「Half a month later.」
Fang Qingyuan watched Tuoba Ye enter a Secluded Cave Mansion on Golden Dawn Mountain. This cave mansion was a place the Iron Wind He Family rented out for cultivators to break through. Over the past few centuries, countless metal-attribute Foundation Establishment Cultivators had been born from it.
There was more than one such cave mansion on Golden Dawn Mountain. Following the layout of the Spirit Veins, the He Family had carved out over a dozen cave mansions on the mountain suitable for breakthroughs. Fang Qingyuan had only rented one of them.
But even though the one Fang Qingyuan rented wasn't the best, the daily cost was still staggering: three Middle-grade Spirit Stones per day.
A Qi Refining Cultivator's attempt to reach Foundation Establishment could take anywhere from a few months to a year. Assuming half a year, that would require a base of five to six Top-grade Spirit Stones.
