'In the Cultivation Realm, this paltry amount of Spiritual Power would be nothing. I'd only need to circulate my Cultivation Technique a few times to get it back.'
'But this is the Lower Realm, where Spiritual Qi is scarce.'
'Even if I circulate my Cultivation Technique at full power, I can't absorb much Spiritual Power, let alone recover. Every bit I use is a bit I lose for good.'
'And I still have so much to do. Not only do I have to feed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, but I also have to reserve enough Spiritual Power to test that World-Devouring Whale and see if I can capture it.'
'On top of that, my funds have been tight recently.'
'I didn't bring many Elixirs to replenish my Spiritual Power, either...'
At this thought, the Cultivator felt things were getting a bit tricky. 'If all the Martial Artists in this Lower Realm are this tenacious, I might be in for a real fight this time!'
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner had devoured a great many souls.
