Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"Let's get started. We'll be waiting for you at the top of the mountain. Don't even think about abandoning us." The woman surnamed Liu said this, then glanced at the senior brother Song.

Senior Brother Song knew what the woman surnamed Liu meant; she wanted him to keep an eye on Ye Liuyun the whole way, so there was no need for two people to keep an eye on him here.

The woman surnamed Liu flew into the air and left. Ye Liuyun glared at her as she walked away, and then reluctantly picked up a broom and began sweeping the steps.

Senior Brother Song followed behind Ye Liuyun the whole time.

The steps were covered in leaves; how long would it take her to sweep them all the way up? Ye Liuyun felt incredibly unlucky.

"No, no, this is too much of a waste of time!" Ye Liuyun scanned the area while pondering how to complete the task quickly.

She thought about it for a while, and then glanced at this Senior Brother Song, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Hey? Senior brother, what's your name?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

When Senior Brother Song saw Ye Liuyun ask his name, he was bored anyway, and his first impression of Ye Liuyun was quite good, so he was willing to talk to Ye Liuyun.

"Oh, my name is Song Shuwen. I heard that you are the sect leader's personal disciple and the older sister of Senior Sister Lin Aoxue, right?" While answering, Song Shuwen also asked Ye Liuyun a question.

"Yes, but we're not blood sisters. We live in the same town, right across from each other," Ye Liuyun replied.

Song Shuwen nodded, and the two of them chatted while sweeping the floor. Having someone to talk to along the way was definitely more comfortable than Ye Liuyun sweeping the floor alone in a boring way.

Actually, Ye Liuyun clearly had an ulterior motive.

First, she built a closer relationship with Song Shuwen through chatting. Then, she intentionally or unintentionally explained why she hadn't attended the conference that day, thus gaining Song Shuwen's sympathy.

Men are easily swayed by pretty girls; this is a common problem for many men, something Ye Liuyun knows all too well.

Her appearance may have no other value, but it's absolutely perfect for deceiving others.

Sure enough, after sweeping a section of steps, Ye Liuyun pretended to be tired.

"Ah! I can't go on, Senior Brother Song, let's take a break, I'm too tired," Ye Liuyun said, panting.

Seeing how exhausted Ye Liuyun was, Song Shuwen felt a pang of pity. After thinking for a moment, he scanned his surroundings with his divine sense to make sure no one else was around. Then, he made a hand seal and blew on the steps.

In a short while, the wind blew away almost all the leaves and debris on the nearly 100-meter-long steps.

"Junior Sister Ye, I can only help lighten your burden a bit. I can't take you flying up directly. I'm sorry," Song Shuwen said apologetically.

Ye Liuyun immediately gave Song Shuwen a grateful look, and then continued forward. This time, however, he didn't need to sweep the floor, because Song Shuwen used magic to blow away all the debris on the steps for Ye Liuyun.

Simply walking up it shouldn't be too tiring.

Time passed slowly. Since the steps were not currently in the assessment phase and no magic power was attached to them, climbing the mountain was several times easier than before.

With their physical abilities as cultivators, it would take them at most three hours to get up there. Five hours later, Ye Liuyun pretended to be cleaning when he arrived at the mountain gate.

Senior Sister Liu is waiting for them right here.

"Ah! I'm done sweeping, I'm exhausted." Ye Liuyun plopped down on the ground after sweeping the last step.

"Hmph! Today's punishment is over. We'll continue tomorrow." After saying this, Senior Sister Liu turned and left.

As for Song Shuwen, he chuckled at Ye Liuyun and then left as well.

After they left, Ye Liuyun's fatigue immediately disappeared.

"Oh! This Senior Brother Song is quite something. I should thank him sometime, otherwise I'll be sweeping until dusk." Ye Liuyun stood up, patted his bottom, and exclaimed.

"You little rascal, you even know how to use your girlish advantages to lessen your punishment? Are you starting to like this body?" Lin Qingyou teased.

However, Ye Liuyun disagreed with this statement.

"What nonsense! I'm just making good use of my identity. Besides, I can't waste my time sweeping the floor every day," Ye Liuyun said before returning to his residence.

Chapter 18 Testing Drugs on Oneself

Upon returning to his lodgings, the newly initiated disciples surrounded him again, showering him with concern and care.

"Senior Sister Ye, are you alright? Oh dear, the sect's punishment shouldn't have been like this..."

Ye Liuyun was surrounded by the chattering of these people. He knew that these guys were so enthusiastic towards him purely because of Lin Aoxue.

She said a few words to dismiss everyone, and then prepared to enter her cave.

"Miss Ye, you're back?" Just then, Xiao Hansheng appeared.

She didn't want to pay much attention to others, but she still had to be polite to Xiao Hansheng.

"Oh, Brother Xiao, today's punishment is over. I'm exhausted. There are still twenty-nine days left. It's going to be tough," Ye Liuyun sighed.

“This! Oh! Miss Ye, you should be more careful in the future. This cultivation sect is not like the mortal world. There are many more rules than in the mortal world. If you are not careful, you will violate the rules.” Xiao Hansheng said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun nodded. Little did she know that one had to be careful once they entered the world of cultivation; today's incident could only be described as an accident.

"Well, thank you for the reminder, Brother Xiao. I'll go back to my cave to rest first. Let's talk again after my punishment is completely over," Ye Liuyun said.

Xiao Hansheng nodded, then watched Ye Liuyun enter the cave before returning to his own cave.

Upon entering the cave, Ye Liuyun immediately popped a Spirit Explosion Pill into his mouth. The next moment, a large amount of spiritual energy gathered around him, and he felt refreshed.

The fatigue in my body was completely washed away by the spiritual energy storm.

After she had absorbed the power of the pills, she began to study them again. The reason she was so tired yesterday was that she had refined many pills with different effects all night, and she hadn't had a chance to test their efficacy.

"I won't be refining pills today. Today I'm mainly here to test herbs. Hehe, I, Ye Liuyun, will also follow Shennong's example and taste hundreds of herbs." Ye Liuyun casually grabbed a purple pill and threw it into his mouth.

This pill is a mixture of three medicinal herbs, and it doesn't look like a proper pill.

After the pill entered his body, a strange purple medicinal power began to spread throughout Ye Liuyun's body, and its effects began to invade his body.

"Huh?" Ye Liuyun suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her rosy lips had turned black and purple as if she had been poisoned.

"Ugh!" Ye Liuyun clutched his chest and then vomited a mouthful of dark, poisonous blood.

"Damn! It's a poison pill, and a highly poisonous one at that." Ye Liuyun spat out a mouthful of poisonous blood and died on the spot from the poison.

This guy really dares to take any kind of elixir; did he poison himself to death?

However, something strange soon happened. A phantom figure slowly floated out from Ye Liuyun's body and hovered above his physical form. This was Ye Liuyun's soul.

"What the hell? I didn't add any poisonous herbs, so how did I end up with a highly poisonous pill?" Ye Liuyun muttered calmly as he looked at his lifeless corpse.

Doesn't this guy realize he's already dead?

"Nonsense, who told me that poison pills must be made with poisonous herbs? Medicinal herbs are not distinguished by whether they are poisonous or good; it depends on how they are combined." Lin Qingyou's figure also floated out.

"Ugh! This pill is pointless, so boring." Ye Liuyun shook his head, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"No, no, no, this pill still has room for improvement. If it's about to be refined to its limit, it could even poison high-level cultivators. Besides, haven't you always said that the cultivation techniques I taught you have no combat power? Since you have no combat power yourself, why not refine some pills that can protect you?" Lin Qingyou reminded her.

Lin Qingyou's words suddenly opened up a new world for Ye Liuyun.

"Really? How come I didn't think of that? Then let's continue testing the drug. Anyway, we've already died several times, so it doesn't matter anymore," Ye Liuyun chuckled.

That's right. She had already died seven or eight times when she was in Qixia Town. The first time was when she successfully cultivated the "Eternal Green Technique".

To test whether Lin Qingyou was lying to her, Ye Liuyun secretly ran away from Qixia Town, found a very high cliff, jumped off, and died on the spot. However, after a short while, Ye Liuyun was resurrected and his body was completely unharmed.

Then, Ye Liuyun concocted worldly medicines, poisoning himself several times. Randomly combining medicines would definitely kill people.

Sure enough, within a minute, Ye Liuyun's body began to emanate a rich life force. Under the influence of this life force, Ye Liuyun's body quickly recovered, the toxins in his body were completely cleared, his body revived, and his soul was immediately pulled into the body by the power of his body.

With his soul and body merging, Ye Liuyun opened his eyes again.

"Hey! Continue, the ingredients of this pill are..." Ye Liuyun took out his pill record book again and recorded the ingredients of this poison pill.

After recording the results, she tried the medicine again. This time, she picked up a pink pill, but Lin Qingyou stopped her just as she was about to eat it.

"Hey? Kid, you can't just take these pills," Lin Qingyou reminded him.

"Huh? Why? This pill doesn't look like poison." Ye Liuyun asked, somewhat surprised.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyou immediately rolled her eyes at Ye Liuyun.

"Judging from the color, this seems to be some kind of aphrodisiac. Are you sure you want to take it?" Lin Qingyou asked with a strange expression.

"Oh, aphrodisiac? Pfft! Oh, you mean that stuff?" Upon hearing the words "aphrodisiac," Ye Liuyun didn't show any womanly shyness, but rather a curious look from a man.

Lin Qingyou felt a chill run down her spine when she saw Ye Liuyun's reaction.

"Hey! Kid, you need to know your place. You're not a man anymore, so don't act like you used to, so reckless," Lin Qingyou said.

Unfortunately, while she was speaking, Ye Liuyun had already eaten the pill like candy.

Ye Liuyun wasn't worried about getting sick from taking it. Besides, how would he know the specific effects of the pill if he didn't try it?

So she swallowed it without hesitation, even though there were different kinds of aphrodisiacs.

"Huh? You?" Lin Qingyou was dumbfounded.

After the pill entered his body, Ye Liuyun felt nothing.

"Strange, I don't seem to feel anything. Isn't it said that eating this stuff will make you infatuated and unable to control yourself? That's what it's written in TV dramas and novels." Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.

But soon, she realized how serious it was. As the pill slowly dissolved in her body, a strange heat began to spread throughout her body, and Ye Liuyun suddenly felt dizzy. The surrounding environment began to spin.

"Hey! Kid, wake up! I told you not to eat it, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened," Lin Qingyou reminded him.

Ye Liuyun shook her head, and then something strange happened. Lin Qingyou in front of her gradually transformed into Lin Aoxue.

"Liuyun, Liuyun, what's wrong?" Lin Aoxue asked, shaking Ye Liuyun's shoulders.

Ye Liuyun felt her consciousness was about to leave her body; her body was out of control, and she hugged Lin Aoxue tightly.

"Aoxue, what brings you here? That's strange." Ye Liuyun was about to say something when he suddenly heard what sounded like a drop of water falling on the surface of water.

His dazed consciousness instantly cleared.

When she woke up, she found that the person standing in front of her was Lin Qingyou, not Lin Aoxue.

Lin Qingyou is using her own power to clear the medicinal effects from Ye Liuyun's body.

Chapter 19 The Milky Way Reverses Its Flow

However, elixirs like the Albizia julibrissin are not considered poisons and pose almost no harm to the human body.

Lin Qingyou could only use her soul power to restore Ye Liuyun's consciousness.

The pill had just caused Ye Liuyun to hallucinate. When Ye Liuyun hugged Lin Qingyou, Lin Qingyou knew that Ye Liuyun had fallen into a hallucination.

In addition to stimulating the body, the drug Acacia can also cause hallucinations and lower psychological defenses.

"Kid, I really want to slap you to death. I've already used my power to dispel the drug's effects that were eroding your consciousness, but I can't do anything about the effects on your body. Just bear with it for a while," Lin Qingyou said with a dark face.

After regaining consciousness, Ye Liuyun immediately gave Lin Qingyou an awkward smile, then, feeling unbearably hot, he paced back and forth in the room, hugging himself.

"Damn it, it's so hot! I thought it wouldn't work, but it's really potent. It's so annoying." Ye Liuyun endured it for a while, then took off his clothes.

She felt as if countless ants were crawling all over her body, an itch that was tingling and numb.

"No, no, let's see if there are any other pills that can relieve this restlessness." After persisting for a while, Ye Liuyun couldn't take it anymore, so he took another look at the pile of colorful pills.

She casually picked up a blue pill. The pill was cool and refreshing, which made Ye Liuyun feel very comfortable, even though she was feeling hot all over.

Naturally, she liked things that were cool. After she swallowed the pill, a cool sensation quickly began to attack the heat in her body. Her body turned red and blue at different times, a sensation of both ice and fire.

She was constantly radiating heat, which drifted out of the window.

Lin Qingyou stared blankly at the heat emanating from Ye Liuyun for a moment, then flew to the window and glanced at the sky.

"Strange, there seems to be some inexplicable power in the heat emanating from this kid," Lin Qingyou muttered to herself.

Looking out at the sky, as the heat emanating from Ye Liuyun disappeared into the clouds, something even more peculiar happened: the weather was quite nice today, with not a cloud in the sky.

But at that moment, a large patch of dark clouds gathered above the Yunxia Sect, very suddenly, without any warning.

Dark clouds blocked out the sunlight, shrouding the Cloud Mist Sect beneath them.

"Huh? Is it going to rain?" Many Yunxia Sect disciples noticed this strange phenomenon in the sky.

Because only the Cloud Mist Sect had a dark cloud above them; the rest of the area remained sunny.

After the dark clouds gathered for a while, it did start to rain. However, the rain was accompanied by a mist, and it grew heavier and heavier, turning from a drizzle into a downpour in less than a minute.

Moreover, the raindrops falling on the Yunxia Sect disciples caused them to feel hot and cold alternately, sometimes feeling burning hot and sometimes feeling cold.

"It's so hot."

"so cold."

"What's going on? There's something wrong with this rainwater."
