"How much!?"
Stunned, Bai Mo looked at Li Wuji across from him. His teacup hit the table with a CLACK, splashing tea everywhere.
Li Wuji nodded.
"Brother, if you're looking for a Qi Collection Skill, that's the going rate."
"Five thousand is the starting price, and quality isn't even guaranteed."
Ah Er, who was waiting on them, stole a glance at Bai Mo's expression before leaning forward to refill his cup.
Bai Mo lifted the cup and took a light sip.
"Why is it so expensive?"
Li Wuji shrugged.
"Our sect doesn't lack cultivation methods. If you're not picky, even various combat arts aren't hard to come by."
"It's just that these practical yet obscure techniques are much rarer."
"Unless you trade for one with the sect, you'll have to find one at market price."
'It's not that I can't afford it. I just feel it's unreasonable, and I don't want to be a sucker.'
Bai Mo considered this for a long moment, then sighed.
"Fine."
