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

"Hey! Don't you have any spirit fruits in my Bixia Valley? Why don't you go find them yourself? I've raised you for so long, and you're so stingy?" Ye Liuyun immediately stood up, hands on his hips, and said unhappily.

But Sun Wukong was not happy about it.

"What? Where are the spiritual fruits in this valley? There are quite a few peach and fruit trees, but the problem is, is this the season for them to bear fruit? I've been eating fish from this lake to fill my stomach lately. This godforsaken place doesn't even have as many wild fruits as the Cloud Mist Sect," Sun Dasheng complained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun thought about it and realized that it did indeed make sense.

"Well, alright, alright, I'll give it a try and see if I can use my medicine to make these fruit trees grow faster." Ye Liuyun knew that if he wanted to get benefits from this monkey, he would have to pay a price.

Perfect timing! Doesn't she have some elixirs that promote plant growth? She can just dissolve them in water and then water the fruit trees with them.

Ye Liuyun acted immediately. She found a bucket, then added the fertility-promoting pill to it, and finally carried the bucket to the ground under a nearby fruit tree.

Sun Wukong followed.

"These are fruit trees, aren't they?" Ye Liuyun asked.

Sun Wukong nodded.

Upon seeing this, Ye Liuyun immediately poured the bucket of medicinal liquid onto the fruit tree. As the fruit tree absorbed the liquid, it began to grow larger, and its canopy changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. The flowers on the tree began to fall, and small fruits began to grow.

However, this medicine has a strong aftereffect; it will probably make this tree flower and bear fruit several times over.

As the fruit on the tree ripened, it fell one by one. Sun Wukong quickly picked up a fruit, ate it, and was filled with happiness.

Most importantly, this fruit tree has grown at least three years in one go, so it has dropped three rounds of fruit, and the ground under the tree is full of fruit that has naturally fallen from the tree.

"Mmm...delicious. At least I don't have to eat those fish anymore." Sun Wukong picked up the fruit and ate it one after another. It can only be said that a monkey is still a monkey. Compared to fish, he would rather eat fruit.

Ye Liuyun looked at Sun Dasheng, who was as happy as a child, and asked with a smile.

"Is that enough? When are you going to teach me body-refining techniques?"

"Don't rush, I'll tell you after I've eaten my fill. Don't worry, I'm a man of my word." Sun Wukong ate like a starving ghost reincarnated, and soon the area under the fruit tree was full of fruit pits he spat out.

Ye Liuyun could only wait patiently. About half an hour later, the monkey, having eaten his fill, lay down on the grass.

"Ah! That's great, I'm full. Now it's time to sleep." After saying that, Sun Wukong was about to go to sleep.

But Ye Liuyun didn't have the patience to wait for her to wake up.

Ye Liuyun's face darkened, and he directly grabbed Sun Dasheng's tail and lifted him up.

"You stinky monkey, are you itching for a beating? I don't have that much time to waste. I'm warning you, hurry up and teach me the Body Refining Technique, or you'll face the consequences," Ye Liuyun said angrily.

After saying that, Ye Liuyun gave Sun Wukong a shake.

"Hey? I'm going to throw up, I'm going to throw up! Put me down, and I'll teach you!" Sun Wukong covered his mouth with both hands to prevent himself from spitting out the fruit he had eaten. If he did, wouldn't it have been a waste of his time?

Ye Liuyun knew that he couldn't be too nice to this brat; if he was too nice to him, he would take advantage of his kindness.

A moment later, under the spirit peach tree, Ye Liuyun and Sun Wukong sat quietly in meditation.

"Calm your mind completely and feel the energy flowing through your body. Remember, it's not spiritual energy, but the power hidden in your body. You must learn to mobilize this energy, and then use your power to control the energy, allowing it to flow through all the meridians in your body..." Sun Wukong taught as he spoke.

This cultivation method is similar to conventional immortal cultivation, but there are also significant differences. Immortal cultivators gather their Qi by absorbing spiritual energy from the outside world into their bodies, and they can clearly feel a stream of Qi entering their bodies.

However, the method of gathering qi that Sun Wukong taught Ye Liuyun was to extract qi from his own body. Sun Wukong called it internal force. Internal force is different from spiritual energy. This thing is a power that is completely generated from the body.

This power cannot be mobilized without a method; you cannot even sense its existence.

However, under Sun Wukong's guidance, Ye Liuyun soon felt a heat that spread from her dantian and began to circulate throughout her body.

This force was strange, like a slippery loach darting around inside Ye Liuyun's body, making him feel itchy inside.

"It's so itchy, monkey. Is that mudfish wriggling around inside me what you call internal energy?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Hmm, not bad, you have a lot of talent. Grab him and make this internal energy flow according to your will, that's considered entering the first stage." Sun Dasheng looked at Ye Liuyun with some surprise.

He hadn't expected Ye Liuyun to sense the internal energy so quickly. It could only be said that Ye Liuyun was indeed very suitable to be a body cultivator.

Following Sun Dasheng's instructions, Ye Liuyun began to use her mind to chase this internal force. It felt a bit like a policeman catching a criminal. This internal force was truly all-pervasive, causing her body to become hot and red. This was a case of "internal force causing a stitch in the back." If internal force is not controlled for a long time, it will cause a stitch in the back.

"Damn it, you little bitch, don't run away, I'm going to catch you!" Ye Liuyun thought angrily.

As soon as Sun Wukong saw Ye Liuyun's expression, he knew that Ye Liuyun was communicating with this internal energy.

"Hey! You've basically got the basics down. Whether you can control this internal energy now depends on your skill." Sun Wukong stood up, stretched, and said.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun was actually fighting against himself.

It was only seen in the world of thoughts.

Ye Liuyun, who looks mischievous and like a delinquent girl, is speeding along a motorcycle through the complicated city streets.

A police car was chasing after her.

"Hahaha...you stinky woman, you can't catch me." This mischievous Ye Liuyun kept provoking Ye Liuyun behind the police car. This mischievous Ye Liuyun was just a troublemaking criminal.

"You little bitch, don't be so arrogant. Once I catch you, you'll know you're wrong," Ye Liuyun said angrily.

This is actually a depiction of Ye Liuyun's battle against that unruly internal force.

Internal energy cannot attack the physical body, but it is also very difficult to tame. If spiritual energy is a gentle little girl and magic power is a mature older sister, then internal energy is a completely disobedient delinquent girl who can only be controlled by force.

"Okay, okay, you can't catch me." The internal force ignored traffic rules and acted recklessly, either squeezing into alleys or climbing over walls. The other party seemed to understand this body's structure better than thought.

"No, this thing is too slippery. I need to find a way to control her." Ye Liuyun's thoughts followed her for a while, and then he began to anxiously think of a solution.

After thinking for a while, she could only call for backup. Her police car couldn't get into the interchanges and alleys, and she couldn't catch up with the other person on foot.

"Calling for backup, this is Mind One. The criminals are fleeing everywhere on motorcycles. I can't handle them alone. Requesting headquarters to send reinforcements to intercept them at key points." Ye Liuyun's mind picked up the walkie-talkie and called out.

Soon, there was a response on the walkie-talkie.

"Mindset Number Two received."

"Mind Number Three received."

……

With the constant mental responses of her companions, Ye Liuyun was soon spotted riding a police motorcycle, looking dashing, as she entered the alley. She quickly discovered the internal energy.

"Stop! You have nowhere to run!" the motorcyclist shouted.

Hearing the sound, Nei Li was so frightened that she hurriedly sped away, but just as she was about to leave the alley, another telepathic policeman appeared on the other side of the exit.

"This road is blocked," the mental policeman said in a deep voice.

The internal force immediately turned around and rushed into another alley, but it was blocked several times. In the end, the internal force's will was surrounded.

"Ah... I surrender, please don't hit me, Sister Mind." Having exhausted all her internal energy, she could only stop and surrender with both hands.

With a thought, Ye immediately stepped forward and handcuffed the internal force.

"Report, the criminal has been arrested," the mind police officer reported to headquarters.

Looking outside, as Ye Liuyun's mind grasped the chaotic internal energy, his body, which was filled with heat, began to return to normal.

Chapter 265 Ancient Legends (5000 words)

"Phew... I finally caught him. Is this what internal energy is?" Ye Liuyun opened his eyes, raised his right hand, and a surge of energy immediately flowed from his dantian into his right hand.

She felt a strange swelling in her right hand, as if something was about to burst out of her arm.

Ye Liuyun let his inner energy stay in his right hand for a while, and then he moved his inner energy to his feet. He felt a similar sensation in his feet as in his right hand, as if a force was about to burst out of his body.

This feeling compelled Ye Liuyun to want to jump up. Sure enough, Ye Liuyun leaped into the air, his entire body soaring over a hundred meters high like a rocket.

"What? What the hell?" Ye Liuyun was stunned to see how high she had jumped. She used to jump only a dozen meters at most, but this time she jumped nearly a hundred meters high.

After jumping up, the person started to fall again, since it wasn't flying.

As she fell, Ye Liuyun felt a surge of energy rising within her body. She instinctively took a deep breath, which seemed to make her body incredibly light. She landed right at the top of a tree canopy, but strangely, she didn't fall.

Instead, it used the support of the branches to stay on the tree crown.

"Not bad, not bad. She used her luck to take off. This little girl is really talented. I haven't even taught her how to control her internal energy properly yet, but she's already figured it out on her own," Sun Dasheng muttered with interest.

Ye Liuyun felt great at that moment. She felt as light as a feather, as if even a leaf could support her weight.

This was actually internal energy rising upwards, indirectly reducing Ye Liuyun's weight. Ye Liuyun had cultivated his body for many years, and his internal energy was very strong. This was the lightness skill of a worldly martial artist.

Lightness skill is different from cultivators' flight. Lightness skill requires the use of force to fly, while cultivators fly by soaring through the air, enveloping themselves in spiritual energy, and freely traversing between heaven and earth.

The highest level of martial arts is to walk in the air. The two may seem similar, but they are actually very different.

Ye Liuyun lightly pushed off the branch and flew towards the canopy next to her, then ran around in the air above the canopy.

"Hahaha, I can fly now!" Ye Liuyun screamed excitedly.

Lin Qingyou had been observing Ye Liuyun's situation. She could tell that this was not flying at all, but at most it was similar to using a lightness pill to greatly reduce one's body weight, thereby using the force to lift off into the air.

However, this was already quite good for someone like Ye Liuyun who couldn't fly using spiritual power. Ye Liuyun felt that the power in his body was almost inexhaustible, and his inner strength kept surging out from his dantian. Unfortunately, this power could only be used on himself and could not be released outward like a cultivator.

Because internal energy and spiritual energy are completely different things, it is impossible to use internal energy to perform the methods cultivated by immortal cultivators.

Furthermore, Ye Liuyun is now in a state of greater freedom than if he had taken the Lightness Pill and the Wind Control Pill.

After flying for a while, Ye Liuyun landed on a rock, then gathered his power in his right hand and slammed his palm down on the rock, which weighed hundreds of thousands of kilograms.

"Bang!" The palm struck the stone, and a crack spread from Ye Liuyun's palm toward the boulder, eventually shattering it into countless small pieces.

That palm strike had the force of hundreds of thousands of pounds! Of course, Ye Liuyun already possessed the physical strength of the Spirit Sea Realm, so shattering such a rock was no problem for him.

The problem is that in the past, it would never have been so easy, and it would have been impossible to smash a stone to pieces; at most, it would have just broken into a few pieces.

"This little girl has cultivated her body for so many years, and she actually possesses so much internal energy. She is indeed a promising candidate for achieving sainthood through physical cultivation," Sun Dasheng exclaimed.

Ye Liuyun smiled. It was indeed a light palm strike that could split mountains and shatter rocks. Moreover, she could feel that she had used less than 30% of her strength.

She roughly estimated that even a stone weighing a million pounds could be shattered by her full-force strike.

"The tricks this monkey taught me are really good."

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and gradually returned his inner energy to his dantian. After the inner energy returned to his dantian, the feeling of expansion disappeared, and his body returned to normal.

"Haha, monkey, what you taught me is really useful! I feel that my strength is at least three or four times stronger than before," Ye Liuyun said happily.

“You used to only use brute force, and you reached the Spirit Sea level with brute force. Now that you are using internal energy, you should be able to rival the Spirit Pattern Realm,” Sun Dasheng said.

Ye Liuyun felt the same way. If she took some pills like the Vajra Pill to help her, her power might be able to threaten the Dao Palace.

This feeling was truly exhilarating, and Ye Liuyun's desire to cultivate was rekindled. As long as her inner strength grew stronger and more abundant, she could accomplish anything that cultivators could do.

"To maximize the power of your internal energy, you need to master a weapon. Little girl, which weapon do you like?" Sun Dasheng asked.

Without a second thought, Ye Liuyun reached out and summoned the Blue Rose Sword into her hand.

"Is there even a question? It's definitely a sword." Ye Liuyun swung his sword a few times, stirring up the air currents in the air.

This strange feeling stunned Ye Liuyun again. She swung her sword a few more times, feeling as if her sword was moving something, a feeling she had never experienced before.

This feeling is similar to the physical body communicating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but it's also different.

"Hehe, you felt it, didn't you? This is because after you controlled your internal energy, the energy inside your body collided with the energy outside. Even without circulating your energy, you can still sense the existence of this energy between heaven and earth."

“Of course, this is actually the airflow in space. The world we live in is always filled with airflow. This air is not spiritual energy. Internal force can move the air, while cultivators control spiritual energy.” Sun Dasheng knew that Ye Liuyun had noticed something as soon as he saw Ye Liuyun’s reaction.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then channeled his inner energy again, releasing it. He then swung his sword sharply, the Blue Rose Sword in his hand making a whooshing sound as it flashed past the flowers and grass on the ground. Strangely, Ye Liuyun did not touch the flowers and grass, but they were still neatly cut down.

"What? What's going on?" Ye Liuyun exclaimed.

This is somewhat like a cultivator releasing their spiritual power, but she didn't release any spiritual power at all.

"This is the internal energy within your body, which drives the surrounding airflow. The internal energy compresses the airflow, causing it to spread out, thus achieving the ability to injure people from a distance," Sun Dasheng explained.

Ye Liuyun seemed to understand immediately.

"Oh, I see. Isn't this just sword energy? Is it the same principle as the sword energy of those sword cultivators?" Ye Liuyun asked.

“The same principle? You’re overthinking it. The sword energy released by cultivators who cultivate spiritual power is all in the form of spiritual power. Only a few people can comprehend sword intent and use spiritual power to drive the flow of energy to generate sword energy. In fact, cultivators with lower cultivation levels are more likely to comprehend sword intent. Once the cultivation level is high, it becomes difficult to distinguish between spiritual energy and the flow of energy. That’s why there are very few sword cultivators among immortal cultivators,” Sun Dasheng explained.

Ye Liuyun nodded. What Sun Wukong said seemed to make a lot of sense, and even if she couldn't explain it clearly, she could understand it.

No wonder Sun Wukong had Ye Liuyun specialize in a weapon, allowing him to attach his internal energy to the weapon and thus achieve the level of internal energy leaving the body. Of course, this is just one explanation; internal energy cannot leave the body, but it can be attached to an object. Normally, including hands and feet, the attack range of a body cultivator is only about one meter at most.

However, if weapons are added, the attack can be extended depending on the length of the weapon and the amount of internal energy one possesses.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Liuyun flipped her hand, and a light blue silk ribbon appeared in her palm, which was the same as the shawl on her disciple's robe.

As soon as Ye Liuyun grasped the wedding robe, his inner strength immediately adhered to it. It felt as if the robe had become one with his body. Ye Liuyun took a deep breath, controlled the robe, and struck the water.

The embroidered robe shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

"Boom!" Waves more than ten meters high immediately surged up on the lake surface.
