Chapter 106 Soul Master's Monthly Offering
When Ye Qifeng and Gui Mei returned to Wuhun City after hunting down the spirit rings, it was already broad daylight.
At that time, Bibidon had already left the Temple of the Holy Son and gone to the Papal Palace to handle political affairs.
Because his cultivation level was unstable, after returning to Wuhun City, Ye Qifeng did not choose to visit Bibi Dong at the Pope's Palace immediately. Instead, he returned to the Holy Son's Palace to meditate and cultivate, consolidating his cultivation.
Afterwards, he studied the Yin-Yang Space in the spiritual world several times, reviewed the memories that returned to his mind, and tried to cultivate the newly acquired Yin-Yang Heavenly Skill.
This took a lot of time.
Ye Qifeng got up from the bed and put on his shoes.
I slowly walked to the French windows and glanced at the sky outside.
It was almost noon.
After thinking about it, Ye Qifeng decided that he should go see his teacher, Bibi Dong, and report on his cultivation progress.
Although the two slept together almost every night, practically living together day and night, he was still young and his body hadn't developed, so he couldn't do much and could only serve as a human-shaped body pillow.
But no matter what, Bibi Dong is still his teacher in name only, so he still needs to show her the proper respect.
Then.
Ye Qifeng then walked out of the Holy Son's Palace.
Facing the scorching midday sun, I walked towards the Papal Palace.
The Papal Palace is not far from the Basilica of the Holy Son; it's only a few minutes' walk away.
A few minutes later.
Ye Qifeng arrived outside the gates of the Papal Palace.
"Your Highness!"
The Holy Emperor's warriors guarding the door immediately knelt on one knee and performed a knightly salute upon seeing Ye Qifeng.
Ye Qifeng smiled slightly and nodded:
"Thank you all for your hard work!"
"It's no trouble at all; it's our duty," the Holy Emperor's warriors replied respectfully.
Over the course of the year, the Holy Emperor's warriors had become quite familiar with and fond of this clean-cut and gentle Holy Prince.
"Your Highness, please!"
The tall Holy Emperor Warrior leader immediately opened the doors of the Papal Palace, led Ye Qifeng inside, and took him to the council hall.
The two arrived outside the council hall, and the leader of the Holy Emperor's warriors was about to speak and ask the Pope for instructions.
Just then, a voice filled with icy killing intent suddenly rang out from the council hall:
"This is outrageous!"
Bang! At the same time, a powerful soul force comparable to that of a Title Douluo suddenly swept out and crashed into the door of the council hall with a loud bang.
Fortunately, the doors to the council hall were made of a hard material, which was enough to withstand the attacks of ordinary titled Douluo.
This is still the result of the soul power pressure being somewhat restrained.
If its master were to unleash his full soul power, the doors to the council hall would likely be destroyed instantly and blown away.
The leader of the Holy Emperor Warriors shuddered involuntarily, his hair stood on end, and the words that were about to come out of his throat were swallowed back down, almost choking him.
Ye Qifeng was also startled, his heart skipped a beat, and doubt arose in his mind:
"That's the teacher's voice and the pressure of his soul power. What happened? Why is he so angry?"
He immediately frowned slightly.
"And that malevolent aura... Has the teacher gone into the Rakshasa Secret Realm to cultivate again?"
"I used to help her suppress and purify her negative state almost every day. Logically speaking, it should be fine even if I don't suppress and purify it for ten days or half a month."
"How could so much malevolent energy have accumulated in just one night? That shouldn't be the case!"
Ye Qifeng turned his head and looked at the trembling, cold-sweating leader of the Holy Emperor Warriors. He waved to him, signaling him to leave first.
The leader of the Holy Emperor's warriors felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly bowed and hurried away from the council hall, feeling that it was safer outside the Papal Palace.
Ye Qifeng shook his head as he watched the Holy Emperor Warrior leader leave.
It seems that Pope Bibidon's ruthless reputation has truly taken root in people's hearts.
at this time.
Inside the council chamber.
Pope Bibidon sat on his papal throne, holding a memorial in his hand, his eyes filled with murderous intent, his face frosty.
Two elders stood on the left and right sides of the steps below the hall.
It was the alluring Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, as beautiful as a woman, and the Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, whose appearance was obscured by his black robes.
Clearly, the three were discussing something, and it seemed they had encountered something that greatly displeased them, as the expressions on their faces were not very pleasant.
At this moment, Ju Douluo Yueguan's eerie, shrill voice rang out in the empty council hall:
"Your Holiness, the Heaven Dou Empire has dared to arbitrarily withhold one-third of the monthly Soul Master payments under the pretext of financial difficulties. They have only provided two-thirds of the usual monthly Soul Master payments."
"Our Spirit Hall has already sent people to negotiate, but the Heaven Dou Royal Family has been delaying and stalling, and has not paid the remaining one-third of the monthly Spirit Master tribute."
Yue Guan's words contained strong dissatisfaction.
Ghost Douluo, Ghostly Demon, who was standing nearby, also stepped forward and said in a deep, muffled voice:
"Like the Star Luo Empire, they also cited financial difficulties as the reason and took a tough stance, clearly stating that they would refuse to pay the remaining one-third of the Soul Master's monthly allowance."
The ghostly voice was hoarse and low, its tone even colder than usual, clearly indicating some anger.
The monthly payment for Soul Masters is a very good welfare policy.
Its purpose is to encourage commoner Soul Masters with low cultivation levels to cultivate.
This allows young commoner soul masters to receive a certain amount of gold soul coins when their soul power is low and weak, so that they will not have to give up cultivation due to poverty.
In addition, this is also an investment in and a way to win over commoner Soul Masters, making it easier to recruit them.
As long as a commoner Soul Master undergoes Soul Master identification at the Spirit Hall, registers as a Soul Master, receives an identity token representing a Soul Master, confirms that their Soul Power is between level 10 and 30, and has not joined any faction, they can receive a monthly Gold Soul Coin subsidy from the Spirit Hall, which is the Soul Master's monthly allowance.
Each month, a Soul Master can receive one Gold Soul Coin, and a Great Soul Master can receive ten Gold Soul Coins, until their Soul Power reaches level 30.
Once a Soul Master reaches the Soul Venerable realm, they are capable of supporting themselves. Even without joining the Spirit Hall, they are qualified to receive a noble title directly from the two great empires and become the lowest-ranking noble baron.
The policy of providing monthly stipends to Soul Masters was an agreement signed in black and white by the Spirit Hall and the other two largest powers countless years ago, when the God of Angels was still alive.
The agreement stipulates that the Spirit Hall will provide free Spirit Awakening for all civilians across the continent, while the monthly fees for Spirit Masters will be shared equally by the other two major powers.
Awakened Soul Master talents are divided equally among the three factions, but ordinary Soul Masters can also freely choose which faction to join.
To prevent the other two major powers from embezzling the monthly allowances for Soul Masters by those ruthless nobles, the Spirit Hall proposed that the two major powers contribute the money, which would then be distributed uniformly by the Spirit Hall.
Under the control of the Spirit Hall, the monthly allowances for Soul Masters are almost always distributed fairly and justly. Although it is hard to guarantee that some corrupt officials may embezzle the money, once discovered, the Spirit Hall punishes them with swift and decisive measures.
The other two major forces are responsible for providing monthly stipends to low-ranking commoner soul masters. This benefit was negotiated between the Spirit Hall and these forces to secure it for commoner soul masters.
The Spirit Hall enjoys an excellent reputation among the common people of Douluo Continent and holds a lofty position in the hearts of all Soul Masters, being regarded as a sacred place in their hearts.
This is part of the reason.
This is a genuine achievement, one that the Spirit Hall deserves, and no one can erase it.
It didn't come out of nowhere, nor was it achieved through propaganda.
