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

Strangely enough, she didn't feel any of the loud thunder outside.

The thunderclouds outside grew increasingly turbulent, and soon a bolt of lightning descended from the sky, piercing through the Cloud Mist Sect's formation and striking an outer disciple.

"Ah..." This was too sudden; the disciple was completely unprepared.

Moreover, the fact that the Yunxia Sect's protective formation had no effect meant that this was indeed a tribulation lightning.

"Pfft! What's going on? I haven't reached the Tribulation Transcending stage yet, have I?" The disciple who was struck by lightning convulsed all over, his hair stood on end, and he lay on the ground, exhaling a breath of black gas.

The other disciples were also startled.

"Damn, so it's you, kid. You're about to undergo tribulation. Why aren't you in seclusion? Why are you wandering around outside?" Some disciples nearby complained.

But immediately, lightning began to fall frequently from the thunderclouds in the sky, and these lightning bolts accurately struck the disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect.

Several more people were struck by lightning and instantly collapsed from the shock, but this lightning was not as powerful as real heavenly thunder and did not kill them.

As the thunderclouds erupted, lightning bolts rained down on the Cloud Mist Sect. At that moment, everyone became the target of the heavenly lightning, including Yun Yun and the others.

However, Yun Yun and the others had higher cultivation levels, so they were able to withstand the heavenly lightning when it struck them, while the other disciples of the Wheel Sea did not have this ability.

"What...what's going on now?" The expressions of the Yunxia Sect's higher-ups changed drastically.

Chapter 38 Heavenly Thunder Tempered Body

Yun Yun dispersed a bolt of lightning with one hand, then used her divine sense to observe the situation of the sect. She discovered that all the disciples were among the targets of the lightning strike.

Or rather, any cultivator within the range of the thunderclouds will be attacked by lightning. The key is that the intensity of the lightning strikes is not high and varies from person to person.

Normally, only cultivators at the Dao Palace realm who break through their realm will be attacked by heavenly lightning, but now even cultivators at the early stage of the Spirit Stream realm are being targeted by heavenly lightning.

The lightning didn't kill them; it was just to let them experience what it's like to be struck by lightning.

Several elders of the Yunxia Sect were also rushing towards Yun Yun, but every time they flew a certain distance, they would be struck by heavenly lightning. However, even if the lightning struck them, it could not harm their bodies; at most, it would cause them some numbness and discomfort.

The First Elder, Yun Ling, was covered in soot. He had been struck by lightning while cultivating, and his beard and hair were singed.

"Damn it, Sect Master, what on earth is going on? This doesn't seem like tribulation lightning at all. But if it's not tribulation lightning, why is it ignoring all objects and array defenses?" Yun Ling asked in a fit of exasperation.

But how could Yun Yun possibly answer Yun Ling's question? It can only be said that something strange has happened again.

Moreover, this time even the patriarch of the Yunxia Sect flew out from his secluded cultivation place. The patriarch of the Yunxia Sect was a white-haired youth who looked very young. He was wearing a white robe and stood under the thunderclouds.

Seeing that someone dared to get so close to him, Lei Yun frantically gathered lightning to attack the young man.

But the silver-haired youth didn't care about the lightning attack at all, letting the lightning strike him.

"Master? Why did Master come out? Could it be that Master created this heavenly lightning? Is Master about to enter the Four Extremes Secret Realm?" Yun Yun and the others exclaimed in surprise as they looked at the figure standing tall in the sky.

That's right, the white-haired youth was indeed Yun Yun's master, named Yun Tian, ​​who was at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm in the Dao Palace.

This lightning is very strange. It will keep attacking people who are not struck down by the lightning. If you lie down, it will stop attacking you. As long as you are standing, it will keep sending down lightning.

Even Lin Aoxue in Wind Sword Valley was struck, but strangely, after being struck by lightning, Lin Aoxue did not feel any discomfort. On the contrary, his body absorbed the power of the lightning.

"What's going on? Why am I being struck by lightning? And the thing is, this lightning doesn't seem to have any power at all?" Lin Aoxue wondered, looking at the lightning bolts moving around her body.

Time passed slowly, and a few minutes later, Ye Liuyun successfully refined the pills. Ten purple pills, crackling with lightning, rolled out of the cauldron. These pills were filled with the power of lightning, and it was unknown what their effects would be.

"It's finished. Hey, Master, what are you staring out the window for?" Ye Liuyun asked, puzzled, after finishing refining the pill.

At this moment, Lin Qingyou's expression was extremely strange, because she could tell that it was definitely the thunderclouds attracted by Ye Liuyun's pills.

However, although the thunderclouds looked like a heavenly tribulation, their power was pitifully weak, and they couldn't even kill a cultivator at the Spirit Stream Realm.

"Hey? You brat, didn't you hear the thunder outside while you were refining medicine?" Lin Qingyou asked suspiciously.

"Huh? Really? I didn't feel anything." Ye Liuyun quickly went to the window and looked outside, but the sky was clear and there wasn't a single cloud.

That's because, at the very moment Ye Liuyun's pills were ready, the dark clouds suddenly disappeared. The dark clouds came and went quickly, so she didn't see them.

“When you were refining the medicine, it was thundering outside. It seems that the pills you were making attracted the lightning,” Lin Qingyou said.

"Thunderstorm? What? That can't be that dramatic, can it? How's the sect? Did no one get struck by lightning?" Ye Liuyun asked, his face full of shock.

"Don't worry, no one has been killed by lightning. The power of this lightning is very weak and won't kill anyone," Lin Qingyou shook her head.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that it was good that the attack hadn't killed anyone.

"That's good. Master, take a look and see what these pills are for." Ye Liuyun took out the pills he had refined and showed them to Lin Qingyou.

However, Lin Qingyou still shook her head after reading it.

"It should be some kind of body-tempering pill. Judging from the medicinal herbs you've chosen, that should be it. But you'll have to try it yourself to know the specific effects," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun nodded, then opened his mouth and threw a pill crackling with lightning into it. The moment the pill entered his mouth, an invisible bolt of thunder descended from the sky, piercing through Ye Liuyun's house and striking him.

"Ah..." Ye Liuyun screamed as he was electrocuted, then his eyes rolled back, he exhaled a breath of black gas, and collapsed to the ground convulsing.

"I... I swear, this is a Thunder-Summoning Pill, isn't it? It's so uncomfortable, and the worst part is, I can't die from it." Ye Liuyun stammered as he lay on the ground.

Lin Qingyou was observing Ye Liuyun's physical condition.

"It is indeed a Body Tempering Pill. It draws upon the thunder from the heavens to temper the body, and the falling lightning is just right, it won't kill anyone. What a wonderful thing! Let's call this pill the Heavenly Thunder Body Tempering Pill," Lin Qingyou exclaimed.

This elixir is quite interesting; it only affects the physical body, leaving no damage to clothes.

Ye Liuyun was electrocuted for a while until his skin was completely charred black, then cracked open, revealing the tender white skin underneath, just like that of a newborn. Only then did the tempering stop.

With the lightning power on his body gone, Ye Liuyun finally got up with a comfortable expression. As he got up, the charred skin on his body began to peel off.

"Ah! That feels good, Master. It was really painful when I was struck by lightning, but it felt great after a while. I also feel that my physical strength has increased a bit." Ye Liuyun looked at the large patches of dead skin on his body, quickly took off his clothes, and tore off the charred skin.

"This pill is absolutely top-grade for someone like you who can't improve their spiritual power. Taking this pill to cultivate in the future should accelerate the growth of your physical strength," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun agreed with Lin Qingyou's words. After Ye Liuyun finished peeling off the charred skin, she found that her cultivation level had improved again. Her physical strength had increased from the peak of the Spirit Stream Realm to the early stage of the Spirit River Realm, and her divine sense had also reached the Spirit River Realm.

"My cultivation level has improved, but alas! It's a pity that my spiritual power hasn't increased at all. It's frustrating. Without an increase in spiritual power, I can't fly." Ye Liuyun showed no joy at breaking through his cultivation level.

"It doesn't matter. If you can't fly, you can jump. As long as your body is strong enough, you can jump thousands of feet. As long as your speed and reaction are fast enough, you can even walk on clouds," Lin Qingyou comforted her.

This technique is like this; it will absolutely not increase the strength of spiritual power. This also means that Ye Liuyun cannot control magical artifacts or fly on the wind.

"Sigh! This is boring. Let's continue refining pills. This time, I'll try a combination of Spirit Fusion Flower, Water Spirit Grass, and Marrow Cleansing Fruit." Ye Liuyun finished dressing and started refining pills again.

Meanwhile, the disciples who had been struck by lightning outside also got up one after another. Their condition was similar to Ye Liuyun's, with a layer of charred skin on their bodies, which could be torn off in large chunks.

"Damn it, is the heavens out of their minds? Why is it suddenly thundering and raining down on us?" The disciples of the Yunxia Sect cursed and swore.

However, it was soon discovered that their physical bodies had been significantly strengthened after being tempered by the heavenly lightning.

Chapter 39 Strange Things Happen One After Another

Despite their complaints, once they returned to normal, they all noticed a significant improvement in their physical strength.

"Huh? I feel like my physical strength has increased after being struck by lightning. And my skin... after tearing away the charred skin, my body feels purer. My physical strength has increased by at least ten percent compared to before." A disciple stood up, clenched his fist, and said with a look of astonishment.

"Yes, I felt it too. Why does this scene seem so familiar? Oh, I remember, a few years ago, there was a rain of ice and fire that also had the effect of improving cultivation and helping people break through their realms. This time, the heavenly lightning is clearly not aimed at killing us, but rather seems to be helping us temper our bodies." Soon, someone also mentioned what happened three years ago.

In this way, they felt that it was as if the heavens were blessing their Yunxia Sect, even though the lightning strike had left them in a very sorry state.

But while they were in a sorry state, they also gained something unexpected.

When the patriarch of the Yunxia Sect saw the tribulation clouds dissipate, he frowned slightly, then his body flickered and he appeared in front of Yun Yun and the others.

Upon seeing the silver-haired youth before them, Yun Yun and the others immediately bowed in respect.

"Master?"

"Old Sect Master."

Upon seeing her master, Yun Yun immediately ran over like a little girl and hugged her master's arm.

As for the others, they didn't have the guts.

Yun Yun is Yun Tian's personal disciple. Moreover, she was brought back to the Yunxia Sect from the mortal world by Yun Tian when she was still an infant. The master and disciple have a very good relationship.

Yun Yun also lived up to expectations. In terms of talent, she surpassed Yun Tian and reached the early stage of the Dao Palace Out-of-Body Realm in just three hundred years.

Yun Tian has been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage for many years and has been seeking a breakthrough.

"Hmm, it seems that some strange things have happened in the sect in the past few years. Three years ago, there was the ice and fire rain, and today, there is the lightning from the nine heavens. Yun'er, can you figure out what's going on?" Yun Tian asked with a smile.

Yun Tian was already very old, over four hundred years old. Under normal circumstances, a Dao Palace cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage could only live for five hundred years. His lifespan had come to an end, which was why he had a head of silver hair.

"Master, I don't know what's going on. At first, I thought it was a powerful force attacking our Yunxia Sect, but the scale was huge, but the power was very small. It wasn't aimed at destroying our Yunxia Sect."

"Afterwards, many of the disciples who suffered not only had no injuries, but were actually helped to break through their cultivation levels. I just observed those disciples who were struck by lightning again. They looked very disheveled, but none of them were in mortal danger. In fact, their physical strength was improved. So, I have absolutely no clue what to do now," Yun Yun said, looking completely bewildered.

Yun Tian nodded. He had just absorbed a lot of lightning strikes, so he knew that the power of the lightning strikes here was not great.

"Do any of you have any ideas?" Yun Tian thought for a moment and then looked at Yun Ling and the others.

"Sect Master, since there's no harm in it, it must be a blessing from heaven. I believe it must be a blessing from the heavens, otherwise there's no way to explain it," Yun Ling said solemnly.

The other three elders also agreed with Yun Ling's idea. If the strange phenomenon in the sky was not a bad thing, it was a blessing. At their level, they were not yet able to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth, so it was normal that they could not see through the will of heaven.

But just when they thought this was a blessing from heaven, dark clouds began to gather again above the Yunxia Sect.

"Huh? Why are the dark clouds gathering again?" Yun Yun and the others looked up at the sky as soon as they noticed the sunlight was being blocked.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

As the dark clouds gathered, thunder and lightning roared incessantly. The disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect were startled, but the disciples who had benefited from being struck by lightning earlier did not seek shelter. Instead, they went to an open space and excitedly shouted at the dark clouds.

"Heavens above, let the lightning strike even harder, as long as it doesn't kill me."

Unfortunately, this time, instead of lightning, it rained. The rainwater did not contain any power of ice or fire, but it seemed to contain a rich life essence.

Wherever the rain fell, a large number of flowers and plants grew, and even people's bodies quickly sprouted flowers and plants, which was quite sudden.

"What? What is this? Why are flowers and grass growing on my body?" Inside the Cloud Mist Sect, there were cries of surprise again. Flowers and grass growing on one's body was not a good thing, so they quickly found a place to shelter from the rain.

As for Yun Yun and the others, they used their magic to isolate the rain. Unlike the previous lightning strikes, this rain was something they could resist and defend against.

"Another strange phenomenon." Yun Tian watched as Yun Yun and the others frantically used their magic to shatter the flowers and plants growing on their bodies.

They hadn't reacted in time and got soaked by the rain. After realizing something was wrong with the rain, they quickly erected a magical barrier.

The once solemn Yunxia Sect was transformed in no time, resembling an ancient ruin that hadn't been cleaned for centuries. The roads and buildings were covered with dense flowers and plants, making the once dignified Yunxia Sect look somewhat comical.

This time, the disciples were far from happy. Who could stand having so much grass and flowers growing on their heads? Luckily, the roots of these plants hadn't penetrated their bodies, otherwise it would have been embarrassing—their heads would be covered in green.

"Damn it, Master! Regardless of whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, if these strange things keep happening, how can the disciples of the sect concentrate on their cultivation? The thunder is constant and deafening. Even if it's a good thing, it turns into a bad thing," Yun Yun said, somewhat annoyed.

But Yun Tian shook his head.

"Yun'er, your mental state still needs further improvement. A true cultivator can remain as still as a mountain even when surrounded by fire. The rolling thunder is indeed irritating, but if you can calm your mind and cultivate under the thunder, it can be a good way to improve your mental state."

"Alright, I'll head back now. Since we can't stop this strange phenomenon from happening, we can only adapt to it. I hope all of this isn't a bad thing for the sect." Yun Tian sighed, then disappeared from the spot.

This life-giving rain lasted only five minutes; after that, the sky cleared and the sun shone through again.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun stopped refining medicine. This time, she had refined a light blue pill.

"Master, has something strange happened outside again?" Ye Liuyun asked when he noticed Lin Qingyou looking out the window after finishing refining the pills.

However, this time Lin Qingyou seemed to have figured out the reason for the strange phenomena.

"Yes, it must be the power of the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron that imbued the refined pills with immortal energy. Anything imbued with immortal energy is no longer an ordinary product. This is because the birth of the immortal pill triggered a change in the world," Lin Qingyou explained.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback, then nodded in agreement. It did make sense, but it wasn't entirely true, because it was strange that ordinary medicinal herbs could be used to refine a celestial pill and cause a change in the world.

"Let's not talk about that now. Why don't you take a look at the new pills I've just refined?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Lin Qingyou immediately turned around to look at the pill in Ye Liuyun's hand that was emitting a blue glow.

"It contains a rich life force; this should be some kind of healing elixir," Lin Qingyou said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately reached out and slashed her wrist with all her might, causing blood to flow freely. She then quickly swallowed a pill.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, sure enough, a rich life force quickly spread throughout his body, and the wound on Ye Liuyun's wrist healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However, the effects of this elixir are certainly far more than that.

Chapter 40 The Immortal Path of Nanling

Ye Liuyun carefully sensed the changes within his body. The vitality contained in this pill was so great that it could probably pull a person back from the underworld, let alone a small wound, or even someone who was still on their last breath.
