Chapter 81: Chapter 78 The Value of Gemstones_2

"Within this Kashmir Chrysanthemum lies a Demon Spirit. If you wish to become a member of the Eternal Heaven, it will be yours, and you can personally verify the truth of those words." Sha Chu’s voice was as alluring as a devil’s whisper.

"Didn’t you say that the Eternal Heaven hasn’t found a method to identify which Gemstone contains a Demon Spirit? How can you be sure that there’s definitely a Demon Spirit in this Gemstone?" Li Xiu pointed out the flaw in Sha Chu’s words.

"Indeed, there’s no method to identify which Gemstone contains a Demon Spirit before the Demon Spirit chooses a master. But as soon as the master of a Demon Spirit dies, the remaining Gemstone doesn’t need to be identified anymore." Sha Chu said lightly.

"I see." Li Xiu was taken aback. Since Demon Spirits can be plundered, if Sha Chu discovers the Jedi Knight Demon Spirit Ring on his finger, it might be another problem.

"So, are you willing to join the Eternal Heaven?" Sha Chu asked again.

"After hearing so many secrets, can I still say no?" Li Xiu retorted.

"You can, but you can only take the secrets with you to the Yellow Springs." Sha Chu laughed.

"Since there’s no choice, why ask me? How can I summon the Demon Spirit from this Gemstone?" Li Xiu asked, taking the Gemstone box.

"This isn’t your pet. You can’t just summon it at will. You need a bit of time and patience." Sha Chu handed a diary to Li Xiu and then walked to the door, "The diary has the method to summon the Demon Spirit. There’s food and water in the cabinet beside you. I’ll come to get you in a month. By then, you should be able to summon the Demon Spirit."

With that, Sha Chu exited the stone chamber, and the chamber door slowly closed.

Li Xiu glanced at the stone chamber door, not seeking a way to escape, but sat on a nearby stone bench to read the diary under the light.

In truth, Li Xiu already knew that there must be a Demon Spirit within this Kashmir Chrysanthemum.

Because when he saw this Gemstone, that feeling of hunger surfaced once again.

Now he just wanted to see what method the Eternal Heaven had developed to summon the Demon Spirit from the Gemstone, and whether it would resemble how he swallowed the Gemstone himself.

After reading the diary, Li Xiu realized he had overthought it; the method wasn’t what he imagined at all.

The Eternal Heaven’s method was much clumsier and slower than Li Xiu’s.

He needed to keep the Gemstone next to him constantly and drip a bit of his own blood on it every day.

The Gemstone wouldn’t absorb his blood, but this process was indispensable. If repeated continuously for about thirty days to a year, if there is a Demon Spirit within the Gemstone, a connection could be established, allowing the Demon Spirit to be summoned.

Unlike Li Xiu who directly swallowed the Gemstone, transforming it into a ring, the Gemstone would still keep its original form. If intending to wear it, a special Gold or silver ring or pendant setting would be needed.

The use of Gold or silver is because, as researched by the Eternal Heaven, Demon Spirit Gemstones are not affected by Gold or silver, unlike some other metals that disrupt the connection between the Demon Spirit and its owner.

Just like the Gemstone Sha Chu used to summon the Double-headed Demon Spirit, it was set in a Platinum Ring.

"This method isn’t as good as just swallowing it." At this moment, Li Xiu understood how difficult it was for the Eternal Heaven to identify whether a Gemstone contains a Demon Spirit. Even with this method, the Eternal Heaven discovered it after many years of research.

Li Xiu put away the Gemstone, walked to the iron cage, and shouted a few more words to the wild-man-like Ximen Guan: "Are you really Ximen Guan? Interested in chatting? Can you give me any response?"

But Ximen Guan ignored him completely, just gnawing at his food. After eating to his fill, he lay on the ground and fell sound asleep.

When he woke, he drank from a flowing water trough inside the iron cage, showing Li Xiu the most disgusting scene.

The guy not only drank from the trough but also relieved himself there; although the trough was flowing water, seemingly drawn from an underground river, it nearly made Li Xiu vomit just watching.

"What a madman." Li Xiu shook his head helplessly,

After staying here for two or three days, Li Xiu estimated that Sha Chu should be gone and began to research how to leave this stone chamber.

Li Xiu knocked around the stone chamber for a long time and found it was in the mountain’s belly. Other than the doorway he came in through, everything else was made of an unknown thickness of rock, impossible to open by human means.

"A Magic Armor Master without Demon Armor is really at a loss in a place like this. Pity, I’m no longer a simple Magic Armor Master." With a thought, Li Xiu’s ring transformed into a Jedi Knight.

Li Xiu commanded the Jedi Knight to chop at the stone door. The Samurai Sword in the Jedi Knight’s hand glittered with light, splitting the stone door with a long crack.

However, Li Xiu quickly discovered that the stone door was only a few centimeters thick stone layer. Inside it was a gray-white substance, where the Samurai Sword could only leave shallow white marks.

Unwilling to give up, Li Xiu had the Jedi Knight chop at the stone wall beside the door, only to find the same gray-white substance inside.

The Jedi Knight relentlessly hacked away for half a day, making only minor scrapes, unable to penetrate the unknown thickness of this gray-white material in an unknown timeframe.
