For his identity as the Tai Yin Sword Master, Ling Yunpo naturally had been prepared for the need to recharge and pay renewal fees every time he used his power.
The reason was simple: if Ah Jing could burn spiritual power without any burden and allow him to use the Tai Yin Summoning Sword three hundred and sixty-five days a year, he would have long since gone to attack the Four Sects and seized every fragment of the Heaven-Mending Stone. Why would he need to play the game of being an Endless mole?
The existence of the Tai Yin Summoning Sword served not only as a trump card in a strategic nuclear sense but was more often used for conventional deterrence and the spread of reputation.
The former goes without saying, with the four petals of Mount Emei still standing there!
The latter, of course, needs no further explanation, as the identity of the Tai Yin Sword Master actually means far more to the sword cultivators of the world than the strength he could exert himself.
