After listening to Non-fish's detailed explanation, everyone came to the realization that his 'chasers of a thousand miles' technique could be applied in both normal and full power modes.
What can't be done in the normal state might be achievable in full power mode.
It's like how Ye Weiming's Corpse Handling technique could use a straw mat or a high-level corpse lifting tool.
The difference was, to increase the power of Non-fish's technique, what was needed wasn't Gold, but Merit Value, which is equivalent to contributions to other sects.
The cost of ten merit points per time was heavy.
After all, ten merit points were enough for him to cultivate Inner Strength for ten hours in the sect's cultivation room, with double experience points!
As for how much improvement to Inner Strength proficiency could be gained in these 10 hours?
