The darker the color of aquamarine, the more valuable it is. Before the Age of Demons, a gemstone appraisal agency gave top-color aquamarine a special color name, called "Santa Maria" color.
Just like the spiny Jedi Knight, aquamarine needs to meet a certain color standard before it can be called Santa Maria Aquamarine.
The colors of Santa Maria Aquamarine and London Blue Topaz are somewhat similar, but the color of London Blue Topaz is processed, so the color standards are the same and there is no color difference.
Santa Maria aquamarine is different. Even if it is the same Santa Maria color, the color can be dark or light. As long as the color reaches a certain standard, it can be called Santa Maria color.
This Santa Maria aquamarine is obviously darker than most Santa Maria colored aquamarines, and is closer to the London Blue Topaz.
The old man was a good businessman and a good scheming person, but his professionalism was obviously not that good.
I don’t know where he got this batch of topaz, but there was such an aquamarine in it.
"The color of this aquamarine is too deep. It's not an exaggeration to say it's a super Santa Maria color. This is the first time I've seen such a deep blue. I couldn't even recognize it at the time. It almost ruined your business. ." The young man looked at it for a while, then returned the Santa Maria aquamarine to Li Xiu, and said with a smile: "What if the old man knew that he exchanged a more than ten carat super Santa Maria aquamarine for a one-carat one? The spinel rough stone will probably make you vomit blood in anger, this can be regarded as evil retribution."
After a pause, the young man looked at Li Xiu and asked with some confusion: "Why are you telling me this? If this kind of thing spreads, it will not do you any good, and you may even get into trouble."
"If I don't tell you this, will you take care of the same thing next time?" Li Xiu looked at the young man and asked with a smile.
"This..." The young man was not sure whether he would care anymore.
"Although I am not a good person, I don't want to chill the hearts of good people. In this era, there are too few people like you, and I don't want to lose one more person." Li Xiu said with a smile.
The young man was greatly touched after hearing this, and even felt a little regretful that we had met you too late. He said excitedly: "I am lucky to meet you today, Mr. Chu. Everyone around me told me that in this era, the strong man is the best." In an era where interests are paramount, I should consider my own interests more. But I don’t think so. I want to change this era. Sometimes even I wonder if I am too naive and naive. I met you today , it made me feel that my persistence was not wrong, and that I should do something for this era..."
The more Chu Jun talked, the more excited he became. He wished he could share his past grievances and his ideals and ambitions with the people in front of him.
Li Xiu listened carefully. He felt that Chu Jun was a very interesting person.
"By the way, I don't know your name yet?" Chu Jun said for a long time before he realized that he still didn't know the name of the person in front of him.
"Li Xiu." Li Xiu replied.
"Li Xiu, why did you come to Chongshan City?" Chu Jun asked again.
"Originally, I wanted to participate in the trial, but I was eliminated because of poor physical fitness." Li Xiu said with a smile.
"This is easy to handle. If you really want to participate in the trial, I can help you arrange it." Chu Jun said immediately.
"Do I need to spend money?" Li Xiu is now very concerned about money.
"No, just leave this matter to me. Leave me your number and I'll let you know when I make arrangements." Chu Jun was very enthusiastic when he arrived.
Li Xiu thought for a moment and left his number to Chu Jun. He did appreciate this young man. Regardless of whether Chu Jun could accomplish this or not, it would be good to make a friend.
The two chatted for a while, and then the old man running the stall came in with a rag under his arm and sat down on the table next to him.
"Hey, are you two still there?" The old man saw the two of them and said hello with a smile.
Li Xiu smiled and nodded. Although Chu Jun knew that the old man had suffered a big loss, he still didn't have a good look on him. He didn't even look at the old man and continued to drink his tea.
The old man didn't say anything else. He ordered a pot of tea and drank the tea while humming a tune. He crossed his legs and beat time with one hand on his legs. He looked very uncomfortable.
"Let's go and continue chatting in another place." Chu Jun frowned slightly, stood up and said to Li Xiu.
"Let's wait another day. It's getting late today. I'm going back to rest." Li Xiu looked at the sky and planned to go back.
Li Xiu paid the bill, and when the two of them were about to leave, they saw a middle-aged man running into the door of the tea shop in a hurry, almost bumping into Li Xiu, and ran into the tea shop without even saying sorry. , he ran into the tea shop and looked around. After spotting the old man's figure, he immediately ran over.
"Dad, where's the batch of topaz I gave you this morning?" the middle-aged man rushed to the old man and asked hurriedly.
"Here, what's wrong?" The old man patted his waist bag and asked doubtfully.
"Show me." The old man's son couldn't wait. Without waiting for the old man to make any move, he reached out and opened the old man's waist bag, and took out the plastic bags containing gems from inside.
He quickly looked through bag after bag and found the bag of London Blue Topaz. He looked through it over and over, and finally dumped the Topaz directly on the table, and then pulled it out one by one.
"Son, what are you looking for?" The old man became more and more strange.
"Is there a drop-shaped blue topaz inside?" the middle-aged man asked anxiously while flipping around.
"The drop-shaped blue topaz was sold just now. What's wrong? Is there any problem?" The old man's heart skipped a beat, and his good mood suddenly disappeared.
"Sold!" The middle-aged man's body froze for a moment, and he turned his head mechanically to look at the old man. His eyes were bloodshot, and he asked tremblingly: "When was it sold, and to whom was it sold?"
"Just now, I sold it to..." The old man turned to look at the table where Li Xiu and Chu Jun were sitting, but he didn't see their figures. The two of them had already paid and left.
"The two young men were still here just now. Why did they leave? What happened?" The old man muttered.
The middle-aged man ignored the old man and rushed out quickly, but he could still see the shadows of Li Xiu and Chu Jun. The long street was full of people. He just had a quick meeting, and now even if Li Xiu was standing there, He probably wouldn't recognize it in front of him.
"Son, what's going on? It's just a topaz, why are you so excited?" The old man also chased him out. Seeing his son's appearance, he realized that something was wrong.
"What topaz? It's aquamarine, Santa Maria-colored aquamarine. Third Master's group of people don't know anything. They took out a batch of crystals and topaz in an old city that was destroyed by demons. Who? Knowing that there were a few drop-cut aquamarines mixed in, those idiots didn't understand anything and thought they were all mixed together. Later, when they sold it, a knowledgeable buyer saw it and recognized it. It was aquamarine. There were five of those drop-cut blue aquamarines, two of which reached Santa Maria color. When I went to pick up the goods before, I remembered that I picked up a drop-shaped one, which was the darkest color. That..." The middle-aged man became more and more anxious as he spoke.
The old man felt as if he was struck by five thunders, and his whole body stayed there.
"That's not topaz... it's aquamarine... Santa Maria aquamarine..." The old man took out the raw spinel stone that he had just exchanged and caressed like a treasure just now. He threw it directly to the ground and said with a mixture of grief and anger. : "Damn it, I've been hunting geese all my life, and two little house sparrows pecked my eyes..."
After Li Xiu and Chu Jun separated, they returned to the hotel where they stayed.
The light in Ximen Guan's room was still on, but the door was closed. It was not known whether he was asleep or not.
Back in his room, Li Xiu took out the super Santa Maria color aquamarine and admired it in the palm of his hand.
Each section is as smooth as a mirror. Under the illumination of the light, each section is blooming with blue brilliance, like a dark blue ice drop.
The deep blue seems to make people's minds calmer after looking at it for a long time.
Li Xiu took out a needle, pricked his finger, and dropped a drop of blood on the Super Santa Maria Aquamarine.
He knew that there was something special about his blood, which might be related to the baby demon spirit that died in his body.
It takes others a long time to complete the blood contract with the demon gem, but he only needs one drop of blood to complete it.
Although Li Xiu was still a little worried about whether the demon spirit larvae were dead, things had reached this point and it was useless to worry. It was better to take advantage of the current convenience first.
After the blood was absorbed by the aquamarine, the aquamarine quickly changed from solid to liquid, as if it came alive, flowing to Li Xiu's finger, and slowly solidified into a dark blue gemstone ring.
After the gem ring was completely formed, with a thought in Li Xiu's mind, the gem ring flew out of his hand and turned into a blue, crystal clear jellyfish-like demonic spirit in front of him.
The demon spirit danced in the air, as if roaming in the water, and its transparent body exuded faint blue fluorescence, which was strange and beautiful.
Ice Soul Siren (evolvable): E-level demon spirit (Liu Cai), which can summon the E-level demon spirit Ice Soul Siren.
"Is it just the Colorful Demon Spirit? It seems that the Brilliant Demon Spirit is indeed very rare." Li Xiu had long expected that the quality of the Ice Soul Sea Demon Spirit would not be too high, and he was not too disappointed.
Although the Ice Soul Siren only has the quality of flowing colors, it also has its benefits.
Ordinary aquamarine is cheaper than spinel, and the cost of upgrading the level of Ice Soul Siren is lower than that of Jedi Knight, which is also an advantage.
Li Xiu was already considering whether to sell some of the magic cores on hand and exchange them for some aquamarines to raise the level of the Ice Soul Siren.
If there is an S-class demon spirit by your side, no matter how poor the quality is, it is still a fighting force that cannot be ignored.
It's just that Li Xiu doesn't have many magic cores on his body. The bandit returned his part of the magic core to him. Li Xiu has been wearing some of the magic cores on his body these days, and some of the magic cores disappear every day.
Li Xiu could feel that his physical fitness had improved, but the degree of improvement was not high. Compared with the energy of those magic cores, Li Xiu's physical fitness improved at an unreasonable rate.
This made Li Xiu somewhat suspicious. The demon larvae might not have been killed, and most of the energy of the demon core had been swallowed up by the demon larvae.
"Li Xiu, the matter is settled. At eight o'clock tomorrow morning, you can come directly to the back door of the City Lord's Mansion and I will take you to participate in the trial." Chu Jun sent a message.
"Copy that, I'll be there on time at eight o'clock." After Li Xiu replied a message, he began to research the information he could find.
Currently, there are more than tens of thousands of trial gates discovered all over the world, but not even one-tenth of the trial gates that have been actually developed by humans.
After entering most doors of trials, no one can come out alive, or very few people can come out.
The trial gates that are being developed now are filled with human lives by major forces.
However, as the physical fitness of the trialists becomes higher and higher, I believe that the speed of exploring the trial gate will become faster and faster in the future, and there will be more and more real trialists.
But because those who have the ability to explore the door of trials are the big forces, it is not difficult to imagine that it will still be difficult for ordinary people to become real trialists in the future. Most of the real trialers will still be defeated by those rulers. Take control.
Li Xiu is currently studying the Trial Gate, just to find a place where he can quickly complete the trial, and first improve his physical fitness to become a real trialist.
After researching and researching, Li Xiu discovered that what he lacked was not the door to the trial, but money.
Every time you open the door of trial, you need to use at least ten gems. Generally speaking, the weight of the gems is more than one carat.
The better the quality and weight of the gemstone, the wider the door of trial will be opened and the longer it will last.
With poor quality gems, the energy of the gems will be exhausted before the door is even opened.
These have no impact on Li Xiu. He just wants to participate in the trial alone, as long as the crack in the door can be opened to let him in.
But even so, at least ten gems are needed at one time. If it is a topaz or other gem, ten will not cost much, but if it is replaced by rubies, diamonds and other gems, the price is not low.
What's more, according to Li Xiu's own experience and inference, different trial gates still have an impact on becoming a true trialer.
For example, the blood-patterned revolver in the Haitian Proving Ground is obviously more advanced than the Fire Lotus Sword, and the Fire Lotus Sword is a contract with shining quality. The quality of the blood-patterned revolver should be higher, but Li Xiu doesn't know whether it can reach the brilliance level.
If you want to become a true trialist, you must have a symbiotic contract, and the symbiotic contract cannot be replaced, so Li Xiu feels that his first contract must be the top-level glorious contract.
But how can we determine which trial field can have a Brilliant Pact? This is not within the scope of Li Xiu's knowledge. Theoretically speaking, the more precious the gems used, the more advanced the contracts that appear in that trial field may be.
According to this theory, it is impossible to save money. Unless Li Xiu is willing to find a symbiosis contract, he can only spend a lot of money to go to those expensive trial gates.
Another question is why the Fire Lotus Sword did not become his symbiotic contract, which also made Li Xiu a little confused.
After much thought, he felt that there were two possibilities.
One possibility is that the young demon spirit in his body is at work, preventing the Fire Lotus Sword from becoming his symbiotic contract.
After all, the contract can hurt the demon spirit, so it is normal for the demon larvae not to want Li Xiu's contract to succeed.
There is another possibility that it is because of the blood-patterned revolver. This possibility was also a possibility that Li Xiu thought about after thinking about it for a long time.
When Li Xiu used the blood-patterned revolver to shoot, his strength was not up to the standard of the contract, so the blood-patterned revolver would not resonate with him, let alone become his symbiotic contract.
But at that time, Li Xiu's blood was stained on the blood-striped revolver, which made Li Xiu feel much more relaxed when he fired, but he still could not pick up the blood-striped revolver.
Judging from the knowledge Li Xiu gained from Kunsha and Shachu, blood is of no use in reaching an agreement with the contract before picking up the contract.
In Shachu's words, even if all the blood on the body is drained and Qi is soaked in the blood, it is impossible for Qi to have any reaction.
The strange thing is that Li Xiu's blood did cause a slight reaction in the blood-striped revolver, but the contract was not successful.
Li Xiu suspected that this had something to do with the demon larvae in his body. Regardless of whether the demon larvae died or not, it had changed Li Xiu's physique, making Li Xiu a little different from a normal human.
This can be seen from the evil creeping onto Li Xiu, but Li Xiu was not harmed.
Maybe Xie mistook Li Xiu for a demon spirit and wanted to live in his body, so it crawled on him.
So Li Xiu was wondering if it was because his blood was special. Although he had not completed the contract with the Blood Pattern Revolver, he had established some kind of connection, which affected other contracts to complete the agreement with Li Xiu, so the Fire Lotus Sword failed. Become Li Xiu's symbiotic contract.
Of these two possibilities, Li Xiu prefers the latter. After all, Li Xiu doesn't even know whether the demon larvae is alive or not. He can't find it at all. Even if he has a symbiosis contract, he can't kill the demon larvae.
If the latter is true, then Li Xiu has only two ways to become a true trialer.
One way is to return to the Haitian Trial Field, complete the contract with Blood Pattern Revolver, and make Blood Pattern Revolver his symbiotic contract.
Another way is to find a contract that is stronger than the blood-patterned revolver. As long as that contract is not affected by the blood-patterned revolver, it will naturally be able to successfully complete the contract and become Li Xiu's symbiotic contract.
The Haitian Trial Field is the territory of Changshengtian, and there is also an unknown and terrifying demon spirit. Who knows what will happen to the parents of that demon larvae if they see Li Xiu.
A baby demon spirit is already so weird and terrifying, it's hard to imagine how terrifying its parents are.
If you want to go to the Haitian Trial Field, you must be fully prepared. Before that, Li Xiu could only find another way out.
After researching and researching, Li Xiu felt that the most likely known trial ground for high-quality contracts, which was relatively easy to enter, was the "Purgatory Gate Trial Ground" controlled by Red Sand City.
