Li Xiu hadn't finished his cup of tea when he saw Lao Immortal pushing open the door and walking in.
"Boss boss?" Li Xiu knew Lao Immortal, but he was a little surprised that Lao Immortal turned out to be the boss of Baoguang Pavilion.
He remembered that Sha Chu had said that Baoguang Pavilion should be the property of the Mo family, so why was it related to the Immortal Group again?
"Mr. Li, please sit down." The old man smiled and invited Li Xiu to sit down. Then he placed two wooden boxes in front of Li Xiu. As if he saw the doubts in Li Xiu's heart, he said, "This Baoguang Pavilion also has
With my little share, I can be regarded as the second boss."
"That's it." Li Xiu nodded and said nothing more.
The old immortal is one of the few chiefs who is not a member of the four major families, and he has been the chief for many years. Some people say that he is the longest-lived chief. From this alone, you know that this man is definitely not a simple man.
Without the background of the four major families, to be the longest-serving chief minister must have something special about him.
There aren't many people named Lao in this world, and Li Xiu doesn't know if Lao Immortal's real surname is Lao, but everyone else calls him that.
"Director Li, if you want a super-soul sapphire, do you need a pure sapphire, or can other colors of sapphires be used? I really don't have a pure super-soul sapphire here, so I'm afraid your trip will be in vain.
” said the old immortal.
"So there are other colors of super spiritual sapphires?" Li Xiudao was not obsessed with blue sapphires.
In the sapphire family, there are also a series of sapphires such as pink sapphire, purple sapphire, yellow sapphire, green sapphire and so on.
Therefore, sapphire is not necessarily blue.
Of course, with the same quality, blue sapphires are generally the most expensive.
"There are two of them, but I don't know if Mr. Li can appreciate them." The old man said, opening one of the boxes, and purple fluorescence suddenly shot out from the box, casting the whole room in a mysterious purple color.
.
Purple sapphire is synonymous with mystery and luxury. This super-spiritual purple sapphire is the size of a goose egg, and there is a purple light group inside that is changing and flickering. It is indescribably mysterious and strange.
The old man introduced: "This purple sapphire comes from the former gem kingdom of Sri Lanka, which is rich in all kinds of gems. Although the Red Sand City is known as the best gem producing area in the world, the quality of Sri Lanka's gems is by no means inferior to the Red Sand City.
, even more so. However, because Sri Lanka’s gem production is larger and the color is slightly different, it is generally believed that the gems produced in Sri Lanka are not as good as those from Red Sand City. In fact, the difference is not too big.”
"This purple sapphire came from a small mine in Sri Lanka. To be honest, the mine is not big, so the super spiritual upper limit of this super spiritual purple sapphire may not be too high. I just don't know if Mr. Li can see it.
Eye."
"Can I get started?" Li Xiu asked.
"Director Li, please." The old man handed a pair of white gloves to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu put on his gloves and then carefully picked up the super spiritual purple sapphire. After looking at it carefully for a while, he slowly put it back into the box.
"What's going on with the other super-soul sapphire?" Li Xiu looked at the old immortal and asked.
The old man did not open the box directly this time: "Mr. Li is well-informed, he must have heard of the Padparadscha Sapphire, right?"
"The boss is joking. Everyone should know about such a famous gemstone as Padparadscha." Li Xiu said, "Paparadscha is a compound word in ancient Ceylon. It should mean lotus color. Among sapphires,
Padparadscha refers to a lotus-colored sapphire that combines two tones of pink and orange. Its quantity is very rare, and the value of a real padparadscha is comparable to any top-quality gemstone."
"Yes, Sri Lanka used to be a Buddhist country. The lotus represents holiness in Buddhism, and padparadscha is also known as the holiest gemstone. In the past, it was a color made from the fusion of five-point pink and five-point orange.
It is called padparadscha, and its color is also the most beautiful and rare." The old man smiled and said: "But because padparadscha that is exactly 50% pink and 50% orange is so rare, the merchants expanded the range of papparadscha.
The concept of padparadscha, as long as there are two colors of pink and orange sapphires, they are called padparadscha.
.”
"Later, I also came up with sunset-colored Padparadscha and sun-colored Padparadscha, which are just a matter of the pink-orange ratio. Although sunset-colored and sun-colored Padparadscha are also synonymous with beauty, the real Padparadscha
In fact, only 50% can be counted. Otherwise, if it does not show the color of a lotus, how can it be called a lotus gem?"
"Don't you, the boss, want to tell me that you have a Padparadscha Super Soul Sapphire here?" Li Xiu said, looking at the other box.
The old man opened the box without saying a word, and a strange brilliance bloomed from the box.
The color is hard to describe. It's not as red as red, but it makes people feel warm. It's not as strong as orange, which makes people feel clean.
Just like the color of a lotus flower, the petals are just opening, and the powder on the snow seems not to be stained by any dust.
In the fist-sized super-spiritual gem, there was a ball of light like a lotus blooming continuously, just like the petals blooming and withering, regenerating and regenerating endlessly.
"There really is Padparadscha Super Spirit Sapphire?" Li Xiu was somewhat surprised. This color, which is hard to see in nature, is too precious, and the chance is too low to produce such a color.
If you have a super spiritual gem, the chance is even lower.
"Yes, this is a pure padparadscha color super spiritual gem, with a balance of pink and orange tones of 50/50. This super spiritual gem also comes from the former mining area in Sri Lanka. As for which mining area, it is difficult to disclose, but
I can guarantee that it is definitely a big mine, and the upper limit of supersoul is at least 90%. If you can't reach it, you can come to me to settle the account, and I will refund you the full amount." said the old immortal.
"It's not easy to keep such a good super spiritual gem until now." Li Xiu said lightly.
The old man sighed and said, "Who says otherwise? If it weren't for some special reasons, this super spiritual gem would have been bought by someone long ago."
"I wonder what the special reason is?" Li Xiu asked calmly.
From the first time he saw this super spiritual gem, he had already decided to buy it.
You have to buy it, but there are some things you need to understand.
"Unfortunately, since the birth of this super-spiritual gem, it has been accompanied by a lot of troubles. Many people think it is a bit ominous. Director Li should also understand that the super-soul thing itself is very mysterious. Who is willing to use it?
Where is an ominous super soul gem to go to the super soul? So this super soul gem was delayed." The old immortal sighed.
Li Xiu knew that the so-called ominous usually meant that someone had died because of this gem.
Li Xiu does not reject ominous gems. Most demon gems have killed people because of them, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
However, Li Xiu felt that the old immortal might not have told the whole story. Would a place like Changshengtian not use a super-spiritual gem just because it has killed people?
Li Xiu understood in his heart, but didn't say much. He just asked: "How does the boss plan to sell this Padparadscha Super Spiritual Gem?"
"If Mr. Li sincerely wants to buy it, then I won't hide it from you, because this super spiritual gem has indeed killed many people, so not many people dare to buy it.
If Mr. Li really wants it, then I will give you the lowest price without any counter-offer." Mr. Li said and raised a finger.
"One dollar?" Li Xiu asked.
The old immortal smiled and said: "Director Li is joking, if you want 10 billion longevity coins, that's the number. You can't miss a penny."
"Is such an ominous super-spiritual gem still selling for 10 billion immortality coins?" Although Li Xiu had already been mentally prepared, he was still shocked.
Immortality coins are not money like red sand coins, but they are very valuable. Ten billion is definitely not a small amount.
The gems that Li Xiu bought from the Seed Light Technique Pit together, if converted into growth coins, are worth several billion, and I'm afraid it's not even 10 billion.
At that time, Li Xiu already felt that he was very rich, but it turned out that he could not even afford a super spiritual gem.
What's more, Li Xiu has used some of them before, and the gems he has left now are probably only worth two to three billion longevity coins, making them even more unaffordable.
.
"If it weren't for those problems, it would never have been sold for less than 100 billion." The old man smiled and said: "This super spiritual purple sapphire is cheap, only 2 billion. If Mr. Li needs it, we can sell it in our store
There are also some super-spiritual gems obtained from demon spirits, some of which are cheaper. The lowest one only costs less than one billion, eight hundred and eighty-eight hundred and eight hundred and eighty-eight dollars. The quality is also good. Would Mr. Li want to take a look?
” said the old immortal.
"Are there any super spiritual gems that don't use billions as units?" Li Xiu asked.
"Not yet. The super-spiritual gems on the earth are extremely rare and their value remains high. We have no good solution." The old immortal muttered: "Although the super-spiritual gems on the demon spirits are relatively easy to obtain, they are still relatively easy to obtain.
The explosion rate is not high, and there are too many monks and too little meat. Now when we purchase super-spiritual gems, even the worst ones are purchased in units of hundreds of millions, which is very difficult."
"Such a super spiritual gem is worth a year's GDP of a small country." Li Xiu sighed.
"Can a small country produce a supersoul tester?" the old man said with a smile.
"That's right." Li Xiu put the suitcase he brought on the table and opened it, revealing various gems inside.
"Exchange these gems for this Padparadscha Super Spiritual Gem. If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to leave." Li Xiu said.
Lao Bu Die is definitely an expert. He roughly estimated the value of these gems just by looking at them.
"If you give a rough estimate of these gems, if you add more, they are worth about three billion. The gap is really too big." The old man said.
"Then there's nothing we can do, sorry to bother you." Li Xiu said, zipping up the box, getting up and getting ready to leave.
He doesn't really want to make progress by taking a step back, he really can't afford it.
"Director Li, wait a moment. I have a proposal. If Director Li can accept it, you can take away the Padparadscha Super Spiritual Gem without spending any money." The old man said to keep Li Xiu.
"Mr. Boss, please speak." Li Xiu stopped and looked at the old immortal.
He doesn't believe that there are such good things in the world. Things that cost nothing often cost more.
"Director Li, have you ever heard of the Sword Soul Gate?" the old man said.
"I've never heard of it." Li Xiu shook his head slightly.
The old man sighed and said: "The Sword Soul Gate was originally just a trial gate with a low risk level, but a year ago, the Sword Soul Gate suddenly exploded. In the past year, there have been more than a dozen super souls.
Those who want to break out of the Sword Soul Gate also include a light-based demon spirit."
"With your strength, Mr. Boss, it shouldn't be a problem for just Super Soul and Light Base, right?" Li Xiu didn't know what the old man meant by mentioning the Sword Soul Gate.
"If I was guarding the Sword Soul Gate, then there would be no problem. The problem is that the person guarding the Sword Soul Gate is my son. He is still just a super soul. Although he still has some abilities, he can suppress the current Sword Soul Gate.
There is still some weakness in my strength. The last time the light-based demon tried to rush out, I almost lost my life."
"If you are worried about his safety, you can change someone to guard the Sword Soul Gate." Li Xiu looked at the old immortal, knowing that he must have something more to say.
"I'm ashamed to say it. I worked so hard to get him to the Sword Soul Gate in the first place. Now it's a bit troublesome to get him out." Lao Wushu explained the general situation.
The former Sword Soul Gate was indeed a good place. It was not very dangerous, but the resources inside were very rich. Especially for the trialists who had a symbiosis contract with a sword, not only could they obtain resources there, but they were also very similar to the sword contract.
match.
Sword-type talents, sword-type skills, sword-type super-spiritual gems, etc. For those who practice swordsmanship, the Sword Soul Gate is a great treasure.
The son of Lao Immortal is a swordsman, and his symbiotic contract is also a sword. The old Immortal spent a lot of effort to get his son the position of guarding the Sword Soul Gate.
Who would have known that only two years had passed, and the Sword Soul Gate had become extremely dangerous. If he continued to let his son guard it, it might be gone one day.
But when I first took this position,
He offended several people from the families he was competing with at the time, especially the Han family. He fought fiercely with Lao Immortal at that time, but ended up with no success.
According to the rules at that time, the son of the old immortal must guard the Sword Soul Gate for ten years before he can be rotated to others. If he wanted to be rotated in advance, the Han family would probably not be the first to agree.
"Isn't it said that it rotates every three years?" Li Xiu asked with some confusion.
"Actually, it is divided into several different levels. Three years is the lowest level, and there are five years and ten years. Ten years is the highest level. At that time, I wanted to buy more time for my son. Who knew it would end up like this?
It's really hard to get off the tiger." The old man sighed.
"In this case, how can I help?" Li Xiu didn't know what the use was of asking him about this matter. Even if he was willing to send someone to replace him, the Han family would not agree.
The old man said quickly: "If you want to get my son back early, after much deliberation, there is only one way for me to transfer my son to your technician team."
"He can't be replaced in your team, so can he be replaced in my team?" Li Xiu felt that this was unreliable.
"Your technician team is a little different, because most of your team members are magic costumers, and magic costumers have a high probability of being sacrificed. Someone often sacrifices, so when I was still a magic costume team, I had a privilege.
Adjust the list of personnel guarding the trial gate by yourself. If my son is transferred to your group, you can use this rule to adjust my son to guard other trial gates. Even if the Han family wants to stop it, I will do my best to help.
, this is just nonsense, even if we go to the president, no one can tell what is right or wrong."
"If Mr. Li is willing to do this for me, I will give this Padparadscha Super Spiritual Gem to you without taking any money. I will give it to you with both hands." The old man took out the gem and brought it to Li Xiu.
"I need to think about this matter. The boss should be very clear about the situation of my technician team. There are not many people who can guard such a place." Li Xiu did not immediately accept the old immortal's proposal.
He couldn't let his team members die because of a super spiritual gem.
"If Jing Li can guard the Sword Soul Gate, he will be absolutely safe." The old man had already thought about this. From the beginning, he had no intention of collecting Li Xiu's money.
"It's a pity that Jing Li doesn't use a sword. He is not suitable to guard the Sword Soul Gate." Li Xiu frowned.
"Swords are all connected. Besides, there are less than seven years left to guard the Sword Soul Gate. At that time, it will be reassigned and adjusted, and it will be the turn of other groups to guard it." The old immortal looked at Li Xiu and said: "
As long as Director Li can do this for me, I owe you a favor, and I will repay you if you are of any use to me in the future."
"Can you show me the detailed information about the Sword Soul Gate?" Li Xiu said thoughtfully.
"Of course." The old man clapped his hands, and soon someone opened the door and placed a stack of information in front of Li Xiu.
Li Xiu picked up the information and read it for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm afraid I really can't help you."
According to the data, the Sword Soul Gate is indeed a good place with quite abundant resources, but those resources are not very useful to people who don’t use swords.
Moreover, the risk is indeed too great now. Among the people under his command, only Jing Li is capable of guarding it, but Jing Li is practicing swordsmanship, so that place is not suitable for him.
Li Xiu was unwilling to sacrifice Jing Li's seven years for his own benefit, which would slow down Jing Li's growth a lot.
Just when Li Xiu stood up and was about to leave, the old man suddenly said: "Director Li is indeed a man of temperament. It doesn't matter. Let's exchange this box of gems for this Papapalapa super spiritual gem. Just treat it as...
Make a friend. If Director Li changes his mind later and is willing to do this for me, old man, I have something else to give as a gift."
"I don't have the need anymore. Jing Li can't guard the Sword Soul Gate." Li Xiu shook his head.
"It doesn't matter, just think of it as making a friend. I'm always willing to make friends with people like Director Li who value love and justice." The old man pushed the box containing the gems in front of Li Xiu.
"Mr. Boss, are you sure you want to exchange?" Li Xiu looked at the old immortal calmly.
said.
"It's better to have many friends than enemies." The old man said with a smile.
"Thank you very much." Li Xiu pushed his box of gems to the old man, put away the Padparadscha Super Spiritual Gem, said goodbye and left Baoguang Pavilion.
After Li Xiu left, Mo Wuya entered the VIP room, looked at the old man and said, "I didn't explain clearly about the padparadscha. Isn't that bad?"
The old man smiled and said: "When he can't figure it out, he will naturally come to beg me."
