Thud!
Jani kneeled before Li Xiu with a thud, tears and snot flowing as he said, "In this lifeti, being favored by you, my lord, is the greatest honor. I would go through fire and water for you without regret. Only without to serve you in the future, I hope the City Lord takes good care of himself..."
The guard squad mbers nearby were stunned, unable to imagine their captain Jani, usually so high and mighty, showing this side.
Li Xiu almost couldn’t help but laugh, suppressing his smile, he said, "Alright, get up, no one is asking you to die. I might really be a bit unaccustod without you by my side."
"My lord... with your words... I could die fulfilled..." Jani appeared sorrowful, like a warrior dying for a kindred soul, yet he wouldn’t get up to take the drink.
"Get up, you don’t need to drink it, find soone to drink in your place, would you agree?" asked Li Xiu.
"I agree, I agree, thank you, my lord." Seeing Li Xiu’s expression, Jani dared not continue playing the tragic role, he nodded while rising.
With Jani’s agreent, Li Xiu took up the wine cup and drank it all.
Like icy spring water, the liquid flowed down his throat into his belly, instantly spreading coldness throughout his body, as if falling into an ice cellar.
"My lord..." Jani was stunned seeing Li Xiu drink it himself, deeply regretting inside.
He wasn’t yet realizing the wine was sothing good, but thought Li Xiu was testing him with it, feeling he missed the chance to show loyalty.
Li Xiu ignored him, directing the terrifying cold within his body towards the Evil Spirit Token.
"You should leave now," Li Xiu said lightly.
"My lord, I..."
Jani wanted to say sothing but was imdiately interrupted by Li Xiu, "Leave, wait outside."
"Yes." Jani dared not say more, leading the guard squad mbers out of the Nether House, standing outside keeping watch.
"Cri and Punishnt is one of the three most difficult drinks to mix. A slight mistake will not only be unbeneficial but also leave you in a fate worse than death. You are quite bold, daring to mix this drink," the tavern owner’s voice ca from upstairs.
Li Xiu had no ability to chat with the tavern owner now; the cold within him grew more severe, freezing his entire body. Not only could he not open his mouth to speak, but even moving his lips was impossible.
He directed that terrifying energy into the Evil Spirit Token. Just as he thought, once the energy entered the Evil Spirit Token, the blue Light Vein Map lit up.
As more energy was drawn into the Evil Spirit Token, the light veins on the blue Light Vein Map continued to light up.
"Even if you successfully mix this, not just anyone can drink Cri and Punishnt. It has another na: Eternal Seal at the End of Fall. If a common person drank it, they’d be permanently sealed, never awakening for thousands of years," the tavern owner sighed, "It was hard to get a bartender who isn’t really one. Don’t you dare die on ."
With a change of tone, the tavern owner spoke with a smile, "But if you were eternally sealed here, it’s not entirely bad for . At least soone would be here keeping company, alleviating a bit of my loneliness."
Li Xiu naturally couldn’t respond to the tavern owner; the cold inside him seed endless. Even after the blue Light Vein Map was fully lit, it kept surging in madly.
Luckily, the Evil Spirit Token’s capacity was extraordinarily strong as the cold kept pouring in, the Evil Spirit Token began to undergo a strange transformation.
The process of Super Spirit is from quantitative changes inspiring qualitative ones. Generally, when a Symbiotic Contract becos Super Spirit, its form changes.
The changes in the Evil Spirit Token indicated it was beginning to undergo Super Spirit.
Li Xiu originally thought he’d need to drink several cups to make the Evil Spirit Token undergo Super Spirit, hence gathering so many people. Yet the energy in just this one cup exceeded his expectations.
The red and blue Light Vein Map on the Evil Spirit Token shone brightly, the token body seeming to lt gradually disappearing.
Only the red and blue light lines remained, which surprisingly rged with Li Xiu’s Light Vein within his body, transforming them into a tangible existence.
This was equivalent to directly condensing a Light Vein, a complete red and blue Light Vein, no different from the Light Base level.
These Light Veins have slight differences from regular Light Base Level Veins. Where others shatter the contract into a foundation, typically, Light Veins are ford from nothing. Once the Evil Spirit Token rged with Li Xiu, the red and blue Light Veins beca like blood vessels, not only storing a large amount of Light Energy, but also able to accommodate its flow within.
Due to the strong Light Veins, one can faintly see the red and blue Light Veins glowing on Li Xiu’s body from the outside, resembling light patterns that cover the entire body like veins.
"Tavern owner, you’re overthinking. If you wanted soone to keep you company, you should’ve just said so. If I did get frozen here, unable to speak a word, what’s the point of staying here to accompany you?" Li Xiu joked.
In a mont, Li Xiu had absorbed all the energy transford from Cri and Punishnt into the Light Veins ford by the Evil Spirit Token.
Generally, when a contract enters the Super Spirit State, it upgrades from one percent of the Super Spirit Limit.
Yet because the energy from Cri and Punishnt was so strong, upon complete absorption, the Evil Spirit Token’s Super Spirit Limit directly reached a hundred percent. With a single opportunity, it’s already possible to shatter the contract into a foundation.
Li Xiu didn’t do so because he never intended to go the path of shattering the contract into a foundation. He wanted to establish his foundation directly using his Light Seed, not needing to rge into a Contract Foundation Establishnt.
