CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 189: LIGHTSPEED NO.2_2

"You told me just like that, aren’t you afraid I’ll betray you?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"If you truly wish to kill me, even making you swear won’t help. What else can I do? Instead of being overly cautious and provoking your murderous intent, it’s better to be straightforward. If you wish to go back on your word and kill me, just do it." Tree Face seemed to see things very clearly.

"If I can’t find the Suihou Bead there, you know very well what the consequences will be." Having said that, Li Xiu picked up the things from the ground and turned to head back to the temple.

"Unless someone discovered the Suihou Bead and took it away, it’s definitely still there." Tree Face said.

Li Xiu said no more, putting a small pile of Demon Cores, Talent Gemstones, Skill Rings, and Demon Spirit Rings into the Paradise Elixir Bottle, and had the Pink Nightmare carry the bottle back to the temple.

He didn’t kill Tree Face, not for the Suihou Bead, but intending to keep the Spirit-Eating Tree as a Monster Attractor.

Having this thing attract demon spirits for him is much better than running around himself looking for them.

After all, the Spirit-Eating Tree won’t grow legs and run away, and now the Golden Gate is already Li Xiu’s. As long as someone guards the Golden Gate, preventing outsiders from entering, the Vase Monster will be trapped inside the Spirit-Eating Tree, unable to go anywhere.

After Li Xiu left, Tree Face became fierce. The Spirit-Eating Tree began to glow green, and many roots emerged from the ground, like leeches, penetrating into the corpses of the Frenzied Beasts, absorbing their flesh, even the blood soaked into the soil wasn’t spared.

Gradually, a hint of blood color appeared on the tree, and Tree Face sinisterly said, "If it weren’t for letting the Spirit-Eating Tree absorb the flesh of these demon spirits to evolve, why would I say so much nonsense to you? Once the Demon Spirit Tree ascends, your body will definitely belong to me when you return."

"The connection between the Suihou Bead and me is not completely severed. Coupled with the Super Spirit Body, it’s not something you can contract. Anyway, it will eventually return to my hand. Just go ahead and retrieve it for me. I hope the Suihou Bead hasn’t been discovered by others yet." Tree Face was somewhat worried that the Suihou Bead had already been discovered and taken away, and hoped Li Xiu could find it.

Li Xiu extinguished the Longevity Lamp, took the Paradise Elixir Bottle and its contents back outside the Golden Gate.

The harvest this time was already enormous; he didn’t want to waste time in the Land of Trial anymore. He needed to first enhance his Primordial Embryo Quality within the Trial Ground.

The Jedi Knights were already S-class, but he was only D-class. His own level was equally important, and he needed to quickly raise his level as well.

Li Qingyi was so young and already a Super Spirit, making him feel a bit inadequate with his small D-class Trial Taker status.

Li Xiu didn’t consider that Li Qingyi came from a background with generations of accumulation, unlike him, who hadn’t even been in the industry for a year.

He buried the Paradise Elixir Bottle along with those Demon Cores underneath the ruins of Old Knife’s wooden house, and at the Golden Gate he frantically engaged in trials, improving his Primordial Embryo Quality.

Fortunately, his finances were quite substantial now; otherwise, this constant spending on gemstones, even if it’s just Golden Green Tourmaline, would be unbearable for an average person.

In more than ten days, Li Xiu improved his Primordial Embryo Quality to 3.9, mainly because the trials at the Golden Gate allowed him to pass quickly. If it were the Dark Maze, he wouldn’t have improved this much even if he doubled the time.

"The Golden Gate Trial Ground is truly a holy place for enhancing Primordial Embryo Quality. Unfortunately, the higher you go, the harder it is to improve. I’ve been working on this last 0.1 for two days, and still can’t enhance it." Li Xiu was exhausted, so he sat down in front of the Golden Gate to rest.

Recently, he also looked into the Rolling Dragon Slope mentioned by Tree Face. Now, that place wasn’t called that anymore, and even the local regional name had changed. Li Xiu compared for a long time before determining where Tree Face referred to as Rolling Dragon Slope.

"Rolling Friend Slope is now White Night City’s territory. I should look for Chu Jun and have him take me there." Li Xiu was thinking when he suddenly heard voices in the distance.

Li Xiu stood up and looked in the direction of the voices, and soon saw Ye Yuzhen leading a group over.

Those people were all leading mules, with each mule carrying two large boxes. The team of over a hundred mules majestically arrived at the front of the Golden Gate.

"City Lord, the items you requested have all been delivered, and the workers have also arrived." Ye Yuzhen quickly stepped forward to report.

"Good, I’ve had A Fei give you the blueprints earlier. Stay here and supervise. Build the toll station and seal off the Golden Gate completely. Without my permission, no one can activate the Golden Gate, and you can gradually charge fees." Li Xiu said to Ye Yuzhen.

"Rest assured, City Lord, I will certainly complete the task with quality and quantity. Until the fees are charged, I will ensure no one approaches the Golden Gate." Ye Yuzhen promptly made his promise.

"Alright, you oversee this here, I have to return to the City of Light." Li Xiu didn’t stay to improve that last 0.1 because he had received a message from Old Officer that his Lightspeed No. 2 was completed.

Once Lightspeed No. 2 is achieved, he will have the capability to compete for the Super Spirit Gemstone, hence he’s eager to return.

"I hope that Super Spirit Gemstone hasn’t emerged yet." Li Xiu hurried back to the City of Light as fast as he could.
