The sound echoed slowly in the woods, as if carrying a yearning for poetry.

With the helplessness and freedom of the life of a casual cultivator, the group continued on their way to Beiyan City amid the chanting.

When we arrived in Beiyancheng, the sun was already high in the sky.

Above the city gate, the large gold-plated characters "Beiyancheng" sparkled in the afterglow, exuding an ancient and solemn atmosphere.

The guard at the door glanced sharply at our group and took a step forward.

He asked loudly, "Is he from this city or from outside?"

The second brother replied calmly, "I'm from outside the city."

The guard then said expressionlessly, "That person pays ten spirit stones."

I listened quietly to the conversation between my second brother and the guard.

I was thinking, I knew that in ancient times one had to pay to enter the city gate, but I didn’t expect that the world of immortal cultivation also required money.

I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. If I had known earlier, I should have used the flying technique to fly into the city with my second brother and the others. This way, I could have saved some spirit stones.

After the guard counted the number of people, my second brother readily handed the spirit stone to him.

Afterwards, we all stepped into the city gate of Beiyan City together.

As soon as I entered the city, I saw a disciple running towards me in a hurry.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Hello, Second Young Master, Senior Sister Ling."

Then he hurriedly said: "The Peak Master has sent me to wait here for a long time. Second Young Master and Senior Sister Ling, please follow me back to the courtyard.

My second brother and I looked at each other and nodded.

Following the disciple, they arrived at the gate of a courtyard in less than a moment.

The disciple stepped forward and knocked gently on the door, shouting loudly, "The Second Young Master and his companions are here."

The disciples inside heard the knock on the door and hurried over to open it, and we walked into the courtyard steadily.

At this time, the door not far away slowly opened.

Senior Brothers Lu and Wu walked out quickly to greet them, saying, "Second Young Master, Junior Sister Ling."

Then, their eyes turned to the back of us, and Senior Brother Lu asked doubtfully, "Who are these people?"

The second brother smiled and explained, "These are my good friends."

Then they greeted each other politely.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard was harmonious, yet also a bit strange and reserved due to the new arrivals.
