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

"Huh?" Her sudden offer left the VIP, number 52, speechless.

But there was nothing he could do, so he had no choice but to keep bidding.

"166 million spirit stones," VIP number 52 bid again.

However, Ye Liuyun was determined to get this item and had no intention of letting him have it. Moreover, Ye Liuyun didn't want to slowly raise the price with him, so she directly pressed a round number.

"200 million spirit stones."

The price immediately silenced VIP number 52.

Because the value of the "First Chapter of Heavenly Creation" was already high at 160 million spirit stones, it is now worth 200 million spirit stones, which far exceeds its value. Although VIP No. 52 really wanted this item, it would be a huge loss for him to be ripped off.

After careful consideration, he had no choice but to give up. This item was nothing rare; Wanbaolou would sell a copy every now and then, so there was no need to force it. Waiting for the next auction was also an option.

Even if he has now collected the first and second parts, so what?

"Is this VIP number 98 out of his mind? The Heavenly Creation Manual is not a rare thing. 160 million is about right. Why 200 million spirit stones? Does he have money to burn?" Many guests couldn't understand what Ye Liuyun was thinking.

Of course, Ye Liuyun didn't know this either. She just wanted it. Besides, she wasn't short of money. When faced with something she wanted, she basically didn't consider its market value.

In this way, Ye Liuyun first obtained the first chapter of Heavenly Creation. Not only that, Ye Liuyun later bought a beginner array diagram. The 500 million spirit stones he had earned earlier were gone again.

"Ah! Not enough! 500 million spirit stones are gone after just two items. Looks like I need to earn even more spirit stones," Ye Liuyun sighed.

Lin Aoxue immediately made a sarcastic remark.

"Please, you're spending your own money. Most of those who made the bids were from sects, and even tens or hundreds of millions of them wouldn't be a problem. Where would an individual get that much money? My master could only afford a few million spirit stones. You, a mere Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, have the wealth of a fourth-level Dao Palace cultivator. Don't be dissatisfied."

Lin Aoxue wasn't joking. A sect needs a lot of spirit stones to operate every month. Even if someone has tens of millions in assets, they can only use up to a third of them. Any more than that, and they have to consider whether the sect can afford it.

Chapter 205 Falling into the Underworld

I've obtained both the formation techniques and the methods for refining weapons.

Ye Liuyun currently has almost nothing she wants. For someone like her who is immortal, she has almost no need for the things that ordinary cultivators need.

To put it bluntly, although she is not an immortal, she is actually no different from an immortal, and even more outrageous than an immortal, because immortals do not have the property of immortality. Although they can live for a long time, they will also die of old age and can be killed.

All Ye Liuyun is doing right now is enriching his own life and helping Lin Aoxue become stronger. Once Lin Aoxue becomes stronger and fearless of any threat, Ye Liuyun can basically rest assured.

The auction was still going on, but Ye Liuyun sighed as he realized he had nothing left to buy.

But at that moment, she didn't know why, she suddenly felt very sleepy. Maybe she was just too bored, since she had been sitting there and couldn't do anything else.

"Strange, I'm feeling a bit sleepy." Ye Liuyun yawned.

"Aoxue, could you keep an eye out for other secondary profession cultivation methods, such as methods for enchanting, beast driving, or talismans? I haven't finished looking at all 300 auction items, so I don't know if there are any more. I'm thinking of taking a nap," Ye Liuyun said.

Lin Aoxue was taken aback. Before she could say anything, Ye Liuyun had already fallen asleep on her shoulder.

"Huh? Why did you fall asleep so suddenly?" Lin Aoxue was a little confused about what was wrong with Ye Liuyun.

However, after seeing that Ye Liuyun had already fallen asleep, she did not disturb him, but instead focused her attention on the big screen.

As for Ye Liuyun, her current state was somewhat inexplicable. The moment she closed her eyes, she became somewhat disoriented and her consciousness was a little out of control.

The once brightly lit private room gradually became dim, as if dusk had arrived, and a strange sense of gloom arose spontaneously.

The most bizarre thing was that time seemed to stand still at that moment. A large amount of black sludge erupted from the floor of the private room like a fountain, instantly engulfing the entire room.

At the eruption point of the black mud, a skull wreathed in ghostly flames crawled out of the mud pit.

Upon closer inspection, this seems to be the same evil cultivator who turned into a demon after consuming Ye Liuyun's elixir last time. Unexpectedly, he has reappeared.

This skull is different from the usual skulls; its bones have streaks of emerald green, making it instantly recognizable as the same one from last time.

"Ye Liuyun, come with me. The Lord of the Underworld requests your presence." The skull called out to Ye Liuyun, who was lying next to Lin Aoxue, as if summoning his soul.

After that sound, Ye Liuyun's soul actually separated from his body and then drifted uncontrollably toward the skull.

The strangest thing is that Ye Liuyun's consciousness seems to be in a daze, and he has no idea what happened.

This scene was too bizarre. After Ye Liuyun's soul arrived in the black mud area, it gradually sank into the black mud.

Ye Liuyun finally regained consciousness.

"Huh? What's going on?" Just as Ye Liuyun's body was half-submerged in the black mud, she suddenly regained consciousness, but it was a little late.

She stared at the black mud that had submerged her, her expression bewildered. At the same time, she looked at the skull in front of her. Although she wasn't sure if it was the evil spirit she had created with the pills last time, judging from its appearance, it should be that skull.

"It's you again? Who are you? What are you trying to do?" Ye Liuyun asked anxiously.

But the skull just watched Ye Liuyun sink into the black mud without telling her what was happening. No matter how much Ye Liuyun struggled, it was no use. She could only look at Lin Aoxue beside her.

Upon looking at it, she realized that her soul had left her body.

"Aoxue, Aoxue," Ye Liuyun called out to Lin Aoxue several times.

Unfortunately, time and space in this area seemed to be frozen, and Lin Aoxue had no reaction at all. Ye Liuyun eventually fell into the darkness.

The skull didn't disappear; instead, it remained, maintaining the black mud mass.

Ye Liuyun felt as if he were falling into darkness, continuing to fall until the darkness dissipated and Ye Liuyun's soul arrived in another world.

She still looks completely bewildered.

"Huh? Where is this place?" Ye Liuyun looked around after regaining his senses.

She was standing at the entrance of a magnificent and imposing yet eerie palace.

This palace was a colossal behemoth, while she was like an ant. A hazy mist filled the air, and most of the palace was hidden in the fog.

The palace exuded a strong smell of decay. It was a massive wooden palace, and numerous pale blue spirits flew around it. Above the main gate was a plaque.

It's so quiet here that it doesn't feel like a place where any living thing exists.

"The Netherworld Palace? What is this place?" Ye Liuyun was completely bewildered. This place didn't feel like his own world at all; it felt more like the legendary Netherworld.

Of course, she had never seen what the underworld looked like. Anyway, if there were an underworld, it would definitely feel like this: deathly still, utterly still.

"Gurgle!"

Ye Liuyun swallowed hard; she had a bad feeling.

But just as she was lost in thought, a strangely dressed woman strolled out of the dilapidated palace. Why strangely dressed? Because her attire was very modern.

She was dressed in a modern black business suit, with high heels and black stockings, but she walked without making a sound.

"You? You must be Miss Ye? Please come in, Miss Ye. Our chairman is waiting for you inside." The black-haired woman with glasses and modern business attire smiled and gestured for Ye Liuyun to enter.

Ye Liuyun stared blankly at the other person's attire.

"Huh? Who are you? Your chairman? Where is this place? You're dressed like an Earthling." Ye Liuyun was confused.

Ye Liuyun's words startled the woman.

"Miss Ye, you actually know about Earth? Well, speaking of which, I was indeed an Earthling in my previous life. My name is Yang Xia, but I am now the chairman's personal secretary." The woman was also a little confused by Ye Liuyun's question, but she still introduced herself.

Judging from Ye Liuyun's attire, she thought he shouldn't be from Earth, yet he knew about Earth's existence. In fact, she didn't know Ye Liuyun's identity either; she was just ordered to guide him.

"Before death? What do you mean? You, you're not a living person?" Ye Liuyun's expression changed; the other party's words revealed a lot of information.

"Hehe, Miss Ye, according to the understanding of the living, I should be considered a ghost, right?" Yang Xia explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun involuntarily took a few steps back.

"What? Could this really be the Netherworld? Damn it, how did that skull pull my soul into the Netherworld? This shouldn't be happening. I can't die. I've died so many times and never been to the Netherworld. How could I possibly be here? Master, Master, are you there?" Ye Liuyun was anxious. She quickly called out to Lin Qingyou in her mind.

Unfortunately, she seemed to have lost contact with Lin Qingyou and was completely unaware of Lin Qingyou's presence.

"Miss Ye, don't worry. Our chairman just wants to see you, he has no other intentions." Yang Xia quickly comforted Ye Liuyun when she saw that she looked scared.

"This...this isn't the Netherworld, is it?" Ye Liuyun asked, frowning.

"Well, to be precise, it's the underworld. It's really strange. For our chairman, this is the first time we've ever invited a living soul to the underworld. She said that she and you are very good friends and she wanted to take this opportunity to meet you," Yang Xia said with a smile.

After she finished speaking, she gestured for Ye Liuyun to enter the palace again, and Ye Liuyun became more and more uneasy.

But since things had come to this, she could only take it one step at a time. She took a deep breath and followed the other person into the palace.

Inside the palace, the surroundings were shrouded in mist, but on the ground grew a large number of dark blue flowers, and Ye Liuyun seemed to be moving forward as if he were stepping on flowers.

Ye Liuyun looked around at her surroundings and then lowered her head. She was wondering if she had been dragged down to the underworld because she couldn't die and had disrupted the cycle of yin and yang. Was this the reason why the ruler of the underworld was causing her trouble?

Of course, it's hard to say exactly what happened right now; we'll just have to wait and see.

After walking for a while, Ye Liuyun soon arrived at the end of the palace.

At the far end of the palace stands an office desk larger than any mountain, creating an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"Chairman, Miss Ye has arrived." Yang Xia immediately bowed respectfully to the person in front.

Ye Liuyun was confused again. She was trying to figure out where the other person was, but she soon found out. A clear, cold voice, like muffled thunder, reached her ears.

"Oh, I see."

As the voice faded, the surrounding mist suddenly dissipated, revealing a figure gradually emerging from behind the massive table.

The woman, dressed in a black halter dress and with a modern style, appeared enormous to Ye Liuyun, and her attire seemed out of place in the surroundings.

After the fog dissipated, she could see the palace environment clearly. It was obviously a very ancient setting, but Yang Xia and the woman were dressed in modern clothes.

This woman is very beautiful, and has a similar temperament to Lin Aoxue.

"Wow, so big!" That was Ye Liuyun's first reaction upon seeing the woman.

The other party also turned their attention to Ye Liuyun.

When Ye Liuyun saw the other person's eyes, an image inexplicably appeared in her mind. What kind of image? It was a picture of a green tree in a gray world, gradually decaying and turning into dust.

"Strange? What's that image in my head?" Ye Liuyun was confused by the image in his head.

"You can go now, I have something to say to her." The large woman waved to Yang Xia.

Yang Xia nodded, and the next moment, her body turned into a wisp of black mist and disappeared from the spot, leaving only Ye Liuyun and the mysterious woman in the place.

The other woman stared at Ye Liuyun for a long time without saying a word, but soon she uttered a dignified question.

"Ye Liuyun, you have disrupted the order of Yin and Yang. What is your punishment?" the woman suddenly asked with a serious expression.

This was so sudden, and the tone of his voice sounded like he was judging her.

"You? Who are you?" For some reason, although the woman in front of him was very imposing, Ye Liuyun felt no fear towards her and had a strange sense of familiarity about her.

When the woman heard Ye Liuyun say that, she raised an eyebrow. The next moment, the surrounding palaces, along with the woman, began to shrink rapidly, and in no time, they returned to their normal size.

These incredible skills made Ye Liuyun think that the person in front of him might be the Lord of the Underworld, or at least a big figure in the Underworld.

The woman in the black dress looked very troubled. She stood up, her body flashed, and she appeared behind Ye Liuyun. She grabbed Ye Liuyun's neck and questioned him.

"Hey! Why aren't you staying in your original place? What are you doing running around everywhere? Don't you know that some of your actions have already begun to disrupt order?"

Ye Liuyun was startled and instinctively tried to push the woman away, but unfortunately, he couldn't budge her at all, nor could he escape from her embrace.

"What are you doing? Let me go." Ye Liuyun struggled a few times.

"Hmph! With your current strength, you shouldn't struggle. Didn't I tell you last time not to act recklessly? You killed a few more people recently. Don't you know that their souls have broken free from the cycle of reincarnation? They've disrupted the order of my underworld," the woman in the black dress reminded her unhappily.

The woman kept speaking in riddles to Ye Liuyun, but judging from her attitude towards him, the two clearly knew each other.

"No, who are you? Stop talking about things I don't understand!" Ye Liuyun struggled for a few moments, then became speechless.

Seeing Ye Liuyun's bewildered expression, the woman was clearly somewhat helpless.

"Ugh! This is so annoying. Your current state is making me very anxious. I really want to put you back in the primordial place. Anyway, let me put it this way: my name is Wang You, the Lord of the Underworld. I warned you last time, but you didn't listen. This time, I have no choice but to invite you to the Underworld."

"Your immortality will liberate the people you kill, freeing their souls from the shackles of their bodies and turning them into different life forms, existing outside the cycle of reincarnation. Isn't Lin Aoxue right beside you? Let her do the killing. You can't truly kill the living."

Wang You said with a helpless expression.

"Lord of the Underworld? Huh? This really is the Underworld? Strange, if I can't die, why am I in the Underworld?" Ye Liuyun was stunned.

"Who said you're dead? I just used that little skeleton as a medium to temporarily bring you to the underworld so I could explain the situation to you in person," Wang You said irritably.

Chapter 206 A Strange Dream

So far, their conversation remains in a state of confusion and ambiguity, or rather, Ye Liuyun is unable to understand Wang You's meaning.

In fact, ever since Ye Liuyun's soul left his body, his mind has been in a very strange state, a state of being half-awake.

She had a dreamlike, hazy feeling about everything that was happening.

My brain is constantly stuck when I'm thinking about problems; to put it bluntly, my brain isn't working very well right now.
