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

A red pill appeared in her hand, and she swallowed it without hesitation. After the pill entered her body, her blood began to burn like flames.

"Life-Burning Pill? Has this little girl gone mad? Although this pill can allow one to advance to a higher realm, it only lasts for one minute. After one minute, the user's blood and energy will be completely depleted, and death is inevitable." Lin Qingyou's expression changed after seeing the pill that Yan Yu swallowed.

Ye Liuyun was also stunned when he heard this; this meant they were going to fight to the death.

But it was too late. As Yan Yu swallowed the Life-Burning Pill, her cultivation level suddenly jumped from the early stage of the Spirit Pattern Realm to the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Dao Palace.

There are requirements for using this pill. If someone at the Spirit Sea Realm takes it, they can only advance to the Spirit Pattern Realm. However, if someone at the Spirit Pattern Realm takes it, they can advance to the Foundation Establishment Realm of the Dao Palace Realm.

This pill is a top-grade blue-level pill, but it's also a deadly one. It can only be said that Yan Yu no longer wants to live.

"Oh no, it's the Life-Burning Pill! Run! This woman has gone mad!" The leading cultivator realized what was happening as soon as he saw the crimson light burning on Yan Yu's body.

But it was too late. Yan Yu had already made her move. She transformed into a reaping ghoul and began to reap the lives of these rogue cultivators.

Under the slaughter of those at the Dao Palace realm, even ordinary sect cultivators at the Spirit Pattern realm would find it difficult to resist, let alone rogue cultivators.

"Kill, kill, you all deserve to die, go to hell with me." Yan Yu's body moved like a ghost, quickly flashing past these rogue cultivators. Each flash took the life of one of them.

In no time, only the peak Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator remained out of the dozen or so people. He wanted to run, but could he outrun Yan Yu in his current state?

"Pfft!" Before this person had even run a thousand meters, Yan Yu caught up with him and pierced through his body with one of Yan Yu's hands.

This rogue cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Pattern Realm, seeing the bloody hand protruding from his chest, lost his life and fell into the swamp with a look of unwillingness on his face.

The corpses of these dead rogue cultivators were immediately devoured by the crocodile monsters as soon as they fell into the swamp, leaving not even a trace.

This is the true suppressive power of a Dao Palace over a Sea of ​​Wheels; it is basically overwhelming. Only a half-step Dao Palace has some power to resist.

After killing these people, Yan Yu returned silently to his woman's corpse with a lifeless expression.

"Yao'er, I've avenged you. I'll be with you soon. Don't worry, you won't be alone." Yan Yu lay down beside his woman. The bloody light on her body gradually dissipated, and her life came to an end at this moment.

The wind howled in Yan Yu's ears, as if the wind was crying, weeping for this unfortunate couple.

Yan Yu's eyes gradually closed, but at the moment they were completely closed, she found that there was someone in front of her, a girl. Her vision was so blurry that she could no longer see the girl's face clearly. She thought it was Chen Yao's soul coming to take her away.

"Ah! Yao'er, have you come to pick me up? I, I'm coming right now." Yan Yu murmured as he looked at the person in front of him, before his consciousness completely disappeared into darkness.

The person standing in front of them was definitely not Chen Yao, but Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun originally intended to save one of them, but unfortunately, the Rejuvenation Pill was no longer of any use to them.

Chapter 215 Theatrical Version (Part 3): The Song of Life

Inside the quiet treehouse, two lifeless bodies lay on a blanket; they were Yan Yu and Chen Yao, who had died not long ago.

What is Ye Liuyun planning to do by bringing the corpse back to his treehouse?

"What? You don't mean you want to save them, do you? Forgive me for being blunt, but their souls have already left their bodies and gone to the underworld. The Resurrection Pill can't save them. Besides, how can you guarantee that these two are worth saving? What if they cause you trouble after you bring them back to life?" Lin Qingyou asked, floating beside Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun looked at the corpses of Yan Yu and Chen Yao with a complicated expression. To be honest, it was probably because of her relationship with Lin Aoxue that she couldn't bear to see lovers go to the underworld together.

So she wanted to try and see if she could pull the two of them back from the underworld. Of course, it was just an attempt; if it didn't work, then she would have no choice but to let them rest in peace.

"Although I don't know if they are good or bad people, I believe that someone who is willing to give up their life for the one they love cannot be a bad person. Also, the fact that they died below our camp makes me think that might be fate. I want to help them," Ye Liuyun said, expressing his true feelings.

Lin Qingyou didn't say she wanted to stop Ye Liuyun. Instead, she felt that since the two of them were already dead and their souls had gone to the underworld, they could never come back to life.

"Then what's your plan? You're not going to use two corpses to test your medicine, are you?" Lin Qingyou guessed.

Aside from drug testing, she genuinely couldn't guess what other way Ye Liuyun could bring the dead back to life.

Ye Liuyun genuinely believed that she possessed a medicine that might actually be able to save people. In any case, she was determined to try it. If this medicine could truly bring people back to life, then she would have obtained another heaven-defying elixir.

"The elixir I refined at Black Wind Mountain last time produced a phenomenon that could awaken cultivators who had been dead for many years. If the elixir's phenomenon has such power, then I think this elixir might have a similar effect." Ye Liuyun took out a box from his person, and after opening the box, he found ten elixir pills that were filled with black and white light.

This pill is currently the highest-grade synthetic product.

According to Lin Qingyou, this pill contains a rich Yin-Yang energy. She had always wanted to try the effects of this pill, but she never had the chance. Now she did.

"Sigh! Alright, whatever you want. Try it if you want, but be prepared for the worst. After all, reversing life and death and going against the cycle of reincarnation could cause big trouble." Lin Qingyou sighed and gave a reminder.

Ye Liuyun nodded seriously. She couldn't just have the courage to synthesize pills but not the courage to test them on people, could she? So, she still had to take this risk.

She eventually managed to put the two pills into the mouths of the two men, but since they were already dead, they couldn't swallow them. Ye Liuyun could only force the pills into their bodies with her strength.

As for whether it will work or not, that depends on the fortune-telling abilities of these two people.

"Good luck to you both. I hope these two pills can save you, and I hope I haven't saved the wrong people," Ye Liuyun murmured as he watched the two bodies begin to shimmer with a pure white light.

The elixir has begun to take effect.

Let's talk about Lin Aoxue. She returned with a murderous aura, and it seems she has probably killed quite a few enemies again.

However, upon her return, she discovered that a battle seemed to have taken place in the camp area. A quick glance revealed signs of fighting everywhere, and a faint, lingering smell of blood still lingered in the air. Lin Aoxue's expression immediately changed.

"No way?"

Lin Aoxue quickly flew through the treetop, passed through the formation, and arrived at the door of Ye Liuyun's treehouse. Then she pushed the treehouse open and went inside.

However, upon opening the treehouse, she saw Ye Liuyun standing shirtless and wearing only underpants in front of the two female cultivators' corpses, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You scared me! I thought something had happened." Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, somewhat puzzled, he walked over.

When Ye Liuyun saw Lin Aoxue return, he turned and glanced at her.

"You're back? While you were away, a battle just happened below our camp," Ye Liuyun explained.

Lin Aoxue was taken aback, then walked to Ye Liuyun's side and looked at the two female cultivators who had been dead for a long time.

"I just got back and saw signs of a battle below the camp. I thought someone had discovered the camp. I'm glad you're alright. By the way, what happened? Why did you bring those two corpses into the house? Are you going to use them for experiments? I won't allow that," Lin Aoxue said preemptively.

Killing is unavoidable in the cultivation world, but using other people's corpses for experiments is going too far. After all, it's said that killing is just a matter of beheading someone.

"Do I look like the kind of person who likes to study corpses?" Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes, then told Lin Aoxue what she had seen.

After hearing about the two people's experiences, Lin Aoxue's expression softened slightly.

"Is that so? That's a sad story. But judging from your expression, you don't think you have a way to bring them back to life, do you?" Lin Aoxue stroked her chin and glanced at Ye Liuyun. She seemed to have seen through Ye Liuyun's purpose.

Most importantly, the two corpses were emanating a pure white light, and she sensed a powerful life force within this light.

"It's hard to say. Didn't we refine a kind of pill at Black Wind Mountain last time? This pill awakened people who had been dead for a long time, even your Lin family's distant ancestor. So I think this pill might have a similar effect. I just gave it to them," Ye Liuyun replied.

Upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Lin Aoxue immediately recalled what had happened not long ago. If that's the case, then it is indeed possible.

Now let's talk about Yan Yu and Chen Yao. Their souls have indeed arrived in the underworld.

The underworld, the passage to the netherworld.

This is a passage filled with eerie blue flames, and a large number of souls are falling from various vortexes filled with golden light.

On the other side of the vortex lies their world in life, while the strange passage before them is a netherworld passage leading to the underworld.

The Netherworld Passage is a temporary resting place for souls, also known as the Netherworld Realm. Therefore, many cultivators like to refer to death as "going to the Netherworld."

The underworld connects different eras, planes, and spaces, where you can see all sorts of souls.

As soon as Yan Yu's soul entered the Netherworld passage, it was quickly bound by a soul-locking chain by a Yin soldier wearing rotten armor and exuding yin energy, who then dragged her towards the Yellow Springs.

These ghostly soldiers, also known as soul-reaping messengers, guide the souls of the dead into the underworld according to their assigned tasks.

At the moment a soul enters the underworld, it has no self-awareness. This is to prevent some powerful souls from rebelling against the laws of the underworld after entering it.

Therefore, they will first enter the Underworld to cleanse their bodies of life force with the power of the Underworld. The souls of the newly deceased are not yet considered ghosts.

The difference between ghosts and living souls is significant. Ghosts represent death, while living souls represent the source of life for all living beings.

Once they become ghosts, they are essentially subject to the underworld. They will be dragged to the underworld for judgment and punished according to the severity of their sins. If they are innocent, they will be sent directly to the cycle of reincarnation to have their ghostly aura washed away, and they will be transformed into their original soul form before entering the cycle of reincarnation again.

As for the guilty, after the trial, they will be banished to the eighteen ghost realms, and only then will they truly become residents of the underworld. Once their sins have been cleansed in the eighteen ghost realms, they can once again enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Of course, not all souls are qualified to enter the cycle of reincarnation. Some souls that have committed heinous crimes may be banished to the Avici Hell to suffer eternal torment.

After Yan Yu's soul was bound by the Yin soldiers' chains, her consciousness gradually returned. However, after regaining consciousness, she looked around blankly and instinctively wanted to resist the chain that was piercing her soul.

Unfortunately, once a cultivator is caught by the chains of the Yin soldiers, even the strongest cultivator is helpless.

"This? Let me go! Where am I? What are you doing?" Yan Yu tried to pull hard on the chains binding him.

Souls reacting like Yan Yu are everywhere in the Netherworld Passage, and there are even some with greater resistance, but it still has no effect.

"Stop struggling. This is the underworld. You are already dead. It's time for you to go." The ghostly soldier explained expressionlessly.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yu trembled. The words of the Yin soldier seemed to possess a certain magic, quickly reminding her of her previous memories.

She was indeed dead. Since she knew she was dead, she naturally lost the motivation to resist.

"So that's how it is? Then you're the legendary Soul Reaper?" Yan Yu asked curiously.

After all, the Soul Reaper can't be seen by the living; all they can see are the dead.

"I suppose so. Next, I will take you to the Underworld to cleanse your life force with the power of the Underworld. Then you will be a resident of the Underworld. After that, you will be registered in the Underworld. As for whether you will be reincarnated directly, that depends on your own fate," the Yin soldier explained.

As a cultivator, Yan Yu had naturally heard rumors about the underworld during his lifetime, but he never expected that he would actually have to report to the underworld after his death.

"Is that so? Then, Brother Ghost Messenger, where is my wife? Could I see her one last time before I go to the Underworld? She came to the Underworld before me not long ago," Yan Yu asked.

Yan Yu knew that since she had come to the underworld, any lingering or hesitation was meaningless, but she still wanted to see her wife one last time.

"Your wife? Let me check." The ghost soldier was taken aback, then took out a special booklet and glanced at it.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the person in front of him had actually been a man, and it was also found that his wife had recently come to the underworld as well.

"What's wrong with your era? Why are there so many people with reversed genders? My records indicate that you were born male, but now you're female. Your wife's name is Chen Yao, right? Come with me. While you still have your memories, I'll grant your request. It's not impossible. Once you enter the Underworld, there won't be another chance." The ghostly soldier actually agreed to Yan Yu's request.

In fact, according to the rules of the underworld, soul-reaping messengers can grant some requests to living souls, as long as they can fulfill them.

"Thank you." Yan Yu immediately nodded gratefully.

After saying that, the ghost soldiers dragged Yan Yu and flew towards a certain direction of the Netherworld Passage.

On the other side, Chen Yao was also being dragged by a female ghost soldier with chains towards the Underworld.

They were not far from the Netherworld, which looked like a river in the underworld passage.

As soon as those souls entered the Yellow Springs, they let out shrill screams. Their originally pure souls were immediately tainted by yin energy, becoming sinister and terrifying.

There are roughly four types of ghosts in the underworld: ghosts who died unjustly, ghosts who died violently, ghosts who died of illness, and ghosts who died of old age.

If Yan Yu and Chen Yao were to enter the Underworld, they would certainly become ghosts who died violently, because they did not die a natural death. Only death from illness or old age is considered a natural death.

Chen Yao was not far from Yan Yu. Led by the Yin soldiers, Yan Yu quickly found his wife on the edge of the Yellow Springs.

"Hey? Yao'er, Yao'er!" Yan Yu exclaimed in surprise upon seeing her.

Chen Yao, who had given up all hope, instinctively looked behind her upon hearing that familiar voice, and there she saw herself transformed into the woman's husband.

"Brother Yu? You, how come you're here too?" The moment Chen Yao saw Yan Yu, she knew that he was already dead.

The female ghost soldier who was holding Chen Yao noticed her reaction and turned around to look in the direction Chen Yao was looking. She saw another male ghost soldier dragging a soul over.

"An acquaintance?" the female ghost soldier asked doubtfully.

"Yes, he's my fiancé in the human realm. Of course, we've already had our wedding ceremony, and we're just waiting to consummate our marriage, so I guess you could call him my husband," Chen Yao explained.

A strange expression appeared on the pale face of the female ghost soldier. After all, the other party seemed to be a woman. Two women getting married? This made her a little curious.

The female ghost soldier also stopped and did not forcibly drag Chen Yao away, so the two met soon after.

Upon meeting, Yan Yu excitedly embraced Chen Yao.

"That's wonderful! I never thought we'd meet again in the underworld," Yan Yu said happily.

"You, sigh! Brother Yu, you should live on." Chen Yao said sadly.

But Yan Yu shook his head.

“No, without you, my life has no meaning. I have avenged you; I have wiped them all out,” Yan Yu said.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard a series of angry curses.

"Damn it, it's you two little bitches. Hehe, you're here too. Looks like this world is fair after all. We were different in life, but we're pretty much the same in death. Haha."

Upon hearing the angry shouts, Yan Yu and Chen Yao looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the rogue cultivators who had fought with them not long ago had also arrived.

However, Yan Yu ignored them and simply watched as they were dragged into the Yellow Springs by the Yin soldiers.

The leader, a peak Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator, was dragged into the Yellow Springs and, as if plunged into a vat of boiling oil, began to scream in agony.

"It hurts! No, let me go! I don't want to go in!" the rogue cultivator's soul cried out frantically.
