Immortal Herbs and God-Bestowed Spirit Rings

"Th-this..." Yue Guan was at a loss for words, his lips trembling. "Immortal Herbs... They're all Immortal Herbs..."

"Chrysanthemum Guan, don't lose your composure before the Enshrined," Gui Mei transmitted his voice directly to Yue Guan.

Yue Guan said to Gui Mei, "Do you know what the young mistress has brought out? Immortal Herbs! These are all Immortal Herbs! How am I supposed to remain calm?"

"Immortal Herbs? What are Immortal Herbs?" Gui Mei asked in confusion.

"Immortal Herbs—such treasures can only be found in heaven and are rarely heard of in the mortal world. In this world, people are born with predetermined talents, but that isn't absolute. There are opportunities that can change one's talent, and Immortal Herbs are precisely such opportunities."

After saying that, Yue Guan deliberately explained to everyone what Immortal Herbs were.

"What?" The others had not paid much attention to the flowers and plants Qian Renxue had taken out, but after hearing Yue Guan's explanation, they were utterly shocked.

As they looked at the Immortal Herbs in Qian Renxue's hands, their gazes grew heated.

"That's right. Yue Guan is correct. Immortal Herbs can rewrite your talents and allow your future achievements to reach greater heights," Qian Renxue said. "I will bestow them upon you, but in return, you must offer your loyalty and accept the baptism of Angel holy light."

"We are willing," Xiong Ju, the future Demon Bear Douluo, said without hesitation.

The others quickly followed suit.

Thus, they entered the Angel God Palace to receive the baptism of holy light. Once the baptism was complete, it meant they had pledged their heartfelt loyalty to the Angel God.

Qian Renxue then began bestowing the Immortal Herbs.

"First is Yue Guan. This Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum shall be bestowed upon you."

Yue Guan trembled as he accepted the chrysanthemum Immortal Herb. Like a lovestruck fool, he stroked the flower, unable to put it down. He was even moved to tears. "Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, do you know how long I've searched for you? At last, fate has allowed us to meet."

"Chrysanthemum Guan, do you have to be so exaggerated?" Gui Mei could not help getting goosebumps at Yue Guan's behavior.

"Hmph, you wouldn't understand. Now that I've absorbed an Immortal Herb comparable to my Martial Soul, I'm confident that my future achievements can reach the level of the Second Worship. But if I had absorbed it before becoming a Spirit King, I might even have been able to challenge the Limit Douluo realm." Yue Guan sighed regretfully after speaking. "Ah, what a pity."

Hearing Yue Guan say this, everyone present looked forward to the Immortal Herbs even more eagerly.

Gui Mei was bestowed the Shadow Ghost Grass, Ling Yuan was bestowed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and Xiong Ju was bestowed a second Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. (Huo Yuhao had transplanted many Immortal Herbs down from the Divine Realm.)

After absorbing these Immortal Herbs, these future powerhouses all benefited greatly. Those who had not yet broken through to Soul Douluo successively advanced to that realm, while some Martial Souls underwent evolution.

For instance, Ling Yuan's Blazing Spirit Kite evolved into the top-tier Beast Martial Soul, the Fire Phoenix Spirit.

With the medicinal effects of the Immortal Herbs, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Xiong Ju reached the level of Quasi-Title Douluo.

The elders all offered their congratulations. "Congratulations to the three elders for stepping into the Title Douluo realm." Those who had yet to reach that realm were filled with envy.

Yue Guan said, "This is all thanks to the young mistress bestowing these Immortal Herbs upon us. For such kindness, Yue Guan will obey any command, even if it means being torn apart or smashed to pieces."

Gui Mei, Xiong Ju, and the others also declared their loyalty.

"Your loyalty has already been verified by the holy light," Qian Daoliu said. "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Xiong Ju, step forward."

"Yes, Great Enshrined." The three stepped forward.

Qian Daoliu handed each of them a soul bone. Although the soul bones were not of particularly high age, they were more than sufficient for three Quasi-Title Douluo. "Absorb them. Using the improvements to your physique and spiritual power brought by the soul bones, I require your ninth rings to be Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings."

"Yes, Great Enshrined."

The three gratefully absorbed the soul bones.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue exchanged a glance. The matter of bestowing soul bones had already been confirmed with all the Enshrined.

Spirit Hall had endured for a thousand years and possessed the continent's largest collection of soul bones. In the original timeline, most of those soul bones became the spoils of the two empires, the Clear Sky Sect, and Shrek after Spirit Hall's destruction.

Rather than letting these soul bones gather dust in the treasury and benefit their enemies when Spirit Hall fell, it was better to turn them into fighting strength now and face future enemies with everything they had.

A few hours later, the three finished absorbing their soul bones, and Qian Renxue took out three beads and gave them to them.

"Young mistress, what are these?" Gui Mei asked.

Qian Renxue said, "God-Bestowed Spirit Rings. Use your Soul Power to connect with the spirit beads, and Divine Rings will appear."

They were actually the legendary God-Bestowed Spirit Rings. Everyone present was utterly shocked.

The three who had received the Divine Rings were deeply moved. Following Qian Renxue's instructions, they used their Soul Power to establish a connection with the spirit beads. The elders and Enshrined watched the scene curiously; this was the first time in their lives they had encountered God-Bestowed Spirit Rings.

However, when the three Spirit Rings appeared, they were somewhat bewildered. They were merely pale white ten-year Spirit Rings?

Qian Renxue explained, "The age of a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring depends on the upper limit of your endurance, and it will form the Spirit Skill most suited to you. A ten-year Spirit Ring is only the beginning. If your limits are high enough, even reaching several hundred thousand years with this Spirit Ring would not be a problem."

At this point, Qian Renxue's gaze sharpened. "Spirit Hall has bestowed soul bones and Immortal Herbs upon you. You must prove yourselves worthy of these gifts. With all these enhancements, I demand that your ninth rings reach at least one hundred and fifty thousand years."

Holding the Spirit Ring Pillar, Xiong Ju said, "Of course. This subordinate will not disappoint you. If I cannot obtain a one-hundred-and-fifty-thousand-year Spirit Ring, then I... I'll find an opportunity to perish alongside a Title Douluo of the Upper Three Sects and eliminate a future threat to Spirit Hall."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei also each stated their resolve.

The three sat cross-legged and drew the Spirit Rings toward themselves to absorb them.

Three white Spirit Rings appeared above their first eight rings, and their colors gradually deepened.

They changed from white to black very quickly. The black gradually deepened, then a trace of Blood Red slowly appeared along the ring patterns.

In the end, Blood Red gradually covered the black, and the age of the Spirit Rings officially surpassed one hundred thousand years.

The Spirit Hall elders who had already acquired their ninth rings were filled with envy at the sight. After all, the difference between a Title Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and one without was far from insignificant.

Moreover, such a Spirit Ring represented a Soul Master's foundation. For an ordinary Soul Master to reach level ninety-eight, they needed at least one Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. For Title Douluo whose ninth rings were merely Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings, their limits were usually locked below level ninety-eight.

Xiong Ju's limit stopped at one hundred and seventy thousand years. A bright crimson Spirit Ring circled around him, and the immense Soul Power of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring pushed his level to ninety-two.

Meanwhile, the ages of Yue Guan's and Gui Mei's Spirit Rings continued to rise.

Gui Mei's Spirit Ring reached one hundred and ninety thousand years before reaching its limit, and he finally entered the Title Douluo realm, with a Soul Power Level of ninety-two.
