The little girl nodded repeatedly and turned to lead the way.

Qian Daoliu followed the little girl through several alleys and arrived at a dilapidated stone house.

The house was very small; even the door was made of wooden planks pieced together, with several cracks in it.

The thatched roof was sparse, and in some places you could even see the sky.

The little girl pushed open the door, stood awkwardly to the side, and said softly, "Uncle, the house is very shabby, please...please don't mind."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, bent down, and walked into the house.

The room was dimly lit, with only an oil lamp providing some light.

The ground was covered with dry grass.

A few worn-out clothes were piled up in the corner.

A middle-aged peasant woman lay on a bed made of stacked stones.

The peasant woman was pale, her lips were cracked, and she was so thin that she was skin and bones. Her chest was rising and falling weakly, and she looked like she was on the verge of death.

"Mommy!" The little girl ran over and grabbed the farmer's hand. "Hang in there a little longer, Hua Hua is going to get someone to rescue you!"

After saying that, the little girl was about to kneel down in front of Qian Daoliu again.

Qian Daoliu reached out to support her and said softly, "Leave the rest to me."

He walked to the bedside, raised his right hand, placed it on the peasant woman's forehead, and injected a wisp of soul power into her body to check her physical condition.

A moment later, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly.

The peasant woman's illness was not actually very serious; it was just a common case of typhoid fever, compounded by long-term malnutrition that had weakened her body.

Back then, those who awakened their martial spirit could perfectly resist this disease.

Sendou Ryu realized something strange.

However, they did not inquire immediately.

He channeled his soul power gently into the peasant woman's body, dispelling the coldness within her and repairing her damaged meridians.

Soon, the peasant woman's complexion became rosy, and her breathing gradually became steady.

She remained conscious and knew what had happened. She opened her eyes, struggled to get out of bed, knelt on the floor, and wept uncontrollably.

"Thank you so much, sir! It doesn't matter if I die without your help, but what will happen to Hua Hua? She's only eight years old!"

Hua Hua also cried, running and throwing herself into the peasant woman's arms, sobbing softly.

Qian Daoliu was feeling heavy-hearted at the moment. He quickly helped the peasant woman up and gestured for her to lie back down on the bed to rest.

"Your illness is cured. You'll be able to get out of bed after a few days of rest."

The peasant woman was extremely grateful, and Hua Hua, wiping away tears, kept bowing to Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu waited until they calmed down before asking them questions.

"Your illness is very common. Even if you have only awakened the most ordinary martial soul, your body should be able to resist it completely."

"But why haven't you awakened your martial soul yet?"

"And your daughter too, she should have awakened her martial spirit at six, but she's already eight."

Qian Daoliu was very puzzled by this matter.

He had just discovered that most of the residents in this town had not awakened their martial souls.

This is not normal.

You have to understand the era he lived in.

The Spirit Hall regularly sends people to various towns.

Free assistance to ordinary people to awaken their martial spirit.

How did we end up in this day and age?

So many people haven't awakened their martial souls?

"Ugh."

Upon hearing this, the peasant woman sighed.

His face was full of bitterness.

"I'd love to, but awakening a martial soul is just too expensive. It costs a full 10 gold soul coins. I work myself to the bone all year and barely make ends meet. Where would I get the money to awaken a martial soul?"

10 Gold Soul Coins?

Qian Daoliu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

This price is outrageous.

The cost of awakening a martial soul is clearly only a few copper soul coins.

They actually charge 10 gold soul coins here?

"Isn't there any force that can help you awaken your martial soul for free?"

Qian Daoliu asked another question.

The peasant woman shook her head, her voice filled with despair.

"That's unrealistic. Soul Masters are a noble profession. We commoners are destined to remain commoners for life. Who would be willing to awaken a Martial Soul for us for free?"

Qian Daoliu's face darkened.

He had actually accepted the disappearance of the Spirit Hall.

After all, no power can last forever.

But with the disappearance of the Spirit Hall, is there no force in this era that loves the common people?

It's one thing to charge for awakening a martial soul, but why not just rob someone if it costs 10 gold soul coins?

Why can't they help ordinary people awaken their martial souls for free like the Spirit Hall?

At this moment, Qian Daoliu felt that the world was sick.

Without the protection of angelic glory, this world is seriously ill.

He took a deep breath.

He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

He looked at Huahua.

He forced a smile onto his face.

"Your name is Hua Hua, right? How about I help you awaken your martial soul?"

Hua Hua's face lit up with surprise, her eyes sparkling: "Uncle, really?"

"Of course it's true," Qian Daoliu said gently.

The peasant woman quickly refused, saying, "Sir, awakening a martial soul must be very difficult, right? You've already wasted your time saving me, how can I trouble you further?"

Qian Daoliu waved his hand: "Awakening a martial soul is very simple, no need to thank me, it's what I should do."

Without waiting for the peasant woman to refuse, he raised his right hand, and a golden light covered Huahua's entire body.

"Don't resist, feel the martial spirit within your body, then try to guide it and gather it in your right hand."

At Qian Daoliu's current level, helping others awaken their martial souls doesn't require setting up an awakening array; it's just a matter of course.

Hua Hua nodded emphatically, closed her eyes, and followed Qian Daoliu's instructions to feel with her heart.

Soon, she sensed her martial spirit.

Hua Hua stretched out her right hand, and a scythe appeared in her palm with a flash of light.

A golden light flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes as he casually glanced at Hua Hua and gave the most objective evaluation.

"Martial Soul: Scythe, Innate Level 2 Soul Power."

"Although your martial soul quality isn't great, you're very lucky to have innate soul power."

He took out a book on basic meditation from his storage soul tool and handed it to Hua Hua.

"This is a meditation method. If you practice diligently according to the method described above, you can still become a Soul Master."

Sendo-ryu naturally possessed better meditation methods.

But there's a saying: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

Hua Hua is too weak to defend herself.

"Thank you, Uncle!"

Hua Hua looked delighted.

Becoming a Soul Master was something she had only ever dared to dream about before.

She quickly took the meditation manual, bowed deeply to Qian Daoliu, and kept saying, "Thank you, Uncle! Thank you, Uncle!"

The peasant woman also got out of bed, filled with gratitude, tears streaming down her face.

Qian Daoliu glanced sideways at the peasant woman, his tone tinged with apology.

"You are getting on in years, and your martial spirit has long since fallen silent. I am powerless to help you, please understand."

The peasant woman hurriedly shook her head: "Sir, please don't say that! At my age, even if I awaken my martial soul, it's useless. I'm already very satisfied as long as Hua Hua has a chance to become a soul master!"

Qian Daoliu hummed in agreement, pondered for a moment, and looked at Hua Hua.

"Hua Hua, go and inform the town. Anyone aged six to eighteen who hasn't awakened their martial soul can come here. I'll help them awaken their martial soul for free, without charging a penny."
