Do rich people necessarily have to be happy?
Bai Zhi didn't dare agree with that.
Everything in this world came at an equal price. When you gained something, you often lost something else in another respect.
Though rich people possessed inexhaustible wealth, they also lost their troubles, poverty, unhappiness...
—You simply couldn't imagine the happiness of rich people.
"...Are all Cultivators this filthy rich?"
After a moment of silence, with the blazing fire outside the window soaring into the sky behind her, Bai Zhi wore a slightly strange expression as he asked the Young Girl before him.
When he had seen her casually hand them stack after stack of Spirit Talismans earlier, Bai Zhi had even spent a while admiring her noble virtue of generosity without batting an eye.
But now... Bai Zhi realized that poverty had limited his imagination.
She had hundreds of thousands of Spirit Talismans stuffed in her pockets. No wonder she hadn't seemed the least bit pained when tossing out dozens or hundreds at a time...
"That was before. I could squander money before, but not anymore."
Watching the flames outside the window that had practically set half the night sky ablaze, Jiang Chanyi looked utterly gloomy.
"Spiritual Energy has been polluted, and the road ahead has already been cut off. Those hundreds of thousands of Spirit Talismans are the last of my family fortune. Do you think drawing talismans is still as simple as directly drawing upon the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth like it used to be? Once the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth was polluted, those artifact-refining materials naturally couldn't escape it either. The cost is now hundreds of times higher than before..."
"Spiritual Energy has been polluted? What does that mean? Can you explain it in detail?"
Something stirred faintly
