"I don't know. We'll probably find out once we're inside Longevity City." Li Xiu paused and then continued, "Why don't you wait for me in Wansheng Town? After I get into Longevity City and figure out the situation, you can go back."

"That's probably not possible now," Sha Chu said with a wry smile. "Previously, another fellow wanted to recruit me. I used him and the new Commander to keep each other in check until you arrived. I thought I'd be relieved when you came, but things turned out differently when I crossed him."

"Then there's no other choice. We'll just have to enter Longevity City together," Li Xiu said with a smile.

"You can still laugh?" Sha Chu gave him a sharp look. "Think carefully. If you take me into Longevity City with you, you'll end up offending both a Commander and a powerful figure there even before entering the city. Are you sure you want to bring me along?"

"Why not? I've already got the good stuff that two powerful people are interested in. Why would I give it up?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"You're the thing," Sha Chu said, annoyed.

Li Xiu shrugged and said indifferently, "Whether I'm a thing or not doesn't matter. The important thing is how we're going to climb that mountain now."

"Didn't you bring Demon Armor?" Sha Chu asked, looking puzzled at Li Xiu.

"No, who knew I'd have to climb a mountain in Longevity Heaven?" Li Xiu said helplessly. Had he known, he would've brought a set of Demon Armor to avoid this trouble.

"What can I say to you?" Sha Chu said helplessly. "Without Demon Armor, climbing that mountain is quite troublesome. It's not an ordinary mountain. Even Trial Takers find it difficult to climb. Every year, many people from Wansheng Town attempt it and end up dying, or if not, they come back maimed."

"Is the mountain really that hard to climb?" Li Xiu asked, surprised.

Although the mountain looks like a mushroom, for ordinary people, it's not easy to climb from the bottom.

However, with a Trial Taker's physique, climbing it with some tools shouldn't be too difficult.

"The first time I came here, the old Commander took me up. Later, when I had the Avenger, I could fly up myself and never had to climb Spiral Mountain. But I heard it has a mysterious magnetic field that possibly alters gravity, making it feel like you're climbing with weights. Without S-grade physique, it's nearly impossible to go up. Trial Takers from Wansheng Town generally wait until they're S-grade to dare climb. Many lower-tier Trial Takers who try meet tragic ends," Sha Chu explained.

"Isn't there any other way?" Li Xiu felt the situation was tricky.

He's only C-grade, and Sha Chu might be at most C-grade, or not even there. The two of them attempting Spiral Mountain is indeed a challenge.

Li Xiu thought about it carefully and realized none of his Demon Spirits could fly.

The Ice Soul Sea Demon can float, but the height is limited and not strong enough to carry them.

"I wonder if Dragon Vein Spirit has the ability to climb mountains," he pondered.

"Looks like we'll be stuck in Wansheng Town, but that's okay. How many Gemstones did you bring? We can try our luck at the Trial Gate; maybe we'll find a flying Demon Spirit." Sha Chu thought it over and proposed.

"That's an idea," Li Xiu agreed and asked, "Is there a place in Wansheng Town to buy Demon Armor, even low-grade ones that can fly?"

Sha Chu laughed and said, "My dear City Lord Li, do you think if there were such Demon Armor here, anyone would leave it unused and still climb?"

"Maybe people just like challenges and want to climb themselves," Li Xiu laughed.

"Stop dreaming about good things; focus on getting a flying Demon Spirit. I know which Trial Gates produce them, but it requires luck for entry tickets and luck to get a Demon Spirit Ring. Do you have enough Gemstones?" Sha Chu asked Li Xiu.

Li Xiu placed his bag of Gemstones in front of Sha Chu: "All the Gemstones I brought are here."

Sha Chu opened it and found just over twenty gems, each one or two carats in size, with a decent variety, including Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, Spinel, and Diamond, but the quantity was very limited.

"You came to Longevity Heaven with such a small amount of Gemstones?" Sha Chu's eyes widened.

"To be honest, I came to Longevity Heaven to take advantage, so why bring so many Gemstones?" Li Xiu said.

"Your idea... how should I put it... is indeed quite optimistic," Sha Chu was at a loss for words.

"I thought having an invitation card meant being a VIP, but turns out a VIP is no better than a dog," Li Xiu chuckled. "No problem, we don't need flying Demon Spirits to climb; we'll just climb ourselves."

"You think you'll rely on the Jedi Knight to climb? That's difficult, even S-grade Demon Spirits barely fend for themselves on Spiral Mountain, let alone climb carrying two people," Sha Chu shook her head.

"My Jedi Knight isn't just S-grade," Li Xiu said.

"You don't mean to tell me the Jedi Knight is already Super Spirit, do you?" Sha Chu was shocked, staring in disbelief.

She spent immense effort and resources just to elevate the Avenger to S-grade, and never dared to dream of becoming a Super Spirit.

That quick and in so little time, Li Xiu's Jedi Knight reached Super Spirit level; it was unbelievably fast.
