Chapter 120: Chapter 91: Saint Maria Aquamarine_2

"Son, what are you looking for?" The old man became more puzzled.

"Is there a teardrop-shaped blue topaz in here?" The middle-aged man hurriedly searched as he asked anxiously.

"A teardrop-shaped blue topaz, yeah, it was just sold. Why, is there a problem?" The old man’s heart skipped a beat, and his good mood instantly vanished.

"Sold!" The middle-aged man’s body stiffened as he turned his head somewhat mechanically to look at the old man, his eyes bloodshot. He trembled as he asked, "When was it sold, and to whom?"

"Just a moment ago, sold to..." The old man turned his head to look at the table where Li Xiu and Chu Jun had been, but their shadows were nowhere to be seen; they had already settled the bill and left.

"Those two young people were just here, how did they leave so quickly, what’s going on?" The old man muttered.

The middle-aged man ignored the old man and rushed out, but how could he still see any trace of Li Xiu and Chu Jun? The long street was filled with people, and he had only caught a hurried glimpse of them just now. Now, even if Li Xiu stood before him, he probably wouldn’t recognize him.

"Son, what exactly is going on? It’s just a topaz, why are you so worked up?" The old man chased after him and, seeing his son’s demeanor, realized that something was amiss.

"What topaz? That’s aquamarine, Saint Maria color aquamarine. The third master and his gang don’t know anything, they dug up a batch of crystals and topaz in an old city district destroyed by demon spirits. Who knew there were a few teardrop-cut aquamarines mixed in? Those fools didn’t understand anything, thinking they were topazes, and lumped them all together. Later, when they were selling them, a knowledgeable buyer recognized them as aquamarine. There were a total of five teardrop-cut aquamarines, and two of them reached the Saint Maria color. When I went to pick up the goods, I remember taking a teardrop-shaped one, and it was the deepest color..." The middle-aged man grew more anxious with each word.

The old man felt as if he’d been struck by lightning, and stood there dumbfounded.

"That’s not topaz... it’s aquamarine... Saint Maria aquamarine..." The old man pulled out the spinel raw stone he had just traded for, which he had been caressing like a treasure, and angrily tossed it to the ground, exclaiming in grief and fury, "Damn, I’ve hunted geese all my life, and now two young sparrows have poked out my eyes..."

After Li Xiu and Chu Jun parted ways, he returned to the inn where he was staying.

The light in Ximen Guan’s room was still on, but the door was closed, making it unclear if he was asleep.

Upon returning to his own room, Li Xiu took out the super Saint Maria color aquamarine and admired it in his palm.

The facets were smooth as mirrors, emitting a blue glow under the light, resembling a deep blue ice drop.

The profound deep blue seemed to calm one’s mind the longer they looked at it.

Li Xiu took out a needle, pricked his finger, and let a drop of blood fall onto the super Saint Maria aquamarine.

He knew his blood was somewhat special, possibly related to the demon spirit infant that had died within him.

Others needed a long time to complete a blood contract with a demon spirit gemstone, but he only needed a drop of blood to complete it.

Although Li Xiu was still somewhat concerned about whether the demon spirit infant had truly died, at this point, worrying was useless. It was better to take advantage of the current convenience.

Once the blood was absorbed by the aquamarine, it quickly transformed from solid to liquid, as if coming to life, flowing onto Li Xiu’s finger, and slowly solidifying into a deep blue gemstone ring.

When the gemstone ring was fully formed, with a thought, it flew from Li Xiu’s hand, transforming into a translucent blue, jellyfish-like demon spirit before him.

The demon spirit floated in the air, as if swimming through water, its transparent body emitting a faint blue fluorescence, eerie yet beautiful.

Ice Soul Sea Demon (evolvable): E-grade demon spirit (Flowing Colors), can summon E-grade demon spirit Ice Soul Sea Demon.

"Only a Flowing Color demon spirit? It seems that Radiant demon spirits are indeed very rare." Li Xiu had already anticipated that the quality of the Ice Soul Sea Demon demon spirit couldn’t be too high, so he wasn’t particularly disappointed.

Although the Ice Soul Sea Demon only had a Flowing Colors quality, it also had its benefits.

Ordinary aquamarines were cheaper than spinel, and upgrading the Ice Soul Sea Demon’s level would cost less than training a Jedi Knight, which was also an advantage.

Li Xiu was already considering whether to sell some of his demon cores in exchange for aquamarines to raise the level of the Ice Soul Sea Demon.

If there were an S-grade demon spirit by one’s side, regardless of the quality, it would still be an undeniable force.

However, Li Xiu didn’t have many demon cores left. Afei returned his portion of the demon cores to him, and these days Li Xiu had been wearing some of the demon cores on him, which vanished one by one each day.

Li Xiu felt that his physique had improved somewhat, but the improvement wasn’t significant. Compared to the energy in those demon cores, Li Xiu’s physical enhancement was not proportional.

This made Li Xiu suspect that the demon spirit infant might not have been killed after all, and that most of the energy from the demon cores had been stolen by the demon spirit infant.

"Li Xiu, it’s all set. Tomorrow morning at eight, come straight to the back door of the City Lord’s Mansion, and I’ll take you to participate in the trial," Chu Jun sent a message.

"Got it, I’ll be there at eight sharp." After replying to the message, Li Xiu began delving into the materials he could find.
