Seven or eight thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones, for a Core Formation cultivator, is not a small sum.
Li An, as a Golden Core cultivator, consumes far more Spirit Stones daily than a True Core cultivator, but without additional expenses and purely for cultivation, four to five hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones are enough for a month.
He only has a total of over sixty thousand middle-grade Spirit Stones on him, and if he spends money to buy Spirit Medicine to absorb the Taiyin Qi, he won't last for many rounds.
Core Formation is already extremely difficult, and for a Core Formation cultivator to reach Nascent Soul is even more uncertain.
Even with sufficient aptitude, the cost is unimaginably astronomical.
Nurturing the Purple Mansion to achieve Nascent Soul, every step requires a pile of resources.
