After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

When Chi Yi and her companions arrived at the city gate, there were four or five guards watching over them.

A guard glanced lazily at the group, confirming they were indeed a few fat sheep. A glint of greed flashed in his eyes as he said, "Fifty spirit stones per person to enter the city."

Jin Haoyu blurted out, "Are you robbing us? Why are you asking for so much?!" Their spirit stones didn't just fall from the sky. Besides, in other cities, you'd only get one or two spirit stones at most. This is clearly ripping people off.

The guard's face hardened, his attitude worsened, and he demanded a higher price: "You must pay one hundred spirit stones to enter the city, or leave." Upon hearing this, the other guards immediately stood beside him, blocking the way into the city.

Elsewhere in the City of Desire, Shi Ying couldn't control things, but at the city gate, he truly had the final say. His uncle was the city lord's confidant, wielding considerable power.

"Hey, I'm telling you guys..." Jin Haoyu was about to say something when Chi Yi stopped him.

He transmitted his thoughts through his mind: "Don't be impulsive, this is their territory!" They could easily deal with these guards, but the City Lord's Mansion they represented was a different story. After all, they were here for training, and they couldn't be kicked out as soon as they entered.

Jin Haoyu curled his lip helplessly; he couldn't be bothered to argue with such insignificant people.

Chi Yi gave a friendly smile and said, "Brother guard, my friend is just a straightforward person, please don't take it to heart. We're new here too and don't know the rules. Don't worry, we'll definitely give you the spirit stones. You've worked hard guarding the city gate." As she spoke, she handed a bottle of medicine to the leading guard.

Shi Ying opened the bottle and smelled it. "Rejuvenating Liquid, good stuff, but there's only a few drops."

Shi Ying's expression softened, and he said, "That's more like it. Since you're sensible, ten spirit stones per person will be enough to get in."

Chi Yi immediately handed over the spirit stones and led his people into the city.

The other guards immediately surrounded Shi Ying, "What good stuff is it? Let us see it..."

"Go away, go away! All the spirit stones are yours to divide among yourselves. This one is mine!" Shi Ying pushed the group aside and left.

On the other side, Jin Haoyu and Xi Lan, who had entered the city, looked displeased. Jin Haoyu finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Chi Yi, why did you give that guard the spirit liquid? You should have just given him a hundred spirit stones!"

Chi Yi smiled mysteriously: "Guess!"

Seeing this, Jin Haoyu immediately realized something was amiss and asked curiously, "What did you put in there?"

Chi Yi retorted with a serious expression, "I didn't, don't wrong me!" After saying that, she turned around and continued walking forward.

Bai Shu gave him a look that said he was an idiot, and then followed Chi Yi.

Ling Lili shook her head at him, her expression saying, "How come you don't even know this!"

Yunfan patted him on the shoulder, then followed Ling Lili.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Jing understood what was going on. Chi Yi only said that she didn't put anything in, but she didn't say that she didn't. The person who put it in was obviously with them now. The most likely person was Bai Shu. She was a pharmacist, and she was the one who refined that bottle of Spirit Recovery Liquid. Even if she didn't put anything in it, there must be something wrong with that bottle of Spirit Recovery Liquid.

Jin Haoyu and Xi Lan looked at each other, still not understanding what was going on.

Chi Yi and her companions walked along the bustling street. There were hardly any legitimate stalls selling things; all they could see were entertainment venues: brothels, casinos, arenas, deathmatch arenas, and so on.

There are also ordinary shops, but they are all among the few with particularly great influence and reputation in the cultivation world, and even the shopkeepers are Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
