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

Once these people are rescued, the Zixia Sect will definitely come to redeem them, which will be a benefit for the Yunxia Sect.

"What kind of pill is this? Its effect is so good?" The Zixia Sect disciple who had taken the Rejuvenation Pill slowly opened his eyes and looked at Ye Liuyun, who was treating his injuries.

"Never mind what kind of medicine it is, as long as it saves you, that's enough. If you lie here any longer, you'll be reporting to the underworld." Ye Liuyun said, rolling his eyes.

The Zixia Sect disciple who was saved gave an awkward smile.

"Thank you, young lady. I will remember this life-saving favor and repay it when I have the chance." The Zixia Sect disciple who was saved knew that he was about to die. If Ye Liuyun hadn't given him the Resurrection Pill, he wouldn't have survived for more than half an hour.

"I like hearing that. I'll remember it. I'll wait for you to repay my kindness." Ye Liuyun chuckled, then went to check on the other injured people.

Ye Liuyun fed all the seriously injured and near-death cultivators Rejuvenation Pills, and for ordinary injuries, he gave them Special Hemostatic Pills. Soon, almost all the cultivators in the wounded area were out of danger.

Especially some cultivators who were on the verge of death were saved by Ye Liuyun. Whether they were disciples of the Zixia Sect or the Yunxia Sect, they were extremely grateful to Ye Liuyun.

People only realize how precious life is when they are about to die. They were able to come back from the brink of death, so it is no exaggeration to say that Ye Liuyun was their second parent.

Nalan Yan was shocked to see that all the wounded had stabilized. She had secretly observed Ye Liuyun and discovered that the pills he was giving them were top-grade healing medicines, each one potentially saving a life.

In particular, those wounded soldiers who she thought were doomed were all saved.

"Just who is this Ye Liuyu? How could he possess such superb alchemy skills?" Nalan Yan looked at Ye Liuyun with increasing astonishment.

She thought for a moment, then walked over to Ye Liuyun's side.

“Junior Sister Ye, is it appropriate for you to give them such good pills? They are all enemies. We have already shown mercy by not killing them and bringing them back,” Nalan Yan said.

When Ye Liuyun saw Nalan Yan walk over and say this, his eyes darted around for a moment, and then he spoke with righteous indignation.

“Senior Sister Nalan, we are alchemists. In the mortal world, alchemists are doctors. Doctors have the heart of parents. In my eyes, there are only the injured. For doctors, every life is precious. Alchemists who have no reverence for life will not go far on the path of alchemy.”

Nalan Yan initially thought it wasn't worth it, but upon hearing Ye Liuyun's words, she was stunned.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that her awareness as an alchemist was far inferior to that of the girl in front of her.

She was somewhat confused for a moment, or rather, the fact that her alchemy skills were so much worse than Ye Liuyun's was not just a difference in alchemy skills, but also a difference in mindset.

Ye Liuyun's words pinpointed what Nalan Yan lacked: what alchemists need most is a certain state of mind.

But in reality, this was just Ye Liuyun casually fooling Nalan Yan, or rather, he was trying to shut Nalan Yan down.

"This? Well, it seems my mental state for alchemy is indeed not good enough. Thank you for your guidance, Junior Sister Ye. I will definitely adjust my mental state when I get back," Nalan Yan said with a smile.

Seeing Nalan Yan's reaction, Ye Liuyun suddenly felt uneasy.

"Strange, what's wrong with this woman? A few words I casually made up have stunned her?" Ye Liuyun muttered to himself.

But in fact, even Lin Qingyou was stunned after hearing Ye Liuyun's words, because Ye Liuyun's words were something that no alchemist had ever thought about.

As healers among cultivators, they seem to pursue not healing the sick and saving lives, but profit and fame, and never think about what the original intention of inventing elixirs was.

Elixirs are not meant for pursuing fame and fortune. Their original purpose was to save lives, but they have gradually become distorted by the pursuit of fame and profit.

"I never expected that someone with your carefree personality could say something so profound. I have to admire you." Lin Qingyou's voice rang in Ye Liuyun's ear.

Ye Liuyun was taken aback.

"Ahem, I was just making things up to fob her off," Ye Liuyun explained.

However, Lin Qingyou did not think so, because Ye Liuyun's words revealed the original intention and purpose of the Dao of Pills.

Even she, an immortal who attained enlightenment through medicine, rarely pondered the original purpose of elixirs.

Chapter 51 Flowers Blooming Under the Moon

After Nalan Yan left, Lin Qingyou reminded Ye Liuyun of something.

“Kid, this little girl is very strange. She clearly knew about your alchemy problem a long time ago, but why has she been pretending not to know? What do you think she’s up to?” Lin Qingyou asked.

Back when he was refining medicine in the Alchemy Pavilion, Ye Liuyun knew that Nalan Yan was definitely paying attention to him. After all, he had refined so many medicines in one go during the alchemy test, and then he practically lived in the Alchemy Pavilion. It would be abnormal if she didn't notice anything at all.

"Sigh! I think she's very interested in your alchemy skills. To put it bluntly, she definitely has ulterior motives, but because our relationship isn't close enough yet, there are some things she can't say," Ye Liuyun replied.

Looking at the spirit stone vein below the crack, Yun Yun and the others shattered a layer of rock with a single palm strike. After the rock layer split open, white light radiated outwards, and spiritual energy flowed like a sea. Behind the broken rock layer, a layer of crystal-like objects resembling diamonds appeared, which were the spirit stones.

This item contains a large amount of spiritual energy. A spirit stone the size of a thumb contains the energy needs of a cultivator for a day, so it has become the common currency in the cultivation world.

Spirit stones are classified into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade according to their quality. After these spirit stone veins are mined, they are polished into a uniform size for the market using special magical tools.

"Haha, we've struck it rich, Sect Master! Our Cloud Mist Sect has struck it rich!" Yun Ling was overjoyed as he looked at the enormous spirit stone mine before him.

Yun Yun's face was also full of smiles. With such a huge spirit stone mine, the development of their Yunxia Sect for the next hundred years would definitely be very smooth.

"Let's begin the excavation. Sect Leader Zhuo, Sect Leader Zhang, Sect Leader Du, and Sect Leader Yang, the excavation of the spirit stone vein will be the responsibility of your four sects. I'll take the Yunxia Sect out to wait for the guests who will arrive later," Yun Yun said, glancing at the four Nascent Soul cultivators behind her.

These four individuals are the sect leaders of the Yunxia Sect's affiliated sects. The four affiliated sects of the Yunxia Sect are Yunling Sect, Hualing Sect, Hailing Sect, and Tianling Sect.

"Yes, Sect Master." The four nodded, then instructed their disciples to begin mining the spirit stones.

As affiliated forces of the Yunxia Sect, once the spirit stone mines here are fully excavated, each family can easily earn tens of millions of spirit stones.

At this moment, new guests arrived. Several powerful figures broke through the air in the distance, but they stopped when they reached the area where the spiritual vein was born.

"This? Oh! We're too late. The battle is already over. It seems that the Cloud Mist Sect defeated the Purple Mist Sect." These were experts from the Sunset Mist Sect and the Misty Mist Sect.

The two were floating a kilometer away from the area where the spirit stone mine was located.

"Sect Master Xi, why don't we join forces and seize this spirit stone mine?" Sect Master Yanxia said with a cold expression.

Behind them were a large number of disciples who had come after hearing the news, hoping to get a share of the spoils. However, on their way, they heard that the battle had ended, but they were still unwilling to give up and wanted to come and see for themselves.

"How can we seize it now? The Yunxia Sect and their affiliated sects are all here. Even with the casualties we suffered before, it will be difficult for us to take this place easily. Besides, so many people are watching. If this gets back to the Yunxia Sect, we'll be in big trouble. Sigh! This opportunity has nothing to do with us. Let's go back." The Xixia Sect Master sighed and then decisively turned and left.

Seeing that the Xixia Sect Master had turned back, the Yanxia Sect Master could only sigh heavily, expressing his helplessness.

Yun Yun and the others had already sensed the presence of the two sects' cultivators and were waiting outside. However, they did not expect that the two sects would turn around and leave.

This time, the Yunxia Sect was prepared. If the two families dared to make a move, she would use a special magic artifact to record the scene of their attack. In that case, the two families would definitely be severely punished by the Yunxia Sect.

"Tch! You guys know what's good for you." Yun Yun breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw the people opposite her retreat.

At their current pace, it would take them about a week to completely excavate this spirit stone vein.

As evening fell, the atmosphere grew somewhat somber. Disciples and high-ranking members of the Yunxia Sect stood solemnly before the bodies of their fallen comrades.

"Let's bid farewell to the heroes of our sect," Yun Yun announced in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, all the disciples closed their eyes, and Yun Yun and the others used their magic to condense flames and envelop their corpses.

This time, the Yunxia Sect and its four affiliated sects lost nearly fifty cultivators, which is a considerable number, almost half of the number of formal disciples that the Yunxia Sect recruits each year.

Battlefields are always like this; people can't avoid dying. So sects like theirs will only resort to armed conflict as a last resort.

However, since it involves interests, it is difficult to negotiate with words.

Every year, these sects in the cultivation world lose disciples, so they have to replenish their ranks every so often. Very few cultivators can actually survive to the end.

After the ceremony, everyone went to rest. Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue went to sit on the cliff next to them. For some reason, although the moon was bright and the lights were on, they both felt a chill.

But seeing so many dead people at once filled me with a sense of melancholy and sorrow.

"Liu Yun, do you regret entering the cultivation world?" the two asked, leaning against each other and looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun shook his head without hesitation.

"I don't regret it. If I don't enter the cultivation world and stay in the mortal world, I won't have a good future. Besides, ordinary people only live for a hundred years from birth to death. If I hadn't become a woman, it would be fine. But if I had become a woman, I would have to be a mortal for a hundred years. I might as well find a place to hang myself from a tree in the southeast." Ye Liuyun replied.

"Sigh! That's true. I really don't understand. God brought us to this world to depend on each other for survival, so why did He have to turn you into a woman? If this absurd thing hadn't happened, we could have been a divine couple in the cultivation world, and we could have been together openly. Why do we have to be so secretive?" Lin Aoxue sighed.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun suddenly turned and pushed Lin Aoxue to the ground. Before Lin Aoxue could say anything, Ye Liuyun covered her mouth.

Here, in the dead of night, with the bright moon hanging high and no one around, it was the perfect opportunity for Ye Liuyun to regain his masculine dignity. Ye Liuyun released the emotions that had been suppressed within him for many years at this moment.

The time during the day was purely passive; Lin Aoxue was not rational at all, and there was no foreplay whatsoever. Apart from hurting her self-esteem, she felt nothing else. But tonight was different.

"Waaah! Liuyun, wait a minute! What if someone sees us?" Lin Aoxue gently nudged Ye Liuyun and said.

However, Ye Liuyun reached out and pressed Lin Aoxue's hands aside.

"So what if you saw it? What, are you scared?" Ye Liuyun asked seriously.

Lin Aoxue blushed, then turned her head away and remained silent. Ye Liuyun knew very well what this reaction meant: it meant to let her do as she pleased. In her previous life, when Lin Aoxue couldn't persuade Ye Liuyun, she reacted in the same way.

Perhaps Ye Liuyun was feeling a bit irritable today, which is why he was a little rough with Lin Aoxue. However, Lin Aoxue wasn't angry at all. On the contrary, she felt that the person she liked had never changed; it was just that their way of getting along needed to be different.

If someone were nearby at this moment, they would certainly have a feast for the eyes, but unfortunately, even if someone were nearby, they would not be able to see what Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were doing.

Because this area is isolated by Lin Qingyou's power, unless one is an immortal, other cultivators cannot see anything when they look here.

Chapter 52 Thinking Long-Term

These two are really bold, especially Ye Liuyun. When she's being coy and effeminate, she's incredibly effeminate, but when she suddenly takes the initiative, she seems like a man again.

But the style of this painting is still a bit off. It's like snow falling under white clouds, hard to tell because they're all white. Plus, with the bright moon hanging high in the sky today, it's even harder to distinguish them.

"I can't take it anymore!" A streak of light, accompanied by a somewhat annoyed voice, floated out of Ye Liuyun's storage ring, moving away from the shameless two.

Lin Aoxue was unaware that every time the two of them were intimate, there was actually a female ghost watching them. You can't blame Lin Qingyou for insisting on watching; sometimes, curiosity gets the better of you.

In her previous life, Lin Qingyou was focused on alchemy and cultivation, and never thought about romantic love. So whenever Ye Liuyun and Lin Aoxue were intimate, she couldn't help but steal a glance.

But after taking one look, she felt that she couldn't bear to look at it, that it was too offensive and a bit beyond her moral compass.

These two guys really live like they're sleeping under the open sky, with their clothes scattered everywhere. What would happen if a gust of wind blew all their clothes away?

Soon, the two, tired of playing, gradually let go of each other. Lin Aoxue, being a woman, recovered much faster than Ye Liuyun. She only rested for a while before getting up and getting dressed.

As for Ye Liuyun, despite taking the initiative, she ended up getting exhausted first.

"Damn it, I can't find the feeling of being on Earth at all. The reactions are completely different. Ah, I want to turn back into a man!" Ye Liuyun lay on the ground, looking up at the bright moon and sighing to the heavens.

Each encounter with Lin Aoxue did not bring back the feeling of her past life; on the contrary, this sense of unfamiliarity constantly reminded her that she could not go back.

"Why do you look so lifeless again? Judging from your reaction just now, weren't you enjoying it? Why do you look unhappy now that you've finished enjoying it?" Lin Aoxue used her strength to grab all of Ye Liuyun's clothes and threw them at him.

"These are two different things, okay? Happiness and pleasure are not my intentions, understand? They are just instinctive reactions brought about by this body, you know? In my heart, I feel ashamed and disgusted," Ye Liuyun retorted righteously.

Unfortunately, she's not convincing at all in her current state.

"Tch, you'd better put your clothes on. Right now, you give off the vibe of a weak woman being bullied." Lin Aoxue was a little embarrassed to look at Ye Liuyun like this.

Ye Liuyun rolled his eyes, then used his strength to clean the mud off his body before putting on his clothes one by one.

After getting dressed, they quietly returned to the camp with Lin Aoxue.

But at this moment, Yun Yun had already arrived at the wounded camp. A disciple told her that almost all of these wounded were out of danger, which surprised her. After all, the messenger had said that at least a dozen people might not survive, so how could they all suddenly be out of danger?

Upon arriving at the wounded's tent, the injured disciples hurriedly greeted Yun Yun, as all the residents here were disciples of the Yunxia Sect.

"Sect Master, you've arrived?" The disciples were slightly excited as they saw Yun Yun arrive.

Yun Yun is also a great beauty, but unlike Lin Aoxue's aloofness or Ye Liuyun's purity, she possesses a mature and elegant beauty. Her face appears to be in her twenties, but her overall age gives off a more middle-aged vibe.

The Dao Palace Out-of-Body Realm has a lifespan of five hundred years, and Yun Yun is already over three hundred and fifty years old. This age is indeed considered middle-aged in the Dao Palace Out-of-Body Realm.

Yun Yun is also known by the disciples of the Yunxia Sect as the most beautiful sect leader in history. She has both elegance and gentleness.

"Yes, I've come to see you. You don't need to worry about the severed limbs. Don't worry, after the temporary mine is finished, I will have someone go to Yunhai City to buy bone-regenerating pills," Yun Yun promised.

If Yun Yun made this promise herself, then it certainly wasn't a joke.

However, her purpose in coming here was not to make promises to them, but to check on their injuries.

"Thank you, Sect Master." The disciples all showed excited expressions after hearing Yun Yun's words.

At least they still have hope.

"Hmm, what's the situation with your injuries? Why are they healing so quickly?" Yun Yun asked, puzzled.

Nalan Yan, standing beside Yun Yun, remained silent and did not speak. She had no intention of telling Yun Yun about Ye Liuyun.

But even if she didn't say it, the wounded would definitely have.

"This? Sect Master, we don't know what happened either. I felt like I was about to die, but then a junior sister gave me a pill, and I immediately felt like I was pulled back from the Netherworld. Now, I'm basically fine." A disciple who was on the verge of death explained.

Yun Yun was stunned.

"Pills? What kind of pills can save someone who is seriously injured and on the verge of death? Yan'er, which disciple fed them the pills?" Yun Yun turned around and asked Nalan Yan.

This time, Nalan Yan had no choice but to speak.

“Oh, she’s Junior Sister Lin’s older sister, Ye Liuyu. Junior Sister Ye said that Junior Sister Lin asked her to come and take care of the wounded, because Junior Sister Ye is an alchemist, you should know that, right?” Nalan Yan explained.
