When 'God' Decides To Start Over-Chapter 778 - 310 Jiang Linglan_3
Li Xiu looked down at the fish pond and noticed there were quite a few fish inside, white with blue spots swimming back and forth, each at least one or two feet long.
The bottom of the pond was covered with various colored pebbles, but upon closer inspection, those were not pebbles at all.
Those reds, greens, purples, blues, and whites were clearly pieces of jade.
Among them were high-quality icy jade and glass jade, each piece was crystal clear and beautiful.
Jiang Linglan crouched down, reached into the pond, stirred the water a few times, and then fished out a jade piece the size of a fist.
The jade looked like a pebble, but it was crystal clear, shining like an ice block with a greenish hue.
"Help me take this jade piece to Wu Xinglie," Jiang Linglan said as she tossed the icy jade piece in her hand to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu caught the jade, and felt a bone-chilling cold as if it were a real ice block.
Fortunately, Li Xiu had cold resistance, so it didn't bother him too much. Upon closer inspection, he found many small characters carved on the icy jade, all in Demon Text.
Li Xiu was about to examine the Demon Text to understand its meaning when Jiang Linglan spoke again, "Take this one to Li Boyang."
Li Xiu looked up to see another jade piece thrown to him by Jiang Linglan. He caught it and saw it was another fist-sized jade, but this one was mainly purple and green, it was a Spring-Colored Jade.
What is called Spring-Colored Jade, is actually closer to the color of the watercress flower.
Li Xiu examined the Spring-Colored Jade in his hand and found it also had many Demon Text characters carved on it, though he didn't look closely.
Who knows if the Demon Text on it holds Jiang Linglan's secrets? If she doesn't want others to know and finds out he understands Demon Text, it could be awkward.
"Alright, I'll deliver this to the guild master." Li Xiu packed away both jade pieces and turned to leave.
To his surprise, Jiang Linglan called him back again. If it weren't for being under another's roof having to keep low, Li Xiu wouldn't care much for her.
But now, having no other choice, he turned around and looked at Jiang Linglan indifferently.
"Having you do all this, I can't let it be for nothing. From here, you can choose a piece of jade to take with you as my reward for your help," Jiang Linglan said with a smile, seemingly seeing through Li Xiu's thoughts.
"Ahem, you're truly considerate, then I won't be polite." Li Xiu finally felt like examining the jade at the bottom of the pool carefully.
The jade at the bottom of the pond wasn't very big, the largest being the size of a human head, and came in colors like red jade, purple jade, blue jade, green jade, etc., with several Spring-Colored ones, mostly green.
Besides these jades, there were some black or gray stones, slightly larger than the jade.
"This is what you deserve, don't be shy, pick any you want," Jiang Linglan said with a smile, "Those unopened ones are raw jade stones, with a layer of stone skin outside. There's a good chance they have jade inside, but the quality can't be guaranteed."
Li Xiu watched for a while, quickly focusing on a blackish, human-head-sized raw jade stone and pointed at it, "I want it."
"Are you sure you want the raw jade stone?" Jiang Linglan asked with some surprise, "If you don't understand jade, I can tell you that among the jade at the bottom, there are a few pieces of glass-type imperial green and blood jade, which are the most valuable. With raw jade, the quality of the jade depends on luck, even with the best luck, it'll be just glass-type imperial green at most, are you sure you want to gamble?"
"I just like the challenge of the unknown, things are too obvious, not much fun," Li Xiu stated insincerely.
Choosing the raw jade stone wasn't because he liked gambling, nor for challenging the unknown; it was because upon seeing that stone, he felt a familiar hunger, indicating it was not ordinary, perhaps a Demon Spirit Gemstone.
Of course, Li Xiu couldn't be entirely sure, because here in the Demon Spirit Realm, whether the jade is similar to Earth's jade is uncertain.
Still, since it stirred his hunger, even if it's not a Demon Spirit Gemstone, it must have its own special attributes.
"A young person enjoying excitement isn't necessarily bad," Jiang Linglan seemed to appreciate Li Xiu's way of handling things, and said no more, picking up the slightly larger-than-head-sized raw jade stone from the pool and handing it to Li Xiu.
Li Xiu held the raw stone in his arms and then turned to Jiang Linglan to ask, "Do you have anything else? If not, I'll really be on my way."
"How will you leave?" Jiang Linglan asked with a smile.
Her question put Li Xiu in a difficult spot.
Previously, entering the Land of Trial always involved using a ticket from the Trial Ground. Simply extinguishing the Longevity Lamp allowed him to return.
This time, he was brought in by the Jade Demon King, not going through the Trial Ground, thus without a ticket and therefore no Longevity Lamp, making leaving certainly an issue.
"I'll have Jade send you back," Jiang Linglan smiled.
"Thank you," Li Xiu said awkwardly, as Jiang Linglan seemed to notice his impatience.
Following Jiang Linglan back to the top of the tower, Li Xiu climbed down the rope again.
Jiang Linglan called softly for Jade, and soon Li Xiu felt the ground vibrate. Shortly after, the massive body of the Jade Demon King appeared outside the Jade Castle.
"Jade, send him out through the Jade Gate," Jiang Linglan ordered the Jade Demon King.
This time, the Jade Demon King was gentle, bending over to extend a hand to the ground before Li Xiu, and after he jumped onto it, it slowly raised him, holding him in its palm.
"By the way, earlier I saw your Jade spit out a baby from its mouth as it sent it out the Jade Gate, what's the origin of that baby?" Before leaving, Li Xiu remembered the baby he saw and couldn't help but curiously ask.
Standing on the balcony, Jiang Linglan's face suddenly changed when she heard this, her gaze turned icy cold as she stared at the Jade Demon King.
Seeing her expression, Li Xiu had a very bad feeling immediately.
