A change of perspective
After hearing Qian Ye's words, the Old White Bird had no way to refute them, after all, the Clear Sky Sect was indeed unethical.
The Spirit Hall's suppression of the Speed Clan is also related to the Clear Sky Sect.
Qian Ye smiled and said, "Another point is that you only see the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall's strengths, but you haven't seen its advantages."
"Take the Soul Master subsidy for example. Although the money comes from the two great empires and the Spirit Hall is just distributing it on their behalf, would the two great empires have been willing to pay if the Spirit Hall hadn't been pressuring them?"
"Another point is that the Spirit Hall does a very fair job, especially in distributing subsidies to Soul Master. They don't consider status or background; whether you're born into a wealthy or commoner family, as long as you break through level ten, you can receive it."
Tang San started out as a commoner and received Soul Master subsidy as soon as he entered the academy.
Although Dai Mubai is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire and is over level 30, he can receive 100 Gold Soul Coin every month. With this money, he can live a life of debauchery and extravagance in Suotuo City every day.
Carefree and happy.
After all, the royal family stopped providing him with living expenses after he escaped.
Without this money, he wouldn't be living such a carefree and comfortable life.
"And then there's Martial Soul Awakening. In the Douluo Continent, from large cities to small rural villages, every six-year-old child, regardless of their wealth or poverty, receives a free Martial Soul Awakening ceremony from the Spirit Hall, with Soul Master and Deacons sent to villages every year. The Soul Power test is also free."
"Although the Spirit Hall has its own agenda, it's doing a good deed. At least it gives the children hope. Whether they succeed or not, awakening their Martial Soul will help every child. If they're lucky, they'll have Soul Power and can go to the Soul Master Academy."
"Those without Soul Power can release their Martial Soul, indulging in self-admiration and pride. They can also release their Martial Soul, and their strength will increase significantly, which is very helpful for planting crops and doing other work."
"If the Spirit Hall hadn't helped those commoners and rural children awaken their spirits for free, they would never have known what kind of Martial Soul they had, nor would they have been able to release their Martial Soul to appreciate them. There would have been no one to help them awaken their spirits for free. Even if some children awakened their Martial Soul and had Soul Power, they would have unknowingly lost the opportunity to become Soul Master because they hadn't awakened their spirits."
Therefore, sometimes when we look at a problem, we can't just see our immediate gains and losses, but also the advantages and disadvantages of the whole situation.
"You only see the bad things about the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall, so you hate it and treat it as an enemy, a mortal enemy, a fight to the death. But you haven't seen the good things the Spirit Hall does. At least no matter how bad the Spirit Hall is, it still contributes to society every day."
Hearing this, Bai He fell into deep thought. He had initially thought the Spirit Hall was the worst force on the Douluo Continent, but now it seemed it had indeed made significant contributions to society.
"Then let's take a look at what the Clear Sky Sect did. What did they do? What did they do? It seems like they did nothing at all. It's really hard to say. Not only did they do nothing, they also caused you Four Single-Attribute Clans sects to suffer terribly. Am I right?"
"Therefore, the saying 'There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests' is not unfounded; it is a lesson learned from the blood of our ancestors."
Take the Tang Sect in Douluo II as an example. When Tang San was there, the sect was thriving. Later, Tang San Tang San to the Divine Realm, and because of his influence, the Tang Sect helped the two great empires defeat the Spirit Hall. The Tang Sect had great prestige in the two great empires, and all the major sects of the two empires flattered the Tang Sect and bought the Hidden Weapon produced by the Tang Sect.
At that time, the Tang Sect was considered the number one sect in the Douluo Continent, invincible and untouchable.
However, nothing lasts forever, and things always turn around when they reach their extreme.
Since another continent drifted in from the sea and collided with the Douluo Continent, a new civilization was born.
That's Soul Tool. The specialty of Soul Master on the Sun Moon Continent is making Soul Tool. They make all sorts of Soul Tool, in all shapes and sizes, which are easy to carry and use.
Moreover, they are not expensive to manufacture; they are common everyday Soul Tool that even ordinary Soul Master and commoners can afford.
Unlike Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, which require demanding and expensive materials, are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and have an exorbitant selling price.
Even the Old White Bird, with only one hundred Gold Soul Coin left, couldn't buy a single Godly Zhuge Crossbow.
Not to mention ordinary Soul Master, how many of them can afford it?
Only wealthy sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, whose wealth rivals that of a nation, can afford to equip themselves with such resources on a large scale.
However, Ning Fengzhi bought too much and felt extremely pained, so he bargained with Tang San.
Apart from the two great empires, some powerful nobles, major sects, family conglomerates, and powerful Soul Master who have purchasing power, most others simply cannot afford it.
Silent Sleeve Arrow, 500 Gold Soul Coin each, with poison.
Flying God Claw, each item costs several thousand to tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coin.
The Sand Shifting Arrow, at the Heaven Dou Auction House, has a starting price of one Gold Soul Coin.
The Godly Zhuge Crossbow, originally priced at around 300 Gold Soul Coin by Tang San.
In the original book, there is a little episode about the Godly Zhuge Crossbow. When Tang San went to the Defense Clan, he demonstrated the power of this Hidden Weapon to the Old White Bird and the Old Goat. The Old White Bird took a liking to it at first glance and wanted to buy it. After calculating the number of people in the Speed Clan, he finally decided to equip each person with one, which would amount to about two hundred.
Bai He: "Xiaosan, how much is this? I want two hundred of them."
Tang San: "Since you and Senior Tai Tan are good friends, I won't make any money off you. I'll give you a discounted price of 120 Gold Soul Coin!"
Bai He: "I have one hundred Gold Soul Coin here. I'll give you the remaining twenty after the Breaking Clan arrives."
Tang San said embarrassedly, "Two hundred rounds! That'll cost twenty-four thousand Gold Soul Coin."
The Old White Bird was dumbfounded. "..."
He mistakenly thought that 120 Gold Soul Coin could buy 200 Godly Zhuge Crossbow. However, he learned that Tang San said each crossbow cost 120 Gold Soul Coin, and that was a discounted price.
I almost made him faint from anger.
Even Bai Chenxiang, who was standing to the side, was furious.
The main problem is that they don't know these things.
This is the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, a price that is far too high.
That's why later on, no one bought Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, but instead chose Soul Tool produced on the Sun Moon Continent.
And the Tang Sect fell into decline from that point on.
By the time of Tang Ya's parents, the Tang Sect no longer had the ability to protect itself and was eventually wiped out by the Iron Blood Sect.
The Tang Sect no longer exists, and even their residence has been occupied by the Iron Blood Sect. Only Tang Ya remains, abandoned by everyone and pushed aside by all. With nowhere else to turn, she begs for help from relatives and friends to no avail. In despair, she finally goes to the Shrek Academy to study.
The fact that the Speed Clan was always supported by Yang Wudi Old Goat of the Breaking Clan, shows that the two had a good relationship and that the elder was willing to lend them money. Otherwise, the entire clan of more than two hundred people would probably have run out of food.
After all, in the original book, Bai He could only afford one hundred Gold Soul Coin to buy Tang San's Hidden Weapon. He had to wait for his friend Yang Wudi to lend him the remaining twenty Gold Soul Coin, which means that the Speed Clan only had one hundred Gold Soul Coin in liquid funds.
