Role in Xu Changshou’s Finances
Xu begins sect life with a single spirit stone, while Ye Shanhua already owns a boat costing five hundred. His limited funds force him to reserve fifty fragments for pills needed at the sixth-to-seventh-layer bottleneck rather than spend them on earlier advancement 11 15 16.
His first earned stone comes from completing Green Ink Peak’s monthly talisman quota. Private trading later changes his circumstances: the Myriad Treasures Pavilion pays one whole stone for each enhanced Windwalking Talisman, compared with the one-fragment price of an ordinary version. The agreement supplies ten stones of additional monthly income 27 28 33 38.
