Independent Practitioner Talisman Masters are solitary, without backing from any forces, making them relatively simple and easier to control.
These Talisman Masters are mostly Junior-Tier, only able to engrave basic runes. The Daluo Alliance is using this approach primarily to boost its reputation and set an example, similar to testing the waters or attracting valuable resources. As long as the price is right, the truly renowned Talisman Masters will come rushing in.
After all, in this world, no one rejects money.
Many high-tier Talisman Masters still maintain their pride and wait for news.
For these seemingly not-so-excellent Junior-Tier Talisman Masters, the Daluo Alliance treated them seriously, holding a grand welcoming ceremony, hosting a lavish banquet before taking them to view the 'materials' needing rune engraving.
