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

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were taken aback. They had been sent away in batches, so there shouldn't be any danger.

"Oh, I see. Thank you. By the way, consider this a reward for your hard work. If it weren't for you clearing the way, we probably would have taken twice as long to get here." Ye Liuyun took out a silver ingot, a full ten taels, and handed it to the young man.

"This? No need, no need, ladies. This is what I should do. No reward is required." The young man quickly waved his hand and shook his head.

"Take it." Ye Liuyun jumped off his horse and placed the silver in the young man's hand.

Since Ye Liuyun has already been delivered to him, it wouldn't be right to refuse.

"This? In that case, I will accept it. I will take my leave." The young man bowed and said.

Ye Liuyun nodded, and the young man left.

After he left, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue exchanged a glance, and the two strolled towards the inn. The waiter at the inn's entrance quickly came over.

"Are you two ladies staying at the inn or having a meal?" A waiter looked Ye Liuyun and her companions up and down before asking politely.

"I'll stay at an inn," Lin Aoxue replied.

Upon hearing this, the servant quickly signaled another servant to lead the horse to the stable, while he led Lin Aoxue and the other two into the inn.

As soon as I entered, I heard a lively commotion inside.

In the middle of the inn, a handsome young man dressed in plain white was arm wrestling with a tall young man. A group of people surrounded them, including ordinary people, martial artists, and many cultivators.

"Huh? What are those two doing?" Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were speechless when they saw the two of them.

Because the two arm wrestling are Yun Xin and He Zhi Qiu, and it seems they're locked in a fierce battle.

Yun Xin is still dressed as a man, carefully disguised, and looks like a handsome young master.

There were also many Yunxia Sect disciples standing around, all of whom had participated in the last siege of the Blood Demon Sect branch, including Song Shuwen and Xia Yuxin.

"Senior Brother Li, keep it up! Don't lose to Senior Brother He!" The Yunxia Sect disciples around them were cheering him on.

These two must have been competing with each other every day ever since they were assigned to carry out the mission together, neither willing to concede to the other.

"These two young masters are said to be from the same martial arts sect. They compete here every day, and the first floor of our inn has almost become their arena," the waiter explained as he saw Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue lingering to watch.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were speechless. These two were practically mortal enemies, never quiet anywhere. They didn't know why the sect would send them to lead a mission.

“Junior Brother Li, just admit defeat. In terms of physical strength alone, do you think you can beat me now? Don’t say I’m bullying you; you insisted on competing.” He Zhi Qiu looked at Yun Xin and said with a mocking expression.

Yunxin was clearly struggling. Since becoming a woman, her physical strength had declined significantly, which was unavoidable, as she had never been specifically trained in physical strength.

Among cultivators of the same cultivation level, male cultivators have a physical strength that is at least 30% higher than that of female cultivators.

"You talk too much nonsense," Li Jianxin said angrily.

Cracks began to appear on the table in front of the two men, showing how much force they had used.

They cannot use magic or spiritual power in front of ordinary people, but they can use their power directly to enhance their physical strength, which is also possible, and ordinary people will not be able to tell anything.

After a minute of stalemate, Li Jianxin began to lose ground, and his arm began to fall to the right.

"Hehe, Junior Brother Li, I'm going to win again!" He Zhi Qiu said triumphantly.

The surrounding disciples were about to be disappointed again.

"Oh no! Senior Brother Li is going to lose again." Everyone looked helpless.

But just then, Li Jianxin caught a glimpse of Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue standing at the door.

"Eh? Junior Sister Lin?" Li Jianxin's words immediately diverted He Zhi Qiu's attention.

Chapter 239 Without a Clue (5000 words)

Upon hearing Yun Xin's voice, He Zhi Qiu instinctively looked towards the door, where he saw a familiar face standing there.

He didn't recognize Ye Liuyun, but he recognized Lin Aoxue at a glance.

But just as she looked away, Yun Xin's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. Taking advantage of He Zhi Qiu's distraction, she suddenly unleashed a burst of power.

"Now is the time."

Yun Xin poured all the power in her body into her right arm in one breath, and then suddenly forced He Zhi Qiu's hand back, pressing it all the way down.

He Zhi Qiu felt the powerful force coming from his arm and was stunned for a moment, but unfortunately, he reacted too late.

"Damn it," He Zhi Qiu cursed under his breath, wanting to increase his strength.

"Boom!" Yun Xin's palm pressed heavily onto the table, causing the table to collapse under the weight.

He Zhi Qiu himself was completely dumbfounded when he fell to the ground, and it took him a long time to react.

The people around were also startled. It was too sudden, and it was just an arm-wrestling match, yet the commotion was so great.

However, the people from Yunxia Sect clearly saw that He Zhi Qiu's gaze had been directed towards the door, so they also glanced at the door and saw Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun standing there.

Those who knew Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun would naturally recognize them at a glance.

"Eh? Senior Sister Lin, Senior Sister Ye?" Although both of them were wearing veils, they recognized each other at a glance.

But He Zhi Qiu was furious. He was going to win tomorrow, and he felt that Yun Xin did it on purpose.

"You? Li Jianxin, you fucking cheated?" He Zhiqi fell to the ground and was stunned for a moment before glaring angrily at Li Jianxin.

Yunxin immediately smiled smugly.

"Cheating? Did I cheat? Didn't I win fair and square?" Yun Xin swung her arm dismissively.

Upon hearing this, He Zhi Qiu's face flushed red with anger, and he was about to explode, but then he seemed to remember something and suppressed his anger.

"Hmph! Unreasonable! I won't stoop to your level." He got up from the ground, dusted off his clothes, and then looked at Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue.

"What do you mean by that?" Yun Xin's face darkened instantly.

She could tell what He Zhi Qiu was originally going to say.

He Zhi Qiu was originally going to say, "I don't argue with women."

"It doesn't mean anything. You're different now than before. I won't hold it against you," He Zhi Qiu said with a mocking smile.

Yun Xin felt like hitting someone, but just then, Lin Aoxue spoke up.

"Hey, you two senior brothers, you're quite free, you even have time to arm wrestle here." Lin Aoxue saw the two arguing and were about to get red-hot, so she immediately interrupted their conversation.

Yun Xin took a deep breath, suppressing her displeasure, and then walked towards Lin Aoxue. They must have already received news that Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were coming to Jianglin City, so they had long been prepared to welcome the two of them.

"You two are really slow. Under normal circumstances, you should have arrived the next day," Yun Xin said calmly.

"Ahem, we were delayed on the way," Lin Aoxue explained.

However, Yunxin had no interest in listening to Lin Aoxue's irrelevant remarks, so she directly changed the subject.

"We have nothing to do during the day, so we can only find things to do to pass the time. I didn't expect the sect to send Junior Sister Lin here. Is it to have you supervise our mission?" Yun Xin asked thoughtfully.

But Lin Aoxue shook her head; she had no interest in supervising anyone.

The surrounding guests, seeing that Yunxin and her companions recognized the two girls who had suddenly walked in, immediately cast curious glances their way.

Upon seeing this, He Zhi Qiu and the other Yunxia Sect disciples immediately addressed the guests around them.

"Everyone, please disperse. The game is over."

Upon hearing this, the guests wisely left, as the Yuelai Inn had been booked at a high price by the Yunxia Sect. Guests could stay there without any problem, but they had to obey the orders of the Yunxia Sect.

By the way, they call themselves Yunmen to outsiders, claiming to be a secular martial arts sect.

After the guests left, Yunxin spoke to the servant.

"These people are all from our Yunmen, so you don't need to worry about them. We'll arrange their own accommodations."

Upon hearing this, the servant quickly agreed and walked away.

After they took over the Yuelai Inn, their requirement for the inn was simply that people shouldn't ask questions they shouldn't ask, and shouldn't look at things they shouldn't look at. It was that simple.

After they left, Yunxin and He Zhiqi gestured for the two of them to go upstairs with them.

The group talked as they walked, but Ye Liuyun didn't go with them. Instead, she went to the back to talk to Xia Yuxin and Song Shuwen.

"Senior Brother Song, Senior Sister Xia, how have you been feeling in the mortal world lately?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Xia Yuxin immediately shook her head; judging from her expression, she was definitely not happy.

"Sigh! There are too many rules in the secular world, and I'm not used to them. The cultivation world is much more free and comfortable. If possible, I'd like to go back to my sect," Xia Yuxin replied.

Song Shuwen, however, had a different attitude.

"I think it's fine. The mundane world has more of a flavor of life, and you can see many interesting things," Song Shuwen replied.

That's the truth. Men have more freedom. As for women, they've adapted to life in the cultivation world. Asking them to return to the mortal world and abide by its rules would be too torturous, and they also can't use their power freely.

"Sigh! There are indeed many rules in the secular world. Have you investigated any clues about the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters during this period?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

Actually, seeing how relaxed Yunxin and the others looked, she knew they hadn't found anything out.

Sure enough, Xia Yuxin and the others shook their heads.

"It's a pity we haven't found a single clue. We're starting to wonder if Yun Zong made a mistake. We've been here for almost a month now. Oh, by the way, something big happened in the Six Yang Mountains. You two were there too. Was it exciting?" Song Shuwen asked curiously.

Ye Liuyun also recounted everything that had happened in the Wind and Rain Forest.

When Song Shuwen and the others heard how dangerous things were in the Wind and Rain Forest, they were also filled with lingering fear. It was far more dangerous than the situation at the Blood Demon Sect branch.

Lin Aoxue was also asking Yun Xin and the others if they had obtained any valuable clues, but Yun Xin and the others also shook their heads and explained their difficulties.

"We're stuck in Jianglin City, unable to use our power freely. It's going to be too difficult to find the Blood Demon Sect's headquarters," He Zhi Qiu said with a gloomy expression.

Indeed, Jianglin City is too crowded, both day and night. It is actually more lively at night, but under the cover of darkness, they can use their strength a little more.

But they couldn't really go all out to look for clues. They had searched everywhere they could think of during this time, but still found nothing.

Therefore, there is only one answer: either the Blood Demon Sect branch is openly operating but they are unaware of it, or it is hidden by an array.

But no matter which one it is, it is disadvantageous to them.

Soon they arrived at the door of Lin Aoxue's residence, which Yunxin had arranged in advance for her and Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, let's stop talking about this. It's no use. This is too difficult. I don't think we can complete this kind of task. Let them rest first, and then we can talk about other things." Yun Xin interrupted He Zhi Qiu.

He Zhi Qiu rolled his eyes and then said nothing more.

Lin Aoxue was equally perplexed after hearing these words. She couldn't find Yun Xin and the others, so what was she supposed to do? Even if she did find them, how could she eliminate the Blood Demon Sect branch without alerting the people of Jianglin City? It seemed like an unsolvable dead end.

"Do you have any leads from cultivators in other sects?" Lin Aoxue asked as a final question.

He Zhi Qiu answered first again.

"Not a single clue. If we had even the slightest clue, I wouldn't be here arm wrestling with this guy. I've been arm wrestling with her for days. Your arrival today distracted me and caused me to lose," He Zhi Qiu complained.

Yunxin, who was standing to the side, wanted to roll her eyes again.

For some reason, Lin Aoxue suddenly felt that Yunxin and He Zhiqi's relationship seemed to have improved a lot. To be precise, He Zhiqi had begun to learn to be more tolerant of Yunxin.

"Alright, let's rest for a bit first, and we can talk about other things tonight," Lin Aoxue called out to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then spoke to Yunxin.

"Senior Brother Li, could you please arrange a place for this little girl to stay as well? She's a maid I picked up on the road."

---------------------------------

Upon hearing this, Yunxin glanced at Fanling and then nodded without hesitation.

And so, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue entered the superior private room, while Fan Ling went to another room.

After settling Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue, He Zhiqi spoke again.

"Hey, Li Jianxin, let's do it again. What happened just now doesn't count. You took advantage of someone in a vulnerable state."

But Yunxin immediately retorted.

"Are you out of your mind? You only benefited from having a male body. If you had become a woman like me and hadn't turned back, who would have won is still uncertain. I'm going back to cultivate now; I still need to go out and look for clues tonight," Yun Xin sneered and left.

These words made He Zhi Qiu very unhappy.

"Hey? What does it have to do with me that you've become a woman? I'm more concerned about how you've become so pretentious since you became a woman. Where did the obsessive-compulsive Li Jianxin go? In the past, you would never have refused my challenge, but now you've refused it. Has your personality become weaker since you became a woman?" He Zhi Qiu said angrily.

Yunxin ignored him.

However, after living as a woman for so long, Yunxin is still self-aware. In terms of physical strength, she is really not as good as He Zhiqi. It is meaningless to refuse to admit defeat unless she can find a way to improve her physical strength.

Yun Xin quickly returned to her room. Seeing Li Jianxin's condition, He Zhi Qiu had no choice but to return to his own room.

Let's take another look at Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue back in their room.
