When 'God' Decides To Start Over

Chapter 684 - 279 Fire Lotus Light Base_2

"The young master of the Chu Family in White Night City... such a pity..." Jiuxiao Yun sighed and said, "Hasn’t the Chu Family always been unwilling to join the Longevity Sect? Why has the young master of the Chu Family come to the Longevity Sect and even joined the technicians group?"

"The young master of the Chu Family is nothing special. I’m just a regular Trial Taker now, so please look after me in the future," said Chu Jun.

Jiuxiao Yun had never seen such a "regular" Trial Taker. After glancing at the dazzling gemstones on the table, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

"By the way, Li Xiu, I heard you bought a Super Spirit Gemstone from the Treasure Light Pavilion, is that true?" Jiuxiao Yun looked at Li Xiu and asked.

"How could the news spread so fast?" Li Xiu was somewhat surprised. He had just returned, yet the news had already reached Jiuxiao Yun’s ears, which was incredibly quick.

"The Super Spirit Gemstone you bought, is it the Lotus Gemstone?" Jiuxiao Yun frowned and asked.

"That’s right." Li Xiu nodded.

"How much did you pay for it?" Jiuxiao Yun asked again.

"About less than three billion," Li Xiu detected some implications in Jiuxiao Yun’s words, so he asked, "Is there a problem with this Super Spirit Gemstone?"

"The problem is big; you’ve been conned badly," Jiuxiao Yun sighed.

"How so? Isn’t the Super Spirit Gemstone worth that price?" Li Xiu asked.

"It’s worth it, not just three billion, even three hundred billion would be worth it. The rarely seen Padparadscha Super Spirit Gemstone could easily sell for a high price of a trillion," Jiuxiao Yun said.

"Then why did I get conned?" Li Xiu had long suspected that the Super Spirit Gemstone had issues, but he didn’t know what the problem was, and he couldn’t detect it himself.

"Padparadscha is also known as Fire Lotus, with fifty percent pink tone fused with fifty percent orange tone, it’s called Padparadscha. The Super Spirit Gemstone you bought from the Treasure Light Pavilion is a fifty-fifty Padparadscha. If it were just a regular gemstone, there wouldn’t be any issue, but it’s a Super Spirit Gemstone, and that creates a big problem."

Jiuxiao Yun continued, "Sapphire, yellow-blue sapphire, green-blue sapphire, pink-blue sapphire, purple-blue sapphire, and orange-blue sapphire are all sapphires, belonging to the corundum family. Theoretically, these gemstones have similar attributes, but the attributes vary slightly with different colors of sapphire. This deviation isn’t a major issue for regular gemstones, but for Super Spirit Gemstones, differing light energy attributes can significantly impact Super Spirit ascension. The Padparadscha you bought has both pink-blue and orange-blue sapphire attributes, two entirely different light energy attributes. After merging into Padparadscha, it becomes a Compound Light Energy with two attributes. Regular Trial Takers using this Compound Light Energy for Super Spirit will encounter big problems."

"When this Padparadscha Super Spirit Gemstone first appeared, it caused a sensation. Many who had blue sapphire series contracts wanted to use it for Super Spiriting. It was even sold for over a trillion, but unfortunately, Trial Takers who attempted to use it couldn’t reconcile the two light energy attributes, resulting in issues, rendering it unusable."

"I see," Li Xiu finally understood where the problem lay, but he was not concerned.

"Don’t take this lightly. Many Trial Takers before you dismissed this, thinking they could handle it with their capabilities, but without exception, things ended poorly, even resulting in contract destruction and death. Compound Attribute Light Energy is different from Dual-Attribute Light Energy. The attributes in Dual-Attribute Light Energy are separate and relatively easy to handle. Padparadscha’s Compound Attribute Light Energy can’t be separated, unless your contract also has such Compound Attribute, or else it’s bound to cause trouble. Otherwise, why would a top-tier Super Spirit Gemstone be sold for just thirty billion at the Treasure Light Pavilion?"

"I’ve already bought it, let’s give it a try," Li Xiu was not bothered at all. Super Spirit Gemstones produced on Earth are getting rarer with each use, and who knows when he’ll have another opportunity to acquire one.

Even if his Forbidden Spear can’t use it now, it will come in handy later. The price won’t be a loss in any case.

"You can try it, but if it doesn’t work, it’s best to consult Treasure Light Pavilion to see if you can return it," Jiuxiao Yun said.

"No need for that," Li Xiu shook his head. He guessed the old immortal was waiting for him to attempt a return, but to do that, he’d have to manage the old immortal’s son’s affairs, which Li Xiu had no intention of handling.

Jiuxiao Yun also knew that once something was sold, returning it wouldn’t be easy, and there weren’t many good solutions.

Li Xiu returned to his room, closed the door, and took out the Padparadscha Super Spirit Gemstone.

The beautiful color was truly breathtaking, and the lotus light shadow inside the gemstone was heart-stirringly gorgeous.

"Let’s give it a try," Li Xiu summoned the Forbidden Spear and placed the Super Spirit Gemstone on it.

Boom!

A burst of light erupted between the Forbidden Spear and the Super Spirit Gemstone, each side blown away, clearly indicating the Forbidden Spear couldn’t absorb the light energy from this Super Spirit Gemstone.

Li Xiu was only slightly disappointed, but not overly concerned. At least the Forbidden Spear wasn’t damaged, so he simply retracted it.

"The gemstone is a good one, just need to store it for now," Li Xiu picked up the Super Spirit Gemstone, ready to put it away when suddenly the Fire Lotus Sword at his waist popped out on its own, piercing the Super Spirit Gemstone.
