Compared to the Qingluan Hairpin, a bit of empty reputation counted for nothing.
Demon Bone, preoccupied, held the hairpin, wanting to activate it to see if it had truly been restored.

A Spirit Base is ownerless by nature, theoretically any sufficiently ranked individual should be able to activate it unless it is a specially unique Spirit Base that requires a specific Attribute to do so.
The Qingluan Hairpin was not among these exceptions—it was a common sound series within the Heaven Law Spirit Base, so it should have been easy to activate.
