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

Lin Aoxue was furious when she heard this.

"Look at you, you're just a sexually frustrated young woman now, you know that, Liuyun? You can't be so depraved." Lin Aoxue had a terrible headache.

She used to force Ye Liuyun to be close to her, but now she doesn't need to force him anymore. This guy has completely let himself go.

"A young woman is fine, then husband, would you please satisfy my needs?" Ye Liuyun said shamelessly.

"Pfft!" Lin Aoxue almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She felt that it was necessary to find time to give Ye Liuyun a lesson in regaining his male dignity.

So no matter what she said, it didn't satisfy Ye Liuyun. No matter how shameless Ye Liuyun was, Lin Aoxue remained unmoved.

This time, neither gentle persuasion nor forceful tactics worked.

"Damn it, you woman, you have no sense of romance at all. Look at me, I've even abandoned all my dignity as a man to beg you, and you're still unmoved. Fine, if you don't want to play, then don't play. Sooner or later you'll be the one begging me." Ye Liuyun was unhappy.

“Okay, I’ll bet with you and see who can hold back first.” Lin Aoxue became interested.

"Tch! Who's afraid of who? Let's make a bet. From today onwards, neither of us will touch the other. You're the one who brought me joy as a woman, and now you're turning your back on me? Sigh! Why am I so unlucky?" Ye Liuyun sighed repeatedly.

Ye Liuyun lay down next to Lin Aoxue, chattering incessantly, turning into a complete nagging woman.

Marriage may seem like just a formality, but in reality, Ye Liuyun would never have been so unrestrained if he hadn't gotten married. But once he got married, he had no more inhibitions; it was a change in his mindset.

This is why, in his previous life on Earth, many of Ye Liuyun's female classmates wouldn't discuss certain topics before getting married, but after they got married, they all became "experienced drivers," making embarrassing jokes in the class group every day.

Why is that? Ultimately, marriage is like a shackle on the door of two people's desires. Once the shackle is opened, it's hard to close it again. The difference between a young woman and a girl lies here: they are bolder when it comes to relationships between the sexes, though this isn't always the case.

Ye Liuyun found it difficult to suppress the intoxicating feeling after tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time, after all, it had only been a little over a month since their marriage.

Humans are naturally curious about the unknown. Once that curiosity wears off, Ye Liuyun will probably return to normal.

Chapter 184 Taking the Initiative to Apologize

Meanwhile, on the Cloud Mist Sect's side, the Blood Demon Sect's affair isn't over yet, and now another major event has occurred in Silent City.

Yun Yun had no choice but to convene all the high-ranking members to discuss how to deal with the situation in Silent City. At the same time, she immediately dispatched a group of sect experts and disciples to Silent City as quickly as possible to prevent the Yanxia Sect from making any major moves.

"Hmph! Sect Master, isn't your disciple far too lawless? For the sake of a rogue cultivator, she publicly turned against the Misty Cloud Sect. Doesn't she know that in Silent City, our four sects are a community of shared interests? Instead of trying to maintain our relationship, she's damaging the relationship between our two sects. This matter must be dealt with seriously!" A returning Dao Palace Nascent Soul Realm elder spoke up angrily.

"Elder Yunhai, please calm down. According to the report from over there, the Yanxia Sect was at fault in this incident. They were the ones who started the conflict first. We can't entirely blame Aoxue for this," Yunhui said.

However, the cultivators themselves would not back down or give up just because of Yun Hui's words.

"That's not how it works. Even if the Yanxia Sect is at fault, our Yunxia Sect should handle it by making a big deal out of a small one and a small deal out of a big one. Lin Aoxue turned her back on us in public, wasn't that forcing the Yanxia Sect to take drastic measures? Not only that, she also took advantage of being the Sect Master's personal disciple to wantonly beat up her fellow disciples. Such unorthodox behavior should be severely punished. Vice Sect Master, what do you think?" Elder Yunhai raged with righteous indignation and launched into his own high-sounding argument.

Unfortunately, Yun Che ignored them because his thinking was different from theirs. If Lin Aoxue was truly wrong, then he would naturally not protect her.

However, based on the information he received, Lin Aoxue's behavior was not entirely wrong, or rather, it was basically without fault, at least morally. As for damaging the relationship between the two sects, that's a matter of opinion.

"Has the Yanxia Sect sent anyone to question us?" Yun Che asked in return.

This sentence came so suddenly that Elder Yunhai was stunned. She immediately looked at Yun Ling, but Yun Ling shook his head.

"So far, the Yanxia Sect has not contacted our Yunxia Sect to hold us accountable," Yun Ling replied.

Yun Che smiled when he heard this.

"Since they haven't taken the initiative to hold anyone accountable, why are you in such a hurry to punish your own disciples? Obviously, the Yanxia Sect knows they are in the wrong and doesn't know how to bring up the issue. In addition, their people are currently being held by our Yunxia Sect, so they probably won't come to question us openly. Just watch, they will definitely send someone over to discuss with us how to handle this matter discreetly." Yun Che smiled confidently.

Sure enough, not long after these words were spoken, Yun Yun received a message from Yan Chen, the sect leader of Yanxia Sect.

What the other party meant was roughly that they asked Yun Yun to forgive their disciple's rash behavior and to release their detained person. As for other matters, they would not discuss them at all.

If you do something that is not morally right, it is difficult to gain an advantageous position. In the struggle between sects, you must first look at the situation. The current situation is that the Yunxia Sect has detained many of them, including two Dao Palace experts and two personal disciples.

If the Yanxia Sect were to launch an attack, they would have to abandon these detained disciples, but would it be worth it? Clearly, in the eyes of the Yanxia Sect, this was not a worthwhile deal at all.

"Hehe, alright, no need to argue anymore. Sect Master Yanchen personally apologized to our Yunxia Sect, saying that this matter was entirely their fault and that we must not hold it against them." Yun Yun smiled.

As Yun Che had expected, the Yanxia Sect backed down first. Fortunately, they did not take the initiative to discuss a solution to the conflict with the Yanxia Sect. If they had taken the initiative to go to the Yanxia Sect, it would have only made the other party think that they were in the wrong.

Then the Yanxia Sect will definitely take the opportunity to make demands and occupy a favorable negotiating position.

That's why they didn't contact the Yanxia Sect immediately after the incident; because in many situations, only the party in the wrong is eager to contact the party in the right to apologize.

The Yanxia Sect wasn't entirely without thought; it was precisely because they used their brains that they took the initiative to contact the Yunxia Sect to apologize. As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. They needed to ensure the safety of their disciples and experts before considering revenge. However, whether they would actually retaliate was still uncertain.

"Hahaha, I knew it! Aoxue didn't do anything wrong. Since she didn't do anything wrong, why should she be punished?" Yunhui laughed after hearing the news.

But these returning elders don't see it that way.

"The Yanxia Sect apologized only because their people were detained by us, and they had no choice but to apologize. After we send them back, can you guarantee they won't make things difficult for our Yunxia Sect? Personally, I think Lin Aoxue still needs to be punished, at least to show the Yanxia Sect what's what." Upon hearing this, the elder could only back down.

But Yunyun was unhappy when she heard this.

"Elder Yunhai, are you saying that my disciple made the right choice, yet he still made a mistake? What kind of logic is that? Are you protecting the sect or trying to cause trouble?" Yun Yun coldly questioned.

Faced with Yun Yun's questioning, Elder Yun Hai immediately shut up and sat down. Continuing to speak would be going too far. Such matters should be left unresolved, as not many people were currently on his side.

After scolding Yunhai, Yunyun finally spoke.

“Ao Xue’s actions this time upheld the authority of the four major sects in Silent City. They didn’t abide by the rules they set themselves, and even turned around and blamed others. The behavior of the Yanxia Sect is neither moral nor reasonable. Therefore, I don’t think Ao Xue did anything wrong. However, her style of action was too reckless. I will tell her to be more careful in the future. That’s all.” Yun Yun made the decision directly.

At the same time, it also got Yunming to release the person.

After the meeting, the returning elders went to Yun Che's residence in a huff.

"Vice Sect Master, what do you mean by this? Have you forgotten the task assigned by the Upper Sect? This is a great opportunity to suppress Lin Aoxue, why don't you say a word?" Yun Hai and others questioned Yun Che in the courtyard.

However, Yun Che did not think so.

"Forgive my bluntness, but these petty tricks of yours will only unite them more and will not have any effect on suppressing them. You already know Lin Aoxue's qualifications. She defeated the Blood Demon Sect leader with her mid-stage Spirit Pattern Realm cultivation and was able to fight against Elder Yan Mo of the Misty Cloud Sect. Do you think you can shake her position with such strength by relying on such trivial matters? What a joke." Yun Che replied indifferently.

These people actually understood this principle, but now that Qi Chaoying had been sent back to Yunzong, it was uncertain when she would return. The upper sect had not stopped their missions, so if things continued like this, it would be basically impossible for them to take over the position.

Moreover, they also felt that Yun Che had no intention of carrying out the mission assigned to him by Yun Zong.

Therefore, it was impossible to get Yun Che's help, so they had to think of another way.

So they reported the matter to Yun Zong, hoping he could make a decision. But Yun Zong's reply was just one sentence: "Use your brains to figure it out."

However, despite saying that, Yunzong still held a special meeting regarding Lin Aoxue's matter.

At this moment, in the Cloud Sea Mountains, in the Cloud Sect Council Hall, all the elders who were in charge of the affairs of the four sects gathered to discuss how to deal with Lin Aoxue's matter.

However, the solutions they came up with were only two: first, to win her over and get her to stand on the side of the Cloud Sect; second, to make her disappear, because with such great talent, if she didn't stand on the side of the Cloud Sect, she would only become a stumbling block to the Cloud Sect's efforts to bind the four major sects to one side in the future.

Chapter 185 The Power of Conspiracy (Bonus Chapter for 50 Monthly Tickets)

The atmosphere inside the Yun Sect's External Affairs Council Hall was somewhat strange, because the results presented by these elders had not been agreed upon by all the elders in charge of the affairs of the four sects.

According to the rules, to carry out actions against subordinate sects, at least half of the elders must agree, but it is clear that it is probably less than half.

There are seven elders here. The one in charge is the second elder of the Yun Sect, and the other elders are in charge of other areas. If four of the seven elders disagree with this mission, then the mission cannot be issued.

Why can't they reach a consensus? It can only be said that the sects below are offering too much; if the action would harm their own interests, they certainly won't agree.

"Second Elder, we must be careful about this matter. We can't be so easily frightened just because a subordinate sect has produced an outstanding disciple. I think the sect leader and the others are right. You can't force things. Let's stick to the plan we agreed on before," Qin Su said.

“I agree with Elder Qin Su’s words. Even if the position of sect leader is eventually passed to Lin Aoxue, as long as our disciples hold the important positions in the sect, she alone cannot support the whole sect. Besides, the problem of Yunxia Sect alone cannot alleviate the pressure on our Yunxia Sect in the future.”

"The most urgent task is to unite our subordinate sects and give them the respect they deserve. Sending people to assassinate the future successors of our subordinate sects? What kind of plan is this? Instead of wasting time thinking about dealing with our subordinate sects, we should be thinking about how to save face at next year's Nanling Grand Gathering." Elder Mo Shang, who was in charge of Yunxia Sect and Zixia Sect, also spoke up.

This Elder Mo Shang was an elder secretly recruited by the Yun Sect. The annual tribute he received from the Yun Sect was much better than the treatment he received from the Yun Sect.

Therefore, this elder basically speaks on behalf of the Yunxia Sect. Once he speaks, the other two subordinate elders will definitely listen to him.

In addition, the other elders also had their own ulterior motives. They dared not nod casually on this matter, as it might cause a chain reaction.

“However, if we leave Lin Aoxue, who is so talented, unchecked, and cannot make her obey our Yun Sect, she will become a huge problem once she grows up,” said the Second Elder of the Yun Sect.

“This woman, at the mid-stage of the Spirit Pattern Realm, can contend against the second level of the Dao Palace Realm. With such talent, our Yun Sect should make good use of her. I have a very good plan here. We can send someone to discuss with Yun Yun and the others, and have this woman represent our Yun Sect at the Southern Ridge Grand Gathering next year. With her talent, she will definitely stand out. If this woman gains the approval of the upper sect, or is retained by the upper sect, then our Yun Sect may be able to buy more time. Isn’t this a better way?” Mo Shang suggested.

The method this guy came up with is quite interesting; at least he actually used his brain.

Secretly dealing with Lin Aoxue is merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause. Does eliminating Lin Aoxue guarantee that the Yunxia Sect will obey the Yun Sect's orders or be on the same side as the Yun Sect? That's uncertain; no one can predict the future.

They can't place their hopes on the future; they might as well place their hopes on the present. At least Mo Shang's suggestion can make the most of Lin Aoxue's resources.

“Eh? Now that you mention it, it’s quite interesting. This Lin Aoxue seems to be only in her early twenties. With such age and talent, in the past, we would have already found a way to bring her to our Yun Sect.” Another elder said, stroking his beard.

Yunzong actually had its own agenda. They had already made preparations on two fronts. Their first plan was to find a way to tie the four subordinate sects to their side and do everything they could to weather this calamity.

As a backup plan, if all hope is lost, we will send our best disciples to the four major sects in advance to preserve the seeds for a future comeback.

Because they see no hope for the Yun Sect at the moment. Their patriarch has no hope of breaking through his realm, and their sect leader also has no hope of breaking through to the Transformation Realm in the short term.

No matter how many outstanding disciples you snatch from the four major sects, it won't help. This is a lack of top-tier combat power, not a shortage of outstanding disciples.

If their Yun Sect wants to produce a new Nascent Soul expert, it will take at least two to five hundred years. Their ancestor has less than a hundred years to live, and he has already taken longevity pills. If he still cannot break through his realm, he will surely die.

"Now that you mention it, I think Elder Mo Shang's opinion is quite good. What we need to do now is maximize the interests of the sect. After all, the subordinate sects are also internal issues of our Yun Sect, so we still need to be cautious." After listening to Mo Shang's opinion, the other three elders agreed with Mo Shang's opinion and rejected the suggestion of the Second Elder of Yun Sect.

As a result, the previously discussed solutions were rejected.

"This? Alright then. But by the way, Elder Qin, how is your disciple doing?" The Second Elder of the Cloud Sect inquired about Qin Su.

Qin Su shook her head.

"She has lost all her memories, but her personality has become obedient and gentle, quite different from before. Also, she hasn't lost her cultivation, just forgotten it. After my teaching, she can now skillfully use everything she learned before. Second Elder, are you planning to send her back?" Qin Su asked.

"I think we should just send her back. There's no point in her staying in the Cloud Sect anymore. She's Yun Yun's disciple anyway. When you send her back, tell Yun Yun what the sect is thinking and see how they react," the Second Elder of the Cloud Sect said calmly.

Qin Su sighed softly.

"Okay." Qin Su nodded.

That concludes the meeting.

Let's talk about Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun, who are still in Silent City. Ever since they made a bet with Lin Aoxue the day before yesterday, the two of them have been giving each other the cold shoulder. In order to distract himself, Ye Liuyun has put his mind on alchemy.

Lin Aoxue was also meditating and cultivating in her room.

As for the conflict between the Yunxia Sect and the Yanxia Sect, it ended with the Yunxia Sect releasing the person. However, the Yanxia Sect only pretended to back down. In reality, they are currently plotting a conspiracy.

Sure enough, the Yanxia Sect sent an inner sect elder at the third level of the Dao Palace, who was also a returning elder, to the Yanxia Sect branch. In addition, there were two other Dao Palace cultivators.

"Elder Yanhan, is the sect just going to let this go like this? Yunxia Sect is going too far! They've produced two exceptionally outstanding disciples in a row. Doesn't that mean they're going to put themselves above the three major sects?" Elder Yanmo said, looking furious.

He had been a prisoner for several days; it would be strange if he were happy.

"The reason our sect surrendered to the Yunxia Sect is because you were detained by them. In order to minimize our losses, we temporarily compromised with the Yunxia Sect. Don't worry, Lin Aoxue won't be able to cause trouble for long. She is so young and yet so arrogant. She will surely be punished by heaven and die young." Elder Yanhan said sinisterly.

The woman was clearly implying something, but she didn't say anything more to the others.

Yunzong might consider some issues of impact, but as one of the four lower-level sects, they are also the biggest competitors while cooperating. They cannot bear to see the other sect produce such a powerful disciple.

"So, the sect already has a way to retaliate against the Cloud Mist Sect?" Elder Yanmo asked doubtfully.

"Hehe, I guess so, but don't ask too many questions about this matter. If something happens, you'll have to pretend you know nothing, understand?" Elder Yanhan reminded him.

Lin Aoxue was unaware that the people of the Yanxia Sect were plotting against her.

As for Ye Liuyun, the bored Ye Liuyun was deeply researching her own pills. Well, the pill that could cause ice, fire, and rain last time was a special effect produced by mixing two kinds of pills together. She was wondering if other pills could also produce the same effect if they were mixed together.

She still has many pills whose effects she hasn't tried yet, such as the pill that could move the Floating Cloud Mountain Range. That was just an anomaly caused by the pill; its actual effect is currently unknown.

Chapter 186 Body Transformed into Mountains and Rivers (6000 words, three chapters combined)

Ye Liuyun took out the pill that had revived and moved the Floating Cloud Mountain Range last time. As soon as the pill came out, it emitted a yellowish-brown halo of sunlight.

Ye Liuyun had never tried this type of green-grade pill.

The main issue was the unusual phenomena produced by the green-grade pills, which left Ye Liuyun feeling uneasy, so he dared not consume them casually. As for the white-grade pills, it was confirmed that their effects would not be particularly exaggerated.

It's only slightly better than normal pills, and hasn't shown any particularly outrageous effects.

Of course, the grade of Ye Liuyun's pills is only determined by the medicinal materials she synthesizes, and it certainly cannot be compared with normal pills.

So far, she has only refined a few dozen kinds of pure green-grade pills, and only a few kinds of blue-grade pills.

"What, little girl, want to try a higher-grade pill?" Just as Ye Liuyun was hesitating whether to try it, Lin Qingyou woke up.

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Ye Liuyun was startled, then immediately revealed a look of great surprise.

Because she had gotten used to having Lin Qingyou by her side. With Lin Qingyou around, she could at least have someone to chat with when she was bored. During this time, Lin Qingyou was asleep, so Ye Liuyun could only spend her boring time with Lin Aoxue.

"Master? You're awake? You've recovered?" Ye Liuyun asked hurriedly.

"Well, after resting for a while, I've almost recovered. Of course, only my spiritual state has recovered; the soul power I consumed can't be restored. I hope nothing major happened during my slumber?"

Lin Qingyou's figure gradually materialized around Ye Liuyun.
