Xuan Tang Xingjun, standing before the dragon stele, saw her face go deathly pale and sent a mental message: "Go buy a Stabilizing Spirit Pill now; the Nourishing Spirit Pills you took earlier help with Foundation Establishment, but they can't resist the spatial force of an ultra-long-distance teleport."

However, this pill is only sold at the teleportation halls of major immortal cities; elsewhere it can only be bought on the black market at a higher price.

Translation: But this pill is only supplied for export from the transmission halls of major immortal cities; elsewhere it can only be bought at a higher price on the black market.

"……" The pure young lady's face flushed red with anger, but unfortunately Jiang Yu closed the door too quickly and didn't see it.

……

"Finally I can lie on the bed, this day and night of tossing about was enough." In the inn, Jiang Yu finished her cultivation, flung herself onto the bed, it was wonderful beyond words.

Xuantang Xingjun spoke coolly: "It's your fault for buying too many pills at once, making you look like a fat sheep in others' eyes."

"I can't go buy one pill every day, I don't have the time." Moreover, it's easier to attract notice from that group; Jiang Yu heard from the guarding cultivator that those people have been watching people for years.

"I want to sleep heavily for three days, just in time for the second day of the second month when the dragon raises its head to set out." She said that and fell asleep instantly; after nearly two years of continuous seclusion, she was truly exhausted.

Cultivation can refresh the mind, but it's far less comfortable than sleep.

Three days later, Jiang Yu changed her appearance and once again stood on the teleportation array.

But just as she was about to teleport, she was blocked by a suddenly entering Golden Core cultivator.
