Misfortune and Blessing, a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring

Lucifer was willing to reveal this information partly to reassure Qian Daoliu and the others.

Otherwise, if they treated him like a bomb that could explode at any moment, it would hinder his mischief-making!

At least this would reduce some of their hostility toward him in the short term!

The effect was obvious!

Qian Daoliu's expression immediately relaxed considerably.

If that was truly the case, then he had plenty of time to find a solution!

However, Qian Daoliu did not believe him so easily.

"Who knows if you're lying!" he snorted coldly.

Lucifer said proudly, "Believe it or not, I never prove anything!"

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu believed him a little more.

In his view, the strong usually disdained to lie!

He pondered carefully—

Even with only his soul remaining, Lucifer's sword could send him flying!

How strong must he have been at his peak?

And such immense power surely placed high demands on its vessel!

Even if it did not need to reach the level of a Titled Douluo as Lucifer had said, it would at least need the level of a Spirit Douluo!

After analyzing it, Qian Daoliu felt that Lucifer's words were indeed highly credible!

This immediately eased the worry that had been weighing on him for some time!

At least the day the bomb exploded was still far away!

He could slowly figure out how to defuse it!

"I agree to your conditions!" Qian Daoliu finally relented.

"However, you must also keep your promise!"

"Don't cause incidents like this one and the last one again!"

Lucifer looked at Qian Renxue and snorted. "This body is too weak right now!"

"It will only limit my strength! I have no interest in her at the moment!"

"You..." Qian Renxue was furious at being insulted for no reason.

Yet Qian Daoliu was delighted to hear that.

Having no interest was a good thing!

Thus, the two sides reached an agreement.

The tense atmosphere immediately eased considerably.

Lucifer sat down without ceremony, picked up a wild fruit, and tossed it into his mouth.

Unfortunately, he was now a being of pure energy. He could only absorb the energy within it; he had no sense of taste and could not taste its flavor!

"Sometimes, the taste you get from food is actually your mood!" He smiled at Qian Renxue.

Mood? Qian Renxue was bewildered.

Qian Daoliu only found Lucifer inexplicable.

"Father!"

"Xue'er!"

Shouts came from outside. Qian Xunjie had arrived.

Several worshippers from the Elder Hall had arrived with him as well.

The moment Qian Xunjie entered, he locked his gaze onto Lucifer!

"Fallen Angel!"

The worshippers behind him also focused their gazes on Lucifer.

They had only heard his name before; this was their first time seeing him in person!

He looked innately evil at a glance!

That was the first thought of the worshippers!

"Father, is Xue'er all right?" Qian Xunjie asked.

Qian Daoliu shook his head. "She is not seriously hurt!"

The current situation and atmosphere left Qian Xunjie somewhat confused.

"Why aren't we making Xue'er retract her Second Spirit?"

Qian Daoliu had no choice but to explain it to him.

After learning the situation, Qian Xunjie and the others all breathed sighs of relief, and their hostility toward Lucifer was no longer as strong.

At least for a long time to come, Lucifer was safe as far as they were concerned.

The group rested for a day at the Spirit Hall's main hall in Star Glory City.

During that time, Guiluo served these formidable figures with trembling care, terrified that even the slightest inadequacy would bring down their thunderous wrath!

A day later, the formidable figures departed.

Guiluo felt the relief of having survived a disaster.

He did not dare hope for any credit; he only prayed that he had committed no fault!

When Qian Daoliu's group returned to Spirit City, they still chose to cross the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, they planned to take the opportunity to add Qian Renxue's Second Spirit Ring.

At this moment, Lucifer suddenly appeared.

After their previous discussion, Qian Renxue was already willing to cooperate with him.

As long as Qian Renxue sensed his will and submitted without resisting, he no longer needed to use other methods to appear.

Qian Daoliu and the others focused their gazes on Lucifer, not knowing why he had suddenly appeared.

"Catch a Thousand-Year Spirit Beast and give her a Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!" Lucifer pointed at Qian Renxue.

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. "Although the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul has Innate Level 20 Full Spirit Power and is highly unusual!"

"The first two Spirit Rings can still only be Hundred-Year Spirit Rings!"

"The age of a Spirit Ring is affected by many factors. It does not depend solely on Spirit Quality!"

Qian Xunjie said in an unfriendly tone, "Our Qian Family has its own established cultivation path. We do not need your concern!"

Lucifer glanced at him. "I'm talking to your father! Why are you interrupting?"

"You..." Qian Xunjie immediately flew into a rage.

When had Your Eminence the Pope ever been spoken to like that?

"Enough!" Qian Daoliu stopped the dispute in time.

With his old father speaking, Qian Xunjie could only let the matter drop.

Although Qian Daoliu had said that earlier, he was also very curious why Lucifer had specifically appeared to bring this up.

"Why do you say that?" he asked.

"Have you forgotten what happened when she absorbed her First Spirit Ring?" Lucifer asked in return.

"You mean..."

Qian Daoliu recalled that scene.

When Qian Renxue reached her limit while absorbing her First Spirit Ring and fainted, Lucifer took control of her body.

The Spirit Ring absorption was then immediately completed!

"...You can help Xue'er absorb Spirit Rings?"

"That's right!" Lucifer nodded.

In fact, he could directly grant Qian Renxue Spirit Rings as well.

The Subsystem Exchange Shop contained Spirit Rings of every category and age.

As long as he had enough Repulsion Value, he could exchange for them.

And after all his recent antics, his Repulsion Value had increased quite a bit.

Even exchanging for a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring would be more than affordable!

However, he knew that Qian Daoliu would definitely not agree to let him directly add a Spirit Ring to Qian Renxue.

On Douluo Continent, although God-Bestowed Spirit Rings could automatically adjust to the highest possible age according to a Soul Master's Physical Quality and Spiritual Power limit.

They could also perfectly suit the Martial Soul and maximize its advantages.

But they contained the power of gods.

Qian Daoliu certainly knew this.

So he would surely think Lucifer was taking this chance to taint Qian Renxue with darkness.

Therefore, Lucifer could not be bothered to go through the trouble.

They could talk about it later!

In any case, in this world, it was not as if the age of Spirit Rings that had already been obtained could not be increased.

Even so, Qian Daoliu still suspected Lucifer's motives.

"Why are you helping us?"

"Didn't I say it before? She is the Power Carrier I've chosen!" Lucifer said irritably.

As soon as he said that, the atmosphere froze.

That was right!

Lucifer had said this long ago.

It was only because Qian Daoliu and Lucifer had reached an agreement that the two sides had entered a Honeymoon Period.

Qian Daoliu and the others had believed that Lucifer was temporarily safe.

Now, Lucifer had reminded them again.

But misfortune and blessing went hand in hand!

Qian Daoliu keenly realized that this was an opportunity.

Although Lucifer was laying the groundwork for his future plans, they could also use this to help Qian Renxue break through her Spirit Ring limit!

Both sides believed they would ultimately reap the final fruit, so both worked hard to cultivate it!

In short, this was a game between the two sides!
