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

"Elder Qin, slow down, slow down, it's too fast, I'm going to throw up."

Above the clouds, Ye Liuyun clung tightly to Lin Aoxue like an octopus.

There was no other way; Ye Liuyun's spiritual power was too weak. At most, he could only withstand the full-speed flight of a Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator. High-speed flight also required the support of strength.

During the full-speed flight through the Four Extremes Secret Realm, the airflow was so strong that she couldn't open her eyes at all, and she felt as if her consciousness was about to be blown out of her body.

If this were an ordinary person, they would have started snickering on the spot.

Looking at Lin Aoxue again, she was constantly releasing her power to resist the airflow, and judging from her appearance, she was clearly struggling.

Qin Su kept her eyes on the two of them out of the corner of her eye. She didn't pay much attention to Ye Liuyun. With his cultivation level at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm, he wouldn't even be qualified to become a menial disciple of the Cloud Sect, or rather, he wouldn't even be able to enter the gate.

If it weren't for controlling Lin Aoxue, they would never have allowed someone with such poor aptitude to come to the Yun Sect.

Ye Liuyun went to Yunzong. His aptitude was undoubtedly the worst in Yunzong. However, in order to control and please Lin Aoxue, Yunzong decided to give Ye Liuyun the status of a formal disciple.

Qin Su was clearly testing the two of them on purpose. She was very satisfied with Lin Aoxue's performance, which was better than when she took Qi Chaoying to Yunzong back then, at least three or four times better.

"She is indeed extraordinary. It's a pity. If our Yun Sect hadn't been in such an awkward period, this little girl would definitely have stayed with the Yun Sect. In that case, she would most likely have become a pillar of the Yun Sect in the future. As for this little girl, her talent can no longer be described as ordinary; it can only be described as poor." Qin Su had already given the two of them a fair assessment.

This assessment implies that Ye Liuyun wouldn't receive very good treatment at the Yun Sect. After all, it's already quite remarkable that someone who isn't worth cultivating would be allowed to enjoy the same treatment as an ordinary disciple at the Yun Sect.

Qin Su quickly slowed down; the test was over.

“Little girl, the difference between you and your sister is really huge. As far as we know, you and she started learning on the same day. Your sister is almost at the Dao Palace realm, but how come you are still stuck in the early stage of the Spirit Stream realm?” Qin Su couldn’t help but ask.

In her opinion, even someone with poor aptitude could reach the Spirit River Realm in a few years if they worked hard enough. The Sea of ​​Wheels Realm didn't have such high requirements for aptitude; as long as one worked hard enough, reaching the Spirit Pattern Realm wouldn't be a problem.

As his speed decreased, Ye Liuyun suddenly spat out a mouthful of bodily fluid.

"vomit……"

This vomiting completely soiled Lin Aoxue's back, but fortunately it was all water, otherwise Lin Aoxue would have been disgusted to death.

"Ugh, this is filthy! Why did you vomit on my back?" Lin Aoxue was about to lose it.

If it were anyone else, Lin Aoxue would have punched them and gone berserk.

"Sorry, I couldn't help it, it was too uncomfortable." Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes.

Lin Aoxue rolled her eyes and then sighed helplessly.

By the way, Fan Ling didn't go with them because Yun Zong definitely wouldn't let her join them.

However, Ye Liuyun couldn't let Fan Ling leave her, so she had Lan Wei Sword possess Fan Ling and have them secretly follow behind her after they left. Once they arrived at Yun Sect, she would find a way to bring them in.

Currently, Lan Wei is controlling Fan Ling's body and is following the three of them in a hidden area below.

"Lan Wei, tell me, Yun Zong won't let us in. Master might as well let us roam freely. If something happens, just call out and we'll come right away. Why does he have to keep us by his side? What if our secret is discovered?" Fan Ling complained as she flew close to the ground.

But Lan Wei immediately retorted.

"Shut up! You're just a maid. Who gave you permission to talk about your master behind his back? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of my master," Lan Wei said in a stern voice.

Fan Ling was immediately speechless upon hearing this.

"Damn it, you're just a sword, not even a person, what's so amazing about you?" Fan Ling dared not speak her anger, and could only curse in her heart.

However, Lan Wei seemed to have noticed Fan Ling's worries.

"You can scold me, but you're not allowed to talk about the master. I'm warning you, I know exactly what you're thinking. If you have those thoughts again, you'll bear the consequences," Lan Wei reminded her again.

Fan Ling was helpless. She could only try not to think or say anything. Why was she arguing with a sword?

Faced with Qin Su's question, Ye Liuyun did not hide anything and obediently answered.

"Ah? Well, well, disciple, my aptitude isn't good, so I've given up cultivating spiritual power and will focus on a secondary profession instead," Ye Liuyun said, wiping his mouth with discomfort.

But these words made Qin Su shake her head again.

"With this level of cultivation, you want to pursue a secondary profession? Even if you achieve something, how long can you live? As a cultivator, only by living longer can you be qualified to pursue a secondary profession. Otherwise, with your current cultivation level, you will have to reincarnate again in a hundred years," Qin Su admonished.

For any normal cultivator, the first consideration is cultivation level. The Spirit Stream Realm is really too weak. At least one should reach the Spirit River Realm and then spend some time cultivating a secondary profession. In her opinion, giving up cultivating spiritual power at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm is a completely foolish choice.

Lin Aoxue wanted to laugh, but she definitely couldn't, because Ye Liuyun wouldn't die. Not dying meant she had plenty of time. She had the same attitude as Qin Su before, but now it didn't matter anymore.

"Well, Elder, I know my aptitude is poor, and I understand that no matter how hard I try, my cultivation level won't be very high. Rather than wasting time, I'd rather do something I enjoy in my lifetime. I really like secondary professions," Ye Liuyun said earnestly.

Qin Su had no solution after hearing this.

"Sigh! Since you've already come to your senses, I won't say anything more." Qin Su didn't ramble on any further.

At Qin Su's speed, it wouldn't take more than an hour to travel between Yunzong and Yunxiazong.

They soon flew into a mountainous region with a high altitude, where the peaks averaged the height of the highest peak in the Floating Clouds Mountains.

Ten-thousand-meter-high peaks are everywhere, and the mountains here seem to stand tall in the clouds, which is very spectacular. This place is the Cloud Sea Mountain Range where the Cloud Sect is located.

The Yunhai Mountains are no less dangerous than the Liuyang Mountains, and much more so. The Yunhai Mountains are also a branch of the Tianduan Ridge, where the spiritual energy is more abundant and the cultivation resources are richer.

The Yun Sect occupies an area with resources no less than the Liuyang Mountain Range, no wonder their status is almost immune to external influences and they only decline on their own.

The Cloud Sea Mountains are the territory of the Cloud Sect. Of course, outside cultivators can also enter this place to cultivate, but they must pay an entrance fee to the Cloud Sect.

Within the territory of Jiangzhou Prefecture, there are four medium-sized sects: Yun Sect, Yaori Sect, Feijian Sect, and Wuling Mountain.

——————————————————————————————————————

Of these four sects, the Cloud Sect is definitely the strongest and has the largest territory. A hundred years from now, the three sects that will pose the greatest threat to the Cloud Sect will be the Cloud Sect. One of these three sects will definitely replace the Cloud Sect.

“No wonder the Yun Sect is located on the edge of Jianglin City, yet no one has been able to discover its existence. The Yunhai Mountain Range has a natural barrier that obscures the view, making it virtually impossible for ordinary people to enter the core area of ​​the Yunhai Mountain Range,” Lin Qingyou said, looking at the Yunhai Mountain Range before her.

"Power? What is that?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Lin Qingyou quickly explained that "shi" is a naturally formed formation. This kind of formation does not require power to activate it. People within the formation are as if they are isolated from the world. Without guidance, they will be trapped inside and unable to get out, and people outside cannot get in either.

After listening, Ye Liuyun immediately recalled the story of Peach Blossom Spring that he had learned in his previous life. That Peach Blossom Spring felt just like the place Lin Qingyou had described.

"So, entering the Cloud Sect is like entering a cage, and if no one opens the door, you can't get in or out, is that what you mean?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Lin Qingyou nodded.

“That’s right, but the Cloud Sea Mountain Range is big enough, at least ten times bigger than it appears from the outside. For an average cultivator, such a place is already quite large,” Lin Qingyou replied.

This is only the outer perimeter of the Yunhai Mountains; we haven't fully entered the heart of the area yet.

"We're almost there. The mountain range of my Yun Sect is hidden within a natural formation, requiring special methods to enter and exit. Without the guidance of a Yun Sect cultivator, it's very difficult for outsiders to get in," Qin Su said.

After they finished speaking, they stopped somewhere in the Cloud Sea Mountains. After stopping, Qin Su took out a token, then made a hand seal. Immediately, a blue light emanated from the token, as if it were echoing something in the Cloud Sea ahead.

A moment later, a hole gradually appeared in the sea of ​​clouds; this hole was the passage into the Cloud Sect.

"The door is open. Let's go. We Yunzong cultivators can use tokens to communicate with the array core of the Yunzong Mountain Protection Array and open a passage. However, this passage can only be maintained for one minute. You must cross it within one minute, or you will be trapped." Qin Su explained, and then led the two of them inside.

The Cloud Sect truly lives up to its reputation as a mid-level sect; its methods are far more advanced than those of the Cloud Mist Sect.

However, Lin Aoxue appeared very calm because she had the inheritance of the Heavenly Sect. This power had existed for thousands of years. The Cloud Sect occupied the Heavenly Sect's mountain gate, so Lin Aoxue was fully aware of this.

After passing through the cloud sea passage, the three entered a brand new space, which was the location of the Cloud Sect Mountain Range.

There are six very prominent mountain peaks here. The peaks are very large, with five 9,000-meter peaks surrounding a 10,000-meter peak. There are also many other 1,000-meter peaks around them. All of these peaks are covered with blue-green glazed buildings, which are very beautiful and spectacular.

"We've arrived. This is the gate of our Yun Sect. The highest peak in the center is the main peak, Yunxiao Peak. The five peaks surrounding it are Ziyun Peak, Caiyun Peak, Leiyun Peak, Qingyun Peak, and Huoyun Peak," Qin Su introduced, pointing to the six peaks.

Not to mention the main peak, any of the secondary peaks is far more magnificent than the Cloud Mist Sect.

After introducing the layout of the Yunzong Mountain Gate, Qin Su carried the two of them directly into the main peak.

After entering this place, Qin Su stopped flying at high speed and instead flew slowly. She encountered many disciples along the way, and they all greeted her.

The Cloud Sect has one main peak, five deputy peaks, and six factions; not all disciples can enter the main peak.

"Elder Qin, you're back." The disciples they met on the way greeted Qin Su one after another.

Qin Su is a main peak elder, whose status is generally higher than that of the elders of the other five factions.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were also observing the disciples coming and going.

The disciples' clothes were all similar in style. The female disciples wore flowing gauze, while the male disciples wore luxurious silk. The patterns on the clothes also differed between the different factions.

For example, the disciples of Ziyun Peak wear purple cloud patterns, while the disciples of Caiyun Peak wear seven colors in a combination, making it the most complex. However, Caiyun Peak only recruits female disciples.

The disciples of Lei Yun Peak wear blue lightning patterns, the disciples of Qing Yun Peak wear clothing with patterns similar to those of Yun Xia Sect, the disciples of Huo Yun Peak wear flame patterns, and the disciples of Yun Xiao Peak wear white clothing with blue patterns.

After flying into Cloud Peak, they landed on a very spacious square on Cloud Peak. There were many disciples active here, and many shops around. This should be the disciple market of Cloud Sect. This disciple market is much larger than the disciple market of Cloud Mist Sect.

Yun Sect disciples don't go to Yunhai City to buy what they need, as prices there are generally too high. Instead, they use their contribution points to buy things at the disciple market, which is at least 30% cheaper than buying them in Yunhai City.

Qin Su suddenly arrived at the main peak with two outsiders, and the surrounding disciples all cast curious glances at Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun.

"Huh? That's strange. Who are these two? They're not wearing our Yun Sect's disciple robes. Are they newly initiated disciples?" the disciples murmured curiously.

The weakest disciples here are at the Spirit Pattern Realm, with only a few at the Spirit Sea Realm, and Dao Palace level disciples are everywhere.

However, like other sects in Jiangzhou Prefecture, Yunzong's disciples have all suffered from Ye Liuyun's misfortune. Originally, there were at least 80% male disciples, but now the ratio is 50% female disciples and 50% male disciples.

However, Yunzong has not yet issued any orders requiring disciples who have changed genders to change into the corresponding disciple attire according to their gender.

Therefore, you can still see many female disciples dressed as men, but those who have become male disciples are definitely not allowed to continue dressing as women in the guise of men, because that is unacceptable to people.

This matter also gave Yunzong a headache. Changing genders meant that many systems needed to be changed. How to arrange so many female disciples? Other peaks were fine, but Caiyun Peak was particularly bad. One-third of the female disciples on Caiyun Peak had become male disciples. According to the rules, they would definitely have to be assigned to other factions.

"Eh? Elder, these senior sisters dressed as male disciples, could they all be the senior brothers whose genders were changed by the power of heaven and earth last time?" Ye Liuyun asked, looking at the many female disciples dressed as men around him.

The Cloud Sect has tens of thousands of disciples.

Upon hearing this, Qin Su couldn't help but complain.

"This matter is the most troublesome thing for the sect right now. No one knows how to handle it. The sect is discussing how to redistribute the elders and disciples who have changed genders, which has caused quite a bit of factional disputes," Qin Su said with a headache.

That's how it is when there are many people in the Yun Sect, unlike the Yunxia Sect, which only has a few thousand people. They can forcefully issue orders, and you have to obey them whether you want to or not.

This time, the disciples who changed gender in Yunzong accounted for 70% of the entire sect. The same was true among the higher-ups. Anyway, for some reason, it was very balanced. The number of male and female high-ups was almost equal, and the number of male and female disciples was also about the same.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue immediately gave Ye Liuyun a strange laugh.

When Ye Liuyun saw Lin Aoxue's amused look, she knew that Lin Aoxue was teasing her. Ye Liuyun's masterpiece had a huge impact on Jiangzhou Prefecture.

Chapter 255 Negotiating Conditions (5000 words)

Led by Qin Su, the two arrived at the main hall of the Yun Sect. To welcome Lin Aoxue's arrival, the Yun Sect's high-ranking officials had been waiting in the hall for a long time.

They wanted to see this beautiful young woman from the Yunxia Sect.

Lin Aoxue's future is crucial to the survival of their Yun Sect a hundred years from now, so they cannot afford to ignore it. As for Ye Liuyun, he is merely a supporting character.

The two followed Qin Su into the main hall. This hall was not particularly down-to-earth. Although it was magnificent, there was a sense of oppression as soon as you entered because there were high platforms all around. After you entered, you had to look up at the people sitting on the high platforms.

The platform was at least ten meters high. As soon as Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue entered, they were locked onto by dozens of scrutinizing gazes, a feeling that made them very uncomfortable.

Lin Aoxue raised an eyebrow. She didn't like this feeling. A group of people were high above her, like gods looking down on mortals.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, Lin Aoxue has arrived," Qin Su said to the young man on the central platform in front of her.

The person sitting in the very center of the front row was naturally Fang Mingyu, the master of the Yun Sect; they had met before.

“Yes,” Fang Mingyu nodded.

After speaking, Qin Su leaped up and landed on an empty spot on the high platform, where she sat down cross-legged.

Those who can sit here are at least cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Realm. The lower the cultivation level, the further back the seat is. Qin Su is the last one on the right. So, she is the weakest or the youngest among the cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Realm in the Cloud Sect.

"Not bad, not bad. At such a young age, not even thirty, she has already reached the late stage of the Spirit Pattern Realm. She is close to the peak of the Spirit Pattern Realm. With such talent, with a little polishing, it will be easy for her to catch the eye of the upper sects." A female elder dressed as a man sitting to Fang Mingyu's left nodded with great satisfaction as she looked at Lin Aoxue.

This is Qin Huantian, the Grand Elder of the Cloud Sect. Originally an old man, she became much more beautiful after transforming into a woman.

“She is indeed very good, more outstanding than any of our Yun Sect’s younger generation disciples. I have no objection to her representing our Yun Sect at the Nanling Gathering.” The Second Elder of the Yun Sect also spoke up with a smile.

Since the two most powerful elders nodded, the other elders had no reason to say anything, so they all nodded as well.

"Lin Aoxue, this is our Cloud Sect Master, Fang Mingyu, and all the elders. Hurry up and pay your respects," Qin Su reminded them.

However, Lin Aoxue didn't react at all, because she wasn't particularly happy about this matter from the beginning.

Especially when they used Ye Liuyun to threaten her, she was a person of strong emotions. If she was unhappy, she was unhappy, so she had no intention of giving these people a friendly look. They were all arrogant and thought they had other people's fates in their hands.

"Aoxue, Aoxue." Ye Liuyun reached out and tugged at Lin Aoxue's clothes, urging her to quickly bow.

However, Lin Aoxue reached out and pushed her hand away, then continued to stare at Fang Mingyu without saying a word.

Her attitude naturally displeased the higher-ups of the Yun Sect. After all, even Yun Yun had to bow respectfully when she came to the Yun Sect, but Yun Yun's disciple dared not give them, the experts of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, any dissatisfaction was understandable.

"Lin Aoxue, didn't your master Yun Yun teach you to respect the elders of the sect? How can you be so ill-mannered?" The third elder of the Yun Sect, a female elder at the third level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm, questioned in a deep voice.

Ye Liuyun was anxious. As soon as she saw Lin Aoxue, she knew that the other party was throwing a tantrum. She didn't want Lin Aoxue to offend these people. Any one of these people could easily control Lin Aoxue.
