Recruitment with Exceptionally Generous Terms
Tao Muzhi looked at Bai Yushan, his eyes overflowing with admiration.
At such a young age, his strength is terrifying. What's even more remarkable is that his combat awareness and talent are nothing short of monstrous. If such a talent is properly nurtured, he will definitely become a giant in the future.
If we can bring him into the Spirit Pagoda, the East Sea branch's performance will skyrocket.
Tao Muzhi was making plans in his mind, and his smile became even more enthusiastic.
"Bai Yushan, don't be so formal," he said with a smile. "I saw your performance on the Spirit Ascension Platform. It was excellent, truly outstanding. A genius like you deserves a better platform and resources."
Bai Yushan raised an eyebrow.
"So?"
Tao Muzhi didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Bai Yushan, have you ever considered joining our Spirit Pagoda?"
After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Bai Yushan's expression, afraid of missing any reaction.
Bai Yushan blinked.
Join the Spirit Pagoda?
He hadn't really thought about that.
The Spirit Pagoda holds a high position and possesses abundant resources in this world. However, Bai Yushan has no interest in joining any organization. He only wants to cultivate diligently, become stronger, and then challenge even greater opponents.
As for what benefits he could gain from joining the Spirit Pagoda, he really had no idea.
Tao Muzhi was overjoyed to see that Bai Yushan did not immediately refuse.
There's hope.
He quickly added.
"Don't rush to refuse, Bai Yushan. Why don't we move to the lounge and sit down to talk? I believe we will show you our utmost sincerity."
His tone was sincere, and his attitude was very humble.
It's unbelievable that a branch tower master would be so polite to a nine-year-old child.
But Tao Muzhi didn't care.
As long as I can get Bai Yushan into the Spirit Pagoda, I'll be willing to be polite, even call him "brother."
Bai Yushan thought about it and didn't refuse.
Anyway, there's no rush to go back and review things. It won't hurt to hear what the other party has to say. If the conditions are really good, joining the Spirit Pagoda isn't out of the question.
"Okay."
Bai Yushan nodded.
Tao Muzhi was overjoyed and quickly stepped aside to make a gesture of invitation.
"This way, please."
Gu Yue stood to the side, watching the whole scene without saying a word.
She had originally intended to leave immediately, but then she changed her mind and stayed.
She was already interested in the Spirit Pagoda, and now that she had the chance to meet with Spirit Pagoda higher-ups, it would be good to hear what they had to say. Besides, Bai Yushan didn't seem very bright; what if he got sold out and still helped count the money?
Gu Yue found an excuse and followed along with a clear conscience.
Tao Muzhi glanced at Gu Yue but said nothing.
He's just a level 19, One-Ring Soul Master; he's not worth his attention. As long as he can take down Bai Yushan, one more or one less doesn't matter.
The group arrived at the VIP lounge of the Spirit Pagoda.
The lounge was large and luxuriously decorated. It featured leather sofas, crystal chandeliers, and paintings by unknown artists hanging on the walls, with several rare green plants in the corner.
Tao Muzhi personally led Bai Yushan to sit down and then had tea and snacks served.
"Bai Yushan, have a taste. This is top-quality Yunwu tea."
Tao Muzhi greeted them warmly.
Bai Yushan picked up his teacup and took a sip.
The taste is alright, a bit sweet.
He put down his teacup and spoke directly.
"Lord Tao, please speak frankly. What will I gain by joining the Spirit Pagoda?"
He doesn't like beating around the bush; it's best to say things directly and clearly.
Tao Muzhi paused for a moment, then smiled.
That kid's got a straightforward personality.
That's fine, saves us from wasting time.
Tao Muzhi sat up straight, his smile fading and his expression becoming serious.
"Bai Yushan, since you're being so direct, I won't beat around the bush either."
"If you are willing to join the Spirit Pagoda and become our core disciple, I can promise you the following."
"First, regarding resources. Soul Ring, Soul Bone, cultivation resources—whatever you need, the Spirit Pagoda will prioritize supplying them. You can choose any Thousand-Year Soul Spirit you like, and even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Spirit within the Spirit Pagoda are available for you to absorb, as long as your strength is sufficient."
"Secondly, regarding guidance. The Spirit Pagoda has top-tier Soul Master mentors, and the cultivation methods for various Martial Soul are recorded. Your Martial Soul is rather unique, so we can organize a dedicated research team to help you optimize your cultivation method and avoid unnecessary detours."
"Thirdly, regarding licensing rights. After joining the Spirit Pagoda, you can use all the beginner and Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform for free, without limit on the number of times. All data from the Spirit Ascension Platform will be accessible to you, allowing you to review your battle records and conduct post-battle analysis at any time."
"Fourth, in terms of status. As a core disciple, you enjoy considerable authority within the Spirit Pagoda. Ordinary Spirit Pagoda staff must obey your commands. When you're out and about, your status within the Spirit Pagoda will also provide you with many advantages."
Tao Muzhi rattled off a long list, each point brimming with allure.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Bai Yushan with a confident smile on his face.
He refused to believe that a nine-year-old child could remain unmoved by such generous offers.
Let alone a child, even Soul Master at the Soul Elder Soul Ancestor level would be tempted by these conditions.
However, after listening, Bai Yushan simply gave a faint "oh".
That's all?
Tao Muzhi's smile froze.
That's all?
Is that not enough?
This kid has quite the appetite.
Tao Muzhi muttered to himself, but his face remained expressionless. "Bai Yushan, is there anything you're dissatisfied with regarding these conditions? Please feel free to mention any requests you may have, and we can discuss them further."
Bai Yushan thought for a moment and then asked.
"What do I need to do after joining the Spirit Pagoda?"
Tao Muzhi quickly replied.
"You don't need to do anything. Just focus on your cultivation. The Spirit Pagoda will provide you with all the support you need. You just need to contribute to the Spirit Pagoda when needed. Of course, these are all things within your ability; you won't be asked to do any dangerous missions."
He spoke very well.
To put it simply, it's about investment.
We're giving Bai Yushan resources now, so he can repay the Spirit Pagoda when he grows up.
Bai Yushan asked again.
"Am I free to move around? I'm currently studying at the Eastsea Academy, will that cause any problems?"
"Absolutely not," Tao Muzhi said immediately. "You can continue your studies at the Eastsea Academy; we won't interfere with your normal life. The status of a core disciple of the Spirit Pagoda is more of an honor and a token of resources. You can come to the Spirit Pagoda to cultivate if you want, or you can stay home if you don't. It's all up to you."
"We can even send someone to the Eastsea Academy to give you lessons and guide your cultivation."
