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

Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party had actually backed down.

"Oh dear, it seems that having a high-level qualification has its advantages." Yan Yu reached out and touched her brow, then smiled and reached for the token. But the moment she grabbed the token, a problem arose: a vortex of quicksand suddenly appeared beneath her feet.

"Huh? A trap?" Yan Yu's expression froze. She tried to get off the ground, but unfortunately, the quicksand trap was extremely sticky. Before long, she was dragged into the quicksand vortex.

Of course, they weren't eliminated, but rather forcibly brought to an underground palace area by the quicksand vortex. Upon arriving here, Yan Yu discovered that there were quite a few people here, who must have been brought down by the quicksand trap.

There are also other tokens here.

By the way, the token here cannot be hidden; it will be displayed above your head, which tells others that you have a pass.

"Heh, another unlucky guy has come down. Earth-level aptitude? Impressive, an Earth-level aptitude at the Golden Core stage. I'd like to test what you've got with this Earth-level aptitude." A young man with Purple-level aptitude seemed to have his eye on Yan Yu.

Yan Yu's expression changed. This was not good news. Moreover, the other party attacked without warning, showing no intention of peaceful coexistence.

Yan Yu quickly retreated, but the opponent came crashing down like a cannonball, smashing the palace building where Yan Yu was standing to pieces.

"Huh? It's a woman? No fun, forget it." As soon as the fire-attribute youth got close to Yan Yu, he immediately realized that she was not a man at all, but a woman dressed as a man.

As this person was about to leave, it was clear that this world was still dominated by men. This was true in the secular world, and even in the cultivation world, though not as severe, it was still pretty much the same.

This is related to the education they received in the secular world. After all, many of them come from secular society, where there is an unwritten rule for men: a good man doesn't fight with a woman.

However, the young man's words angered Yan Yu. She hated this kind of tone the most, as she had been frequently looked down upon since becoming a woman.

She is a native of this world, not someone from an open world like Ye Liuyun.

Her male pride is definitely much stronger than Ye Liuyun's. There's no way around it; different environments shape different personalities.

Yan Yu raised his hand, drew his sword, and a sword light slashed towards the fire-attribute youth. The other party reacted quickly, dodging to the side, and then turned around with a dissatisfied expression.

"You think you can just leave after the attack? What do you take me for?" Yan Yu asked coldly.

"So what do you want? Who told you to dress like a man? If you dressed like a woman, I wouldn't even bother with you," the man said, arms crossed.

Yan Yu's lips twitched violently. She suddenly felt that the person in front of her was extremely annoying, and that contemptuous tone made her very angry.

"Ah! Fine, you don't want to attack me anymore, then I will attack you." As he spoke, a strong killing intent suddenly emanated from Yan Yu's body.

Don't forget, Yan Yu is a rogue cultivator, and she's no saint. As her killing intent surged, a crimson power emanated from Yan Yu's body.

At this moment, Yan Yu's aura and power increased several times over, and she was like a blood-soaked god of death. Her eyes were red and her thoughts were somewhat out of her control. All she wanted to do now was kill this annoying guy.

"Kill." Yan Yu raised his sword and slashed down at the man with a hundred-foot-long sword light.

Yan Yu's power suddenly surged several times over, causing a dramatic change in the fire-attribute youth.

The young man quickly raised his hand, and a large hand formed from flames gripped the blood-red sword light that was falling from the sky. However, he only managed to block it for a moment before he sensed something was wrong.

"Not good." His fiery hand was immediately sliced ​​open, and the sword light, radiating terrifying killing intent, fell towards his head.

The man was so frightened that he quickly dodged. As he dodged, the building beneath him was instantly blasted into ruins by the sword light. The other cultivators around him also quickly retreated, moving away from the battlefield between the two.

"What a terrifying aura! This woman's killing intent is so strong. As expected of someone with Earth-level talent, she actually managed to force back a Nascent Soul cultivator. This guy is in for trouble." The surrounding cultivators were both surprised and amused.

"Damn it, I don't hit women, but you asked for it." The fire-attribute youth knew that he couldn't just choose not to hit her now.

Yan Yu ignored what he was saying and instead unleashed another destructive sword light towards the opponent. This man already knew how powerful Yan Yu was; the opponent's power was strange and he couldn't confront it head-on.

Relying on his speed, he began to dodge and then looked for an opportunity to get close to Yan Yu.

"This power, such a strong killing intent! The sword light contains a destructive power. Could this be the Slaughter Body? Or the Slaughter Sword Intent? What do you think?" Tianyi and the others analyzed Yan Yu's methods.

However, Elder Tianjian shook his head directly.

"It's definitely not the killing sword intent, it should be the killing body, but it's hard to say," Elder Tianjian said.

Yan Yu grew increasingly irritated as the other party dodged and weaved.

"Keep dodging? What are you dodging for? Let's see how you dodge." The blood-red sword light in Yan Yu's hand suddenly increased several times in size. The fire-attribute youth didn't even have time to react before he was engulfed by the suddenly thickened sword light.

The young man immediately summoned his defensive magic weapon and tried his best to resist, but under this destructive power, his magic weapon and defense were useless and quickly shattered.

"No..." The young man roared in frustration and terror as he watched his treasure shatter.

He was eventually engulfed by the sword light, but he didn't die. When he came to his senses again, he found himself on a platform.

This is the interior of the Taishang Ganying Sect.

"Huh? You're not dead? What?" The young man quickly touched his body and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.

He looked around and found that there were already quite a few eliminated contestants here, all of whom had been eliminated in the second round.

"Fellow Daoist, would you be interested in joining our Heavenly Fire Peak?" Just as he was lost in thought, a young man wearing a fire-patterned Daoist robe approached.

They came before the young man.

Although he was eliminated, his purple-level aptitude is worthy of being accepted by the Supreme Response Sect. However, it is hard to say what specific status he will be given.

"Am I eliminated?" the young man who was eliminated by Yan Yu asked doubtfully.

"Yes, you've been eliminated, but don't be discouraged. If you'd like, you can become a junior disciple of our Heavenly Fire Peak," the Heavenly Fire Peak cultivator said again.

The young man immediately became unhappy upon hearing the word "junior disciple".

"What, a junior disciple? I'm a core disciple in our Cloud Sect." That's right, this unlucky young man is a cultivator from the Fire Cloud Peak of the Cloud Sect.

These guys are a nuisance wherever they go.

"Oh, a disciple of the Cloud Sect? Well then, considering we're from the same sect, I'll grant you the status of a mid-level disciple. What do you think?" The young man thought for a moment and then improved his treatment.

However, the disciples of Huoyun Peak are not idiots. They enjoy the treatment of core disciples in Yunzong, but when they go to Taishang Ganying Sect, they are only given the treatment of intermediate disciples. It is not worth it.

"Forget it, my aptitude isn't good enough, so I won't stay in the Upper Sect and embarrass myself. I wonder where I can leave?" the Yun Sect disciple asked.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling, the cultivator from Tianhuo Peak had no choice but to point out the teleportation array and tell her that she could leave by using it.

In the Taishang Ganying Sect, disciples are divided into four levels: junior disciple, intermediate disciple, senior disciple, core disciple, and personal disciple.

The treatment of intermediate disciples is definitely not as good as that of core disciples of the Cloud Sect. If you stay in the Supreme Response Sect, you will be an unknown person with a significantly lower status, unless you are at the advanced level or above, then you will have no hope.

One should not blindly join the Taishang Ganying Sect; the pros and cons need to be weighed.

If they stay in Yunzong, at the very least, the next generation can obtain the status of an elder or deacon.

The Supreme Response Sect basically doesn't invite cultivators with aptitude below the Blue Rank, or at the very least, the Blue Rank, and the only status they're given is that of a junior disciple.

Purple level disciples are either beginner or intermediate disciples; there are no higher levels.

After a while, several more cultivators appeared on the platform.

"Damn it, is this woman insane? We've already defeated the enemy, and she's still hacking people around like a madwoman. Why am I so unlucky?" Several cultivators with white-level aptitude cursed incessantly after regaining their senses.

They were all eliminated by Yan Yu.

At this moment, Yan Yu was wreaking havoc in that underground palace, eliminating almost all the cultivators present.

About ten minutes later, the blood energy in Yan Yu's body gradually dissipated.

As the blood and qi dissipated, she gradually calmed down.

"What's going on? What kind of power is this? It's making it impossible for me to control my body!" Yan Yu gasped for breath, lying on the ground and staring at his hands in shock.

The high-ranking members of the Taishang Ganying Sect stared blankly at Yan Yu on the projected image.

"This little girl is quite good; she's a promising talent for swordsmanship. She's perfect for my Heavenly Sword Peak," Elder Heavenly Sword said earnestly.

But someone immediately countered with a question.

"Then, Second Elder, you don't want that disciple with the Sword Heart Clarity anymore?"

This statement reminded Elder Tianjian that they had an agreement that each faction could only take away one promising talent with a Yellow-level or higher aptitude.

Chapter 337 Intercepting the Spoils (4000 words)

Despite the size of the Taishang Ganying Sect, with its large size and numerous members, it is difficult for a single lineage to cultivate multiple disciples with top-tier aptitude.

It's like when a pair of parents have twins. No matter what, the children's personalities and other factors will make it impossible for the parents to treat the two children completely fairly.

Therefore, the Supreme Response Sect always limits the number of disciples with Yellow-level or higher aptitude that it can recruit for its factions. Since Tianjian has chosen Yunxin, it is definitely not suitable for him to choose another disciple with Earth-level aptitude.

However, since no one has been eliminated yet, they are not in a hurry to poach them. If someone makes it to the end, then they won't be able to poach them as easily as they want.

Looking at the Chaotic Trial, Ye Liuyun kept moving towards Lin Aoxue's location, but Lin Qingyou told her that Lin Aoxue kept changing her position.

Given Ye Liuyun's speed, finding Lin Aoxue would be extremely difficult.

"Forget it, forget it. With Aoxue's abilities, I shouldn't worry about her not being able to clear the level. I'd better take care of myself first." Ye Liuyun didn't want to continue looking for Lin Aoxue; she felt she would run into her sooner or later.

However, the inability to fly became a disadvantage in this place. While others flew in the sky, she ran on the ground, feeling inferior, which was quite unpleasant.

As she watched people frequently flying overhead, Ye Liuyun felt a deep sense of jealousy.

There was no way around it; flying was too much trouble for her, and it wasn't practical at all.

"Huh? There seems to be something over there." Ye Liuyun noticed some energy fluctuations in the right corner of his eye, so he immediately used his Myriad Flower Eyes to take a look. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was something unusual in the sand.

According to the rules of the second round, the tokens for passing the level are hidden among monsters and some small secret realms. You can either kill the monsters to get the tokens or pass through the secret realms.

Monsters usually only have one piece, but there are usually multiple pieces in secret realms.

Sure enough, after defeating everyone else, Yan Yu obtained several more clearance tokens. Having more clearance tokens wouldn't hurt.

The more tokens you have, the higher your ranking. There are only 100,000 slots for the second stage. It's not that one token represents one slot; it depends on your ranking. The more tokens you have, the higher your ranking, and the safer you are.

With over 500,000 people, it's impossible to actually eliminate them down to just 100,000; that's unrealistic. Therefore, their ranking mechanism is based on ranking.

First, the more tokens you have, the higher your ranking. If the number of tokens is equal, then it depends on whose tokens have been held for longer.

Ye Liuyun stopped after arriving at the location, which was a quicksand area, probably similar to the space where Yan Yu was. After entering, he would encounter other trial participants.

"Master, this should be the small secret realm down here, right?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Mm." Lin Qingyou nodded.

After receiving confirmation from Lin Qingyou, Ye Liuyun chuckled and jumped down. To be honest, if he wasn't afraid of hurting his own people, Ye Liuyun probably would have thrown down a whole bunch of pills to eliminate everyone inside.

As Ye Liuyun jumped into the quicksand vortex, she soon arrived at a separate space. This place was like being in the starry sky, with large areas of buildings floating in the air, all connected by steps.

Ye Liuyun was currently standing on the platform in front of the last palace. As soon as she landed, she immediately took an invisibility pill and hid herself, because she noticed that there were many people here.

There are twelve palace complexes in total, and cultivators are fighting in each palace, presumably vying for the pass token. Not only that, but people are also constantly falling from above.

The number of access tokens for this secret realm is far greater than the number for Yan Yu's secret realm.

If you could get them all, you'd have at least a few dozen coins. Of course, getting several dozen coins at the same time is extremely difficult.

After concealing himself, Ye Liuyun stealthily arrived at the palace entrance and peeked inside. On the first floor of the palace, there was a chaotic battle involving more than a hundred people.

"Tsk tsk, it's good to have many people. It's perfect for taking advantage of the chaos and seeing if any of our own people are among them. It would be a sin to eliminate our own people." Ye Liuyun carefully observed the situation.

Upon closer inspection, she indeed spotted familiar faces: disciples from the Yunxia Sect, as well as disciples from three other lower-level sects.

"Disciples of the Cloud Mist Sect? That makes things difficult." Ye Liuyun spotted several familiar faces.

Because she knows people in these situations, it's not appropriate for her to launch large-scale attacks against them.

"This token is mine, get out of my way!" Inside, there was a cultivator with blue-level aptitude who indiscriminately attacked the surrounding cultivators, either knocking them away or eliminating them. There were three tokens on this first level.

"Get lost! Who do you think you are? Just because you say it's yours doesn't mean it is. I'll say it again: all the tokens in this secret realm are mine!" Just as the blue-level cultivator was about to grab the token, several sword lights slashed over from the other side, forcing him back.

The blue-level cultivator, who had been forced back, was furious. He disregarded his token and attacked the person who had attacked him.

This chaotic trial is exactly what it is—chaotic. If it were just a competition of who could eliminate the most people, it would be much simpler.

While you're grabbing the token, you also have to think about whether someone will attack you, or whether the token or your survival is more important. Theoretically, you can't do without either, but sometimes you have to make a choice.

Furthermore, here, it's impossible to pass the level without fighting and competing, especially for cultivators with low combat power.

"Fine, it seems you're not really interested in the tokens, so I won't be polite, hehe." Ye Liuyun secretly slipped in from the edge.

She pressed herself against the wall, slowly moving from the edge towards the token.

She hadn't taken more than a few steps when a figure flew towards her. Fortunately, Ye Liuyun reacted in time and dodged it. The person crashed heavily into the palace wall next to her.

The palaces here seem to be made of special materials. No matter what methods they use to attack, they cannot destroy the palace buildings. All they can see is the ever-expanding magical power and the cultivators flying around.

"Huh? Damn, you scared me." Ye Liuyun said with a sympathetic look at the young man whose picture was posted on the wall.

However, the young man was unharmed. After realizing what had happened, he cursed angrily and rushed back into the crowd.

"Hey! Why isn't anyone following my example? This second round is mainly about competing for tokens, not fighting. I don't understand." Ye Liuyun looked at the people fighting and was very confused.

It's not that Ye Liuyun can't understand; it's just that her way of thinking has gradually adapted to a female way of thinking.

She almost forgot that men are often impulsive. The chaotic trial of the second stage was indeed about fighting for tokens, but once a dispute broke out, most male cultivators' first reaction would probably be to kill the other party in the contest.
