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

They definitely didn't know Ye Liuyun's identity and treated him as an ordinary disciple. To put it bluntly, even if Ye Liuyun wiped them out, Yun Sect probably wouldn't really do anything to Ye Liuyun for the sake of the sect's interests.

At the main hall of Yunzong, Fang Mingyu also quickly received a message from the elder of Caiyun Peak.

"Hmm? This is interesting." Fang Mingyu was taken aback after reading the information, and then asked the elder in charge of this demon-hunting conference.

"Fourth Elder, find out where Ye Liuyu is right now," Fang Mingyu suddenly asked.

Fang Mingyu had already informed everyone that no one was allowed to interfere in Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun's affairs. In other words, even if Ye Liuyun was wrong, Caiyun Peak had no right to punish him and had to consult Fang Mingyu.

Yunzong only gave Ye Liuyun the identity of a disciple of Caiyun Peak, which is why the patrolling elder sent a message to Fang Mingyu.

The fourth elder of the Yun Sect was somewhat confused about what was going on, but he still used the main array token to search, but the result was that he could not find any trace of Ye Liuyun.

"Sect Master, we haven't seen any trace of Ye Liuyu in the nine training grounds. She might not have entered the training grounds and is probably outside the formation. Let me check again to see if she's inside the sect." The Fourth Elder answered Fang Mingyu's question first, and then searched the sect's territory again, but still couldn't find her.

"This? Sect Master, Ye Liuyu isn't even within the sect's territory. It seems she must be in one of the public areas of the Cloud Sea Mountains," the Fourth Elder replied helplessly.

The other peak masters and elders were confused and couldn't understand what was going on.

"What? Sect Master, what happened?" Su Ying asked.

Fang Mingyu quickly explained the situation, and after hearing it, everyone was puzzled. If what those people said was true, Ye Liuyun was indeed the most suspicious. However, they couldn't find the other party, and they couldn't rely on mere words.

This time, Huo Ling remained silent, which was unusual. They had already embarrassed themselves several times, and she couldn't be bothered to say anything for those good-for-nothing disciples.

"Interesting. This matter has just ended, and this team has already been attacked. If it really was done by that little girl Ye Liuyu, then this seemingly harmless girl has quite a temper." The Lord of Lei Yunfeng laughed.

Because there was no evidence and the person could not be found, Fang Mingyu could only reply to the patrol elder, telling her not to worry about the matter for the time being, and to discuss it after the conference.

But actually, this means he didn't intend to get involved.

After receiving the message, the patrol elder glanced at the six people in silence.

"You six should go back first. We will investigate after the tournament. It's not appropriate to investigate this matter during the competition," the patrol elder of Caiyun Peak suggested.

But the six men's expressions changed drastically. What if they didn't confirm it now, and the other party disposed of their belongings during this period? Wouldn't that leave them with no way to prove anything?

"Elder, this..." The man surnamed Fang wanted to say something more.

"That's enough, let's go back first." The patrol elder of Caiyun Peak waved his hand and took the six people away.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun was still tracking the group led by the man surnamed Wu.

Time gradually passed from day to night. At night, they needed to find a place to rest, so nighttime was the best time for Ye Liuyun to deal with them.

That night, under a dark and windy sky, the six people found a relatively secluded spot and set up an isolation array.

Ye Liuyun hid in the darkness, staring intently ahead.

"After following them all night, I finally have a chance, but how should I deal with them?" Ye Liuyun was thinking of a solution, because these people were all unharmed, and their location was not suitable for using the previous methods.

In a head-on confrontation, she definitely couldn't defeat that Dao Palace Level 3 cultivator unless she found an opportunity to launch a sneak attack and severely injure him. But once the opponent was on guard, she would basically have no chance.

Ye Liuyun began searching through the pills she had refined, looking for any that might be surprisingly effective. After all, many pills that she had previously deemed useless might be useful now.

After searching around, they still couldn't find a good elixir.

"Forget it, let's try hallucinogenic pills, but we'll have to increase the dosage. At this level, hallucinogenic pills definitely won't work on them," Ye Liuyun muttered.

Ye Liuyun couldn't guarantee whether increasing the number of pill patterns on his Great Illusion Pill would cause a major change in the world, but there was nothing he could do about it.

As he spoke, Ye Liuyun began to retreat, then found a spot and began to refine medicine using the Myriad Medicines Cauldron.

"To deal with them, refining a Three-Pattern Hallucinogenic Pill should be enough," Ye Liuyun muttered to herself. She said she would refine it, and she did. However, the strange phenomenon produced by the first refinement was not thunder and lightning.

As Ye Liuyun refined more potent hallucinogenic pills, all sorts of mushrooms began to mysteriously grow in Cuiping Mountain.

These mushrooms grow very quickly.

The six men surnamed Wu, who were resting in the camp, were also startled by this sudden and strange phenomenon.

"Ouch, what's poking my butt?" A female cultivator who was meditating suddenly cried out in surprise, then jumped up, clutching her buttocks.

Her commotion was sure to attract the attention of others, and the other five looked toward where the female cultivator was. They saw that an umbrella-shaped mushroom had sprouted from the ground.

"Mushrooms?" The group was stunned.

Not only that, but soon the others were also bumped, and they quickly stood up. After standing up, they found that mushrooms were growing all around them, and at a completely abnormal growth rate.

"What? What is this? What the hell is this?" The group instinctively huddled together to prevent the situation from escalating.

Even more bizarrely, these mushrooms grew larger and larger, with some reaching over ten meters in height, resembling a mushroom tree.

They instinctively tried to use spells to eliminate the mushrooms, but after they cut the mushrooms in half, large amounts of colorful gas were released from them.

This color looks suspicious.

"This? Be careful, something's not right." The man surnamed Wu unleashed a burst of flames from his hands, sweeping them in all directions. The flames instantly burned away all the colorful gases and mushrooms, turning the surrounding area for hundreds of meters into scorched earth.

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

However, the cultivators and monsters in other areas were not so lucky. As a large number of mushrooms grew vigorously, they began to emit all kinds of gases, which spread throughout Cuiping Mountain.

Those cultivators who accidentally inhaled these gases began to lose their senses, and even demonic beasts and animals were not spared.

"Damn it, something strange is happening again. I feel like this is similar to the previous incidents that occurred in the sect." The man surnamed Wu and the others were forced to throw out array flags that could isolate external forces, allowing the array to block the gas released by these mushrooms.

These gases are actually tiny mushroom spores.

Fire-attribute cultivators have a certain degree of control over these spores and mushrooms, but cultivators of other attributes will be in trouble if they are not prepared.

On the other side, a group of six people were meditating quietly in the camp, completely unaware of the spores released by these mushrooms. By the time they realized something was wrong, it was too late; they had all inhaled the mushroom spores.

As they inhaled the mushroom spores, these people began to feel unwell, mainly in their brains, which suddenly felt like they were drunk and experiencing a euphoric state.

When the person realized something was wrong and opened their eyes, they were already in another space; they had been poisoned and entered a hallucinatory space.

Different people experience completely different hallucinations, and they are all pleasant and joyful hallucinations. In any case, the poison gas will only make you feel good, but it will not harm your life.

For example, those disciples who deeply admire Tantai Mingyue might experience Tantai Mingyue's image appearing in their hallucinations after they fall under the spell.

Or it could be a male cultivator you like, a relative you miss, or a treasure you found in your illusions—all sorts of illusions fueled by amplified desires.

But an illusion is still an illusion. The presentation in an illusion is completely different from the presentation in reality. But people who are under the influence of an illusion will only think that they are dreaming, similar to sleepwalking. The same is true for monsters.

However, the illusions of monsters are certainly not as complex as those of humans.

"Roar……"

"Awoo..."

The desires of demonic beasts are primarily lust; Ye Liuyun is actually encouraging the demonic beasts of Cuiping Mountain to reproduce.

About five minutes later, Mount Cuiping erupted like a volcano, with loud roars of beasts echoing everywhere, as if a beast tide had broken out, and almost all the demonic beasts were stirring.

But in reality, their restlessness was purely lustful; they wanted to find other suitable demons to mate with.

Even with such a commotion, the cultivators who were under the influence of illusions were still not awakened.

"Why are there roars of monsters coming from all directions? What's happening in Cuiping Mountain? Is a beast tide about to break out?" The cultivators who reacted quickly enough and weren't affected by the illusions were all frightened by the commotion.

Ye Liuyun quickly finished refining the Three-Pattern Hallucinogenic Pill. However, the large number of mushrooms growing in Cuiping Mountain did not disappear after the pill refining was completed. Ye Liuyun had increased the danger level of Cuiping Mountain all by himself.

This place is probably about to become the most dangerous area among the nine training grounds; let's rename it Mushroom Mountain from now on.

"Ah, it's finished. Hey? Why are there so many mushrooms around here? What? Master, did I make this while refining medicine?" After Ye Liuyun realized what was going on, he found that something was wrong with his surroundings.

Strangely enough, the spores released by these mushrooms all avoided Ye Liuyun, much like the lightning strikes. The strange phenomena created by the pills she produced had no effect on her personally.

"Yes, it's what you made by refining medicine. And these mushrooms seem to release a lot of hallucinogenic poisonous gas. Currently, the poisonous gas has enveloped the entire Cuiping Mountain. Most of the people and monsters inside have been poisoned. Only some monsters with toxin resistance and cultivators who reacted quickly have not been affected," Lin Qingyou explained with a wry smile.

Ye Liuyun felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to the howling and wailing sounds coming from all around him.

Previously, when she refined these white-grade pills, there were basically no major anomalies. However, as the quality and efficacy of the pills improved, the power of the anomalies also increased.

There's no way around it. Back in the Cloud Mist Sect, the most trouble came from Spirit Pattern Realm cultivators. Now that we've risen to the Dao Palace level, the quality of our pills and medicines naturally needs to be upgraded as well.

What happened at Cuiping Mountain?

The patrolling elder of Caiyun Peak was stunned by the changes at Cuiping Mountain. She could clearly see the spore gas permeating the air. Fortunately, this poisonous gas was of no use to the cultivators of the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

The Four Extremes Secret Realm cultivates the physical body, elevating it to a level completely distinct from humans. Their internal structure changes, and they no longer cultivate magical power. This kind of physical cultivation is different from body cultivation.

The power within the body is still magical power, but the focus is not on cultivating magical power. Instead, the goal is to use this realm to transform the physical body.

Cultivators at this level possess immense strength, and the differences between male and female bodies are essentially smoothed out.

Upon reaching the Divine Soul Realm, as long as one is not fatally injured, even severed hands or arms can regenerate on their own, and the physical body may become more of an energy condensation.

Such a physical body is completely immune to toxins and has great resistance to certain elemental attacks.

Elder Caiyun Peak quickly used her divine sense to cover the Cuiping Mountain Range. When she saw that the Yun Sect disciples and demonic beasts were all acting like demons, doing strange things in various places, she realized that the gas was poisonous.

"Damn it, wake up, all of you!" Elder Caiyun Peak used his power to forcibly awaken the Yunzong disciples who were in a trance.

These people's illusions were shattered one after another, but after the illusions disappeared, the scene became awkward. Those who thought they were being intimate with their loved ones in the environment found that they might have been embracing their companions when they woke up, and not just any companion, but one of either gender.

"Ugh..." The cultivators who were hugging and kissing their companions turned around and vomited as soon as they realized what was happening.

They have no homosexual tendencies. As for female cultivators, it depends on whether they are real female cultivators or female cultivators after gender transformation. If they are real female cultivators, their first reaction is to scream and then slap the other person hard.

As for the female cultivators who underwent gender transformation, their first reaction was similar to that of the male cultivators.

"Damn it, we're all hallucinating! What on earth is going on?" the people shouted angrily as they came to their senses.

However, not long after they woke up, they inhaled hallucinogenic gas again, because these mushrooms continuously release hallucinogenic gas. After inhaling the hallucinogenic gas again, they began to behave in strange ways again.

The patrol elder looked grim. Clearly, while her power could awaken these people, it couldn't eliminate the gas emitted by the mushrooms in one go.

"All Yun Sect disciples, hold your breath! There is a hallucinogenic gas in the air. Do not breathe!" The patrolling elder had no choice but to cast a spell again to wake them up. This time, after being awakened, the people realized what was happening and they all used their magic power to wrap themselves up or hold their breath to prevent the poisonous gas from entering their bodies.

"Ah... what's wrong with our Yun Sect lately? Why are strange things happening one after another? Are we even allowed to live like this?" someone cried out in despair.

Feeling the commotion around him, Ye Liuyun could only awkwardly apologize in his heart.

And she was about to take action against the man surnamed Wu and his group.

Because once they fully realize what's happening, they will definitely evacuate the Cuiping Mountains overnight.

Chapter 289 Escalation of the Situation (5000 words)

Ye Liuyun glanced at the pill in his hand, then stealthily approached the group from behind, took out the Blue Rose Sword, and lightly made a cut on their formation.

The next moment, a small opening was torn in the array that isolated it from external forces, big enough to insert a pill.

"Hehehe, enjoy this moment." Ye Liuyun sneered, stuffed the pill inside, and then detonated it.

The pill landed on the ground, quickly releasing a purple mist.

All of this happened so suddenly that these people couldn't react in time.

It can only be said that Lin Qingyou is too perfect as a tool; she can be both a normal radar and a radar jamming device.

"Huh? What's going on? This is bad." The man surnamed Wu noticed a thick purple smoke suddenly rising behind him, and his expression changed.

Unfortunately, by the time they tried to get away from the smoke, they had already inhaled the toxic fumes.

As the poisonous fog entered their bodies, the six of them immediately became dazed, standing there swaying unsteadily, looking completely drunk, sometimes laughing foolishly, sometimes crying. After a while, they began to perform various bizarre behaviors.

This scene made Ye Liuyun's scalp tingle. It can only be said that for these cultivators who were in the illusion, this illusion was almost equivalent to everything real, so real that they could not distinguish between reality and illusion at all.

This reminded Ye Liuyun of a song from his past life.

Red umbrella, white pole, we ate together and slept on a wooden board, lying in a coffin.

As the group fully entered the illusion, Ye Liuyun easily dismantled their formation and entered.

"Oh dear, fortunes change every thirty years. How long has it been? We meet again. They say a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, but I don't want to wait a moment longer for my revenge. Really, I really wanted to give you some powerful pills, but unfortunately, I'll have to wait until later."

Ye Liuyun watched the group complain for a bit, then took out the Myriad Medicines Cauldron and used it as a hammer, tapping each of the six people on the head.

The six of them immediately lay down quietly like corpses.

After they fell asleep, she did the same thing again, taking all the valuables off the six of them. If they hadn't been wearing disciples' robes, she would have stripped them naked as well.

"Tsk tsk, farewell, everyone." Ye Liuyun took the things and left with a hearty laugh.

Having just suffered a setback, Ye Liuyun regained his footing. These twelve people probably never expected Ye Liuyun to be so ruthless.

Because of the major incident at Cuiping Mountain, the higher-ups of the Yun Sect could no longer sit idly by. Some elders who were not in danger rushed to Cuiping Mountain to help rescue the trapped disciples one by one.

Because the formation surrounding Cuiping Mountain is a closed space, the mushroom spores inside cannot leave Cuiping Mountain with the airflow, and the spore poisonous fog becomes more and more concentrated.

Many people have just woken up and haven't even taken a few steps before they get infected again.

The elders floated in the air and used their magic to pull the disciples out from a distance.
