Poverty in literature and wealth in martial arts are not without reason.
Once cultivation reaches a certain level, ordinary food and drink can only satisfy one's appetite; food imbued with spiritual power is needed.
Ordinary white rice, no matter how much you eat, won't produce any spiritual energy; but spirit rice... the price of a pound is enough to feed a household of five on regular rice for half a year!
And this is just relatively ordinary spirit rice.
If you have some resources and some money, and you don't quickly buy good items when you find them, then when you urgently need them, you might not find them anywhere in Baiyun State!
So each one of them is truly poor. And most people don't have the same channels as Mr. Fang: the young masters of the Wei Wo Zheng Sect provide resources, this one gives, that one gives, the entire Yixin Sect supports him... and on this side, Dongfang Sansan gives resources... Baiyun Martial Academy indulges him...
