After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

"Sister, brother-in-law, are you really going to send me to a sect to become an apprentice? But I don't want to be separated from you."

Ever since Xu Qinghe learned that his family wanted him to join a sect and become an apprentice, he had been unwilling and had tried every means to persuade his family to change their minds.

"Dog Egg, didn't we already tell you that this is the best thing for you? You should know that the Nine Yang Sect is one of the five major immortal cultivation sects in the Lingchuan Realm. If it weren't for your top-grade fire spirit root, we wouldn't even dare to think about it."

After Xu Maoye finished persuading him, Xu Jingheng also began to persuade him, "Son, didn't your sister's friend say that the alchemists of the Nine Yang Sect are the most famous in the Lingchuan Realm, and your top-grade fire spirit root is just right to be a natural alchemist?"

"For the sake of your future, you can no longer cultivate with your sister and the others. Besides, after we send you to the Nine Yang Sect to become an apprentice, we will find a place to stay near the sect, and you can go home whenever you have time."

"Xu Qing, what else are you dissatisfied with? Just treat this as a normal trip to school, it's not like you're a baby who needs to be fed milk, why can't you leave your family like this?"

Hearing her older sister say that about her, Xu Qinghe blushed and shouted, "Who wants milk? I just can't bear to part with you all. You're so mean, sister."

"Hehehe, Uncle wants to drink milk, so Little Candy and Brother don't want to drink milk anymore." With the little girl coaxing him like this, Xu Qinghe couldn't bring himself to refuse.

The Nine Yang Sect is located in the Fire Phoenix Mountain Range, east of Baiyun Town in Sifang City. To get from Longyin to Sifang City, one has to pass through more than a dozen large cities.

It should be noted that the cities in the Lingchuan Realm are different from those on Blue Star; the distance between cities is at least tens of thousands of miles.

Not to mention that traveling by airship would take too long to traverse the distance of more than a dozen cities, the high-level demonic beasts in the desolate lands along the way are not something that two mere Nascent Soul cultivators can overcome.

Fortunately, there are special teleportation arrays between each city, otherwise they would have no way to get to Sifang City.

However, the spirit stones required for teleportation are not cheap. Yu Jinchen went out to inquire and found that each person would need to pay 100 high-grade spirit stones for each teleportation. After passing through more than a dozen cities to reach Sifang City, the cost would be more than 1,000.

Xu Qingman estimated that her family of nine would need at least ten thousand high-grade spirit stones to reach Sishui City. No wonder many independent cultivators rarely had the opportunity to travel far; the travel expenses alone were prohibitive for most.

Because of this, Xu Jingheng gave Xu Qinghe another lecture, telling him to cultivate diligently after entering the Nine Yang Sect, so that he could ride on the flying boat of a powerful figure in the sect the next time he went out.

Thinking that they wouldn't be coming to Dragon Hidden City again for the next few years, and that the family would need a lot of spirit stones once they arrived in a major cultivation city like Four Directions City.

Xu Qingman and her husband decided to sell a batch of their spiritual herbs and fruits here first, so as to save up more spirit stones.

To avoid being recognized, the two carefully disguised themselves as two middle-aged cultivators. After being altered by modern makeup techniques, they were so convincing that even their own family members wouldn't recognize them unless a high-level cultivator specifically investigated.

In several shops, they sold various medicinal herbs such as Fire Lotus, Ten-Thousand-Year Blood Ginseng, and Vitality Fruit, and even one Heavenly Origin Fruit.

Anyway, there are still fruits from the Tree of Life, and if necessary, our own family will definitely try to use the best.

When they returned to the inn, they had over 20,000 high-grade spirit stones in their inventory. Adding what they had left over, they now had nearly 200,000.

As for the several thousand top-grade spirit stones they had previously mined in the Thundercloud Island secret realm, with their current cultivation level, they dared not use them at all.

It seems that we won't lack spirit stones for at least the next few years.

They had already found out that the teleportation array to Tianshui City would open that afternoon. So as soon as they sold the spiritual herbs, the family immediately went to the location of the teleportation gate to buy tickets.

The main problem is that each teleportation requires a huge amount of spirit stones, so the city lord's mansion will only activate the teleportation array once a time when at least two hundred people are gathered.

If they don't leave today, who knows how long they'll have to wait for the next opportunity. The two of them sold several precious spiritual herbs in Dragon Hidden City today, which will definitely attract the attention of those with ulterior motives. If they don't run now, are they going to wait until they are recognized?

They waited at the teleportation array for less than half an hour before the teleportation time arrived. The family handed their teleportation tickets to the guards at the array and entered one by one.

Once everyone had arrived, the guards placed several top-grade spirit stones into the array's core one by one. In the blink of an eye, everyone's vision went black, and they had already spent one hundred high-grade spirit stones.

Emerging from the teleportation array, Xu Jingheng was filled with disbelief. "It feels like less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, and we're already in Tianshui City, thousands of miles away?"

Xu Meifen nodded in agreement, "Yes, if we were to fly on our own swords, it would take at least two or three hours, right?"

“Father, Mother, it would take us two or three hours to get there on our own. You know, from Dragon Hidden City to Tianshui City, we have to pass through the Blood Mist Mountains.”

That place is fraught with danger; without the accompaniment of a powerful expert at the Nascent Soul stage or above, it's impossible to get there.

Xu Qingman also smiled and advised, "That's right, Dad, Mom, your son-in-law didn't scare you. Don't worry about those spirit stones, safety comes first."

A cultivator who had come from Dragon Hidden City with them couldn't help but speak up, "Haha, brother, just listen to the kids, don't be stingy with these spirit stones."

I heard that a few years ago, two Nascent Soul cultivators, refusing to believe in such superstitions, flew through the Blood Mist Mountains on their swords, only to never emerge again.

"Yes, I've heard about that too. Those two were disciples of a major sect, and they had all sorts of defensive magic items on them, but they still couldn't get out of Blood Mist Mountain."

"That's right. We still have to spend spirit stones when necessary. Nothing is more important than life. We cultivators have worked so hard to achieve some results, we can't lose our lives just to save a couple of spirit stones."

From the conversations of those around them, Xu Jingheng and his wife finally stopped feeling bad about the spirit stones they had spent and realized that life was more important.

"I told you, you two have nothing to be so sorry for, right? Just do whatever arrangements you make for the kids, instead of always causing trouble for them."

After speaking, Xu Maoye glanced at his son and daughter-in-law, whose arrogant expressions were simply unbearable to look at.

The old man seemed to have forgotten how heartbroken he was when he saw his granddaughter buying tickets, almost fainting from heartache.

When they left the teleportation array, the family went to another teleportation point to inquire about the teleportation time. They learned that they would have to wait another ten days, so they had no choice but to go into the city and find an inn to stay in.

No wonder Meng Lanzhou and the other man said earlier that we should carefully consider going to the Four Directions Domain. Getting there wouldn't just involve spending a huge amount of teleportation fees.

If the waiting time for teleportation in each city is too long, the accommodation fee alone can be a considerable expense.

When the group finally set foot on the land of Sifang City after more than three months, the family had spent a total of more than 18,000 high-grade spirit stones.

This amount is not something that ordinary families in the Lingchuan Realm can afford, even among cultivation families.
