When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 642 - 265: Super Spirit Ruby_2

"I see, are the Super Spirit Gemstones mined from the gemstone mine the same?" Li Xiu asked.

"Pretty much, since they’re all Super Spirit Gemstones, naturally there are good and bad ones. But as for those mined from the gem mine, it’s not so easy to tell if they’re good or bad."

Uncle Eight continued, "You see, the Super Spirit Gemstones on the Evil Spirit can be judged by observing the strength of the Evil Spirit itself. Once the Evil Spirit enters the Super Spirit State, you can pretty much tell."

"The Super Spirit Gemstones produced in the gem mine are different. There’s no reference point, so if you want to distinguish whether the Super Spirit Gemstone is good or bad, you can only look at the size of the vein. Generally, the larger the vein, the better the Super Spirit Gemstones produced."

"Of course, it’s not to say that a large vein is always good. Apart from size, the quality of the produced gemstones also affects the goodness of the Super Spirit Gemstones. As for the gemstone’s variety, well, there’s no need to say much—the Super Spirit Gemstones produced by the Five Great Gemstones are certainly not lacking."

"The Super Spirit Gemstone you chose is from the Ruby Vein, and it’s from the top-tier Ruby Mine. I was right next to the City Lord when he acquired this Super Spirit Gemstone initially. Who would have thought that after so many years, this Super Spirit Gemstone is still kept?"

"It’s been many years indeed, quite a rarity," Li Xiu said while fiddling with the Super Spirit Gemstone.

The City Lord is the Red Sand City Lord, and Red Sand City is the most famous place for producing rubies. Given the Super Spirit Ruby that he brought back, it’s naturally not going to be of poor quality.

"It’s more than rare, it’s exceedingly rare. This Super Spirit Gemstone is not only from a top-tier Ruby Mine, but it also caused some extraordinary anomalies when it was unearthed," Uncle Eight said mysteriously.

"Anomalies?" Li Xiu didn’t quite understand what anomalies meant.

"Yes, anomalies." Uncle Eight took a sip of wine and recalled, "Ordinarily, the birth of a Super Spirit Gemstone attracts Evil Spirits to contend for it; no need to elaborate on that, you should know. However, when this Super Spirit Gemstone appeared, who knows how many Evil Spirits came to snatch it. The scene was immense, to say the least, and something strange happened then as well."

He shelled two peanuts and put them in his mouth before continuing, "All the Evil Spirits that entered the mine vein to fight for the Super Spirit Gemstone died, not one of them came out alive."

"Isn’t that quite normal?" Li Xiu didn’t see how this was an anomaly.

The last time he snatched a Super Spirit Gemstone, many Evil Spirits died as well.

"It is indeed normal for Evil Spirits to die fighting over a Super Spirit Gemstone, but have you ever seen their souls leaving their bodies to guard the Super Spirit Gemstone?" Uncle Eight said mysteriously.

"Their souls leaving their bodies? Can Evil Spirits even do that?" Li Xiu thought Uncle Eight was being extremely far-fetched.

"Yes, their souls leave their bodies. When their bodies died, a sphere of light detached from them. If that isn’t a soul leaving the body, what else is it?" Uncle Eight drained his glass of wine: "I was with the City Lord all the way then, we saw many Evil Spirits lying dead in the mine tunnels, not knowing how they died, not a single wound on them, and quite some distance from where the Super Spirit Gemstone was located. The City Lord and I personally saw a spirit-like figure, like a soul coming out of those dead Evil Spirits and rushing towards the area where the Super Spirit Gemstone was..."

"Later, when we entered the Super Spirit Region, we saw various kinds of magical light images everywhere. Those things seemed out of their minds, desperately guarding the Super Spirit Gemstone. It was only after the City Lord scattered those things that he managed to acquire this Super Spirit Gemstone."

"Could those light images be transformed from the Demonic Light within the Evil Spirits’ bodies?" Li Xiu pondered.

"Transforming Demonic Light into spirit is something only at the Spirit Forging Level can accomplish, impossible for ordinary Evil Spirits," Uncle Eight shook his head.

"Indeed, it’s peculiar for Evil Spirits to use their souls to guard the Super Spirit Gemstone after dying, I’ve never heard of such a thing," Li Xiu looked at the Super Spirit Gemstone in his hand but did not feel anything unusual about it; it looked no different from the other Super Spirit Gemstones he had acquired before.

"Anyhow, this Super Spirit Gemstone is no ordinary one. If you can use it, then use it yourself. If not, you can exchange it for a Super Spirit Gemstone that suits you," Uncle Eight said.

"Why wouldn’t it suit me?" Li Xiu was somewhat puzzled.

"When you obtained the Symbiotic Contract, did you open the Trial Gate with a ruby? If it was opened with a ruby, then this Super Spirit Gemstone is just right. If not, it’s better to exchange it. This Super Spirit Gemstone is extraordinary, and if you find the right person, you might even be able to exchange it for two other types of Super Spirit Gemstones."

"It should be usable!" Li Xiu wasn’t too sure.

He has two Symbiotic Contracts; the Trial Gate for the Forbidden Spear was opened with a sapphire, while the Trial Gate for the Evil Spirit Token was opened with both ruby and sapphire.

Logic would dictate that it should be usable.

Li Xiu just wasn’t sure whether using a Super Spirit Gemstone to enhance the Evil Spirit Token would enable the Forbidden Spear to also reach the Super Spirit State. If not, he would need to find another Super Spirit Gemstone.

"Alright, you’ve had your drink and said what you needed to say. Fourth Brother, attend to your own matters, I’m heading back now." Uncle Eight finished his last sip of wine, patted himself, and left.
