Chapter 8 Seeds of Light

Ling Xiao seemed to have heeded the system's advice and stopped being wary of it. Seeing that Ling Xiao was no longer on guard, the system didn't say anything more. Ling Xiao, as before, continued to ask in his mind, "System, what is my martial soul?"

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered the main quest. Quest 1: Awaken your Martial Soul in three days. Reward: Twin-Winged Angel (Level 100). Quest 2: Join the Spirit Hall and become the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall. Reward: Seed of Light crafting technique (can be claimed in advance). PS: In Quest 2, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall is recognized by both the Papal Palace and the Hall of Worship. If it is only recognized by one side, the quest is still incomplete."

"System, do you want me to join the Spirit Hall? And what is this Seed of Light you mentioned? Did you just ignore my first question?" Ling Xiao asked with a serious expression.

"Ding, the host's martial soul situation is temporarily confidential. As for the function of the Seed of Light, the system has provided a note; please check it yourself. As for joining the Spirit Hall, it is to provide the host with better cultivation resources and a better space for development. Moreover, joining the Spirit Hall is also related to a side quest." At this moment, the system reverted to its original emotionless mechanical voice.

"Side quests? What are those?" Ling Xiao asked with a curious expression.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a side quest: cultivate believers and collect faith power. Reward: Temple of Light, special divine soul ring *9 (host exclusive)."

"Cultivate believers? System, do you think I'm cut out to cultivate believers?" Ling Xiao asked incredulously. He had always been law-abiding and had never done anything to deceive others. Now he was being asked to cultivate believers? Wasn't that putting him in a difficult position?

"So I gave you an angel. He was a priest in his previous life, and after his death he was reincarnated as an angel by the Lord of Light."

"System, I'd like to ask, how is my grandfather's health?" Ling Xiao suddenly thought of this question and asked.

"Ding, host, don't worry for now. With his current physical condition, although your grandfather doesn't have much time left, he can still live for another year or two."

"Is there any way to help him extend his lifespan?" Ling Xiao asked anxiously. Although he had only arrived yesterday, he had absorbed the original owner of the body's memories last night and had developed a good impression of the old man who had been taking care of him. Ling Xiao felt a sense of kinship from him that he had never experienced before.

"Ding, the simplest way is to make him a Soul Master. High-level Soul Masters have a relatively longer lifespan, which is equivalent to prolonging his life."

“But you know my grandfather doesn’t have any innate soul power, so how could he cultivate?” Ling Xiao questioned.

In the Douluo Continent, the most important thing is innate soul power. To become a soul master, one must have innate soul power, even if it is only a little bit. To become an excellent soul master, one needs even higher innate soul power. The higher the innate soul power, the better the talent and the faster the cultivation speed.

"Ding. Before questioning the system, check the effect of the Seed of Light."

Upon hearing the system's words, Ling Xiao immediately checked the introduction of the Seed of Light. After reading it, Ling Xiao understood the function of the Seed of Light. This secret technique was probably created by the Lord of Light to develop priests. This secret technique can help those who cannot cultivate to do so.

Actually, it's not quite right to call it cultivation. This Seed of Light is like a seed. If Ling Xiao plants this Seed of Light into his grandfather's body, as long as Ling Xiao's grandfather believes in the Lord of Light (Ling Xiao), Ling Xiao can receive the power of faith. Ling Xiao can keep a portion of it (or not), while the other portion of the power of faith will be processed and marked with Ling Xiao's exclusive label, and then returned to Ling Xiao's grandfather through the Seed of Light.
