After leaving Pang City, Yusri and Melia flew straight towards Liang City. However, due to Yusri's low cultivation base, they needed plenty of rest between their journeys.
"I'm going to eat the Mountain Lord's monster core now," Yusri said suddenly during their third break.
A while later, he stuffed the monster core into his mouth like a piece of candy before swallowing its sweetness.

«311,000,000 Qi has been refined from the Black» Beast Monster Core

«+3.000 Statistics»
480,500,000/615,360,000
After consuming the Mountain Lord Monster Core, Yusri could feel his depleted energy instantly recover to the brim and more.
He then turned to look at his status screen.

Looking at this large amount, Yusri could not help but wonder if it was normal for a Cultivator at his level to have such high stats.
He then looked at his available skills.

«Consume Technique Heaven» «Mastering Level: 2»

Despite having so many techniques at hand, Yusri feels like he only has one or two of using the same techniques over and over again. However, it was not as if there was a need for him to use another technique when the Bloody Sword Strike was more than enough to handle most threats easily.
"Are you okay, Brother Yusri?" Melia asked him in a worried tone after noticing that she had been staring at the empty air with a dazed face, worried that she might end up going crazy from eating too many monster cores.
"Oh, I'm fine. I was just thinking about something" he said moments later.
"After all, let's continue our journey now that I'm full of energy again."
Melia nodded, and they returned to the sky shortly afterwards.
"Do we need another break?" Melia asked him an hour later.
Yusri shook his head and spoke in a relaxed tone, "No, I am still filled with energy. I can't believe how strong I am from just one level."
"The higher your cultivation, the more difference between each level." Melia told him.
After flying another hour, Yusri finally started to feel tired, so they rested for half an hour, and they continued this routine until they reached Liang City.
"Finally... I can finally see the city!" Yusri spoke with teary eyes as he looked at the high city walls in the distance. It had been more than 12 hours since they left Pang City, and the entire journey was mentally exhausting for someone like Yusri who had never traveled this distance in one go before.
Some time later, they descended near the entrance where there was a long queue of people waiting to enter the city.
However, when the guards saw how Yusri and Melia appeared out of nowhere from the sky, they instantly ignored the people in line and rushed towards them.
"Welcome to our Liang City, Senior Cultivator. If there's anything you need, let us help you." The guards spoke after politely bowing to them.
"We are here for Teleportation Devices" Yusri said. "It's here, right?"
"That's right. Our Liang City does have a Teleportation Device. However, it has a travel distance limit of 70,000 miles."
"That's more than enough. I only intend to travel to Spring City, which should be about 30,000 miles."
"I understand. Please come with me, I will take you to the Teleportation Device."
Yusri nods and follows one of the guards to the city while the other guards return to help others.
Some time later, they reached the center of Liang City, where the Teleportation Device was in the middle of a crowded square street.
"That's a Teleportation Device?" Yusri raised his eyebrows in shock after seeing a large circular object that seemed to be made of some kind of metal material. It looked like a huge round mirror but without glass in the middle, and there was even a stage right in front of it.
"Is there anything else you need from me, Senior?" The guard asked them after they arrived.
"No, this is all... Thank you for taking the time to bring us here." Yusri said to him.
"Please, you don't even have to mention it. I'm just doing my job."
The guard left a moment later, leaving Yusri and Melia standing in front of the Teleportation Device.
"Where do you want to go?" An old man with a deep aura standing beside the Teleportation Device suddenly spoke to Yusri after noticing their presence.
"The Spring City" he said.
"The Spring City, yes. That's gonna be 30,247 miles from here." The old man said to him.
"How much does it cost?"
"350,000 gold coins." The old man quickly responded.
'That much?!' Yusri was crying in his heart. Even though he had prepared himself for it, the price still shocked him greatly.
Seeing Yusri's astonished expression, the old man said, "It takes a huge amount of spiritual energy to operate the Teleportation Device; it's only natural that it costs this much."
"Do you still want to use it?"
Yusri quickly nodded, "Yes, I did."
The old man then extended his contorted hand towards Yusri, signaling him for payment.
Seeing this, Yusri sighed inwardly before taking out his storage bag and handing the money to the old man.
