The ultra-long-distance Teleportation Array required high-grade Spirit Stones to operate. Qin Fengming had already learned this from the Sky-Bearing Beast, and Qing'ao had now confirmed it once more.

One had to know that the energy stored within a single high-grade Spirit Stone was a hundred times greater than that within a mid-grade Spirit Stone.
As for high-grade Spirit Stones, Qin Fengming had obtained one from inside a puppet when he had ventured through the "Divine Hall" back then—but there had been only that one.
When he first heard this, Qin Fengming's mind had inevitably begun to roar. There was no way he could produce sixteen mid-grade Spirit Stones. But after hearing Qing'ao promise to provide eight, Qin Fengming's heart settled considerably.
