"This is..." Li Xiu looked at the box on the table and didn't understand what Li Qingyin meant for a while.

Li Qingyin opened the box and saw a pear-shaped diamond inside, which looked like four or five carats.

The color is transparent, with a slight blue tint, and it looks extremely transparent.

Just the first time he saw this diamond, Li Xiu immediately felt hungry. This was obviously a demon gem.

"What is this diamond?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the diamond.

"Have you ever heard of the Cullinan Diamond?" Li Qingyin said slowly.

"You mean the Star of Africa?" Li Xiu looked at the diamond again in surprise.

Some people may not have heard of the Cullinan Diamond, but when it comes to the Star of Africa, there are probably very few people who have never heard of it.

Inlaid on the royal staff of an ancient country is the "Star of Africa", the second largest diamond in the world known as the "King of Diamonds". It weighs more than 500 carats and is an extremely rare giant diamond.

In fact, the Star of Africa is one of the diamonds cut from the Cullinan Diamond. The original Cullinan stone weighs more than 3,000 carats, and is cut into nine large diamonds and 96 small diamonds, with a total weight of more than 1,000 carats.

The finished product is only about one-third of the original stone, and the consumption is very large.

The Star of Africa, also known as Cullinan One, is the largest and most famous of the nine large diamonds. It is inlaid on the scepter.

The smallest of the nine large diamonds is over four carats and is exactly pear-shaped, so it matches the diamond Li Qingyin brought.

"Yes, this is the smallest of the nine large diamonds cut by Cullinan." Li Qingyin nodded and said.

"Even the Cullinan diamond is no different from an ordinary diamond. It weighs more than four carats and is not worth much." Li Xiu tried.

"What if it is a radiant demon gem?" Li Qingyin said.

"Are you sure it is the radiant demon gem?" Li Xiu was a little surprised.

"Although I'm not 100% sure, it's almost the same. I've seen Cullinan No. 1, No. 3, and No. 4. They all contain radiant demon spirits. The smallest No. 9 has not been contracted by anyone yet.

But as Cullinan, it has a great chance of giving birth to a radiant demon spirit. You can choose to take a gamble. Of course, you can also not gamble and just pretend that I haven't taken it out." Li Qingyin said with a smile.

"It sounds very tempting. Where did your diamond come from? How do I know if it is the real Cullinan No. 9?" Li Xiu pondered.

"This is a birthday gift from my mother. She shouldn't lie to me." Li Qingyin said.

Li Xiu secretly smacked his tongue, giving such a thing as a birthday gift, how rich Li Qingyin's family is, I'm afraid it's no worse than Chu Jun.

"What do you want?" Li Xiu really wanted to take a gamble. At least he already knew that this was definitely a demon gem. Even if it wasn't Cullinan or the radiant demon didn't come out, he wouldn't lose money.

.

"Exchange it for a glass of wine with the three attributes of wind, fire, and thunder, and redeem my three-year bet." Li Qingyin said.

"I can't make the wine now, it will take a while." Li Xiu said thoughtfully.

"How long?" Li Qingyin asked, staring at Li Xiu.

"One year at the latest." Li Xiu was still somewhat sure, because there were some clues in the cocktail recipes. One of the recipes was suspected to have properties such as wind, fire and thunder, but it needed to be verified first, so Li Xiu

I didn’t dare to respond directly.

"One year is too long, can half a year be enough?" Li Qingyin frowned.

"Okay, but your spokesperson's bet must continue to be fulfilled." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Seeing what Li Qingyin wanted to say, Li Xiu immediately said without waiting for her to speak: "You don't have to show your face. This is my bottom line. Otherwise, you can take the diamond back."

"Okay, deal." Li Qingyin's bottom line is to help Bai Ying get the three-attribute wine. If it doesn't work, he has no choice but to accept the identity of the spokesperson.

Now that Li Xiu had taken a step back and allowed her to avoid showing her face, Li Qingyin was quite satisfied with the result.

"I'll accept the diamond and I'll let you know when I can make drinks. Since you're already here, let's take a publicity photo first." Li Xiu picked up the box containing Cullinan No. 9 with a smile.

, put it directly into the drawer.

"You took all the benefits without paying anything. Isn't this a bit unreasonable? We should hand over the money and deliver the goods." Bai Ying said dissatisfied.

"If you don't trust me, the deal can be abandoned." Li Xiu took out the box and pushed it directly in front of them.

"I believe you, but according to the agreement, I only need to take three sets of promotional photos and three sets of videos in the past three years. The time needs to be communicated separately." Li Qingyin did not take back the box, but pushed it back to Li Xiu.

"Okay, is it convenient to take the first set of promotional photos today?" Li Xiu put the box away and smiled.

"It's convenient, remember what you said, don't let me show my face. If you violate the agreement, you will be responsible for the consequences." Li Qingyin said.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone make a look that covers your face." Li Xiu picked up the phone, called Chu Jun over, and asked him to take Li Qingyin to take promotional photos.

Chu Jun is already familiar with this matter. He has been doing the publicity work for the Demon Spirit Competition before and has also taken promotional photos.

Seeing that Li Xiu actually signed Li Qingyin as the spokesperson, Chu Jun was very happy.

He has no idea about Li Qingyin, but he thinks that with Fubukihime as the spokesperson, the reputation of the Demon Spirit Competition and the City of Light will be even higher.

After Chu Jun and Li Qingyin left, Li Xiu took out the Cullinan No. 9 and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.

This diamond is indeed very similar to Cullinan No. 9. Although Li Xiu has never seen the actual diamond, he has seen photos of it.

And he has also seen Cullinan 2. Cullinan 2 is embedded in the crown of that ancient country, and that crown should be in the space city now.

When Li Xiu was in Space City before, he saw the crown and the Cullinan II on the crown. It seemed that the color and luster of this diamond were very close to the Cullinan II on the crown.

"Li Qingyin said that Cullinan No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 are all pregnant with radiant demon spirits. Now No. 9 is also pregnant with demon spirits. The other Cullinan diamonds should also be pregnant with demon spirits. I don't know about the other ones.

Where are those Cullinan diamonds? If you have a chance to find them, you can get them back and do some experiments to see if there is any connection between the demon spirits of these Cullinan diamonds."

Li Xiu looked at Cullinan No. 9 and thought to himself: "Theoretically, if gems can give birth to demon spirits, it must be the result of being seeded. It has nothing to do with whether they come from the same rough stone, unless they are born after they are planted.

It is possible that all Cullinan diamonds have demonic spirits inside them because they have already been planted before cutting."

"But if the demon gem is cut, will the demon be cut as well? If the demon cannot be cut, then there should be only one Cullinan with a demon in it. Now there are so many Cullinan diamonds.

There are demon spirits, so there are some problems."

"Did the demon spirits be divided, or was it that when the spirits were first planted, there was more than one spirit planted in the Cullinan Diamond?"

Li Xiu couldn't guess. Only by getting other Cullinan diamonds could he solve this mystery.

Li Xiu broke his finger and smeared his blood on No. 9 in the library.

Fortunately, No. 9 in the library did not reject Li Xiu's blood like the ruby. After the bright diamond absorbed Li Xiu's blood, it immediately bloomed with brilliance, and finally turned into a stream of light and flew towards Li Xiu's finger.

A moment later, a diamond demon ring appeared on Li Xiu's finger. Li Xiu looked at the gem rings in his hand and felt a sense of joy as a nouveau riche.

"Too many demon spirits is also a kind of trouble. I almost can't wear them any more." Li Xiu didn't know what would happen to those demon spirit rings if they really couldn't be worn anymore.

Sealed Devil: Demonic spirits can evolve.

Grade: E grade.

Quality: Brilliance (incomplete).

"What does incomplete mean? Could it be that there is indeed a connection between the nine Cullinan diamonds?" Li Xiu was a little surprised and summoned the sealed devil.

"What's going on?" After seeing the appearance of this demon spirit clearly, Li Xiu couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

The demon spirit he summoned still looked like Cullinan No. 9, but now Cullinan No. 9 was able to float in the air on its own, and within the diamond, there was a red light that appeared and disappeared.

, like blood-red devil eyes opening and closing in it.

After testing it for a while, I found that this thing seemed useless. Apart from flying and flashing, it had no actual combat ability and no innate skills.

"It seems that I need to find an opportunity to ask Li Qingyin again what the demon spirits No. 1, 3 and 4 are in the library." Li Xiu had no choice but to summon the sealed demon spirits back.

Early the next morning, Chu Jun showed Li Xiu the promotional photos he had taken, and the results were unexpectedly good.

Li Qingyin is wearing a blue gauze skirt, just like a fairy in ancient oriental myths and legends. Her face is covered with a veil, and behind her is Fukitsuki, who is as aloof as the frost goddess of war.

This set of photos is basically in this style, with just some differences in background and action.

"People have temperament and demons are also beautiful. All of them are exquisite. Choose one as the main picture." Chu Jun said with a smile.

"Just this one." Li Xiu chose a photo with the full moon and starry sky as the background. He just pointed at it based on his feeling. Anyway, this set of photos was very good, and every photo was beautiful.

"Li Qingyin is also most satisfied with this one. Your aesthetics are quite consistent, and there is less trouble in communication." Chu Jun said with a smile: "She also asked me to remind you not to forget the agreement between you, be honest.

Explain, what is the agreement between you? Have you betrayed our single noble organization?"

Li Xiu said angrily: "I really want to be single, but with so many things going on in the city now, there is no time or opportunity to betray. Also, when did I join some single noble organization?"

"That's right. I didn't feel anything when Shachu was here. Now that she's gone, we are all so busy that we have no time to improve ourselves. It's not an option if this continues. When will Shachu come back?" Chu

Jun sighed.

"It's only been two days since I left, okay? How could I come back so soon, unless..." Li Xiu was suddenly startled: "Yes, Li Qingyin's status in the Immortal Society is definitely not low. Can you ask her to do a favor?

How about getting Shachu back?"

Li Xiu regretted that he did not think of this issue when discussing the conditions yesterday, otherwise he could have raised it as a condition.

But then I thought again, if I ask Li Qingyin for someone like this, it would be equivalent to telling the Immortal Society that the relationship between Sha Chu and him is unusual, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

After thinking for a long time, Li Xiu decided not to mention Shachu and wait for her to come back on her own.

As soon as the promotional photos of Lee Chung-yin and Fukiyuki were released, it didn't take long for them to become hot searches.

Topics such as the most beautiful trialist and the world's most powerful demon spirit have always dominated the hot search list.

Several hot topics that were originally being held in the Demon Spirit Contest were suppressed, which made those cities that spent a lot of money on promotion very depressed.
