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

"Sigh! I understand." Yun Yun sighed heavily.

Seeing that Yun Yun understood her words, Yun Yan smiled knowingly.

"Take it slow. As the sect leader, even if you have resentment in your heart, you can't show any resistance. They are all disciples of the sect, your fellow disciples. A truly capable sect leader should learn to accept and tolerate, be more understanding, and complain less," Yunyan said at the end.

After saying that, Yunyun left the mountain where Yunyan lived and returned to the main hall, because Xinghui and the others were waiting for Yunyun to come back and tell them what Qin Su had said to her.

"Alright, I'm back. I'm not afraid to tell you the purpose of Elder Qin Su's visit. She hopes that my disciple, Lin Aoxue, will represent the Yun Sect at next year's Nanling Grand Gathering. After discussing with the Supreme Elder, I agree to the Sect's wishes," Yun Yun said as soon as she returned.

This sudden news stunned Yun Che and the others. Based on Yun Che's understanding of Yun Yun, she shouldn't have agreed, so why did she agree?

The elders who were originally dissatisfied with Yun Yun as the new leader also showed expressions of surprise.

Since their return, their feeling has been that Yun Yun and the others are very hostile towards them, towards all of them. They admit that they came back with a purpose, and if they didn't have a purpose, they might never have returned to Yunxia Sect in their lives.

However, since they were born into the Yunxia Sect, the feeling of being rejected upon their return made them very uncomfortable. That's why they were so unceremoniously demanding power and personnel from the sect to assert their presence.

"This? Sect Master, you really agreed?" Yun Hui and the others found it hard to believe.

"After careful consideration, I feel there is no reason to disagree. The reason why our Yunxia Sect is where it is today is ultimately due to the blessings of the Upper Sect. If the Upper Sect is in trouble, even if our Yunxia Sect is willing but unable, we should still do our best to help the Upper Sect safely get through this calamity."

"Next year's Nanling Grand Gathering will allow Aoxue to participate under the name of a Yun Sect disciple. If Aoxue stands out at the Nanling Grand Gathering, perhaps the Upper Church will consider some issues on her behalf," Yun Yun explained.

This time, Yun Yun's words did not provoke any opposition or resistance from the returning elders.

Yun Hui and the others fell into deep thought. They were with Yun Yun, and since Yun Yun had agreed, they had no reason to object. If they didn't object, then the elders would be even less likely to object.

Today's meeting was the most harmonious one in history, and the resolution was passed by all members.

After the meeting ended, Yun Yun glanced at Yun Che, who was sitting on her right.

“Junior brother, I know about what you and Master talked about last time. Don’t worry, I won’t be so hostile in the future. I hope we can work together to bring their hearts back to Yunxia.” Yun Yun suddenly said.

Yun Che was stunned when he heard this. Then he looked at Yun Yun and smiled. Yun Yun also gave Yun Che a rare smile. You know, since they returned, Yun Yun has never given him a kind look.

The grudge between the two, the senior and junior, has been resolved.

As for Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun, the two are still giving each other the cold shoulder. With Lin Qingyou by his side, Ye Liuyun is not so bored anymore. With something to do, he naturally won't be thinking about women all the time.

To be honest, women not only affect her speed in drawing her sword, but also her research into elixirs.

"Master, is there a better way to figure out the effects of these pills? Some of them I have to test on some villains to see their specific effects," Ye Liuyun said, looking at the many pills in front of him that he hadn't yet tested for their effects.

"That's why I said you're really boring. You synthesized so many pills in one go. I think it's better not to force yourself. Try it when you have the chance. There's no point in trying to synthesize them all at once," Lin Qingyou said helplessly.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback. Lin Qingyou's words were indeed worth considering. In fact, even if all the pills were tested and found to be effective, they weren't something she particularly needed.

She might as well do something else and synthesize the pills when the time comes and she needs them.

“That’s right. Hey? I suddenly have an idea. Master, do you think we could sell these pills for a high price? I think there might be many places that need spirit stones in the future, so why not start a pill business?” Ye Liuyun had a new idea.

Lin Aoxue will be the sect leader in the future, and she will definitely need a lot of spirit stones. She can prepare more spirit stones in advance, because there will always be a time when she needs them. After all, spirit stones are the currency in the cultivation world.

They only need to contribute within the sect and don't need many spirit stones, but there are many places outside where they need spirit stones, so she doesn't actually have many spirit stones on her.

She has far more pills than spirit stones.

"Immortality and endless lifespan, focusing solely on elixirs, are not very meaningful. My advice to you is to take advantage of the opportunity to learn everything you need to know. It's always good to have more skills," Lin Qingyou said with a smile.

"That's true, my brain seems to have gotten a bit muddled over the years," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

However, before that, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue still need to deal with the troubles of the Yanxia Sect.

Chapter 189 Taking the Initiative

The two of them couldn't stay in the city forever; they would have to leave sooner or later.

The two of them now have three choices. The first choice is to tell the sect about this.

However, if this matter were told to the Yunxia Sect, Lin Aoxue would probably be personally taken back to the sect by Yun Yun.

After all, there was a powerful figure who wanted to assassinate Lin Aoxue, and just in case, Yun Yun would never leave Lin Aoxue outside.

Any smart person would choose to do this, because no matter how much you guard against external threats, there are always times when you miscalculate and make mistakes.

Besides, it's not easy to come out for a trip, and it's only been less than two months. Ye Liuyun is definitely not happy about having to go back.

The second option is to stay in Silent City. The Misty Cloud Sect doesn't dare to send anyone to take action in the city, but they can't just stay holed up inside forever, can they?

The third option is to take the initiative, find a way to lure out the guy hiding in the shadows, and then take him out.

The third method is definitely the most ideal, but also the most difficult, because figuring out how to kill a Dao Palace Level 3 expert is Ye Liuyun's primary problem to solve.

Ye Liuyun was already thinking of a solution.

"Damn it, we can't stay stuck in the city forever. We can't force it. I have several pills that can help Aoxue suppress the opponent's strength, but Aoxue said that with her current strength, she can barely fight a second-level Dao Palace cultivator, let alone a third-level Dao Palace cultivator. The lightning phenomenon can't suppress a third-level Dao Palace cultivator." Ye Liuyun muttered to himself in the room.

Ye Liuyun thought about it for a while, then paced back and forth in the room, and finally took out the booklet he used to record the effects of the pills.

This document records the approximate effects of the pills she has synthesized. She hopes to find among these pills the one that can deal with this trouble.

This book records the effects of hundreds of different elixirs, so it will take some time. She flipped through several pages before finally finding an elixir that might be able to solve the problem.

"Explosion Pill, the effect of this pill is quite clear: it produces an explosion. I remember that I made it using the Explosion Fruit as the main ingredient, but its power seems rather ordinary. It's almost impossible to kill a Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator. But if this pill could be fused with other pills, could it produce a qualitative change? After all, the Ice and Fire Rain last time was the effect of two pills being kneaded together." Ye Liuyun pondered, looking at the dark pill in his hand.

The art of alchemy is like scientific experiments on Earth; theory alone is useless, and ultimately, experimentation is necessary.

The art of alchemy in this world may seem simple, but it is actually no easier than scientific research; on the contrary, it is more difficult. Don't think that Ye Liuyun's fusion of pills is as easy as eating.

In fact, the precision of the blending of medicinal materials determines the power of the elixir. Generally speaking, the more meticulous Ye Liuyun is in synthesizing the same elixir, the stronger its medicinal effect will be.

Furthermore, Ye Liuyun's pills cannot be judged by common sense, since pills containing immortal energy are inherently illogical.

After much deliberation, Ye Liuyun realized he had no choice but to consult his master.

"Master, may I ask you something?" Ye Liuyun raised his hand and called out to the ring on his finger.

Lin Qingyou immediately revealed herself upon hearing the voice.

"Speak, what is it?" Lin Qingyou asked.

"Well, that's why the Ice Spirit Pill and Thousand Emotions Pill produced such great power when fused together last time. Could you explain it to me in detail?" Ye Liuyun could only ask Lin Qingyou for help.

Lin Qingyou quickly answered Ye Liuyun's question.

"That's the strange effect produced by the conflicting properties of the medicines. Under normal circumstances, to refine pills, you first need to properly combine the properties of the medicines. However, some medicinal materials are inherently incompatible and cannot be combined at all. This is the problem of the five elements' mutual restraint: water restrains fire, fire restrains metal, metal restrains wood, wood restrains earth, and earth restrains water. Forcibly combining medicinal materials that cannot be combined in the first place is generally impossible. Under normal circumstances, it will definitely cause the furnace to explode. You should understand this principle, right?" Lin Qingyou explained.

These are common sense, and Ye Liuyun naturally understands them. She also knows that the pill that can trigger ice, fire, and rain is mainly due to the effect of immortal power. If it were just two ordinary pills that clash, it would not have such great power.

However, those two pills also gave Ye Liuyun some inspiration.

"The five elements are mutually restraining and mutually generating. If we can combine the mutually generating pills together, can we further enhance the pills' effects?" Ye Liuyun raised this question.

"Of course, what? You don't want to try using the principle of mutual generation and restraint of attributes to amplify the effect of the pill, do you?" Lin Qingyou quickly understood what Ye Liuyun meant.

But to be honest, she didn't think it was anything fun. If she wasn't careful, it could cause a huge mess.

Lin Qingyou did not approve of harming innocent people. After all, if the synthesized pill contained terrifying explosive energy, it would be a devastating blow to Silent City.

While unusual celestial phenomena generally do not harm living beings, the power generated by the fusion of elixirs is another matter entirely.

"I want to try and see if I can increase the power of this explosive pill. If I can increase its power to the point where it can kill a Dao Palace level three cultivator, then I won't have to worry about the Misty Cloud Sect secretly targeting Ao Xue, and I'll be safe when I go out in the future," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingyou understood Ye Liuyun's thoughts and pondered for a moment.

"Then you should try using the Myriad Medicines Cauldron first. Fuse two kinds of pills in the Myriad Medicines Cauldron. Even if it explodes, it will be fine. If I find anything unusual, I will stop it immediately." Lin Qingyou finally agreed to Ye Liuyun's idea.

Because these kinds of things are hard to stop.

She can't afford to waste her power anymore. If she had enough power, she could easily help Ye Liuyun resolve this trouble.

"Okay, let's begin then." Ye Liuyun nodded.

With Lin Qingyou's assistance, Ye Liuyun's confidence increased greatly.

She quickly took out the Myriad Medicines Cauldron, along with the Explosion Pill and the Thunder Explosion Pill, both of which are destructive functional pills.

However, the Explosion Pill is a fire-attribute pill, while the Thunder Explosion Pill is a thunder-attribute pill.

The Thunder Explosion Pill releases a powerful electric current upon explosion, strong enough to injure a cultivator at the first level of the Dao Palace realm, but it would only work if it hits them, as Dao Palace cultivators are too fast.

The explosive pill's power can only injure cultivators at the Spirit Pattern Realm, and they also need to be within the range of the explosion's power.

This type of pill can only be used to launch a surprise attack. If it is thrown out openly and honestly, as long as the opponent is on guard, even a cultivator at the Spirit River Realm can dodge it in an instant.

This is why Ye Liuyun chooses to release many of these combat pills using his own body as a medium, which can also mislead and conceal the enemy.

Ye Liuyun's idea was to use the Explosion Pill as the core, and then use other pills to further increase the power of the Explosion Pill.

The first pill to be fused was the Thunder Explosion Pill. She felt that fusing the two pills might produce greater power, but whether it would actually produce greater power was hard to say.

As a bright green flame ignited inside the Myriad Medicines Cauldron, Ye Liuyun tossed two pills inside.

The Myriad Medicines Cauldron has the property of fusing any medicinal materials, so there will be no situation where the pills explode. However, that was only the fusion of medicinal materials. This time, it is the fusion of two kinds of pills. Who knows what will happen?

As the two pills fell into the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron, the Myriad Medicines Immortal Fire did not burn them. After all, Ye Liuyun's purpose was not to refine medicine; she only wanted to use the power of the cauldron and the immortal fire to suppress them.

If she were in a deserted area right now, Ye Liuyun could just make the pills by hand; there would be no need for all this trouble.

Ye Liuyun's biggest expectation now is to find a place where he can be completely undisturbed and has test subjects to study his pills.

"Come on, let's see what special effects will occur when these two pills are combined." Ye Liuyun's face showed a fanatical expression. Every time she synthesized a pill, she was as excited as a mad scientist.

Under Ye Liuyun's control, the two pills collided suddenly like yin and yang magatama, squeezing each other and releasing their medicinal effects at the same time.

The fire power of the Explosion Pill and the lightning power of the Thunder Explosion Pill merged together, forming two energies within the cauldron.

After the energy was generated, there were a few crackling sounds. The electric current of the Thunder Explosion Pill stimulated the power of the Explosion Pill, and both pills simultaneously lit up with a dazzling white light.

A series of destructive rays of light seemed to burst forth from the medicine cauldron, a sight that sent chills down Ye Liuyun's spine.

"What terrifying power! The fusion of these two powers probably surpasses the Sea of ​​Wheels realm," Ye Liuyun said, staring solemnly at the chaotic energy within the medicine cauldron.

However, this power was basically suppressed inside the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron and could not spread out at all. The power inside was like a wild beast imprisoned in a cage, constantly hitting the cauldron until the power of the two pills was exhausted before it stopped.

Although the power was suppressed within the cauldron, Ye Liuyun could still sense the destructive force generated by kneading the two pills together. As for whether this power could kill someone at the third level of the Dao Palace realm, she couldn't quite judge because her cultivation level was too low; she would have to let Lin Qingyou make the judgment.

Anyway, this energy would definitely kill her without any problem, so there's no need to experience it firsthand.

"Master, how is the situation? Is the combined power of these two pills enough to kill a Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator?" Ye Liuyun asked after watching the two pills turn to ashes.

But Lin Qingyou immediately shook her head.

"It's possible to kill someone at the first level of the Dao Palace realm with this pill, so the power isn't enough. I suggest trying a different pill or adding another one," Lin Qingyou said.

If Lin Qingyou says it's not enough, then it definitely isn't enough.

Left with no other choice, Ye Liuyun thought for a moment and then tentatively added a wood-attribute pill. However, this pill was a healing type and its effects were uncertain.

Anyway, it takes time. You can't make a powerful pill by just randomly combining them. You can only try one pill at a time or try fusing multiple pills. There is no other good way.

If they really can't fuse a powerful explosive pill, then they'll have to choose other methods. But that would mean Lin Aoxue would have to take a risk, so Ye Liuyun should try to avoid the risks as much as possible.

Around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Ye Liuyun's very surprised voice came from the room.

"What? What is this? My God, the energy is coming in waves! The power of the four pills complements each other, as if they can unleash infinite power!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed excitedly from inside the room.

At this moment, something very strange happened in Ye Liuyun's medicine cauldron in the room. After the normal energy fusion and explosion, the medicinal effect was immediately consumed.

But what was it like to fuse the pills this time? It was like wind fueling fire, thunder and fire merging, and the fusion generated new energy, wave after wave, until the effects of the four pills were completely exhausted before it stopped.

However, after the energy exploded, a large amount of residual lightning power remained. This explosive energy was not a conventional explosion, but rather radioactive and multi-faceted.

This was the fifty-second attempt, and finally, a powerful combination of pills was created.

This time, Ye Liuyun used five kinds of pills: Explosion Pill, Flash Pill, Thunder Explosion Pill, Sonic Boom Pill, and Growth-Promoting Pill, which were mixed together.

According to Lin Qingyou, the power was enough to kill a Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator. Even a Dao Palace Level 4 cultivator would not be able to withstand the destructive force of these four pills if they were at the center of the explosion.

"Don't be too happy yet. The simultaneous activation of these four pills did indeed produce unexpected destructive power. Even I was shocked just now. If the quantity were large enough, the power would probably be even more exaggerated. But the problem is that I discovered that these five pills need a certain amount of time to fuse in order to generate tremendous power. At the speed of a Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator, they should be able to escape the blast radius the moment the pills fully explode," Lin Qingyou reminded him with a frown.

Lin Qingyou meant that the combined power of the five projectiles was enough to kill a Dao Palace level three cultivator, as long as the opponent was within the blast radius. So the next step was to figure out how to prevent the opponent from escaping.

Or rather, how to prevent the opponent from detecting the energy brewing. It takes about five seconds for the energy of these five projectiles to fuse. Five seconds is enough time for a Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator to escape.

Although Ye Liuyun had some targeted pills, to be honest, these pills had very limited effect on those at the third level of the Dao Palace.

"This is troublesome. How can we ensure that the other party cannot escape?" Ye Liuyun was troubled again. She found it difficult to think of a way to kill the other party with absolute certainty.

However, it can't be said that there is no way out. She quickly came up with an idea, an idea that ordinary people could not possibly understand.

“Hey? I’ve got it, Master. What do you think? If I hide these four pills inside my body and then suddenly detonate them when the other party is about to get close to me, the chances of killing them would be much higher, right?” Ye Liuyun said.

She's planning to become a human bomb, but Ye Liuyun definitely won't die, so this method isn't entirely unworkable.

Ye Liuyun can impersonate Lin Aoxue and leave the city. If the other party really wants to assassinate Lin Aoxue, then the other party will definitely show up after she leaves the city alone.
