said nothing in the end. He picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Li Qingyi, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Li Xiu already understood that Li Qingyi must have known something.
"How about trying my cooking?" Li Qingyi showed a gentle smile on her face and picked up some food for Li Xiu, as if nothing had happened just now.
Li Xiu also didn't say anything. The two of them tacitly agreed not to continue the previous topic and just talked about romantic and family matters.
Only after finishing his meal and drinking a bowl of soup did Li Xiu stand up and say, "I have to go now. Take care."
Li Qingyi did not stop him. She just cleaned up the dishes silently and did not even look at Li Xiu leaving.
It was not until Li Xiu walked out of the yard that Li Qingyi suddenly sat down on the stool as if he had lost his temper. The bowls and plates in his hands fell to the ground, breaking into pieces with a clanging sound.
Li Xiu heard the voice, but did not turn around, because he didn't know what to say if he turned around. Not all problems can be solved, at least Li Xiu has no way to do everything perfectly now.
"How can I have the best of both worlds, without disappointing Tathagata and without disappointing you?" Li Xiu shook his head and sighed as he left.
After leaving Li Qingyi, Li Xiu went to the Emerald Gate. He wanted to go to the Emerald Royal Court to find Jiang Lanling and find out Zai Zai's identity and origin.
Before the battle with the president, Li Xiu hopes to finish everything he needs to do.
Although Li Xiu already had some guesses and suspected that Zai Zai also came from the Time Tunnel, he still had to find Jiang Lanling to confirm it. He also had some doubts in his mind that he also needed Jiang Lanling to answer.
When Li Xiu arrived outside the gate of the Emerald Royal Court, Jiang Lanling, dressed in green, was standing by the city wall like a queen, looking down at Li Xiu.
"You still dare to come?" Jiang Lanling's face was as cold as a cruel ice queen.
"I don't want to come, but I have to." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"Did Li Boyang ask you to come?" Jiang Lanling frowned.
"No." Li Xiu shook his head slightly.
"If he didn't force you to come, who else would force you to see me?" Jiang Lanling was even more confused.
"No one forced me, but there are some things I can't figure out, and only you can explain them to me." Li Xiu said.
"If you can't figure it out, that's your business. Why should I answer your questions?" Jiang Lanling snorted coldly, "Since you're already here, just leave your life behind. When you die, you don't have to think about anything, so naturally you don't need to figure it out anymore."
As he spoke, Jiang Lanling raised his hand and shot out a green light, which instantly appeared in front of Li Xiu.
Li Xiu did not move, but just raised his hand slightly and absorbed all the emerald light in front of him into his palm, turning it into an emerald green ball of light, which he played with between his fingertips.
Jiang Lanling's expression suddenly changed when he saw this: "It's only been a short time, and you've already been promoted to Godhood? Li Boyang is really good to you. He even ignored his own son and gave you such a benefit. What is your relationship with that bastard?"
"It doesn't matter. If you really count them, they should be opponents." Li Xiu said lightly while playing with the ball of light.
Jiang Lanling showed contempt when he heard this: "An opponent? Are you worthy of that? It's just the godhood, you are still far from it."
"Why am I not worthy of being his opponent? Is it because he is the Emperor of the Demonic Kingdom?" Li Xiu said casually.
"How do you know he is..." Jiang Lanling looked at Li Xiu in surprise.
"Am I asking you to doubt me, or am I here to solve your doubts?" Li Xiu smiled and said, "Empress, can you tell me the origin of the child who left the Emerald Gate?"
"You are not qualified to know. While I am not angry yet, just get as far away as possible." Jiang Lanling said coldly.
"What if I really want to know?" Li Xiu looked at Jiang Lanling calmly and said.
“Do you really think you’re so great just because you’re a god? And you dare to talk to me like this? It seems you really don’t want this life anymore.” Jiang Lanling’s eyes were full of anger, and emerald divine light rose from his body, transforming into a god-like emerald green light and shadow. The light and shadow almost enveloped the entire Emerald Royal Court, and its brilliance illuminated the entire world.
Li Xiu remained indifferent. He flicked his fingertips and the emerald green ball of light bounced out from between his fingers, spinning and flying towards the godly light and shadow.
"You asked for it yourself, so you can't blame me." A trace of anger flashed in Jiang Lanling's eyes. A god-like emerald light and shadow appeared on his body. He stretched out a giant palm that covered the sky and pressed down on the ball of light ejected by Li Xiu with an attitude of world-destroying, as if he wanted to crush the ball of light, Li Xiu, and the world together.
But the moment the giant palm that covered the sky touched the ball of light, Jiang Lanling's face became extremely ugly, and there was even extreme fear in his eyes.
