Locke thought about whether he could afford to buy the Four Elements Ring of Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth anytime soon, but he dismissed the idea himself.
Buying just one ring would be useless, while buying the complete set would cost eight hundred thousand Magic Stones.
Although he had one million two hundred thousand in savings and could earn another one hundred and sixty thousand Magic Stones each month, his Second-Class Truth Institute Fund Project alone would require him to use the three major Third-Ring Magic Mirrors at least thirty-five times.
Since this project currently belonged to him, Mason Witch and the others were helping him conduct research and use the Magic Mirrors, so he should pay the usage fee of twenty thousand Magic Stones each time.
During the research process, he was still using the one mu Magic Field at the top of the Great Red Mountain Banyan Tree's canopy to synthesize and discover new functional-mechanism pathways and new natural mana-structure components.
In other words, the number of times he would need to use the Magic Mirrors for this project would only increase in the future.
He needed to spend at least seven hundred thousand Magic Stones right now, and he would only spend more in the future.
He also needed to keep two hundred thousand Magic Stones in reserve in case he suddenly needed money for something.
Therefore, for the time being, he definitely did not have the money to spend eight hundred thousand Magic Stones on the Four Elements Ring.
