Travel Expenses

He suddenly remembered the information the system had given him when he was in the Green Field Mystic Realm.

The fact that a mere secret realm, which is only accessible to Qi Refining cultivators, could be opened by Spirit Transformation cultivator demonstrates the immense power of its sect.

So he suddenly stopped finding it strange that Senior Liao, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, hadn't even traveled the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm.

Thinking of the Green Field Mystic Realm, he suddenly remembered something.

"Senior, what happened to your previous sect?"

Liao Pantu took a sip of tea, and seeing that he had mentioned his previous sect, he said calmly:

"You mean the Heavenly Net Sect? Over two hundred years ago, the sect leader of the Heavenly Net Sect passed away, and a friend of mine, who was the sect leader's eldest disciple, took over the position. At that time, the Heavenly Net Sect in decline, and he invited me, who was Rogue Cultivator at the time, to join. I happened to be looking to take on disciples at the time, so I joined. I never expected..."

Lin Xiao poured himself a cup of tea and said:

"So, are you still going back now?"

Upon hearing this, Liao Pantu glared at him and said:

"What? You promised to help me find the other souls and bodies, are you trying to renege on your promise?"

Lin Xiao smiled helplessly:

"How could that be? I was just worried that you might have strong feelings for your original sect."

Upon hearing this, Liao Pantu his eyes at him:

"At such a young age, you're not learning anything good—don't spend all your time learning to speak in roundabout ways!" If he truly cared for the Heavenly Net Sect, he wouldn't have been willing to leave the Heavenly Net Sect and join the Lingxian Sect just to see their sect's cultivation techniques.

Setting down his teacup, Liao Pantu turned and spoke:

"Try to feel it yourself, see how you feel."

Lin Xiao was puzzled, but he still carefully checked his body for any changes.

He then discovered that his Divine Sense seemed to be slightly stronger than before!

He looked at Liao Pantu with surprise, and saw him say with a happy expression:

"How is it? My bed made of the Soul-Nourishing Giant Wood works pretty well, doesn't it?"

Lin Xiao nodded emphatically:

"This is wonderful! If I sleep up there every day, will my Divine Sense become incredibly strong?"

"Heh, you're quite young, but you're dreaming. If that were true, I would have possessed the Divine Sense strength of the Spirit Transformation Stage or even the Void Return Stage decades ago."

"Alright, let's go out for a walk in a bit. I'll show you, you country bumpkin, what it's like in this city."

After speaking, he got up and prepared to open the restrictions placed on the cave abode so he could leave in a while.

But when he reached the entrance of the cave abode and connected with the restrictions using his Divine Sense, he discovered that someone outside was trying to forcibly break through the outermost illusion array. He raised an eyebrow.

Good heavens, he hasn't been back for decades, and people have actually come all the way here to search for treasure?

Without hesitation, he opened the outermost entrance to the illusion array and let the people outside in.

The three Qi Refining cultivators outside were about to give up after trying for a whole day and night without any response, when suddenly an entrance opened up in front of them.

The three, who had been somewhat dejected, were overjoyed upon seeing this, thinking that their previous efforts had paid off. Without much thought, they hurriedly walked into the entrance.

Upon sensing that three young people at the Qi Refining Stage stage had entered the formation, Liao Pantu was slightly taken aback, and then became somewhat displeased.

His cave abode, belonging to a Nascent Soul Cultivator, is only occupied by three Qi Refining nobodies? Who does he think he is!

It should at least be a Foundation Establishment expert!

Despite his anger, Liao Pantu still adjusted the difficulty of the illusion array a bit, hoping to scare these small fry silly, but not to death.

After all, he hadn't been back for decades, and he didn't want too many lives to be involved around his long-lost cave abode.

And who knows if these three Qi Refining brats have any powerful backers?

He doesn't yet have the ability to deal with their powerful backers; scaring them and kicking them out will suffice.

Lin Xiao, who was behind him, saw him standing at the door seemingly communicating with the defenses set up in the cave abode, so he didn't disturb him and sat down in a chair to look around.

Although he had already visited yesterday, there were still many details he hadn't noticed. Even now, looking at it again, there were still many things that surprised him.

Nascent Soul Cultivator are truly incredibly wealthy.

When will he reach that level of cultivation...?

Suddenly he saw the place where they had first arrived yesterday, where the Heaven and Earth Transposition Formation Disk was still lying quietly on the ground. He quickly went over, picked it up, and put it into his private treasury.

Thinking of the two thousand Spirit Stone he had previously invested, he was curious about how much he had spent this time, so he used the appraisal function on the Heaven and Earth Shift Disc.

[The Heaven and Earth Transposition Formation Disk, an Earth Rank array plate, can teleport you to any place you want to go (provided you know the exact location). It has a maximum capacity of five people. Spirit Stone can be added for use, and it can also be used in conjunction with Spirit Gathering Formation. The specific teleportation distance depends on the Spiritual Qi energy absorbed by the array plate and the number of people in the array. The current Spiritual Qi value of this array plate is 287 (the ratio of Spirit Stone to Spiritual Qi energy is 1:1)].

???

Lin Xiao left in disbelief and had it re-examined.

However, the current Spiritual Qi value displayed on the array plate was still 287.

He was a little confused.

Good heavens, this teleportation cost over 1,700 Spirit Stone?

So, when Senior Liao put in two thousand yuan at once before, it wasn't too much, but rather a roughly accurate amount?

If he goes back then, won't he have to spend just as many Spirit Stone again?

Suddenly, Lin Xiao, who possessed 50,000 Spirit Stone, no longer felt particularly wealthy.

Oh, the storage ring containing the Spirit Stone is still with Senior Liao.

Thinking about the expensive travel expenses, Lin Xiao felt a little heartbroken.

He needs to complete all his missions in the Immortal Cultivation Realm in one go, otherwise the travel expenses will be too painful.

At the entrance, after successfully placing the three Qi Refining shrimp into the adjusted illusion array, Liao Pantu turned around with great satisfaction, intending to call Lin Xiao to come out.

But when I turned around, I saw him looking pained.

Seeing him standing where they had met yesterday, with the Heaven and Earth Shift Disc on the ground gone again, he instantly understood why the kid was acting this way, and said with great disdain:

"Look at you, so pathetic. You're now the head of a sect with an entire Spirit Stone mine, nourished by a Spirit Stone Spirit Vein. Your starting point is already far better than many small sects. What's the big deal about two thousand Spirit Stone? I have at least a hundred thousand Spirit Stone on my roof."

Lin Xiao, who felt no comfort whatsoever, glanced at him:

"Can I pry this roof off?"

Startled, Liao Pantu immediately glared and refused, saying:

"No way! What if you pried off my roof?!"

Lin Xiao shrugged and said:

"Even if we have a mine, we still have to be frugal. I have to consider the long-term development of the sect."

As he spoke, he asked:

"Senior, let's hurry up and get out of here! I need to make the most of this time! I need to complete all the tasks I have to do in this Immortal Cultivation Realm, and then go back and cultivate properly!"
