Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality

The further they walked, the more lively the place became. Some hawking sounds could be heard, and there were even quite a few middlemen introducing something to the newly arrived monks.

After He Ling walked for a while, a woman with three flower hairpins on her hair stopped her.

The woman was originally just looking at a beautiful female figure from a distance. When she got closer, her eyes lit up and she stepped forward to stand in front of He Ling.

He Ling looked a little unhappy, but since she had just arrived, she couldn't get angry. She just said politely, "Fellow Daoist, you are blocking me, is there something wrong?"

The woman giggled and put her hand on He Ling's shoulder. "You're stopping me this time, so what's going on?"

He Ling moved her shoulders, causing her hand to fall empty. A hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she didn't show it at all.

The woman first looked He Ling over before saying, "Sister, you must have just arrived in Xilan City?"

He Ling did not answer, but stared at the person in front of him expressionlessly. The black dog behind him also stood up.

The woman had a pair of fox eyes and a flower mark between her eyebrows. Her face looked a little shrewd. She looked to be in her thirties, with three unknown flower hairpins in her hair. She looked like the proprietress of some place, or a calculating person.

Judging from his cultivation level, he is roughly at the seventh level of Qi training, having just entered the late stage of Qi training. His cultivation level is slightly higher than He Ling's.

Facing He Ling's silence, the woman in front of her seemed not to notice. Perhaps because she had been waiting for a long time, she asked again, "Sister, why don't you speak?"

"It's nothing. I see all strangers like this." He Ling smiled slightly and said.

"Sister, have you just arrived in Xilan City?" the woman repeated with a smile.

He Ling thought about it and nodded. She wanted to see what this woman was up to.

The woman continued, "Then I have to congratulate my sister. I found a Tianxin grass in Luoyuan Canyon a while ago..."

Hearing this, He Ling rolled her eyes and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested."

After saying that, he walked around the woman and went straight to the front. The woman hurriedly caught up with him and said, "My dear sister, you may not know the magical use of Tianxin Grass."

"Tianxin Grass, one of the main ingredients for the Barrier Breaking Pill used by Foundation Establishment cultivators, is extremely valuable. I naturally know that."

The woman was stunned. "Then you still..."

"I've already told you, I'm not interested."

He Ling shook her head and walked around the woman again, heading straight ahead. There were many cultivators here, so she was not afraid that the woman would suddenly attack her.

These days, even the salesmanship hasn't improved. Fraud has to keep up with the times, He Ling complained in his heart as he walked.

The woman looked at He Ling's departing back, and a red light flashed in her eyes.

When I arrived at the city gate, I saw three big words "Xilan City" on the top of the city wall. A gray-robed monk was sitting at the gate. People entering the city lined up obediently. The gray-robed monk's aura was not hidden. He was actually a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He Ling was also surprised and had a new understanding of Xilan City.

After paying the entrance fee of twenty spirit stones, the gray-robed monk gave He Ling a wooden token and did not say a word to him otherwise.

As soon as you enter the city, you will see a well-organized scene. Compared with mortal cities, the cities of immortal cultivators are more luxurious. The floor tiles are made of green jade, not to mention the high-rise towers that are more than ten stories high. However, compared with the hustle and bustle of mortal cities, Xilan City is much quieter.

Yes, we are all cultivators, and everyone has the dream of building a foundation pill. Most people with weak minds choose to live a life of wealth and glory in the mortal world and rarely come here.

He randomly picked a person. He was a little reluctant at first, but when He Ling put a spirit stone in his hand, he suddenly became enthusiastic.

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic young man, He Ling came to the center of Xilan City, a circular building, which was the location of the teleportation array of Xilan City.

After a while, He Ling came out with her mouth slightly open. She looked back at the circular building and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's ridiculously expensive." He Ling checked the price. Short-distance teleportation cost 400,000 low-grade spirit stones, or 40,000 medium-grade spirit stones. Long-distance teleportation cost 1 million low-grade spirit stones, or 100,000 medium-grade spirit stones. With He Ling's current wealth, he could only afford a single short-distance teleportation array. However, Xuanyuan Sect was on another continent, so the number of teleportations required was much more than just one. Even for long-distance teleportation, the distance was only about a thousand miles.

According to He Ling's calculations, in order to reach Zhongzhou, one would have to teleport from various teleportation points at least dozens of times in succession, and would have to pass through a cross-continental teleportation array in the middle. It was also unknown how many spirit stones were needed to reach Zhongzhou. The amount of spirit stones required could be described as massive.

Although He Ling has no shortage of means to obtain spirit stones now, it is unknown how long it will take to save up so many spirit stones. He Ling immediately gave up the idea of saving spirit stones. The only remaining way is to cross half the continent and walk directly.

Although this is a stupid method, it is much more feasible and reliable than saving spirit stones. However, if she were to cross the continent, with her current strength in the Qi Refining Stage, it would be simply courting death.

He Ling quickly determined the goal, which was to let Qing'er break through the foundation-building stage first. And there was no need to rely entirely on walking. If the teleportation point was nearby, she could just walk there, and if it was far away, she could take the teleportation array.

Afterwards, He Ling went to the place where caves could be rented in Xilan City. It was indeed a big city, and even renting a D-grade cave required spirit stones. However, after asking around, He Ling still spent more than 8,000 spirit stones to rent a C-grade cave. D-grade caves were smaller and did not have spirit gathering arrays. Although C-grade caves were more expensive, they were of a much higher grade. For some, C-grade caves were still the best.

After obtaining the cave's restriction token, He Ling arrived at a hillside. This hillside was somewhat peculiar, as the caves of Xilan City were built layer upon layer. However, He Ling was only slightly surprised and didn't take it too seriously. He walked to the second level of the hillside and injected a trace of magic power into the token.

With the infusion of mana, the cave's entrance automatically opened. He Ling entered the cave, and the scene within surprised him somewhat. The cave in Xilan City better fit his conception of the word "cave." It was surrounded by stone walls, with only the last ten or so meters affording a view of the sky. Despite the protection of the formation, this enclosed environment reminded He Ling of renting a house in the city.

Back then, she also lived in a small room, facing four walls every day, and her life seemed a bit monotonous and depressing. And now, this cave gave her the same feeling, as if she was trapped in a small space, isolated from the outside world.

Looking at the cave, and remembering the huge transportation fee, He Ling muttered to himself, "Why does it feel like I'm paying off a mortgage?"
