After descending the mountain, Lin Yitang headed straight for the teleportation array in the central region.

She heard that by using the teleportation array, she could instantly reach the central region, saving a lot of travel time.

However, when she arrived at the teleportation array and saw the price list posted by the person in charge, she couldn't help but gasp.

"A single teleportation costs a thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

Lin Yitang clicked her tongue inwardly in amazement.

Although she had earned some spirit stones, a thousand low-grade spirit stones was a considerable sum for anyone.

Especially for disciples in the Qi Refining stage, a dozen or a hundred low-grade spirit stones are already a lot in their eyes, let alone thousands of low-grade spirit stones. How could a disciple who has just left the sect possibly afford to pay for them?

Therefore, many disciples traveled there on their own, following the city's path, which took several days to reach the destination. However, with several days passing, the secret realm would have opened, and Lin Yitang could not possibly spend that much time.

As she hesitated, an elderly man who looked like he frequently used teleportation arrays noticed her predicament and kindly suggested, "Young lady, if you think the teleportation array is too expensive, you might as well take a flying boat. Although flying boats are slower, the cost is much cheaper."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang's eyes lit up. She quickly thanked the old man and headed towards the airship's docking point in the direction he pointed out.

However, when she arrived at the airship docking point and inquired about the prices, she discovered that even airships weren't cheap. A single trip cost two to three hundred low-grade spirit stones. The price difference was calculated based on the different levels of room rates.

More importantly, while airships are cheaper than teleportation arrays, they still take a considerable amount of time.

Even by air, it would take several hours to reach the destination, no matter how fast the speed.

In other words, traveling to the central region would take several days, flying boats would take several hours, while teleportation arrays would only take an instant. If one wanted to get there as quickly as possible, teleportation arrays were undoubtedly the best choice.

Although it costs spirit stones, for cultivators, time is probably more valuable than spirit stones.

Lin Yitang considered it for a moment, then took out her communication jade and sent a message to Li Lingxuan.

"Junior Brother Li, could you lend me a thousand low-grade spirit stones? I need them urgently, and I'll pay you back when I have them."

Soon, Li Lingxuan replied: "No problem, Senior Sister Lin. Go find a magic item shop nearby called Baoxuan. The owner of that shop is our alliance's informant. He has our spirit stone reserves there."

Lin Yitang nodded upon hearing this and hurriedly went to the magic item shop.

After identifying herself to the shopkeeper, she was given a bag of spirit stones. Lin Yitang opened the bag and saw that there were indeed a thousand low-grade spirit stones inside.

She carefully put away the spirit stones and returned to the teleportation array. After handing the spirit stones to the person in charge, they allowed her to enter the teleportation array.

Lin Yitang entered the formation and found that there were already nearly ten people waiting inside. Some were sitting, some were standing, and their expressions varied.

Closest to the center of the teleportation array was a male cultivator dressed in magnificent robes, who looked extremely wealthy. Beside him stood a young maidservant, holding a folding fan to cool him down.

Further out was a burly man. He was shirtless, revealing his well-developed muscles. At that moment, he was chewing jerky with great gusto, his breathing powerful.

There was also an elderly man with white hair, holding a cane, who was resting with his eyes closed, equally unfathomable.

In addition, there were several young men and women chatting and laughing. They were dressed smartly and looked like disciples of a large family or sect.

In short, none of them are simple people. The evidence is that the cultivation level of some of them is not even visible, meaning that at least half of them are at least at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Lin Yitang felt a chill run down her spine; it seemed that the central region was not an easy place to get by.

She found an empty spot, sat cross-legged, and silently circulated her internal energy to adjust her state.

Soon, the person in charge of the teleportation array arrived at the front of the array, made hand seals, and activated the array.

A flash of light appeared, and the teleportation array slowly activated.

Lin Yitang felt a blur before her eyes, followed by a dizzying spin, and the surrounding scenery began to distort and deform. She closed her eyes, silently recited an incantation, and calmed her mind.

Within the teleportation array, time seemed to stand still. Lin Yitang could not sense the passage of time, nor could she perceive any changes in space. All she could hear was the humming of the array in operation.

After an unknown amount of time, the teleportation array suddenly vibrated. Lin Yitang opened her eyes and found that the teleportation had stopped, and she was now on a street in the central area.

The central area was bustling and lively, with people coming and going, and a complex atmosphere. The air was filled with various spiritual scents, which made her stare wide-eyed in surprise and her spirits lifted.

She looked around and found herself standing in a vast plaza. In the center of the plaza stood a colossal statue of an immortal wielding a long sword. The statue was so lifelike that it seemed as if it might leap from its pedestal at any moment.

The square was surrounded by various shops and restaurants. The sounds of vendors hawking their wares, haggling over prices, and laughter filled the air. Lin Yitang even caught a whiff of an enticing aroma, as if a restaurant was preparing delicious food.

She looked around and found that the cultivators here all possessed extraordinary auras.

There were elderly men with white hair, handsome young men, and beautiful female immortals. Without exception, they were all very powerful; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that there were many powerful figures among them.

Lin Yitang clicked her tongue in amazement. Was this the central region? She couldn't tell the cultivation level of many cultivators on the street; it was as if Foundation Establishment cultivators were everywhere.

Is this the real world of cultivation? It's no exaggeration to say that there are countless powerful figures. It seems that even if I break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, I will still face life-threatening dangers at any time.

However, this was just one of the cultivation cities, and it was still quite safe. Lin Yitang wasn't afraid of encountering so many high-level cultivators.

On the contrary, she felt a surge of excitement. The purpose of training was to see things she had never seen before, to encounter powerful individuals. Without powerful individuals, training would be meaningless.

Just as she was about to take out a map to see where the Heavenly Spirit Secret Realm was, a male cultivator suddenly appeared in front of her.

He was dressed in a blue long robe, handsome, with a confident smile on his lips.

"Junior sister, you seem to be new here. Do you need any help?" the male cultivator asked warmly.

Lin Yitang was taken aback, then realized what was going on. This male cultivator was the kind often seen in cultivation novels, someone who specialized in guiding new cultivators and selling maps in order to earn some spirit stones.

She politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, senior brother, but I have my own map and don't need your help."

However, the male cultivator remained incredibly enthusiastic: "Junior sister, you're new here and probably don't know the area well. Why don't I show you the way and take you to where you want to go?"

"Really, it's not necessary, Senior Brother. I can find a place myself," Lin Yitang declined again. She didn't have many spirit stones left and really didn't want to spend any more money.

Seeing Lin Yitang's continued refusal, the male cultivator's tone became somewhat urgent for some reason, "Junior Sister, I think you've just come out of the sect for training. The outside world isn't as safe as the sect. There are many dangerous places that you new disciples don't know about. I advise you to find someone familiar with the terrain to guide you, otherwise you'll find it difficult to move an inch!"
