Inside the cave residence.
Zhang Yao was still contemplating, comparing himself with Foundation Establishment cultivators from multiple angles:
"In terms of magical power, mine is more abundant than that of an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, but there's a considerable gap in purity, overall I'm at a disadvantage."
"In terms of magical artifacts, it should be a tie, neither side has an advantage."
The power of a spiritual artifact far exceeds that of a top-grade magical artifact, but its price starts at ten times the latter.
Many newly promoted early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators cannot afford to use spiritual artifacts; they cannot afford even a single piece without bankrupting themselves and have to make do with top-grade magical artifacts.
