Two hundred and seventeenth chapter Wanchao letter gifts
"Brother, don't be so nervous. Who do you think I, Jiu Xiaoyun, am? After all, you helped me just now. How can I, Jiu Xiaoyun, be the one who repays kindness with hatred? Besides, in your current state..." Jiu Xiaoyun
At this point, he suddenly paused, seeming to be thinking about something.
The next moment, the Demonic Shark suddenly disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already beside the body of the demon spirit. After emerging from the ground, it opened its mouth and bit into the thing that was about to be condensed into shape.
The time he calculated was just right. When the magic shark swallowed the thing, the thing would condense and take shape.
"If I really want to take it away, how can you stop me? I can think about it if I want, but I..." Before Jiu Xiaoyun finished speaking, he suddenly saw a flash of white light, and he was about to take it away.
The magic shark that swallowed the thing was directly blown away by the white light.
The white light returned to Li Xiu's hand. Li Xiu reached out and grabbed a condensed skill ring. He looked at Jiuxiaoyun and asked, "But what are you?"
"Ahem, it's nothing. It's getting late. Let's say goodbye." Jiu Xiaoyun got on the magic shark in depression and plunged into the ground and disappeared.
Li Xiu watched Jiuxiaoyun disappear and used the skill ring in his hand directly.
The skill ring turned into a brand and appeared on Li Xiu's finger, and then slowly disappeared. There was some more information in Li Xiu's mind.
Absorb in a Bottle: Super spiritual skill, absorbing light energy and converting it for your own use.
"It turns out to be this skill!" Li Xiu was a little surprised. He was shocked by this skill just now, but he didn't expect that this skill would come out.
Li Xiu tried to use the super spiritual skill of sucking from a bottle, and a circular light energy ring immediately appeared in his palm. It is a bit inaccurate to say that the ring is a ring, it is more like a suction cup, with a round outside and a gradually concave inside.
Li Xiu discovered that this skill cannot be used in the air. It must be exposed to light energy in order to absorb it.
After just using it, Li Xiu immediately felt that the light energy in his body was about to be drained, and he quickly stopped the skill. These super spiritual skills consumed too much light energy, and now Li Xiu's light energy could not sustain it for long at all.
.
However, the consumption of light energy absorbed in the bottle is obviously much less than that of the Four Saint Children. Li Xiu can hold on for a while longer so that the light energy in his body will not be drained immediately after use.
"If I absorb enough light energy from the bottle, can I absorb it with nourishment and recycle the energy in the bottle? Or use the absorbed light energy to use the Four Saint Children..." Li Xiu thought about this
feasibility of the matter.
Although he possesses super spiritual skills, Li Xiu has basically never used them. Light energy consumption is a big problem. Maybe sucking in a bottle can solve this problem.
"If the skill of sucking in a bottle can be done on a magic outfit, maybe the Hand of God can be improved. Then there is no need to throw out the controlled magic light, just suck it in and digest it... and vice versa.
Same...I am now a trialist, possessing light energy. If I use the Hand of God through my body, and combine it with sucking in a bottle..." Li Xiu continued to think divergently, and this sucking in a bottle skill allowed him to see
Lots of possibilities.
For Li Xiu, this skill is far more practical than the Four Saint Children.
He went on the road again with Shachu, looking for demon spirits to hunt. As long as there were high-quality magic cores, Li Xiu fed them to the Jedi. The upper limit of the Jedi's supersoul also increased by several percentage points. After Li Xiu and Shachu left the beasts,
At that time, the upper limit of the Jedi Knight's supersoul had reached 6%.
This was because Li Xiu was in a hurry to go back and was not focused on hunting down demon spirits.
After leaving, Li Xiu gave all the other loot to Sha Chu and asked her to exchange it for needed supplies.
Except for Sha Chu and Li Xiu, who each kept a Pegasus demon spirit, all the other gifted gems, skill rings and demon spirit rings were exchanged for supplies.
After riding the Pegasus Beast back to the Eternal City, I finally no longer have to spend so much time climbing mountains or wearing magic costumes.
The reason why Li Xiu was so anxious to come back was because it was almost time for the sky measuring machine, and he wanted to see what Changshengtian's sky measuring machine looked like.
When he was in the Hall of Eternal Life, the voice in the furnace told him something about the sky measuring machine, and Li Xiu was very interested in it.
According to the voice in the furnace, Changshengtian will test the secret of heaven every sixty years, and based on what is measured, Changshengtian's policies will be adjusted accordingly.
Originally, the sixty-year period had passed, but this time the person in charge of the sky measuring machine had a problem, and a suitable replacement could not be found, so this time the sky measuring machine had been postponed for several years.
Li Xiu can also be regarded as a beneficiary of this matter. Under normal circumstances, this Jiazi heaven-testing machine will decide whether to push the trialer to the world stage.
As a result, the heaven-testing machine was not held as scheduled, so when Li Xiu held the Demon Spirit Competition, there would be some support and some opposition.
If the fate is determined, it will not be Li Xiu's turn to hold the Demon Spirit Competition, or Li Xiu will be secretly destroyed by Changshengtian while he is still preparing for the Demon Spirit Competition.
It has been decided that the Trialist will be promoted to the world stage, so the content of the heaven-testing machine will also be changed this time. No one knows what exactly it will test. It will be decided by the president.
In the past, it was announced in advance, but this time because it is a little special, no one knows what the contents of the sky measuring machine are until now.
Li Xiu came back just to see what the president of Changshengtian looked like, and then to see what he was going to test.
"What are they doing?" Li Xiu was walking on the streets of Changsheng City and saw many demon spirits pulling large and small carts toward the northern district of the city.
We had not gone very far when we already saw four or five waves of people.
Shachu shook her head, she didn't know what she was doing.
"They are going to take a calligraphy test." came the voice of a man next to him.
Li Xiu and Sha Chu turned around and found that the speaker was Mo Liu, and with him was the Sun Gang they had met before.
"Testing words?" Li Xiu thought of Lao Ba.
Mo Liu came over and explained: "Yes, it is a test to ask about luck. The fortune of Changsheng City is once every sixty years. The fortune is tested every sixty years. Before each test, these wealthy families must first ask the heavenly master to test their own fortune.
, I hope you can still have great luck in the next year."
"Hmph, is that a test of luck? I'm afraid it should be called buying luck." Sun Gang said disdainfully.
"What is buying luck? Can luck still be bought? Does the Master have some great means to change luck against the will of heaven?" Sha Chu asked in surprise.
"I don't know if there is a big way to change fortunes against the will of heaven, but among the eight former families, two were because some bad words related to them appeared when they were testing the heavenly secrets. After that, those two families
It declined rapidly."
When Sun Gang said this, Li Xiu and Sha Chu both understood.
These big families nominally paid a lot of money to go to the Celestial Master to test their luck, but in fact they just hoped that the Celestial Master would not mention the signatures related to them when he was testing the fortune.
"Don't the president know these things?" Sha Chu felt a little incredible.
It is outrageous that such an organization that is powerful enough to control the world behind the scenes would decide the rise and fall of a family in such a bizarre way.
"Just because the president believes in this, he will test the heavenly secret once and for all, otherwise who would test this thing." Sun Gang was obviously very dissatisfied with the matter of testing the heavenly secret.
"Sun Gang, don't talk nonsense." Seeing that Sun Gang was talking more and more nonsense, Mo Liu quickly stopped him.
Although Sun Gang was very dissatisfied, he also knew that what he said was inappropriate, so he kept silent.
"What are you going to do?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the two of them.
"Go and test the characters and ask for luck." Mo Liu replied with a smile.
"Don't you believe this?" Sha Chu glanced at Sun Gang in surprise.
"Whether you believe it or not is one thing, and whether you want to go or not is another thing." Mo Liu said, "Besides, the Heavenly Master has just returned recently, so he should also express his concern."
"Who is that Heavenly Master?" Li Xiu sounded more and more like Lao Ba, but he didn't feel that Lao Ba was that powerful.
"The Heavenly Master's surname is Yu, and he is honored as the Eighth Master." Mo Liu said.
"You're really old." Li Xiu was not surprised. He thought about it and asked, "Can you take me with you?"
"You can go, but I'm afraid you won't be able to get in." Mo Liu said.
"Why? You brought so many gifts and the master turned you away?" Sha Chu asked in surprise.
Sun Gang snorted coldly and said: "People usually only accept the head of the family. Those of us who go to test the calligraphy by ourselves, some of them are not even allowed in. They just collect the things and let the servants go in with the calligraphy to be tested. We can only
Waiting outside to get the signature, and they only write the signature and are not responsible for interpreting the signature, so you can go back and guess what it means."
"This money is really good." After hearing this, Li Xiu felt that he should go there even more.
Lao Ba actually has such a status in Changsheng Heaven, and everyone throws money in his face. It shouldn't be too much for this elder brother to spend a little money on him and kill him twice, right?
Li Xiu asked Sha Chu to deal with things first, and he followed Mo Liu and Sun Gang to Tianshi Academy.
There were other people who went to the Celestial Master to test Chinese characters and ask about their luck. Mo Liu and Sun Gang only represented their own parents and could not represent the entire Mohist and Sun families.
So the gifts they prepared were not that many, just one box of gems per person.
When I arrived at the gate of Tianshiyuan, I found that the people lining up outside the gate had already reached the entrance of the alley, and many people were pulling carts of gifts.
Li Xiu looked forward and saw an acquaintance. Wan Chaoxin was also lining up in the queue.
Wan Chaoxin's senses were very keen. When Li Xiu looked at him, he seemed to sense it and turned back to look at Li Xiu.
Seeing that it was Li Xiu, Wan Chaoxin said something to the people around him, seemingly asking the person to continue queuing, but he actually walked over.
"Director Li, we meet again." Wan Chaoxin came to Li Xiu, and his attitude seemed to be much more friendly.
"It's better not to meet. I don't want to be shot with two arrows at any time." Li Xiu said calmly.
"Director Li is joking. I didn't know your identity before. I'm sorry for the offence..." Wan Chaoxin said, taking two steps closer and lowering his voice: "Director Li, you are in a great situation now.
In the crisis, if you don't believe it, you can check the accounts of the Magic Equipment Group, there will definitely be clues. If you need help, you can come to Wan Chao's house to find me at any time."
After saying that, Wan Chaoxin took two steps back, returned to normal volume, and said with a smile: "I've already arrived in line over there. If you don't mind, how about we go in together?"
Li Xiu looked at Mo Liu and Sun Gang and saw that neither of them had any objection, so he nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
Li Xiu and the other three followed Wan Chaoxin back to his place, and soon it was their turn.
There were many people in front who had given away things and signatures, and they could only wait outside for the servants to deliver the signatures.
When it was Wan Chaoxin's turn, the housekeeper actually invited Wan Chaoxin and the others in directly. This shows that Wan Chaoxin still has some reputation in Changsheng City.
"Today is different from the past. The Wanchao family is indeed different now." Sun Gang said.
As soon as Wan Chaochun came back, Wan Chaoxin's family immediately became famous. Although Wan Chaoxin was a top figure among the younger generation, in terms of status, he was still not worthy enough to be invited by the Heavenly Master to take a calligraphy test.
Now that he was able to enter the house to test calligraphy, the Heavenly Master undoubtedly looked at Wan Chaochun's face, so Sun Gang said this.
"The Wan Chao family is no different from before. It's just because I come here on behalf of the Wan Chao family, so I get some treatment." Wan Chao Xin said calmly.
"We are all thanks to Brother Wan Chao, otherwise we wouldn't be able to enter the Tianshi Mansion. Thank you very much." Mo Liu hurriedly came out to smooth things over.
Wan Chaoxin didn't seem to take Sun Gang's words to heart. After entering the Tianfu Courtyard, the group of people went all the way to the reception room under the guidance of the housekeeper.
"Everyone, please wait here for a moment. Mr. Ba is testing calligraphy with someone in the Lan Hall. He will come to the Bamboo Hall after he is done." The butler asked someone to pour tea for them and then left.
"I wonder what Mr. Li wants to test here?" Wan Chaoxin looked at Li Xiu and asked.
"I'm not testing anything, I'm just here to take a look." Li Xiu said with a smile.
Wan Chaoxin looked at Li Xiu with some surprise for a while and said, "Director Li has just established a new group, so he doesn't want to know the rise and fall of his own fortune?"
Because they were in Tianshi Academy, Wan Chaoxin had already spoken very implicitly.
What he really means is that for someone like Li Xiu who has just become the chief and has not yet established a stable foothold in Changshengtian, if even one word is related to him during the test of the heaven, not only will the position of chief be lost, but
Damn, I'm afraid my life is still in danger.
"Destiny is determined by God. Whether you know it or not, the result will be the same, so why bother yourself." Li Xiu said.
"Director Li, that's not what you're saying. As the saying goes, man can conquer nature, some things will only come to fruition after your own efforts." Wan Chaoxin paused and said, "If you don't have money handy, I have some things here that you can use as a gift."
As an apology for the previous misunderstandings, I will give this gift of fortune-telling to Mr. Li."
Wan Chaoxin said, taking out a box and placing it in front of Li Xiu.
Li Xiu looked at Wan Chaoxin with some surprise. Wan Chaoxin's face-changing skill was too strong. He wanted to kill him before, but now he gave him gifts instead.
Seeing that Li Xiu had no intention of taking the wooden box, Wan Chaoxin opened the wooden box himself, and a bright light suddenly shone inside, revealing a dazzling necklace inside.
The necklace is studded with diamonds, which dazzle under the light and look extremely luxurious.
But the highlight of this necklace is not the diamonds, but the large emeralds inlaid on it.
Each emerald on it is larger than a quail egg, and the color is of the highest quality.
"Is this...the Delhi Durbar necklace?" Mo Liu was shocked when he saw the necklace.
"Yes, this necklace is the genuine product of Delhi Durbar, not a replica." Wan Chaoxin said.
Hearing what Wan Chaoxin said, Sun Gang couldn't help but take a second look.
The origin of this necklace is extraordinary. Even Li Xiu has heard of this necklace.
This necklace also belongs to the ancient royal family that owns the Cullinan diamond. Legend has it that the emeralds on it were won by the queen's great-grandmother in a bet.
After the great-grandmother passed away, her son inherited the emeralds and gave them to his mistresses.
The queen's grandmother, Queen Mary, spent money to buy those emeralds from those mistresses and made this necklace.
Although there are many diamonds on the necklace, the real protagonists are these emeralds, and the diamonds are just supporting roles and embellishments.
It is worth mentioning that the diamond pendant used as an embellishment is the legendary Cullinan 7.
Even the Cullinan diamond can only exist as an embellishment, which shows how luxurious this Delhi Durbar necklace is.
If this is indeed the Delhi Durbar necklace, its value is immeasurable.
In particular, the Cullinan diamond used as an embellishment is likely to be a demon gem, and it may also be of radiant quality.
Li Xiu already had a demon spirit turned into a Cullinan diamond, and he was very interested in this necklace.
After just one glance, Li Xiu determined that the diamond on the pendant was probably Cullinan No. 7, because he already felt hungry in his stomach.
On the contrary, Li Xiu didn't feel anything about those huge emeralds. They were just ordinary gems with no additional value.
The eyes of Mo Liu and Sun Gang also fell on the Cullinan No. 7.
There are people in Changshengtian who used the Cullinan diamond contract to create radiant demons. This is not a secret. There are many people who have ideas about the diamonds in the library.
Wan Chaoxin actually took out such a thing and gave it to Li Xiu. This gift was not unimportant.
"Since you are so sincere, I will accept it." Li Xiu was not polite at all and directly took the box and the necklace over.
Wan Chaoxin shot three arrows at him, and Li Xiu felt that he deserved some compensation.
As for the super-spiritual gem that Li Xiu grabbed, Li Xiu believed that it was something that had no owner and could only be obtained by a capable person. It was not given to him by Wan Chaoxin, so it certainly could not be counted as Wan Chaoxin's.
Wan Chaoxin didn't stop him, he just smiled and watched.
The six groups of Changsheng are all under the control of the four major families. Li Xiu, the leader of the seventh group, is considered an anomaly.
Wan Chaoxin wants to become the leader of the Seeking Group through a challenge. Even if he succeeds, it will be difficult to get along with other groups in the future. As for Li Xiu's technician group, he may be able to cooperate with him.
Moreover, Li Xiu may also have a relationship with the Li family. If Li Xiu can be drawn into his camp, it will be of great benefit to the Wan Chao family without any harm. This is why Wan Chaoxin is willing to spend a lot of money.
Of course, it's just one Cullinan No. 7, and it's not the previous ones. Even if a radiant demon spirit appears, Wan Chaoxin doesn't care too much.
"Power is such a good thing. I have just become the commander-in-chief, and my former enemies have already started giving me such expensive gifts." Li Xiu sighed in his heart.
