Chapter 89: Choosing Merits
Zheng Fa received his Life Plate and followed Han Qi out of the Affairs Hall, heading towards the Scripture Pavilion.
He looked at Han Qi, whose expression remained complex, with confusion in his eyes.
Ever since hearing that Zheng Fa was receiving a hundred talisman papers and two pieces of Spirit Ink every month, this man had been acting somewhat oddly.
It seemed as if he thought the extra reward was too generous.
"Zheng, you probably haven’t truly realized what I mean when I say spiritual materials are expensive," Han Qi explained, seeming to understand what he was about to ask.
Zheng Fa nodded.
"In our Jiushan Sect, one piece of Spirit Ink costs at least one Spirit Stone, and a hundred talisman papers are also worth about one Spirit Stone."
Zheng Fa did some quick math and realized that he was receiving materials equivalent to three Spirit Stones every month—three times the usual monthly salary.
"How much gold is one Spirit Stone worth?" asked Zheng Fa.
"The Affairs Hall’s purchasing ratio for Spirit Stones is two hundred taels of gold for one Spirit Stone..."
Zheng Fa quickly calculated.
