"Didn't you receive the Commander's welfare?" Li Qingyi was slightly taken aback, then seemed to understand and said, "No wonder, these matters are all overseen by Vice President Bai. It's quite normal for him not to notify you to collect it."

"That fat guy is trying to pocket my money again, I can't let him get away with that. I'll go to him later. What does the Commander's welfare include?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"Generally, it's a Super Spirit Demon Core and a Super Spirit Gemstone, along with some regular demon cores and gemstones. These are the benefits of becoming a Commander, but some Commanders are willing to exchange these resources for a Demon Spirit Ring or a contract, choosing one of the two. The Dragon-slaying Dagger that Han Mingshou used was obtained by exchanging his Commander's welfare," Li Qingyi explained.

"Such good things exist, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Li Xiu immediately became excited.

He was worried about not having resources to heal the injuries of the Jedi Knight and the Dragon Vein Spirit. With such a batch of resources, all problems would be solved.

"Don't rush this matter. If you go by yourself, Vice President Bai might not readily give them to you and might have various excuses lined up. I'll go with you later," Li Qingyi paused and then continued, "I heard you had a bout with Jing Li, and it ended without a clear winner?"

"Actually, Jing Li had the upper hand. My Demon Armor was already damaged beyond further combat capability, while he could still fight." Li Xiu was honest.

Li Qingyi nodded, "That's pretty much what I suspected. But it's impressive that you managed to fight against Jing Li using Demon Armor and survived. Jing Li is very powerful, and his Symbiotic Contract is terrifyingly strong; it's exceedingly rare to reach the one hundred percent Super Spirit Limit. At the Super Spirit Stage, he is undoubtedly the top, and even I am not confident I could withstand his blade."

Li Qingyi said this not to boost herself, but because she excelled at defense, and if even she couldn't withstand it, it would be even harder for those Super Spirit Testers who were not skilled in defense.

"No wonder he's so strong, it turns out he has a one hundred percent Super Spirit," Li Xiu noted.

"If it weren't for the four great families jointly suppressing him, he'd be more than just Super Spirit. That person is truly fearsome. You shouldn't leave Longevity City for now to avoid giving him another chance," Li Qingyi advised.

"I can't stay in Longevity City forever, can I?" Li Xiu replied.

"I heard you have a good relationship with Eighth Master. Why not ask him to mediate and dissolve the grudge between you and our Li Family's Patriarch? That would naturally eliminate the trouble," Li Qingyi suggested.

"You're also part of the Li Family, isn't it risky for you to be so close to me? Aren't you afraid your family will call you a traitor?" Li Xiu said with a smile, looking at Li Qingyi. He wasn't surprised that Li Qingyi knew about Eighth Master. Previously, she was close to Mo Liu and the others, so it wasn't surprising that she knew about this matter.

"I am me, and the Li Family is the Li Family; they are not to be confused." Li Qingyi shook her head.

"That's good, otherwise I'd truly feel a bit troubled." Li Xiu said calmly.

"You're not planning to reconcile?" Li Qingyi saw through Li Xiu's intentions.

"Others want to fight and kill me, and I'm supposed to go begging for reconciliation? That's something I can't do," Li Xiu said coolly.

"What are your plans then? Stay in Longevity City your whole life? How will you level up, how will you surpass Super Spirit? Without surpassing Super Spirit, you'll always only be a Magic Armor Master Commander, and ultimately will not be able to contend with truly powerful adversaries," Li Qingyi sighed.

"Why can't a Magic Armor Master contend with truly powerful adversaries?" Li Xiu retorted.

"You yourself said your Demon Armor was broken, yet Jing Li still had the strength to fight on. How many sets of Demon Armor can you carry with you? Jing Li is only strong in the Super Spirit Stage. What if you run into a tester stronger than him?" Li Qingyi said, looking at Li Xiu slowly.

"Are there testers stronger than him?" Li Xiu inquired.

"Super Spirit, after all, is still just S-level. Super Spirit is a precursor to advancing to the next level of S-level. Only when Super Spirit power reaches a certain extent, is there a chance to truly surpass S-level. I asked you to accompany me to Tianmen to surpass S-level," Li Qingyi advised, "Jing Li is always on the verge of surpassing S-level, missing only the opportunity, and such a person is of no benefit if you continue to contend with him."

"It's not that I want to contend, it's that I have to. If I retreat now, it will only lead to endless retreats in the future. I don't have eyes on the back of my head and am not accustomed to walking backwards, so I won't retreat," Li Xiu resolved.

"Then you need to be mentally prepared; Jing Li is the hurdle you must cross. How do you plan to cross it?" Li Qingyi stared at Li Xiu and asked.

"I've already taken a new set of Demon Armor from the Institute. The next time I encounter him, the problem will naturally be solved," Li Xiu smiled.

Li Qingyi was exasperated, "I've been talking for so long, and you haven't taken in a word, have you? Unless the Magic Armor Research Institute creates even stronger Demon Armor, the current stage of Magic Armor Masters won't possibly be a match for Jing Li. Being able to come back alive from a duel with Jing Li is already not easy, and if there's a second time, Jing Li surely won't give you another chance to live. Why risk your life out of spite? Take a step back and open up a broader sky; a true man can yield or stand tall..."

Li Xiu quietly listened to Li Qingyi finish before sighing, "I've stood for too long, my legs are numb, I can't kneel down."

"I think it's your heart that's numb," Li Qingyi chuckled, "Anyway, this is the Li Xiu I know, Lord of Light City. Since you're not willing to take a step back, then don't leave the city for now. I'll try to come up with a solution."

"Thank you." Li Xiu expressed his genuine gratitude.

"No need for thanks, just quickly increase the Super Spirit Limit of the Jedi Knight, and then accompany me to Tianmen," Li Qingyi instructed.

"The Jedi Knight was wounded, and the Red Apatite is already used up, I need to get some more Red Apatite first." Li Xiu stated.

"So quickly? What's the Super Spirit Limit of the Jedi Knight now?" Li Qingyi was somewhat surprised.

"Eighty-one percent," Li Xiu answered truthfully.

After hearing this, Li Qingyi pondered, "Then don't run around. I'll figure something out about the Red Apatite, and you should definitely not leave Longevity City for now."

"Understood," Li Xiu replied, then asked, "Do you know anyone in Longevity Sky researching Demon Text?"

"There's a dedicated Demon Text Institute in Longevity Sky, why do you ask?" Li Qingyi queried in confusion.

"I want to study Demon Text," Li Xiu answered.

Li Qingyi regarded Li Xiu with an unusual expression but didn't say anything, making Li Xiu feel slightly uneasy before she finally spoke, "I didn't see it before, you actually have such grand schemes, already preparing for Refining Light?"
