Other forces, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire, were the same.
They either went directly to Spirit Hall, or waited at home, wanting to see the veracity of the mix.
For a time, the Douluo Continent was in an uproar.
Xiao Ze, however, was relatively relaxed.
After condensing his life Spirit core, Xiao Ze had reached level seventy, and only needed one more spirit ring to become a Spirit Saint.
This spirit ring was, of course, Xiao Wu's spirit ring.
However, Xiao Ze's physique was not yet strong enough to absorb Xiao Wu's spirit ring, so he needed to use some small tricks.
As for wanting to fully absorb Xiao Wu's spirit ring on his own, that would be at least when he reached level eighty.
Once the matter of the Spirit core was largely handled, he would need to take Xiao Wu to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Three ten thousand yearspirit rings and Spirit Bones at once—that was too good to be true.
"Hmm…" Xiao Ze instantly felt his Spirit refreshed, then he was stunned: "That fast?"
The God of Agriculture laughed: "It seems Spirit Hall's reputation on the Douluo Continent is quite good, to have merely sent out a book and have so many people believe it, even gaining faith."
"I didn't expect that either. Although Spirit Hall has many people in the upper echelons who are merely filling positions, I have to say the people below are still very good."
It was already very good that Spirit Hall could awaken Spirits for everyone and even specifically go to villages to do so.
Regardless of whether Spirit Hall was trying to win people's hearts, actions speak louder than intentions.
If you asked the nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire to go, would they?
Obviously not.
Plus, after becoming a Spirit Master, they could also receive money from Spirit Hall, which helped alleviate the pressure of Spirit Masters' survival.
Although the money was given by the two Empires, without Spirit Hall pressing down on them, would they give it?
They would probably rather take this money and enjoy themselves than give it to others.
Taking money from nobles was as good as killing them.
Just like in the Douluo II era, there were still people who hadn't awakened their Spirits, which is simply incomprehensible now.
Even the main supporting characters could go sell their bodies, which is simply outrageous.
If it were now, many people would probably invest.
Aside from technology, in society, Xiao Ze always felt that these ten thousand years had been a regression.
However, this had little to do with him; the events in the original work were impossible to happen now.
Spirit Masters and ordinary people, though both called humans, were essentially two different species.
It was already very good that Spirit Masters could still treat ordinary people as humans.
After all, once a person possesses power that can crush others, the swelling in their heart will explode.
Several days passed.
Ning Fengzhi and the two Titled Douluo also arrived in Spirit City.
Looking at Spirit City, which was undergoing major infrastructure repairs, the three seemed somewhat dazed.
"Spirit City seems to be getting more and more different now. How long has it been since we last came?" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.
"Indeed, this must be Xiao Ze's doing. Bibi Dong isn't the type to get involved in these things," Sword DouluoChen Xin nodded.
"It seems that when Xiao Ze becomes the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Spirit Hall will be a behemoth pressing down on everyone."
"It pretty much is already," Bone Douluo said.
Chen Xin shook his head: "Not yet. The current Spirit Hall, like the two Empires and the Clear Sky Sect, they would still be dissatisfied. Such a Spirit Hall isn't strong enough!"
"Why say so much? Aren't we all in this together?" Ning Fengzhi laughed.
The two Titled Douluo also smiled.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had already joined Spirit Hall.
As for why Ning Fengzhi agreed, it was because he was smart enough.
With Xiao Ze, Spirit Hall had completely transformed; they even saw many spirit tools along the way.
"Hiss… you see these spirit tools look very new, completely different from before," Gu Rong said.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin stepped forward to observe a very high-tech street lamp.
"It's true, such a spirit tool, although still a street lamp, is unheard of and unseen."
"Are you gentlemen from out of town?" an ordinary man slowly walked over.
"Yes," Ning Fengzhi nodded.
"Are you very interested in this spirit tool?"
"We are indeed a bit interested. May I ask where it is made?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
"Of course, it's Spirit Hall! Throughout the world, only Spirit Hall can manufacture such perfect spirit tools. Spirit Hall now has a spirit tool department, and its manufacturing division is responsible for making spirit tools.
I heard… Spirit Hall even has offensive and defensive spirit tools," the man whispered.
Ning Fengzhi appeared calm on the surface, but a storm had already surged in his heart.
It seemed that what Rongrong had casually mentioned before was actually true; Xiao Ze really had the blueprints for spirit tools.
"How do you know?" Bone Douluo asked.
"Alas… although this is our guess, the probability is at least above seventy percent.
Near Spirit Hall, a new military training ground has been built, and every day you can hear crackling sounds nearby. These sounds don't seem like Spirit Abilities," the man waved his hand.
"We understand, thank you." Ning Fengzhi took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to the man before leaving.
The man was stunned, then opened it to look. Inside were dense, shimmering gold coins, estimated to be over a hundred.
"Holy cow! I met a God of Wealth today!"
The man immediately put away the gold coins and left as if nothing had happened, but the corners of his mouth kept turning up, unable to be suppressed.
He was just an ordinary person; being able to live in Spirit City was thanks to his ancestors' foresight.
However, the cost of living in Spirit City was quite high, so he had no savings at all.
Now, these hundred-plus gold coins were enough for him for ten years… "Fengzhi, do you believe Spirit Hall possesses offensive and defensive spirit tools?" Chen Xin asked.
Ning Fengzhi paused, then nodded: "I believe it. Rongrong mentioned it to me inadvertently, but I might not have paid attention at the time, but now that I think about it…
Rongrong probably wanted us to buy some spirit tools to take back.
If these spirit tools are truly effective, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's auxiliary Spirit Masters will also have combat power."
"So that's it. We'll just ask when the time comes."
"Indeed, Xiao Ze shouldn't refuse."
The three smoothly arrived at the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Today was Xiao Ze's workday, and Bibi Dong was nowhere to be found, which was really out of character.
"Oh, our Saint Son, His Highness, has already taken the Supreme Pontiff's seat," Ning Fengzhi said in a very exaggerated tone.
Xiao Ze had a tormented expression: "Father-in-law, please don't use that tone; it doesn't suit you, it's a bit disgusting."
He thought to himself that he must reform Spirit Hall; most of the responsibilities were placed on the Supreme Pontiff, who could endure that?
Might as well enter the Empire era sooner.
