Hearing Mo Shan say it would only take five Spirit Stones, Zhou Cheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide before he earnestly said,
"Brother Mo, this isn't right... How about I give you another five?"
He thought about giving more, but he really had no more Spirit Stones.
He had quietly inquired in Tongxian City; to have a single Iron Armor Formation drawn, those Formation Masters would generally charge fifty Spirit Stones, and only the newer, less confident Formation Masters would ask for thirty Spirit Stones—the absolute lowest price.
After returning home last night, he fretted for a long time, unsure of how much Mo Shan would charge. Today, however, when he came to ask, Mo Shan only requested five Spirit Stones from him, leaving him feeling quite remorseful.
Mo Shan patted his shoulder and said, "Use the extra Spirit Stones to buy some good-quality Spiritual Ink. We're both doing this for the child, so please don't refuse."
