The Ruthless Great Sun Sword Son

"Sixty million Low-grade Spirit Stones."

"Sixty million Low-grade Spirit Stones a year... somehow, it still feels a little short."

Jiang Ding muttered to himself.

If any Golden Core Cultivator heard him say that, their eyes would definitely turn red. They might even bring down a hammer with a clang, their minds clouded by jealousy.

Ordinarily, a Golden Core Cultivator's entire fortune amounted to only several tens of millions.

Of course, that did not include large quantities of first- and second-grade items. Golden Core Cultivators rarely deliberately collected such low-grade things, only occasionally keeping them to reward subordinates and juniors, or to nurture their descendants.

After thinking it over, Jiang Ding spoke again.

His own expenses were very low. All he needed was a top-grade third-grade spirit vein. He did not even need water or food; Golden Core Cultivators could already draw spiritual energy from the air to sustain their lives.

But—

One yearly refinement cost three hundred and fifty million Low-grade Spirit Stones!

Despite the enormous expense, this was still the low-spec version.

It only required large quantities
