The city lord of this heavy mountain city actually provided free gems to enter the trial field. After the trial, all the magic cores and other rewards obtained by the trialists belong to the trialists themselves, and they do not need to pay any fees.

No wonder so many trialists come here. The trial items and trial rules in the trial ground are relatively clear, and there are also people who provide gems. As long as anyone is determined to become a trialist, I am afraid they will not let this go.

Opportunity.

"What is the plan of the Lord of Chongshan City? Is he a kind man with a lot of money and no place to spend it, and a brain problem?" After hearing this, Li Xiu felt a little weird.

But the facts are before our eyes. The trial gate in Chongshan City will be opened for free every three days, and many people have already received rewards from it.

One person who claims to have received a reward can be a liar, and ten people can also be a liar. However, over the past few months, there have been hundreds of people who have received rewards from the Chongshan City Trial Gate. To say it is a liar,

The difficulty is indeed quite high.

"Are those selected people all pre-arranged by the Lord of Chongshan City?" Shachu said thoughtfully.

"You can find out if you go to the City Lord's Mansion and have a look." Li Xiu said with a smile.

Anyway, they have to go to the City Lord's Mansion. The person who is most likely to take away the Ximen Official Demonic Equipment is the City Lord of Chongshan City. They have to go and see what kind of person he is.

Today happened to be the day to select the trialists. Li Xiu and others went to the city lord's mansion where the trialists were being selected.

The square in front of the city lord's palace was crowded with people, all lining up to sign up for the trial selection.

Li Xiu looked at it for a while and found that the selection rules were quite fair.

The Lord of Chongshan City has set up a total of three test items to test a person's speed, strength and reaction ability respectively.

The top ten people with comprehensive physical fitness will be arranged to enter the trial field tomorrow.

Unfortunately, they did not see the Lord of Chongshan City himself. There was a dedicated person responsible for selecting the test takers.

"It seems that my magic costume fell into the hands of a knowledgeable person." Ximen Guan thought for a moment and suddenly snorted coldly.

"Are you saying that the Lord of Chongshan City recruiting so many people to the trial field has something to do with your magic costume?" Although Li Xiu understood what Official Ximen meant, he didn't understand what was the difference between the magic costume and the trial ground.

relation.

Ximen Guan curled his lips and said: "The magic suit I studied is extraordinary. Although it is still missing some links, there is no way to use it yet. But knowledgeable people will know the value of my magic suit at a glance, and it will cost them everything."

I will also find a way to complete it. However, if I want to complete the last few links, I need some special magic cores. The Lord of Zhongshan City has done so many things just to get the special S-class magic cores from this trial ground.

"

"Have you known for a long time that there is a trial gate here?" Li Xiu said.

"Why do you think I chose this place for the laboratory?" Ximen Guan sneered: "Now that I know where the magic equipment is, I can rest assured. I can just find a way to get it back later."

After a pause, Ximen Guan said to Li Xiu: "I already know what the Lord of Chongshan City wants to do. He recruits people to enter the trial field just to make the S-level trial appear faster. It seems that he has a deep understanding of this trial field.

You have worked hard to figure out this method. If you want to get some strengthening and rewards, you can take this opportunity to go in a few times. Someone will ask you to strengthen your body for free, why not do it. If

If you can meet the Lord of Chongshan City, help me see what kind of person he is."

Official Ximen told Li Xiu some details about the trial ground. The information he told was more detailed than what the Lord of Chongshan City announced.

The trial ground in Chongshan City is called the Brave Trial Ground. The trial can be said to be simple or difficult.

There is only one trial item in the Brave Trial Ground, the dark maze, which is a completely dark maze.

The maze itself is not very difficult. There are four doors in each room, and there will be many such rooms connected together. You can pass the trial by finding the way out within the specified time.

The higher the level of the dark maze, the more such rooms there are and the shorter the time to pass them.

But for dark mazes below A level, as long as you are careful enough and can remember all the routes you have taken, you will still have enough time to pass through the maze even if you try door by door.

The most difficult part is that you have no ability to see inside and can only rely on your brain to remember the route you have taken. It is easy to lose your sense of direction and repeat the route you have taken. In this case, it will be difficult to get out.

The Lord of Chongshan City made these rules very clear. As long as you don't encounter the A-level dark maze trial, you have a high chance of coming out alive.

But he missed one thing. The more people pass through the dark maze, the more likely it is that a high-level dark maze will appear next time the dark maze is opened.

Of course, the more people who die inside, the more likely it is that a high-level dark maze will appear.

The more people who easily pass through the dark maze at first, the more people will be unable to withstand the temptation and want to take advantage.

The Lord of Chongshan City also made it very clear that if they encounter a Grade A dark maze, the probability of death is very high. This is their own choice. Even if they die in it, the Lord of Chongshan City cannot blame them.

People who have already tasted the sweetness, even if they encounter an A-level dark maze, will only feel that they are unlucky to encounter an A-level dark maze this time.

"In that case, let's go and sign up for the trial." Bandit said.

Li Xiu nodded, and that was exactly what he meant. The dark maze was not a problem for him. It would be great if he could get rewards and physical strengthening without paying any price.

Li Xiu was not short of money in the past, but now that he has Demigod Moment to support, he is really short of money, so he can save whatever he can.

Moreover, physical strengthening is also very important for Li Xiu. The Fire Lotus Sword on his body is still too heavy, so his body needs to become stronger.

Li Xiu, Sha Chu and A'Gie all signed up to participate in the trial selection. Compared with these low-level people, Li Xiu is much better than most people, let alone A'Gie and Sha Chu.

Except for Li Xiu's speed test score, which was very low, all other test scores were very high.

In the final comprehensive scoring, Li Xiu was actually brushed off, and both Agui and Shachu were easily selected.

"Fire Lotus Sword, Fire Lotus Sword, what are you going to do?" Li Xiu sighed lightly, but didn't take it to heart.

After Agui and Shachu were taken to the city lord's palace, Li Xiu and Ximen Guan stayed in a hotel in the city.

Next to the hotel is Gemstone Street. After dinner, Li Xiu went out to stroll around Gemstone Street next to it.

Li Xiu asked Ximen Guan to go with him, but he refused. He was alone in his room with the door closed, tinkering with something.

Chongshan City is located at the junction of Guyue City and Hongsha City. Although it does not produce gems itself, there are many gem dealers from other places in the Southern Cross Federation.

Gemstone Street is quite lively. In addition to shops, you can see vendors setting up street stalls everywhere on the street.

They spread a piece of cloth on the ground or get an old table and sell gems there.

Generally, gems are not placed on the table. When customers come to see them, the stall owner will take out small plastic bags containing various gems, mainly rubies, sapphires and spinels.

There are also some cheaper ones such as tourmaline, peridot, aquamarine, zircon, topaz, moonstone, etc.

However, most of the gems sold in small stalls are of poor quality, especially rubies and sapphires, which have many impurities and are not very large. Some people even take the rough stones and sell them directly.

Li Xiu suspected that many of these stall owners were gem miners who dug gems from black mines and then sold them here.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are people who are doing business without capital and rob gems outside and come here to sell their stolen goods.

Li Xiu looked at them as he walked. He didn't care whether the gems looked good or not, whether they were cut well or not, or whether they were sparkling or not. He didn't care whether the gems were big or small. The main thing was to see whether the gems made him feel hungry.

As he walked and looked around, Li Xiu was more or less disappointed. The gems that gave birth to demonic spirits were indeed very rare. He had seen thousands of gems along the way, but none of them could make him feel hungry.

"What kind of gem is this?" Li Xiu finally found a gem that made him feel hungry at a stall on the street.

The stall was just a piece of rag with a bunch of colorful gems on it. The small ones were as big as a fingernail and the largest ones were bigger than mahjong tiles.

"This is the authentic natural topaz, and this is the natural crystal stone." When the old man saw Li Xiu asking, he immediately greeted him warmly.

Although Li Xiu didn't pay much attention to gems before, he still knew some common sense things.

Gemstones like topaz were still very common before the advent of the devil. Nowadays, topaz is not very expensive, because there are very few trial doors opened with topaz, and the output of topaz is very high, so its value is natural.

It won't be very high.

The hardness and refractive index of topaz are relatively high among gemstones, even close to diamonds.

Not long after topaz was first discovered, some people mistakenly thought it was a diamond.

The diamond in a king's crown was later confirmed to be a colorless topaz.

Most natural topaz has no color, and a few have shades of orange, yellow, blue and red.

In the past, most of the topaz sold on the market had been processed and given laser or coating to make them appear blue, pink and other colors. The value of this kind of topaz itself is actually not high.

The colorful topaz displayed in the old man's stall is obviously the kind of color-treated goods. They are fine for use as jewelry, but they are probably not good for feeding monsters.

Of course, if it is a real natural topaz, especially the yellow topaz known as the imperial topaz, the value is another story.

"Is this also a topaz?" Li Xiu asked, pointing to a dark blue topaz.

"Authentic and natural London blue topaz. Look at the color, cut, and sparkle. It's enough for thirteen carats. You can't find another such perfect topaz on the whole street. You can only exchange it for fifty."

Jin of rice..." Seeing that Li Xiu was a young man, the old man started boasting again.

"I don't have any rice, how about I trade this rough stone with you?" Li Xiu took out a rough pink crystal stone and held it in the palm of his hand for the old man to see.

This was one of the pink spinel crystals that Li Xiu found last time. When he fed it to the Pink Dream Demon, perhaps because it was too small and had too many impurities, the Pink Dream Demon didn't eat it.

There were originally five such pink spinel crystals, and the original stone itself was just over one carat. If it was polished and cut, the remaining part would be less than one carat.

When the old man saw the rough pink crystal stone, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he said with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face: "Such a small rough stone, what kind of rough stone is this?"

"Spinjing." Li Xiu replied.

Seeing that Li Xiu knew what kind of rough stone it was, the old man said again: "The spinel is a good thing, but this rough stone is too small. After cutting and polishing, it will probably only have 0.5 carats, which can be exchanged for my topaz."

Some of them are not suitable, come on, let me take a look first."

The old man took the sharp crystal stone from Li Xiu's hand and brought it close to his eyes, looking left and right. The more he looked at it, the happier he felt.

Although this spinel rough stone is not big, the color and quality are quite good. If it is cut well, it can be about 0.70.8 carats. Although the value cannot be said to be very expensive, it is still more expensive than his topaz.

Much more expensive.

Spinel has more uses than topaz, but its output is much less than topaz.
