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

The next day, early in the morning, a commotion arose from all over the city. In a blind spot in Yanxia Street, several male and female cultivators lay dead.

Upon closer inspection, weren't these the same six sect cultivators who thought nothing of it yesterday?

Their eyes were wide open, their faces filled with terror, as if they had seen some terrifying monster.

Their bodies had no visible wounds, and there were no signs of a battle. They must have been killed instantly by cultivators far more powerful than them.

The cultivators of the Yanxia Sect are investigating the identities and causes of death of these individuals.

"The disciples of Hanling Sect had all their storage treasures stolen, and there were no injuries on their bodies. So, it must have been a soul attack. It seems that their souls were either absorbed or scattered in one go. We righteous cultivators would never use such a method. It must be some kind of evil technique."

"The leader of this group is at least at the Spirit Pattern Realm, and with several Spirit Sea Realm cultivators, they're quite strong. There's not a trace of fighting, so the cultivators who attacked them must be at least at the Foundation Establishment stage of the Dao Palace Realm." The disciple of the Yanxia Sect roughly analyzed their situation.

Not only here, but also some people have discovered that guests have died mysteriously in their inn rooms. The dead are all people who came from the Wanbaolou auction.

In other words, despite all the precautions, quite a few cultivators who participated in the Wanbaolou auction were still assassinated.

There were too many people last night. The number of cultivators from the four major sects in Silent City is limited, so it's impossible to completely prevent such things from happening.

In just one night, they counted that at least thirty or forty cultivators who participated in the Wanbaolou auction were killed.

Why do these people like to make their moves after the Wanbaolou auction ends? The reason is simple: most cultivators in the city are actually quite poor, but those who can attend the Wanbaolou auction are definitely not poor. If they find them and succeed, they can make a fortune.

The situation inside the city is actually not too bad, but the situation outside the city is more serious. Many sects have their own mining bases in Fallen Immortal Ridge, and they will choose to leave Silent City and return to their own bases.

Since sect cultivators usually act in groups, the possibility of them being attacked is generally low, but that doesn't mean it's impossible.

Last night, at least a dozen attacks occurred outside the city on sect cultivators. Some of them killed the attackers or repelled them, but a few weaker sect cultivator groups were intercepted and killed on the road.

Those who dare to openly take action outside the city are either independent cultivators, cultivators from other sects, or have been attacked by powerful cultivators.

In the Liuyang Mountains, there are indeed independent cultivators who have reached the Dao Palace realm, and these independent Dao Palace cultivators are even more ferocious than the Dao Palace cultivators of sects.

For cultivators from sects, breaking through to the Dao Palace level is extremely difficult. For a rogue cultivator to reach the Dao Palace level, they must be a ruthless character who doesn't care about their lives.

However, such things were nothing new to everyone. Every month after the Wanbaolou auction, some cultivators would die; they could only blame their bad luck.

Of course, if the deceased were sect cultivators, the higher-ups of those sects would definitely try to cause trouble with the four major sects. The four major sects would be responsible for the sect disciples who died in the city, and they would probably have to pay compensation.

"Where is your Senior Sister Lin? Where did she go? Has anyone seen her?" Yun Ming was currently searching for Lin Aoxue in the branch.

Didn't they photograph the Spirit Explosion Pill and the Spirit Breaking Pill? She has already reported the matter of these pills to Yun Yun. Yun Yun's idea is to give one-third of the pills to Lin Aoxue, and send the rest back to the sect.

"No, Senior Sister Lin and Senior Sister Ye left the branch three days ago and haven't come back since. Eh? Elder, could it be that the two senior sisters have already left Silent City?" said a cultivator who saw Ye Liuyun and the other two leave.

Yunming was taken aback, then quickly took out his communication device and sent a message to Lin Aoxue, asking where she was and if she was still in Silent City, asking her to return to the branch as soon as possible.

Lin Aoxue, who was still at Wanbaolou, immediately received the news. After reading it, she immediately spoke to Ye Liuyun.

"Uncle-Master Yunming said he needs to see me. How much longer will it take here? Is Jin Xiangrui trying to extort money from us? After all, whether the pills are effective or not seems to depend entirely on their word now. Aren't we being too passive?" Lin Aoxue whispered to Ye Liuyun after reading the message.

But Ye Liuyun remained calm.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Since I dared to do this, I have a way to ensure that the two of us can get away." Ye Liuyun reassured Lin Aoxue.

While they were talking, Jin Xiangrui finally received a message from her aunt.

The other party only said one thing: now that the ancestor has woken up, he should definitely thank the customer who sold the pills and fulfill all her requests.

Just that one sentence made Jin Xiangrui extremely excited, and she rushed to the private room where Ye Liuyun was as fast as she could.

"That's wonderful, that's wonderful, Young Master Ye! Your pills are indeed effective. The deal is done. Here, this is what I promised you. If the effects are real, I will pay you another 10 billion spirit stones." Jin Xiangrui's face was full of excitement and joy.

She knew how badly their ancestor had been injured; his soul had been shattered during the heavenly tribulation, leaving him practically half-dead. She never expected that Ye Liuyun's pill would revive their ancestor.

Looking at Jin Xiangrui's excited expression, Ye Liuyun knew that he had made the right bet.

"Haha, then congratulations, Master Jin." Ye Liuyun said calmly, and at the same time accepted the spirit stones given by Jin Xiangrui. With 20 billion spirit stones in hand, it should be enough for her and Lin Aoxue to squander for a while.

"This is entirely thanks to Young Master Ye's pill. To be honest, Young Master Ye, the value of this pill is far more than 200 billion. Our headquarters said that if you feel you've lost out, we can renegotiate the value of this pill. Even 20 billion spirit stones or more would be fine," Jin Xiangrui said jokingly.

Her aunt's idea was for her to do her best to win over Ye Liuyun, or rather, to find a way to get close to the top alchemist behind Ye Liuyun.

It's good to get to know alchemists like this; they'll definitely be useful in the future.

Upon hearing Jin Xiangrui's words, Ye Liuyun smiled and shook his head.

"No need, it's all agreed beforehand. A deal can't be changed easily. I've said it before, I'm not that greedy. Let's leave it at that. Now that the deal is done, we should both be going." Ye Liuyun said, and then he and Lin Aoxue were about to leave.

"Eh? Young Master Ye, are you really not asking for anything else? This makes me uneasy. If it's a transaction, it has to be fair," Jin Xiangrui quickly said.

After thinking for a while, Ye Liuyun suddenly glanced at Lin Aoxue and then chuckled to himself.

"Hey? Well, Master Jin, if you really want to repay me, how about this? I don't ask for much. Could you give me a set of that red robe you wore on the auction stage not long ago?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

As soon as she said this, Jin Xiangrui froze. Her first instinct was to look at Lin Aoxue next to Ye Liuyun.

To put it simply, she could tell that Lin Aoxue was not Ye Liuyun's maid at all, and her demeanor was not that of a maid. She felt that Ye Liuyun had asked for those clothes to be worn by the maid in front of her.

For some reason, Jin Xiangrui was a little disappointed. That outfit was no ordinary thing; there were only a handful of them in the entire Nanling region.

That was the Seven Illusions Glazed Skirt, specially made for the direct female members of their family. It was a high-end, special magical artifact with many functions and a very high value, starting at least at hundreds of millions of spirit stones. It was also a treasure that showcased the family's status.

However, compared to Ye Liuyun's pill, this thing is insignificant.

Without much hesitation, Jin Xiangrui waved her hand, and the golden and red Seven Illusion Glass Dress appeared neatly in her hand.

"Young Master Ye, here you go. This garment is called the Seven Illusions Glazed Skirt, and it is a special magical artifact..." Jin Xiangrui handed the item to Ye Liuyun with both hands, while also giving a brief explanation of its effects.

Ye Liuyun was stunned when he saw Jin Xiangrui take out this set of precious clothes so decisively. Lin Qingyou had told her that this set of clothes was extremely expensive to make.

Ye Liuyun was just saying it casually, but unexpectedly, she actually agreed.

Why? Because this treasure is absolutely the most precious item in Wanbaolou.

"This? Well, hehe, Master Jin, I was just joking." Ye Liuyun quickly said awkwardly.

But Jin Xiangrui's next words left Ye Liuyun speechless.

“Young Master Ye, are you saying you don’t like this because I’ve worn it before? If so, please wait a few more days, and I can have headquarters send over another set,” Jin Xiangrui said seriously.

Ye Liuyun didn't want to wait a few more days; she had already had enough of being here.

"Eh? No need, no need, this set is fine. It's a magic item, not ordinary clothes." Ye Liuyun still took the clothes.

As soon as you receive it, you can tell that this clothing is extraordinary; the feel of it is incredibly comfortable.

"Alright, Master Jin, goodbye. Xiaoxue, let's go." Ye Liuyun informed Lin Aoxue, and the two left under Jin Xiangrui's somewhat helpless gaze.

If Lin Aoxue hadn't been squatting beside her, she might have actually tried to get closer to Ye Liuyun.

The two quickly left Wanbaolou and then found a place to revert to their original forms. After reverting to their original forms, Lin Aoxue immediately asked in a low voice.

"You rascal, are you up to something again? You don't want anything else, but you insist on things that woman has worn. Let me tell you, don't even think about making me wear that stuff," Lin Aoxue said preemptively.

She knew Ye Liuyun too well; he definitely wanted her to sell her body to satisfy his evil desires.

"This is a good thing, don't be ungrateful. I'm not asking you to wear it around. We can wear it for fun in private. Just consider it satisfying my curiosity, hehe." Ye Liuyun made no attempt to hide his intentions.

Ever since he saw Jin Xiangrui wearing that dress at the auction, Ye Liuyun had been fantasizing about how wonderful it would be if his wife wore it.

"You're so evil! Wear what you want to wear yourself. I don't wear things that other people have used. I'm a germaphobe," Lin Aoxue complained.

She felt that Ye Liuyun was really becoming more and more unrestrained.

"Tch! I came here specifically for you, and you're still not happy? Oh, right, here, take this 10 billion spirit stones, spend it however you like." Ye Liuyun tossed Lin Aoxue a storage ring.

Lin Aoxue did not refuse.

"Ugh! I feel like I'm being kept by you. I'm so embarrassed," Lin Aoxue murmured, looking at the ring in her hand.

Ye Liuyun chuckled and said no more.

The two quickly returned to the Yunxia Sect branch. After returning, Yunming called Lin Aoxue over alone and gave her dozens of Exploding Spirit Pills and one Breaking Spirit Pill.

Lin Aoxue was speechless. She never expected that the pills sold by Ye Liuyun would be purchased by her own sect.

Of course, Lin Aoxue accepted it.

"Elder Yunming, my sister and I are about to leave Silent City. We've stayed here long enough," Lin Aoxue said after accepting the pills.

“Ah? Aoxue, the area around Silent City has been very unsafe these past few days. Just last night, dozens of people died inside the city, and even more cultivators were ambushed and killed outside. I think we should wait a few more days until things calm down,” Elder Yunming suggested.

Lin Aoxue refused at that time.

"No need, don't worry. Don't you know my combat strength? I'm already at the late stage of the Spirit Pattern Realm. With combat strength like this, why would I be afraid of danger?" Lin Aoxue said proudly.

This sentence immediately shut down what Yunming wanted to say. Indeed, although Lin Aoxue's cultivation level was not high, her combat power was probably no weaker than hers. With such cultivation, there was basically nothing to fear.

After all, the strongest people in this area are only at the Dao Palace Out-of-Body Realm, and there are only a handful of them.

Left with no other choice, Yunming could only tell Lin Aoxue and the other person to be careful, and also to not head towards Tianduan Ridge, as the closer they got to Tianduan Ridge, the more dangerous it would be.

After agreeing to Yunming's request, Lin Aoxue returned to Ye Liuyun's residence.

"Look at these pills. All the pills sold at the auction were bought back by our own sect, and then some of them were given to me. I don't know whether to laugh or cry." As soon as Lin Aoxue entered Ye Liuyun's room, she placed the pills on the table.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun couldn't help but chuckle.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. By the way, Aoxue, why don't you try this dress on and see how it looks? Just wear it for a bit. I just smelled it, and there's no other woman's scent on it." Ye Liuyun handed the Seven Illusions Glazed Dress to Lin Aoxue.

Lin Aoxue really wanted to refuse, but when she saw Ye Liuyun's expectant expression, after thinking for a while, she decided to grant Ye Liuyun's request. As long as she didn't wear it out, it would be fine.

"Fine, fine, I just can't do anything with you. You wait." After saying that, Lin Aoxue took her clothes and went back to her room.

Ye Liuyun waited expectantly.

Because Lin Qingyou told her that this Seven Illusions Glazed Skirt had a special effect comparable to a seductive spell.

About ten minutes later, Ye Liuyun's door was opened, but the moment the door opened, a completely different Lin Aoxue appeared in front of Ye Liuyun.

"Husband, how do I look? Is my outfit alright?" Lin Aoxue asked Ye Liuyun with a charming smile as she stood at the door.

At this moment, Lin Aoxue was incredibly charming, and it didn't seem like she was faking it, because Lin Aoxue's personality wouldn't allow her to make such alluring and delicate movements.

"Huh? Me? Holy crap?" Ye Liuyun was completely dumbfounded when he saw Lin Aoxue.

"What's wrong? Didn't you tell her to dress like this? Why are you staring blankly? You look like a fool. Hehe." Lin Aoxue giggled when she saw Ye Liuyun's expression.

However, what Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun saw was different. In Lin Aoxue's own view, she didn't speak in such a delicate voice; she spoke and acted normally. However, her actions and tone created a certain visual illusion in Ye Liuyun's eyes.

This is what Lin Qingyou referred to as the perception adjustment; the Seven Illusions Glazed Skirt affects a cultivator's six senses.

"Damn, Aoxue, I never expected you to be so charming! This is the first time I've ever seen you like this. I can't help but want to fall at your feet!" Ye Liuyun said exaggeratedly.

Danlin Aoxue was completely confused at this moment. She had no idea what the clothes were supposed to do. She just felt that Ye Liuyun had suddenly gone crazy and was saying so many nonsensical things to her.

The two were practically conversing in two different dimensions.

She felt there must be something wrong with the clothes, so she quickly turned around and ran back to her room.

"Hey? Don't go! Let me take another look!" Ye Liuyun called out with great interest.

Unfortunately, Lin Aoxue quickly changed her clothes and then stormed back to Ye Liuyun's room with them in her arms.

"Hey! What were you doing just now? Why did you suddenly say so many strange things to me? It was so cheesy. Does this dress have some other effect that I don't know about?" Lin Aoxue asked back.

"Hey! You could at least wear it a little longer so I can have some fun," Ye Liuyun said, rolling her eyes.

Lin Aoxue became curious. After thinking for a moment, she handed the clothes to Ye Liuyun.

"Try it on and let me see how it looks," Lin Aoxue gestured.

Ye Liuyun thought about it and didn't refuse, because she was also quite curious. So she changed into the clothes in the room. These clothes were treasures, not ordinary things. Their size could automatically adjust to the user's body.

This clothing is specially made for women, and one of its effects is to infinitely enhance the wearer's charm, while also modifying the wearer's perceived attractiveness in the eyes of the opposite sex, and also having an invisible hallucinogenic effect.

After Ye Liuyun changed into this outfit, Lin Aoxue didn't seem to notice anything wrong with him.

"How is it, my queen, your concubine, am I beautiful?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile as he walked up to Lin Aoxue after changing his clothes.

Unfortunately, the effect of the clothes didn't seem to affect Lin Aoxue.

"That's strange, I don't seem to notice anything different about you," Lin Aoxue said, puzzled.

Ye Liuyun immediately remembered something.

"Huh? I almost forgot, this dress only affects the senses of the opposite sex. You're a normal woman, so this dress won't work on you," Ye Liuyun said with some disappointment.

"So, what exactly are the effects of this clothing? Tell me about it!" Lin Aoxue pressed.

Ye Liuyun stopped dodging the question and then described the effect of the clothes.

A moment later...

"This? You, Ye Liuyun, I knew it! You men just like those kinds of frivolous women, what a perverse taste!" Lin Aoxue's face flushed red after hearing this.

"No, no, no, this is called flirting, you know? Flirting, do you understand? It's a different experience, you know? Don't be so resistant, it's not like you're wearing it for others to see, just wear it for me to see." Ye Liuyun said with a grin.
