A God-bestowed Spirit Ring! A God-bestowed Spirit Ring that only those who inherited a Godhood could come into contact with!
As Fu Ye's words fell, everyone present, including Gu Rong, began breathing more heavily.
Gods—none had appeared on the continent for a thousand years.
Fifteen thousand years ago, Sea God Poseidon had spent over a thousand years conquering the oceans during the Winter Conquest, eventually ascending to godhood through the Power of Faith.
Ten thousand years ago, a kind-hearted girl wielding a Sacred Sword appeared. By herself, she wiped out all evil and disease in the world, destroying every Evil Soul Master organization of that era.
She established Spirit Hall, whose primary goal was now to eradicate Evil Soul Masters, and used humanity's Power of Faith to break through the limits of Level 99. With Level 100 Soul Power, she became a god.
From then on, word spread across the continent that there were two god-tier Martial Souls, also known as God-bestowed Martial Souls. One was the Sea God, and the other was the Six-Winged Angel!
However, after the Angel God ascended in the present era, not a single god appeared on the continent in the following ten thousand years. That remained true even now.
As a result, they had gradually forgotten the history of gods.
"Could such a divine treasure possibly belong to Brother Fu Ye...?"
Ning Fengzhi's breathing grew even heavier. Anything bearing the label of "god" was anything but ordinary!
"Mm. I passed through several ruins, so I still have some of these lying around."
As he spoke, Fu Ye took out a Blood Red Sphere.
This was a God-bestowed Spirit Ring containing the divine power of the Asura God. Of course, it was a one-hundred-percent replica sold by the system; even the Asura God in the heavens would not be able to sense it.
Fu Ye was not stingy either. He directly placed the Blood Red Sphere containing the God-bestowed Spirit Ring on the table.
Ning Fengzhi immediately summoned his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and began appraising it.
Watching the little pagoda emit golden light, Fu Ye felt that this Martial Soul was quite nice. At the very least, it was genuinely useful for appraising treasures.
"Is this a God-bestowed Spirit Ring?"
Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin all stared curiously at the Blood Red Sphere on the table.
"Mm. Under normal circumstances, the sphere will not be damaged. Only when absorbing the Spirit Ring can the restriction within be opened. Of course, whether one is a Soul Grandmaster or a Titled Douluo, anyone can absorb this Spirit Ring."
"However, this Spirit Ring has a low minimum limit and an extremely high maximum limit. As long as your physique is strong enough, you can even raise its age to 990,000 Years while absorbing it."
As Fu Ye's words fell, everyone present fell silent again. A maximum of 990,000 Years!
"Alright, this God-bestowed Spirit Ring is not some particularly precious item. Brother Chen Xin, take it."
Chen Xin cultivated the path of the sword and the path of slaughter. This God-bestowed Spirit Ring containing the Asura God's divine power was the most suitable for him.
"Brother Fu Ye, this..."
Chen Xin still wanted to decline, but Fu Ye directly tossed the God-bestowed Spirit Ring to him.
"Just take it when I tell you to. How many fifty-year spans does a person have in life? A single God-bestowed Spirit Ring is enough to make you watch my shop for fifty years. You're the one getting the short end of the stick."
He had discovered that people in Douluo Continent had no real concept of time. Fifty years—on Blue Star, that could very well be an ordinary person's entire lifetime.
Shakespeare had said it well: life was short, so one should enjoy it while one could. A few short decades of life meant one brought nothing into the world and took nothing away.
Past lives, future lives—only the happiness of this life mattered most.
"Of course, I won't interfere in your own affairs. I'm giving you this Spirit Ring, and all you need to do is watch the shop for me. I can't be bothered to care about anything else you do."
Ning Fengzhi's desire to recruit Chen Xin did not conflict with Chen Xin watching the shop for him.
As for Ning Fengzhi wanting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to become the Number One sect on the continent? Sorry, that was simply impossible.
A support-system sect could never become the Number One on the Continent. Even if the Clear Sky Sect agreed, Spirit Hall would never sit back and do nothing.
In the end, Chen Xin's combat strength would only increase by twenty or thirty percent. Nothing else would be greatly affected.
After all, major trends could not be changed, though minor ones could. With Chen Xin helping watch over the place, at least his restaurant would not become ruins after he traveled to the future.
Upon hearing Fu Ye's words, a sharp gleam flashed directly through Ning Fengzhi's eyes!
This kid really knew what he was doing!
"Boss! The dishes you wanted prepared are here!"
Xiao Li Zi hurried over with two servers, carrying the dishes.
Mm~ The fragrant bear paw, the soft and chewy Earth Dragon Tendon, and all sorts of other Thousand-Year Level ingredients.
It was not that Fu Ye did not want to eat Ten-Thousand-Year Level ingredients, but those things were far too troublesome to process, and Fu Ye found them bothersome.
One of the servers standing behind Xiao Li Zi was Liu Erlong, who had just joined the big family of Gathering Fragrance Pavilion.
She kept her head lowered, not daring to look at Fu Ye.
"Mm, put everything on the table."
After speaking, Fu Ye turned his gaze toward Liu Erlong, who stood behind Xiao Li Zi.
"Young sir, what a coincidence. We meet again."
Fu Ye looked teasingly at Liu Erlong, who appeared to be a young girl at the moment. Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and the others also turned their gazes toward Liu Erlong, dressed in the Gathering Fragrance Pavilion server uniform.
"Ah, um, what a coincidence indeed."
It was obvious that Liu Erlong in her younger days was thin-skinned. Even her words came out somewhat haltingly.
"Ahem, Xiao Liu, this is the owner of our Gathering Fragrance Pavilion, Fu Ye."
The newly arrived Liu Erlong might not understand, but could Xiao Li Zi not understand? It was obvious that she had met the boss before, and she most likely did not know Fu Ye's name or identity.
As an experienced waiter, he needed to properly introduce his boss at a time like this.
"Ah? You're the owner here! You—"
Before she could finish, Fu Ye waved directly at Xiao Li Zi.
"Leave her here as the server to pour tea and water. The rest of you can go out first."
"Yes, Boss."
"Yes, Boss."
After the other two servers left, Ning Fengzhi looked at her with interest. Since she knew Fu Ye, her identity surely could not be simple either.
However, Ning Fengzhi had guessed wrong this time. The two had merely met by pure "coincidence."
"Young sir, everyone sitting here today is a big shot. Behave well, and I'll raise your pay later."
Even before eating, Fu Ye did not forget to tease Liu Erlong, this little girl.
"Y-yes, I understand."
For the sake of money, Liu Erlong ultimately compromised. She had begun supporting herself ever since she started school at the age of six.
However, after her strength reached the Soul Ancestor rank, Spirit Hall stopped issuing her monthly allowance, leaving her without enough money even to live on.
Fu Ye casually took out fifty jars of Thousand Year Soul Wine. He felt that Ning Fengzhi, that old fox, should be able to drink it too. Of course, whether he could withstand it depended on his own fortune.
After Gu Rong caught the refreshing fragrance of the wine, a sharp gleam immediately appeared in his eyes. Ning Fengzhi was no exception. Only Chen Xin remained relatively normal, since he had already drunk quite a bit of this wine before.
"No Soul Power. We compete purely by alcohol tolerance. The first one to collapse has to bark twice. Dare to do it?"
Chen Xin: Come on! Today, I'll settle who's better with you!
Gu Rong: Really? Then I won't hold back!
Ning Fengzhi: Ah, with fine wine and delicious food already prepared, how could I possibly run away?
The feast on the table was made entirely from Thousand-Year Level ingredients. There was even a plate of Red Jade Shrimp that Ning Fengzhi himself had never eaten before. The aroma of the ingredients had long stirred the appetites of the four people present.
Of course, Liu Erlong, this little girl, was no exception.
