"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 hint of blue, and it looks extremely transparent.

Just the first time he saw this diamond, Li Xiu immediately felt a feeling of hunger, this was obviously a demon spirit 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 with some surprise.

Some people may not have heard of the Cullinan diamond, but when it comes to the Star of Africa, there should be very few people who have not heard of it.

On the scepter of royal power of an ancient country, it is inlaid with the world's second largest diamond, the "Star of Africa", known as the "King of Diamonds", weighing more than 500 carats, which is an extremely rare giant diamond.

In fact, the Star of Africa is one of the diamonds divided by the Cullinan diamond, the Cullinan rough has more than 3,000 carats, cut into nine large diamonds and 96 small diamonds, the total weight is more than 1,000 carats, and the finished product is only about one-third of the rough stone, and the consumption is very large.

The Star of Africa, also known as the Cullinan I, is the largest of the nine large diamonds, and the most famous, set in a scepter.

The smallest of the nine large diamonds, more than four carats, is pear-shaped, which is very consistent with the diamond brought by Li Qingyin.

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

"Even if it's a Cullinan diamond, it's no different from an ordinary diamond, and with a weight of more than four carats, it's not worth much." Li Xiu said tentatively.

"What if it's a Radiant Demon Spirit Gem?" Li Qingyin said.

"Are you sure it's a Radiant Demon Spirit Gem?" Li Xiu was a little surprised.

"I'm not 100% sure, but it's pretty much the same. I've seen Cullinan One, Three, and Four, and they all have Radiant Spirits, the smallest of which has not yet been contracted, but they are all Cullinans, and they have a great chance of giving birth to Radiant Spirits, so you can choose to gamble on them. Of course, you can also not gamble, even if I haven't taken it out. Li Qingyin said with a smile.

"It may sound tempting, but where did you get this diamond from? How do I know if it's the real Cullinan Nine? Li Xiu groaned.

"This is my mother's birthday present, she shouldn't lie to me." Li Qingyin said.

Li Xiu secretly smacked his tongue, giving this kind of thing as a birthday gift, how good Li Qingyin's family is, I'm afraid it won't be worse than Chu Jun.

"What do you want?" Li Xiu wanted to gamble, at least he already knew that this was definitely a demon spirit gem, even if it wasn't Cullinan, or if he didn't have a glorious demon spirit, he wouldn't lose.

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

"I can't mix the wine right now, I'll have to wait a while." Li Xiu groaned.

"How long?" Li Qingyin stared at Li Xiu and asked.

"One year at the latest." Li Xiu is still a little sure, because in the bartending formula, some clues can be seen, one of the recipes is suspected of having attributes such as wind, fire and thunder, but it needs to be verified first, so Li Xiu didn't dare to respond directly.

"A year is too long, can half a year work?" Li Qingyin frowned.

"Yes, but your spokesperson will continue to fulfill the contract." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Qingyin wanted to say something, 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 exchange for the three-attribute wine, if it really can't work, he has to accept the identity of the spokesperson.

Since Li Xiu took a step back, she didn't have to show her face, and Li Qingyin was quite satisfied with this result.

"I'll take the diamonds, and I'll let you know when it's time to mix. Now that you're here, let's take a promotional photo first. Li Xiu smiled and picked up the box containing Cullinan No. 9 and put it directly into the drawer.

"Isn't it unreasonable that you didn't pay anything and took all the benefits first? We should pay with one hand and deliver with the other. Bai Ying said dissatisfiedly.

"If you don't trust me, the deal can be stopped." 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 shoot three sets of promotional photos and three sets of videos in the past three years, and I need to communicate separately in terms of time." Li Qingyin did not take back the box, but pushed it back in front of Li Xiu.

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

"Convenient, remember what you said, don't let me show my face, if you violate the agreement, you will have to bear the consequences." Li Qingyin said.

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

"The Ronin Who Started from Douluo"

Chu Jun is already familiar with this matter, and he has always been doing the publicity work of the Demon Spirit Contest before, and he has also taken promotional photos.

Seeing that Li Xiu really signed Li Qingyin as a spokesperson, Chu Jun was very happy.

He didn't have any thoughts about Li Qingyin, but he just felt that with Fuxue Ji as the spokesperson, the reputation of the Demon Spirit Contest and the City of Light should be higher.

After Chu Jun and Li Qingyin left, Li Xiu took out the Cullinan No. 9 again, pinched it in his hand and observed it carefully.

This diamond is indeed very similar to the Cullinan Nine, although Li Xiu has not seen the real thing, but he has seen the photos.

And he had also seen the Cullinan II, which was inlaid in the crown of the ancient kingdom, and that crown should be in Space City now.

In the past, when Li Xiu was in Space City, he had seen the crown and the Cullinan II in the crown, and it seemed that the color and luster of this diamond were very close to the Cullinan II in the crown.

"Li Qingyin said that Cullinan No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 are all pregnant with glorious demon spirits, and now No. 9 is also pregnant with demon spirits, and among the other Cullinan diamonds, they should also be pregnant with demon spirits, I don't know where the other Cullinan diamonds are, if there is a chance to find them, I can get them back and do some experiments to see if there will be any connection between the demons of these Cullinan diamonds."

Li Xiu looked at the Cullinan Nine and thought to himself: "Theoretically, the gem can give birth to demon spirits, it must be the result of being planted, and it has nothing to do with whether they come from the same rough stone, unless they have been planted before they are cut, it is possible that all Cullinan diamonds have demon spirits in them." ”

"But if the Demon Spirit Gem is cut, will the Demon Spirit also be cut? If the Demon Spirit will not be cut, then there should only be one Cullinan with the Demon Spirit, and now so many Cullinan diamonds have Demon Spirits in them, which is a bit of a problem. ”

"Is it because the demon spirit has been divided, or is it that when the spirit was planted, there was not only one spirit that was planted in the Cullinan diamond?"

Li Xiu couldn't guess that unless he got other Cullinan diamonds, it would be possible to solve this puzzle.

Li Xiu broke his finger and drilled the blood on the number nine in the library.

Fortunately, the ninth in the library did not reject Li Xiu's blood like that ruby, and after the brilliant diamond absorbed Li Xiu's blood, it immediately bloomed with brilliance, and finally turned into a streamer and flew towards Li Xiu's finger.

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

"Too many demons are also a kind of distress, and they are almost impossible to wear." Li Xiu didn't know what would happen to those demon spirit rings if he really couldn't wear them anymore.

Sealed Devil: Evolvable Spirit.

Grade: Grade E.

Quality: Radiant (incomplete).

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

"What's going on?" Seeing the appearance of this demon spirit clearly, Li Xiu couldn't help but be a little stunned.

The demon spirit he summoned was still the appearance of Cullinan Nine at all, but now Cullinan Nine was able to levitate itself in the air, and within that diamond, there was also a red light that appeared and disappeared from time to time, like a blood-red devil's eye opening and closing in it.

After testing it for a while, I found that this thing didn't seem to be very useful, except for being able to fly and flash, it had no actual combat ability, and no natural skills.

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

Early the next morning, Chu Jun took the taken propaganda photos to Li Xiu, and the effect was surprisingly good.

Li Qingyin was wearing a cyan gauze skirt, like a fairy in ancient oriental myths and legends, with a veil on her face, and behind her was a lonely and arrogant snow girl like the god of war.

This set of photos is basically in this style, but the background and action are a little different.

"People have temperament, demons and spirits are also beautiful, Zhang Zhang is a boutique, choose one as the main picture." Chu Jun said with a smile.

"That's it." Li Xiu chose a photo of the full moon and the starry sky as the background, he just pointed at it casually by feeling, anyway, this set of photos is very good, and every one of them is very beautiful.

"Li Qingyin himself is also most satisfied with this one, your aesthetics are quite consistent, and there is a lot less trouble in communication." Chu Jun said with a smile: "She also asked me to remind you, don't forget the agreement between you, tell me honestly, what is the agreement between you?" Have you betrayed our single noble organization? ”

Li Xiu said angrily: "I want to get rid of the single, but now that there are so many things in the city, how can I have the time and opportunity to betray." Also, when did I join any single aristocratic organization? ”

"That's what I said, I didn't feel anything when Sha Chu was here, when she left, we were all busy, and we didn't have time to improve ourselves, so there was no way to go on like this, when will Sha Chu come back?" Chu Jun sighed.

"It's only been two days since I left, how can I come back so soon, unless I ......" Li Xiu was suddenly stunned: "Yes, Li Qingyin's status in the Immortal Society is definitely not low, can you let her do a favor and get Sha Chu back?" ”

Li Xiu regretted a little that he didn't think of this issue when he talked about the conditions yesterday, otherwise he could have put it forward as a condition.

But after thinking about it again, if you go to ask Li Qingyin like this, it will be tantamount to telling the Immortal Society that the relationship between Sha Chu and him is not ordinary, and it can be regarded as both good and bad.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xiu still decided not to mention the matter of Sha Chu and wait for her to come back by herself.

As soon as the promotional photos of Li Qingyin and Blowing Snow Ji came out, it didn't take long for them to appear on the hot search.

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

Originally, several topics that were holding a demon spirit contest and bought hot searches were suppressed, which made those cities that spent a lot of money on publicity very depressed.

Chu Jun wanted to strike while the iron was hot and continue to hold the Demon Spirit Contest next month, but was vetoed by Li Xiu.

"Our Demon Spirit Contest in the City of Light is only held once a year." Li Xiu said.

"Isn't once a year too little, if this continues, we will soon be replaced by other cities, at least twice a year, or we can get a Demon Spirit League out, so that we can keep the heat ......all the time" Chu Jun didn't quite understand, why not take advantage of the current hot situation to hold a few more Demon Spirit Competitions to consolidate the status of the City of Light Demon Spirit Competition.

"With our current environment and strength, it is not realistic to hold a league, and there are not so many high-level demons who will come to participate in our league. If we fill up the numbers indiscriminately, find some demon spirits to make leagues, and compare them with those big demon spirit competitions, I am afraid that the image of the demon spirit capital that we have finally erected will soon collapse. Instead of fighting to the death with them, it is better to jump out directly and stand on their heads to make money. Li Xiu said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Chu Jun didn't quite understand what Li Xiu meant.

"Didn't we have a demon spirit ranking before, you just get this for me, the more authoritative the better, there is no need to include only our own demon spirits, and also those demon spirits from other demon spirit competitions. Try to be as fair and just as possible, but one thing to note is that the top few must be our own demons, especially the top three. Li Xiu said.

"I understand, as long as we get this together, no matter how powerful the demon spirits of the other demon spirit competitions are, as long as they don't defeat our demon spirits, they will never be recognized as the top ...... in the world" Chu Jun immediately understood Li Xiu's intentions.

"Remember to rank Fuyukihime first, it's really not good, we can give way to the rankings of other demon spirits, Fuyukihime must be in the first place." Li Xiu thought about it and said.

"Understood, you're going to use Blowing Snow Ji as a target, won't it be a little unfair to other little girls, can she carry it?" Chu Jun was a little unbearable.

"She can't carry it, can you carry it? Anyway, I don't carry it. Li Xiu spread his hand and said.

"Then let her carry it, I can't bear it." Chu Jun hurriedly said.

"Then why don't you do it quickly, whether our Demon Spirit Contest next year can be successful or not, it depends on this ranking, you use more snacks." After driving away Chu Jun, Li Xiu planned to find a time to go to the Golden Gate, brush more demon cores there, and improve his original embryo quality while raising the level of Jedi Knights and Demigod Moments.

The next Demon Spirit Contest will not be at the current level, at least S-level Demon Spirits will be able to control the field.

This was also one of the reasons why Li Xiu was reluctant to hold the second Demon Spirit Contest so soon, he needed time to make his demon spirit grow.

Li Xiu got up and was about to go out, but suddenly felt a chilling feeling, and instantly summoned a Jedi Knight to block in front of him.

The moment the Jedi Knight came out, his whole body burned with red flames, and he held the sword in both hands and cracked in the direction of the door, and the light and flames on his body condensed towards the katana.

He actually opened the Desperate Situation and the Unparalleled Skills of the National Warrior at the first time.

Katsa!

A golden arrow broke through the air and hit the Jedi's katana, and actually shot the blade directly, and the golden arrow was lost, passing through the Jedi's shoulder and armor, and still shooting like golden lightning towards Li Xiu behind.

Li Xiu had already moved his position and retreated with all his strength, but the golden arrow was lost as if it had eyes, and it stopped in front of Li Xiu's chest at an incredible speed.

Li Xiu broke out in a cold sweat, if it weren't for the fact that the other party didn't have the sincerity to kill him, I am afraid that this arrow would have pierced his heart.

Li Xiu stood still and didn't care, ignoring the loss of the golden arrow on his chest, and looked out of the gate.

I saw a figure coming from the sky, his whole body was shrouded in golden light, like a god stepping into the air, it didn't seem to be walking fast, but in a few steps, he had already walked to the door.

"Psychic Trialist, who are you?" Li Xiu stared at the man, but the golden light on the man's body was too dazzling, and he couldn't see his face and appearance at all, he could only feel that the man's figure was extremely majestic and straight, and he held a longbow in his hand that was also blooming with gold.

"You are not qualified to know who I am, you just need to know that all your dependences are just unpopular goods in front of me, and it is enough for me to kill you as simple as pinching an ant to death." The man said contemptuously: "From now on, you will do whatever Qing Yin tells you to do, if you dare to be disobedient again, next time, that arrow will go directly through your chest." ”

"You can try to see if it can go through my chest." Li Xiu raised his hand to stop Ye Xiyuan, Qin Shi and the others who rushed to the door in magic costumes, and motioned for them not to come in.

This is a super-spiritual trialist, and they are no opponent.

The man stared at Li Xiu, and the golden arrow scored another point, which had already pierced Li Xiu's coat, but finally stopped and did not pierce his chest.

Li Xiu just looked at him coldly and didn't move a bit.

The man reached out and grabbed it, and the golden arrow flew back into his hand, and he put it back in the quiver behind his back.

"Remember my words, if there is a next time, God will not be able to spare your life." With that, the man turned and walked away, like a golden bolt of lightning, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Lord Castle, are you alright?" The Ye family brothers and sisters, Qin Shi, Chu Jun and A Bandit all rushed in.

"It's okay, you guys go back and get busy, don't spread the word about it." After Li Xiu let them leave, he healed the injured Jedi Knight with an immortal bullet, and found that the immortal bullet could repair even the broken katana.

After doing all this, he took the Jedi back away, and then took off his torn coat, only to see that the god-killing tablet was actually attached to his chest, and he didn't know how to get in.
