With Ye Jianzhong dead, all the wealth on him naturally fell into Ye Xiwen's hands. Both were at the Dharma Idol Realm Ninth Heaven, yet compared to Illusory Fox's wealth, Ye Jianzhong was a billionaire while Illusory Fox was a pauper.
The difference was not in spirit crystals. As far as spirit crystals alone went, Ye Jianzhong had only six billion, merely equal to what Ye Xiwen had possessed at his peak. After all, in a place like the Law Enforcement Heavenly Prison, there was no spiritual energy. To cultivate, one could only rely on spirit crystals, and it was difficult for anyone to have many left over.
Just from the brief battle and breakthrough earlier, Ye Xiwen had swallowed five billion of the ten billion spirit crystals seized from Illusory Fox in one gulp.
He had to maintain the Myriad Heart Ancient Tree while using the Mysterious Space to deduce the flaws in Ye Jianzhong's blade technique. This was an Earth Rank Peak blade technique; the expenditure needed to deduce it was imaginable. Ye Xiwen was only deducing its flaws and had not attempted to deduce the entire cultivation method. Otherwise, the consumption would have been far greater.
On top of that, he had to devour massive quantities of spirit crystals to cultivate alongside the Barren Blood Saint Fruit's energy. Ordinary people would faint just hearing of such spirit crystal consumption.
Naturally, others did not consume nearly as much as Ye Xiwen, but in a place like the Law Enforcement Heavenly Prison, consumption was still many times greater than outside. In other words, although cultivation advanced quickly, the cost was even greater.
Ye Jianzhong's true wealth lay in the various heavenly treasures he had accumulated over thousands of years, along with many rare materials for artifact forging and pill
