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

The restless onlookers quieted down after the music started.

"What a beautiful piece of music! Although I know that Senior Sister Tantai's zither playing is aggressive, I still can't help but listen to the whole thing." Some people closed their eyes to enjoy Tantai Mingyue's zither playing.

This piece of music seems to have a calming and soothing effect, similar to a lullaby.

"She's here, Tantai's Canghai Mingyue Qu. This girl seems gentle and weak, and her combat strength isn't the strongest among us, but in terms of how troublesome she is, she's definitely the most troublesome one among us," Jiang Yan said.

They must have all competed against each other, but the only one who could truly defeat her was Murong Huan.

Murong Huan and the others nodded in agreement. The reason they sent Tantai Mingyue up was to see if Lin Aoxue could break Tantai Mingyue's musical technique. If she could, it would mean that even they probably didn't have much hope of winning against Lin Aoxue.

When Tantai Mingyue is focused on playing the guqin, she doesn't move. To put it bluntly, she's a sitting duck. If she can break free from the music, then Tantai Mingyue has basically lost.

"How strange, this music can actually eliminate my fighting spirit, relax my mind, and make me feel like I don't want to fight." Lin Aoxue felt herself starting to feel sleepy.

Her body was very relaxed, and her eyelids became heavy. Of course, it wasn't just Lin Aoxue; all the cultivators around who heard the music had the same reaction. Some people could resist it for longer, while others couldn't resist it at all.

Lin Aoxue's body began to sway.

"Hehe, it seems that Lin Aoxue has already fallen into Mingyue's sonic attack. This sonic attack may not be very lethal, but in terms of troublesomeness, few methods can compare. Unless Lin Aoxue's soul is strong enough, she should be lying down soon." The peak master of Ziyun Peak said with a smile.

The others remained silent, patiently observing Lin Aoxue's reaction.

Lin Aoxue kept shaking her head. She wanted to attack, but she couldn't muster the energy. It was like having a stunningly beautiful woman lying naked next to her, but the man was completely unable to react.

"Damn it, I should have interrupted her the moment she started playing. This thing seems impossible to resist with magic power; I can only rely on willpower and soul power to withstand it. What a nuisance!" Lin Aoxue thought to herself, feeling a bit frantic.

Lin Aoxue struggled to move closer to Tantai Mingyue, each step painful and weak, her body limp and powerless.

A minute later, most of the disciples outside the arena had collapsed, falling into a deep sleep. Only a small number of disciples with strong willpower were still resisting.

Then there were some disciples who had plugged their ears beforehand, but they didn't fall down either. Simply plugging the ears can only reduce the power of sonic attacks, and cannot truly make them ignore.

Tantai Mingyue's song lasts four minutes. If her opponent doesn't fall within four minutes, then she will lose, because her magic power will be almost completely depleted after the song ends.

"This Lin Aoxue is no ordinary person; she shows no signs of collapsing yet." Murong Huan and the others relied on earplugs and their willpower, but they still kept their eyes fixed on Lin Aoxue.

Two minutes passed quickly, and Lin Aoxue still hadn't collapsed. Tantai Mingyue, who was sitting cross-legged in the air playing the guqin, frowned in confusion. Clearly, Lin Aoxue's ability to persist for so long was beyond her expectations.

But what happened next was even more unexpected.

"This is so annoying, stop it!" Lin Aoxue suddenly shouted angrily, and at the same time, white light flashed around her. The next moment, a phantom separated from Lin Aoxue's body and flew towards Tantai Mingyue with lightning speed.

This is Lin Aoxue's power of ascension.

The moment Lin Aoxue's ascension power arrived, a soul barrier lit up around Tantai Mingyue's body, clearly indicating that she was also on guard.

However, she underestimated Lin Aoxue's power of ascension.

This power of ascension easily pierced through Tantai Mingyue's soul barrier, passing right through her body, and her zither music came to an abrupt halt.

Tantai Mingyue groaned, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and slowly opened her closed eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she looked at Lin Aoxue in front of her with an incredulous expression.

"Such a powerful soul attack? It even pierced through my soul barrier?"

The people around were stunned when the music stopped; many didn't realize what had happened.

After all, Lin Aoxue was in a state of calming her mind and spirit, so how could she suddenly interrupt Tantai Mingyue's method?

They knew very well that if Tantai Mingyue's music stopped, it meant she had lost.

Tantai Mingyue's magical power was surging wildly, making it impossible for her to continue playing. This was the weakness of the musical arts; once interrupted, it would backfire on her.

She gradually descended from the sky and stood on the ground, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth.

Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the other party had stopped playing.

"Ah... I'm sorry, Senior Sister Tantai, I hurt you. I had no choice. Your methods are too difficult to deal with, so I had to use my best skills." Lin Aoxue walked over somewhat embarrassedly.

She had tried many methods, but none of them worked. She couldn't muster the will to fight at all, so she had no choice but to use her own abilities.

Her power to ascend to immortality is unaffected by any means; it can be achieved with a single thought.

In fact, Lin Aoxue's ability was just right to counter Tantai Mingyue's, because the music and rhythm method was most afraid of soul attacks and the like.

Most importantly, although Tantai Mingyue sensed Lin Aoxue's mental attack, she couldn't block it at all. It can only be said that Lin Aoxue's attack methods were stronger than her soul defense.

Blood kept spilling from the corner of Tantai Mingyue's mouth, and she could only sit down cross-legged on the spot. Her magical power was still surging wildly in her body and could not be suppressed for a while.

Chapter 276 Stealing the Prey

Seeing that Tantai Mingyue was suffering from the backlash, Lin Aoxue, for some reason, inexplicably helped her suppress her injuries.

It can only be said that Tantai Mingyue was born with a temperament and appearance that easily evokes pity and sympathy.

Tantai Mingyue was focused on suppressing the raging laws within her body and had no time to pay attention to Lin Aoxue, who had walked up to her.

"Hey! Senior Sister Tantai, eat this." Lin Aoxue took out a Rejuvenation Pill and put it into Tantai Mingyue's mouth.

Tantai Mingyue did not refuse Lin Aoxue's pills, after all, they had no enmity between them, and the other party would not feed her poison.

She swallowed the pill without hesitation, but as soon as it entered her stomach, Tantai Mingyue was stunned. The pill's effects were too strong, directly suppressing the surging magical power within her body with its powerful and domineering force.

The body, which had been damaged by the magic, was quickly restored.

"What kind of pill is this? How can it have such an effect?" Tantai Mingyue slowly opened her eyes and then glanced at Lin Aoxue standing in front of her.

But when she saw Lin Aoxue's aloof and proud face, her face inexplicably flushed, and she lowered her head.

"Alright, Senior Sister Tantai, your injuries should be healed by now." Lin Aoxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the magical power in the other woman's body was no longer running rampant.

A friendly spar is a friendly spar; she doesn't want anyone to get hurt because of it. If it were just her alone in the Cloud Sect, that would be fine.

However, she only came to Yunzong to cultivate. Once the Nanling Grand Gathering begins, if she is not noticed by the Taishang Ganying Sect, she will return directly to Yunxia Sect instead of Yunzong.

This was an agreement between Yunzong and Yunxiazong, and also an agreement with her, but Ye Liuyun was already a disciple of Yunzong, so naturally it was impossible for her to return to Yunxiazong.

"Thank you, Junior Sister. Your pills are really effective. Your methods are also quite unique. It seems that my cultivation is still insufficient. I need to find a way to make up for the shortcomings of my own methods when I get back," Tantai Mingyue said with a smile as she stood up.

"It just happens to be a method that counters Senior Sister's technique. Senior Sister doesn't need to worry about it. If I didn't have this method, I wouldn't be able to defeat you," Lin Aoxue replied.

Tantai Mingyue smiled noncommittally. She had a feeling that even if Lin Aoxue didn't use this soul attack method, she would still lose.

After saying this, Tantai took the guqin and leaped into the air.

"I'll have another chance to learn from my junior sister. I'll head back now." Tantai Mingyue said goodbye and left the Dao Discussion Platform.

Tantai Mingyue is a rather aloof and introverted person who rarely leaves Ziyun Peak. In fact, she is not a promising candidate for a sect. Due to her personality, she has no desire to compete with others. Her coming to cause trouble for Lin Aoxue this time was not her own choice.

She was dragged along by Murong Huan and others, and her master also wanted her to try out Lin Aoxue, so she came.

I never expected that my method would be cracked in just two minutes.

This was her most complete defeat, and one that was utterly insurmountable.

"Senior Sister Tantai lost? How could that be? How could she suddenly lose? Those of you who haven't fallen, explain this to us!" The disciples who had just woken up from their slumber immediately asked the others as they watched Tantai Mingyue fly away.

However, those who hadn't fallen had even more complicated expressions. They had clearly seen something fly out of Lin Aoxue's body and pierce through Tantai Mingyue's body.

"I don't know. Judging from the looks of it, it must be some kind of soul attack technique that interrupted Senior Sister Tantai's magic. The most vulnerable thing to the music magic is that kind of method that specifically attacks the soul." Someone said with a solemn expression.

Clearly, they also found this tactic troublesome; if it were used against you suddenly during a battle, you wouldn't be able to defend against it.

The secret technique of soul attack is very difficult to cultivate. There are very few people in the entire Yun Sect who know this method. Among their disciples, the only ones who know this method are Lin Aoxue and Murong Huan. Murong Huan is not a direct disciple, but he was able to become the chief disciple and a seed of the sect because of his soul talent.

He also defeated Tantai Mingyue using this method, but his soul attack technique was not as straightforward as Lin Aoxue's. He used the soul attack secret technique three times in a row before he defeated Tantai Mingyue.

Soul attack techniques are not without their costs; while harming the opponent, one's own soul power is also consumed, making it a case of killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of one's own.

Lin Aoxue watched Tantai Mingyue fly away, then turned her gaze back to Murong Huan and the others.

"Are there any other senior brothers or sisters who would like to offer their guidance?" Lin Aoxue asked.

This time, however, no one immediately stepped forward to fight. Lin Aoxue had already defeated two people quite easily, and knowing that Lin Aoxue possessed a secret technique for soul attacks, those among them with weak soul power naturally felt that they had little chance of winning in a battle against someone of the same realm, so they didn't intend to go up and invite trouble.

"This is troublesome. This woman can attack the soul. We're at the same cultivation level and can't use magic weapons, so we basically have no chance. Murong, I feel like you have to step in," Jiang Yan said to Murong Huan.

If it were a life-or-death battle with no restrictions, they wouldn't be afraid of Lin Aoxue. But the problem is, this is a friendly spar, and they can only rely on their own abilities to fight, so there's little hope of winning.

It would be truly shameful if they all lost, but Murong Huan clearly didn't want to go, so he remained hesitant.

It wasn't that he lacked confidence in himself, but rather that he was completely unfamiliar with Lin Aoxue and had no idea what methods she might use.

"I think you guys should go first, let me figure out her abilities first," Murong Huan said cautiously.

After he said that, everyone had no choice but to let the weaker ones go up and test Lin Aoxue again, so another disciple went up to fight Lin Aoxue.

Today, Lin Aoxue is destined to become famous in the Yun Sect.

As for Ye Liuyun, after searching around, she finally found the Blue-Armored Sand Crab at the Dao Palace realm. She found it on the eighth island, where the Blue-Armored Sand Crab was digging a hole.

"Hehe, after searching for so long, I've finally found you. This Blue-Armored Sand Crab is a real treasure." Without saying a word, Ye Liuyun swung the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron and launched a sneak attack from behind.

Although the Blue-Armored Sand Crab has a very hard shell, it can't possibly be harder than the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron. Before, it didn't have internal energy and relied purely on brute force to use the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron, which was no different from hitting someone with a stone. Now that it has internal energy to enhance its strength, its power is naturally incomparable.

"Bang!" Ye Liuyun's medicine cauldron made intimate contact with the shell of the blue-armored sand crab, and at that moment, an extremely crisp metallic clanging sound rang out.

Although the Blue Armored Sand Crab moves slowly, its defensive capabilities are astonishing, comparable to those of a mid-stage Dao Palace cultivator.

So this guy wasn't knocked unconscious, but was knocked back a distance and then suffered a concussion, while Ye Liuyun was thrown back by the impact.

"Damn! What a hard head! It actually withstood it?" Ye Liuyun was somewhat disappointed.

Even though it didn't faint, the blue-armored sand crab wasn't having an easy time. Its eyes were glowing with golden light, and it couldn't pinpoint Ye Liuyun's location at all. It could only swing its large pincers and smash wildly.

In this state, it would be difficult for him to accurately block Ye Liuyun's second attack.

Ye Liuyun chuckled, thinking that another blow should be enough to make him lie down.

But just as Ye Liuyun was about to make his move, a flying sword carrying a blue light shot rapidly from afar, piercing directly through the Blue Armored Sand Crab's mouth and killing it instantly.

This scene stunned Ye Liuyun.

She quickly turned around and looked behind her, only to see six disciples of Qingyun Peak floating behind her, both men and women.

"Oh my! This is great, fellow disciples! We've struck gold! This is a whole blue-armored sand crab at the early stage of the Dao Palace realm, enough to earn us millions of spirit stones!" The leading youth said with a smile to the others.

Everyone else laughed too.

These people seemed to completely ignore Ye Liuyun. Among the Dao Palace's demonic beasts, the Blue-Armored Sand Crab might not be the strongest, but its value was definitely among the highest.

Ye Liuyun's face darkened as he saw that these people were ignoring him.

"Damn it, I worked so hard to beat this guy senseless, and you guys jumped out to ambush him and take advantage of the situation. Is this how you treat me? Don't you think I'm human?" Ye Liuyun cursed inwardly, while also recalling what Xu Di and the others had said before they left not long ago.

Xu Di had told her to be careful of her fellow disciples stealing her prey.

In these places, the people you need to be most careful of are not outsiders, but your own sect members. Outsiders may not dare to touch your own disciples, but it's hard to say about other fellow disciples, who are purely driven by self-interest.

"Go, collect the Blue-Armored Sand Crabs," the leading male disciple of Qingyun Peak instructed one of his junior brothers.

The disciple nodded and flew towards the Blue Armored Sand Crab, ignoring Ye Liuyun who was standing nearby.

Ye Liuyun wouldn't be polite to this kind of guy.

Ye Liuyun leaped into the air and appeared in front of the first-level cultivator of the Qingyun Peak Dao Palace.

The man was stunned. Before he could react, Ye Liuyun slapped him hard across the face.

"Ouch!" the man cried out in pain, as he was slapped and sent flying more than ten meters away, landing in the lake.

All of this happened so suddenly that the disciples of Qingyun Peak were stunned on the spot.

They did see Ye Liuyun, but they didn't take him seriously at all. However, now they realized they might have been wrong. Could someone at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm really slap a Dao Palace Level 1 cultivator away?

"Hey! Fellow senior brothers and sisters of Qingyun Peak, you've gone a bit too far. I injured my prey, and you're here to pick up the scraps? Is there such a good thing in the world?" After swatting the guy away, Ye Liuyun landed in front of the Blue Armored Sand Crab, hands on her hips, and angrily questioned it.

Since arriving at Yunzong, Ye Liuyun has been ignored and looked down upon everywhere. He's had enough.

"You? A disciple of Caiyun Peak, merely at the Spirit Stream Realm, how dare you ambush a disciple of my Qingyun Peak?" The leading youth was stunned for a moment, then immediately became furious.

The guy who was slapped into the water quickly flew out of the water.

"Damn it, little girl, how dare you ambush me?" The young man who had been slapped rushed angrily toward Ye Liuyun.

He made a hand seal, and a flying sword shot out from its sheath behind him, transforming into a streak of light as it pierced towards Ye Liuyun.

Qingyun Peak's specialties are sword control techniques and various sword skills.

Chapter 277 Overpowering the Enemy

Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow as she watched a blazing sword hurtle toward her. She felt it necessary to teach this guy a more definite lesson.
