Douluo: The Holy Spirit Master, Twelve Talismans Chaos the Continent

Chapter 32 The Foundation of Spirit Hall
……

After leaving the Tiandou Palace, Nan Feng and Yue Guan returned to the Wuhun Temple.

"I just made a small move, and Xue Ye offered five million gold soul coins..."

The more Nan Feng thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

It’s too easy!

This is five million gold soul coins!
Enough funds to build a small sect!

There are no more than five companies in the entire mainland that can come up with so much money at one time!

But, Xue Ye didn't even bargain!
Just give it to me directly!
"A slight move?" Yue Guan's eyes twitched slightly.

"You think this is a slight move?"

They have already threatened the survival of the Tiandou royal family, and this is still called a slight move?
Xue Ye’s five million is money to buy his life!

“But he took it out so easily, I always felt like I was getting something less,” Nan Feng said.

"But this is five million gold soul coins, isn't that enough?"

"Of course it's enough!" Yue Guan was speechless.

"Do you know how much tax the Tiandou Empire collects in a year?"

"How much?" Nan Feng asked puzzledly.

He really didn't pay attention to these.

"Less than ten million." Yue Guan said.

"Ten million?" Nan Feng frowned.

"So I only asked for about half a year's income from him?"

"I'm at a loss!"

Yue Guan covered his face, this kid really has no common sense at all!
“Listen carefully, ten million is a number on the books. It is the total amount reported by the several kingdoms and principalities under the Tiandou royal family. However, more than fifty percent of this ten million is needed to maintain the basic maintenance of the entire country. Another ten percent is used to subsidize low-level spirit masters and is handed over to the Spirit Hall, which is about one million every year. The remaining three million or so will eventually go into the national treasury.” Yue Guan explained.

"Then, these three million plus are not only used to support Xue Ye, but the entire Tiandou Imperial Family. Do you know how many people there are in the Tiandou Imperial Family? Do you know how much it costs to keep the Imperial Palace running normally for a day?"

"You robbed him of five million in one go. That's enough to make him suffer for years! I'm afraid the Tiandou royal family's budget will have to be drastically reduced in the future."

Nan Feng really has no concept of money at all!
He always talks about millions, but you have to know that as a Titled Douluo, his assets are less than one million!

Although soul masters have high incomes, their expenses are also high.

The only person in the entire continent who can talk about millions of people is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

As a soul master force that started out as a business, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has, over the past thousand years, relied on its powerful business capabilities to gather nearly half of the continent's wealth!

The phrase "rich enough to rival a country" is already derogatory when used to describe the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!
All the spirit masters in the entire continent, overtly or covertly, have varying degrees of interest involvement with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The fact that it can rank second among the top three sects with its auxiliary spirit is not only because of the two Titled Douluo, Chen Xin and Gu Rong, but more because of their terrifying network of interests!

This auxiliary sect never makes enemies with anyone and always stands in the middle, so no one regards them as enemies. At the Elder Hall meeting, regarding the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's part in the Spirit Hall's future plans, most elders are inclined to win it over. After all, the cost of winning over this sect is too great compared to destroying it!

Even if they relied on the powerful spirit masters of the Spirit Hall to directly attack the gate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the centipede would not die even if it was cut into pieces.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's greatest strength lies not in the front, but in those invisible places.

If they really want to fight to the death with this sect, the price that the Spirit Hall will have to pay will even be far higher than that of the Haotian Sect!
"Moreover, all the money spent will generate returns. The five million Xue Ye spent today is equivalent to just throwing it away. It's completely different." Yue Guan said.

"Just be quiet and don't cause any more trouble. If you drive Xue Ye crazy, it will be hard for everyone."

"Oh." Nan Feng nodded and walked away holding the little rabbit.

Yue Guan's eyes twitched. Oh?
Whenever Nan Feng used this interjection to answer a question, it meant that the boy didn't listen at all!
……

"Are you Sarath?"

"Replying to the elder, I am Sarath."

An old man with gray hair, who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, stood opposite Nan Feng.

"Please sit down." Nan Feng was still very kind to his colleagues.

"Thank you, Elder." Sarath breathed a sigh of relief.

This popular figure in the Pope's Palace is really a coward!

"What do you think of the situation in Tiandou City?" Nan Feng asked.

Sarath was stunned, "Which aspect are you talking about, Elder?"

"Of course it's the bunch of idlers from the Tiandou royal family." Nan Feng said.

"I went to the Tiandou Palace today and found that the corruption in the Spirit Hall is nothing compared to that of the Tiandou Imperial Family!"

Sarath felt a chill on his back.

Little by little?
What does this mean? The new Pope wants to reform the Spirit Hall after taking office?

Isn't that the reason why Spirit Hall can become bigger and stronger?

Otherwise, why would those soul masters have nothing better to do than to run to a place like the Spirit Hall where merits may not be rewarded and mistakes will be punished?

Isn’t it because the invisible treatment in the Spirit Hall is good?
Not to mention the two empires, even the seven major sects and eight major families did not dare to have a head-on conflict with the Spirit Hall easily, so the Spirit Hall in a certain region could basically be called a local emperor.

They don't even need to be greedy, people will give it to them consciously.

Take himself for example, in addition to the normal salary from the Spirit Hall every year, the tributes of all sizes added up to nearly 200,000 gold soul coins, which was several times his salary!
If he were an elder in other sects, he would only have a certain status in his own territory, but working in the Spirit Hall and reaching his level, in addition to Spirit City and the headquarters of those major sects, wouldn't he be the focus of attention wherever he goes in the entire continent?
Fame and fortune!

Just like this, why not join the Spirit Hall?
But if the Spirit Hall practices anti-corruption, it would be stabbing itself in the back!
"Don't worry, I still understand some things." Nan Feng said.

"I'm not one of those idiots who wants the horse to run but doesn't give it grass to eat."

Sarath laughed dryly twice, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Elder."

Why are most civilian spirit masters willing to join the Spirit Hall? Isn't it to get rid of their original status and become a superior person?
Being a superior person depends not only on strength, but also on status.

An idle Soul King and a Soul King from the Spirit Hall, the former dares not even fart when facing the latter!
Once you have a status, you must be decent. Decency needs to be maintained by wealth. How can you be decent just by relying on that normal salary?

If the Spirit Hall cuts off these invisible incomes and forces everyone to be incorruptible, wouldn't the lower and middle levels of the Spirit Hall be filled with complaints?

Especially those grassroots Spirit Halls, they have no money, no benefits, nothing. Are they crazy enough to go all over the mountains and plains to awaken the spirits of those small villages?

It is no exaggeration to say that awakening the martial soul is the foundation of the Spirit Hall!
The Spirit Hall has been able to gain its current power by taking charge of the small-investment, high-return business of awakening spirits.

If even one person out of a hundred has soul power and can become a soul master, it is a political achievement! A huge profit!
Soul masters are also human beings. Only fools would do things that have no benefits. These people with soul power found all over the mountains and plains are the achievements of the grassroots soul masters of the Spirit Hall and the foundation of the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall has the largest number of spirit masters in the entire continent because they are able to absorb these people as soon as they awaken their spirits.

If something goes wrong with the Spirit Hall in this matter, it will be a big trouble.

(Note: In Dou Yi, soul masters are the best of the best. The population of the entire continent is at least hundreds of millions, but according to statistics from the Spirit Hall, there are less than 100,000 soul masters. Even if they are only soul masters of level 10, they are still the best of the best. Commoners and common soul masters are two different concepts. Soul masters are all noble lords.

As for the spirit masters of Dou II, they can almost be described as everywhere. The most obvious changes are:
Douluo One: The legendary Titled Douluo!
Douluo II: Oh, it’s a Titled Douluo.

Douluo San: Are you also a Titled Douluo?

Douluo Four: Tsk, just a Titled Douluo.)
