It would take over two hundred Spirit Stones to raise four magic skills to the Proficient Level using the Spirit Cultivation Map, and a single Hongyan Talisman was worth one hundred Spirit Stones.
A suit of protective inner armor would be another two hundred Spirit Stones, plus pills, a tent, other miscellaneous items, and travel expenses…
Zhao Lin did some quick math in his head and replied, "I need to exchange for six or seven hundred Spirit Stones. Do you have that much, Brother Dong?"
Dong Lingcheng's eyes lit up. "I have a little over five hundred Spirit Stones myself. I can get the rest from someone else. No problem!"
Zhao Lin felt relieved and then asked, "What's the exchange rate?"
"The rate?"
Dong Lingcheng paused for a moment before it dawned on him. "Ah, you mean how many Spirit Stones per merit point, right?"
"The going rate in the commandery is ten Spirit Stones per merit point. I'll add one more, making it an eleven-to-one exchange. How does that sound?"
