He was taking a cut whenever anyone used these technologies, and that cut was completely imperceptible on the ordinary physical level.

Compared with the normal method of gathering believers to obtain faith, his approach was like the Goose Factory and the Pig Farm.
Traditional methods of gathering faith were the Pig Farm approach, centered on making one person spend sixty thousand yuan—a way of forcibly squeezing money out of players. Whether they paid or not, and no matter how much each person spent, the players were always treated like dirt.
He took the Goose Factory approach instead, choosing to have ten thousand people each spend six yuan on him. He cast a wide net and hauled in as many fish as possible to reap the returns.
Then, through perks, he would convert those ten thousand people further, making them believe that the more they spent, the more they would receive. The goal was to raise each person's spending from six yuan to sixty, six hundred, or even six thousand and sixty thousand.
Then, if he could indirectly take a cut of faith by promoting his technologies, could Spirit Rings also be a special means of taking a cut?
Some of the power of naturally dissipating Spirit Rings would be siphoned away. Then, when a Spirit Master died, did the power of their dissipating Spirit Rings truly return to nature, or was it siphoned away as well?
Or rather, after Spirit Masters died, would a certain proportion of the energy they had accumulated in their bodies through cultivation be siphoned away through this backdoor in their Spirit Rings?
Just thinking about it gave Chen Ming a headache. Such methods belonged to the
