The night was beautiful, with stars filling the sky.
Atop Mount Compass, Pang Feng sat in his Cultivation Cave Mansion, meticulously surrounded by seventy-two Spirit Communicating jade stones.
"For the sake of Jade Marrow, I've drained my entire fortune! And now I'm in debt up to my ears!" Pang Feng muttered.
The main reason he ended his solitary cultivation after one year was the lack of resources; despite having access to Warehouse Number Five's resources, the resources consumed by solitary cultivation were enormous. Especially since his cultivation base had reached the Jade Bone stage, ordinary Genius Earth Treasures like Century-old Ginseng and Hundred-Year Polygonum Multiflorum had to be consumed almost daily, totaling over a thousand a year.
What's more, to craft Magical Treasures, Pang Feng had to use jade stones, and he also needed Spirit Communicating jade stones from Warehouse Number Five, which he had completely emptied.
