When "God" Decides To Start Over

"These things must be prepared within ten days," the old man said to Li Xiu.

"Let me calculate how much money all these things will cost," Li Xiu said as he looked over the list.

Li Xiu looked at the lengthy list, which included many gemstones, with green tourmaline being the most required. Additionally, there were rubies and sapphires, making this quite an expense.

Li Xiu himself was currently extremely poor, so he certainly couldn't pay for these things himself.

As for that demon spirit, whether to kill it now or not actually had little impact on Li Xiu.

Since the demon spirit would eventually emerge, once it did, it would be easy for Li Xiu to kill it. He wouldn't need these things at all, so he definitely wouldn't spend money to buy them.

"One of you is from the Chu Family, and the other is the City Lord. You're still short on money? If I, the old man, pay out of pocket, then what's the point of you helping?" Old Dao stared at Li Xiu with wide eyes.

"Ahem, Old Dao, you know the troubles of managing a household. I'm the City Lord, but I'm already heavily indebted. I really can't fork out the money," Li Xiu said sincerely, spreading his hands.

"I don't have money," Old Dao said.

"Then there's no way out. We can stay here to help you, but we definitely can't afford to buy these things," Li Xiu said, spreading his hands.

Old Dao looked at Li Xiu with mixed feelings; he had never seen someone like Li Xiu who prioritized money over their own life.

"Without these things, what's the use of staying here?" Old Dao couldn't help but swear, then shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Fine, here's the deal. I have a Demon Spirit Ring here, let's treat it as compensating for these things."

As he said this, Old Dao took out a Demon Spirit Ring from his pocket, fondly holding it between his fingers.

After some time, Old Dao handed the Demon Spirit Ring to Li Xiu and said, "This is the relic of an old friend of mine. It's a B-grade Radiant Demon Spirit. You must cultivate it carefully; don't feed it casually. You must feed it sapphires. Perhaps at the S-grade level, it might have a high chance of comprehending another Talent Skill, making it a Dual Talent Skill demon spirit."

"May I ask if, besides this Demon Spirit Ring, you have anything else?" Li Xiu asked, not particularly interested in the Demon Spirit Ring.

He already had so many demon spirits to feed, yet this one required sapphires. With that money, wouldn't it be better to level up the Love God Shooter and the White Night Female Demon instead? Or wouldn't the Demigod Shana and Jedi Knight be more powerful if leveled up?

"Young people shouldn't be too greedy; this is a rare Top-Grade Demon Spirit. If it weren't... forget it... do you not want it?" Old Dao was tired of exchanging pleasantries with Li Xiu.

Demon Spirit Rings differ from Contracts. Once you understand the Trial Gate's rules and the pattern of Contracts, getting a Radiant Contract is fairly manageable.

Changsheng Tian has a distinct advantage in this aspect, so when Li Xiu mentioned he and Chu Jun had Radiant Contracts, Old Dao wasn't overly surprised.

However, Demon Spirit Rings are different; acquiring one could be life-threatening and isn't guaranteed, depending heavily on luck.

Li Xiu, a mere E-grade Trial Taker, was already extremely lucky to get a B-grade Radiant Demon Spirit. Yet he was still dissatisfied, wanting more, causing Old Dao to question Li Xiu's character.

Li Xiu saw Old Dao's expression and realized he truly couldn't offer anything else. So he accepted the Demon Spirit Ring and said with a grin, "I didn't mean it like that. The Demon Spirit Ring is great, but you need the right buyer to sell it for a good price, get the money, and then buy the things we need. Isn't that somewhat troublesome?"

"Sell? You're thinking of selling the Demon Spirit Ring?" Old Dao looked at Li Xiu as if he were crazy.

Within Changsheng Tian, countless members yearned for such a demon spirit, and if ordinary members could possess one, they would probably wake up laughing.

If not for knowing his time was limited, and that keeping it wouldn't be useful, perhaps even following him to his grave, he wouldn't have given the Demon Spirit Ring to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu saying he wanted to sell it made Old Dao's mouth twitch, feeling like murdering someone, with his impression of Li Xiu worsening.

"Ahem, I was just saying that. I accept the Demon Spirit Ring, and I'll guarantee to get the items without a hitch within ten days," Li Xiu felt Old Dao's odd gaze, quickly turned around, and left, calling Chu Jun and Qin Shi to leave together.

"Is Old Dao reliable?" After leaving the Golden Gate, Li Xiu explained the situation to the two, and Chu Jun furrowed his eyebrows.

"Reliable or not, the Demon Spirit Ring is already in my hands," Li Xiu tossed the Demon Spirit Ring that Old Dao had given him to Chu Jun, "Do you want to give it a try and see if this Demon Spirit Ring is real? If it is, it can offset some of the money you lent me."

"My demon spirits haven't even reached their level caps yet, what's the use of having it? It's not a Radiant Demon Spirit," Chu Jun tossed the Demon Spirit Ring back to Li Xiu.

"People from Changsheng Tian are tough to deal with; be cautious," Qin Shi said worriedly.

"I know," Li Xiu actually found Changsheng Tian not as intimidating as others imagined. He had someone from Changsheng Tian working diligently for him at the moment.
