Dammit!
It was still tough being a disciple of a supersect even if it had stacks of benefits attached to it.
Just a casual sword skill was already cost this much and it was hell difficult to think of how much a more standard sword skill might cost.
After all, since Xiao Ming himself had purchased the Rustling Shadow Sword skill at barely one thousand contribution points, in the real essence, he had spent nearly a million on merely a singular sword skill which was simply expensive.
If Xiao Ming happened to be in a subsect like the Overbearing Cloud Sect for instance, even if he spent an entire decade under the running of the sect's resources solely on him, they might not be willing to buy something at this cost for him as their own sources were quite meagre.
But that was the difference between the subsect and the supersect which simply meant that the latter had more resources to train her disciples when compared to the former.
