Chapter 56: Qian Xunji’s Spirit Hall Development Plan, Traces of Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang

Having emerged from the most chaotic and darkest era of the Douluo Continent, one could even say that she was born to meet the calamity—nurtured by the very will of the world as its savior and the daughter of destiny.

After leading the Spirit Hall and the two great empires to end the dark era of fallen and evil soul masters running rampant, the Ancestral Angel God decreed that the Spirit Hall should take on the responsibility of exterminating fallen and evil soul masters and maintaining justice and order on the continent.

Beyond that, she also left a divine decree stating that the Qian Clan should not spread her faith within the Spirit Hall, nor should they propagate it among the common people. She only wished for people to be independent, strong, live happy lives, and enjoy peace and prosperity.

Even as a transmigrator, Qian Xunji deeply admired the Ancestral Angel God. Her kindness, righteousness, compassion, and benevolence were almost unlike anything one would expect from someone of this world.

However, while her deeds were admirable, Qian Xunji, as a transmigrator, understood something important—everything must progress with the times.

During that chaotic and dark era, the Ancestral Angel God's kindness, righteousness, compassion, and benevolence served as an unmatched banner that rallied just-hearted soul masters and citizens to end the rule of the evil soul masters.

But now, the continent had entered a relatively peaceful era.

Under the rule of the Qian Clan—who had inherited the Ancestral Angel God's ideals—Spirit Hall had always faithfully fulfilled its duty, eliminating lawbreaking fallen soul masters and murderous evil soul masters, maintaining order in the soul master world, and protecting the common people.

They even awakened martial souls for the common people free of charge, forcing the two great empires to provide subsidies for soul masters.

But with time, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire had continued to decay.

When the two empires were first established, the people had just emerged from an era of endless darkness that had lasted for an unknown number of years.

The continent's population had dwindled, and society was in ruins. But life had improved, and for a while, it continued to do so.

Now, after over two thousand years of development, the noble class of both empires had swelled into a monstrous entity that fed on the blood of the common people.

The lands of the common folk had long been taken as noble estates, and the various kingdoms and duchies that had splintered from the two empires were in constant conflict, each struggling to maintain their military might.

This had pushed the commoners to their limits—after a year of hard labor, they could barely afford a few meals with meat. Their only hope was for their children to awaken a martial soul and become a soul master.

Such a world was utterly sick.

In Qian Xunji's view, it had to change.

And who would change it?

As a transmigrator and the Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji could only say—if not him, then who?

Only he and Spirit Hall could bring real hope to the people of the continent!

Leaving it to someone else?

The so-called "Tang Clan's continent" ten thousand years later made grand claims, yet without Spirit Hall, commoners no longer received free martial soul awakenings. Even the last opportunity they had to change their fate was shrouded in darkness.

An outstanding young soul master, with immense talent, had to sell herself just to afford medicine for her mother. What an absolute joke!

To change all of this, Spirit Hall needed to grow stronger!

The Ancestral Angel God had forbidden the Qian Clan from spreading her faith within the Spirit Hall and among the common people. Her intentions were good.

But now, everything had changed!

If Spirit Hall did not spread its faith and strengthen itself, then what?

Should they just hand over the belief system of the Douluo Continent to that hypocritical, selfish, and shameless Tang "Buddha"?

That would be sheer stupidity!

At this moment, Golden Crocodile Douluo had already reached Rank 99, the peak of the Douluo Realm, and would soon step into the demigod realm, allowing him to start gathering faith and consolidating a divine position.

After consuming the Earth Dragon Gold Pill refined from the Earth Dragon Gold Melon, his martial soul had evolved from the Golden Crocodile King to the Earth Dragon King.

In Qian Xunji's view, the most suitable divine position for Golden Crocodile Douluo in the future was undoubtedly the God of Earth!

This divine position could encompass responsibilities such as cultivation, farming, and harvest.

According to Qian Xunji's plan, once he had thoroughly researched and refined ancient agricultural techniques from his past life—such as composting, intercropping, crop rotation, and companion planting—he would mobilize the Spirit Hall's resources.

He would summon the deacons from every village-level Spirit Hall branch to Spirit City, where they would be trained in these agricultural techniques.

Afterward, they would return to their respective branches to teach the farmers in surrounding villages.

At the same time, Golden Crocodile Douluo would accompany them.

With his control over the earth, he would aid these commoners in farming while spreading the faith of the God of Earth.

With Spirit Hall's reputation and credibility, combined with the immense benefits of these new farming techniques and the rental of advanced agricultural tools like the Quyuan Plow and waterwheels, faith in Golden Crocodile Douluo's divine role would spread rapidly among the commoners, gaining a massive following!

Meanwhile, Qian Xunji would secretly ensure that faith and economic interests bound these commoners tightly to Spirit Hall's control.

This was Qian Xunji's plan to strengthen Spirit Hall—his Divine Creation Plan, aimed at preparing titled Douluo who reached the demigod level for ascension to godhood!

Beyond that, Qian Xunji had also derived numerous alchemical formulas from the Divine Alchemy Scripture and planned to mass-produce medicinal pills.

In the future, he would implement a Contribution Point System, where Spirit Hall's soul masters could exchange points for pills and treasures stored in the Spirit Hall treasury, thereby enhancing the overall strength of Spirit Hall.

This system would also greatly increase the motivation of Spirit Hall's soul masters.

Of course, refining pills wasn't something Qian Xunji himself could waste all his time on as Pope.

In fact, after marrying Ling Yuan, Qian Xunji had kept Dugu Bo in Spirit City to teach him alchemy.

Now, Dugu Bo had achieved some success and had been appointed as the head of Spirit Hall's Alchemy Department.

Under Qian Xunji's orders, the Alchemy Department was established in Spirit City, where a large number of soul masters skilled in pharmacology or possessing suitable martial souls were trained in alchemy.

Both the Divine Creation Plan and the Alchemy & Contribution Point System were integral parts of Spirit Hall's Soul Master Development Plan.

Beyond that, Qian Xunji had also launched a Scientific Development Plan.

In Spirit City, a Basic Technology Research Center and a Soul Tool Technology Research Center were established.

The former was tasked with researching and recreating technologies and scientific achievements from his past life on Blue Star, following Qian Xunji's instructions and ideas.

So far, the Basic Technology Research Center had successfully recreated gunpowder, soap, snowflake sugar, snowflake salt, and cheap paper.

These Blue Star technological products, especially soap, snowflake sugar, and snowflake salt, were branded by Spirit Hall with its influence and packaged as top-tier luxury goods in the continent. Once sold, they caused a rush to buy, bringing Spirit Hall significant profits!

As for paper, although paper existed on the Douluo Continent, it was made from special wood materials, making it quite expensive. However, Qian Xunji had used the papermaking techniques from his past life to produce paper.

While it wasn't as white and delicate as the paper on the Douluo Continent, its cost was extremely low. Even if sold at a low price, the profit was substantial!

However, when it came to gunpowder, Qian Xunji ran into difficulties.

Although he knew that the ratio of ingredients for black gunpowder was one part saltpeter, two parts sulfur, and three parts charcoal, this referred to the specific ingredient ratios. He had no way to measure the proportion of active ingredients in the saltpeter, sulfur, or the charcoal produced by burning wood.

To refine powerful black gunpowder would likely take a long time. Currently, the gunpowder they had developed was only suitable for fireworks.

As for the Soul Tool Technology Research Center, its name spoke for itself—it was focused on researching soul tools. However, Qian Xunji could not provide guidance in this area.

He could only allow soul masters who had some research knowledge of soul tools within Spirit Hall to investigate and explore the remains of ancient ruins on their own.

"Greetings, Your Holiness!"

"Greetings, Lady!"

After arriving at the outskirts of Spirit City with little Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan, they came to the experimental farm area.

A team of Holy Emperor Warriors stationed there immediately turned around and respectfully bowed to Qian Xunji and Ling Yuan.

"There's no need for formalities!"

While holding Qian Renxue, Qian Xunji smiled and waved his hand.

At that moment, the Spirit Hall soul masters responsible for verifying the effects of the composting, intercropping, and crop rotation techniques hurried over to pay their respects.

Naturally, Qian Xunji asked them if they encountered any problems in their experiments.

The soul masters respectfully replied that there were no issues. Everything was going smoothly, and they were just waiting for the final crop yield results.

"Daddy! So much big, tall grass!"

Seeing the rice, soybeans, and corn planted in the experimental field, little Qian Renxue's large, sparkling eyes widened in shock, her delicate and cute face full of surprise.

"Hehe, this isn't grass, these are the grains we eat!"

"Come! Let Daddy teach you how to identify these crops, and we'll pull out the weeds together."

Qian Xunji smiled as he put down little Qian Renxue and entered the experimental field to teach her how to identify crops while pulling out the weeds.

As a transmigrator, Qian Xunji had already planned out his educational methods for his daughter, Qian Renxue.

She was still young, so he intended to first teach her the continent's writing and some basic common knowledge. When she got older, he would begin teaching her the history of Spirit Hall.

He wanted Qian Renxue to love Spirit Hall, understand this world, and also understand how to approach it with the right attitude!

For her previous life's education, Qian Xunji also planned to arrange it.

His goal was to raise his daughter to be even more outstanding than she had been in the other world. Not only should she be intelligent and strategic, but also well-versed in both military and political affairs.

She should have morals and boundaries but not be rigid—rather, she should be decisive when necessary!

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Spirit City's experimental field, after Qian Xunji had finished teaching the young Qian Renxue how to identify crops and weeds and half-playfully pulled out the remaining weeds, he returned to Spirit City with Ling Yuan and the tired yet happy little Qian Renxue.

After lunch, Qian Xunji sat in the Pope's main hall and listened to reports from Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei about the current situation on the continent.

"Report to Your Holiness!"

"Brothers Tang Xiao and Tang Hao have already left the Clear Sky Clan."

"It is said that the Clear Sky Clan's Sect Master, Tang Zhen, sent them out for training."

"Additionally, there is a trio of three people, known as the Golden Iron Triangle, who can use a martial soul fusion technique called the Golden Holy Dragon. They've gained considerable fame in the Spirit Master world of the Balak Kingdom."

"This Golden Iron Triangle is made up of the Flying Corner, the Killing Corner, and the Wisdom Corner."

"Among them, the name of the Wisdom Corner seems to be Yu Xiaogang."
