"Depending on the grade of the spirit vein, the amount of spirit stones collected each year varies. For a Tier 2 Lower Grade spirit vein, five thousand spirit stones are collected annually; for a Tier 2 Mid-Grade, ten thousand; and for a Tier 2 Upper Grade, fifteen thousand."
Hearing this, Xu Feng let out a silent breath of relief. Although the sect was quite ruthless in its demands, he could easily afford this amount of spirit stones.
Still, he felt that this pricing was set somewhat too high. Just think about it—at the auction house, the highest bidding price for a single Foundation Establishment Pill was over sixty thousand spirit stones. Take a family possessing a Tier 2 Lower Grade spirit vein as an example: the spirit stones they paid in tribute over twelve or thirteen years would be enough to buy a single Foundation Establishment Pill. Wasn't that extortionate?
