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

This is another big move; it's something that mid-level sects have, but lower-level sects don't.

"Senior Sister, I'm back." At the entrance of the cultivation room on the top floor of the Thunder Tower, Kong Jie respectfully bowed to the closed stone chamber.

"Hmm! How is the situation?" A deep, androgynous female voice quickly came from inside.

This voice is different from the gentle feeling of a woman; it is oppressive and instills fear as soon as it opens its mouth.

"This Ye Liuyu, apart from being a little pretty, doesn't seem to be anything special. She's just a weak and frail Spirit Stream Realm cultivator. Today she said she had many things to take care of and couldn't come to pay her respects to you. She said she would come to Thundercloud Peak to pay her respects to you in three days," Kong Jie said.

"Really? I don't believe that someone who can be arranged by the sect to live in Bixia Valley is just an ordinary pretty face. What were the reactions of the other parties?" the woman asked again.

"Replying to Senior Sister, apart from Senior Brother Meng Chuan's people, everyone else is hiding in the distance watching the show. They probably really hope we directly clash with this Ye Liuyu, so they can make us the ones to stick our necks out," Kong Jie said disdainfully.

The disciples of Lei Yunfeng have always been straightforward; if they're unhappy, they're unhappy, and they don't like to hide it.

"That's settled then. Let's see how this new Junior Sister Ye is in three days. By the way, what's the situation with her sister, Lin Aoxue? Is it possible to get in touch with her?" Ji Chunling asked again, referring to Lin Aoxue.

Actually, she cared more about Lin Aoxue than Ye Liuyun.

“Eh? We can’t get in touch with this Senior Sister Lin. She was personally led by the Grand Elder when she arrived. After completing the entry procedures at the main peak, she entered the core library of the sect and hasn’t come out since. This woman has a very powerful background. However, according to our investigation, she should be a disciple of our subordinate sect, Yunxia Sect,” Kong Jie explained.

These words stunned Ji Chunling.

"A disciple of the Cloud Mist Sect?"

“Yes, Senior Sister, when we went to Jianglin City to besiege the Blood Demon Sect’s Jiangzhou headquarters last time, someone from our Yun Sect saw Lin Aoxue. This Lin Aoxue is quite special,” Kong Jie replied.

Ji Chunling remained silent and did not say anything more, because the sect's actions this time were unconventional and difficult to understand.

"That's fine then. You go back first. I'll meet with Ye Liuyu in three days and then we'll talk about it," Ji Chunling suggested.

Kong Jie nodded, then turned and left.

The followers of the other families had already used special means to map out Ye Liuyun's image and take it back to their leaders for inspection.

These people reacted in different ways. Of course, the higher-ups of the Yun Sect were aware of the situation below, but they did not take it seriously.

Let's talk about Lin Aoxue. Lin Aoxue stayed in the core library of the Yun Sect, trying her best to learn the various techniques inside. The techniques here were much more powerful than those learned in the Yunxia Sect.

She still needs to absorb and comprehend the inheritance she received from Lin Junxian, which will take time. The inheritance she received from the Demon Emperor's Tomb will also take time.

Therefore, if you want to become stronger as quickly as possible, the cultivation techniques passed down from the Cloud Sect are the simplest and fastest way.

However, as Ye Liuyun began refining medicine, the Yun Sect began to experience what the Yunxia Sect had gone through.

Because the pills Ye Liuyun refined this time were of higher quality, the resulting celestial phenomena were also stronger.

Moreover, the strange phenomena created by Ye Liuyun's alchemy were not attacks from cultivators, and the sect's formations would not regard them as enemy attacks.

A cold air current gathered at an extremely fast speed above the Cloud Sect. This time, Ye Liuyun was refining an ice-attribute Ice Explosion Pill with multiple pill patterns. In the past, she had deliberately refined it to the point of ruin in order to suppress the strange phenomena.

Without pill patterns, a white-grade pill might produce thunder and wind, but it won't actually rain. However, once it has pill patterns, its power will gradually increase based on the strength of the pill patterns, and the power of the strange phenomena will also increase.

However, different pills have different effects, and some pills need to be modified by adding other medicinal materials to increase their power.

"Hiss... It's so cold! Hey! Have you guys noticed how the temperature around us has suddenly dropped so much?" The disciples who were moving around within the Cloud Sect's territory all felt an irresistible chill. This cold seemed to ignore their clothes and bodies, reaching straight to their souls.

"The weather has changed, but why is it so cold?" Some female disciples looked at the sky covered by dark clouds and shivered as they hugged themselves.

The female disciples were already dressed more lightly than the male disciples, so the cold made them even more uncomfortable.

"It's snowing." Someone noticed that large, heavy snowflakes were falling from the sky, and they were falling faster and faster.

"That's strange. It's never snowed in our Yun Sect before." Someone reached out and caught a snowflake that had fallen from the sky, looking quite bewildered.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, accompanied by a biting gust of air. Cultivators below the Dao Palace level were frozen and their faces turned ashen.

"It's so cold, I can't take it anymore, I can't stand it." People who couldn't stand the cold flew back to their homes.

As for those cultivators at the Dao Palace realm, their resistance is much stronger, but they must use their magic power to envelop themselves in order to resist.

"Damn it, this, this, this awful weather, what, what's going on?" Even the cultivators at the Dao Palace realm were shivering from the cold, and after enduring it for a while, they all ran back to their residences.

But it was no use. Since the cold air could ignore their clothes and bodies, it could also ignore other objects. However, staying inside the house was at least less cold and more comfortable.

Even the cultivators from the Four Extremes Secret Realm of the Cloud Sect could feel this chill.

This is very abnormal. How cold must it be for cultivators in the Four Extremes Secret Realm to feel it?

"What's wrong with you all? It's just snowing, is it really that cold?" Some cultivators who practiced ice-attribute techniques looked around at their fellow disciples who were freezing and had snot running down their noses, and wondered.

This weather is definitely a good thing for cultivators who practice ice-attribute techniques; they will not only not feel cold, but will also feel very comfortable.

"Me, me, me, you, you cultivate ice-attribute techniques, you certainly aren't cold, oh crap!"

Currently, only cultivators who practice ice and fire attributes can withstand this cold air. Of course, ice attribute cultivators do not need to circulate their energy, and fire attribute cultivators can circulate their energy to resist some of the cold air entering their bodies. As for cultivators of other attributes, there is no way to do so.

However, it was soon discovered that flames formed by magical power, or ordinary fire generated by igniting objects, could withstand this cold current.

So in the afternoon, you could see smoke swirling everywhere in Yunzong, giving it a worldly, bustling atmosphere.

"What, what is going on? Has our Yun Sect encountered a once-in-a-millennium celestial phenomenon?" The Yun Sect's leaders examined the surroundings and found that it was indeed just a celestial phenomenon, not man-made. Moreover, the chilling aura was so strong that even the Yun Sect's formations could not withstand it.

The heavy snow, centered on Yunzong, covered about a third of the Yunhai Mountains. Fortunately, the cold air did not freeze any living creatures to death; it only made them feel cold.

Chapter 259 Alternating Between Hot and Cold (4000 words)

The dark clouds above Yunzong grew thicker and thicker, and the snow fell heavier and heavier. The cold air was everywhere, and the once bustling Yunzong suddenly fell silent.

Normally, Yun Sect disciples could be seen coming and going throughout the sect, but now they were rarely seen. Only a few disciples who had gone out and returned to Yun Sect were present, and when they came back, they almost thought they had gone to the wrong place.

"What, what, what's going on? Why is it snowing so heavily in the sect? And why is it so cold? I'm not an ordinary person. Normally, ordinary cold shouldn't affect me, right? Ugh, ouch!"

Some of the disciples who had just returned were frightened by the cold air.

The unusual phenomena produced by Ye Liuyun's alchemy usually last for a period of time, ranging from one hour to three or four hours, depending on the situation.

With such heavy snow, it would have submerged Yunzong in half an hour, let alone three or four hours.

Ye Liuyun's Bixia Valley was also covered in snow, but Ye Liuyun didn't feel anything about it. On the contrary, she found the coldness quite refreshing, since her physique had become a Yin-cold body due to her cultivation of the Glazed Jade Body.

But her little friends were suffering. The two little tiger cubs were huddled in a corner of the room, shivering, while Sun Wukong was hiding under the tassels of Liusu's hair to keep warm.

"This, this brat, she's caused all these weird phenomena again, ugh!" Sun Dasheng and Liusu complained as they squatted under the spirit peach tree.

This monkey is so cold, yet it refuses to leave the peach tree. It truly shows how deeply attached it is to the peach tree.

As for Fan Ling, she didn't feel anything at all; she was just puzzled as to why it was snowing so heavily outside.

"Strange, I remember this time of year should be summer, right? It's snowing before winter, that's too unusual!" Fan Ling was a little confused.

The Yun Sect's higher-ups even held a special meeting to discuss what exactly had happened.

Dozens of powerful cultivators from the Four Extremes Realm sat in the main hall of the Cloud Sect, each one feeling extremely uncomfortable. Only cultivators at the third level or above of the Four Extremes Realm did not react much to the cold air, but they could still feel the chill.

"Gentlemen, tell me, what's going on? Isn't this a bit too unusual?" Fang Mingyu asked, puzzled.

He had been observing for a long time and was certain that the snowfall was not man-made, but a celestial phenomenon, yet it was not a normal celestial phenomenon.

Because normal Heavenly Fragrance wouldn't affect Palace Cultivators or Four Extremes Cultivators, and even Sea of ​​Wheels Cultivators wouldn't feel anything, but for them to feel the biting cold, that's a different story.

“This is indeed extremely abnormal. I just observed the situation carefully. This cold doesn’t seem to harm life, but rather affects the soul directly. The soul feels the cold, so it chills to the bone. Cultivators who cultivate the ice attribute can ignore it, and those who cultivate the fire attribute can use their internal energy to resist it. Those who are neither fire nor ice attribute cultivators can use their magic power to condense spiritual fire to resist it, but the most effective way is to light a mortal fire to drive away the cold. There is smoke everywhere outside now, and the disciples are cutting down trees to burn for fire to keep warm.” An elder looked speechless.

Because in all their years, the Yun Sect has never seen anything so outrageous.

"Even cultivators can't withstand this cold, yet mortal fire can? That's too bizarre. Could it be that there's something wrong with the ley lines of our Cloud Sect?" another elder offered his opinion.

However, Fang Mingyu rejected this view.

“There’s no problem at all. I just asked my master, and he said it’s just a celestial phenomenon, a mutated celestial phenomenon.” Fang Mingyu shook his head.

"This? I don't understand what's going on. Fortunately, the cold isn't life-threatening, so it's not a big deal. It's just that people are lighting fires everywhere to ward off the cold, turning this beautiful blessed land into a smoky mess." The elders were at a loss.

After hearing this, the elders sighed heavily again. They only hoped that this strange phenomenon would disappear quickly, otherwise the disciples would definitely have to flee the sect soon, because they found that the cold air was only localized and did not cover the entire Yunhai Mountain Range.

However, some elders offered a different perspective.

"I think this cold is nothing. Letting the disciples suffer a bit is good. Perhaps it can temper their will and improve their perseverance," a beautiful female elder said calmly.

But as soon as the female elder opened her mouth, someone immediately criticized her.

“I say, Junior Sister Jiang, you cultivate ice-attribute techniques, so you must not care. This cold weather seems to be the perfect cultivation environment for you, right? You probably don’t want our Yun Sect to become an ice and snow environment, do you?” The speaker was also a female elder.

"Hey? Senior Sister Zhou, why are you talking like that? I'm just telling the truth. No one's going to die. Just because it's cold, does that mean everyone has to run outside the sect to avoid the cold? If this snow keeps falling, does that mean no one will come back to the sect? If that's the case, I suggest that all disciples switch to ice-attribute or fire-attribute cultivation techniques. That way, there'll be nothing to fear." The female elder surnamed Jiang immediately complained unhappily.

Although her words were blunt, they were also true. It was impossible for Yun Zong to move away just because of the cold weather; it was unrealistic, after all, few places could compare to the geological features here.

Looking at the disciples, such as Murong Huan, under the corrosive influence of this cold air, those with cultivation levels below the Four Extremes Secret Realm were treated the same. Murong Huan cut down a few bamboos to start a fire and sat by the campfire to cultivate.

However, the campfire only made him feel less uncomfortable, but a chill still kept stimulating his soul, making it impossible for him to calm down and cultivate.

"Outrageous! What a joke! I, Murong Huan, can't even keep out this little bit of cold?" Murong Huan suddenly opened his eyes, then picked up a piece of firewood from the side and threw it into the campfire to increase the heat.

The most bustling places right now are the alchemy peak and the weapon-refining peak of the Yun Sect. These two places are public areas that anyone can enter and exit. They are the two places with the highest temperature in the entire Yun Sect. Many disciples have come here to escape the cold. Even those who don't know how to refine weapons or make medicine still come here to huddle together.

"This is unbelievable! Have you ever encountered such a bizarre celestial phenomenon? I've lived for over a hundred years and have never experienced such cold weather. It's truly beyond my comprehension. Look, the snow is still falling. How long is it going to keep falling?" Many Yun Sect disciples huddled under the pavilions on both peaks, grumbling and questioning as they looked at the sky.

"Who says otherwise? This weird weather reminds me of what happened at the Demon Emperor's Tomb last time. It's a bit similar to the bizarre thing that caused gender reversal, isn't it?" someone complained.

The number of people at the Alchemy Peak and the Weapon Forging Peak is increasing rapidly, and they are soon overcrowded, especially in the pavilions, which are packed with people. The elders in charge of these two areas can no longer contain their excitement.

"You who aren't alchemists or weapon refiners, get out of here! Who told you all to crowd in here? You can't even stand this little bit of cold? What kind of cultivators are you? Get out, all of you get out!" A furious voice came from inside the Weapon Refining Peak.

Subsequently, a large number of disciples were forced to leave the Weapon Refining Peak, and the situation was similar on the Medicine Refining Peak, except that the elders there were slightly more lenient.

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

This celestial phenomenon lasted longer than when Ye Liuyun was at the Yunxia Sect, because this time Ye Liuyun was refining a pill with multiple pill patterns, which took longer.

Actually, it's already quite good that the celestial river didn't overflow.

Because Ye Liuyun was still quite restrained, she already knew how to control the power of the strange phenomena in the world caused by refining medicine. After all, she had been refining pills for so long, if she didn't even have this much skill, then all her refining would have been in vain.

Back in Bixia Valley, Lin Qingyou was constantly monitoring the situation outside, because she didn't want Ye Liuyun to kill people while refining medicine, so she definitely had to remind Ye Liuyun.

"Little one, take it easy. This cold energy is quite torturous. Finish this batch of pills and continue tomorrow," Lin Qingyou reminded him.

Ye Liuyun nodded. Lin Qingyou's reminder meant that the situation outside was quite serious. She was focused on refining medicine and had no time to pay attention to the changes outside.

About half an hour later, Ye Liuyun successfully refined the pill, but the end of the pill refining did not mean that the strange phenomenon stopped.

"Alright, that's all for today." Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief, then got up and went to the window to look out.

Upon seeing this, Ye Liuyun was stunned.

"Such heavy snow, Master, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?" Ye Liuyun asked timidly.

“As long as no one dies, there’s not much of a problem. However, the cold air generated by your alchemy is enough to make people in the Four Extremes Secret Realm feel uncomfortable. Moreover, this cold air is affecting the environment of this area. It will probably snow here for several days in a row before it stops,” Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun smiled awkwardly. There was nothing she could do about it. It wasn't that she wanted to cause trouble, but unless she stopped refining medicine, causing trouble was inevitable.

"This two-pattern Ice Burst Pill should be enough to deal with Dao Palace cultivators. If the power is still not enough, then we can improve the quality." Ye Liuyun said with a smile, looking at the pill in his hand.

After saying that, Ye Liuyun prepared to go out and have some fun. She really liked the snowy weather. She lived alone in this place, which was also very big, so she could do whatever she wanted.

"Xiao Bai, Xiao Jin, let's go out and play in the snow," Ye Liuyun called out to Bai Lin and Jin Chen as she went out.

However, the two little ones were shivering from the cold and had no desire to go out, so they howled at Ye Liuyun a few times to indicate that they didn't want to go out.

"Huh? Is it that cold? None of you want to go out, but I don't feel cold at all. On the contrary, I feel refreshed," Ye Liuyun exclaimed.

"Are you stupid? After you cultivated the Glazed Jade Body, you became a Yin-cold constitution, so naturally you are not afraid of the cold," Lin Qingyou scolded.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun thought it made sense, so he ran out on his own. The snow on the ground was already three or four feet deep.

"Whoosh..." As soon as Ye Liuyun stepped out, he hopped out onto the snow and buried himself in it, rolling around in the snow as if he were having the most fun.

Lin Qingyou watched with a smile as Ye Liuyun played happily in the snow.

Ye Liuyun was overjoyed, but ninety-nine percent of the people in Yunzong were cursing. The cold made it impossible for them to cultivate in peace. Faced with this strange celestial phenomenon, they were like ordinary people. They had not experienced this kind of irresistible climatic power for many years, and they felt very helpless.

Under the influence of the cold air, the lake next to Ye Liuyun's residence quickly turned into an ice lake. Ye Liuyun changed into a pair of flat shoes and slid around on the lake. This kind of experience was not available in the Yunxia Sect. The residences in the Yunxia Sect were so small that it was impossible to play like this.

"Tch, having so much fun! Ugh! We're the ones suffering." Sun Dasheng rolled his eyes at Ye Liuyun skating on the lake.

"Awesome! If only I had roller skates. Wait, no, I'm a weapon refiner myself, I can just make a pair myself." With that thought, Ye Liuyun immediately ran to his pavilion, which he used specifically for weapon refining, changed his clothes, and began to forge roller skates.

This thing is very easy to make and doesn't take much time. Half an hour later, Ye Liuyun had made a pair of simple ice skates. She put on the ice skates and skated around the spirit peach tree, enjoying the experience to the fullest.

Another day passed, but for the people of Yunzong, each day felt like an eternity. Some disciples couldn't help but find an excuse to leave the sect, planning to return after the strange weather subsided.

The heavy snow and cold air continued to fall the next day, but the temperature gradually dropped. However, at noon, a sudden surge of high temperature swept in, and the snow in the entire Yunzong area melted rapidly, turning into a sky full of hot air.

Yunzong was once again enveloped in a thick layer of water vapor.

"Ah... Damn, the chill has finally disappeared, but why does it feel so hot?" Some disciples thought the cold was over and they were feeling comfortable, but before long, they were sweating profusely again.
