"Exactly! As long as one cultivates to Bone Pass, a person can gain thirty more years of 'working age'. Now, let's compare the cost of cultivating to the Third Stage, just talking about those with mediocre talent."
"Starting with an expense of 300 taels, focusing on cultivation for five years and upwards, but it can't be calculated like this." Xu Zishuai shook his head, "A farmer, when the harvest is good, might earn fifteen or sixteen taels a year, about forty coins a day. But much of it goes to basic living expenses, eating, drinking, clothing, can't save any, especially when the harvest is poor."
"A farmer earns fifteen or sixteen a year, but can't a Martial Artist at the Third Stage double their earnings? Besides, thirty years at the Third Stage aren't thirty years for a farmer. Rather, it should be seventy years at the Third Stage!"
"Seventy years?"
"It's unrealistic for them to save 300 taels themselves, but what if someone is willing to lend it?"
"Who?"
