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

"Alright, since the people from Fire Cloud Peak are so despicable, let's put some pressure on them. Go, beat them up!" Female disciples from Thunder Cloud Peak joined the battle one after another.

To be honest, the female disciples of Lei Yunfeng are definitely the strongest in the entire sect in terms of physical combat power. Almost all of their female disciples are very tall and look very strong.

Once he went up there, he easily knocked down some of the female disciples from Fire Cloud Peak.

It can only be said that this is not a heavyweight class. Even if the disciples of Lei Yunfeng do not cultivate their physical bodies, as long as they cultivate thunder techniques, they must draw the power of lightning into their bodies. In this way, their physical strength will gradually increase over time.

If an ordinary female cultivator's physical strength is only 5 points, then the female disciples of Lei Yun Peak have at least 7 to 8 points.

Alright, what was originally a two-way battle quickly turned into a three-way battle, or rather, a joint attack by Lei Yunfeng and Caiyunfeng on Huoyunfeng.

"Damn it, I want to join in too. I'm also fed up with those arrogant bastards from Fire Cloud Peak." Some of the bolder female disciples from other factions also wanted to go up and beat them when they were down.

This is a typical example of the consequences of being disliked.

"Most of the sisters on Caiyun Peak are very gentle and don't like to fight. I don't know why Huoyun Peak would bully them. I think they didn't come for Ye Liuyu at all, but just to cause trouble," someone said.

"You don't understand, do you? This is called putting pressure on them. There's no point in so many of them going to find Ye Liuyu," a smart person replied.

Indeed, if Ye Liuyu hides in her residence and doesn't come out, there's nothing anyone can do about her.

Just as they were fighting fiercely, a dark cloud rapidly gathered above the Cloud Sect. This sudden appearance of the cloud immediately alerted all the Cloud Sect disciples.

"Huh? Why did the weather suddenly change? Could it be that one of those strange celestial phenomena is happening again?" Upon seeing the change in the weather, the Yun Sect disciples immediately became frightened.

But their fear was in vain.

"Boom, boom..."

A series of deafening thunderclaps began to echo throughout the Cloud Sect's territory, each one causing ringing in everyone's ears.

The awe-inspiring crowd involuntarily stopped.

But before they could react, bolts of lightning descended from the sky, this time far more powerful than the previous lightning.

This is because the lightning phenomenon produced by the regular version of the Heavenly Thunder Tempering Pill could only harm those in the Foundation Establishment stage of the Dao Palace, and had little effect on those in the Core Formation stage and above.

This time, however, bolts of lightning accurately targeted all the disciples of the Cloud Sect, turning the sect into a lightning field.

"Ah..." One scream after another rang out throughout the Cloud Sect.

Unlike previous lightning strikes, this time a single bolt of lightning struck down all cultivators below the Four Extremes Secret Realm, with virtually no one escaping except for the disciples of Thundercloud Peak.

Ji Chunling of Lei Yunfeng was cultivating peacefully in the Thunder Tower when a bolt of lightning struck her without regard for her defenses, nearly startling her.

"What's going on? How could lightning strike through the Heavenly Thunder Tower and hit me?" Ji Chunling was shocked like a light bulb, but because her body had been absorbing lightning power for a long time and she also had a lightning spirit root, she actually withstood the lightning strike and slowly absorbed the lightning power.

Most of Lei Yunfeng's disciples were able to withstand the lightning.

However, the other disciples had basically been charred into pieces by the lightning, which burned their skin in one go.

This must have been caused by Ye Liuyun's alchemy practice. There's no doubt about it, because those who had fainted were basically no longer struck by lightning. Only the high-ranking members of the Yun Sect and the cultivators on Lei Yun Peak were still experiencing thunderstorms.

Especially on Lei Yun Peak, it was terrifying, with countless bolts of lightning striking Lei Yun Peak.

"What's going on here? Is it a tribulation lightning?" The Yun Sect's higher-ups were also resisting the lightning, but they were much more relaxed. The lightning that struck them was simply deflected.

"I don't know. It seems like there was a thunderstorm in the sky, and it hit everyone at once. It's probably another strange phenomenon like last time," an elder said, both shocked and angry.

The battle on Caiyun Peak has come to a halt. There's nothing they can do; everyone has been knocked unconscious by a bolt of lightning. Only the female disciples of Leiyun Peak are still holding on.

But as soon as they got up, another bolt of lightning struck them down and knocked them back down.

The disciples of Fire Cloud Peak and Rainbow Cloud Peak lay on the ground groaning incessantly until Ye Liuyun finished refining the pills, at which point the heavenly lightning disappeared.

Ye Liuyun's method of stopping the war was far more sophisticated than going to the scene.

Lin Qingyou had been observing the situation at Yunzong for Ye Liuyun, and only after confirming that the hand-to-hand combat had ended did she inform Ye Liuyun.

"Alright, the battle is over. This lightning strike was several times stronger than before. They're all basically down," Lin Qingyou said.

After Lin Qingyou finished speaking, Ye Liuyun stopped refining medicine, and she had an extra Heavenly Thunder Tempering Pill with pill patterns in her hand.

"For this type of pill that needs to be synthesized, if I want to create more pill patterns at once, it seems I need to increase my soul power. At most, I can only create three at this point. But for regular pills, I can refine nine pill patterns. I don't know why," Ye Liuyun muttered.

Lin Qingyou couldn't explain it either. In any case, she found Ye Liuyun's method of synthesizing pills to be unbelievable from the beginning. Of course, it was also possible that she herself had never tried to do it this way.

After the thunderclouds disappeared, the higher-ups of the Cloud Sect hurriedly sent the elders to check on the situation of the disciples on each peak, especially on Rainbow Cloud Peak, where a female disciple lay there, her body charred black but out of danger.

"What? How are you all? Are you alright?" The elders of Caiyun Peak were heartbroken to see the miserable state of their disciples.

"Elder, I'm fine, but my whole body is numb and I can't move for a moment," a disciple replied.

Upon arriving at the location and seeing that no one had died, the higher-ups immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter 299 The Sect Assembly Begins (5000 words)

One of the female elders of the Cloud Sect glanced at the sky, which had cleared of clouds and the sun was shining, and her eyes were filled with doubt and confusion.

"Strange, why does this lightning seem so familiar?" an elder murmured to himself.

The reason she felt the face looked familiar was because she had participated in the last siege of the Blood Demon Cult's Jiangzhou Prefecture headquarters in Jianglin City.

At that time, lightning struck from the sky, attacking the cultivators, which actually helped them. Moreover, according to the investigation, the cultivators would not be attacked by lightning as long as they did not get up.

Although the lightning in Jianglin City was not as powerful as the lightning in Yunzong, the two were similar. Only those who were standing were struck, while those who were lying down were not.

Therefore, the observant cultivators noticed this.

Upon learning from Lin Qingyou that her lightning strike had nearly stunned all cultivators below the Four Extremes Secret Realm, Ye Liuyun immediately laughed.

"Hehe, if only this phenomenon could be controlled by my will and only strike those I don't like," Ye Liuyun chuckled.

However, Lin Aoxue, who was standing to the side, immediately poured cold water on the idea.

“If you only attack people you don’t like, then everyone will be able to guess that you’re taking revenge on them,” Lin Aoxue said.

"Huh? Well, it seems so. But, Aoxue, could you please not dampen my spirits? Let me have some fun first." Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes at Lin Aoxue.

"Tch! What's so funny? Your happiness is built on other people's pain and suffering, you know? If they knew you were the one who did all this, they'd devour you alive!" Lin Aoxue retorted.

Ye Liuyun shrugged. That makes sense.

An hour has passed.

Those disciples who were struck by lightning have mostly recovered. However, after recovering, they found that their skin was charred black, as if it had been roasted by fire. With the slightest movement, the charred skin would crack open, revealing the new, tender white skin underneath.

"Interesting. This heavenly lightning not only didn't kill me, but it also made my physical strength even stronger. To be precise, these recent celestial phenomena seem to be tempering us Yun Sect disciples." Murong Huan murmured to himself, looking at his newly grown skin in his residence.

He wasn't the only one who discovered this problem; soon everyone else also realized the benefits of being struck by lightning.

Especially for the disciples of Lei Yunfeng, being struck by lightning was practically boosting their combat power. It could only be said that this lightning phenomenon was very much in line with the cultivation methods of the Lei Yunfeng disciples.

The women who had been fighting at the foot of Caiyun Peak gradually woke up, but their screams filled the air.

There was no way around it; even the skin of those at the Dao Palace realm was scorched by the electricity, so naturally, their human-level magic treasures and disciple robes couldn't withstand it either.

Almost everyone who was struck was naked, but not everyone was like the female disciples of Lei Yunfeng who just stood there and endured it.

Fortunately, Yun Zong had driven the male disciples away beforehand; otherwise, there would have been quite a show.

"Ah... my clothes, what's going on? Where did this lightning come from?"

At this point, neither the disciples of Fire Cloud Peak nor the disciples of Rainbow Cloud Peak had any intention of continuing the fight. They couldn't possibly fight naked, could they?

They're not that shameless.

The female elders of Yunzong stood by, their faces flushed. Even if they were mentally stable, they would feel ashamed and embarrassed by such a scene.

This time, the lightning not only destroyed their clothes, but also their hair and eyebrows, making it seem like a group of nuns had appeared.

Fortunately, cultivators at the Dao Palace realm have the ability to use their magic power to stimulate their bodies and make their hair, eyebrows, and other hair grow back quickly. It's just a pity that the disciples of Fire Cloud Peak, whose hair color had changed because of the color-changing rain last time, still had fiery red hair when they grew back.

Actually, I only felt a little uncomfortable with this unusual hair color at first. Once I got used to it, I actually thought it looked quite nice.

Ye Liuyun's Heavenly Thunder Tempering Pill phenomenon is definitely a weapon to stop fighting. No matter how intense the battle is, a single lightning strike will bring them to an end.

"Why aren't you putting on spare clothes? How can you be so improper standing naked?" the female elders shouted angrily at the disciples who were still in a daze.

This angry shout finally brought the stunned women to their senses, but once they did, the disciples of Fire Cloud Peak started cursing and swearing again.

After this outburst of insults, the female disciples of Caiyun Peak naturally had to retaliate with insults of their own. However, when it came to the skill of cursing, Caiyun Peak was clearly no match for Huoyun Peak.

But the most awkward ones were actually the female disciples who had undergone gender reassignment surgery. They looked at their naked fellow disciples around them, and then at themselves, and suddenly realized a problem: they seemed to be no different from them now.

If this were before, and there were so many female disciples around me not wearing clothes, I probably would have exploded long ago. But after being a woman for more than a year, when I look at them now, I hardly feel any restlessness anymore.

That's how people are. When you want to fit into a circle, you naturally blend in once you become like them. Living with a group of women for a long time can influence even men, making them more effeminate.

As the saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black." The environment has a greater influence on a person than their own personality. This is one of the reasons why Ye Liuyun's personality is becoming more and more feminine.

Since becoming a woman, she has tried her best to avoid contact with other people. Even after going to the Yunxia Sect, she didn't have much contact with male disciples. Her environment has already undergone tremendous changes.

From initial shame and embarrassment about one's body to gradual acceptance, appreciation, and even fervor, this series of changes is all due to the influence of the environment on a person.

After this incident in Yunzong, they did not forcibly distinguish between genders. Their lifestyles remained largely unchanged. However, a few months ago, after the factions were reassigned according to gender, especially the female disciples of Caiyun Peak who underwent gender reassignment, they quickly became more feminine.

They live in this community but don't want to be discriminated against. There's an instinctive force within them that compels them to adopt their current identity and integrate into this community. This is the ultimate outcome for gender-transgender people.

As for whether their mentality will become completely feminine, that depends on the individual. At the very least, their behavior will eventually become indistinguishable from that of a woman, and the same is true for those female nuns who become men.

Another day passed, and by the second day, the person who had been struck by lightning had basically fully recovered.

Today, Han Yao led a group of important disciples from Caiyun Peak to the outside of Bixia Valley.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Han Yao asked, glancing at her junior sisters behind her.

These women were all core disciples who participated in the group battle against Huoyun Peak yesterday.

"This whole thing started because of her, which led to the disciples of Fire Cloud Peak coming to provoke our Rainbow Cloud Peak. Since things have come to this, let's fight to the end. What's the point of her hiding at home and refusing to come out? If she doesn't come out, those bastards from Fire Cloud Peak will come to Rainbow Cloud Peak to cause trouble sooner or later. We can't just be left to bear the brunt of it." A blue-haired core disciple of the Dao Palace in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm said angrily.

"That's right, I think so too. We can't let ourselves be provoked and bullied for nothing." After recovering today, the core disciples of Caiyun Peak became angrier and angrier. Caiyun Peak never competed with other factions, but this time, Huoyun Peak turned its spear against them. How could they not be angry?

But in reality, they all knew that the people from Huoyun Peak were simply using Caiyun Peak as an outlet for their anger because they were ranked last and because of what Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun had done.

Their purpose in coming here was to demand that Ye Liuyun join their united front and stand with them through thick and thin, because they knew that Ye Liuyun was a powerful body cultivator, so they had to get Ye Liuyun to step forward.

They've all lived for over a hundred years. Even if their mental capacity isn't high due to the influence of their cultivation environment, they're not stupid.

After listening, Han Yao sighed helplessly, then took out her token and contacted Ye Liuyun.

When Ye Liuyun received Han Yao's message, she was stunned. She quickly said something to Lin Aoxue, then told Fan Ling to hide before opening the formation and letting Han Yao and the others in.

Since we have guests visiting today, we naturally can't turn them away.

After the formation was activated, Han Yao and the others went inside. To be honest, many of them were entering Bixia Valley for the first time, and they were amazed by the scenery as soon as they entered.

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

"This? Is this the Valley of the Clouds? I never expected that the Valley of the Clouds would be such a hidden paradise. No wonder everyone says that this is where the future master of the Cloud Sect will live. It's so beautiful, several times more beautiful than my residence." A core disciple of the Cloud Peak said with envy.

"Yes, it is quite beautiful. However, this place should be where Ye Liuyu's younger sister, Lin Aoxue, lives. I heard that Senior Sister Lin also lives here," another person said.

Before long, they crossed the stream and forest path and entered the valley, where Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were waiting for them at the edge of the lake.

"Wow, there's such a big lake! And look at this tree, it's so beautiful!" They were immediately amazed when they entered and saw the huge spirit peach tree overhead. This place was simply their ideal place to live. Living here would make them feel much better, not to mention that there were many small animals in the valley, making it a vibrant place full of life.

Han Yao's gaze was fixed on the spirit peach tree. She felt that this spirit peach tree was very unusual, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was so unusual about it.

"Greetings, Senior Sister and all the other senior sisters. Welcome to my Bixia Valley. Let's sit down and chat on the lakeside platform," Ye Liuyun said as he stepped forward to greet them.

Many people were seeing Ye Liuyun for the first time. To be honest, at first glance, they felt that Ye Liuyun didn't seem like the kind of person who liked to cause trouble. She had such a graceful figure and a gentle temperament like a married woman, not at all like a body cultivator.

Because in their eyes, a body cultivator should at least be in the state of those women from Lei Yunfeng.

However, the Ye Liuyun they imagined was a completely different person from the one they actually saw.

The group nodded to Ye Liuyun, and then greeted Lin Aoxue.

After all, in their eyes, Ye Liuyun was just an ordinary inner disciple, whose status was not as high as theirs. But Lin Aoxue was different; she was a direct disciple of the main peak, a level above Han Yao.

After exchanging greetings, they sat down on the pavilion.

"Senior sisters, what brings you here to offer your guidance?" Ye Liuyun asked after everyone had sat down.

Han Yao answered first.

"It's not me looking for you, but these junior sisters. Let me introduce you. This is He Jun and Junior Sister He, this is Junior Sister Milanmi, and this is Junior Sister Sun Xiang. These three are the strongest disciples of our Caiyun Peak besides Junior Sister Lan Xinxue and me."

Ye Liuyun was taken aback. She quickly deduced their purpose in her mind. After all, they had come all at once, and with so many powerful disciples, it must be no small matter.

"Hello, Senior Sister He, Senior Sister Mi, Senior Sister Sun." Ye Liuyun greeted them politely again.

However, He Jun did not give Ye Liuyun a friendly look.

"Hehe, Junior Sister Ye is certainly enjoying herself, staying in this beautiful Bixia Valley, oblivious to everything else," He Jun said sarcastically.
