Xin Lin only realized now that as her cultivation improved, even high-level Qi Stones couldn't keep up with her daily cultivation demands.
Just the Heavenly Fire Vein within her was enough to drain two high-level Qi Stones.
That was only when Xin Lin was concocting Four-star Spiritual Cuisine. If she wanted to make Five-star Spiritual Cuisine, two high-level Qi Stones wouldn't be nearly enough.
Moreover, unlike typical cultivators, Xin Lin had to rely on Qi Stones to maintain her form.
She had several dozen high-level Qi Stones on hand, but those were all from this mission at the Daffodil Chamber of Commerce, and couldn't withstand regular use.
Since gaining two Spirit Martial Meridians, Xin Lin had been refining Qi Stones using Five Elements Gathering Qi less often.
It wasn't laziness; rather, the recovery effect of high-level Qi Stones was too poor. They consumed more effort and were somewhat counterproductive.
