[Congratulations on making a successful choice, Host. The 2,000-Year Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Card has been added to your personal inventory. You may view it in your personal attributes.]
[Host, yes—you can. Rewards obtained from system choices, such as Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Cards, Spirit Bone Age Enhancement Cards, or Spirit Power Enhancement Cards, may all be given to others.]
The system's response brought a smile to Yin Zhang's face.
At present, Yin Zhang possessed four spirit rings. The first two were purple, while the ages of the latter two had already been raised to ten thousand years (the fourth ring's age remained unchanged).
A two-thousand-year increase could be stored for later use.
For Yin Zhang himself, however, a 2,000-year Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Card was no longer as impactful as it had been early on.
But if it could be used on someone else…
For example, Qiangu Yunying.
All seven of Qiangu Yunying's spirit rings were already extremely close to the optimal age ratio.
First Spirit Ring: 430 years
Second Spirit Ring: 730 years
Third Spirit Ring: 1,800 years
Fourth Spirit Ring: 5,300 years
Fifth Spirit Ring: 12,000 years
Sixth Spirit Ring: 20,000 years
Seventh Spirit Ring: 50,000 years
To maximize the effect of the 2,000-year Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Card, the best option would be to add several hundred years to both her first and second rings, pushing each of them to the thousand-year threshold.
As for the remaining few hundred years, they wouldn't really matter.
Yin Zhang opened his attribute panel, focusing on the personal inventory section.

When Yin Zhang saw the Level One Spirit Power Boost Card, he froze.
Then it hit him—this was a reward he had received from a system prompt back when he was at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
He had completely forgotten about it until now.
Only then did Yin Zhang let out a long sigh.
Dao…
It's been ages since I last checked my status panel. This Spirit Power Boost Card has been sitting here the whole time, and I only noticed it now. Seriously…
But that's actually a good thing. Once I use this Level One Spirit Power Boost Card, my spirit power will reach level fifty. I'll finally be able to hunt a spirit beast and officially advance to Spirit King!
Without hesitation, Yin Zhang selected the Level One Spirit Power Boost Card and tapped "Use."
A smile spread across his face as his spirit power level on the panel rose to Level 50.
Perfect! Spirit Power Level 50. Once we reach the next city, I can start preparing to hunt a spirit beast and break through to Spirit King!
Yin Zhang felt a surge of excitement.
After finishing all this, he finally opened his eyes.
Only then did he notice that Qiangu Yunying was still sulking.
Yin Zhang had originally planned to explain things to her, but with the system prompt appearing earlier, he had ended up ignoring her completely.
In Qiangu Yunying's eyes, however, Yin Zhang had simply kept his eyes closed the entire time.
She was feeling upset—partly because Yin Zhang hadn't explained anything to her beforehand. He felt different from the Yin Zhang she remembered, and she couldn't help wondering whether there was some deeper reason… or perhaps something else entirely.
It had to be said—women were prone to overthinking, especially women in love. Sometimes, their minds worked faster than Einstein's.
Just as Qiangu Yunying was lost in her thoughts, Yin Zhang suddenly spoke.
"Sister Yunying, let's play a game."
Qiangu Yunying blinked, curious.
"A game?"
Seeing that there was still some spark in her eyes, Yin Zhang couldn't help but smile wryly.
He coughed lightly, then said,
"Sister Yunying, release your spirit rings first. I'll play a little game with you—one that can change the color of your spirit rings."
"You're not lying to me, are you?"
Qiangu Yunying looked at him suspiciously, but still obediently released her seven spirit rings.
Two yellow, two purple, and three black rings appeared at once.
In an instant, the interior of the carriage became "colorful"—though in reality, it was only shades of yellow, purple, and black.
"How could I lie to you, Sister Yunying?" Yin Zhang said with a grin.
"Watch carefully, and feel it closely. I promise it'll be a wonderful experience—one you'll never forget."
Yin Zhang chuckled softly.
Opening his attribute panel, he selected the 2,000-Year Spirit Ring Age Enhancement Card from his storage.
He chose to increase the age of Qiangu Yunying's first and second spirit rings by one thousand years each.
The moment he confirmed the selection, the carriage was instantly flooded with light.
A rainbow glow enveloped everything, lasting only a brief second before fading away.
Qiangu Yunying stared in disbelief as the deep yellow light of her first and second spirit rings gradually transformed into a pale purple.
"Th-this…"
Her eyes widened, pupils trembling as if she had just experienced an earthquake.
For a long moment, she was completely speechless.
Yin Zhang looked at her with a smile.
"Sister Yunying, what do you think? Was I right?"
Qiangu Yunying finally snapped out of it, her voice filled with shock.
"Xiao Zhang, how did you do that? The age of my first and second spirit rings increased by a full thousand years! Now all four of my lower spirit rings are thousand-year rings!"
Yin Zhang didn't answer her directly.
"Sister Yunying, did you enjoy the game?"
Her dazed expression made Yin Zhang smile even more. At times like this, Sister Yunying was truly adorable.
"Hmph! That definitely wasn't a game!" Qiangu Yunying turned her head away, pouting.
She didn't ask any further questions.
She understood Dao—this was clearly one of Yin Zhang's most important secrets. Since she understood, she naturally wouldn't pry.
She also believed that if there were any benefits to be gained in the future, Yin Zhang would never forget her—just as she would never forget him.
And then—
Before Yin Zhang and Qiangu Yunying, a massive forest came into view near a city known as Xuanwu City: the famous Spirit Beast Forest.
At the forest's edge, a massive tiger several meters tall gently set down a human child.
Even so, the child couldn't help coughing up blood.
