In addition, as Spirit Masters gain spiritual energy and extend the lifespan of their spirit rings, [Heavenly Dao] can record the entire process of the ring's lifespan increase, significantly reducing the time Tang San would need for research.
This allows for a better understanding of how to enhance the flow path of spiritual power in spirit techniques and further improve its efficiency—achieving the greatest effect with the least amount of spiritual power.
"Increasing the lifespan of a spirit ring can reduce the spiritual power consumed when using spirit techniques, thereby improving its efficiency," Bibi Dong said, after casting several glances at Tang San. "Most people only notice the first benefit, but you recognized the second. Even more remarkable is that you found a way to extend the lifespan of spirit rings."
Extending the lifespan of a spirit ring?
Perhaps only god-level power could achieve that, yet Tang San managed to do it. Together with Xiao Wu, he found and connected to that energy space, where the energy could be used to extend the lifespan of spirit rings.
How lucky must he be?
Moreover, after finding it, he didn't even consider keeping it to himself but instead chose to share it. Although it was for the sake of researching something more fundamental, such magnanimity is beyond what most people could comprehend.
Even she herself felt ashamed in comparison.
If Tang San knew what Bibi Dong was thinking, he would have laughed loudly. The Spirit Beast Illusion had already been incorporated into the Starry Sky World, and its ultimate authority was tightly bound to his Blue Silver Emperor and Primordial Spirit. Others would only have usage rights.
"Your praise is too generous, Your Holiness. I was merely lucky," Tang San replied calmly. "So, should we open the Spirit Beast Illusion realm?"
"Yes, the first group to enter will be carefully selected by me," Bibi Dong nodded, drafting a list. Naturally, the Golden Generation, including Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan, would be included. Next would be Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, followed by Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo.
After much deliberation, Bibi Dong decided to include these two titled Douluo as well, with the intention of fully winning them over to her side.
After all, no matter how much one yearned for the Hall of Worship, for titled Douluo, increasing their strength was the best path forward. The Spirit Beast illusion realm could extend the lifespan of their spirit rings, and the spirit beasts there had a much higher chance of dropping spirit bones than in the real world.
This would undoubtedly make those two more loyal. And when she offered them the "Body Refinement Art," they would surely become even more devoted, realizing who they should follow for a grander future.
Later, Bibi Dong followed Tang San into the Spirit Beast Mirage space through the Blue Silver Emperor, sensing the energy within. "The energy here is of extremely high quality, an excellent supplement for divine souls, but it's useless for ordinary spirits. Aside from feeling that the 'air' here is fresh, they wouldn't be able to absorb any of the energy."
Recognizing the potency of the energy in this place, Bibi Dong asked Tang San to grant her access to it at any time.
Tang San agreed, but like everyone else, Bibi Dong would have to pay the corresponding spiritual energy for whatever she took—whether it be the "spiritual energy" permeating the space or the "spiritual power" and spirit bones dropped by the spirit beasts.
After all, Bibi Dong wasn't like Xiao Wu and the others; she was his superior. He couldn't let her freeload... In work matters, there could be no favoritism; everything had to be accounted for clearly to ensure a long-term relationship.
Afterward, Hu Liena and the other members of the Golden Generation, along with Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, Demon Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and several soul douluo-level Red-robed Chiefs, were summoned by Bibi Dong to the Pope's Palace. Under Tang San's introduction, they learned about the existence of the Spirit Beast illusion realm, and all were both shocked and excited.
After trying it out, they were further exhilarated to see their spirit rings change color.
With the lifespan of their spirit rings increased, the consumption of spiritual power when using spirit techniques became less, greatly enhancing their stamina in battle. In the future, they might even possess a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring!
Hu Liena gazed at her spirit rings, now a blend of purple and black, and sighed, "The ideal spirit ring configuration might not matter much anymore."
Yan agreed, "Nana is right."
This was true, as once the Spirit Beast illusion realm became accessible to all, everyone's spirit ring lifespan could be extended. It wouldn't be impossible for someone to reach the nine-ring, hundred-thousand-year mark.
Indeed, the concept of the optimal spirit ring configuration would lose its significance.
"This illusion can really drop spirit bones!" Chrysanthemum Douluo remarked, his expression peculiar as he held a nine-thousand-year left arm bone in his hand, barely restraining himself from absorbing it.
For the Titled Douluo present, the allure of spirit bones was irresistible. Even a thousand-year spirit bone was a rare treasure since none of them were fully equipped with spirit bones.
Moreover, the one Chrysanthemum Douluo held was a nine-thousand-year bone, nearly reaching the ten-thousand-year level.
Hu Liena eyed the spirit bone for a moment, then turned to Bibi Dong and Tang San, saying, "Your Holiness, Your Highness, I think we should charge an entry fee when opening the Spirit Beast illusion realm in the future, to increase the income of the Spirit Hall. If someone acquires a spirit bone, they should be required to purchase it at a fair price upon leaving."
Hu Liena could already envision a future, perhaps not too distant, where the number of spirit bones would surge, no longer as rare as they are now, when they often lead to brothers, sisters, and spouses turning against each other.
At the very least, such occurrences would decrease as the number of spirit bones increased.
When spirit bones are no longer kept secret and become more accessible, setting a price on them will be necessary.
"That makes sense," Bibi Dong nodded. "Even for members of the Spirit Hall, entering the illusion realm should come with a fee, though with discounts. For example, Spirit Masters of the Spirit Hall will get a ten percent discount; Grandmasters, twenty percent; Spirit Elders, thirty percent, and so on, with Titled Douluo getting a ninety percent discount. Those above level ninety-five can enter for free."
No one objected.
After all, when a major power like the Spirit Hall increases its revenue, it also needs to stimulate internal spending to keep the funds circulating, ensuring sustainable development.
"Titled Douluo will also have the privilege of bringing one person in for free; those above level ninety-five can bring two; level ninety-six, three, and so on. For every level above ninety-five, an additional free entry pass will be granted," Bibi Dong added after some thought. "This is an incentive for Spirit Hall Spirit Masters to reach the nine-ring level."
Demon Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo were overjoyed. Unlike Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, these two had families in Spirit City. If they could bring promising younger members into the space, it might help their families stand out among the new generation in the Spirit Hall.
"Alright, that's all. Return to your posts," Bibi Dong dismissed the others, leaving only Tang San behind to ask about another matter, "That Xiao Wu, she's a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form, isn't she?"
"Yes."
