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

"Hmph! Senior, politeness is only shown to elders I believe should be respected. I am not a disciple of the Yun Sect, and you powerful figures are not my masters. You used threats to force me to come to the Yun Sect, fight for the Yun Sect, and participate in the Nanling Grand Gathering. Do you seniors think such methods are worthy of my respect? Do you think that strength can determine everything? Can you decide the fate of the Yun Sect?" Lin Aoxue questioned righteously.

These words immediately displeased the group that had been quite satisfied with Lin Aoxue. Of course, only a few people reacted strongly; not all of the Yun Sect's high-ranking members seemed unhappy.

Because Lin Aoxue is right. They were forced to come here, not voluntarily. Why should anyone be happy about it?

"Lin Aoxue, you're taking our favor for granted. You know our Yun Sect needs your help, so you don't take us seriously, is that it?" An elder stood up and rebuked.

Lin Aoxue did not back down despite the aura of a Four Extremes Realm expert that the other party displayed.

"Being arrogant because of favors is a matter of personal choice. I have no relation to any of you seniors, and we only met today. Since I began cultivating, I have never received any favors from the sect. I believe that I have no vested interests with the sect and do not owe it anything. If you want my respect, you must at least give me a reason to do so," Lin Aoxue retorted, still neither humble nor arrogant.

These people, used to being high and mighty, really couldn't stand Lin Aoxue's repeated provocations.

"you?"

Just as someone was about to explode, Fang Mingyu spoke up.

"Quiet down, everyone. This Miss Lin's words may be rough, but they make sense. Being able to express her dissatisfaction in front of so many of us is at least an upright act. It's much better than those petty people who hide their resentment in their hearts, isn't it?" Fang Mingyu said with a smile.

Fang Mingyu's words silenced everyone.

His words in her defense made Lin Aoxue look at him with newfound respect.

"Senior Fang, that's a very fair statement. I'm just putting some issues that need to be resolved on the table. If you seniors can resolve these issues, I will definitely be willing to help the Upper Sect gain benefits at the Southern Ridge Gathering. Otherwise, even if I go, it will be against my will. Can you all be sure that if I join the Supreme Response Sect, I will definitely help the Cloud Sect buy time?" Lin Aoxue also said.

This question stumped everyone. Indeed, Lin Aoxue was a double-edged sword; she might help them overcome difficulties, or she might hasten the demise of their Yun Sect. It all depended on the Yun Sect's attitude towards Ye Liuyun.

Lin Aoxue's words were clear, and Fang Mingyu immediately glanced at Ye Liuyun.

“Junior Sister Su, let Lin Aoxue’s older sister join your Caiyun Peak. Although I think her aptitude isn’t very good, in order to please Miss Lin, I can make an exception and grant her the status of a formal disciple of the Yun Sect,” Fang Mingyu said calmly.

Lin Aoxue's assertiveness was actually to prevent the Yun Sect from mistreating Ye Liuyun because of his low cultivation level. After all, Ye Liuyun was going to become a formal disciple of the Yun Sect, while she was only there to cultivate for a period of time.

"Yes, Sect Master." A very beautiful and gentle-looking woman smiled and nodded to Fang Mingyu.

This woman is Su Ying, the master of Caiyun Peak, a cultivator at the third level of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

Su Ying glanced at Ye Liuyun, then took out an identity token. She was probably notifying the disciples of Caiyun Peak to come and welcome Ye Liuyun into the sect.

"Miss Lin, are you satisfied now?" Fang Mingyu asked with a smile.

But Lin Aoxue had no intention of letting it go so easily.

"Satisfied? My sister enjoys the treatment of an inner core disciple in the Yunxia Sect. May I ask what kind of treatment the upper sect plans to give my sister?" Lin Aoxue asked again.

Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes. She knew that Lin Aoxue was negotiating with Yunzong, wanting her to have a more comfortable life in Yunzong.

“Originally, we planned to give her the treatment of an outer disciple, but in order to satisfy you, we made an exception and made her an inner disciple of Caiyun Peak. Moreover, the sect also made an exception and bestowed upon her a longevity pill so that she can live longer,” Fang Mingyu said.

Lin Aoxue was taken aback. She had thought that Yunzong would only give her the status of an ordinary disciple, but she didn't expect her to be an inner disciple, so she was relieved.

"Since that's the case, then I have no further requests. As long as Yunzong treats my sister well, I will do my utmost to help Yunzong overcome this difficulty. I, Lin Aoxue, keep my word." Lin Aoxue then bowed to everyone.

Lin Aoxue's strength is what makes Yunzong wary. If she appears too weak, she will be completely controlled by Yunzong. Besides, it is Yunzong who needs her, not the other way around.

Not long after, a female Dao Palace cultivator dressed in the robes of a Caiyun Peak disciple flew in from outside the main hall and landed in front of everyone.

"Greetings, Sect Master, greetings to all elders, greetings to Master. May I ask why Master has summoned me here?" the female disciple asked respectfully.

Since no one else spoke, Su Ying was the only one who needed to speak.

"Han Yao, from today onwards, this girl will be an inner disciple of our Caiyun Peak. Take her back to Caiyun Peak," Su Ying said, pointing at Ye Liuyun.

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

The girl named Han Yao immediately glanced at Ye Liuyun, and when she realized that Ye Liuyun was only at the Spirit Stream Realm, she was stunned.

"Early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm? No way, someone with this level of cultivation can become an inner disciple of our Rainbow Cloud Peak. How is this possible? This is unprecedented!" Han Yao was stunned.

Indeed, Yun Sect has never set such a precedent since its founding. This time, it is a matter of life and death for the sect, so rules and regulations are no longer important.

"Yes, Master." Although Han Yao was puzzled, she still nodded.

After Han Yao finished speaking, she walked up to Ye Liuyun and gestured to him in a friendly manner.

"Junior sister, please come with me."

Ye Liuyun hesitated for a moment, glanced at the other person, and then looked at Lin Aoxue.

"Don't worry, you sisters can meet anytime you want. It's just that your sister's matter isn't over yet. Once it's settled, she'll come to Caiyun Peak to see you," Fang Mingyu said, having seen through Ye Liuyun's thoughts.

Lin Aoxue nodded to Ye Liuyun, indicating that she could rest assured.

Ye Liuyun could only use his eyes to tell Lin Aoxue to be careful, and then he turned and left with Han Yao. After Ye Liuyun left, Fang Mingyu and the others continued talking.

“Miss Lin, we in the Yun Sect know you are very dissatisfied with this coercive behavior, but our Yun Sect is at a critical juncture of life and death and has no other choice. I can assure you that as long as you stand out at the Nanling Grand Gathering, afterwards, our Yun Sect will allow your sister to enjoy the treatment of a core disciple. If you can bring a glimmer of hope to our Yun Sect, our Yun Sect will allow your sister to enjoy the treatment of a personal disciple.” Fang Mingyu also spoke frankly.

Lin Aoxue didn't care about any of this; she wasn't worried about Ye Liuyun's safety.

“Okay, it’s a deal. So, what do I need to do next?” Lin Aoxue smiled and asked.

Fang Mingyu and the others chuckled.

"You don't need to do anything. In the coming period, you just need to go to our Cloud Sect Library and learn more techniques. We will do everything possible to help you reach the Dao Palace realm in a short time," Fang Mingyu replied.

In other words, Lin Aoxue came to Yunzong to cultivate and did nothing else.

Lin Aoxue definitely enjoys cultivation, and if it allows her to master even stronger techniques, that would be the best thing ever. She has no reason not to cooperate.

A moment later, Lin Aoxue, led by the Grand Elder of the Cloud Sect, left the main hall and flew to a certain place on Cloud Peak.

Lin Aoxue came to Yunzong and became a direct disciple of the main peak, and then went to Yunzong’s library to cultivate.

As for Ye Liuyun, under Han Yao's guidance, she had already flown out of Yunxiao Peak and headed south to a mountain peak with red flowers and green willows, which was Caiyun Peak.

It's a very beautiful mountain peak, much more magnificent and exquisite than Yunxia Sect.

When things are peaceful, each faction operates independently, and even the sect leader cannot easily interfere. They are also in a competitive relationship with each other.

Although they are from the same school, they have different lineages and their own rules.

The martial arts techniques of Caiyun Peak mainly involve the three attributes of water, ice, and wind. The main weapon used by the sect is the Xiapei (a type of shawl), so Caiyun Peak disciples are basically all wearing a Xiapei.

"Junior sister, what's your name? Where are you from?" Han Yao asked.

"Oh, my name is Ye Liuyu, from the Yunxia Sect," Ye Liuyun quickly replied.

The other party was taken aback when they heard that Ye Liuyun was a disciple of the Yunxia Sect.

"Oh, disciples from the four lower-level sects? That's strange. Didn't the sect decide to stop requiring the four lower-level sects to send disciples?" Han Yao wondered.

There are many things about the Cloud Sect that these disciples don't know.

Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly and didn't explain much. Since the other party hadn't asked, it was best for her to say as little as possible to avoid saying the wrong thing and causing trouble.

Arriving in an unfamiliar environment, Ye Liuyun became reserved again, unsure when he would get used to it. They landed at the entrance of the Caiyun Peak Dojo. Caiyun Peak was larger than Yunxia Sect, with 70% of the sect's female disciples residing there.

"Hey? Senior Sister, where have you been? And you brought back a cute little sister." As soon as Han Yao landed, a lot of Caiyun Peak disciples surrounded her.

However, among these disciples were many heavily made-up men who spoke in a delicate, sweet voice, which gave Ye Liuyun goosebumps.

"Damn, are these all female disciples of Caiyun Peak who have become male? I think we should quickly reassign the disciples according to gender." Ye Liuyun felt a chill run down his spine.

Can you imagine what it would be like to see a group of grown men wearing heavy makeup and looking delicate and effeminate?

There's no way anyone can stand this. Looking around, most of these people are disciples at the Dao Palace level. Those who can directly talk to Han Yao must at least be Dao Palace cultivators.

Han Yao is a cultivator at the fourth level of the Dao Palace, which is stronger than Yun Yun.

"Hey, stop surrounding me! I can't stand it! I'm telling you, you've all turned into men, so stop wearing makeup and be a little more serious. Things have been so chaotic lately," Han Yao couldn't help but scold.

However, Han Yao's words caused these female-to-male disciples to burst into tears.

"Oh dear, even our senior sister despises us. We are so unlucky. I don't want to be a man! God, I'm willing to trade a hundred years of my life for the chance to become a woman again!"

Hearing the men crying and sobbing, Ye Liuyun felt a chill run down his spine, and Han Yao quickly led him away.

Although she felt sorry for her former sisters, she could only slowly adapt to the situation as it had come to this.

"Um, Senior Sister Han, are you the senior sister of Caiyun Peak?" Ye Liuyun asked timidly.

"Sigh! Yes, I really hope the sect will make a decision soon and redistribute the disciples, otherwise everything will be in chaos," Han Yao said, rubbing her head.

Ye Liuyun felt guilty again. This was her masterpiece, but it was definitely not intentional.

“Our Yunxia Sect is the same, but the sect has issued a strict order that everyone must be reassigned according to gender,” Ye Liuyun said.

"That's how it should be. You don't know, it was even worse a while ago. A group of male disciples dressed in women's clothing were running around everywhere. If the sect hadn't thought it was a bit indecent and ordered them to wear men's clothing, it would have been even more embarrassing. Besides, our Yun Sect is too big, with tens of thousands of people. It's definitely not something that can be solved with just one order." Han Yao shook her head.

Indeed, in the Yun Sect, such matters can only be addressed gradually. Forcing them all at once would be detrimental to the cultivation of the disciples.

"Isn't there any elixir that can change gender?" Ye Liuyun asked curiously.

Believe it or not, such pills do exist in the cultivation world, but they are not pills; rather, they are rare treasures.

"I've never heard of a gender-changing pill. After all, what alchemist would be so bored? Besides, there's no demand for such a thing in the cultivation world. However, there is a rare treasure called the Yin-Yang Reversal Grass, which can change one's gender. But this thing is extremely rare and hard to come by," Han Yao replied.

Ye Liuyun immediately asked Lin Qingyou, who admitted that there were many rare treasures that could change one's gender. In fact, there were ways to change one's gender, but they were quite troublesome and might eventually leave one neither male nor female.

What's the solution? Just as heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang, so too are men and women. If a man absorbs too much pure yin energy, he will become feminine, and if a woman absorbs too much pure yang energy, she will become masculine.

However, to achieve a complete gender reversal, one needs to rely on certain treasures, and the Yin-Yang Reversal Grass is just one of them.

Ye Liuyun followed Han Yao into the Caiyun Peak Disciple Management Hall to complete the disciple entry procedures and receive disciple robes and various items provided to inner disciples.

The inner disciples of the Yun Sect's Caiyun Peak have very beautiful attire. If we're talking about their attire after the Yunxia Sect incident, which is somewhat like that of a female knight-errant in a martial arts novel, then the inner disciples of the Yun Sect have completely transcended the attire of ordinary people.

Chapter 256 Fairies Fight Without Using Their Feet (4500 words)

Inside the disciple management pavilion of Caiyun Peak, Ye Liuyun, led by Han Yao, received the Caiyun Peak disciple's robes, and then, at the request of the steward, went to the next room to change into the robes.

The larger the sect, the more rules it has. There's no other way; with so many people, strict rules are necessary to keep them in check.

Inside the room, Ye Liuyun stared wide-eyed at the disciple robes he had received. This elaborate inner disciple robe actually contained a complete set of top-grade human-rank magic treasures—a privilege reserved only for direct disciples of the Yunxia Sect.

No wonder everyone says that when a disciple of the Yunxia Sect comes to the Yun Sect, he is at most just entering the inner sect. Looking at the items in front of him, Ye Liuyun believed it.

How is status determined in this world? It's very simple: the more elaborate the clothing and the more gorgeous and exquisite the attire, the higher the status. The attire of the inner disciples of the Cloud Sect is no less than that of noble ladies in the secular world on formal occasions.

"Wow! Another new experience. Hey, are these stockings? Oh, they shouldn't be. They don't have the elasticity of stockings." Ye Liuyun picked up a pair of stockings that were as thin as cicada wings and took a look. He initially thought they were stockings, but upon closer inspection, they weren't.

This entire outfit consists of a complex combination of undergarments, linings, outer garments, jewelry, shoes, and a shawl.

The clothes are mainly white, but the patterns and accessories are in a variety of colors, so they look very vibrant, just like the name of Caiyun Peak, with colorful clouds and the clothes are also dazzling.

This was also the first time Ye Liuyun had worn an outfit with so many different colors.

She watched for a while, then, not wanting to waste any more time, she reached out and took off her clothes one by one. She was already quite familiar with women's clothing.

"Tsk tsk! What a perfect figure. Looking at this body as if I were raising a daughter, it's a feast for the eyes. After getting used to seeing women's bodies, suddenly recalling the flat bodies of men from the past is such a difference in sensory experience." Ye Liuyun looked in the mirror, stroked his body, and smiled with a flushed face.

To be honest, looking at his own expression at this moment, Ye Liuyun felt like a pervert seeing a top-tier beauty. His eyes were full of fanaticism, as if he wanted to devour his reflection in the mirror.

Only at this moment would Ye Liuyun reveal his hidden male desires, because a normal woman would never look at her own body with such an expression.

This look and reaction are very similar to the lewd look that some male gamers on Earth have when they look at their female character accounts.

"Oh dear, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to get a nosebleed if I keep looking! Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, I need to stay calm, I need to stay composed. How can I be so captivated by my own good looks? But, I really am too good-looking." Ye Liuyun wanted to stay calm, but every time he looked at his own body, he just couldn't calm down.

Lin Qingyou was floating beside Ye Liuyun at this moment. She watched Ye Liuyun standing naked in front of the mirror, acting crazy, and sighed heavily again.

"It's really bizarre to act crazy about one's own body," Lin Qingyou remarked.

After looking at it for a while, Ye Liuyun picked up the bra and put it on. The bra felt very modern. It was not the common bellyband style, but more like a bra with exquisite patterns on it. The way of wearing it was also similar to that of a bra.

To be honest, this thing isn't particularly comfortable to wear, but it's definitely much more secure than a regular bra.

This world is not as primitive as we imagine. The further upstream you go, the closer many things become to Earth's modern civilization, but they haven't completely transformed. Of course, the worldview of this world is also unlikely to completely transform into modern civilization.

Because cultivators are one of the main factors that suppress modern civilization. The world is not controlled by ordinary people, but by cultivators. Cultivators will not allow the unlimited development of worldly civilization, because it is meaningless to them.

If the development of mortal civilization is too rapid, it will threaten the status of cultivators. Although the cultivation world and the mortal world are managed separately in the Tang Kingdom, everything in the Tang Kingdom is decided by the Nine Heavens Holy Land. With a single word from the Nine Heavens Holy Land, the Tang Kingdom can be overthrown. Therefore, if the cultivation world wants to develop, it must completely separate itself from the mortal world.

But that's unlikely at the moment, because in the cultivation world, the mortal realm is just a breeding ground that provides fresh blood.

"Oh dear, these stockings aren't stockings, but they feel almost the same. They're cool and smooth, just like the feeling when Aoxue used to wear stockings. They fit perfectly against my skin. It's a little embarrassing," Ye Liuyun exclaimed, touching her beautiful legs clad in white stockings.

These stockings reach just to the thigh and have a wavy, lace trim. Unlike regular stockings that tend to slip down, these adhere perfectly to the skin, like a tattoo. It just goes to show that women in the cultivation world understand enjoyment and aesthetics better than women in the mortal realm.

The clothes in the cultivation world are similar to those in the mortal world, or rather, they are modified versions of them.

After experiencing the sights, Ye Liuyun stopped admiring herself and quickly put on her clothes. This time, she also wore earrings, but these weren't ordinary earrings; beneath the jade pendant was a long purple ribbon.

The hair ornaments also changed from unisex crowns to golden hairpins with blue and green gemstones hanging from them, sparkling brightly.

To be honest, after this outfit, Ye Liuyun immediately became dignified, mature and poised, because underage girls usually don't dress up in such a complicated way; this outfit is basically what adult noblewomen wear.
