In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed since Huo Yuhao awakened his Second Martial Soul and successfully obtained his second spirit ring. During this time, Furina had not been idle; she often immersed herself in "communication" with the system mall, attempting to find more development possibilities for this burgeoning cult.
This morning, Furina sat alone in the side hall of the Water God Temple, sunlight casting mottled shadows on her through the stained glass. She closed her eyes to concentrate, her consciousness frequently interacting with the system mall. After several draws, she obtained several Secret Manuals for Cultivation Techniques, the most suitable for Huo Yuhao being the "Ice Spirit Art."
"The Mysterious Heaven Skill is versatile, but its upper limit is indeed too low," Furina whispered to herself, her fingertips lightly tapping the armrest of her chair. "Unless, like in Douluo Five, it inexplicably gains the ability to absorb Bloodlines—but if that were the case, how would it differ from an Evil Soul Master? It's also lucky that the people on the Fairy Continent are so simple-minded, no different from fools; if this were a world of immortal cultivation, Tang San would likely have been sucked into a Ten Thousand Soul Banner long ago."
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile. Huo Yuhao's Second Martial Soul was the overlord of the Extreme North Land, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion, with the Ultimate Ice attribute. This "Ice Spirit Art" was perfectly suited for him. An ice-type Cultivation Technique would allow him to Cultivate with twice the result for half the effort, far surpassing the original Mysterious Heaven Skill.
In addition to the "Ice Spirit Art," Furina also drew the Water Breathing and Flame Breathing techniques from "Demon Slayer." These two breathing techniques have significant effects on ordinary people; if practiced to Major Achievement, even an ordinary person holding a blade could fight a high-level Spirit Master. Unfortunately, without a "Hashira" level powerhouse to provide systematic teaching, practitioners could only grope their way forward on their own.
"With the temperament of the people on the Douluo Continent, can they actually figure anything out?" Furina frowned slightly. "Especially since people on this continent seem to suffer from a late-stage symptom of laziness..." She sighed softly, not holding much hope for this.
Another gain that made her eyes light up was Hai Bodong's Profound Rank Advanced Dou Technique from "Battle Through the Heavens"—Glacial Dragon Flight. This ice-type technique was very suitable for Huo Yuhao and other ice-attribute Spirit Masters in the cult; on the Douluo Continent, this would definitely be a top-tier self-created Spirit Ability.
Besides these, the System also provided various miscellaneous items, ranging from Medicinal Pills to low-level spirit tools. Furina originally intended to distribute them directly to the followers, but on second thought, that didn't seem quite right.
"People often don't cherish things that are obtained too easily." She stood up thoughtfully and paced slowly in the hall. "It would be better to establish an exchange list, letting the followers earn points by completing tasks, and then use those points to exchange for corresponding rewards."
This idea made her eyes brighten. Whether it was Cultivation Techniques, Medicinal Pills, or Spirit Bones, all could be included in the exchange list. She could also use the System to exchange for some ten-year or hundred-year Spirit Bones as rewards. This way, she could both motivate the followers to actively contribute to the church and avoid unnecessary waste of resources.
No sooner said than done! Furina immediately set off to find Neuvillette to discuss the matter.
In the main hall of the Water God Temple, she laid out her entire series of concepts: a Research Department focused on spirit tools, Martial Souls, artificial spirit rings, and Spirit Bones; an Intelligence Department for gathering information, controlling public opinion, and publishing newspapers; an Executive Department to recruit talent and complete various missions; an Law Enforcement Department responsible for supervision, law enforcement, and preventing corruption; the Jialan Academy, aimed at competing with Shrek Academy; and the newly conceived point exchange System.
Neuvillette listened quietly, nodding in approval from time to time. As the practical manager of the Axis Cult, he greatly appreciated Furina's creative ideas, but he also proposed his own supplementary suggestions: "I believe we also need to add two more departments: a Finance Department to manage funds, and a Logistics Department to ensure supplies and medical care."
