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

Chapter 343 Zhou Xiao's Unlucky Days (6000 words)

Body cultivation is divided into pure body cultivation and simultaneous cultivation of body and Dharma. Simultaneous cultivation of body and Dharma is relatively common, but most of the time it is Dharma as the main focus and body as the secondary focus.

The reason is that the method is missing, or more accurately, the method for cultivating internal energy is lacking.

Those body-refining techniques were actually created based on some incomplete body-refining methods. Body cultivators also have attribute distinctions, but they are relatively rare in this era.

Ye Liuyun's Nine Revolutions Divine Power is attribute-free, and attribute-free body-refining methods are even rarer, and may not even exist in this era.

After all, Sun Yuan was a cultivator from the previous cultivation era.

Pure body cultivators are extremely rare, but today everyone saw a living pure body cultivator, so surprise and astonishment were inevitable.

Many people even had the idea of ​​going up to test Ye Liuyun's skills, since watching Ye Liuyun fight others was not as good as experiencing it firsthand.

Because during their cultivation journey, people often told them that physical cultivators in the ancient times were very strong, and it was difficult for cultivators of the same level to defeat them.

In this era, some cultivators who practice both physical and magical cultivation are clearly more powerful or have stronger combat capabilities than some pure magical cultivators.

Why is that? The simplest reason is reaction and speed. Most body cultivators are fast, have quick reactions, strong physical resistance to blows, and can endure longer because their bodies are their weapons.

For ordinary cultivators, once someone gets close, their only means of self-defense is to rely on defensive magic items and their own magical power.

In the cultivation of magic, unless someone specializes in speed, or is a lightning or wind attribute user, or is an earth attribute user.

For the other attributes, it would be very difficult to achieve a balanced confrontation with physical cultivators.

In a conflict between cultivators, once the balance is disrupted, it becomes a one-sided affair.

Of course, everyone knows that physical cultivation is powerful, so why don't others cultivate both physical and spiritual methods? This question can only be answered by considering one's opportunity and perseverance.

Ye Liuyun once said in his past life, "I give you a chance, but it's useless."

It's not that one can't cultivate both the physical body and the Dharma body, but rather that most cultivators can't even properly cultivate one Dharma system, so how can you expect them to cultivate both? That's unrealistic.

Ye Liuyun felt a surge of intense gazes from behind him, and a slight tension rose within him. Those gazes carried a provocative and combative intent.

Ye Liuyun glanced behind her and saw so many people staring at her with sharp eyes, which made her heart skip a beat.

That look in his eyes was exactly like the look a hungry wolf gives a little lamb.

"Cough cough." Ye Liuyun coughed a few times, then returned to Yue Lianxing's side.

"Let's go, let's go quickly," Ye Liuyun said hurriedly.

Yue Lianxing quickly followed Ye Liuyun away from the horse, but she kept staring at Ye Liuyun because, to be honest, she was very surprised at how Ye Liuyun, a woman, had managed to develop such a powerful physique.

Ye Liuyun's appearance undoubtedly brought forth a tough, strong woman among the otherwise delicate group of women.

Because in the education of this world, female cultivators are rarely taught to cultivate their physical bodies. There are basically no masters who would teach them that way. They would only teach female cultivators to avoid their weaknesses, focus on their strengths, and avoid direct physical contact when fighting with male cultivators.

Of course, there are definitely many female cultivators who don't believe in this, and the result is that they are completely defeated when they fight male cultivators of the same realm and attribute in close combat.

Don't be fooled by Ji Chunling's fierce fighting style. In reality, Ji Chunling focuses on speed and attack. She only knows how to finish off her enemies and won't actually engage in close combat with male cultivators of the same realm who are skilled in close-quarters fighting.

If you put her in close combat with Jiang Yan, she definitely wouldn't stand a chance.

Lin Aoxue also used speed to suppress her enemies, making it impossible for them to react. No matter how strong a physical body is, it can't just take a beating.

Of course, if you're like some earth-attribute cultivators who specialize in defense, that works too; you can slowly wear down your opponent.

"Hey! I'm suddenly starting to doubt again, were you really a man before? How did you train your body like that? You look so frail, with a thin waist, big breasts, and a big butt. You don't look like you have a strong physique at all." Yue Lianxing couldn't help but ask questions again.

This little girl's words were really unpleasant to hear, so Ye Liuyun wanted to annoy her again.

"Yeah, I was a man before, and a big, burly man at that, okay?" Ye Liuyun said unhappily.

Because in his previous life on Earth, some older women would say to plump young girls, "That figure is good for childbearing and suitable for having children."

These words actually carried a strange, indescribable flavor. Anyway, Ye Liuyun was fortunate enough to hear others say that Lin Aoxue was fertile.

Lin Aoxue's first reaction was displeasure, but Ye Liuyun, being a man, definitely wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Ye Liuyun was willing to admit that he was a man before, but Yue Lianxing was unwilling to believe it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! Even if you really are a man, your personality is completely unlike a man's. You're definitely lying to me. If you don't want to tell me how you cultivated your body, just say so. Don't tell me lies that challenge my intelligence," Yue Lianxing pouted and complained.

Ye Liuyun sighed heavily.

"Sigh! This is a classic case of no one believing the truth. Well, even I might not be able to connect myself with my past self in this state," Ye Liuyun sighed inwardly.

In fact, Ye Liuyun also noticed some problems. That is, her growth direction was opposite to that of Lin Aoxue. She became more and more like Lin Aoxue in her previous life, while Lin Aoxue's personality was more like Ye Liuyun in her previous life.

After walking for a while, Ye Liuyun and Yue Lianxing stopped because those tagalongs were still following behind.

"Hey, hey, hey... Fellow Daoists behind, if you want to snatch the tokens, just come up here. Can you please stop following us? Your behavior is making me feel very unsafe." Ye Liuyun stopped and turned to the crowd behind him, complaining.

Behind them, there were at least thirty or forty people flying in the sky and walking on the ground. It was unclear whether these thirty or forty people were curious about Ye Liuyun's token or Ye Liuyun himself, but they had been following them for more than ten minutes.

We definitely can't let them follow us around forever.

"Huh?"

The group was embarrassed. After thinking about it, they finally decided to give up following.

To put it bluntly, he lacks the confidence to defeat Ye Liuyun. Since he lacks confidence, why keep following him? Isn't that just a waste of time?

"Tch, boring. If I were you guys, I'd either go for it or leave. Following along is a waste of my life." Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes and complained as they scattered.

Then look at Zhou Xiao, who was injured by Ye Liuyun's sneak attack. This guy has already found a deserted area to meditate and heal his wounds.

"Damn it, I've been tricked by this woman again." Zhou Xiao lay on the ground, furious. He had lost inexplicably.

Especially that cauldron; he had never seen such a heavy and sturdy cauldron before, and it almost shattered his body.

Zhou Xiao quickly sat down to meditate and heal his injuries, preparing to go find trouble again after recovering. However, he had only been sitting down for a short while when a beam of azure light, like a rainbow and the setting sun, descended from the sky and landed in front of him at lightning speed.

"Hand over the token." The newcomer, dressed in a white dress, stood proudly and spoke with a cold expression.

The moment Zhou Xiao sensed someone approaching, his face turned green. He struggled to his feet and looked at the person in front of him, only to find that it was another woman.

"It's you? That woman with the Heavenly Qualification?" Zhou Xiao was taken aback when he saw who it was.

Indeed, the person who came was Lin Aoxue. Zhou Xiao is really unlucky. He just suffered a loss at Ye Liuyun's hands, and now he has run into Lin Aoxue. It can only be said that when unlucky people are about to have bad luck, it comes in one after another.

Moreover, if he knew that the person in front of him was Ye Liuyun's wife, he would probably be even more furious. He had already disgusted the other woman's husband, and now he had run into the other woman's temperamental wife.

"Give me the token. You're already injured and no match for me. I don't want to eliminate you," Lin Aoxue said again, her face expressionless.

However, Zhou Xiao disagreed. Although the other party had strong aptitude, his cultivation level was much higher than the other party's.

"What arrogance! So what if you have good aptitude? You're just a mere Dao Palace Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet you dare to challenge me? Haven't you heard that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse?" Zhou Xiao roared, then dragged his injured body towards Lin Aoxue.

But he was wrong immediately. Lin Aoxue's killing intent erupted, and a celestial palace map appeared behind her. Then, a blinding sword light engulfed Zhou Xiao, who was rushing over.

"This? How is this possible?" Zhou Xiao's pupils shrank as he watched the sword light descending towards him.

In his prime, he could have fought Lin Aoxue, but after fighting Ye Liuyun, he was crippled and unable to unleash his full power.

Lin Aoxue, at full power, can directly confront a Nascent Soul cultivator, while Zhou Xiao is naturally no match for her.

"Damn it..." Zhou Xiao cursed under his breath.

He then appeared in a disheveled state on the platform of the Supreme Response Sect. When the disciples of the Supreme Response Sect saw Zhou Xiao emerge, they were all stunned.

"Isn't that Zhou Xiao from the Body Refinement Peak? My God, how did he get eliminated?" someone exclaimed.

“Yes, I remember he had a Yellow-level aptitude, and he was the first Yellow-level aptitude candidate to be eliminated,” another person said.

Zhou Xiao's face was as dark as it could possibly be; he was too ashamed to face anyone and dragged his injured body back to the Body Refining Peak.

Meanwhile, the main hall of the Taishang Ganying Sect was also shrouded in silence.

"Zhou Xiao, eliminated just like that? Damn it, who did he fight to get such serious injuries?" The peak master of Body Refinement Peak stood up in disbelief. Zhou Xiao was his disciple, and he knew Zhou Xiao's abilities well.

They had just witnessed the battle between Lin Aoxue and Zhou Xiao, but Lin Aoxue defeated Zhou Xiao in one move.

However, in their view, the one who truly defeated Zhou Xiao was not Lin Aoxue, but someone else entirely.

They really imagined someone beating Zhou Xiao up like that.

Their main focus was on the outstanding disciples in the Southern Region, and they didn't pay much attention to their own disciples, so they were unaware of Zhou Xiao's situation.

"Retrieve Zhou Xiao's combat records and see what he encountered," Ancestor Tianyi instructed.

As soon as these words were spoken, an elder immediately took out a magic weapon and began to manipulate it. Zhou Xiao's image was brought up and then started to be played in reverse, quickly rewinding to the scene of him fighting Ye Liuyun.

"This? Is this girl? Isn't this the little girl in red who was with Lin Aoxue? She defeated Zhou Xiao? How is that possible? She's only a white-level talent, and her cultivation isn't high." The Nascent Soul experts in the hall were all stunned.

Li Muyun noticed a peculiar glint in Ye Liuyun's eyes when she saw him in the picture.

She was almost certain that Ye Liuyun was her granddaughter's generation. As a grandmother, she was naturally happy to see her granddaughter's talent.

They went through the entire battle between Ye Liuyun and Zhou Xiao in great detail from beginning to end.

"As expected, he is a body cultivator, and a pure body cultivator at that. But even so, why did Zhou Xiao lose?" Everyone could judge Ye Liuyun's situation just by looking at the punch he threw at Zhou Xiao.

They had only guessed that Ye Liuyun was a body cultivator, but they never thought that Ye Liuyun was a pure body cultivator, because there are very few pure body cultivators due to the limitations of the cultivation method.

However, as they looked further ahead, they gradually understood everything.

“There’s something wrong with this little girl’s clothes. They seem to have a mind-bending effect. Her cauldron is also a bit strange. It doesn’t seem to have any power fluctuations. It’s just like an ordinary bronze cauldron. But it was able to smash through Zhou Xiao’s defenses in one go and seriously injure him. This shows how heavy and hard the cauldron is.”

"However, Zhou Xiao's defeat was mainly due to the effect of the clothes. The power of the clothes forced Zhou Xiao to stop his fighting rhythm, and then he was hit by this little girl's entire set. Impressive." Everyone was stunned by Ye Liuyun's fighting style.

They had never seen any other female cultivators with such a fierce and unpredictable fighting style.

To this end, Ancestor Tianyi replayed Ye Liuyun's actions in reverse, and soon saw Ye Liuyun single-handedly break into the Nine-Bend Sandstorm Array on the twelfth floor of the secret realm, and how he violently destroyed the Nine-Bend Sandstorm Array and obtained fifty tokens.

Going back any further would be a matter for Yue Lianxing.

However, there is no record of Ye Liuyun beating Yue Lianxing, because they can only see records related to battles. So all they can see is that Ye Liuyun ambushed and knocked Yue Lianxing unconscious, and that's it.

"It's Lianxing. How did this little girl end up with her? They must have gone through something." Many people recognized Yue Lianxing.

After looking at him from all sides, everyone noticed that Ye Liuyun had two highlights: one was that he blew up the Nine-Bend Sandstorm Formation, and the other was that he repelled Zhou Xiao.

These two points alone are enough to make them take it seriously.

“She must have used some kind of consumable magic weapon to blast the Nine-Bend Sandstorm Formation. However, she only has the cultivation of the Spirit Stream Realm. How could she activate such a consumable magic weapon?” A powerful expert raised a question.

Ye Liuyun presented the assembled cultivators with a riddle.

However, what they didn't notice was that Xu Heng from the Nine Heavens Holy Land was stunned for a long time after seeing Ye Liuyun, and then instinctively looked at Li Muyun.

"I knew it, this little girl looks familiar. How come she looks so similar to her?" Xu Heng wondered.

Ye Liuyun went from being ignored to receiving a lot of attention.

"This little girl's talent is definitely more than just white level. She must have figured something out, so she didn't use her full strength when determining her level. She really is playing dumb to fool others," Ancestor Tianyi said with a smile, stroking his chin.

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Li Bai.

However, Li Bai gently shook his head. Although he knew Ye Liuyun, he had only just learned that Ye Liuyun was a body cultivator. Moreover, if Ye Liuyun was a body cultivator, then he was not suitable to be his disciple.

When Tianyi Patriarch saw Li Bai shake his head, he knew what Li Bai meant.

However, Li Bai was not interested in him, but the peak master of Body Refining Peak had developed a strong interest in Ye Liuyun. Given this situation, he definitely wanted Ye Liuyun to come to their Body Refining Peak.

They at Body Refining Peak weren't interested in anything else, but they were extremely interested in body refining methods. Not for any other reason than to figure out the method Ye Liuyun was practicing, and to get Ye Liuyun to join Body Refining Peak.

However, this is something that can't be said openly and honestly.

"Strange, why do I feel like the chances of encountering other cultivators are getting higher and higher? Yesterday, I walked around for half a day and only saw a few scattered people." Ye Liuyun asked, looking at the cultivators flying by in the sky.

Upon hearing this, Yue Lianxing laughed again.

"Haha, you don't know, do you? Let me tell you, the area of ​​this desert is actually shrinking all the time, but people inside can't feel it. Today, it's only about two-thirds the size of yesterday, and it's still shrinking. Tomorrow, you'll see other cultivators everywhere," Yue Lianxing explained.

"What? Battle Royale? And the scope is narrowed down?" Ye Liuyun was stunned.

"Battle Royale? What is that? But narrowing the scope is also to prevent some cultivators from hiding on the edge. After all, the original intention of this second level is to compete for tokens. If someone gets a lot of tokens and finds a place to hide and doesn't come out, what's the point?" Yue Lianxing said.

After hearing this, Ye Liuyun thought about it and realized that it did make sense.

However, hiding in this flat, sandy battlefield requires skill.

As the two were walking, a figure suddenly shot towards them from a distance.

The moment Ye Liuyun noticed the other person, he immediately showed a look of surprise and delight.

"Hey? Aoxue, Aoxue, I'm here." Ye Liuyun called out to the figure flying over from the sky.

It was Lin Aoxue. Upon seeing Ye Liuyun, Lin Aoxue quickly descended as well.

"I've finally found you! This place is huge!" Lin Aoxue said happily.
