Chen Lin looked down at his hand in puzzlement.
He discovered that the energy in the Starlight Grass he held was draining rapidly. At this rate, it could never last a month-one day at most.
"Can this really last a month?"
Chen Lin turned to Xue Wa and asked.
"Yes, exactly one month. It gets used up a little faster in scenarios with dense nightmare qi, but there definitely won't be a problem here."
Xue Wa answered with complete seriousness.

This wasn't a little faster. It was far too much faster.
There was an enormous difference between one day and one month!
In other words, a cultivator who wanted to replace Xianji Stones with this would need one stalk a day, meaning one Nightmare Coin. Given how scarce Nightmare Coins were, ordinary people couldn't afford that.
He might have quite a few Nightmare Coins now, but that was because he received a First-Class Bailiff's salary and had saved it up day after day. Without that salary, his reserves wouldn't have exceeded five hundred.

Chen Lin immediately said, "I really need this. Go back now and buy a batch for me. I'll cover the mission penalty for your departure."
This would be her second time leaving, which required ten
