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

Meanwhile, Chen Yao also walked out of Lin Aoxue's treehouse with a flushed face.

"Second sister, don't be shy. We women are more experienced than them in this kind of thing. Tell me, how can we, the original women, not be able to beat them, who are only halfway through? It would be so embarrassing if word got out. I believe you can definitely train eldest sister well." Lin Aoxue encouraged Chen Yao from the doorway.

All I can say is, she truly lives up to her reputation as Lin Aoxue—she's incredibly domineering.

But Chen Yao isn't like her; she can't learn Lin Aoxue's skills.

When Yan Yu saw Chen Yao come out, he stood in the passageway and waited for her. When Chen Yao saw Yan Yu waiting for her, her face also became extremely hot.

Because Lin Aoxue told her too many embarrassing things.

"Ahem, Yao'er, let's go back." Yan Yu took Chen Yao's hand and led her back.

To be honest, Yan Yu should seek advice from Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun. It feels a bit mismatched, since there should be a clear distinction between primary and secondary matters.

Chen Yao kept her head down, not knowing what to say, and could only silently let Yan Yu pull her back to their treehouse. After they entered the house, Ye Liuyun immediately ran out of the house and looked in the direction of Yan Yu's treehouse.

"Hey! Big sister, it's up to you now. Don't embarrass us men. Conquer Second Sister!" Ye Liuyun said with great interest.

Unfortunately, the treehouse where Yan Yu and Chen Yao lived also had an isolation array, so no sound from outside could be heard inside.

But Ye Liuyun felt that their reaction should be similar to that of the two of them at that time.

This is actually an unfamiliar area for men.

When Yan Yu and the others returned to their room, it was already dusk, and the sky quickly darkened.

Evening, Ye Liuyun was still studying his weapon-refining techniques.

There are already more than a dozen defective products piled up in the room; this level of difficulty is truly extraordinary.

However, Ye Liuyun also discovered a problem: while she was forging weapons, her physical strength was also slowly increasing.

Forging weapons is also a physically demanding job; swinging a hammer and striking iron for a long time will definitely improve one's physical strength and power.

"Master, I've noticed that my strength is increasing these past few days while I've been forging and refining weapons." Ye Liuyun forged another weapon, but it was still a defective product.

"Of course, didn't I tell you? Any physical exercise can increase strength. Weapon forging is a physically demanding skill, so it will naturally increase strength. I suggest you use it in conjunction with Body Tempering Pills. Taking the Body Tempering Pills while forging should enhance the effect," Lin Qingyou suggested.

Ye Liuyun thought so too.

And so, the next day arrived.

The next morning, excited laughter echoed from Ye Liuyun's treehouse. Then, Ye Liuyun happily ran out of the room, carrying a woman's sword.

"Hahaha, I finally succeeded! I've finally forged a flawless weapon!" Ye Liuyun said excitedly, holding a three-foot-long sword.

In other words, after about a week, Ye Liuyun had become a human-level weapon refiner.

She looked as if she had just come out of a brick kiln, her whole body was pitch black, and the skin color on her back contrasted sharply with the skin color on her front.

Ye Liuyun ran happily toward Lin Aoxue's room.

"Aoxue, Aoxue, look! I've officially become a weapon refiner!" Ye Liuyun knocked on Lin Aoxue's door excitedly.

Lin Aoxue, who was cultivating inside, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard the sound. She got up and opened the door, but what she saw almost startled her.

"Hey? What are you doing? Did you crawl out of the stove?" Lin Aoxue complained, looking at Ye Liuyun, whose face was almost unrecognizable.

Ye Liuyun didn't dwell on his all-black attire. Instead, he waved the weapon he had forged in front of Lin Aoxue, who casually took it and examined it.

"A low-grade human-level weapon? Strange, why are there faint emerald green patterns on the weapon you forged?" Lin Aoxue asked with some surprise after observing it.

Moreover, she felt that this sword seemed to be harder than ordinary human-level weapons.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun quickly took the weapon and examined it closely. Indeed, there was a fluorescent pattern flowing across the sword.

"It seems to be true. Could it be the effect of my Myriad Medicines Immortal Fire?" Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.

As they were talking, there was a commotion at Yan Yu and Chen Yao's residence, and the two of them immediately turned their attention to Yan Yu and Chen Yao.

The atmosphere was awkward as soon as the couple came out of the room, neither of them daring to look at the other.

Yan Yu, in particular, looked utterly dejected, and Chen Yao wasn't much better off.

"Huh? That's strange, they both seem to be in a bad state of mind," Ye Liuyun asked.

Lin Aoxue was also pondering what was going on.

Yan Yu and Chen Yao were already walking towards them.

"Hehe, eldest sister and second sister, congratulations on your wedding night." Ye Liuyun immediately congratulated them when she saw them coming over.

But the expressions on these two's faces were interesting. Chen Yao blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look at everyone, while Yan Yu looked at Ye Liuyun with a listless face and a resentful expression.

"Third sister, you, you come with me for a moment." Yan Yu didn't care whether Ye Liuyun was dirty or not, grabbed her hand, and pulled her away from Lin Aoxue's treehouse.

"Hey? Big sister, what's wrong? I'm all dirty. Don't pull me, I can walk by myself," Ye Liuyun said quickly.

But Yan Yu wouldn't listen to her nonsense. She dragged Ye Liuyun into her own room and then closed the door.

After the two of them disappeared, Chen Yao shyly hugged Lin Aoxue's neck.

"Ah... little sister, I was so embarrassed last night, so embarrassing! That third sister of mine had ulterior motives, she actually gave Brother Yu two weird pills, I..." Chen Yao immediately started complaining to Lin Aoxue.

Meanwhile, Yan Yu also began to harshly criticize Ye Liuyun.

"Third brother, wasn't the pill you gave me yesterday too potent? After Yao'er and I took it, we couldn't calm our restless hearts for almost the entire night. Also, why didn't you remind me yesterday that turning into a woman would cause such a strange reaction? I was so embarrassed yesterday, I don't know how I'll ever be able to hold my head up in front of Yao'er again," Yan Yu complained, his face full of frustration.

Upon seeing Yan Yu's reaction, Ye Liuyun immediately conjured up an incredibly beautiful image in his mind.

"This? Hahaha, oh dear, big sister, don't worry so much. Relax, relax, learn to accept it, don't resist that feeling. Trust me, you'll definitely like that feeling in the future." Ye Liuyun patted Yan Yu's shoulder and laughed loudly.

However, her hands were covered in black grime, and when she slapped Yan Yu's shoulder, several conspicuous claw marks were immediately left, after all, Yan Yu was wearing white clothes.

"Hey? You got my clothes dirty." Yan Yu said speechlessly, looking at the handprint on his shoulder.

Upon seeing this, Ye Liuyun realized that he hadn't cleaned the grime left from blacksmithing.

"Ahem, sorry, big sister, you'll have to get used to it, you know? Once you get used to it, everything will be normal." Ye Liuyun glanced at her dirty hands and said somewhat awkwardly.

Yan Yu sighed heavily. Last night, under the stimulation of Ye Liuyun's pills, the two of them did consummate their marriage, but the process made Yan Yu feel extremely ashamed. It was the first time in her life that she had felt such an unprecedented sense of shame.

Chapter 219 Deep in the Rainforest

Deep within the rainforest, hidden by dense forest, lies a lake formed by the submersion of a valley. It is vast, with its surface just reaching the treetops.

This place is very secluded because the Wind-Weeping Rainforest is full of swampy lakes like this, some deep and some shallow, making it difficult to figure out the area you want to target.

Furthermore, this place is very quiet. Normally, there should be a lot of swamp monsters here, such as snake monsters, catfish monsters, or crocodile monsters, but strangely, not a single monster has been seen in this area.

Today, a group of cultivators arrived here. There were thirty-six of them in total. Judging from their attire, they should be from six different sects.

The leading cultivator held a somewhat tattered map in his hand. They flew through the air and traversed the dense forest, their eyes scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.

“According to the treasure map, the treasure should be hidden in a valley. Judging from the location, it should be in this area. Look, the trees in the Wind-Weeping Rainforest are all very tall, at least tens of meters high. In this area, the swamp water has submerged the tree canopy, so this place should be very deep,” a middle-aged male cultivator at the third level of the Dao Palace said in a deep voice.

These people are all extraordinary; even the weakest among them is at least at the first level of the Dao Palace realm.

Who are they? They are from the six major sects, the six sects that claim to be able to rival the four lower-level sects. They are the Dao Palace cultivators who formed this team.

Not long ago, the Jade Cry Sect unexpectedly obtained a treasure map. After being appraised by experts by the sect's higher-ups, the map was confirmed to be a treasure map drawn on the hide of a demon beast and may be thousands of years old.

It's strange that in the cultivation world, some people like to use treasure maps to record ancient ruins and the caves of powerful figures.

In fact, part of this is definitely a conspiracy, and part of it is to find a successor from a previous generation, or someone accidentally discovered ancient ruins but dared not explore them because of their own limited strength, so they drew a treasure map. Anyway, there are all sorts of reasons.

The treasure map obtained by the elder of the Jade Cry Sect should belong to the last one. The treasure map is drawn very roughly, with only a general route and a general appearance of the environment. There were originally words on it, but they are no longer clear due to the great age.

After confirming the authenticity of the treasure map, the Jade Cry Sect notified the other five sects. There was no other way; the location of the treasure was confirmed to be in the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest, a very dangerous place.

The Jade Cry Sect couldn't keep this secret to themselves. If they wanted to seize the opportunity, they had to find someone to cooperate with. They certainly wouldn't cooperate with the four lower-level sects, so they notified the other five sects to send a team of six people at the Dao Palace level to venture deep into the Wind-Weeping Rain Forest to find the treasure.

“This place feels different from other areas. In other areas, when I scan the surroundings with my divine sense, I can see many hidden monsters. How come there isn’t even a single insect in this area?” An elder from the Tianfu Sect also spoke up.

The Dao Palace experts were very cautious, almost all of them were ready to fight at any time. To ensure that nothing went wrong, they prepared many measures.

They couldn't be sure just how powerful the demonic beasts were hidden in this place, but with the methods they had prepared, they wouldn't be afraid even if it was a demonic beast at the peak of the Dao Palace realm.

“Since we’re already here, let’s not say any more. If we want an opportunity, how can we not take risks? Each of our six families will send a cultivator at the first level of the Dao Palace to take a look first, to see if this area is a valley, and also to determine if there are any dangers,” said an elder of the Jade Cry Sect.

The other five Dao Palace elders all agreed with the Jade Cry Sect elder's opinion.

They immediately selected a cultivator at the first level of the Dao Palace and instructed them to prepare to go into the water.

"Be careful once you go down. If you notice anything amiss, retreat immediately. This area is practically a dead zone. I feel uneasy; I sense an invisible danger surrounding us." The elders of the six major sects began instructing the Daoist cultivators who were about to descend.

Dao Palace cultivators are a sect's high-level combat force; losing even one would be a painful blow for them, so they must minimize casualties as much as possible.

Before they had pinpointed the treasure location, they didn't want to make too much of a commotion, because if they did, it would attract the attention of nearby monsters and cause them trouble.

The six made thorough preparations and then simultaneously entered the water. Before going down, they left their life imprints on a jade pendant and handed it to their elder. If the jade pendant broke, it meant that they had met with misfortune below.

As for those in higher positions, they should prepare to receive them.

"Secret Technique: Water Mirror." After the six people left, the leading female elder of the Linglan Sect, who was at the third level of the Dao Palace, made a hand seal and then struck the water with her palm. Soon, a mirror formed from water rose up from the water.

This is a closely guarded secret of the Linglan Sect: by using the power of water, they can select a portion of the water and condense it into a water mirror, so that they can see what's below without going down themselves.

The crowd quickly gathered around.

"The Linglan Sect's secret techniques are really useful. I hope there won't be too much danger down there," the elder of the Yuming Sect said with some concern.

The figures of the six Dao Palace cultivators had already appeared in the mirror, but the bottom of the lake was very dark, and this secret technique could only see the figures of six people, but that was enough.

After observing for a while, they discovered that the place was deeper than they had imagined, because the tree canopy they saw was actually the trees growing on both sides of the valley, and there was an extremely dark rift valley in the middle.

"A canyon? It seems the information on the treasure map is wrong." Through the water mirror, the group could vaguely see a long and narrow valley.

"After all, it's something from a thousand years ago. It's normal that much of the writing on it is missing and the information is inaccurate, but it should definitely be this area," said an elder of the Jade Cry Sect.

This group of people can basically roam freely in the Wind and Rain Forest. They have killed a lot of Dao Palace demon beasts along the way. As long as there are no demon beasts from the Four Extremes Secret Realm here, they don't need to worry.

The six people had reached the edge of the canyon, and they stared down at the canyon below, where an unsettling atmosphere permeated the air.

After exchanging glances, the six of them dived back down. So far, their divine senses and magical eyes had not detected any demonic energy; there wasn't even a fish in this place.

However, for cultivators, not detecting demonic energy or life fluctuations does not necessarily mean there is no danger. It could also mean that their cultivation level is too low to sense the presence of the other party.

But shortly after the six of them dived into the underwater canyon, a terrifying suction force suddenly began to emanate from within, spreading out from the darkness.

These six people were just covered by this force.

"This is bad, something's wrong, run!" The six people turned around and tried to run after sensing the terrifying power.

Before they could even turn around, they were instantly pulled into the depths of the canyon by that attraction.

"No... Elder, save us."

The people from the six major sects above changed their expressions drastically upon seeing this scene.

"Damn it, there is still danger. Let's go down and save them." The powerful figures were about to dive into the water to rescue the people, but just as they were about to go down, the life imprint jade pendants left in their hands by the six people shattered.

In other words, these six people are dead.

"This? So fast? How is that possible?"

The elders of the six major sects were forced to stop. If the people hadn't died, they would definitely have gone down. But now that the people were dead, and before they were sure what level of monsters were lurking below, rushing down would probably not be much better than their fate.

"This is outrageous, Fellow Daoist Yuheng. Now that we've confirmed the existence of a powerful demon below, let's just take action and force it out first," suggested an elder from the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

The elder of the Jade Cry Sect nodded.

“Very well, Fellow Daoist Lei Zhen, then I’ll leave it to your Heavenly Thunder Sect,” Yu Heng said in a deep voice.

Lei Zhen, the elder of the Thunderclap Sect, and four others immediately flew out of the rainforest and arrived above this body of water. As soon as they came out, the demonic birds circling in the sky spotted them and immediately swarmed towards the five of them. There were quite a few of them, including many demonic birds at the Dao Palace realm.

"Fellow Daoists, a large number of demonic birds are flying towards us. We need time to set up the formation, so please help us protect us." Lei Zhen notified the people below as soon as he saw the demonic birds flying towards them.

Now that things have come to this, it's difficult for Yuheng and his group to make a big fuss even if they don't want to.

To be able to kill six cultivators at the first level of the Dao Palace in one go, a demonic beast must be at least at the late stage of the Dao Palace.

"The task of stopping these demonic birds is entrusted to our Four Extremes Sect." The leading elder of the Four Extremes Sect volunteered, then glanced at his four other cultivators at the first and second levels of the Dao Palace.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you, fellow Daoist." Yuheng nodded.

The four members of the Four Extremes Sect flew into the air and landed in one place. They then summoned a magical artifact and poured their magic power into it. It was a token that was filled with golden light.

"Earthly Kun"

"Kan Water"
