Before long, the great soul masters rushed to the Council hall one after another.


    In addition, xueduo''er also brought two confidants of Xuexian palace to attend the meeting.


    Su Chen came straight to the point and briefly explained the purpose of the meeting.


    "This..."


    Everyone was surprised to learn that Su Chen wanted to annex the forces around the soul hall and expand the forces of the soul hall.


    It''s reasonable to say that Su Chen is really too strong.


    Although the strength of several surrounding sects is not as good as that of the soul hall, they are not vegetarian. Now it is time to enjoy the success of the rivers and mountains that people have fought hard. The soul hall suddenly ran to let them surrender. No one would agree.


    In that case, we can only suppress it by force.


    Su Chen''s strength is obvious to all. The Canglong guards brought by Su Chen last time also let everyone guess that Su Chen must have reached some contact with Xianxia sect and obtained the support of Xianxia sect. With such a background, there must be no problem in force.


    However, if you want to attack others, you have to have a reason. It''s not a correct code of conduct to attack others simply to strengthen yourself. Once it is spread, the reputation of the soul hall will be greatly damaged. Even if they attack the strength of the surrounding sects, they will not surrender to Su Chen from the bottom of their heart for a long time, It will also sow trouble.


    Chief Yu Shi was silent for a moment and took the lead in saying: "Xiao Chen, I know you are eager to develop the soul hall, but is it too hasty? As long as our soul hall continues to develop itself and our strength is strong to a certain extent, the strength of the surrounding sects will naturally cling to the soul hall and take the soul hall as the core. If we attack now, I''m afraid it will be difficult to convince the public."


    Other great soul masters nodded one after another.


    "Xiao Chen, you should think twice. Our soul hall is inherited from the spirit family. In the immortal world, it''s a little untenable. It''s not easy to get the recognition from the surrounding over the years. If you do the tiger and wolf thing now, it will trigger a series of chain reactions."


    "In my opinion, if the soul hall wants to develop externally at this stage, it must not use force. It is the best policy to strengthen the connection with the surrounding forces, form a stable alliance situation, and take the soul hall as the core to stabilize the surrounding cultivation forces."


    Su Chen was not surprised to see that everyone was against his proposal.


    Soul hall belongs to the conservative faction among the large and small forces in the cultivation circle. It has always been used to keeping a low profile. It has always maintained the principle that people don''t offend me and I don''t offend. Now Su Chen wants to take the initiative to annex the surrounding forces, which is contrary to the habit of soul hall for many years.


    However, they clearly misunderstood Su Chen''s understanding of the word "annexation".


    Su Chen smiled and said, "don''t worry. I haven''t finished yet. What I said about annexation is not to clean and suppress by force, but to lure it by profit."


    "Inducement?"


    People are confused again.


    Although the soul hall is not poor, it is not too rich. The greatest value in the soul hall is the soul sea. Relatively, the mastery of mineral and other spiritual resources is less than the strength of other sects.


    The soul hall is famous for its control over the soul. Compared with the traditional immortal sect, it still has a certain awareness. The demand for cultivation resources is not as strong as other forces. Therefore, the development and accumulation of financial resources are not obvious.


    Besides, the natural resources of the soul hall are not superior to other sects. In this case, what can be used to lure the surrounding forces?


    You know, Su Chen is talking about annexation.


    Lure them with profits so that the strength of surrounding sects can take the initiative to invest in the soul hall. This is not what ordinary interests can do.


    Does Su Chen want to use the signboard of Xianxia sect?


    If Xianxia sect is used as bait to attract the strength of surrounding sects, it is possible.


    After all, Xianxia sect is the largest sect around. If you can join the alliance circle of Xianxia sect and get the protection of Xianxia sect, it will definitely be very attractive.


    However, what a giant Xianxia sect is. Even if Su Chen has a certain degree of cooperation with Xianxia sect, it may not be so easy to use the big signboard of Xianxia sect.


    Besides, won''t the soul hall become a subsidiary of Xianxia sect?


    This is putting the cart before the horse. With Su Chen''s heart, he won''t do such a stupid thing.


    Su Chen saw that people were speculating, but he couldn''t grasp the key point. He simply said: "In my hands, there are more than 300 billion spiritual stone cultivation resources, and this number will increase exponentially in the next few years... To put it bluntly, I can''t spend much money now. Even if I don''t spare any efforts to develop the soul hall itself, at best, 50 billion cultivation resources are enough. It''s a waste to keep the remaining resources, so I want to make the best use of everything and benefit Use these resources to attract talents from all parties and quickly expand the strength of the soul hall. "


    Once this was said, the hall was quiet.


    After a long time, chief Yu Shi stammered and asked, "Xiaochen, what you said is true? Do you really have 300 billion spiritual stone practice resources?"


    "That''s 300 billion. Xiaochen, you''re not dreaming."


    "The annual revenue of our soul hall is only one billion."


    "If you package and sell the soul hall, you may be able to exchange it for 300 billion, but it''s all fixed assets. In fact, the usable assets can hardly exceed 50 billion no matter how you collect them."


    Hearing what everyone said, Su Chen was a little surprised.


    "Soul Hall... Is it so poor?"


    As soon as the voice fell, everyone looked at Su Chen with complex eyes.


    Su Chen shrugged his shoulders, very ashamed.


    He always thought that the soul hall was quite rich. Unexpectedly, it was only worth five Linggen strengthening pills?


    But when you think about it, you know that this is the normal situation in the immortal world.


    Resources will continue to be monopolized by the upper class.


    Lingshan, the three saints, the nine caves and the 72 houses are the upper class of Lingshan.


    In addition, the strength of the sect, which is not pleasant to say, is actually out of class.


    90% of the resources of Lingshan are monopolized by these upper classes.


    There are countless small sects below, let alone soup. If there is bone residue, it will be very moist.


    This involves macro issues at the economic level, not much description.


    To sum up, in this immortal world with a long history, the polarization between the rich and the poor has reached a very terrible level.


    It''s just that the world is too big. From the perspective of the bottom, it''s difficult to see the whole world. There are not enough references for comparison, so the feeling is not very obvious.


    But the problem always exists.


    The strong can easily monopolize a large number of resources, and the weak can only survive in the cracks.


    Su Chen himself is also an example.


    Linggen strengthening pill is a monopoly resource.


    No one else, only him.


    It''s very normal that a pill you can easily make is worth all the assets of a small sect.
