In the blink of an eye, a month hurried by.
Zhangwei Mountain's Immortal Qi was far too meager. After a month and a half of cultivation, Xu Chunniang finally replenished the Immortal Qi within her body.
That day, she left half of the hundred Immortal Crystals she had earned for Little White. Carrying the only fifty-eight Immortal Crystals she had on her, she departed Zhangwei Mountain.
As she descended the mountain and passed Elder Gong's stone dwelling, Elder Gong reminded her, "Tomorrow, the mountain mist will disperse. It'll be just the right time to go up the mountain and fell Snow-Accumulating Pines. Are you sure you won't wait another two days before leaving?"

Xu Chunniang politely declined. "Felling Snow-Accumulating Pines will consume quite a bit of Immortal Qi. Replenishing the Immortal Qi used up would take quite some time again, going back and forth like this."
Elder Gong nodded slightly. "Fine. Since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more. Be careful once you get to the Fighting Arena. If anything happens to you, all the debts you owe me will fall on your younger brother."
"I understand. If all goes smoothly, I'll soon be able to repay all the money I owe you."
"Let's hope so."
Elder Gong watched Xu Chunniang leave. Only after her figure had completely vanished from sight did he withdraw his gaze, silently shake his head, and return to his stone dwelling.
After leaving Zhangwei Mountain, Xu Chunniang headed toward Floating Jade City. In less than an hour, she arrived near the city.
This time, she used only five Immortal Crystals to purchase a one-day city-entry token.
Once she joined the Fighting Arena, she would automatically become one of its members. Someone would handle her city-entry token for her then, and even
