Joining Spirit Hall was a decision Gu Ziyi had made after careful consideration.

There was still a long time before Tang San's transmigration, and before Tang San destroyed Spirit Hall! So Gu Ziyi wasn't afraid of clashing with Tang San's protagonist group because of this.

Besides, because of his interference, it was hard to say whether Tang San's protagonist group would even appear.

Perhaps when Dai Mubai, Ning Rongrong, and the others were born in the future, they might even be a different gender? The future was too far away. Gu Ziyi only needed to take care of what was in front of him.

Half a month later, Gu Ziyi arrived before a Spirit Hall Sub-Hall in the Heaven Dou Imperial Capital district.

Looking at the Angel God statue atop the Sub-Hall building, Gu Ziyi examined it closely for a moment. This Angel God statue hadn't been made according to the Angel God's actual appearance—he had seen what the Angel God looked like in the anime.

But Gu Ziyi did not care. He then walked inside.

"Hello, may I ask what business you have here?"

A Sub-Hall staff member soon approached and asked Gu Ziyi why he had come.

In his eyes, though, Gu Ziyi was either here to collect a novice Soul Master allowance or to undergo Soul Master certification.

"Hello, I would like to join Spirit Hall and become an officially registered Soul Master of Spirit Hall!"

Gu Ziyi looked at him and stated his purpose directly.

"You wish to join our Spirit Hall?"

"Of course. Please follow me!"

Upon hearing that Gu Ziyi had come to join Spirit Hall, the staff member's tone immediately became much friendlier.

He then led the way ahead, bringing Gu Ziyi inside.

"Senior Hall Master Aiers, he has come to apply to join our Spirit Hall!"

After entering, Gu Ziyi followed the man and soon arrived before a white-haired old man.

Judging from his attire, he was a Senior Hall Master and likely the person in charge of this Sub-Hall.

"Applying to join Spirit Hall?"

When Aiers, the person in charge of the Sub-Hall, saw Gu Ziyi brought in by his subordinate, a friendly smile appeared on his face as well. "I am very pleased that you recognize Spirit Hall. I am Aiers, the person in charge here!"

"Hello. May I undergo the assessment now?"

Gu Ziyi greeted him politely, then asked directly.

Other than those whom Spirit Hall proactively invited to join, anyone else applying to join Spirit Hall had to undergo an assessment.

The assessment determined whether they were qualified to join Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall did not accept just anyone.

"Of course. Have you registered with Spirit Hall before?"

Aiers stroked his beard and smiled at the question.

He asked because many Soul Masters had never registered with Spirit Hall. Those unwilling to register were generally Soul Masters trained by sects, factions, or the empire.

"Yes, here is my badge!"

Gu Ziyi immediately took out his badge.

Aiers accepted Gu Ziyi's badge and began examining it.

Though it was only a badge, it recorded all of Gu Ziyi's information, including whether Gu Ziyi had collected his allowance that month. Spirit Hall could use special methods to read and update the information on it.

"Innate Soul Power Level 1..."

"Auxiliary-type Martial Soul Talisman, mutated from a Paper Martial Soul..."

"Turning thirteen in two months, Soul Power Level 14, First Soul Ring is a White Soul Ring, and the soul skill is the Purifying Heart Mantra Talisman..."

Using the information on the badge, Aiers quickly grasped Gu Ziyi's circumstances.

At first, he was deeply disappointed by Gu Ziyi's aptitude. After all, with only Innate Soul Power Level 1, it was hard to say whether he could even become a Soul Elder in the future.

"Innate Soul Power Level 1, not yet thirteen, and you have already reached Level 14!"

"Moreover, your Martial Soul is an auxiliary-type Martial Soul. That is quite remarkable!"

"Your First Soul Skill is also rather special!"

"Congratulations, Gu Ziyi. Given your circumstances, you may officially register as a Soul Master of our Spirit Hall!"

But after learning all of Gu Ziyi's information, he changed his mind.

Gu Ziyi's cultivation speed, along with his one-of-a-kind Martial Soul and soul skill, were enough to qualify him to join Spirit Hall.

"Lord Aiers, aside from the information recorded above, my First Soul Skill has other effects."

Gu Ziyi was not surprised by Aiers's words.

He simply did not want to enter Spirit Hall as an ordinary talent, so Gu Ziyi prepared to reveal the special nature of his First Soul Skill.

If he wanted to receive Spirit Hall's cultivation, he had to let them see his value.

Gu Ziyi believed that if Spirit Hall learned of the hidden cultivation-accelerating effect of his First Soul Skill, they would surely maximize the value of that soul skill.

How would they maximize it?

Naturally, by giving it to those who needed it most! With Gu Ziyi's current Soul Power Level, the Purifying Heart Mantra Talismans he summoned had little effect on high-level Soul Masters, but worked best on low-level Soul Masters.

At this moment, Spirit Hall happened to have someone whose Soul Power Level was close to Gu Ziyi's, someone Spirit Hall was doing everything it could to nurture.

Bibi Dong.

That's right, Bibi Dong!

There was no doubt that Pope Qian Xunji was doing everything he could to cultivate Bibi Dong.

So long as she had the help of his soul skill, Bibi Dong's cultivation speed would become even faster.

This time, Gu Ziyi intended to hitch himself to Bibi Dong and benefit alongside her.

Even for Bibi Dong's sake, Spirit Hall presumably would not mind nurturing him as well. The stronger he became, the more effectively he could support Bibi Dong.

Of course, Gu Ziyi was only planning to attach himself to Bibi Dong this time. He had no intention of courting her.

Not only was Bibi Dong still far too young, but even if she were of suitable age, Gu Ziyi would not dare act rashly.

After what happened with Tang Yuehua, Gu Ziyi had learned his lesson. He now knew that living off a woman was not so easy.

Gu Ziyi had originally planned to head directly to Spirit City and join there.

However, it was quite far away, and the route from the Heaven Dou Imperial Capital to Spirit City was not particularly safe. That was why Gu Ziyi had chosen to register here first.

Gu Ziyi had also carefully selected this Spirit Hall Sub-Hall. Its person in charge, Aiers, had always enjoyed a very good reputation here.

"Oh? Does your First Soul Skill have some other special effect?"

Hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Aiers immediately asked curiously.

"Yes. Besides the effects listed above, my First Soul Skill can also assist soul masters in cultivation and increase their cultivation speed!"

Gu Ziyi nodded, then directly revealed the hidden effect of his First Soul Skill.

"What?"

"Your soul skill can help soul masters cultivate? It can increase their cultivation speed?"

After hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Aiers cried out in shock.

He was genuinely stunned. Spirit Hall's records had never contained such a soul skill effect before!...
