Xu Qingjia had a great deal of soul power that needed a soul spirit as an outlet.
Because of his martial soul's unusual nature, he had given his second soul spirit a great deal of thought.
At first, he had learned from his second uncle that the Spirit Pagoda had once pursued a research project on converting undead creatures into soul spirits. The project had been forced to collapse after its supply of undead ran out. For Xu Qingjia, however, with Elder Yi, the Holy Necromancer, at his side, getting another batch of undead would be simplicity itself.

Artificial soul spirits in this era were not yet as well-developed as they would be ten thousand years later. Of course, Gu Yue and Na'er were already god-level beings. Whether a soul spirit was ten thousand or a hundred thousand years old made little difference to them. They could even produce their own soul rings. You could hardly expect a soul spirit that had never so much as touched the threshold of godhood to provide any enhancement to the Silver Dragon King.
