"What if you want to live? What if you want to die?" Li Xiu was very interested in these highly intelligent demon spirits and asked while hiding in the door.
"On a dark, windy, rainy night, it's easy to die. All you need to do is blow on the immortal lamp and you'll know what happened." The demon under the umbrella said slowly.
Li Xiu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. However, he did not blow on the longevity lamp. He just said, "It seems that you have been eyeing me for more than a day or two."
The demon spirit under the umbrella did not answer Li Xiu's question, but continued: "If you want to live, just hand over the sword embryo."
"Sword embryo? What sword embryo?" Li Xiu was a little surprised. This demonic spirit actually came for the great sword embryo that he got. He thought that this demonic spirit wanted to break out of the trial place.
Li Xiu stayed here for a month and saw more than a dozen sword embryos, but they were basically all useless. He only brought one sword back.
The demon spirit asked him to hand over the sword embryo, but it could only be this one.
"Of course it's the glorious sword embryo you carry," the demon said.
"What kind of glorious sword embryo? The sword embryo I brought back was as black as ink, with no light at all." Li Xiu said.
"Ignorant humans, the radiant sword embryo refers to the sword embryo that can withstand the power of radiance. It has nothing to do with whether it can shine or not." The demon said disdainfully.
"What you are talking about is the power of radiance. Do you mean the light energy of radiant quality?" Li Xiu asked.
"You can also say that." The demon said.
"So, the sword embryo should be divided into four qualities: flowing color, sparkle, brilliance and brilliance?" Li Xiu asked again.
"That's right," the demon replied.
"What do you want with this sword embryo?" Li Xiu continued to ask.
"You have so many questions. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. I want to live or die and decide with one word." The demon snorted coldly.
Li Xiu didn't make a sound, but quietly blew into the flame of his longevity lamp.
The originally dim yellow flame turned into a strange blue when Li Xiu blew it out. Not only was it not blown out, it actually became bigger.
"Sure enough, it can't be blown away." Although Li Xiu had already guessed that this might be the result, he was still a little surprised.
The demon spirit can actually make the immortal lamp immortal. This is the first time he has encountered this situation, and he has never heard of it before.
"It actually has such terrifying abilities. What level is this demon spirit?" Li Xiu frowned secretly. He couldn't run away now. If he didn't hand over the sword embryo, he might not be able to defeat this demon spirit.
The main reason is that I don’t know the ability and level of this demon spirit, and fighting it is too dangerous.
Li Xiu tried to blow a few more breaths, but not only could he not blow it out, but the more he blew, the more it burned. The flame of the longevity lamp was almost turning into a small blue flame torch.
"You can continue to blow." The demon spirit outside seemed to know that Li Xiu was blowing the longevity lamp, and said with a sneer.
"I can give you the sword embryo, what do you want in exchange?" Li Xiu gave up the idea of blowing out the longevity lamp and said to the outside.
"You are already on the verge of death, and you still want to bargain with me?" The demon's voice became colder and colder.
"Why can't you bargain? If you could have rushed in, you would have rushed in a long time ago. Why would you stand outside and talk so much nonsense to me? Since I can't run away, you can't come in. Talking about the price...isn't normal.
Something..." Before Li Xiu could finish speaking, he was stunned.
The workshop door creaked open, and the demon holding an umbrella pushed the door open with one hand and walked in.
"Continue." The demon stood in front of Li Xiu and said mockingly.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Li Xiu coughed lightly and said, "A demon spirit with such quality as you shouldn't steal my things, right?"
"What do you think?" The umbrella in the demon spirit's hand lifted slightly, revealing a beautiful face that was both happy and angry, and a pair of charming eyes, looking at him with a smile but not a smile.
"That shouldn't happen, right?" Li Xiu said.
"Now that you have said it, I am a qualified demon spirit, so of course I will not steal your things.
"The demon smiled and nodded, but then continued: "But if you take something from a dead person, it's not called robbing, it's called picking up, right?"
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it." Li Xiu sighed softly: "It seems like this sword embryo is given to you, so you don't have to go to the trouble of picking it up."
"It seems that you also have a quality human being." The demon smiled.
"There's just something I don't quite understand. Could you please help me clear it up?" Li Xiu said.
The sound of rain outside the door became louder and louder, and the thunder and lightning continued to roar, rumbling as if the sky was about to collapse.
The demon spirit turned his head and glanced outside the door, and said calmly: "I don't have much time, and you don't have much time. It's still too late to hand over the sword embryo, otherwise even if I don't want to kill you, you will still be alive."
It’s not possible.”
"Who else wants to kill me besides you?" Li Xiu asked.
"You are really a troublesome person. It seems that it is easier to pick up things." The demon said and walked towards Li Xiu.
Li Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was already ready to use the ghost to cover his eyes.
Since the trickster's illusion uses the illusion sword as the carrier, it can only be used by combining light energy and spiritual consciousness.
Li Xiu was able to make the old man fall into an illusion. He took advantage of the opportunity to touch the illusory sword and used his spiritual consciousness to swallow back the power of the illusory sword. He himself does not yet have the ability to combine light energy with spiritual consciousness, so he can only
Simply using spiritual consciousness or pure light energy does not have the ability to integrate the two, so he cannot use the illusory sword.
Just when Li Xiu was about to use the ghost to cover his eyes, he suddenly saw the figure of the bride-to-be flashing. She left Li Xiu and floated out, landing next to the longevity lamp.
"Husband, do you need me to blow out the lamp for you?" the bride-to-be said as she approached the longevity lamp, her face covered by a red hijab.
Her red hijab swayed slightly, and the bead pendant below fluttered, bringing with it a slight breeze. The breeze actually caused the flame of the longevity lamp to sway. The flame, which was originally as big as a small torch, was blown by the wind.
It shrunk a lot all of a sudden and is almost back to its original size.
The demon spirit that was originally walking towards Li Xiu suddenly stopped and looked at the bride to be married with some doubts.
"Who are you?" The demon looked at it for a long time, with doubts still in its eyes.
The bride-to-be ignored her and just continued to ask: "Husband, do you want to blow out the lamp for you?"
"You prepare first, I'll say a few words to her." Li Xiu was pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect that the bride to be married would have such ability.
The bride-to-be snorted lightly and stood next to the longevity lamp, ready to blow out the flame at any time.
"Can we have a good talk now?" Li Xiu looked at the demon spirit and said.
The demon spirit sighed softly: "We can talk about the price now."
"Don't worry, can you tell me your name?" Li Xiu looked at the demon and asked.
"Mute," replied the demon.
"What?" Li Xiu looked at the demon spirit in confusion, thinking that he heard wrongly.
"My name is Mute." The demon said again.
"But you are not mute. Not only are you not mute, your voice is also very nice." Li Xiu said.
Being able to speak does not mean that you are not mute." The demon said calmly: "Whether you are mute depends on whether what you say has any effect. If what you say is of no use and has no influence, then it is not the same as being mute.
What’s the difference?”
"That makes sense." Li Xiu nodded slightly: "Let's just call you Mute. Where do you come from? A demon spirit like you shouldn't be an unknown person among the demon spirit clan, right?"
"I came from Changsheng Island." The mute said.
Li Xiu wanted to ask something else, but the mute glanced at the increasingly dark clouds outside the door and said, "You and I have no time. Now you only have two choices, blow out the longevity lamp and never come here again, or use the sword."
Give me the embryo, and then everything will have nothing to do with you, and you can still live your old life."
"What's there?" Li Xiu also looked at the dark clouds outside the door. The dark clouds were like mountains, as if they were hanging above the workshop, making people feel extremely depressed.
"I can't explain it in a sentence or two. By the time I explain it clearly, it will be too late." The mute looked at Li Xiu and said, "What do you want in the last minute?"
"What can you give?" Li Xiu asked.
It seemed that time was really pressing. Mute had no intention of talking nonsense to Li Xiu. He pulled out something from his hair and threw it to him: "Exchange this for the sword embryo. If you want to exchange, give me the sword embryo. If you don't want to exchange,
We broke up in a hurry, I left and you turned on the lamp."
Li Xiu caught what she threw and saw that it was a thin stick like amethyst, with one end round and the other square. It looked like chopsticks, and there was only one stick.
"Are these chopsticks?" Li Xiu asked, holding a thin stick.
The mute didn't answer, he just turned around and walked out the door, saying as he walked: "You wish yourself well."
"Go on." Li Xiu held the chopsticks and thought for a moment, then threw the two-handed sword embryo towards the mute.
The mute did not turn around, and caught the sword with her backhand. The sword, which weighed a thousand kilograms, was as light as foam in her hands. She walked out of the workshop door with the sword in one hand and an umbrella in the other.
"Don't lose your things, it will be good for you." A mute voice came from the rain. When the voice fell, it was clear that the person had only walked a few steps, but he had already gone a long way.
As the mute went away, the dark clouds that were pressing down like mountains gradually rose up, the rain gradually slowed down, and the thunder slowly faded away.
When Li Xiu couldn't see the purple light on the mute umbrella at all, the thunderstorm had stopped, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the world outside the door had returned to its former clarity. The rain on the ground had disappeared without a trace, as if there had never been a drop.
rain.
If he hadn't been holding the amethyst chopsticks in his hands and the sword embryo had disappeared, Li Xiu would have thought that all that was just an illusion.
"What a strange demon spirit." Li Xiu had a lot of doubts in his heart, but unfortunately he didn't bother to ask.
I glanced at the amethyst chopsticks in my hand, and there was a strange purple light flowing inside, but it was not strong, and there was only a very weak fluctuation of light energy.
It doesn't look like a contract, and it has nothing to do with demon spirits. It seems to be a kind of demon material.
Unable to figure out the reason after research, Li Xiu had no choice but to put it away and planned to take it back for the old official to test.
Li Xiu looked at the bride-to-be next to the longevity lantern, but found that she had disappeared. When he lowered his head, he didn't know when she had turned into a ring and returned it to her hand.
Li Xiu walked out of the workshop door and took a look. The sky was clear outside and there was no sign of any demons nearby.
Li Xiu had no choice but to return to the workshop as planned, blow out the longevity lamp that had returned to normal, and return to the outside of the Sword Soul Gate in the blink of an eye.
Li Xiu returned to Courtyard No. 7. Except for the old man, there was no one else in Courtyard No. 7.
After asking, I found out that they had all gone to different trial gates, and they didn't know when they would be able to come back.
"Laoqian, where exactly is the sword-making workshop in the Land of Sword Soul?" Li Xiujiu really wanted to ask Laoqian about the Land of Sword Soul.
"I don't know." The old man shook his head and said, "Those sword-making workshops look like they were written by people from the Demon Kingdom, but no traces or writing of the people from the Demon Kingdom were found there, so no one knows whether those sword-making workshops are actually the work of people from the Demon Kingdom.
It was done by people from the Demon Kingdom, and I have sent people to conduct special research before, but in the end there was no conclusion."
"According to those who have done research, the material for casting the sword embryo may have been pulled up from the ground by machines in the workshop, and the material is very unstable, and the final sword embryo cast may be good or bad. For this reason, there are still
I specially collected a lot of sword embryos. I originally wanted to study them in the hope that they could be used as materials for magic equipment. It turned out that the material properties of the sword embryos were very weird and could not transmit inactive magic light, so the magic equipment could not use that material.
That’s it.”
"The inability to transmit inactive magic light means that only the magic light of living demon spirits can be transmitted in the sword embryo?" Li Xiu asked.
"That's probably what I mean." The old man nodded.
"That's really strange." Li Xiu told the story about the storm and the mute again.
Crook
Hearing this, he was a little stunned: "I have been guarding the Land of Sword Soul for three years, and I have never seen it rain there. I have seen a lot of demons, but I have never seen the kind of demons you mentioned."
"It seems that the storm is really related to that demon spirit." Li Xiu pondered.
The old man couldn't explain why, so Li Xiu could only give up.
"How is your situation now?" Li Xiu asked.
"I still haven't figured it out." The old man shook his head.
"Then think about it slowly, don't worry." Li Xiu took a bath and had a solid sleep. When Sha Chu came back early the next morning, he gave her the talent gems, demon rings and skill rings and asked her to
Take it and exchange it for resources.
Li Xiu himself went to Sun Tianlei to buy some artificial diamonds from last time and fed them to the synthetic capsules.
The result surprised Li Xiu. The synthetic capsule did not eat the artificial diamonds, but instead made two artificial diamonds synthesize into a larger diamond, and then spit it out.
Curious, Li Xiu tried several more times and found that artificial diamonds can be synthesized infinitely, and small diamonds can be synthesized into large diamonds.
It's just that there is a certain amount of consumption during synthesis. About a quarter of the gems will be consumed during synthesis.
Li Xiu also tried to synthesize some other types of gems. There are also no restrictions. Natural gems such as sapphires and rubies can be synthesized, and the consumption is slightly more than artificial diamonds, about one-third.
This kind of synthesis does not make much sense for ordinary gemstones.
Small gems can be used in the same way, there is no need to synthesize large gems.
However, during the synthesis process, the synthetic capsule was upgraded by one level, from E level to D level. In addition to the level increase, no new talents and skills were awakened.
"I wonder if synthesizing demon gems will have any special effects." Li Xiu plans to get some demon gems to try in the future.
After packing his things, Li Xiu returned to the Sword Soul Gate, passed the trial again, and got the ticket randomly three times in a row and entered the Sword Soul Land.
The Land of Sword Soul remained the same as when I left, and some demon spirits gathered outside the workshop.
Li Xiu took the Fire Lotus Sword and continued to kill the demon spirit in order to condense all its light veins.
Searching for the demon spirit day after day, the light veins of the Fire Lotus Sword slowly condensed one by one.
One month passed quickly. Because I didn't meet the light-based demon spirit, the light veins of the Fire Lotus Sword were not condensed very quickly. It only reached twenty, which was still four short of perfection.
Some sword embryos were also obtained in the process, but sword veins like the two-handed sword were never encountered again.
There seemed to be no light-based demons nearby, so Li Xiu had no choice but to take the Fire Lotus Sword to a farther place.
"The Fire Lotus Sword has killed more than a dozen Super Souls. Why didn't even a Super Soul Gem come out? Could it be that they were all swallowed by it?" Li Xiu watched as the Fire Lotus Sword killed another Super Soul.
But nothing was left behind, and I couldn't help but secretly doubt it.
With Fire Lotus Sword's unique personality, this is very possible. Otherwise, it would be impossible to kill more than a dozen super souls in the past two months without even a single super soul gem.
If it was really that independent, Li Xiu had to consider taking action to deal with it himself when he encountered the super spirit.
Boom!
Li Xiu was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a thunderbolt in the clear sky. When Li Xiu looked up, dark clouds had completely covered the sky.
The sky suddenly darkened, lightning flashed in the clouds, thunder rumbled, and the dark clouds like mountains and seas gradually lowered, and another storm was about to hit.
"Come again!" Li Xiu quickly summoned the Masked Emperor, turned the accelerator to the bottom, and rushed out.
Li Xiu's whole body was wrapped in a golden cycling suit and helmet, blending into the golden motorcycle, running like a golden lightning on the plain.
The clouds were getting lower and lower, and thunder continued to sound in the sky.
Li Xiu had gone too far, and before he could return to the workshop, the rain was already pouring down from the sky.
「
I didn't get the high-level sword embryo, why are you here again?" The heavy rain hit Li Xiu and the Masked Emperor. Although it didn't hurt, the surroundings were so blurry that they couldn't see anything and could only rely on their own direction.
Feeling like riding forward.
A huge lightning like an electric dragon flashed across the sky, illuminating the dark sky. Li Xiu stared ahead. Under the light of the lightning, he saw a terrifying figure emerging from the clouds.
