Without waiting for Ning Fan to explain, Li Yuanhua had already filled in the blanks in his mind.
"Indeed, I rarely use Spirit Stones within the sect," Ning Fan went on with Li Yuanhua's assumptions.
"I thought as much, but this is going to be troublesome, Brother Xu. During the auction, if you don't have an entrance fee, you can't enter the city."

Even if a disciple is highly valued by their sect, shouldn't they at least know about Spirit Stones?
Could he be an impostor?
Soon, it was time for the two to enter the city.
