Li Ling could still access the Whispering Blood Wing from here and knew that his first target, the second level of the Asura Blood Descent, was priced at exactly 1000 Blood Credits.
This may seem cheap, but then one must ask, why should it be expensive? In fact, it seemed more sensible to make the entire thing free for one's disciples since they had already signed on and been controlled, so why paywall it?
Any earthling would think so, and Li Ling did too, but he understood that this was the system of the cultivation world. Even for something like a technique that you had to eventually practice, they still wanted you to work for it to cultivate a sense of reverence.
Of course, that was only the Blood Asura Descent that was subsidized so cheaply. Other unique techniques and daoist arts were priced rather brutally, making it such that one had to work hard even without the penalty to afford them, much less with it on.
