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

The first generation was naturally the Tianyi Ancestor and his group, the Tian generation; the second generation disciples were the Taiyin Fairy and her group, the Tai generation; the third generation disciples were the Xuan generation; and the fourth generation disciples were the Tong generation.

However, there are currently no true disciples of the same generation, because according to the rules of the Taishang Ganying Sect, a disciple cannot accept other disciples.

In other words, only those who become elders or peak masters can take on disciples.

If Li Bai were to accept Lin Aoxue as his personal disciple, she would be of the Xuan generation; if Tian Jian were to accept Yun Xin as his personal disciple, she would be of the Tai generation.

It's possible that Yunxin will become Lin Aoxue's martial aunt.

"Holy Maiden, do you need us to accompany you?" Xu Heng asked.

However, Li Muyun would definitely not allow Xu Heng to accompany her.

“Elder Xu Heng, you are an elder. If you stay by my side, it will frighten the younger generation, so it’s better if you don’t,” Li Muyun said with a slight smile.

Her words were a direct message to Xu Heng: I would feel very uncomfortable with you around, and others would feel uncomfortable too.

"Eh? Well, okay." Xu Heng thought about it and realized that it was indeed not suitable for him to come along.

She also guessed what Li Muyun was going to do there, but there were some things he couldn't say outright.

A short while later, a gentle and graceful woman, as beautiful as a fairy, flew into the main hall. After entering, she first bowed to Ancestor Tianyi and the others.

"Xuan Yin pays respects to Grand Master, Grand Uncle Masters, and Uncle Masters."

This girl, who looks to be in her early twenties, is Xuan Yin, the actual ruler of Taiyin Peak. She is at the half-step Nascent Soul stage and is not far from the Primordial Spirit stage.

"Yes, Xuan Yin, this is the Holy Maiden of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, the Holy Maiden Mu Yun. She's going to meet those rising stars. Why don't you take her to see them?" Fairy Taiyin introduced.

Xuan Yin smiled slightly, but she secretly gave Li Bai a flirtatious wink in the corner. Li Bai immediately shivered and looked away.

Xuan Yin stomped her foot in displeasure when she saw that Li Bai was deliberately avoiding her.

This shows that Xuan Yin liked Li Bai, but unfortunately, Li Bai wasn't interested in her.

“Your Highness, I am Xuan Yin. If you need anything, you can tell me directly. I will do my best to help.” Seeing that Li Bai was ignoring her, Xuan Yin had no choice but to get down to business.

“Okay, I’d like to go and see those promising young talents who passed the sixth test, and get to know them. Perhaps some of them will become disciples of the Holy Land in the future,” Li Muyun said.

Xuan Yin was taken aback. She instinctively looked at Ancestor Tianyi and her master. Only after they nodded did she dare to lead Li Muyun over.

“Alright, Holy Maiden, please. Who do you wish to see? I will take you there.” Xuan Yin nodded.

And so, Li Muyun, along with her two maids, left with Xuan Yin.

After Li Muyun left, Xu Heng suddenly whispered to Tianyi Ancestor.

"Old Ghost Tianyi, I have a question for you. What's the name of that little girl in red, the one who used pills to blow people up? Do you have any information about her identity?" Xu Heng asked.

Ancestor Tianyi was stunned. She didn't understand why Xu Heng suddenly asked this. If Xu Heng had asked about Lin Aoxue and the other people with the same qualifications, she might not have found it strange. But asking about Ye Liuyun's information was very odd.

"Strange? Old ghost Xu Heng, why are you asking this?" Ancestor Tianyi asked back.

"Don't ask me anything first, answer my question first," Xu Heng said again.

After thinking it over, Ancestor Tianyi decided not to hide it from him.

"This little girl is called Ye Liuyu, a disciple of the Yun Sect in the Southern Region. I don't know her specific identity information, and we don't care about that. What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Ancestor Tianyi asked with some surprise.

"From the Southern Region, surnamed Ye? Indeed, this is no coincidence." Xu Heng understood immediately.

"Oh, some things, you shouldn't ask too much about, it has nothing to do with your Supreme Response Sect." Xu Heng certainly wouldn't tell Ancestor Tianyi about the affairs of their Nine Heavens Holy Land.

Then look at Ye Liuyun and his group. Led by the disciples of the Taishang Ganying Sect, they were sightseeing along the way, enjoying the beautiful scenery within the Taishang Ganying Sect.

The Supreme Response Sect is unusually large. The Cloud Sect is already quite large, but if the Cloud Sect were placed within the Supreme Response Sect, it would be at most just a faction.

Ye Liuyun and his companions were standing on a flying magical artifact, which carried them through the Taishang Ganying Sect.

At the same time, some disciples introduced their 108 lineages of the Taishang Ganying Sect to everyone present.

The lineages of these factions are incredibly diverse, which is essentially telling everyone which factions are right for you.

If cultivators from different factions want to travel between each other, they can only do so through teleportation arrays. Even flying at full speed would take several hours, and for factions that are far apart, it would probably take half a day to fly.

They are each a sect, but within the Supreme Response Sect, teleportation arrays are very common. You can first teleport to the cultivator market within the Supreme Response Sect, and then go to the transfer station to teleport to other factions.

This makes things very simple. The teleportation array of the Supreme Response Sect can teleport to almost anywhere in the Northern Region, provided that the teleportation array there is not destroyed.

Within the Taishang Ganying Sect, there are clear distinctions between different factions. Each faction possesses a high degree of autonomy, and disciples generally do not meet frequently unless there is a major event.

Moreover, these factions also have their own camps, and they are not all so harmonious. The harmonious coexistence is just for show.

"Hey? Senior brother, which sect does that mountain over there belong to? It looks a bit desolate." On their way to the residential area, the group saw an unusual mountain.

This mountain is very high. Within the Taishang Ganying Sect, the height of a mountain represents its status within the sect.

This mountain peak stood out from the rest, towering over the other peaks of various factions, but when they passed by, they found the place lifeless and dilapidated.

Upon hearing the name of this place, the disciple who had led the way looked slightly uneasy.

"This is Tianren Peak. Speaking of which, Tianren Peak was the main peak of the Taishang Ganying Sect thousands of years ago. However, the successor of Tianren Peak in that generation had an affair with a wicked witch. He even went so far as to rebel against the entire peak for the sake of the wicked witch, and was eventually suppressed by the sect."

"As for the disciples of Tianren Peak, they were all expelled from the sect and exiled to the Southern Region because of their judgment. If any of you came from the Southern Region, you should remember that there is a Tianzong sect in the Southern Region. That Tianzong sect is the name of Tianren Peak when it moved to the Southern Region."

"However, even after being exiled to the Southern Region, Tianren Peak remained unrepentant, ultimately forcing the sect to take action and kill him." The disciple of the Supreme Response Sect said with a sigh.

Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue and Ye Liuyun fell into deep thought, especially Lin Aoxue, who inherited Lin Junxian's legacy and knew the inside story of what happened back then.

"Aoxue, do you know what exactly happened?" Ye Liuyun asked in a low voice.

Lin Aoxue sighed softly, then explained it to Ye Liuyun; she didn't need to hide it from him.

"This matter is rather complicated. I can only say that the Supreme Response Sect handled it in some ways. Back then, the peak master of Tianren Peak fell in love with a female cultivator, but after they got married and had children, he discovered that this woman was actually an exiled disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, an evil sect in the Tang Kingdom."

"This woman fled to the Southern Ridge and lived in hiding. She did not do anything heinous. However, back then, the Nine Heavens Saint issued a death order that no one related to the Heavenly Demon Sect should be spared."

"In an accident, the Supreme Response Sect learned of her identity and demanded that the Heavenly Peak Master execute this woman and the child she bore. Tell me, which husband could bring himself to do that?"

"The Heavenly Peak Master pleaded for mercy many times, but was refused each time. In the end, in order to protect his wife and children, he chose to resist with force. I've told you what happened after that," Lin Aoxue said.

What happened next was quite simple. This peak master was suppressed by the Supreme Response Sect and imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Prison. His wife was killed in the battle, but his child was spared.

Finally, following the cultivators from Tianren Peak, they left the Taishang Ganying Sect and went to the Southern Region.

"Lin Junxian, could he be the descendant of this peak master and that demonic sect woman?" Ye Liuyun couldn't help but ask after hearing Lin Aoxue's words.

Lin Aoxue sighed heavily.

“Yes, our ancestor Lin Junxian was that child, so our Lin family are the descendants of the Heavenly Peak Master. Alas! Thousands of years of grudges, I don’t know whose fault it really is,” Lin Aoxue said.

Ye Liuyun and Ye Liuyun exchanged glances, finding it difficult to answer this question. After all, it happened thousands of years ago. At most, they could only say that the Taishang Ganying Sect was too ruthless and too obedient to the orders of the Holy Land.

However, you can't say he's wrong.

Lin Junxian also had sufficient reason to deal with the Supreme Response Sect. However, the Heavenly Sect never intended to betray the Supreme Response Sect. The reason they hid so many powerful cultivators was simply to break free from the control of the Supreme Response Sect.

Who knew that things would eventually come to light? Anyway, everyone had their own problems.

The news about Tianren Peak left everyone feeling somewhat depressed. After all, the main peak had been suppressed and exiled by other factions because of this incident.

They always felt that there was something unknown about this, but in reality, these things had long since disappeared with the passing of the previous generation of Tianyi's ancestors.

When this happened, Tianyi Patriarch and the others were not in charge of the sect, but were just disciples. However, the siege of Tianzong was indeed carried out by Tianyi Patriarch and his generation.

Chapter 361 Substituting Inferior Goods for Superior Products (6000 words)

As for Lin Junxian's matter, it can only be said that the Taishang Ganying Sect did not intend to kill Lin Junxian, but only wanted to capture Lin Junxian and bring him back to the Taishang Ganying Sect.

Unfortunately, Lin Junxian refused to comply and even killed several Nascent Soul experts from the Supreme Response Sect. In addition, he also killed the Nascent Soul cultivators he had killed after his resurrection last time.

In other words, at least eight Nascent Soul cultivators from the Supreme Response Sect died at his hands. Therefore, this matter can no longer be described as a matter of gratitude or resentment. Even if there was no great enmity to begin with, these events have turned them into mortal enemies.

"Is it that complicated? But when you came to the Supreme Response Sect, did you really not think at all about seeking justice for your Lin family ancestors?" Ye Liuyun asked again.

Based on her understanding of Lin Aoxue, Lin Aoxue would definitely not fight to the death with the Taishang Ganying Sect over a grudge from a thousand years ago; that wouldn't fit her personality.

Secondly, in Lin Aoxue's view, there is no real right or wrong in this matter; it can only be blamed on the way the world is.

To give an example, if they were still on Earth, over the past thousand years, these grudges would be those that occurred during the Tang Dynasty.

If everyone were to dwell on such grudges, then it could be said that there are no families on Earth that are not enemies. This is why Lin Aoxue never even considered revenge.

However, Ye Liuyun also understood that Lin Aoxue was the kind of person who would repay kindness if she received it, and it was impossible for her to do nothing.

In fact, when Junxian passed on his legacy to Lin Aoxue, he instructed her that if she had the chance, she must seek justice for the Lin family.

Although Lin Aoxue did not want revenge, she still wanted to get justice. As for how to do it, Lin Aoxue would do it in her own way, not by fighting and killing.

For example, wouldn't it be easier to seek justice from the Supreme Response Sect after she has established herself firmly or broken through to the Nirvana Realm?

"Don't worry about this matter. I have my own way of handling it. The grudge is too old for me to pursue, but justice will be served if the opportunity arises," Lin Aoxue said.

Ye Liuyun chuckled upon hearing this. She wasn't worried that Lin Aoxue would do anything impulsive.

Time passed slowly, and soon they arrived outside the cultivation market of the Taishang Ganying Sect.

"Wow! It's huge! This place is almost as big as Tianyi City." Ye Liuyun exclaimed as he looked at the cultivator market in front of him.

In order to allow these participants to experience the power and prosperity of the Taishang Ganying Sect.

They arranged accommodations for the participants around the disciples' market, making it convenient for them to visit the market and then travel to other factions for assessments.

By the way, those who lost have already arrived at the cultivation market ahead of them.

However, the cultivation market of the Supreme Response Sect is no ordinary place; it is a city in itself, very large, capable of accommodating over a million cultivators.

"Wow, hahaha, is this the cultivation market of the Supreme Response Sect? It's magnificent! Our Yunxia Sect's market can't even compare to a single street here." The Yunxia Sect disciples, who had been teleported here earlier, exclaimed in amazement.

By the way, Yun Yun and the others were also invited. They came directly in through the teleportation array of Tianyi City.

However, the teleportation channel in Tianyi City is not open to outsiders; only members of the four sects in the Southern Region and their own disciples can pass through it.

"Sect Master, can we stay here for three days?" Nalan Yan asked happily.

Nalan Yan was eliminated in the second round. There was nothing she could do; her aptitude was simply not good enough. However, after Ye Liuyun's guidance, Nalan Yan's alchemy aptitude improved significantly, and she might be able to participate in the Medicine Peak's entrance examination.

“That’s right. We are qualified to enter because we are affiliated with the Supreme Response Sect. Other sects, except for those who pass the second stage, do not have this privilege,” Yun Yun said with a smile.

As they spoke, they went to the shops along the market street to look at the goods inside.

Even from outside the shop, they could feel powerful energy emanating from it.

These should be energy fluctuations from treasures; there are quite a few Xuan-rank treasures among them.

"Such a strong energy fluctuation! Sect Master, why don't we go in and take a look?" a disciple suggested.

Yun Yun originally brought her disciples here to broaden their horizons, so naturally they couldn't just wander around aimlessly. Even if they couldn't afford to buy anything, they could at least go in and learn something.

But they were stopped before they could go in.

Suddenly, two Taishang Ganying Sect monks standing at the entrance blocked the way.

"Stop! There are too many visitors today. No entry without a purchase." The disciples of the Taishang Ganying Sect at the entrance rudely stopped Yun Yun and her group.

These words immediately displeased the Yunxia Sect members.

Because they've never heard of a shop where you can't enter unless you buy something. If you don't let people in, they can't see what's inside, so how can they know whether they want to buy or not?

“Fellow Daoist, aren’t you being a bit hasty in your words? We haven’t even gone inside, we don’t know what’s inside, how do you know we’re not here to buy anything?” He Zhi Qiu asked unhappily.

Upon hearing this, the two disciples of the Taishang Ganying Sect immediately raised their heads and said disdainfully.

"Hmph! Your auras are so weak, and judging by your cultivation levels, the highest one is only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm. You must be from some small sect in the Southern Region. You'd be lucky to have a million spirit coins. Look here, all the goods here start at 100,000 spirit coins. Do you have that much money?"

The disciple of the Taishang Ganying Sect pointed to the sign next to the shop.

It's clearly stated here: the price of the cheapest item in this shop. If you don't plan to buy anything, or don't have the money, don't go in.

Of course, this is not the usual practice; it's just that these past few days, some shops have set rules to restrict entry to those who cannot afford to buy.

This rule is actually quite disrespectful. The disciples of the Supreme Response Sect have a great sense of superiority over the cultivators from the Southern Region. They consider the cultivators from those poor, remote areas of the Southern Region to be poor ghosts.

Most of the cultivators who have this idea are local cultivators from the Northern Region. The Northern Region is full of sects, and in fact, sects of the same level are not necessarily as wealthy as those in the Southern Region.

In the Northern Region, only five major sects are truly wealthy, and their resources are strictly divided up, unlike in the Southern Region, where if I have the ability, I can rob others.

As the head of a sect, Yun Yun could easily spend several million if she really wanted to buy it; it just depends on whether it's necessary.

"You? A mere 100,000 spirit coins, do you think we can't come up with that?" He Zhi Qiu's lips twitched.

But just as he was about to say something, Yunyun immediately stopped him.

"Never mind, Yunqiu, since we're not welcome here, let's go look somewhere else," Yunyun said calmly.

She turned and left after she finished speaking.
