The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Upon hearing the name "Niu Lai," Shen Yifei's lips twitched. Before he could speak, Liu Mengli smiled sweetly at the middle-aged official and said, "Yes, yes, sir, my husband's name is Niu Lai. He was a cowherd in his previous life. He's not very bright, so please bear with him."

Then, he placed a storage bag in the middle-aged official's hand and said, "Sir, my name is Niu Ding."

Liu Mengli pointed to a name below Niu Lai, presumably indicating that the two brothers had suffered misfortune at the same time.

At that moment, Shen Yifei and Liu Mengli blocked the view of the people behind them.

The middle-aged official deftly stuffed the storage bag into his sleeve, picked up a pen and drew two checkmarks on the booklet, then gestured towards the city gate with his lip: "Alright, go in. Remember, there are rules in the city, don't cause trouble."

Shen Yifei was dragged through the city gate by Liu Mengli before he whispered, "Niu Lai? What kind of lousy name did you give me?"

"Master, what a wonderful and auspicious name! 'Niu Lai Niu Lai,' meaning 'soaring high like an ox.' Besides, aren't we here to find our mother? And besides, my name is even worse. How about we switch? You could be called Niu Ding?"

Shen Yifei thought about it and decided that this name was not as good as Niu Lai.

The sight of the marketplace, a place seemingly on the verge of death, surprised the two even more.

I had imagined the underworld to be a place of eerie winds and howling ghosts, but the scene inside the Gates of Hell was even more bustling than a major city on earth.

The shops on both sides of the street are lined up one after another, and pedestrians come and go. At first glance, it is no different from the bustling city.

The only difference was that the sky was dark, there was no sun or moon, and a hazy light seeped down from all directions, shrouding the entire city in a layer of gloom, making it look less bright.

There were also underworld soldiers patrolling the streets, dressed in black armor. They would stop and question anyone who seemed suspicious, and some would even demand money directly from them.

To avoid trouble, Liu Mengli had changed into men's clothing, tied her hair up, and drawn some bold lines between her eyebrows, making her look like a handsome and dashing young master. Shen Yifei paled in comparison to her.

The two first familiarized themselves with the Gates of Hell, then wandered around aimlessly.

The old tortoise said that to find his mother's soul, he had to go to the Looking-Home Terrace, and to enter the Looking-Home Terrace, he also had to find the Reincarnation Token, a pass, at the Gates of Hell!

But in such a vast city, where the Gates of Hell are located, where can one find the Reincarnation Decree?

After walking for a while, Liu Mengli would occasionally link arms with Shen Yifei, or cling tightly to him.

The two men's intimate actions on the street drew stares from passersby.

At first, Shen Yifei didn't think anything of it; this was just Liu Mengli's usual practice.

Later, as more people watched, their gazes were like those of people looking at two monsters, and Shen Yifei finally realized that Liu Mengli was dressed as a man.

Liu Mengli, on the other hand, didn't care about any of that and did whatever she wanted. In her eyes, all ethics and morality were utter nonsense.

"Master, I've always wanted to become a man and experience what it's like to be one. Unfortunately, I've been reincarnated as a woman several times. Maybe I'm just destined to be a woman."

"What's so great about being a man? Look at me, I'm destined to be a man who toils all day long..." Shen Yifei sighed.

"Master, you're getting the better deal and then complaining! Look at you, surrounded by women all day long, living the life of a god..."

"What's wrong, Liu Mengli? Your mind is getting more and more frivolous. Are you thinking of...?"

"Oh, Master, you can rest assured. Even if I turn into a man, I will only love you."

"Go away, go away," Shen Yifei shook off Liu Mengli's arm, "I don't have that kind of hobby, I only like women."

The two chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, they had arrived at a street.

The street's color is different from other places; pink lanterns hang on the facades of all the shops, big and small, making the entire street glow pink.

Shen Yifei looked at the place and realized it looked familiar.

This is just a street full of brothels; it seems they've even extended their business of prostitution to the underworld.

It seems that love between men and women is a natural and legitimate thing. Whether they are human, ghost, demon, or deity, it is a need.

Shen Yifei and Liu Mengli exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's meaning.

Brothels and casinos are always a melting pot of all sorts of people, from all walks of life, and you might just find out the whereabouts of the Reincarnation Decree.

The two approached the brothel street and looked at each one one by one.

Shen Yifei clicked his tongue and shook his head as he watched: "Mengli, what do you think these ghosts are doing even after they're dead? What's the point?"

"Master, you are a typical example of a well-fed man who does not know the hunger of a starving man. Although ghosts do not have physical bodies, the sensation of yin energy mingling with yin energy is more bone-deep and soul-stirring than that of physical matters."

"Isn't that the dual cultivation of spiritual consciousness we practice?"

"It's not quite the same, Master. Shall I find you another one to try? I don't mind..."

"Get lost! What do you take me for? You want me to play with ghosts? If things go wrong, I might end up being played by ghosts instead."

Liu Mengli laughed at his words, "Master, you have foresight. If an ordinary person is haunted by a female ghost for one night, he will lose half of his soul."

"Really?" Shen Yifei didn't believe it at all. "I'm not an ordinary person..."

As the two were talking, Liu Mengli suddenly stopped and pointed ahead, "Master, look, that family, they're quite grand."

Shen Yifei looked in the direction she pointed, and his breath caught in his throat for a moment.

It was a three-story wooden building, painted vermilion, with a dense circle of red lanterns hanging under the eaves, making it different from other places.

Hanging red lanterns in the underworld is taboo, but the Gate of Hell is the first stop for new ghosts entering the underworld, and their speech and customs are the same as those of people in the human world.

Hanging red lanterns looks festive, but to be able to hang them out, and to dare to hang them out, means you're not an ordinary person.

The more special the place, the more information you can gather.

As Shen Yifei and Liu Mengli approached, they saw a black plaque with gold lettering hanging above the door.

The Enchanting Tower!

Two rows of female ghosts stood at the entrance of the building, each dressed in a gossamer veil, with a slender waist and delicate features.

When she sees a guest passing by, she leans softly against you, without saying a word, just staring at you with those captivating eyes that make your bones feel weak.

Once she sees someone and is attracted to them, she starts bombarding them with all sorts of flirtatious language. Most men can't resist such teasing.

Wave after wave of men were dragged into the brothel.

Shen Yifei had only taken two steps forward when a female ghost dressed in red gauze came close to him.

She gently placed her jade-like hand on his arm, her voice soft and sweet: "Young master, is this your first time here? You look quite unfamiliar to me. Would you like to come in and sit for a while? The girls at our Ecstasy Pavilion will surely make you feel like an immortal."

Shen Yifei subconsciously took half a step back, but his words were still sharp: "Become a god? I've already been a god in the mortal realm, why would I need to come here?"

The female ghost covered her mouth and chuckled. Just as she was about to say something, her gaze passed over Shen Yifei and landed on Liu Mengli.

Upon seeing this, her smile froze, and her eyes seemed to be nailed down, unable to look away.

The female ghost ignored Shen Yifei and went to Liu Mengli, her voice changing, "This young master is so handsome..."
