"Eleven thousand seven hundred years?"
Yu Tu was stunned when he heard this number. For a human who would die in a mere century, a lifespan of ten thousand years was an unattainable dream.
“That’s right, that’s the exact number!” Dian Ling nodded.
"Wow, does that mean I'm immortal?" Yu Tu was still immersed in her huge surprise. She said happily, "If that's the case, and I date once every ten years, wouldn't I have the youth of more than a thousand handsome guys over ten thousand years!"
Temple Spirit: "..."
This calculation method truly astonished Dian Ling. You're a womanizer! You've got the youthful years of a thousand young men to spare, can't you have some lofty aspirations?!
Jiang Yuan was inexplicably displeased upon hearing this, and then said indifferently, "A thousand more? They might just get snatched up and eaten by some strange beast as soon as we step outside!"
"Little Jiangjiang, are you jealous?" Yu Tu had a smug smile on his lips, as if to say, "I can live for ten thousand years, I can live for ten thousand years!"
“Well, actually I suggest that you don’t believe in this illusory lifespan! From my observation, most of the beings who obtain lifespan from the Life Fire Tower have not escaped natural disasters or man-made calamities. Not only that, because of the abundance of lifespan, many beings have no sense of urgency. In the end, although they do not perish from birth, old age, sickness and death, other ways of dying are also emerging one after another, which are equally tragic!” the temple spirit said solemnly.
"A thousand-year-old tortoise and a ten-thousand-year-old turtle, from now on, An Xiaoyu, don't call yourself 'Desire Rabbit,' it would be more appropriate to change your name to 'Desire Turtle'! But I wonder if the Zodiac Team can accommodate a turtle!" Jiang Yuan teased with a wicked sense of humor.
Yu Tu rolled her eyes and snapped, "Get lost! Is there nothing else you do besides insult me?!"
After pondering for a moment, the spirit of the palace said, "Actually, you have a second option: exchange your lifespan for treasure!"
"The Tower of Lifefire has existed for an extremely long time, and it has collected all sorts of things. You can exchange your lifespan for treasures to enhance your strength!"
The spirit then said, "Considering we're friends, I can give you a heads-up: once the Lifefire Tower disappears, your lifespans may be reduced by more than half!"
"This Fire Tower has existed for thousands of years, it shouldn't disappear, right?" Yu Tu said uncertainly.
Jiang Yuan frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's save a few hundred years of lifespan, and then choose the second option if we have more!"
"Why?" Yu Tu asked hesitantly.
"Listen to me, you won't go wrong!" Jiang Yuan wanted to explain, but with the spirit of the palace here, and considering the spirit's loyalty to the Lord of Soldiers, he didn't intend to tell the spirit about knowing the Five Elements Rebirth Method.
“But…” Yu Tu bit her lip. Shouyuan was not someone she could give up so easily; it concerned her entire life.
“What Jiang Yuan said is indeed the best choice!” Dian Ling also agreed with Jiang Yuan’s approach.
"Show her the treasures you can exchange for. I have things to do after you've seen them!" Jiang Yuan said calmly, revealing no trace of his true thoughts.
The appearance of the Temple Spirit here was unexpected, but even the Temple Spirit could not stop him from unleashing the Flame of Life, which was his goal for this trip.
Only by understanding the true purpose of the Five Elements Rebirth Method can he confidently complete the Water Element Trial.
"Fine, I've shown you. Whether you want to change it or not is up to you!"
After saying that, the spirit waved his hand, and a burst of flames transformed into various items in the air, ninety percent of which were special rule powers.
"This skill is worth three years of your lifespan!"
With a flick of his wrist, the spirit of the palace sent a bead formed of flame flying towards Jiang Yuan. Jiang Yuan quickly caught the skill orb, and with his Heavenly Eye, he was able to grasp all the information related to the skill.
"Sixth-tier Frost Arrow, Quality: Good, Psionic Energy: 1 to 300."
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully, "Is this even worth three years of lifespan?"
"Don't underestimate it. You don't value it now because your cultivation level is high. If this item were in the hands of a lower-level Spirit Awakener, it would definitely shine brightly," the spirit of the palace said, waving his hand.
“That’s right!” Jiang Yuan smiled. It was just like that when Ning Yanlan learned the Falling Snow Veil. The level wasn’t high, but the two of them were very satisfied.
"If you want something good, look at this!" The spirit of the palace flicked another wisp of flame. "This is worth two thousand five hundred years of lifespan, absolutely worth more than its price!"
Jiang Yuan stared intently, and the things within the flames came into full view.
"Three Treasures True Dew, Rank: None, Quality: Perfect, Effect: Instantly increases spiritual energy and soul energy by 1,000 points upon consumption and allows one to glimpse a trace of spiritual power."
"How about it, not bad, right!" the spirit said smugly.
"I have a question. According to our current battlefield division, above the ninth rank is the super ninth rank. So what is the relationship between the super ninth rank and the Spirit Realm?" Jiang Yuan couldn't help but ask after seeing that the Three Treasures True Dew could have the effect of glimpsing the power of the Spirit Realm.
He wanted an answer to this question, but no one could give him one!
"This problem is worth a hundred years of lifespan. How about it, do you want to pay for a consultation?" Dian Ling put on a cunning and shrewd demeanor.
"Never mind, forget I asked!"
Jiang Yuan shut up immediately. This ridiculous question required a hundred years of lifespan; was he stupid to ask such a question?
"Hey, don't be so stingy! Your little celestial body has so much lifespan that it's a waste if you don't use it, why not waste it on me!" the Palace Spirit muttered.
"That's her lifespan, it has nothing to do with me!" Jiang Yuan knew what the spirit of the palace was planning. From its attitude, he could tell that the lifespan was definitely not insignificant, so it had to be used in a crucial way.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tu became sullen. She stomped her foot angrily and said, "Palace Spirit, I'm willing to spend a hundred years of my lifespan!"
"I love your straightforwardness!" Dian Ling laughed slyly.
"There's no need to ask this question. You'll understand when you reach a certain level!" Jiang Yuan said, frowning.
"This is my problem, it has nothing to do with you!" Yu Tu retorted with the same words, his face cold.
"Hey, you..." Jiang Yuan was speechless after being rebuked.
Seeing this, the spirit of the palace slowly explained, "Do you know why this Three Treasures Dew only adds a thousand points of energy? Actually, a thousand points of energy is already enough to step into the Spirit Realm!"
"Then why are there so many Super Ninth Rank cultivators? Don't they even step into the Spirit Realm with thousands of points of energy?" Yu Tu asked, voicing the question that had been nagging at her.
"It's not that we don't want to enter, but that we can't sense the spiritual realm and can't break through its barrier!" The spirit of the palace could only shake its head at the naivety of the rabbit.
Jiang Yuan wasn't angry at being teased by Yu Tu. On the contrary, he knew that Yu Tu had asked the question for him, so he listened even more attentively.
"Many of the opponents you are facing now are above the ninth rank, but that is only a facade. The true spiritual barrier will sever the upper limit of energy like an insurmountable chasm!"
"What does 'spiritual barrier' mean?" Yu Tu pressed.
"The Spirit Realm Barrier is like the upper limit of a person's potential. Only by touching the Spirit Realm Barrier can one perceive the Spirit Realm and step into it. From then on, one's energy carries spirit, making one extraordinary!" The Palace Spirit's attitude towards the Spirit Realm can only be described as one of utmost admiration. Before reaching the Spirit Realm, everyone is considered useless.
"Is there a specific number for the barrier to that spiritual realm?" Yu Tu asked a very stupid question.
"If you're asking, there really is!"
