Driven by Profit, Soul Masters Defected in Droves
At this moment, Qin Yun is forging his Soul Bone within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
His technique is now quite skilled.
Material selection, shaping, quenching, and texturing—each step of the process flows smoothly and effortlessly.
In a short while, more than a dozen pieces were forged and neatly stacked on the table, their Soul Power shimmering.
These Soul Bone, without the addition of ferrous cores or lanthanum, barely reach the level of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone.
Qin Yun didn't think much of it.
The Soul Bone he used were all at least 100,000 years old, so these 10,000-year-old items were no different from half-finished products in his eyes.
However, for ordinary Soul Master, Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone is still extremely precious.
At the same time, he left something hidden in the core of these Soul Bone when he forged them.
At the center of each Soul Bone is sealed a barely perceptible wisp of heavy metal catalyst, which is harmless under normal circumstances.
But what if these people later rebel and try to use his things against him?
He only needs to use the periodic table of Martial Soul Periodic Table of Elements to slightly stimulate it, and the trigger will explode.
He wouldn't mind testing what it would feel like to have Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone explode inside someone's body.
One should always be wary of others.
After the news spread, many Soul Master flocked to Seven Treasure Mountain Heaven Dou City.
By this time, a large crowd had already gathered at the foot of the mountain.
Some were serious about joining, while others were just there for the fun of it.
The crowd was so dense that it blocked the road up the mountain, stretching from the foot of the mountain all the way to the main road.
There were independent cultivators who came in groups, small family Soul Master with their families, and even a few people who looked like sect disciples, standing on the periphery looking around, not daring to come closer.
"Does joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect really grant you a Soul Bone immediately?" someone in the crowd shouted.
"Yeah, it can't be a scam, can it?"
"If they really give it to me, I'd sell my life to them!"
A buzz of discussion arose.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi came out and stood on the stone platform in front of the mountain gate.
He was dressed in a brocade robe, with Sword Douluo following behind him.
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down.
"Of course!" Ning Fengzhi said loudly.
"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School has been established for many years, and we have never taken back what we said."
Then he waved his hand.
Disciples had already brought out a long table, on which a faint red light shone. Thirty Soul Bone were lined up in a row, each radiating the unique Soul Power fluctuations of Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, shimmering in the sunlight.
These people's eyes widened immediately.
The buzzing discussion instantly turned into gasps of shock.
Thirty Soul Bone were displayed so openly at the mountain gate, which was more convincing than any guarantee.
A lean man immediately squeezed out from the crowd and rushed to the stone platform.
"I join! My Martial Soul Shadow Wolf, and my Soul Power is level 57!"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at him, nodded, and smiled, "Welcome!"
Pick one!
The lean man, his hands trembling, stared at the table for a long time before picking out a piece of arm bone. He held it in his hands, turning it over and over in his eyes, his eyes reddening.
"I'll join too!"
"Me too! I'm level 52!"
The crowd surged forward in a flash, and the disciple in charge of registration quickly brought out tables and chairs, recording each entry meticulously.
Some people's hands were shaking halfway through the registration process.
I asked three times, "If I sign it, will you really give it to me?"
At this moment, many people in Spirit City also received this news.
Many Soul Master were tempted.
The allure of Soul Bone is something that most Soul Master simply cannot resist.
In battles fought by the Spirit Hall, the lower-level Soul Master suffer the most casualties; the credit goes to the elders, but their lives are their own.
Now that the neighboring city has offered a price, the Fifth Ring Road will give you Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone. No matter how you look at it, this deal is worthwhile.
There were also many Soul Master sent to ambush the Heaven Dou army, and quite a few of them wanted to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Zhao Zhuo is one of them; his Martial Soul is Fire Lizard, and he is level 69.
Originally an elder of a branch hall, he was assigned to the harassment team after the war with the Heaven Dou Empire began.
He is thirty-nine years old this year, with a cultivation level of six rings. He has been working in the Spirit Hall for fifteen years and has made some contributions.
However, whenever the Spirit Hall allocates resources, the direct descendants of the main hall elders always get to choose first.
When it comes to those without connections, they can't even get a hot bowl of soup.
He learned about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from one of his teammates.
"Brother Zhao, have you heard? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is offering Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone for those at the fifth ring level."
Zhao Zhuo was eating dry rations at the time. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Really?"
"Real."
Ning Fengzhi set up thirty Soul Bone at the mountain gate, recruiting thirty people every day.
Zhao Zhuo didn't sleep all night.
The next day, while on a mission, he saw a patrol team of taxi drivers.
"Brother Zhao, are we going to make a move or not?"
Zhao Zhuo said expressionlessly, "Withdraw. I don't want to go back to the Spirit Hall."
"I want to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Now it's very difficult for me to break through on my own, and I don't have a single Soul Bone left."
"If I can break through to level 70 with this, then I..."
"You can all leave now."
The team members looked at each other in bewilderment.
After a long silence, a young Soul Master named Xiao Liu spoke.
"Brother Zhao, I'll go with you too."
I'll go too.
Count me in.
Of the seven or eight people, five stood behind Zhao Zhuo.
The remaining three didn't move. The leader, with a pained expression, said, "Brother Zhao, I have elderly parents and young children at home, all in Spirit City. I dare not..."
"No pressure," Zhao Zhuo waved his hand.
"Pretend we never met today."
The five of them headed towards Heaven Dou City and plunged into the forest.

Faced with the defection of a large number of Soul Master from the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's expression turned extremely ugly.
She really didn't know what to do about this.
Because she also knew the allure of Soul Bone to Soul Master.
What price didn't she pay to improve her skills back then?
Things that ordinary Soul Master might never even see in their entire lives are now being sent out in batches; who can stop them?
The elder standing behind her hesitated for a long time before cautiously speaking, "Your Majesty..."
"Explain."
"We also have some Soul Bone stored in our storeroom, should we... take them out and distribute them as rewards?"
"Perhaps we can still win people's hearts back."
Bibi Dong gave a cold laugh.
How many Soul Bone do we have? Can we compare to them?
"They keep putting away people's Soul Bone, thirty yuan a batch, one batch after another."
"Then... how did the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect obtain so many Soul Bone?"
"Soul Bone aren't like cabbages; even if Soul Master on the entire continent were to gather together, they couldn't collect that many."
This is also something Bibi Dong couldn't understand.
With so many Soul Bone, it's clear they couldn't have been obtained by hunting Soul Beast.
Based on the strange things Qin Yun had created before, she guessed that these Soul Bone were likely synthesized by Qin Yun using a special method.
"You can go now!"
The elder bowed and withdrew from the main hall.
Bibi Dong sat alone for a long time, but finally had no choice but to issue an order:
Spirit City is temporarily closed; all four gates are locked, and entry is permitted, but exit is not.
You can seal the city gates, but you can't seal the hearts of the people!
