"Altogether, with the time passed inside the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son, the disciples of the Phoenix Sect and Heavenly Mountain Pavilion combined has reached nearly fifty million people, and our Spirit Crystals... have been completely depleted."
"Despite Heavenly Mountain Pavilion having some Spirit Crystal reserves before, now they have to rely on Phoenix Sect."
"Because you were in seclusion, I haven't reported this matter to you, Sect Master."
"Fortunately, Phoenix Sect still has many Blood Crystals, and now almost everyone is cultivating their flesh using Blood Crystals."
