This was also a form of expression made by the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom’s royal family.
The royal family’s Desolate Heaven Master Yuehua came to the Tai Ah Divine City personally to become an Elder and hold Desolate Heaven technique lessons.
Everyone knew that Yuehua was only here to teach one person. And that person was Luo Huo’er! It was just out of convenience that Yuehua would take on the other Desolate Heaven technique apprentices as well.
Even though the other cultivators, who focused on the Desolate Heaven technique, knew that they were just side characters, they were still overjoyed. They had gained something great all thanks to Luo Huo’er.
But when Grandmaster Yuehua’s class details were released, many cultivators were dumbfounded.
Each lesson held by Elder Yuehua’s would cost 3000 dragon scale runes in tuition!
Tuition fees were paid monthly, which meant that one would have to pay 9000 dragon scale runes a month!
It was too expensive!
Many Desolate Heaven Master apprentices could not afford such high fees. Only those ranked at the top of the Man roll of honor would barely be able to afford Grandmaster Yuehua’s lessons.
Although many were disappointed, they knew the reason behind the expensive fee.
Just from Grandmaster Yuehua’s name alone, many cultivators would come in droves. Even cultivators who had never come into contact with the Desolate Heaven technique would join the class just for fun. Even if they could not understand a thing, just seeing Grandmaster Yuehua was good enough for them.
When that happened, how could Grandmaster Yuehua teach with the lecture hall so full?
Hence the 9000 dragon scale runes was used as a barrier to entry.
Those who could pay the 9000 dragon scale runes would be people with some attainment in the Desolate Heaven technique. As for those who just wanted to see Grandmaster Yuehua, they would stop here as no one would pay 9000 dragon scale runes just to join in for fun.
