Qing Chen's expression darkened somewhat.
The Nine-Luminaries Glazed Vidyaraja Pagoda naturally did not answer. It merely continued displaying further explanations.
Although ordinary spirit stones could serve as the energy source for enlightenment, they had to undergo multiple layers of purification and conversion within the pagoda, and their actual utilization rate was not particularly high. Thus, paying in spirit stones inherently carried a premium in the resources required.
If he instead used spirit crystals, spirit items containing Blood Path Rules, Blood Path treasure materials of the fourth tier or above, or remains that themselves contained profound insights into the Blood Path, the total value required could be reduced.
In other words, the pagoda did not necessarily require him to produce nearly four billion spirit stones.
But whatever he substituted, its value would not be much lower.
This was a true gluttonous beast that swallowed gold and devoured jade!
Qing Chen tried selecting the Magnetic Origin Rule next.
The amount of resources quoted by the pagoda was considerably lower than for the Blood Path. Although his accumulation in Primordial Magnetism was also profound, amounting to a little over one and a half Magnetic Origin Rule Threads, its strength was inferior to his Power of Blood Path Rules.
Then, indulging in a flight of fancy, he selected Time Rules.
This time, the pagoda displayed only cold warnings.
[The wielder possesses a small amount of insight into Dream Cultivation and has yet to truly embark upon the path of Time Rules.] [Estimated benefit of forced enlightenment: negligible.] [All resources invested are nonrefundable.]
Qing Chen immediately withdrew his divine sense.
What a joke.
Spending billions of spirit stones only to receive the words "seemed to have gained some insight" in the end-whoever wanted to be that kind of sucker could go right ahead.
