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

It can only be said that this rating is still valuable. As long as it's not intentional, there shouldn't be any problems with the rating.

Lin Aoxue was extremely ruthless. As long as someone wasn't one of her own, she would go after them to kill them. In her opinion, killing them was the best option. As for Zhou Xiao, Lin Aoxue originally didn't want to take advantage of his vulnerability to kill him, since he was a Yellow-level talent. That's why she made him hand over his token voluntarily.

Who knew, this guy didn't appreciate it, so we had no choice but to send him away.

However, the higher-ups of the Taishang Ganying Sect had another question.

"Where did this little girl hide the token? She must have over a hundred tokens on her, why isn't there any reaction?" a powerful figure asked, looking completely bewildered.

But some people offered an explanation.

"This token cannot be stored in a storage magic item. There are generally only two reasons why it cannot be seen: first, it is isolated by spatial power; second, there is some means to conceal the energy fluctuations of the token. This little girl probably knows similar methods to those of Zhaixing Peak."

In this way, no matter how many tokens they have, they don't have to worry about being targeted, so they can confidently rob others.

"If I had known, I would have banned spatial manipulation techniques in the second level as well," a powerful figure suggested.

However, some people hold opposing views.

"The power of space is a powerful technique in itself. It would be unreasonable to prevent others from using it. Besides, there aren't many people in the entire arena who possess such a technique. As far as I can see, it's only the disciples of Zhaixing Peak and this Ye Liuyu."

That's true. It's unfair to ban everything just because a few people have special abilities.

Chapter 345 A Powerful Enemy Attacks (4000 words)

Soon, another day passed. In just one day, Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue snatched several hundred tokens. Of course, they were both aware of their own limitations.

The opponents they seek out are not those who are not particularly powerful; in any case, they would definitely not provoke cultivators with Yellow-level aptitude, because it would be too much of a waste of time.

The next day, at the crack of dawn, a notification was announced throughout the chaotic trial grounds.

"Today is the last day of the Chaotic Trial. You can see your ranking now. Those who are not ranked enough need to work harder. There are only 100,000 spots available. First, the ranking will be based on the number of tokens. If the number of tokens is equal, then the ranking will be based on the time when the tokens were acquired. If you don't have a single token, then I'm sorry, you will still be eliminated by Taotian."

As soon as these words were spoken, a projection suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The projection was just like the character information bar in a computer game. First, it showed everyone's photo, then their respective rankings, and they could also see the rankings of other people.

Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were resting somewhere in stealth mode, after all, they had been robbing all night.

"Oh, the rankings are out. It's a pity that all my tokens are with you, so my ranking is currently very low. Look at the rankings above. To get into the top 100,000, I need at least three pass tokens." Lin Aoxue swiped her finger across the projection to see the results.

This thing is just like a tablet computer; it's not difficult to operate. Even people from this world who have learned about those special magical artifacts in Tianyi City basically know how to operate it.

"Hehe, I'm in first place! The second place is at least 200 yuan behind me," Ye Liuyun laughed.

Ye Liuyun currently has 534 coins, more than 220 more than the second place.

The second-place winner is impressive. Ye Liuyun didn't know which sect the other person belonged to. Ye Liuyun also glanced at the other people from the Yun Sect. People like Murong Huan were basically all within the top 100,000, which was quite high.

"Huh? Xiao Hansheng, this guy actually got more than 80 tokens. He must have a big secret. And Li Jianxin, more than 120 tokens, their rankings are not low." Ye Liuyun muttered as he looked at the rankings.

"Alright, that's about it. Liuyun, let's go find the people from the sect. Next, we mainly need to see how many people haven't been eliminated, and then see how many tokens they're short of, and try our best to get them into the next stage." After reading this, Lin Aoxue stood up and prepared to go find people.

Ye Liuyun nodded.

Lin Aoxue has already done her best to repay the kindness of Yunxia Sect.

The other people reacted differently to the first-place winner.

"Junior Sister Ye, you actually obtained so many tokens! Eh? Senior Sister Lin, your ranking is so low, what's going on?" Some disciples of the Cloud Sect who had already gathered were puzzled.

"Impossible. How could Senior Sister Lin not have obtained a single token? If I'm not mistaken, Senior Sister Lin must have met up with Junior Sister Ye and then handed the tokens over to Junior Sister Ye. That's why Junior Sister Ye has so many tokens," a careful observer guessed.

After all, everyone in the Yun Sect knew about the relationship between Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun.

As everyone was talking, the chaotic trial grounds suddenly trembled, and then the voice of the Moon Fairy came from the sky again.

"Dear contestants, in order to speed up the end of the competition, the space in this area will be greatly reduced. There are currently more than 200,000 people left. If the number of people is reduced to 100,000, the competition can end early."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone frowned deeply, because wasn't this forcing them to fight or steal other people's tokens?

"Damn it, it's impossible to wait until the time runs out. We need to hurry up and rejoin the rest of the sect. Only then can we keep our pass." Some sect cultivators who hadn't found their companions yet were getting anxious.

Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun were already looking for people. They felt they had enough tokens and there was no need to steal from others; they just needed to protect their own.

They wouldn't notice the space shrinking, but they would notice the increasing presence of other cultivators around them.

"Hey? That looks like people from our Yunxia Sect over there. They're being besieged by other sects." Lin Aoxue quickly spotted a group of three from the Yunxia Sect.

These three should be returning disciples of the Cloud Sect. Upon closer inspection, there is also a familiar face, He Zhi Qiu. However, they do not have any tokens. To be honest, with their strength, they are no match for the Southern Ridge Gathering.

It's already a miracle they survived, but with the rules changing on the third day, even survival is a problem for them.

"Insects, get out of here quickly and end this battle soon. Stop resisting. You can't hold out for long with the power of your treasures. You'll lose sooner or later." The three could only defend. He Zhi Qiu had a high-grade defensive magical artifact in his hand.

This was sent by Yunxia Sect before they came to the Nanling Grand Gathering. Yunxia Sect is definitely the small sect that has benefited the most from the Black Wind Mountain Range.

Putting aside everything else, they have a lot of spiritual artifacts, including several Xuan-rank treasures. All the disciples participating in the competition are equipped with at least mid-grade spiritual artifacts.

"Junior Brother He, what should we do? If this continues, we're definitely going to be eliminated. Damn it, we don't have any tokens. These people are really crazy." The three of them talked anxiously while focusing on their defense.

"The rules for this third day are very unfavorable to us. We can only hope that someone will pass by and save us, otherwise we'll have to stop here." He Zhi Qiu was at a loss.

Originally, given their qualifications, they shouldn't have been able to attend the Nanling Grand Gathering at all; they were just there to make up the numbers. After all, they were given fifty spots, and they had to make sure they filled them.

"Click, click."

The energy released by their defensive magic treasures began to crack and was about to reach its limit. A high-grade defensive magic treasure, when fully activated, could probably withstand a full-force attack from an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Fortunately, these people were not from a particularly powerful sect, but they had cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, so they could withstand several waves of attacks without much trouble.

"Thump." In the end, the power of the magical artifact shattered.

The three were helpless and could only watch as the enemy's attack landed on them.

"Sigh!" The three of them sighed at the same time.

"Haha, get out of here, you ants!" the group sneered.

But immediately, a streak of green light flashed past these people. The previously arrogant group of people were stunned and then disappeared from their spot. As they disappeared, the power they had released also vanished.

He Zhi Qiu and the others were rescued.

The eliminated contestants also appeared on the platform in the elimination area.

"Where? Where is this? Oh no, we've been ambushed." The group was stunned for a moment, then realized they had been eliminated.

They were so angry that they didn't even see who had ambushed them.

However, one after another, eliminated contestants appeared around them, all looking dejected, one after another.

Looking at He Zhi Qiu and the other two, they waited for a long time and found that they didn't seem to feel anything.

"Senior Brother He, stop spacing out, it's alright." A familiar voice reached He Zhi Qiu's ears.

He Zhi Qiu was startled, then opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he found two familiar people standing in front of him.

"Eh? Junior Sister Ye, Junior Sister Lin? This?" He Zhi Qiu looked at the two of them first, and then at himself.

The other two breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Aoxue and then plopped down on their chairs.

"Ah! We're saved! I thought we were going to be eliminated. Thank you so much, Junior Sister Lin." The two of them quickly expressed their gratitude.

“We were looking for you anyway. Come on, let’s go find the others together,” Lin Aoxue gestured.

He Zhi Qiu and the other two nodded. This was not the time to rest; time was of the essence.

However, for some reason, He Zhi Qiu and the other two felt as if a long time had passed. Not long ago, when Lin Aoxue was in Yunxia Sect, she was only at the Spirit Pattern Realm, but now she had already reached the Dao Palace Realm. Moreover, they felt that Lin Aoxue's combat strength had always been a mystery.

He could fight against Dao Palace Core Formation Realm cultivators when he was at the Spirit Pattern Realm, and now he has instantly killed several Dao Palace Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. He is even killing enemies of higher levels. It feels more and more exaggerated. The deacons and elders of the Cloud Mist Sect are no match for him at all.

To put it bluntly, they are now cultivators on a completely different level. With Lin Aoxue's Heaven-level aptitude, she is destined to become a disciple of the Supreme Induction Sect, while they will probably only be able to stay in the small Yunxia Sect.

However, they were already used to it. This has always been the case in the cultivation world. Cultivators with good aptitude make rapid progress. In fact, their aptitude was not the worst, but it just seemed too poor when they came to the Nanling Grand Gathering.

However, even if Lin Aoxue wanted to help the people of Yunxia Sect, it would probably be difficult for them to advance much in this stage. It would all depend on luck. If they weren't eliminated before they met, that would be luck.

Of the 50 members of the Yunxia Sect, less than 20 remain, meaning that most of them have been eliminated. Those at the Spirit Pattern Realm have been almost entirely eliminated. They have done their best, and now they can only pray that their fellow disciples can achieve better rankings.

Those who are eliminated have two choices: return to Tianyi City or stay in the elimination area and watch the remaining matches. The eliminated people are currently sitting around the platform, with a huge projection above them showing the battle footage.

Only those eliminated in the second round are qualified to sit here. Those who failed in the first round can only go back to Tianyi City to watch the live broadcast on the projector. Qin Yi and the others are lucky; they have special privileges and can watch whoever they want.

"Oh dear, Elder, it seems that Aoxue is destined to become a disciple of the Supreme Response Sect." Yun Yun and the others, who were watching the live broadcast in the inn, laughed with a relaxed and smug expression.

Lin Aoxue was, after all, her disciple. Once Lin Aoxue joined the Supreme Response Sect, her status as her master would definitely rise accordingly.

Even Qin Yi had to think highly of Yun Yun and even treat her as an equal; this is the power of a master's status based on his disciple's.

The other three families don't have any truly good disciples left. They've basically eliminated most of their disciples. As for whether they can enter the third stage, that depends on luck.

However, it must be said that a few disciples of the Zixia Sect who knew Ye Liuyun got lucky. Ye Liuyun saw them on the road, or rather, they saw Ye Liuyun and called out to him.

Ye Liuyun's personality is like this: if he encounters someone he knows, he will try his best to help them; if he doesn't know someone, even if they are from the Yunxia Sect, Ye Liuyun is too lazy to care.

Their numbers kept increasing along the way, from the original five people to more than a dozen.

However, troubles followed.

Several figures with ferocious auras descended from the sky, their energy stirring up large amounts of sand and dust.

"Hehe, we've finally found you, the one with the Heavenly Rank talent, and that guy ranked number one." These figures strolled out from the sandstorm.

The newcomer is very strong; he is probably the strongest enemy Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue have ever encountered.

Upon closer inspection, the other party consisted of two Yellow-level talents and six Purple-level talents, with the highest cultivation level being the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and there were two of them. The rest of them were also at the Nascent Soul stage, and they all had passage tokens on them, and there were quite a few of them.

These people came with ill intentions. They came from the Supreme Palace of the Eight Desolations in the Northern Region, and their target was the Supreme Response Sect, a group with vested interests.

The people from the four sects have been searching for Lin Aoxue, but before, the search area was too large to be successful. Now that the area is smaller, as long as they put their minds to it, they will definitely be able to find her.

However, they did not expect that the two people they were most looking for would be together, which was a pleasant surprise for Ye Liuyun.

The moment these people landed, Lin Qingyou immediately told Ye Liuyun about their cultivation levels.

"They're all at the Nascent Soul Realm, that strong? These people are clearly targeting Ao Xue and me, probably from the other four major sects in the Northern Region," Ye Liuyun guessed.

Actually, there's no need to guess. It's obvious who's targeting them. It's mainly Lin Aoxue. Ye Liuyun is just attracting attention because they have too many tokens.

"Damn it, Junior Sister Lin, you two go first, we'll hold them off." After clearly seeing the fluctuations in the auras of these guys, He Zhi Qiu and the others immediately stepped forward to buy Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun time to escape.

In this place, forget about saving face. Their value is not high to begin with. They can only benefit if Lin Aoxue can successfully join the Supreme Response Sect.

Whether for their own sake or for the sake of their sect, it was necessary for them to do this.

"Senior Brother He, you guys step back, they're here for the two of us," Lin Aoxue quickly said.

He Zhi Qiu was taken aback, then exchanged a glance with Lin Aoxue, who clearly shook her head at him.

Although she really wanted to help, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that these people, who were not even at the Nascent Soul Realm, were really useless and probably couldn't even withstand a single move.

"Junior Sister Lin, if you two can't win later, just run away. Don't worry about us," He Zhi Qiu said quickly.

Lin Aoxue nodded, and He Zhiqi and the others then retreated to a certain distance, because Lin Aoxue had just communicated with them telepathically, telling them not to worry.

Chapter 346 A Setback (4000 words)

As for the people from the Eight Desolations Supreme Palace, they didn't take He Zhi Qiu and his group seriously at all, which is quite normal, since they didn't have any tokens and their strength was pitifully weak.

But in reality, they didn't even take Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun seriously.

After all, one is at the Spirit Stream Realm and the other at the Foundation Establishment stage. From the perspective of normal cultivators, this is far too much, and they are not even in the same league.

This is like the relationship between a person and an ant; a person wouldn't intentionally step on an ant.

However, they also knew that there was definitely something wrong with these two people being able to obtain so many tokens; it was certainly not as simple as just their apparent cultivation level.

Especially Lin Aoxue, with her Heavenly-level talent, must have something special about her, so while they underestimated her, they didn't forget to be vigilant.

"Aoxue, it seems like this is going to be a tough battle. This is going to be difficult for us. I think we should use my methods to deal with them?" Ye Liuyun said telepathically.

Lin Aoxue instantly understood what Ye Liuyun meant.

"Yeah, I think so too. But it might be a bit difficult to eliminate them all in one go without hurting ourselves," Lin Aoxue said with a hint of worry.

Ye Liuyun thought for a moment, then gave a wicked smile.

"Hehe, watch me." Ye Liuyun said, stepping forward to address the people from the Eight Desolations Supreme Palace.

"Fellow Daoists, which sect or school do you come from? Since you've come specifically to find us sisters, you must be disciples of other major sects, right?" Ye Liuyun asked with a smile.

Ye Liuyun's appearance, combined with the Seven Illusions Glazed Dress she wore, even if it didn't have much of an impact on them, would at least lower their psychological defenses.

“We come from the Eight Desolate Supreme Palace. As for other issues, there’s no need to say more. We all know what’s going on. To be honest, I don’t want to fight women, especially those with lower cultivation levels than me. But this is a requirement of the sect, and I have no choice but to comply. I think you two should withdraw voluntarily,” one of the young men said proudly.

At their level, they certainly have the right to speak to Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue like that.
