Sword God in a World of Magic

A couple of months later, Shang got contacted by the Territory Lord again.

The Congregation was happy with Shang's progress, and they decided to give him funding worth 200 Grade Six Mana Crystals.

200 Grade Six Mana Crystals.

That was an insane amount of money, and this was just one payment. Shang had already gotten quite a lot from the Temple of Blood, and they would continue supporting him in the future.

One had to remember that 200 Grade Six Mana Crystals represented 200 years of condensing Mana for an Ancestral Mage, and Shang wasn't even in the Sixth Realm.

After looking at the available funds, the Territory Lord came up with the best way for Shang to comprehend the Concept of Subtraction, but she needed to talk with the Congregation again.

When the Territory Lord talked to the Congregation, she was offering something.

An investment.

Of course, that investment would consume a huge amount of resources, and 200 Grade Six Mana Crystals wasn't enough.

However, the 200 Grade Six Mana Crystals had already been promised to Shang, and they essentially viewed them as losses.

But if Shang were willing to spend these 200 Grade Six Mana Crystals to ease the cost of the investment, it wouldn't be so bad for the Temple of Blood.

After a lot of convincing, the Congregation finally listened to the Territory Lord and agreed.
