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

That's good, at least we won't run into acquaintances. It would be very awkward if we did run into someone we knew on the field.

"It's good that it's not one round, Junior Sister Ye. We'll be going now. We hope you can advance to the next round." Pei Qian said this wish, and then flew to her own fighting arena.

Meng Xian'er and the others then left one after another.

In no time, only one hundred people remained on Arena Number One.

Among these one hundred people, the strongest on the surface are Xiao Se, a seed from Ziyun Peak, and Meng Chuan, a direct disciple of Qingyun Peak.

There were also several Dao Palace Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. They came from the six major sects, and almost none of them were at the Dao Palace Foundation Establishment stage. Apart from Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun, the two oddballs, the worst among them were at the Dao Palace Core Formation stage.

Of course, there are still a small number of Dao Palace Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, scattered across ten locations.

"Hehe, it's nothing, Junior Sister Lin. I didn't expect to be assigned to the same match as you. I was quite dissatisfied with my loss to you last time," a handsome young man holding a purple jade flute said with a slight smile as he approached Lin Aoxue.

He was Xiao Se, a seed of Ziyun Peak. In the last battle between people of the same realm, he was defeated by Lin Aoxue.

"Sigh! Actually, it's impossible for the sect to let us run into them. Let's just look forward to the Southern Ridge Gathering." Lin Aoxue said calmly.

"Huh? That makes sense." Xiao Se thought about it and realized that it did make sense.

However, as he spoke, his gaze fell on Ye Liuyun.

"Eh? This must be the famous Ye Liuyu, Junior Sister Ye. Nice to meet you. I am Xiao Se." Xiao Se greeted Ye Liuyun with a smile.

"Hello, Senior Brother Xiao," Ye Liuyun replied with a faint smile.

Xiao Se gave a perfunctory greeting and didn't say anything more to Ye Liuyu.

As the disciples arrived at their respective arenas, the referee elder of Arena Number One also arrived. Moreover, it was an acquaintance—Qin Su, the liaison elder of their Yunxia Sect.

"Disciples, I am Qin Su. I will be the referee on the No. 1 Dao Discussion Platform. I hope you will all abide by the rules. If you do not, I will strictly enforce the sect rules." After introducing himself, Qin Su reminded everyone with a serious expression.

This is a warning to some people with ulterior motives, after all, it's not impossible for some people to take risks for rewards.

After she finished tapping, she took out a roster, because the competition was about to begin.

"Everyone, step back outside the debating platform. Disciples whose numbers are called, go up to the platform and prepare for battle," Qin Su instructed.

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly retreated to the edge of the area.

"By the way, was her order of going on stage random, or was it arranged in advance?" Ye Liuyun asked Lin Aoxue curiously.

However, before Lin Aoxue could speak, Qin Su suddenly called out two numbers.

"Disciple number one and disciple number two, please come up to the stage."

With this announcement, Lin Aoxue didn't need to answer, because it was clear that they were arranged according to their numbers.

"Huh? This..." Ye Liuyun was stunned. Why was she the first one to go on stage?

Seeing this, Lin Aoxue looked at Ye Liuyun with a face full of sympathy.

"Keep it up, do your best, and do your best," Lin Aoxue encouraged with a smile.

Ye Liuyun rolled her eyes. She was sure this was Yunzong's doing. If she wasn't mistaken, the higher-ups of Yunzong wanted to see just how strong her fighting ability really was.

Moreover, they certainly didn't want Ye Liuyun to participate in the Nanling Grand Gathering, so in addition to letting Ye Liuyun go first, they also arranged a very strong opponent for him.

Ye Liuyun reluctantly went on stage, and many people were puzzled as soon as she stepped onto the stage.

"This? No way, a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator? Why would a Spirit Stream Realm cultivator participate in the sect conference?" Even though Ye Liuyun is so famous, there are still some people who don't recognize her.

However, someone soon provided him with the answer.

"Don't you know her? She is Ye Liuyu from Caiyun Peak, the older sister of Senior Sister Lin Aoxue. I heard that she is a rare body cultivator, so her Qi Refining cultivation is not high."

As soon as these words were spoken, the person understood what was going on.

However, Ye Liuyun's opponent is quite interesting, because this opponent was arranged by the Yun Sect's higher-ups. The opponent that the Yun Sect's higher-ups arranged for Ye Liuyun happened to be a Dao Palace Nascent Soul Realm peak cultivator from Fire Cloud Peak.

"Hahaha, interesting. It's you. You're the one who bullied our Fire Cloud Peak disciples, right? I went to your Rainbow Cloud Peak to look for you the day before yesterday, and I heard you were hiding in your residence. Let's see how you hide this time." The female disciple from Fire Cloud Peak looked at Ye Liuyun with a cold expression.

This woman was one of the leaders of the last attack on the disciples of Caiyun Peak; her name is Gu Hongyue.

When Ye Liuyun saw that his opponent was a woman from Huoyun Peak, his face twitched immediately.

Ye Liuyun looked at his opponent, speechless.

"Are you kidding me? Yun Zong really thinks highly of me, giving me such a powerful opponent. Are they deliberately trying to prevent me from advancing?" Ye Liuyun thought to himself.

This is too obvious. Since it was the opponent arranged by Yun Zong, it already explains everything. Of course, Yun Zong had no intention of hiding their intentions at all.

"What else did you think? You're used by the Yun Sect to keep Lin Aoxue in check. They definitely don't want you to go to the Nanling Grand Gathering. What if the Taishang Ganying Sect takes a liking to you? What, scared? Not confident you can beat them?" Lin Qingyou teased with a smile.

Ye Liuyun wasn't afraid, but given the current situation, if she won this stage, she might send even stronger disciples to deal with her in the next stage.

This means she'll have to reveal more of her cards if she wants to attend the Nanling Grand Gathering.

Lin Aoxue remained expressionless upon seeing this scene, because Yunzong had actually informed her in advance that they did not want Ye Liuyun to participate in the Nanling Grand Gathering, and therefore would prevent her from attending the sect conference.

She couldn't refute it, but she felt that Ye Liuyun definitely had a way to win.

Let's take another look at the main hall of the sect.

"Sect Master, weren't we being too obvious in our obstruction? We deliberately let her go on stage first and even arranged such a formidable opponent for her. Aren't we afraid Lin Aoxue will be angry?" Su Ying asked, looking at Ye Liuyun in the Xuan Guang Mirror.

But Fire Spirit immediately retorted.

"You're not a child, how could you not understand such a simple principle? However, Sect Master, I have a question, what if Ye Liuyu wins?"

Huo Ling's words reminded everyone what they should do if Ye Liuyu really qualified to participate in the Nanling Grand Gathering.

Fang Mingyu and the others hadn't really thought about this problem.

"I haven't thought about this question, but if she really can break through our obstacles, then it can only mean that she has abilities we don't know about. Let's just let things take their course." Fang Mingyu wasn't the type to force things.

After Qin Su saw the two of them come on stage, she carefully observed them. She was sure she knew Ye Liuyun, but she didn't expect that Ye Liuyun, whom she had underestimated, was actually a powerful body cultivator. According to their investigation, Ye Liuyun had the combat power to fight against a Dao Palace Core Formation Realm cultivator. She also wanted to see if Ye Liuyun had the ability to pass the first test.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get ready to begin," Qin Su announced.

"Wait a minute."

Just as Qin Su called for the start, Ye Liuyun suddenly spoke first, interrupting Qin Su.

This left Gu Hongyue, who was eager to fight, stunned.

"Wait a minute? Little girl, what do you mean? Are you scared?" Gu Hongyue asked, frowning.

Ye Liuyun gently shook his head at Gu Hongyue, then walked up to Qin Su.

Qin Su was somewhat confused about what Ye Liuyun was up to.

"Elder Qin, it's been a while," Ye Liuyun said, bowing.

"Well, just say what you have to say. The competition can't be delayed for too long," Elder Qin said.

Ye Liuyun didn't mince words, but whispered a few words to Elder Qin. Ye Liuyun was asking whether his combat pills were considered pills or consumable magic items.

Because the rules of the sect conference prohibit the use of healing, recovery, and enhancement pills.

Elder Qin was stunned after hearing Ye Liuyun's explanation, because she had never heard of pills that could be used as consumable magic items. However, as long as the rules were followed, only three types of pills were prohibited: healing, recovery, and enhancement pills. Other types were not prohibited.

So she nodded to Ye Liuyun, indicating that there was no problem.

Ye Liuyun smiled when he heard that his battle pills were fine. If that was the case, then it was simple.

Qin Su still doesn't understand the power of Ye Liuyun's pills. She'll probably be shocked when she sees them later.

After speaking, Ye Liuyun returned to the opposite side of Gu Hongyue.

"Alright, I'm ready. We can start anytime," Ye Liuyun said carefully.

Gu Hongyue was extremely displeased with Ye Liuyun's dismissive attitude towards her.

"Damn it, what kind of attitude is this? How can you still laugh in front of a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm?" Gu Hongyue decided to do something ruthless.

"The match begins." After announcing this, Qin Su left the stage.

With this departure, Gu Hongyue made the first move.

"Fire Technique - Phoenix Wings Soaring in the Sky." Gu Hongyue raised her hand and waved it, causing a large amount of flames to erupt from her body, condensing into a fire phoenix behind her.

The phoenix emitted a scorching heat and a piercing cry, and then, with Gu Hongyue waving her hand, spread its wings and flew towards Ye Liuyun.

This woman unleashed a fire-attribute technique at the Dao Palace level, its power immense enough to instantly kill an ordinary Foundation Establishment stage Dao Palace cultivator.

The fire phoenix rolled in with a massive, flood-like sea of ​​fire, essentially sealing off Ye Liuyun's escape route. Unless she withdrew herself, she had no choice but to withstand the onslaught.

"You're really not being polite." Ye Liuyun looked around and realized there was no way to escape.

She directly activated the Glazed Jade Body, enveloping herself, and at the same time circulated her internal energy to add another layer of defense to herself.

Then he charged straight into the sea of ​​fire.

"Huh? Some kind of body-refining method?" Qin Su saw that Ye Liuyun's body was suddenly filled with cold air, but there was no fluctuation of magic power, so she knew that this must be some kind of body-refining method.

"You're courting death! How dare you take my fire spell head-on?" Gu Hongyue was stunned for a moment when she saw Ye Liuyun advance instead of retreating, but she immediately felt that Ye Liuyun was overestimating himself.

Everyone around Ye Liuyun stared intently as he charged into the sea of ​​fire. The fire seemed to crash into an iceberg, releasing a large amount of scalding air.

The airflow forced those nearby to exert their strength to resist it.

"Did they hold on, or did they not?" the crowd murmured, looking at the fog-shrouded area.

Gu Hongyue looked at the thick fog surrounding her and gradually narrowed her eyes, because she could sense her own attack, which seemed to have been neutralized by a force.

"Eh? This is bad." Gu Hongyue's eyes trembled, and she quickly channeled her magic power to throw a punch to the side.

A figure broke through the thick fog from the side and appeared in Gu Hongyue's line of sight.

Gu Hongyue reacted quickly; her fist collided directly with Ye Liuyun's palm.

"Falling Flower Palm." Ye Liuyun wanted to use the characteristics of his Falling Flower Palm to inject cold energy and internal force into Gu Hongyue's body.

Gu Hongyue was quite surprised after catching the palm strike.

"Such powerful strength, at least at the Core Formation stage of the Dao Palace. Moreover, her palm strike contained a penetrating force, injecting a chill and another strange power into my body."

Seeing her palms turning purple, Gu Hongyue immediately pushed hard, and a burst of magical power sent Ye Liuyun flying, causing his blood and qi to churn violently.

As for Gu Hongyue, she quickly used her own power to clear away the cold air and internal energy.

However, Ye Liuyun still managed to withstand it stubbornly; her resistance was stronger than her attack power.

After landing, Ye Liuyun only staggered a few steps before regaining his balance.

"This? She only took a few steps back after taking my magical attack at such close range? What a powerful physique! Is this what body cultivation is all about? It seems I underestimated this woman. I need to take her seriously, or she might find an opening." The woman took a deep breath and then drew a blazing sword.

This is a high-grade spiritual weapon with fire attribute.

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

When Ye Liuyun saw the woman take out a weapon, she immediately grinned. It wasn't a mystical weapon, so she wasn't afraid of it.

"What, you're going to use your treasures so soon? Afraid of losing?" Ye Liuyun mocked.

Gu Hongyue didn't want to say anything more, but casually swung her sword, and streaks of fiery sword light slashed towards Ye Liuyun. The sword light attack was very fast.

Ye Liuyun also took out her Myriad Medicines Cauldron. She held the Myriad Medicines Cauldron in front of her, letting Gu Hongyue's sword light fall on the cauldron.

"Bang, bang..." The sword light smashed the medicine cauldron with a loud bang, but it couldn't leave a single sword mark on the cauldron.

"What a hard cauldron! Is this also a magic weapon? But it doesn't seem to have any magical energy fluctuations." Gu Hongyue was stunned again.

She kept increasing her strength, trying to break through the defense of the Myriad Medicines Immortal Cauldron, but no matter how much she increased her strength, she could only shake Ye Liuyun back slowly.

This isn't a solution; it will only waste her magical power.

"This is outrageous!" Gu Hongyue abandoned using her magic and flew over again, preparing to continue fighting Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun noticed Gu Hongyue approaching him and quickly kicked the medicine cauldron. The huge cauldron crashed towards Gu Hongyue, who dodged it, and the cauldron grazed her body as it flew past.

"Hmph! This cauldron is strange; we must not confront it head-on," Gu Hongyue judged.

However, she dodged the medicine cauldron, but Ye Liuyun's attack arrived.

"Mount Tai pressing down on you."

Ye Liuyun himself appeared above Gu Hongyue, put his hands together, and smashed them down towards Gu Hongyue.

"Eh?" Gu Hongyue was forced to raise her sword to block.

Ye Liuyun's hands slammed into her sword like iron hammers, causing her hands to tremble uncontrollably.
