176: Rectify the Wraith Hall White-Eye Wolf

A moment later.

A large crowd of people, numbering six to seven hundred, bustled into the Yanluo Great Hall.

The strongest among them were at the Core Formation Middle Stage, while the weakest were only at Qi Refinement Stage three.

These individuals were all skilled: some could perform Alchemy, others could refine Spiritual Plant Liquid, or refine Spirit Nurturing Pill, spirit feeding powder, or Artifact Refining… they were all outstanding Cultivators.

Many people wore gloomy expressions upon arriving at the Great Hall.

"What's so urgent? My Advanced Spirit Nurturing Pill was almost successful, but with this rush, the furnace exploded directly!"

"I was refining Advanced Spiritual Plant Liquid! One failure means a loss of six hundred Spirit Stones! I don't even have a place to cry!"

"Your Highness is truly… what's so urgent?!"

A small portion of the crowd complained that the sudden notification had ruined their good fortune.

As outstanding individuals in their respective fields, they naturally carried a certain arrogance.

After coming to the Netherworld Soul Hall, everyone treated each other courteously, without exploitation or coercion, which made their arrogance even more pronounced.

At this moment.

Deep within the Great Hall, Qin Feng sat on a white skeleton chair shaped like a Dragon's head, hearing everyone's expressions clearly, and a smile appeared on his face.

These people.

They finally revealed their true colors.

This further solidified Qin Feng's plan: before giving them benefits, he had to employ some additional methods, otherwise, the core secrets of the Netherworld Soul Hall could be leaked at any time.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng couldn't help but turn his gaze to Tie Zhu beside him.

"Feng Ge, what's wrong?"

"These people don't seem to be fully 'tamed' yet. If we give them benefits, how do we seal their mouths so they don't go around blabbing?"

"That's easy to say. Either refine them all into Humanoid Puppets, or turn them all into blood slaves. Another option is to place a curse on them, so they'll instantly die if they speak those words. You've certainly asked the right person by asking me."

Tie Zhu spoke voluminously, as if he were a Great Master in this area.

And at this moment.

Below the Great Hall, everyone realized the atmosphere was not right and quieted down, watching curiously.

Tie Zhu, following Qin Feng's instructions, turned around and addressed everyone:

"All of you present are experts in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Beast Taming, and Spirit Plants. Every one of you has your own unique skills!

However, your attainments in various fields are too low, and your progress is too slow. Your Highness has decided to personally help you improve your Cultivation Technique!

Those willing to have Your Highness improve their Cultivation Technique can now hand over the Alchemy Techniques, Artifact Refining Techniques, etc., that they Cultivate. In three days, you will also be prioritized to receive the Cultivation Technique."

As Tie Zhu's words fell, the crowd immediately became restless.

Whether it was Cultivation Techniques or the methods of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation, in the eyes of Cultivators, they were their means of livelihood and would never be easily passed on. Even if they were, a secret would be kept for unforeseen circumstances.

Now, Your Highness actually wants them to hand over their Cultivation Technique?

"Everyone!"

Seeing the crowd about to become restless, Qin Feng immediately waved his hand down, signaling for quiet, then spoke:

"If anyone is unwilling, I will not force them. The purpose of calling everyone here is to discuss with you, and also to give you an opportunity to choose.

I have finished speaking. Whoever is willing can come forward now."

At this moment, Tie Zhu walked out from behind the Great Hall, carrying several baskets. Each basket had a note on it, corresponding to the four types: Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Spirit Plants, and Beast Taming.

Besides these, the Hundred Arts of Cultivation also included Feng Shui, Formation, Divination, Talisman Making, and other categories. However, the current Netherworld Soul Hall was only focusing on the four types needed for its development.

With the four baskets set, everyone in the Great Hall immediately quieted down.

Those who had joined the Netherworld Soul Hall earliest saw the baskets set up and, almost without any hesitation, immediately walked to the corresponding basket and placed their Cultivation Technique or scroll inside…

The new recruits from the Spirit Beast Sect were all hesitating. As time passed, some also chose to hand over their Cultivation methods.

During this period, Qin Feng did not speak again to interfere with them, but rather respected their personal choices.

However, from now on, those who did not cooperate could only be treated as cannon fodder or left to their own devices.

Whether they were at Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining, he had promised to give them two Divine Demon Pills, worth hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stones, every year, treating them completely as his own people.

Those who did not cooperate today could truly be considered ungrateful.

Seeing that all those in the Great Hall who were willing had handed over their items, while the remaining people kept their heads down and remained silent, Tie Zhu couldn't help but urge:

"Feng Ge, is that enough?"

"Almost."

Qin Feng nodded, raising his eyelids and looking at everyone.

They stood mixed together, some staring at their shoelaces, some fiddling with their clothes, only those who had handed over their methods dared to meet Qin Feng's gaze.

Confidants and cannon fodder were now clear at a glance.

"Alright, everyone who just handed over their Cultivation Technique, stay. The rest can disperse for now."

Qin Feng couldn't help but borrow the method of his former cheap Revered Master Ge Goudan, letting some go and keeping others.

People in the Great Hall began to leave one after another, and a moment later, only over two hundred people remained.

This included Wen Xiaomei, who was now curiously observing Qin Feng, with curiosity in her eyes.

Tie Zhu guessed what Qin Feng was going to do next, so he flashed to the entrance and directly closed the Great Hall door.

Seeing this, the Disciples in the Hall showed excited expressions. They all knew that speaking with the door closed and speaking with the door open were two different concepts!

"Everyone, the Cultivation Technique I promised you will be presented within three days. From now on, you will become the true core members of my Netherworld Soul Hall!

The core members of other Sects are those with extraordinary talent and powerful cultivation, but my Netherworld Soul Hall is different. Anyone who can perform the Hundred Arts of Cultivation is qualified to become a core member of my Netherworld Soul Hall. At all times, all powerful individuals have an obligation to protect your safety!

But while I guarantee your safety, you must also provide a guarantee to the Netherworld Soul Hall!"

After speaking, Qin Feng turned and looked at Tie Zhu.

The latter immediately understood, walked directly to the center of the Great Hall, and then took out a small, palm-sized knife, black as ink, from his storage ring.

This small knife was adorned with various ancient symbols in gold powder, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.

Let alone outsiders, even Qin Feng himself frowned upon seeing this Magical Artifact.

No wonder rogue Cultivators were disliked; just the appearance of this Magical Artifact made him refuse to be cut by it.

"Everyone has been in the Netherworld Soul Hall for quite some time now. Your Highness and I will not harm you. This is merely a small curse placed upon you. Otherwise, how can we truly work together wholeheartedly?"

Tie Zhu showed a hint of a smile, then spat a mouthful of essence blood onto the black small knife.

As the blood merged, the knife seemed to come alive, transforming into a small black snake in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the area around the Netherworld Soul Hall was enveloped by an extremely peculiar power.

When they came back to their senses, the small black snake had already transformed into a gigantic black shadow, eight feet tall, wearing dilapidated armor, with an indistinct face.

Tie Zhu's face showed a fervent expression, and he immediately spoke to the black shadow: "Oh, great Evil God, today some are about to make an oath before you. They will never betray the Netherworld Soul Hall, and will never do anything detrimental to the Netherworld Soul Hall…"

After the oath was completed, the Evil God's phantom instantly vanished, and a small black snake appeared before each person below the Great Hall.

"You only need to squeeze out a drop of essence blood and feed it to the Evil God's Snake."
