The Soul Spirit Proposal Sparks Controversy; Dugu Bo Seeks a Soul Spirit for His Granddaughter

Seeing the tense expressions of everyone in the hall, Qian Daoliu knew that "joint pricing" alone would not dispel all their concerns. He decided to lay out the entire plan for obtaining soul spirits, his steady voice carrying an unmistakable sincerity:

"Besides public sales, the second method is 'resource exchange.' Spirit Hall needs all kinds of rare resources to advance soul tool research and development-special metals, rare ores, high-grade herbs, and so on. These resources can all be assessed by value and exchanged for soul spirits of corresponding ages. The specific exchange rates will be jointly determined by Spirit Hall and the major factions to ensure fairness."

Qian Daoliu paused, his gaze sweeping over the young soul masters present before he turned to the third method:

"As for the third, it is designed specifically for commoner soul masters with neither backing nor resources. As long as they are willing to join Spirit Hall and become its soul masters, we will provide their first soul spirit free of charge, helping them formally embark on the path of cultivation. Subsequent soul spirits must be earned through their own merits, such as completing missions issued by Spirit Hall, including 'Protect the Commoners' and 'Eliminate Fallen Soul Masters.' Nor will Spirit Hall force anyone to stay. If they wish to leave in the future, they need only report it to their superiors in advance and pay the price of the soul spirit Spirit Hall provided for free. Once the paperwork is completed, they may leave freely. Their personal freedom will never be restricted."

"This is plainly a disguised attempt to recruit every genius on the continent!"
