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

The event is divided into several stages and lasts for a long time. There will be eliminations layer by layer, so it is not possible for everyone to actually participate in the Nanling Grand Event.

First of all, apart from the direct forces of the Supreme Response Sect, everyone else who wants to obtain an entry ticket needs to pass a test. However, forces like the Cloud Sect do not need to obtain an entry ticket, which can be considered a special privilege of the Supreme Response Sect.

In other words, Ye Liuyun and his group were exempted from the first test, which was called the Heavenly Gate Trial. Only by passing the Heavenly Gate could they truly participate in the Southern Ridge Gathering. This test would eliminate a large number of disciples with poor aptitude, similar to the Ascension Path of the Cloud Mist Sect.

The Taishang Ganying Sect has set up several assessment checkpoints, but the later checkpoints and trials can only be discovered after entering the Heavenly Gate.

Soon, only three days remained until the Nanling Grand Gathering, but on this day, Ye Liuyun suddenly received an unexpected message from Jin Xiangrui.

Jin Xiangrui actually knew that Ye Liuyun had become a disciple of the Yun Sect. Moreover, Jin Xiangrui had been promoted from Silent City to Yunhai City. Jin Xiangrui arranged to meet Ye Liuyun at Wanbaolou in Yunhai City, saying that she had something to discuss with him.

Ye Liuyun was not quite sure how Jin Xiangrui knew his identity. Since Jin Xiangrui knew that Ye Liuyun was in the Yun Sect, she must also know that Ye Liuyun was a disciple of the Yunxia Sect before.

So Ye Liuyun didn't try to hide it. It just so happened that she also wanted to go to Yunhai City to see how it differed from Silent City.

Yunzong was not far from Yunhai City. Ye Liuyun, riding Liusu, quickly arrived at the outside of a city that was shrouded in an array. This Yunhai City was hidden in a huge valley in the Yunhai Mountains. Only cultivators could enter, and mortals could not.

Ye Liuyun, sitting on the tassel, passed through the array barrier and arrived outside a beautiful and magnificent city.

"Wow! This is Cloudsea City! It's really much more magnificent than Silent City. Liusu, let's go down." Ye Liuyun patted Liusu's head.

Liu Su quickly stopped at the entrance of Yunhai City. This place has a powerful anti-flying array, so even cultivators at the Four Extremes Secret Realm cannot fly inside the city. If all cultivators could fly freely, the city would have been in chaos long ago.

The number of cultivators entering and leaving Cloud Sea City is several times that of Silent City. Here, Dao Palace cultivators are quite common.

However, since it is a cultivator market, the facilities are naturally similar to those in Silent City. But this place is exclusively for the Cloud Sect, unlike Silent City where it is jointly managed by four sects. Here, the Cloud Sect has absolute dominance.

As soon as Ye Liuyun arrived at the city gate, the guards there saw him.

"Hey? Isn't that Senior Sister Ye? Oh my god, I saw Senior Sister Ye! Senior Sister Ye is my idol!" The outer disciple of Yun Sect guarding the city gate exclaimed in surprise as soon as he saw Ye Liuyun walking over.

The other cultivators entering and leaving Cloudsea City were also amazed when they saw Ye Liuyun; his aura was becoming increasingly captivating.

That confident aura, combined with a pure and gentle face and a mature and voluptuous figure, is an absolute temptation of pure desire; to put it bluntly, it's both innocent and sexy.

"How beautiful! Is she a fairy from the Cloud Sect? But it's strange, why is this fairy's cultivation only at the early stage of the Spirit Stream Realm? Judging from her attire, she should be a core disciple of the Cloud Sect." Many cultivators who knew the Cloud Sect were both surprised and confused by Ye Liuyun.

"Greetings, Senior Sister Ye." The outer disciples quickly bowed and greeted Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun smiled slightly.

"Yes, fellow disciples and junior sisters, there's no need to be so polite. You've all worked hard on your mission."

Ye Liuyun's smile almost bewitched the male disciples. There was no way around it; when the allure reached a certain level, it was equivalent to having cultivated a seductive art.

Every word and smile she uttered was full of allure, something Ye Liuyun could no longer control. Beautiful, strong, and easygoing, such a woman was a beautiful sight wherever she went.

Ye Liuyun is currently ranked second on the Yun Sect's list of beauties. Ironically, almost all of the top 100 beauties on the Yun Sect's list are men in disguise, while Lin Aoxue is ranked third.

In fact, Lin Aoxue's looks are definitely not much worse than Ye Liuyun and Tantai Mingyue. It's just a matter of temperament and personality. She is a big iceberg that people don't want to approach. No matter how beautiful she is, she is not easy to get along with.

"Senior Sister, is there something you need to do in Yunhai City?" one of the disciples asked.

"Well, I'm going to the Nanling Grand Gathering in a few days, so I came to Yunhai City to see what I need. Alright, I'll go in first, you guys get back to your work," Ye Liuyun replied with a smile.

After speaking, Ye Liuyun entered the city with a smile. After Ye Liuyun left, the disciples of the Yun Sect put away their smiles and glared at the passersby cultivators who were unable to move their feet by the roadside.

"What are you looking at? Stop blocking the doorway, your eyes are practically popping out of their sockets," a Yun Sect disciple scolded.

After this rebuke, the passing cultivators sheepishly withdrew their gazes and left.

After entering Cloudsea City, one finds it bustling with activity. The streets are much wider and more open than those of Silent City, and it's not as crowded as Silent City.

"Wow! This place is definitely much more upscale than Silent City," Ye Liuyun exclaimed, then looked around and found that Wanbaolou was in a very conspicuous location.

Sure enough, after searching around for a while, Ye Liuyun found a magnificent complex of buildings. Without even looking, he knew this was the Wanbao Tower, which was three or four times larger than the Wanbao Tower in Silent City.

Ye Liuyun did not go in directly, but contacted Jin Xiangrui first. A moment later, a woman wearing a gold and red glass dress, with a charming yet dignified temperament, walked out of the inner pavilion.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Jin Xiangrui. Jin Xiangrui searched everywhere but couldn't find anyone for a long time. It wasn't until Ye Liuyun waved to her that Jin Xiangrui walked up to Ye Liuyun with an incredulous expression.

She looked Ye Liuyun up and down, then tentatively asked a question.

"Young Master Ye, is that you?"

Ye Liuyun chuckled.

"Hehe, Master Jin, you didn't expect that, did you? Originally, I wanted to turn into a man again to see you, but after thinking about it, I decided against it," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Jin Xiangrui could only manage a bitter smile. Looking at the woman in front of her who was prettier than herself, Jin Xiangrui felt somewhat disappointed. Although they had investigated Ye Liuyun's identity, she had still held onto a sliver of hope.

I just never expected that Ye Liuyun was actually a woman.

Ye Liuyun noticed the fleeting disappointment in Jin Xiangrui's eyes, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Ahem, Master Jin, what brings you here? Is it to trade pills?" Ye Liuyun coughed a few times.

"Hmm, why don't we go in and sit for a while?" Jin Xiangrui suggested after thinking for a moment.

Ye Liuyun nodded and followed Jin Xiangrui inside. No one knows what they talked about, but Ye Liuyun came out half an hour later.

"What a hassle." Ye Liuyun sighed, then returned directly to Yunzong. She didn't linger in Yunhai City; she would have plenty of time after the Nanling Grand Gathering.

As for what Jin Xiangrui said to her, to put it bluntly, it was still about cooperation, but Ye Liuyun needed to consider this matter.

And so, three days passed.

"The once-every-three-hundred-years-old Nanling Grand Gathering is officially beginning. All outstanding talents in Nanling under the age of 200 are requested to go to the Tianyi Mountain Range in Nanling to register for the event. Registration will be open for one week, and latecomers will not be accepted." A clear and majestic female voice resounded throughout Nanling, but only cultivators could hear her voice.

This means that the Nanling Grand Event has officially begun.

Chapter 321 The Grand Event Begins (6000 words)

The training ground at the main peak of Yun Sect.

Today, all disciples and high-ranking members of the Yun Sect have gathered here.

The atmosphere was extremely solemn, and the hundred people standing at the front were the real protagonists of the day. These hundred people were dressed in all sorts of clothes, not the attire of sect disciples.

According to the rules of the Taishang Ganying Sect, disciples participating in the Nanling Grand Gathering represent themselves, not the sect, and are not allowed to wear sect disciples' robes.

What does it mean?

In other words, even if you are a cultivator from a sect, your participation in the Southern Ridge Gathering represents personal interests and personal honor. Of course, this is only what the Supreme Response Sect requires for the sake of so-called fairness and justice.

The quotas they granted to Yunzong and Yunxiazong were obtained through back channels, but this was kept secret within their own interest group.

This formality still had to be maintained, so the Yun Sect disciples who attended the Nanling Grand Gathering all wore their own personal attire. And you know what? Wearing their own clothes, it was quite a sight to behold!

But the most captivating characters are still those three: Tantai Mingyue, Ye Liuyun, and Lin Aoxue.

Tantai Mingyue, dressed in a light purple dress, with her long, black hair flowing down her back without any styling, held her purple jade zither in her arms, standing there quietly with her eyes closed, looking incredibly beautiful.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue looked like a pair of sisters with completely different temperaments and personalities. Lin Aoxue wore a simple white dress, exuding a strong sense of female knight-errant, while Ye Liuyun wore a flowing red dress that was both elegant and sexy.

The clothes seemed to possess a peculiar magic. As Ye Liuyun stood there, she exuded a captivating power that drew the attention of most of the less resolute disciples around her.

"Senior Sister Ye looks so beautiful today, I think she's even prettier than Senior Sister Tantai."

"Yes, I don't know why, but I feel that Senior Sister Ye has a charming temperament that she doesn't usually have. The Senior Sister Ye I usually see is like a lotus emerging from the water, but today she is like a beautiful, silent pink rose."

Ye Liuyun put her arm around Lin Aoxue's and leaned against her, her face full of joy. Today, she gave off the feeling of a young bride-to-be.

"Hey, hey, hey! You're so shameless! No wonder there's a saying in my past life: when a man gets slutty, women have nothing to do with him. Why are you suddenly acting up again?" Lin Aoxue said to Ye Liuyun beside her with a dark face.

The reason I'm so charming today is because of the Seven Illusions Glass Dress I'm wearing. This dress itself amplifies the wearer's charm in the eyes of others.

People who like a pure and innocent appearance will see Ye Liuyun as pure and innocent. To put it bluntly, their feelings about Ye Liuyun will be reflected in their perception of him.

These clothes are very useful. Ye Liuyun originally wanted to give them to Lin Aoxue, but Lin Aoxue was too shy and didn't want to wear them, so Ye Liuyun naturally had to make use of them.

Her temperament was perfectly suited to this outfit. Her appearance and demeanor were already highly deceptive, and wearing this outfit amplified that deception several times over. Even the female cultivators found it hard to resist Ye Liuyun's charm.

Because of Ye Liuyun's participation in the sect conference, he has become an idol in the hearts of many female cultivators. As long as they develop feelings of love for Ye Liuyun, they will also be captivated by him.

Once beauty reaches a certain level, it transcends gender. It's normal that few people present looked at Ye Liuyun; there's no way around it, as long as one has emotions and desires, it's difficult to completely resist the power of the Seven Illusions Glazed Skirt.

However, there were a few who were completely unaffected. The first was Tantai Mingyue. She was either looking at people or Lin Aoxue. As for Ye Liuyun, he might not be her type, so she was completely unmoved. Then there was Murong Huan. This guy was immune to mental attacks because of his Thousand-Year Eye.

"Tch, isn't this just making you look good? So many people are watching me, doesn't this better demonstrate your discerning eye?" Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

"Pfft! Can you be serious for once? 'You're calling yourself 'this humble servant'? It's giving me goosebumps." Lin Aoxue's hair stood on end.

But in reality, Ye Liuyun was speaking very normally. It was the power of the clothes that corrected the language spoken by the user. You can understand it as an illusion of the five senses.

The power of the Seven Illusions Glazed Skirt can affect the six senses of humans: sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste, and consciousness. Unless one's soul power is higher than Ye Liuyun's, even one's consciousness cannot see through the power of this dress.

Even if a man wore this outfit, he would be incredibly alluring, regardless of gender. Of course, no man would be that perverted.

"There's nothing I can do. These clothes were specially made by Wanbaolou for the women in their family to use in business. They have a built-in sensory correction effect, which will correct some language and words, making women more charming and feminine. Only those who have absolutely no interest in me can remain unaffected," Ye Liuyun said with a smile.

Lin Aoxue naturally knew how terrifying this outfit was; after all, she had tried it on and found that what she said was different from what she heard.

She knew what Ye Liuyun wanted to do, but she just couldn't stand his style. However, Ye Liuyun himself seemed to be having a lot of fun.

"Disciples who are participating in the Nanling Grand Gathering, it is time for you to set off. According to the rules, you are all representing your respective sects on the surface, so you cannot openly represent the Yun Sect. However, as long as you achieve a ranking in the Nanling Grand Gathering or are noticed by a higher sect, then you will be the greatest blessing for the Yun Sect."

"I wish you all great success at the Nanling Grand Gathering. Today, you are proud of Yun Sect, and perhaps one day, the sect will be proud of you. I entrust this to you all. The next hundred years of Yun Sect depend on you," Fang Mingyu said solemnly.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the disciples of the Cloud Sect suddenly shouted in unison.

"Please, fellow senior brothers and sisters, for the glory of our Yun Sect, we here in the sect wish you a triumphant return."

As Ye Liuyun listened to the cheers of the crowd around him, a unique emotion welled up in his heart—a sense of pride.

In fact, Ye Liuyun didn't need to care about Yunzong's opinion at all. As long as she went, once the Taishang Ganying Sect took a liking to her, she could completely ignore Yunzong's threat and join the Taishang Ganying Sect directly.

However, after careful consideration, Ye Liuyun decided against it. She had an endless lifespan, and climbing too high all at once would actually be very boring. She knew that the Yun Sect was facing a century-long crisis, and it was precisely because of this century-long crisis that the Yun Sect wanted to control the four lower-level sects, including the Yunxia Sect.

Everything has a cause and effect; we cannot view these issues from only one perspective.

Ye Liuyun was actually playing it like a simulation game. If it's just a game, what's the point of playing it all in one go?

"Alright, you may set off now. The Grand Elder and the others have already gone to Tianyi City to arrange accommodations for you," Fang Mingyu said finally.

Upon hearing this, Murong Huan and the others took to the air and flew towards the Tianyi Mountain Range where the Supreme Response Sect was located. Ye Liuyun also greeted Meng Xian'er and the others immediately, and then took out an exquisitely crafted ship-shaped flying magic weapon.

Ye Liuyun inserted a spirit stone into the energy slot, then carried Lin Aoxue into the sky and flew after Murong Huan and the others.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's cultivation levels are not as high as theirs, so their flight speed is definitely slower. Besides, they have a week to go, so there's no need to be in a hurry.

This flying magic weapon was exchanged by Ye Liuyun at the Yunzong market not long ago. The spaceship quickly traversed the Yunzong sky and disappeared into the clouds, then moved forward at a steady speed above the sea of ​​clouds.

"Ah, that feels good. Aoxue, at this speed, we should be able to reach Tianyi Mountain Range within three days, right?" Ye Liuyun asked, standing at the bow of the ship and watching the sun gradually rise from the horizon of the sea of ​​clouds.

"Yeah, pretty much. Although we have combat power close to the Dao Palace Nascent Soul Realm, we can't compare to them in terms of flight speed. They can probably get there in a day, but we can't," Lin Aoxue said from the side.

However, Lin Aoxue's mood wasn't particularly good, because if nothing unexpected happened, she would be separated from Ye Liuyun for a while after attending the Nanling Grand Gathering.

But actually, they won't be separated for long. Once her cultivation level is high enough, it will be easy for her to come to Yunzong to see Ye Liuyun.

In fact, for Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue was a burden because she was immortal and could do whatever she wanted. What Ye Liuyun was afraid of was that it would affect Lin Aoxue.

During the time Lin Aoxue was by his side, Ye Liuyun didn't research new pills much anymore. He couldn't help it, for fear of causing some big trouble and dragging Lin Aoxue down with him.

"Hey, Junior Sister Lin, Junior Sister Ye, you two aren't in a hurry at all. Would it be convenient for your senior brother to hitch a ride?" Just as Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were sighing, a voice that annoyed Ye Liuyun came again.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan, dressed in a black robe with gold patterns, appeared at the edge of their spaceship and flew at the same speed as it.

Ye Liuyun secretly rolled her eyes, then looked to her right with a smile.

"Oh, it's Senior Brother Jiang. My sister and I are of low cultivation and can't fly as fast as you senior brothers and sisters, so we won't hold you up any longer," Ye Liuyun said with a forced smile.

But Jiang Yan is still very shameless.

“Oh dear, the journey to Tianyi Mountain Range is long and arduous. My two junior sisters are so beautiful, they’re bound to encounter some scoundrels along the way. With your senior brother by your side, I can be your protector,” Jiang Yan continued.

Lin Aoxue, standing to the side, was incredibly annoyed. In her opinion, Jiang Yan was even more infuriating than Tantai Mingyue. How could he have designs on her husband? If she could, she really wanted to beat him up.

"No need, my sister and I are used to being alone together. Senior Brother Jiang, you should leave now," Lin Aoxue said impatiently.

Jiang Yan was immediately embarrassed. He didn't know why, but he always felt that Lin Aoxue was very hostile towards him. However, there was nothing he could do. Neither of the sisters wanted him to get on the ship, so he could only let it go.

"Alright then, we'll meet in Tianyi City." Jiang Yan sighed helplessly, then transformed into a streak of fire, disappearing from Ye Liuyun and the other person's sight in an instant, like a rocket.

But the annoying fellow wasn't over yet. After a while, someone else came, this time it was Tantai Mingyue.

"Junior sisters, could you give me a ride?" Tantai Mingyue asked Lin Aoxue with a gentle smile.

To be honest, this Tantai Mingyue is really beautiful. If Ye Liuyun didn't have feelings for Lin Aoxue, he really wouldn't have been able to refuse her.

"Um, Senior Sister Tantai, I'm sorry, my sister and I have some things to take care of on the way, so it's not appropriate for us to have you come along," Ye Liuyun politely declined.

Upon hearing this, Tantai Mingyue sighed softly, then said goodbye and transformed into a streak of purple light, disappearing into the horizon of the sea of ​​clouds.

But after a while, another spaceship approached Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue's spaceship. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Han Yao and her group.
