In Yang Lanxin's view, their only way to return to the Forty-Nine Immortal City was to encounter a starship here and hitch a ride with favorable winds.
Of course, it would be best if the other party was an Immortal City force mining ores, rather than pirates of the Star Sea!
Being idle was just as well, for who knew when a starship might pass by; since Zhou Heng was interested in exploring this continent, she naturally wouldn't spoil the mood, especially since Zhou Heng was precisely the person she was very keen on winning over.
Unfortunately, this continent was floating in the universe; even if they discovered extremely precious metal deposits, and even if they could return immediately to Immortal City, once they set out from Immortal City again, the continent would have drifted elsewhere by the time they arrived.
