Chang Qiwen had been earning Spirit Sources from the very beginning.
He needed them not only for himself, but also to send home. His younger sister, in particular, needed large quantities of Spirit Sources.
Otherwise, someone like him, who spent so little time cultivating over such a long period, could have saved some up.
The main reason Little Fatty, Song Qing, and the others had so much saved was that they cultivated so little.
They had not spent all their Spirit Sources on themselves.
Because once they started spending, there would never be enough.
It was the same at Golden Core and Primordial Spirit.
As long as one earned Spirit Sources to fund one's own cultivation,
there was rarely enough.
One could only say that the basics were covered; everything else required time.
So sometimes, someone in the family had to be sacrificed to provide for the others.
In all likelihood, Chang Qiwen had volunteered to be that person.
Or he had had no choice but to become that person.
Because he had received no support when cultivating, entering a sect had been difficult.
Without getting in, the road ahead became uncertain, and his limits were plain to see.
Jiang Man shook his head and put those matters aside. He still had to find Teacher Yan and head to the Return to the Void Secret Realm.
Just as he stepped outside, Jiang Man saw Ji Meng approaching.
Ji Meng was now dressed in a pale blue Immortal Skirt, a faint smile in her bright eyes.
"Were you chatting with an acquaintance, Young Master Jiang?" Ji Meng asked.
Jiang Man nodded. "A Cultivation Companion from the Cloudfront Office. He lent me quite a few Spirit Sources back then. I was counting entirely on him going to work to earn Spirit Sources."
