"After this Starlight Ruby ca into my possession, it hasn’t been contracted. As for whether it was contracted before, that’s not sothing I can know." Li Xiu paused and said with a smile, "As for how I can be sure it’s a Demon Spirit Gemstone, to be honest, I can’t say for certain yet. I just feel it’s very likely to be a Demon Spirit Gemstone, which is why I wanted to ask you to take a look."
"Feelings? How do you feel?" Li Qingyi asked, puzzled.
She had never heard of anyone being able to determine whether a gemstone contained a demon spirit just by intuition. Even in the immortal realm where Demon Spirit Gemstones have been studied for thousands of years, such a thing had never occurred.
"To be frank, I once mistakenly swallowed a Demon Spirit Ruby, and since then, I’ve had so subtle sensations towards rubies." Li Xiu said half-truthfully, trying to uncover useful information from Li Qingyi by throwing a few hints.
"You swallowed a Demon Spirit Gemstone?" Li Qingyi was taken aback.
Swallowing a Demon Spirit Gemstone is not good. Experints had long been conducted in the immortal realm to test whether swallowing a Demon Spirit Gemstone could speed up the contracting process.
But the results were terrifying. Li Qingyi knew from the experint data that those who underwent the experint later beca very frightening.
"Do you know what the consequences of ingesting a Demon Spirit Gemstone are?" Li Qingyi asked Li Xiu with a serious expression.
"If I knew, I wouldn’t have swallowed it." Li Xiu sighed.
"Since you’ve received an invitation card, you’re considered part of the immortal realm, so I won’t hide it from you. Those who swallow a Demon Spirit Gemstone are likely to suffer spiritual chaos and beco mad. If I were you, I would imdiately find a way to remove it. If you can’t naturally expel it, I suggest you have surgery to remove it as soon as possible." Li Qingyi said solemnly.
"I want to remove it, but I can’t find it." Li Xiu smiled bitterly.
"What do you an by you can’t find it?" Li Qingyi was slightly taken aback.
Li Xiu handed over several X-ray films to Li Qingyi. After Li Qingyi finished inspecting them, she looked at him with so suspicion and asked, "Are you sure you swallowed the Demon Spirit Gemstone? Or maybe it was expelled from your body without you noticing."
"I’m certain I swallowed it, and it hasn’t been expelled; otherwise, I wouldn’t have this feeling towards this Starlight Ruby." Li Xiu pointed to the Starlight Ruby in the box and asked, "Is there any way to quickly confirm whether this Starlight Ruby is indeed a Demon Spirit Gemstone? I want to know if my feeling is right."
Actually, Li Xiu wanted to know whether the demon spirit inside this Starlight Ruby was strong enough to help him achieve the promotion plan to D-level.
This idea was inspired by the Unparalleled King, given that he confird the reason for his inability to advance to D-level was due to the young demon spirit and ruby.
Although he didn’t know which one was the cause, or perhaps both were involved, it certainly was the issue with these two.
Based on the current situation, the young demon spirit couldn’t handle the ruby; otherwise, the ruby would have already transford into a Demon Spirit Ring.
However, it was certain that the young demon spirit should have the upper hand, otherwise, the demon spirit within the ruby would have influenced Li Xiu, but fortunately, no such influence appeared.
Therefore, Li Xiu planned to disrupt the situation by adding another Demon Spirit Gemstone, provided this Demon Spirit Gemstone wouldn’t be swiftly transford into a Demon Spirit Ring by the young demon spirit; hence, it demanded the demon spirit inside the gemstone be strong enough.
This thod was extrely risky, but Li Xiu didn’t have many options left; he couldn’t just forever stay at E-level.
Li Xiu had already considered the possible situations that might arise from adding another Demon Spirit Gemstone.
The best result would be a three-way struggle, with him benefiting from it; the worst result would see all three drawing his blood, making it harder for him to advance.
Another possibility was that any two parties might form an alliance to eliminate the third.
No matter the possibility, a period of chaos was inevitable at the beginning, and Li Xiu wanted to seize this opportunity to advance to D-level.
Li Xiu dared to play this dangerous ga because he was certain he wasn’t afraid of being seized by a demon spirit; otherwise, he wouldn’t risk it.
"The normal way to verify if it’s a Demon Spirit Gemstone is cultivating through blood, though it takes so ti." Li Qingyi said.
"I know about the Blood Nourishing Technique too, but is there a faster thod? Preferably one that can determine whether it’s a Demon Spirit Gemstone in a short ti." Li Xiu asked.
"If you want to test a batch of gemstones to see if any are Demon Spirit Gemstones, I really can’t check in a short ti. However, if you just want to confirm if this one is a Demon Spirit Gemstone, there is a thod, though it’s risky and not worth it." Li Qingyi pondered.
"What thod?" Li Xiu quickly pressed.
"Have you heard of Gu Cultivation, where various poisonous insects are placed in a sealed environnt? Without food or water, they fight each other until the last one standing becos the Gu insect king." Li Qingyi explained, "Although Demon Spirit Gemstones aren’t Gu insects, if you place them in a completely sealed environnt where they can’t absorb external energy, they absorb energy from each other instead. If you place two Demon Spirit Gemstones together, and after a while, one of the gemstones becos cloudy and darkens, it indicates both gemstones are Demon Spirit Gemstones. If neither gemstone changes, it suggests one is just a normal gemstone, as Demon Spirit Gemstones won’t absorb energy from a regular gemstone."
"However, this thod has a downside. If both are Demon Spirit Gemstones, one will surely be damaged; at best, it will lower the Primordial Embryo Quality or diminish quality, at worst, it could break the Demon Spirit Gemstone, causing the demon spirit inside to disappear entirely."
