After a while, Shalai stopped in front of the shrine where the Buddha statue was enshrined.
The city of Tyro believes in Theravada Buddhism, which is very popular. Many people are Buddhists and there are temples everywhere.
It is normal to worship Buddha statues at home, but the Buddha statue that Zheng De worshipped was a bit strange. It had three faces on its head and a little boy-like doll at its feet, but the doll had a scary ghost face.
There were many strange-looking plaques on the altar. Li Xiu couldn't understand what they were. They looked very weird.
Shalai became excited, reached out and grabbed the Buddha statue, touched it a few times, then grabbed the head and twisted it, unexpectedly twisting the Buddha statue's head 180 degrees.
Snap!
The ground slowly cracked open, and half of the room's floor slowly shrank into the wall, revealing a downward staircase below.
"Hehe, this old guy Zheng De is really sinister. Almost everyone in Taylor City believes in Buddhism, and no one would disrespect the Buddha statue. He set up the mechanism here, and ordinary people don't dare to touch it." Shalai said and took the lead to walk down.
At the end of the stairs was a vault door. Qin Shi directly condensed the magic light blade and cut open the alloy door that was more than one meter thick.
When a few people went in and took a look, they were overjoyed. There were many glass cabinets in the room of dozens of square meters, and many of them were filled with things.
There were some antique calligraphy and paintings and other things that Li Xiu and the others didn't understand, but Li Xiu saw at a glance the magic costumes displayed in a large glass cabinet.
The overall lines of the magic suit are somewhat exaggerated, with sharp edges in some places. The style is very technological, with a matte surface and a black outline on the edge of the purple main color, giving people a feeling of biological armor.
Li Xiu recognized the origin of the magic suit at the first sight. It was the limited edition S-level magic suit "Ghost Mask" made by the No. 1 laboratory in the Space City.
Although they are called limited editions, in fact, many S-level magic suits are limited editions. That’s because the materials required to make an S-level magic suit are generally difficult to collect for a second set.
Theoretically, the difference between limited edition and non-limited edition lies mostly in the different ways of obtaining the core materials, magic cores, and auxiliary materials.
Generally, the magic cores of non-restricted magic armor all come from the Gate of Trials. The properties of the magic cores obtained in the same trial field are exactly the same.
However, the magic core obtained by killing evil spirits will have slightly different properties from other magic cores and will not be exactly the same.
Moreover, the magic core obtained by killing a demon can be used as an auxiliary material by using a demon. It is basically difficult to make a second set of magic equipment that is exactly the same as the one made in this way.
This set of S-level ghost-faced demon suit is made using the magic core and body of an S-level demon spirit, and that S-level demon spirit was killed by Li Xiu himself.
"I didn't expect that this set of ghost mask would fall into Zheng De's hands. This set of magic costume alone is very valuable. He obviously has so many valuable things, but he is reluctant to use them to pay off his debts. He even goes to plunder the poor at the bottom. It's really a typical upper-class style." Li Xiu sighed in his heart.
"Do you like it? If you like it, it's yours." Shalai laughed.
Li Xiu glanced at Qin Shi next to him, and seeing that she had no intention of fighting for it, he walked over, opened the glass cover, and took out the Ghost Mask Demon Costume.
Qin Shi had no mood to look at these things. She opened the safes one by one. Some contained magic cores, and some contained gems. Although the number was not large, each one was a fine product.
It wasn't until she opened a safe that contained boxes of rubies that she excitedly put away all the rubies.
"I only want these, the rest belongs to you." Qin Shi said.
Shalai searched the house without any hesitation, but Pashan just stood there without moving.
Li Xiu is actually not very interested in these gems. Their main function is to enter the trial gate, and they have no practical value other than that.
Li Xiu glanced at the gems and suddenly his eyes fixed on one of them.
It was a red gem. At first glance, you might think it was a ruby, but if you looked closely, you would find that it was somewhat different from a ruby.
Its color is not as rich as ruby, a little pink, but the fluorescence is stronger, the color is fiery and pure. Under the light, it emits a strong fluorescence like the lightsaber in the hands of a Jedi Knight.
"This is red spinel, which is usually a companion mineral of ruby. Although it is not a ruby, its value is also quite high. The color of this red spinel is probably able to reach the top color grade... Jedi color. If I am not mistaken, this Jedi spinel should be from the Namiyya mine, which has been extinct decades ago. Generally speaking, Namiyya spinels are relatively small and have more impurities in the crystals. This Namiyya Jedi spinel looks to be more than ten carats and is quite pure, which is very rare. Such a rare top-grade red spinel is definitely not less valuable than a ruby. Among the gems collected by old man Zheng De, this one is also considered top-grade, and there are not many that can compare with it." Shalai, who was looting the safe, saw Li Xiu staring at the gem, picked up the gem and threw it to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu reached out and grabbed the Namiyya Jedi Spike, staring at it intently.
Li Xiu did not have a detailed understanding of gemstones. He knew roughly about rubies, sapphires, emeralds, diamonds and cat's eyes, which are the world's recognized top gemstones. He also knew a little about gemstones like spinels, but not much.
The reason he noticed this gem was not because he recognized its value or because it was beautiful.
If the real reason is told, no one would believe it. When he saw the gem, he actually felt hungry.
His brain actually produced the desire to eat the red spike, which shocked Li Xiu himself and also gave him some very bad thoughts.
Because as far as Li Xiu knows, there is only one kind of creature in this world that can eat gems, and that is the evil spirit that came from nowhere.
Now Li Xiu actually developed the desire to eat gems, which made him even more worried about whether the young demon spirit in his body was dead.
What's strange is that there are so many gems in the vault, even the more valuable top-grade pigeon blood rubies, but Li Xiu has no desire for them at all. Only this red spinel makes him feel hungry.
"What's going on? I didn't eat those magic cores too?" Li Xiu frowned and thought, considering whether to swallow the red crystal to see what changes would occur.
He quickly suppressed this impulse and put away the red crystal. If he ate the red crystal now, Shalai and the others would probably treat him like a monster.
"It seems that I have to find a professional place to have a thorough physical examination." Li Xiu thought to himself where to go to have his body examined.
