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

“Lin Aoxue, as the sect leader’s personal disciple, even if there was a misunderstanding today, you were still too reckless. The entire sect saw you pointing your sword at your master, and we need to give an explanation to all the disciples. After discussion, we have decided to punish you by confining you in Wind Sword Valley for three months. Do you think this is meaningful?” Yun Ling said.

Wind Sword Valley is a forbidden area of ​​the Cloud Mist Sect, but it is also a place where disciples are punished and tested.

The area is constantly buffeted by fierce winds, which are painful to the touch but not fatal. If used properly, it can be a sacred place for cultivation.

"Disciple accepts the punishment." Lin Aoxue did not try to bargain.

"That's good. I hope you remember what happened today and don't make the same mistake again. Otherwise, even if the sect leader protects you, it won't work," Yun Ling said seriously.

Thus, the punishment for Lin Aoxue was decided, and the entire clan was notified the next morning.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately became worried.

"Master, do you think Aoxue will be in danger?" Ye Liuyun had just come out of the living quarters of the introductory disciples. They were about to move to the living quarters of the outer disciples, which were only for introductory disciples.

"Don't worry, this little girl is the precious darling of the Yunxia Sect. How could we let her be in any danger? But she'll definitely suffer a bit," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun sighed slightly. Ye Liuyun and the others needed to go to the Affairs Pavilion to upgrade their disciple status first.

When Ye Liuyun came out of the affairs pavilion again, she had changed into a white dress with blue patterns. From this time on, she was dressed as an adult.

However, Ye Liuyun suddenly felt that the clothes worn by the beginner disciples were more suitable for movement.

Chapter 36 The Gale is Like a Knife

The outer sect junior disciple's attire is beautiful, but Ye Liuyun needs some time to get used to it; as mentioned before, the skirt is too long.

Because this world is similar to the ancient Earth of Ye Liuyun's previous life, adult women, whether in the secular world or the cultivation world, wear skirts that are long enough to cover their feet.

If you're not careful, you can easily step on your skirt and fall flat on your face.

"Damn it! I finally got used to my old outfit, and now I have to get used to this one all over again." Ye Liuyun walked out of the office with her long skirt, feeling a little awkward.

Although she is no longer as resistant to women's clothing as before, this different life from that of men seems to be a constant reminder to her.

Remind her that you've gone too far down the path of womanhood, and whether you can ever come back.

Last time, when she escaped from home dressed as a maid, Ye Liuyun had already experienced firsthand how unsuitable such a long dress was for movement.

"Eh? Miss Ye, what's wrong?" Just as Ye Liuyun was standing at the entrance of the Affairs Pavilion worrying about her outfit, an acquaintance happened to walk out of the Affairs Pavilion.

It was Xiao Hansheng, who was already a junior disciple of the inner sect.

"Oh, Brother Xiao, congratulations on your promotion to inner sect," Ye Liuyun said immediately upon seeing Xiao Hansheng.

"It was just luck. By the way, Miss Ye, where have you been these past few years? I thought something had happened to you," Xiao Hansheng asked.

Ye Liuyun smiled slightly and then recounted his arduous training in the back mountain, omitting the part about refining medicine in the alchemy pavilion.

When Xiao Hansheng heard Ye Liuyun say this, he did not ask any further questions. This Xiao Hansheng had an extraordinary demeanor and a great family style. It was obvious at a glance that he should be a scion of a prominent family in the Tang Kingdom.

Such people are very good at handling interpersonal relationships.

"I see. Alright, then I'll head to the inner sect to report for duty. We can chat again another time," Xiao Hansheng said with a smile.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then watched Xiao Hansheng leave. After Xiao Hansheng left, Ye Liuyun turned his attention to the other female disciples.

She can't act too strangely. She can't just keep carrying her skirt with both hands wherever she goes. That would just be asking for trouble.

"Hey! Master, could you teach me some manners?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

The male disciples' clothes, although the skirts are also long, are definitely not as long as the female disciples' clothes; the men's skirts reach to the ankles.

Ultimately, this world cannot be viewed through the lens of civilizational thought from that era on Earth. This is a feudal civilization where men and women are not equal.

Even in cultivation sects, where male and female disciples seem to be treated the same, and it's all about aptitude and strength, in reality, you can see from the rules and regulations that they still can't escape the constraints of worldly views.

"I told you last time, as long as you can't turn back into a man, you have to adapt to a woman's lifestyle, otherwise you'll be the one who suffers. Did my words come true?" Lin Qingyou teased.

Ye Liuyun didn't want to be treated as an oddball, so she could only slowly adapt. After saying that, she walked towards her new residence.

However, she made a fool of herself as soon as she lifted her foot, stepping on her clothes and almost falling. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, reaching out to support herself on the ground and standing up.

However, her large-scale actions still attracted the attention of passing disciples.

"Hey! Slow down your steps, relax your body, don't be so stiff..." Lin Qingyou began to instruct Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun reluctantly followed Lin Qingyou's instructions, but being used to the more free way of walking, suddenly having to tighten his movements was definitely very uncomfortable.

It's like someone who speaks very fast; if you suddenly ask them to speak slower, they'll feel very tired. Ye Liuyun felt the same way at that moment.

Walking is more tiring than climbing mountains.

Ye Liuyun quickly arrived at the area where the outer sect female disciples lived. After becoming a formal disciple, male and female disciples lived separately.

"This? Does this mean I'm going to start living with the female disciples? Sigh!" Ye Liuyun looked at the female disciples' living area coming and going, feeling slightly uneasy.

After all, she used to be a man. Suddenly having to live with a group of women, Ye Liuyun didn't know whether it would be a good thing or a trouble for her.

Anyway, she felt that she was getting further and further away from a man's life.

Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and then walked over. In fact, this new residence was similar to the area where the new disciples lived, except that this mountain was much larger.

Moreover, the disciples did not live in cave dwellings, but in individual pavilions. The mountain was covered with flowers and plants, as well as various kinds of trees in full bloom. It was very beautiful, like a fairy mountain.

There aren't as many flowers and plants where the male disciples live; there's more bamboo there.

The ratio of female to male disciples in the Yunxia Sect is approximately three to seven, meaning that there are less than half as many female disciples as male disciples.

This is normal, because in the secular world, most families and forces are quite opposed to women cultivating. The reason is simple: women bear the responsibility of procreation. If they all go to cultivate, how can a country increase its population?

In addition, most cultivation sects prohibit their disciples from falling in love, as the seven emotions and six desires are things that cultivators need to overcome.

If one does not overcome the seven emotions and six desires, then the seven emotions and six desires will become obstacles on the path of cultivation.

"This place is nice, and there aren't any strange looks from others." Ye Liuyun took a deep breath. There were many flowers and plants here, so the air was filled with their fragrance.

She took out a map of the outer sect female disciples' living area and glanced at it. It marked the location of all the residences. Ye Liuyun's residence was number 196. There were only two hundred residences in total.

After confirming the location, Ye Liuyun walked over with a smile and finally arrived at his private courtyard.

"Oh my, this is more like a place for people to live. The place where the new disciple lived before was like a place for savages." Ye Liuyun said with a smile as he looked at the exquisite courtyard protected by the formation.

Ye Liuyun used his identity token to open the protective array around his residence and then went inside. The place was spacious enough and the environment was nice, which naturally put him in a good mood.

Looking at Lin Aoxue again, Lin Aoxue had already been sent to the entrance of Wind Sword Valley by Yun Yun. Before she even entered, she sensed a strong storm emanating from the canyon ahead.

“Aoxue, although Wind Sword Valley is a place to punish disciples, it is also a very suitable area for cultivation. You yourself have a pure wind spirit root, so this place is a sacred place for cultivation for you,” Yun Yun said with a smile.

"Okay, Master, I'm off then." Lin Aoxue smiled fearlessly and flew into the canyon.

The storm here was not enough to stop Lin Aoxue; the gale-force winds in the valley were the real trouble.

Yun Yun watched as Lin Aoxue disappeared into the valley and then muttered something to herself.

"Little girl, don't let your teacher down. I hope you can shoulder the responsibilities of the Yunxia Sect." Yun Yun said before turning and leaving.

As for Lin Aoxue, who entered Wind Sword Valley, she soon encountered trouble. As soon as she flew in, she felt as if something was attacking her from all around.

It was a strange wind. Lin Aoxue immediately took defensive measures. When the strange wind blew against her, it felt like being cut by a knife, constantly eroding her strength.

"Is this what they call a gale like a knife?" Lin Aoxue sliced ​​through a gale with her sword, but the gale here was endless, and it was difficult to resist it with brute force.

Chapter 37 Thunder from the Nine Heavens

The whirlwinds, sharp as knives, came wave after wave, and Lin Aoxue, who had initially been handling them with relative ease, soon found herself struggling to cope.

"Damn it, my power is being used up so quickly." Lin Aoxue cursed under her breath, then took out a large bottle of pills from her storage ring.

This was given to Lin Aoxue by Ye Liuyun yesterday. It was labeled "Rejuvenation Pill". As for its effects, Lin Aoxue had already glanced at it yesterday. This Rejuvenation Pill is a pill that restores strength, but Lin Aoxue had never heard of it before.

She opened the pill bottle and poured out a blue pill that radiated light and was covered with pill patterns. Lin Aoxue glanced at it and felt that the pill was a bit too flashy.

"What a boring guy. If you're going to refine pills, just do it. Why make it so fancy? It's like some kind of luxury item," Lin Aoxue complained.

She was not an alchemist and did not understand alchemy, so naturally she could not recognize the pill patterns and light, nor did she understand the preciousness of this pill.

Lin Aoxue poured out the pill and swallowed it. She completely trusted Ye Liuyun. Although Ye Liuyun was sometimes a bit frivolous, he was absolutely devoted to her.

After the Rejuvenation Pill entered her stomach, Lin Aoxue didn't take it seriously at first, but soon she was shocked. She saw the spiritual energy in the world flowing into a lake like a stream, and the depleted power in her body was rapidly restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What surprised her even more was not that her strength had been restored, but that the pill, while restoring her strength, also continuously channeled spiritual energy into her body, replenishing the spiritual power she had consumed.

"This? This effect? ​​No way? One pill restored all my spiritual power, and it's still continuing to restore it?" Lin Aoxue's eyes lit up.

Lin Aoxue suddenly realized that the secrets of her boyfriend from both her past lives might be far more than she had imagined.

However, Lin Aoxue didn't dwell on it too much. Anyway, Ye Liuyun would never harm her. The more skilled Ye Liuyun was in alchemy, the stronger she would become.

With this Rejuvenating Pill, it shouldn't be too difficult for Lin Aoxue to survive for three months. Moreover, among the pills Ye Liuyun gave her, there were not only Rejuvenating Pills, but also many other strange and unusual pills.

For example, the Vajra Pill that Ye Liuyun took yesterday also contained it. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Lin Aoxue tried all the usable pills, but after taking them, she was surprised by each one.

Ye Liuyun's pills of the same type are more effective. For example, the Exploding Spirit Pill actually helped her break through the bottleneck of the Spirit River Realm and enter the Spirit Sea Realm in one go.

Let's talk about Ye Liuyun again. She's started refining some unorthodox pills again. After a period of quiet, she's going to resume her alchemy.

The pills I'm going to use today will be made up of at least three kinds of medicinal materials, and they will be a combination of white-grade and green-grade medicinal materials.

In the past few years, we have tried all the combinations of white-grade medicinal materials, and have created nearly fifty new kinds of pills.

"Let's start by fusing these three: a low-grade Green-rank Spirit-Attracting Flower, a low-grade Green-rank Thunder-Containing Vine, and a low-grade Green-rank Bone-Refining Grass," Ye Liuyun murmured, looking at the three medicinal herbs before him as he sat in his room.

This is the first time that green-grade medicinal herbs have been fused together. The pills made from white-grade medicinal herbs, after being enhanced by immortal power, can produce so many miraculous effects.

The price of green-grade medicinal herbs will likely be even more outrageous.

However, there's no other way now. She's already used up all the white-grade medicinal herbs she could get, so she can only turn her attention to green-grade herbs.

"Master, nothing bad should happen, right? I have a bad feeling about this." Ye Liuyun asked hesitantly.

"If you're scared, then behave yourself," Lin Qingyou said speechlessly.

But as soon as she said that, Ye Liuyun really started acting up.

"Afraid? What am I afraid of? I'm not going to die. Let's get started." Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and then threw the medicinal herbs into the Myriad Medicines Cauldron.

The preceding procedures were naturally handled with ease; even green-grade medicinal herbs were easily managed by Ye Liuyun.

However, just as they began the process of fusing the core, a deafening thunderclap suddenly resounded in the previously clear sky. The thunder was extremely bright and seemed to ignore any defenses, ringing directly in the ears of all the cultivators of the Cloud Mist Sect.

"Boom!"

Those cultivators who were practicing were naturally startled when they suddenly heard such a loud thunderclap, and some of them almost went into a state of demonic possession.

"What? What's going on? Thunder? My residence has an array to isolate outside sounds!" the cultivators muttered in confusion.

The disciples outside instinctively looked up at the sky. There were no dark clouds in the sky, and it didn't look like it was going to rain. So what was that thunderclap just now?

"A bolt from the blue?" Some disciples were puzzled.

Of course, many people didn't take the thunder seriously, but soon another thunderclap sounded, and this time, it was as if someone had triggered a heavenly tribulation. Dark clouds covered the sky above the Cloud Mist Sect at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Perhaps because the incident of the Milky Way overflowing its banks a few years ago was too long ago, people didn't realize that these dark clouds were coming too strangely.

Is it going to rain? God, how can the weather change so suddenly?

But they were overthinking it; the arrival of dark clouds doesn't necessarily mean it will rain.

As the dark clouds gathered, streaks of lightning began to dance within them, like thunder dragons, and the thunder grew louder and more frequent.

"This is so annoying! Why is it thundering so much? And the thunder even penetrated my sound isolation formation. Is someone about to undergo tribulation?" The cultivators of Yunxia Sect who were in seclusion were forced to stop their cultivation.

Ordinary thunder cannot penetrate formations, but the heavenly lightning generated during tribulation ignores any formations and defenses.

Since heavenly lightning is a test from the heavens for cultivators, naturally no external force can stop it.

The thunder was so frequent that no one could cultivate, so they had to leave their dwellings and look up at the sky to see what was going on.

"Tribulation lightning? Is someone in the sect about to undergo tribulation?" Yun Yun and the others walked out of the main hall with doubt.

But if someone is undergoing tribulation, they should be able to sense it. However, for some reason, when they looked at the lightning tribulation in the sky, they felt as if lightning was about to fall from above at any moment.

It was as if they had attracted the heavenly lightning themselves, but they certainly knew better than anyone whether they were about to undergo tribulation. The heavenly lightning was clearly not something they had summoned.

The dark clouds quickly transformed into thunderclouds, a sight that made the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect feel extremely uneasy.

"This? This is bad, quickly activate the mountain-protecting formation." After observing for a while, Yun Yun sensed that something was wrong with the thunderclouds, so she hurriedly ordered the mountain-protecting formation inside the gate to be activated.

The main reason was that this strange phenomenon reminded Yun Yun of the time the river overflowed its banks a few years ago.

"It's about to be completed. This pill is interesting," Ye Liuyun chuckled as he looked at the pill in the Myriad Medicines Cauldron.
