He chuckled and said to himself, "For sure, they won't want to lend me their Core Metac easily. But I'm sure that I can convince them to help me out."
He is powerful and will become even more powerful once he earns enough merit points to buy a high Dao Status, so he is not concerned about convincing rank 4 cultivators to lend him their Core Metacs. As for the energy nexus requirement, that will be very difficult for him to meet because he has a lot of energy threads.
Even the most talented person, like Slav, only needs to fuse 95 energy threads. Compared to Slav, he will need to do more than 4.5 times the work to create his energy nexus.
Compared to the minimum requirement of 50 energy threads, he will need to do 8.6 times the amount of work. And this is just for now, when he hasn't raised his talent to the limit.
