Chapter 183 Cullinan Diamond
, the fastest update when God begins to evolve the latest chapter!
“This is…” Li Xiu looked at the box on the table and didn’t understand what Li Qingyin meant for a while.
Li Qingyin opened the box and saw a pear-shaped diamond inside, which looked four or five carats.
The color is more transparent, with a slight hint of blue, which looks extremely transparent.
Just seeing this diamond for the first time, Li Xiu immediately felt hungry, this is obviously a magic gem.
“What is this diamond?” Li Xiu asked, looking at the diamond.
“Have you heard of the Cullinan diamond?” Li Qingyin said slowly.
“You mean the Star of Africa?” Li Xiu looked at the diamond again in surprise.
Some people may not have heard of the Cullinan diamond, but when it comes to the African star, there should be very few people who have not heard of it.
On the scepter of an ancient country, inlaid is the second largest diamond in the world, the “Star of Africa”, known as the “King of Diamonds”. It weighs more than 500 carats and is an extremely rare giant diamond.
In fact, the Star of Africa is one of the diamonds divided by the Cullinan diamond. The Cullinan rough stone has more than 3,000 carats and is cut into nine large diamonds and ninety-six small diamonds, with a total weight of more than 1,000 carats. The finished product is only about one-third of the original stone, and the consumption is very large.
The Star of Africa, also known as Cullinan I, is the largest and most famous of the nine large diamonds, set on the scepter.
The smallest of the nine large diamonds, with more than four carats, is pear-shaped, which is very consistent with the diamond brought by Li Qingyin.
“Yes, this is the smallest of the nine large diamonds that Cullinan cut.” Li Qingyin nodded and said.
“Even a Cullinan diamond is no different from an ordinary diamond. It weighs more than four carats and is not worth much.” Li Xiu said tentatively.
“What if it’s a radiant magic gem?” Li Qingyin said.
“Are you sure it’s a radiant magic gem?” Li Xiu was a little surprised.
“Although I can’t be 100% sure, it’s about the same. I’ve seen Cullinan No. 1, No. 3, and No. 4, and they are all pregnant with radiant demons. This smallest No. 9 has not been contracted yet. But it is also Cullinan, it has a great chance of giving birth to a radiant demon, you can choose to gamble. Of course, you can also not gamble, just pretend that I have not taken it out.” Li Qingyin said with a smile.
“Sounds tempting, where did your diamond come from? How do I know if it’s the real Cullinan 9?” Li Xiu pondered.
“This is a birthday present from my mother, she should not lie to me.” Li Qingyin said.
Li Xiu smacked his tongue secretly, saying that for a birthday gift like this, Li Qingyin’s family might not be worse than Chu Jun.
“What do you want?” Li Xiu Dao wanted to gamble. At least he already knew that this was definitely a magic gem. Even if it wasn’t Cullinan, or there was no brilliant magic spirit, it would not be a loss. .
“Use it for a glass of wine with the three attributes of Wind, Fire and Thunder, and redeem my three-year gambling contract.” Li Qingyin said.
“I can’t adjust the wine now, it will take a while.” Li Xiu pondered.
“How long?” Li Qingyin asked, staring at Li Xiu.
“One year at the latest.” Li Xiu is still somewhat confident, because there are some clues in the bartending recipe. One of the recipes is suspected to have properties such as wind, fire and thunder, but it needs to be verified first, so Li Xiu Don’t dare to come down directly.
“One year is too long, can half a year do?” Li Qingyin frowned.
“Yes, but your spokesperson’s bet will continue to be fulfilled.” Li Xiu said with a smile.
Seeing what Li Qingyin wanted to say, Li Xiu said immediately without waiting for her to speak: “You don’t have to show your face, this is my bottom line, otherwise you can take the diamond back.”
“Okay, make a deal.” Li Qingyin’s bottom line is to help Bai Ying exchange the three-attribute wine. If it really doesn’t work, he has to accept the identity of the spokesperson.
Since Li Xiu took a step back so that she could not show her face, Li Qingyin was quite satisfied with the result.
“I’ve accepted the diamonds, and I’ll let you know when I can make drinks. Since you’re all here, let’s take a promotional photo first.” Li Xiu smiled and picked up the box containing the Cullinan No. 9. , directly into the drawer.
“You don’t pay anything, and you take all the benefits first. Isn’t this unreasonable? We should pay with one hand and deliver with one hand.” Bai Ying said dissatisfiedly.
“If you don’t trust me, the deal can be ended here.” Li Xiu took out the box and pushed it directly in front of them.
“I believe you, but according to the agreement, I only need to take three sets of promotional photos and three sets of videos in the three years, and the time needs to be communicated separately.” Li Qingyin did not take back the box, but pushed it back in front of Li Xiu.
“Okay, is it convenient to take the first set of promotional photos today?” Li Xiu took the box and smiled.
“Convenient, remember what you said, don’t let me show my face, if you violate the agreement, you will be responsible for the consequences.” Li Qingyin said.
“Don’t worry, I’ll have someone make you a look that covers your face.” Li Xiu picked up the phone, found Chu Jun, and asked him to take Li Qingyin to take a promotional photo.
The Ronin from Douluo”
Chu Jun is already familiar with this matter. He has always been doing the publicity work for the Demon Contest before, and he has also taken publicity photos.
Seeing that Li Xiu actually signed Li Qingyin as a spokesperson, Chu Jun was very happy.
He had no idea about Li Qingyin, but felt that with Fuxue Ji as the spokesperson, the Demon Contest and the City of Light should be more famous.
After Chu Jun and Li Qingyin left, Li Xiu took out the Cullinan No. 9 again and held it in his hand to observe it carefully.
This diamond really looks like Cullinan 9. Although Li Xiu has not seen the real thing, he has seen the photos.
And he has also seen Cullinan II. Cullinan II is inlaid on the crown of the ancient country, and that crown should be in Space City now.
When Li Xiu was in Space City before, he saw the crown and the Cullinan II on the crown. It seems that the color of this diamond is very close to the Cullinan II on the crown.
“Li Qingyin said that Cullinan No. 1, No. 3 and No. 4 are all pregnant with brilliant demons, and now No. 9 is also pregnant with demons, and other Cullinan diamonds should also be pregnant with demons, I don’t know other Where are those Cullinan diamonds, if there is a chance to find them, you can get them back and do some experiments to see if there will be any connection between the demons of these Cullinan diamonds.”
Li Xiu looked at Cullinan No. 9 and thought to himself: “Theoretically, gems can breed demons, it must be the result of being seeded, and it has nothing to do with whether they come from the same rough stone, unless they are bred in the same rough stone. Before the cutting, the seedling has been completed, and it is possible that all Cullinan diamonds have demons in them.”
“But if the magic gem is cut, will the magic be cut too? If the magic will not be cut, then there should be only one Cullinan with a magic, and now there are so many Cullinan diamonds. With demons, there are some problems.”
“Is the demon being divided, or is it that more than one spirit was planted in the Cullinan diamond when the spirit was planted?”
Li Xiu couldn’t guess, unless he got other Cullinan diamonds, it was possible to solve this doubt.
Li Xiu broke his finger and got blood on No. 9 in the library.
Fortunately, No. 9 in the library didn’t reject Li Xiu’s blood like the ruby. After the brilliant diamond absorbed Li Xiu’s blood, it immediately burst into brilliance, and finally turned into a streamer and flew towards Li Xiu’s finger.
A moment later, a diamond magic spirit ring appeared on Li Xiu’s finger. Li Xiu looked at the gemstone ring in his hand and felt a sense of pleasure from a nouveau riche.
“Too many demons is also a kind of distress. It’s almost impossible to wear them.” Li Xiu didn’t know what would happen to those demon rings if they really couldn’t wear them anymore.
Sealed Devil: Evolvable devil.
Grade: E grade.
Quality: Brilliant (crippled).
“What do you mean by incomplete? Could it be that there is a connection between the nine Cullinan diamonds?” Li Xiu was a little surprised and summoned the sealed devil.
“What’s going on?” Li Xiu couldn’t help being a little stunned when he saw the appearance of this demon.
The demon he summoned was still the same as Cullinan No. 9 at all, but the current Cullinan No. 9 was able to suspend itself in the air, and within the diamond, there was a red light that appeared and disappeared from time to time. , like a blood-red devil’s eye opening and closing in it.
After testing for a while, I found that this thing seems to be useless. Except for flying and flashing, it has no actual combat ability and no talent skills.
“It seems that I have to find another opportunity to ask Li Qingyin what the demons number 1, 3, and 4 in the library are.” Li Xiu had no choice but to summon the sealed demons back.
Early the next morning, Chu Jun showed Li Xiu the promotional photos that he had taken, and the results were surprisingly good.
Li Qingyin wore a cyan gauze skirt, like a fairy in ancient oriental myths and legends, her face was covered with a veil, and behind her was the arrogant Fukiyuki who was like a frost goddess of war.
This set of photos is basically the same style, just the background and action are a little different.
“People have temperament and demons are also beautiful. Zhang and Zhang are all high-quality products. Let’s choose one as the main picture.” Chu Jun smiled.
“Just this one.” Li Xiu chose a photo with a full moon and a starry sky as the background. He just pointed it out based on his feeling. Anyway, this set of shots was very good, and each one was beautiful.
“Li Qingyin himself is most satisfied with this piece. Your aesthetics are quite consistent, and there is less communication trouble.” Chu Jun said with a smile: “She also asked me to remind you not to forget the agreement between you, honestly. Tell me, what is the agreement between you two? Have you already betrayed our single aristocratic organization?”
Li Xiu said angrily: “I really want to get rid of the single, but now there are so many things in the city, how can I have the time and opportunity to betray. Also, when did I join any single aristocratic organization?”
“That’s right, Sha Chu didn’t feel anything when she was here. After she left, we were all so busy that we didn’t have time to improve ourselves. This is not the way to go. When will Sha Chu come back?” You sighed.
“It’s only been two days since I left, how can I come back so soon, unless…” Li Xiu suddenly stunned: “Yes, Li Qingyin’s status in the Longevity Association is definitely not low, can you ask her to do me a favor and put the sand Chu got it back?”
Li Xiu regretted that he didn’t think about this issue when he talked about the conditions yesterday, otherwise he could have raised it as a condition.
But then I thought about it again, if I went to ask Li Qingyin like this, it would be like telling the Longevity Association that the relationship between Sha Chu and him was not ordinary, and it was both beneficial and detrimental.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Xiu decided not to mention Sand Chu and wait for her to come back.
As soon as the promotional photos of Li Qingyin and Chuixueji came out, it didn’t take long for them to be on the hot search.
Topics such as the most beautiful testers and the world’s number one demon have been occupying the hot search list.
Originally, a few were holding a magic contest, and they bought hot topics, but they were all suppressed, making those cities that spent a lot of publicity expenses very depressed.
Chu Jun wanted to strike while the iron was hot and continue to hold the Demon Contest next month, but was rejected by Li Xiu.
“Our Demon Contest in the City of Light is only held once a year,” Li Xiu said.
“Once a year is too little, if this continues, we will soon be replaced by other cities, at least twice a year, or we can get a magic league out, so that we can keep the popularity…” Chu Jun didn’t quite understand why he didn’t take advantage of the current situation and hold several more Demon Spirit Contests to consolidate the status of the City of Light Demon Contest.
“As far as our current environment and strength are concerned, it is unrealistic to run a league, and there are not so many high-level demons who will come to participate in our league. If we make up for it, we can just find some demons to play the league and compare it with those big power contests. , the image of the city of demons that we have finally erected, I am afraid it will collapse soon. Instead of fighting to the death with them, it is better to jump out and stand on their heads to make money.” Li Xiu said with a smile.
“What do you mean?” Chu Jun didn’t quite understand what Li Xiu meant.
“Didn’t we have a list of demon spirits before, so you can make this up for me. The more authoritative it is, the better. We don’t need to include only our own demon spirits, but also rank those demon spirits from other demon spirit competitions. Go in. Try to achieve a fair and just ranking, but there is one thing to note, the first few must be our own demons, especially the top three.” Li Xiu said.
“I understand, as long as we get this right, no matter how powerful the demons in other demon competitions are, as long as the demons who haven’t defeated ours will never be recognized as the world’s top…” Chu Jun immediately understood Li repair intention.
“Remember to rank Chuixueji first. It’s really not good. We can give up the rankings of other demons. Chuixueji must be first.” Li Xiu thought for a while and then said.
“Understood, you are trying to use Chuixue Ji as a target. Wouldn’t it be unfair to the little girl, can she bear it?” Chu Jun said a little bit unbearably.
“She can’t carry it, are you going to carry it? Anyway, I won’t carry it.” Li Xiu said, spreading his hands.
“Then let her carry it, I can’t carry it.” Chu Jun said quickly.
“Then don’t hurry up and do it. Whether we can succeed in the next year’s Demon Contest depends on this ranking. You should use more snacks.” After driving away Chu Jun, Li Xiu planned to find a time to go to the Golden Gate. While brushing more magic cores, while improving the quality of the original embryo, the level of Jedi Knights and Demigod Moments will be raised.
The next monster competition will not be at this level. At least an S-rank monster will be able to calm down the scene.
This is also one of the reasons why Li Xiu is reluctant to hold the second Demon Spirit Competition so soon. He needs time to let his Demon Spirit grow up.
Li Xiu got up and was about to go out, but suddenly felt a shuddering feeling, and suddenly summoned a Jedi Knight to block in front of him.
The moment the Jedi Knight came out, the whole body burned with crimson flames, holding the sword in both hands and stomping towards the door, the flames on his body condensed towards the samurai sword.
He actually turned on the Desperate and Unparalleled skills in the first place.
Kacha!
A golden arrow came out of nowhere, slammed into the Jedi knight’s katana sword, and shot the blade directly. Towards Li Xiu at the back.
Li Xiu had already moved back with all his strength, but the golden arrow seemed to have eyes, and stopped at Li Xiu’s chest at an incredible speed.
Li Xiu was in a cold sweat. If it wasn’t for the fact that the other party didn’t have the sincerity to kill him, the arrow would have shot through his heart.
Li Xiu stood still, and regardless of the loss of the golden arrow on his chest, he looked outside the gate.
I saw a figure walking from the sky, the whole body was shrouded in golden light, walking in the air like a god, it didn’t seem to be walking fast, but within a few steps, he had already reached the door.
“Supersoul tester, who are you?” Li Xiu stared at the man, but the golden light on the man’s body was too dazzling, and he couldn’t see his face and appearance at all. Holding a longbow that also bloomed with golden light.
“You don’t have the right to know who I am, you just need to know that all of your reliances are just incompetent things in front of me. If I want to kill you, it is enough as simple as killing an ant.” The man scorned “From now on, you can do whatever Qing Yin asks you to do. If you dare to be disobedient again, the arrow will go straight through your chest next time.”
“You can try it and see if it can penetrate my chest.” Li Xiu raised his hand to stop Ye Xiyuan, Qin Shi and the others who were rushing out of the door wearing magic outfits, motioning them not to come in.
This is a supersoul tester, and they are not opponents.
The man stared at Li Xiu, and the golden arrow missed another point, which had pierced Li Xiu’s coat, but finally stopped and did not pierce his chest.
Li Xiu just looked at him coldly, and didn’t move a bit.
The man reached out and grabbed it, and the golden arrow flew back, fell into his palm, and put it back into the quiver behind him.
“Remember what I said, if there is another next time, God will not be able to keep your life.” After that, the man turned and walked away like a golden lightning bolt, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“Lord City Lord, are you alright?” The Ye brothers and sisters, Qin Shi, Chu Jun, and the bandit rushed in.
“It’s okay, you all go back to work, don’t spread the word about this.” After Li Xiu told them to leave, he used the undead bullet to heal the injured Jedi Knight, and found that the undead bullet could even repair the broken samurai sword.
After doing all this, he took the Jedi back, and then took off his damaged coat. I saw that the killing **** tablet was sticking to his chest, and I don’t know how it got in.
