Chapter 179 Ruby Demon Spirit
"Ninety-six percent... ninety-seven percent... it actually increased the limit by two points..." Li Qingyi's eyes widened, full of disbelief.
Before this, Li Qingyi had already used three Super Spirit Gemstones. The first Super Spirit Gemstone allowed her to undergo Super Spirit smoothly, with a Super Spirit Limit of one percent.
The second Super Spirit Gemstone was used when her Super Spirit Limit reached ninety percent and could no longer be raised.
The third Super Spirit Gemstone was applied when her Super Spirit Limit reached ninety-five percent and growth stalled once more.
Yet, the third Super Spirit Gemstone had no effect, leaving her limit at ninety-five percent, without any increase since then.
And now, just from drinking a glass of wine, her Super Spirit Limit increased by two points, which she found hard to believe.
Moreover, Li Qingyi could feel that the glass of wine contained mixed energies of multiple attributes. Such strong multi-attribute energy did not conflict but instead fortified her Super Spirit Limit, which was unimaginable.
"What kind of wine is this?" Li Qingyi asked Li Xiu, her expression complicated.
"Moonlight," Li Xiu replied as he cleaned up the bar tools.
"This isn't ordinary wine?" Li Qingyi wanted to know not the name, but why this wine had such potent effects.
"Of course, it's not ordinary wine. This is a wine I specially mixed for you," Li Xiu laughed.
Li Qingyi paused and, after a while, smiled wryly, "Can't you speak plainly?"
"How am I not speaking plainly? In my view, this wine is quite ordinary. Apart from being specially mixed for you, there's nothing remarkable about it," Li Xiu replied with a smile.
Li Qingyi was speechless, "Fine, if you say it's ordinary, then it's ordinary. Can you mix a wine of wind, fire, and thunder attributes from such ordinary wine?" Li Qingyi asked.
"That might be a bit difficult," Li Xiu mused.
From the wine he opened so far, no Demon Spirit Wine with wind, fire, and thunder attributes had been found, and without it, it obviously couldn't be mixed.
"I'll remember this favor for the wine, and I'll repay it someday," Li Qingyi said.
"You've already helped me before. Mixing wine for you is reasonable, you don't owe me anything, and I don't owe you anything," Li Xiu shook his head.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Could you help me mix a wine with wind, fire, and thunder attributes? Name your terms," Li Qingyi hurriedly asked.
Li Xiu said it was a bit difficult, but not impossible, which in her understanding meant it could be mixed, just with difficulty.
"I'm really sorry, it's not possible to mix now," Li Xiu shook his head.
"Why not? If there's any difficulty, I may be able to help solve it." Li Qingyi urgently pressed, as this related to Bai Ying's ability to achieve Super Spirit.
"You can't help me, and even if I mix it, it won't matter. Here, each person can only drink one glass of wine. You've already had yours; you can't drink a second glass," Li Xiu stated.
"It's not for me." Li Qingyi pondered, "If possible, please mix a wind, fire, and thunder attribute wine for my friend. I'm willing to pay any price. If required, I can use Super Spirit Gemstones to pay for the wine."
"Any terms will do?" Li Xiu eyed Li Qingyi's athletic figure, contemplating.
"You... What do you want..." Li Qingyi blushed, slightly angry, but still asked to avoid any misunderstanding.
"I want you," Li Xiu said.
"Unsavory..." Li Qingyi turned away to leave, unwilling to engage with Li Xiu any further.
"To sign a contract with me, becoming the spokesperson for the Demon Spirit Tournament, what's unsavory about that?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
Li Qingyi stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, realizing she might have misunderstood.
"Sorry... I thought you..." Li Qingyi was momentarily unsure of how to respond.
"You thought I had intentions toward your body, right?" Li Xiu smiled.
"I'm sorry..." Li Qingyi felt somewhat ashamed.
"No need to apologize. What man doesn't like a beautiful woman? It's abnormal not to have thoughts, but a gentleman cherishes beauty in a proper way. I'm not interested in what's bought with money," Li Xiu shrugged.
Li Qingyi was a bit dumbfounded; no one had ever spoken to her so openly, leaving her at a loss for words.
"Think it over. If you are willing to become the spokesperson for the Demon Spirit Tournament, we will need to sign a three-year contract. The contract covers you and Blowing Snow Princess. Within these three years, you can't participate in any other Demon Spirit competitions except for the City of Light Tournament, and you'll need to cooperate with us on promotional ads and so on... I'll have someone prepare a contract with all the details for you to review..." Li Xiu said.
"I'll think about it..." Li Qingyi cast a complicated glance at Li Xiu and then left the Nether House.
After leaving Black Death City and returning to her residence, Bai Ying asked curiously, "Why are you back so late?"
Li Qingyi recounted what had happened with Li Xiu today, as it was related to whether Bai Ying could achieve Super Spirit, she didn't hold anything back.
"Is that wine really so magical? Could he be a fraud?" Bai Ying couldn't believe it and asked.
"I've already verified it myself; a single glass increased my Super Spirit Limit by 2 points. You should know what those 2 points mean to me. There's no faking this," Li Qingyi explained.
