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

"Hey? Junior brother, um, hello there." Just as the two were talking, Ye Liuyun came up in front of them.

The two people who were talking suddenly saw a disciple of Caiyun Peak coming towards them and were stunned, especially after seeing the other person's appearance, they were completely dumbfounded.

Ye Liuyun was gazing at the two of them with a gentle expression. Her smile was incredibly approachable; it was safe to say that very few people could resist Ye Liuyun's smile.

"Eh? Senior sister from Caiyun Peak, what brings you here?" The two glanced at Ye Liuyun's attire and noticed that although her cultivation level was not high, she was wearing the robes of an inner disciple, so they immediately asked her politely.

"Oh, I am a newly initiated disciple of Caiyun Peak. My name is Ye Liuyu. I have come to pay my respects to your senior sister Ji Chunling of Leiyun Peak." Ye Liuyu introduced himself.

The two were initially amazed by Ye Liuyun's stunning beauty, but after hearing that the person in front of them was Ye Liuyu, who had moved into Bixia Valley, they were stunned for a long time.

"Oh, you're the new disciple who moved into Bixia Valley?" the two exclaimed in surprise.

Many people are still unaware of Ye Liuyun's specific situation; they have only heard about him. But now that they see Ye Liuyun is only at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm, weaker than them, they find it even more unbelievable.

"That...it seems to be me. Senior Sister Ji Chunling asked me to come and pay my respects to her, so I came," Ye Liuyun said weakly.

They definitely knew about this.

"Oh, then please wait a moment, Senior Sister. We'll inform our Eldest Senior Sister right away. We can't just enter and leave between peaks without permission; at the very least, we need permission from the inner disciples of our own peak." One of them immediately picked up the communication token to contact the disciple who could make the decision.

The other person observed Ye Liuyun with a curious expression. Ye Liuyun was leaning against the stone railing and waiting patiently.

"Damn it, I feel like these shoes are intentionally or unintentionally eroding my physical strength. They really are torture devices. After walking a few steps and turning around, my ankles start to hurt." Ye Liuyun moved his feet.

A moment later, a familiar face flew out of Lei Yunfeng's dojo. It was Kong Jie, who landed directly at the entrance.

"Senior Sister Kong." The two guarding disciples quickly bowed.

"Hmm, where is she?" Kong Jie asked.

One of the guards was about to point to the side when Ye Liuyun took the initiative to greet Kong Jie.

"Senior Sister Kong, I'm here." Ye Liuyun jumped down from the fence and slowly walked over.

Upon hearing the sound, Kong Jie immediately looked over. However, when she saw Ye Liuyun's cultivation level, her expression showed a slight surprise, because they had only heard that Ye Liuyun's cultivation level was only at the Spirit Stream Realm, and they had only seen a projection of him last time, not the real person.

Seeing the real person this time confirmed that the other party was indeed only at the Spirit Stream Realm. The fact that someone of such a level could live in Bixia Valley made her even more dissatisfied.

"I didn't expect that Junior Sister Ye would only have the cultivation of the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm. I'm very curious, which elder are you descended from that you can receive such preferential treatment from the sect?" Kong Jie's eyes clearly showed jealousy.

Anyone would be jealous if they encountered something like this.

They had worked hard for over a hundred years to achieve their current status as outer disciples, while this little girl, merely at the Spirit Stream Realm, had moved into Bixia Valley, a place they could never enter in their entire lives.

Therefore, Kong Jie instinctively regarded Ye Liuyun as someone who got in through connections, lacking ability and relying entirely on his background and status.

"Ah? This, Senior Sister, you misunderstand. I don't have any background. My sister was chosen by the sect, and then she brought me to the Cloud Sect as well," Ye Liuyun replied.

Kong Jie was stunned when she heard this. After thinking for a moment, she thought of a possibility: Bixia Valley might have been prepared for her younger sister, but the older sister was just staying in Bixia Valley as well. This would make sense, since the younger sister was a personal disciple from the start, and it was rumored that she had great talent.

"So that's how it is. It seems we were all wrong," Kong Jie murmured to herself.

"Come on, I'll take you to see our senior sister. You can think of it as paying your respects on behalf of your sister. Don't worry, our senior sister is just curious as to why the sect treats you two so well, and wouldn't bully a junior like you," Kong Jie gestured.

Indeed, they were all over a hundred years old, while the person in front of them looked less than fifty and had such poor cultivation. They didn't even have the desire to bully him.

Most strong people still have self-respect and have little interest in the weak.

"Oh." Ye Liuyun nodded obediently, then followed Kong Jie inside.

Kong Jie had only taken a few steps when she suddenly received some news and took to the air.

"Eh? Senior Sister Kong, I can't fly," Ye Liuyun quickly said.

Kong Jie rolled her eyes when she heard this, and then pointed to the tallest building on Thundercloud Peak, which was the Thunder Tower.

“Our senior sister is over at the Thunder Tower. I have other things to take care of. You can go there yourself. There are guards there. Explain your purpose to them, and they will take you to see our senior sister,” Kong Jie said.

After saying that, Kong Jie transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared. She was too busy to entertain Ye Liuyun today.

"Huh? How can this be? You called me over and then just left me here like this? Is this how you treat a guest?" Ye Liuyun really wanted to complain.

It can only be said that she is too weak, and others do not take her seriously.

"Little guy, you're feeling discouraged, aren't you? This is the consequence of being too weak. That's how it is in a world where the strong reign supreme. So, you should focus on cultivating. Immortality won't bring you any dignity," Lin Qingyou said, amused by Ye Liuyun's discomfiture.

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

Ye Liuyun sighed heavily, then estimated the distance between her location and the Thunder Tower; it was at least several kilometers away.

She looked at her feet with a frustrated expression.

"Ugh! It looks nice, but it's so uncomfortable and troublesome." Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and then swayed as he walked towards the Thunder Tower.

As for Ji Chunling, she had already received news of Ye Liuyun's arrival. What she cared about was not Ye Liuyun, a mere Spirit Stream Realm cultivator, but rather Ye Liuyun's younger sister.

The sudden arrival of a personal disciple, who received the best treatment in the entire sect, inevitably made them feel a sense of crisis.

"Tap tap tap..." The sound of walking in high heels is a tap tap tap sound. To be honest, Ye Liuyun doesn't like this sound. It's a bit noisy.

The Lei Yunfeng disciples you encounter on the road always turn heads.

"What a beautiful junior sister! A disciple of Caiyun Peak, what is she doing at our Leiyun Peak? And judging from her appearance, she seems very tired." A female disciple saw Ye Liuyun and observed her curiously.

"Hehe, I guess he's not used to those shoes. It's really strange. I've never seen such a weak inner disciple in the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm. He doesn't have enough magic power to support his flight and can only rely on walking. When I first wore these shoes, I also found them very torturous. Walking one mile felt more tiring than walking ten miles. These shoes are only good-looking and have no practical value at all."

Hearing the surrounding disciples pointing and whispering, Ye Liuyun knew that he must be in a very embarrassing and awkward situation.

About ten minutes later, Ye Liuyun finally arrived at the Thunder Tower area where Thunder Cloud Peak was located, looking quite uncomfortable.

"My god, why is Lei Yun Peak all steps?!" Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes. She suddenly admired those girls who wore high heels to go shopping in her previous life. Didn't they get tired?

Ye Liuyun stood still for a moment to adjust his state before strolling towards the entrance of the Thunder Tower.

"Halt! This is the Thunder Tower, a sacred place. No one other than a disciple of this sect is allowed to enter. Hey, junior sister, what's the matter?" The guard at the entrance of the Thunder Tower looked Ye Liuyun up and down and asked.

Ye Liuyun didn't have time to chat with them; he just wanted to finish meeting them and leave as soon as possible.

"Well, it's like this..." Ye Liuyun explained the situation.

When the two learned that Ye Liuyun was the female disciple who had moved into Bixia Valley, they were equally surprised and quickly informed Ji Chunling, who was on the top floor of the Thunder Tower.

Since outsiders are not allowed to enter the Thunder Tower, Ji Chunling had to come out herself.

A moment later, the door to the top-floor training room of the Thunder Tower suddenly opened, and a blue arc of electricity shot out from inside, flying out of the window and landing in front of Ye Liuyun at great speed.

"You're Ye Liuyu, the one who moved into Bixia Valley?"

Ye Liuyun didn't even react, then stared blankly at the very tall woman in front of him. She had a high ponytail and wore a disciple's uniform that was different from that of ordinary disciples. This woman was over 1.9 meters tall, and Ye Liuyun looked like a child standing in front of her.

This woman is Ji Chunling, a very proud and aloof woman whose personality is quite unlike that of a typical girl. She mainly cultivates lightning-based magic, and it is a magic that leans towards body cultivation.

"Wow? What a tall woman!" Ye Liuyun had to look up to see the woman's face.

Ye Liuyun is nearly 1.7 meters tall, which she considers quite tall for a woman, but compared to the woman in front of her, she is nothing.

"Why aren't you saying anything? I'm asking you a question," Ji Chunling asked, squinting her eyes.

Ye Liuyun only came to his senses after hearing the voice.

"Um, Senior Sister Ji, I'm Ye Liuyu. Didn't you send someone to pay me a visit to Thundercloud Peak a few days ago? That's why I'm here on time today," Ye Liuyu said quickly.

Ji Chunling is a peak cultivator of the Dao Palace, and in fact, she might be even stronger than Yunyan of the Yunxia Sect.

Because her talent is better than Yunyan's, she is nearly two hundred years younger than Yunyan, has a single lightning spirit root, and is also a special lightning attribute physique, the lightning spirit body. It is said that Ji Chunling was struck by lightning when she was very young, but she did not die, and then awakened the lightning spirit body.

This lightning spirit body isn't a particularly powerful physique, but it makes cultivating lightning-attribute techniques twice as effective.

"Yes, I did want to meet you, but I didn't expect you to be so young and your cultivation level doesn't seem to be very high. It's hard to understand why the sect arranged for you to live in Bixia Valley. Is it related to your disciple's sister?" Ji Chunling asked, squinting her eyes.

The woman exuded a strong sense of oppression with every word and action, and coupled with her height, Ye Liuyun found it even more overwhelming.

"Well, I guess so. Doesn't Senior Sister Ji know the specific reasons why the sect did this?" Ye Liuyun asked awkwardly.

“The sect will indeed face trouble in the future, but that’s a matter for the future. I roughly guess that the sect brought your sister here to prepare for the Nanling Grand Gathering, right?” Ji Chunling guessed.

They are, after all, the most important disciples of the sect. There are some things that Yun Sect will not hide from them, but they will not say it outright. After all, they will also participate in the Nanling Grand Gathering this time. But if the sect suddenly finds an outsider to represent Yun Sect in the Nanling Grand Gathering, doesn't that mean they think they cannot stand out in this conference?

How could Yun Zong possibly explain such a thing openly? So he could only let the disciples of the sect figure it out and understand it for themselves.

"Eh? Senior Sister Ji, you guessed correctly. It is indeed the case. The sect needs my sister to participate in the Southern Ridge Gathering, so they are giving me preferential treatment." Since the other party had already guessed, there was no need to hide anything.

After receiving confirmation from Ye Liuyun, Ji Chunling suddenly became very curious about Lin Aoxue.

According to her investigation, Lin Aoxue was only at the Spirit Pattern Realm, but for a sect to value someone at the Spirit Pattern Realm so highly meant that she was definitely not just a simple Spirit Pattern Realm cultivator, but must have some special qualities.

"Does your sister have a special constitution?" Ji Chunling asked.

Ye Liuyun could not answer this question.

"Huh? This special physique? What is that?" Ye Liuyun asked, feigning ignorance.

When Ji Chunling saw Ye Liuyun's expression, she was stunned again.

"Strange, didn't this little girl's younger sister tell her about her physical condition? Wait, they don't seem to have the same surname, so they shouldn't be biological sisters. If that's the case, then it's a different story." Ji Chunling made a rough guess in her mind.

Ji Chunling simply wanted to confirm her guess, but judging from Ye Liuyun's answer, her guess was probably 90% correct.

Chapter 263 Cultivation Again (4000 words, 400 monthly votes bonus chapter)

In other words, if you want to find out what's going on, you definitely won't get anything from Ye Liuyun; you can only ask Lin Aoxue herself or someone in the know.

However, in reality, neither the higher-ups of the Yun Sect nor the Yunxia Sect knew what kind of physique Lin Aoxue possessed. The Yunxia Sect only told the Yun Sect that Lin Aoxue should have a very strong and rare physique.

"Go back, it's alright now, I think I understand." After figuring things out, Ji Chunling gestured for Ye Liuyun to go back.

After hearing this, Ye Liuyun finally felt relieved. She bowed to Ji Chunling and then turned to go back. However, her unsteady gait left Ji Chunling speechless.

So he flew over and grabbed Ye Liuyun with his strength.

"Eh? Senior Sister Ji, what's going on?" Ye Liuyun was startled.

"I'll see you off. With such low cultivation, it's indeed difficult for you to handle these shoes. I don't want people to say I'm bullying my fellow disciple who's just a newcomer." Ji Chunling said calmly, then grabbed Ye Liuyun and transformed into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from the spot.

A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, finally appearing at the entrance of Bixia Valley like a thunderbolt from the heavens.

"We've arrived. The sect has been very busy lately. I heard you're going to Qingyun Peak to see Meng Chuan tomorrow, but I think it's better to skip it. I'll tell them what they want to know, so you won't have to run around. Goodbye." Ji Chunling put Ye Liuyun down, left these words, and then disappeared.

This woman is truly elusive, appearing and disappearing without a trace, leaving no room for hesitation.

"What a cool woman! She's comparable to Ao Xue." Ye Liuyun didn't even have time to react before she returned, which shows just how fast Ji Chunling was.

I initially thought Ji Chunling would be difficult to deal with, but now I see that she is a straightforward person, so I didn't make things difficult for her.

If they could also exempt her from the trip to Qingyun Peak, that would be even better. She really doesn't want to walk a long way in these shoes. What's the difference between that and being detained?

Ye Liuyun summoned Liusu again and flew into Bixia Valley on Liusu. She really didn't want to walk anymore. She had to wear this thing every time she went out. She might as well stay in the valley. But Ye Liuyun also knew very well that she couldn't stay in the valley forever, so she would have to get used to these shoes slowly.

When a habit becomes second nature, it doesn't matter anymore. That's how the human body works; many things that were originally uncomfortable become less uncomfortable over time.

As for Ji Chunling, after she returned, she immediately used her communication token to send a message to those in the sect who were curious about Lin Aoxue's identity, especially Meng Chuan from Qingyun Peak.

These high-ranking sect members were furious when they learned that Lin Aoxue was indeed the person their sect had sent to attend the Nanling Grand Gathering.

Especially Jiang Yan, the direct disciple of Huo Yunfeng, was the first to get angry. People who cultivate fire-attribute techniques are short-tempered and cannot tolerate things that make them angry.

Jiang Yan was a burly man with a wild temperament. His hairstyle resembled that of a Super Saiyan from the manga Dragon Ball, and he looked like someone you didn't want to mess with.

The residence of the Fire Cloud Peak Master

"Master, Master, where are you? Your disciple needs to talk to you." As soon as Jiang Yan entered the residence of the Fire Cloud Peak Master, he shouted loudly.

Just as he finished shouting, a burst of fire shot out from a certain pavilion, and then, to Jiang Yan's bewildered expression, a small fist engulfed in flames slammed heavily into Jiang Yan's face.

This punch sent Jiang Yan flying. He crashed through the wall and rolled several kilometers before flying into a distant mountain. He remained embedded in the mountain for a long time without being able to climb out.

"You brat, have no manners at all? Just because I've become a woman doesn't mean I've become less temperamental! Let me tell you, you're out of luck, I'm just in a bad mood." A girl in a fiery red dress clenched her fists and angrily cursed at the hollow human-shaped figure on the wall.

This young girl is none other than Chi Yan, the peak master of Fire Cloud Peak, though she has now changed her name to Fire Spirit.

To be honest, Huo Ling used to be a very manly and rough man, but after being gender-swapped in the Black Wind Mountains, she became a girl. As for the clothes she was wearing, she changed them to comply with the sect's requirements. They were too embarrassing, and she didn't want to see anyone during this time.

"Ouch, it's broken, it's broken. At least three ribs are broken. That's too cruel. I only shouted a few words, why did he use such heavy methods? Damn old man." Jiang Yan struggled to climb out of the mountain and then returned to Huo Ling's residence.

However, Jiang Yan already knew that his master had a bad temper, so it was better to be honest.

"Disciple Jiang Yan requests an audience with Master." Jiang Yan peeked secretly at the door before bowing respectfully.

"Get in here," Fire Spirit said unhappily.

After receiving his master's orders, Jiang Yan went inside and finally saw Huo Ling sitting barefoot by the pool in the inner courtyard, playing in the water.

"Hey? Master? What the heck is this outfit of yours?" Jiang Yan almost choked on his own saliva when he saw his master dressed as a girl in a bright red dress.
