Inside the Great Zhou Academy's White Mountain Villa, Fang Qingyuan begrudgingly handed over fifty thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones to Ji Jiaqing. He had to pay twenty thousand of that sum out of his own pocket. With the collection of Demonic Qi halted, Longevity Elixirs were no longer in production, so this represented most of his personal fortune.
He had only reached the Golden Core realm four or five years ago, so the plantations in his Immortal Mansion were just beginning to yield returns. They had yet to provide him with a steady stream of revenue or the vast savings that came from long-term accumulation. As a result, after paying out those twenty thousand, Fang Qingyuan's wealth had shrunk dramatically, leaving him with a hollow feeling inside.
