Haishan City was originally a commercial hub, a Holy Land thick with the scent of commerce. No one voiced any objections when Qi Tian demanded spirit stones before agreeing to provide healing. It's just that Qi Tian's asking price was too high, not something the average person could afford, and those cultivators who could afford it were not necessarily willing to pay such a sum. As a result, in the beginning, there were very few who were willing to seek Qi Tian's assistance.
However, in such a large Sacred Cultivation Place as Haishan City, what never lacked were people of wealth and power. While the average person might have balked at the conditions posed by Qi Tian, these individuals found them quite ordinary. Not long afterwards, someone was brought to Qi Tian through the intercession of Zhang Shuguang.
