A long string of prompts appeared on the God of War Interface:
"Since the skill used by the Only Esteemed Jade Pendant was 'borrowed,' the following clarification is hereby provided:"
"When the next skill is 'borrowed,' all traces of the previous skill will disappear completely. Therefore, you can only comprehend the most recently borrowed skill from the pendant."
It wasn't hard to understand. Gu Qingshan glanced at it and said, "Understood."
The God of War Interface displayed one final line:
"Comprehend Life Talisman: Evil Thought Burning God. Soul Power cost: 100 million points."
Gu Qingshan was startled. "Why does it cost so much Soul Power?"
The God of War Interface replied, "Because you have never studied any Life Talisman Art, a great deal of Soul Origin Power is required to break down, study, restructure, and complete this Life Talisman. The estimated cost is 100 million."
Gu Qingshan asked again:
"If I had studied Life Talisman Art, would the Soul Power required for this skill gradually decrease, like before?"
"That is correct," said the God of War Interface.
Gu Qingshan wore a thoughtful expression.
Something similar had happened before.
For example, when comprehending the Divine Skill Shrinking the Earth into an Inch, he had practiced painstakingly for a long time.
As his technique grew more polished, the Soul Power needed to comprehend the skill had dropped sharply.
So, to put it accurately:
If he had a deep understanding of a skill, the cost of comprehending it would decrease accordingly.
Unfortunately, talismans in the Cultivation World were called Spirit Talismans and were mainly used to cast spells.
But the talismans in the Evil Ghost World were Life Talismans, which needed Life Force to activate.
--The entire Evil Ghost World was a mystery. Learning about its civilization, knowledge, and skills was almost impossible.
