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

"You seem to hate our Yunxia Sect very much. I'm curious, why is that?" Lin Aoxue walked towards the old man with her sword in hand.

The old man struggled to prop himself up with a stick and then spoke without fear of death.

"Why? That's ridiculous. How many small sects have been wiped out by your powerful sects? My sect is just a declining sect on the verge of disappearing from the world. But more than a hundred years ago, my master accidentally injured one of your Yunxia Sect's inner disciples, and your Yunxia Sect sent an elder at the third level of the Dao Palace to our sect to force my master and uncle to their deaths. Since then, our Five Spirits Sect has been extinct."

"Without the Dao Palace experts in charge, how can I, a mere Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator, rebuild the sect? Cultivation resources are monopolized by your powerful sects. What can we, cultivators without sects or affiliations, do but attack other lone cultivators? There's nothing more to say. I know I'm no match for you. If you want to kill me, then kill me. Stop wasting words," the old man sneered.

It seems to be an enemy of the Yunxia Sect. The Yunxia Sect definitely has enemies; there is no doubt about that.

But this happened a hundred years ago, and Lin Aoxue certainly wouldn't know what exactly happened.

However, this is normal. In the cultivation world, hatred can last for thousands of years, let alone a hundred. It's not like they've gone mad.

Lin Aoxue fell into deep thought. She knew that there were quite a few small sects that had been destroyed by powerful sects for various reasons, and even their Yunxia Sect must have done such a thing.

For a very weak small force with only Dao Palace level one and two experts in charge, the fall of a Dao Palace expert means the end of the sect.

According to the rules of the cultivation world, only Dao Palace cultivators can create sects. Once there are no more Dao Palace cultivators, the sect is essentially wiped out.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll grant your wish." Lin Aoxue disappeared from her spot again, her speed completely beyond the old man's detection range. She knew that the woman in front of her was still not using her full strength.

The moment Lin Aoxue disappeared, the old man felt a sharp pain in his neck, and his vision went completely dark. He must have thought he had been killed.

But in reality, Lin Aoxue only knocked him unconscious.

After all, Ye Liuyun had told her not to kill them immediately.

As for the other side, the reason why Lin Aoxue did not chase after the seven people was because Ye Liuyun had already gone to capture them.

Sure enough, before the group had even run a few thousand meters, they were stopped by a woman who appeared out of nowhere.

"You can't leave."

Ye Liuyun descended from the sky, his body shimmering with golden light, and fell towards the location of the seven people like a cannonball.

As soon as the seven men saw Ye Liuyun landing, they immediately recognized him as one of the two men they had attacked.

However, in their perception, the seemingly frail woman in front of them was at most only at the Spirit Stream Realm cultivation level.

With such cultivation level, why would he dare to pursue them alone?

"How dare you! You're just a mere Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, chasing us all by yourself?" The big man who cultivated earth-attribute techniques immediately gathered his strength, wanting to fight back against Ye Liuyun who was descending from the sky.

But when his fist touched Ye Liuyun's foot, an irresistible force came from his arm.

"This? Such strength, this is impossible, ah..." The man's arm broke on the spot, but Ye Liuyun slightly reduced his strength, then dodged the man and landed on the ground.

The terrifying destructive force of the kick shattered the ground layer by layer. Since the attack was aimed right in the middle of the group, the center exploded instantly, and the big guy and the other six were sent flying by the brute force.

The six people who were sent flying backward immediately tried to defend themselves, but the flying stones were unusually aimed at them. Three men and women with low combat strength had their defenses pierced by the rapidly flying stones and were hit in the body.

"Pfft!" The three of them spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground, unable to get up. The big guy fainted, after all, he was closest to Ye Liuyun.

In that instant, four people lost their fighting ability, and three others, seeing their companion injured, were filled with murderous intent.

"Damn it, let's fight her!" The three of them realized that this woman, who seemed to be only at the Spirit Stream Realm, was no ordinary person.

The power of that single landing kick definitely possesses the strength of a Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator.

This is the power Ye Liuyun unleashed by combining the Wind God Pill, Vajra Pill, and Light Body Pill; it's enough to deal with ordinary Spirit Pattern Realm cultivators.

The three men drew their weapons and charged at Ye Liuyun. The young man who used fire magic wielded a sword similar to a Tang sword and slashed at Ye Liuyun's head.

However, Ye Liuyun didn't even dodge; she simply turned her head away, letting the other person's knife strike her shoulder.

"Go to hell." The young man thought Ye Liuyun was doomed.

But he was immediately dumbfounded. He struck Ye Liuyun's shoulder with all his might, and surprisingly, it made a sound like metal clashing. His sword and Ye Liuyun were both sent flying.

"How is this possible?" The young man stared blankly at Ye Liuyun, who was completely unharmed.

Ye Liuyun responded with an innocent smile, then swiftly slapped him on the chest.

"Pfft!" The young man who used fire magic immediately bulged his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backward, rolling more than ten meters on the ground and losing his fighting ability.

"Third junior brother?" The young man who used metal-based techniques was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.

He felt that the woman in front of him was like a monster. How strong must she be to withstand the attack of a human-level magic weapon with her bare body?

"Monster." The woman who used wood-attribute techniques quickly used her skills, and wooden spikes made of condensed energy shot out from the ground, piercing towards Ye Liuyun, but still could not harm a single hair on Ye Liuyun's head.

The other man seized the opportunity to thrust his sword at Ye Liuyun's heart, but just as his sword was about to touch Ye Liuyun's body, Ye Liuyun swiftly grabbed the opponent's weapon, preventing the attack from advancing even half a step.

"Damn, what terrifying power!" The young man using metal-based techniques felt as if his weapon was being clamped by pincers, completely unable to move.

What happened next was even more frightening. Ye Liuyun smiled slightly, then gently snapped his sword in two.

"My sword?" The young man was dumbfounded.

Before he could react, Ye Liuyun launched another attack. Ye Liuyun swung his fist and smashed it into the young man's face. The young man's eyes rolled back, and he flew three or four zhang away, landing on the ground unconscious. At this point, only the female cultivator who practiced wood-attribute techniques remained standing.

"what……"

The female cultivator was so frightened by Ye Liuyun that she turned and ran away, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Lin Aoxue descending from the sky.

When the female cultivator saw the old man being held in Lin Aoxue's hand, she screamed in fright, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? I'm not a demon. Why did you faint when you saw me?" Lin Aoxue said speechlessly, looking at the female cultivator lying on the ground.

"Hehe, I scared him first, and then you suddenly appeared and startled him, so naturally he fainted," Ye Liuyun chuckled.

Lin Aoxue glanced at the battlefield, then looked speechless.

"How come you're even more violent than me? Did you kill him?" Lin Aoxue casually tossed the old man aside and asked.

"Don't worry, it only rendered them incapable of fighting. How could I let my test subjects die like that?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

So the two men took out ropes, tied up the eight men, and dragged them toward their own camp.

Their camp was right next door; Lin Aoxue had already seen it.

Chapter 211 Mining Area Turmoil (Revised)

The camp of these eight people was a hidden mountain cave, the entrance of which was blocked by a large rock.

Lin Aoxue discovered this place after defeating the old man. She easily shattered the stone with a single sword strike and then went inside.

"Wait, Aoxue, there's another formation inside. Check if this old man has a protective token to control the formation." Ye Liuyun quickly stopped Lin Aoxue as the two were about to step into the formation.

Lin Aoxue nodded, then went to the unconscious old man's side, searched his body, and finally found some items in his storage ring, including a tattered array book and a token.

Ye Liuyun recognized the token as the control token for the formation at a glance, so he took the token and then used his spiritual power to signal it towards the cave entrance.

As the array was activated, the hidden array inside stopped functioning.

"Okay, all done," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

After dispelling the formation inside, the two dragged the guys inside. Once inside, they found several caves and a lot of living supplies. It seemed that this place was the group's camp.

"Let's stay here for a while, wake them up first, and then see what to do with them," Lin Aoxue suggested.

Ye Liuyun immediately took out several enhanced hemostatic pills that he had refined himself and stuffed them into their mouths. Although these pills were not as effective as the Rejuvenation Pill, they were enough to prevent them from dying from severe injuries, although the recovery effect was slower.

After the eight people took the pills, they woke up one after another. However, as soon as they woke up, they found themselves tied up like a pretzel, and no matter how much they struggled, it was useless.

The ropes binding them are also magical artifacts; once a cultivator from the Sea of ​​Wheels is bound by these things, it is very difficult for them to break free.

"Eh? You, you still didn't escape? Alas! Heaven has forsaken my Five Spirits Sect." As soon as the old man woke up, he saw his disciples sitting dejectedly beside him and immediately let out a long sigh.

These seven people were also quite helpless.

"I'm sorry, Master. We didn't get very far before we encountered this woman. She's like a monster; her physical strength is terrifying. The seven of us are no match for her," the old man's eldest disciple said dejectedly.

Seeing this group of people sighing and complaining, Lin Aoxue immediately spoke up in annoyance.

"Hey, hey, hey, who's the victim here? Weakness is no excuse for you to attack us."

Knowing they were doomed to die today, the eight men snorted coldly and ignored Lin Aoxue.

Ye Liuyun looked at the eight people and then whispered to Lin Aoxue.

"These eight people don't seem like they belong to any evil sect. Judging from their methods, they seem more like those of a celestial sect," Ye Liuyun asked.

Lin Aoxue immediately told Ye Liuyun the information she knew.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then slipped a Truth-Telling Pill into the old man's hand.

"Damn it, what did you feed my master? Just kill him if you want, there's no need to torture him." The old man's disciples were furious when they saw Ye Liuyun's behavior.

"What are you yelling about? Shut up, or you'll regret it later." Lin Aoxue glared at them.

Upon hearing Lin Aoxue's threat, the seven men showed expressions of fear. For them, death was probably the best possible outcome at the moment.

"Speak, why did you attack us?" Ye Liuyun asked immediately after the old man took the pill.

The old man had originally intended to remain silent and await death, but for some reason, the moment he heard Ye Liuyun's voice, his thoughts and mouth seemed to be out of control, and he instinctively spoke.

"My sect has a grudge against your Yunxia Sect, why ask so many questions?" the old man replied.

But as soon as the old man finished answering, he immediately realized something was wrong.

"What? What happened? Why did I speak up?" The old man looked completely bewildered.

"What do you mean? Does it mean you're specifically targeting our Yunxia Sect?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

The old man's mouth and mind are now largely out of his control.

"That's not necessarily true, but we certainly can't let people from the Yunxia Sect get away with it. However, even though our sect is destroyed, I wouldn't go so far as to attack those poor cultivators. Only disciples from powerful sects like yours are worth attacking," the old man replied.

Ye Liuyun then asked many more questions, mainly to determine whether this group of people were truly heinous criminals. However, after testing them with the Truth Pill, he discovered that it was merely a sect feud.

Sect feuds are a perfectly normal conflict in the cultivation world.

After learning the true situation of these people, Ye Liuyun lost interest in testing the drug on them. He needed to find truly vicious and ruthless criminals to test the drug on.

"Forget it, Aoxue, what do you plan to do with these people? I won't use them for drug testing. Let's find some unorthodox methods to test the drugs," Ye Liuyun said.

Lin Aoxue fell into deep thought. If Ye Liuyun were not by her side, she might have killed all these people without hesitation with a single sword strike. But now that Ye Liuyun was with her, she knew that Ye Liuyun was rather resistant to killing.

"They're just a group of cultivators at the Sea of ​​Wheels realm. Besides, this old man's lifespan is almost over, and he won't live much longer. As for these people, I'll let you go this time, but we can't just let them off so easily." With a wave of her hand, Lin Aoxue took away all the valuables on these people.

This scene stunned them; compared to life, treasures meant nothing.

"What? You're not going to kill us?" The old man was stunned.

In their minds, they were doomed.

"Normally, given my personality, I would have killed you all on the spot, but my sister doesn't like me killing people, so you're lucky. Of course, if you were strong enough, I would have killed you all to avoid leaving any trouble behind." Lin Aoxue reached out and loosened all the ropes binding them.

"You'd better watch yourself. I'm in a good mood today, but I won't be so lucky next time."

Lin Aoxue left a message and then turned and left the cave with Ye Liuyun.

However, when Ye Liuyun left the cave, he thought about it and returned the array plate to the old man. The main reason was that the thing was useless once it left this place, so there was no point in keeping it.

The old man quickly caught the array plate, and then he and his disciples stared blankly at the two who had already left.

"What? Master, why did they let us go? We never intended to show them any mercy." The old man's disciples were stunned for a long time before they finally reacted.

The old man, looking at the town-protecting token in his hand, remained silent for a moment before letting out a bitter smile.

"It is my narrow-mindedness that has led me to this. I have spent my entire life striving to take revenge on the Yunxia Sect, but in the end, I am still forgiven by my enemy. How laughable." At this moment, the old man's obsession suddenly collapsed.

If the old man hadn't fought Liao Xue so fiercely, he probably could have lived for a while longer. But unfortunately, he overdrawn his life force to enhance his power, so he probably only has a few days left to live.

As for his disciples, without this old man, they are nothing.

For Lin Aoxue, their lives and deaths were not important at all; what mattered was that Ye Liuyun didn't like to see him kill too many people.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue have continued their journey to the southern mines of the Yunxia Sect.

"Hehe, Aoxue, that's rare. You actually spared them. I thought you would wipe them all out with a single sword strike." Ye Liuyun wasn't unhappy that Lin Aoxue let them go; on the contrary, she was quite pleased.

She always insisted on killing whenever possible, but of course, this was just her opinion. As for Lin Aoxue's mindset, Ye Liuyun couldn't control it.

Lin Aoxue's philosophy is that as long as they are enemies, they should be killed as much as possible. Her thinking is somewhat different from Ye Liuyun's. If this group of people were here before, they would have been reporting to the underworld long ago.

"I had every reason to kill these people who attacked us, but you said you didn't like seeing me kill people, so I'll be a saint this time," Lin Aoxue said with a chuckle.

Ye Liuyun was stunned when he heard this.

She hadn't expected that her previous words would have such an impact on Lin Aoxue, which was quite unusual.

Ye Liuyun has experienced too little killing. It's unknown whether his mindset will change after he has more contact with others.
