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

Yun Yun thought about it and realized that it was true. After all, Ye Liuyun had revealed his identity as an alchemist during the formal assessment not long ago.

"What level of alchemist is she? How does she possess such miraculous pills? I'm not saying she shouldn't give them to her disciples, I'm just very curious about what kind of pills she gave to the disciples present," Yun Yun said.

However, Nalan Yan shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either. She genuinely didn't know and wasn't intentionally hiding anything.

Yun Yun fell into deep thought for a moment. She felt that if she wanted to figure this out, she should just ask her apprentice.

"Alright, you all get some rest. I'll take you back to the sect tomorrow. We don't need so many people here," Yun Yun said before leaving.

After they left, the male disciples began to chat amongst themselves.

"Junior Sister Ye, you look so gentle, yet you're an alchemist. Sigh! I owe you a huge favor."

"Who says otherwise? My heart melts when Junior Sister Ye talks to me."

"Ugh... Hey, don't talk so disgustingly. Please don't use your filthy mind to fantasize about filthy things."

The disciples lying in their tents started arguing amongst themselves.

It can only be said that Ye Liuyun left an indelible impression on them, an impression that was not one of desire, but rather one of respect.

It is perfectly reasonable to respect someone who saves your life; to disrespect someone who saves your life is to be a complete scoundrel.

Ye Liuyun knew that what she was doing would definitely attract the attention of the sect, but using worthless items to make these senior brothers and sisters indebted to her might help Lin Aoxue quickly increase her support among the sect disciples.

As for the disciples of the Zixia Sect, Ye Liuyun felt that the goodwill he showed today would surely bear fruit in the future. It's always better to have more friends than more enemies; this was Ye Liuyun's own thought.

Chapter 53 Returning to the Sect

The next day, early in the morning.

Yun Yun then summoned all the disciples of the Spirit Stream Realm and instructed them to take the wounded and return to the sect with her in a magical flying ship.

There's no point in them staying here; the purpose of this trip was to bring them out to experience real bloodshed and violence.

To put it bluntly, it's about boosting their courage. The sect can't be left unattended, and these wounded soldiers will need to recuperate after they return.

While on the boat, Yun Yun suddenly called Lin Aoxue aside to her side.

"Aoxue, I have a question for you," Yun Yun said softly, glancing at Ye Liuyun in the distance.

Lin Aoxue was taken aback.

"Master, what's all the fuss about?" Lin Aoxue looked around and noticed that her master seemed to be deliberately avoiding the crowd, which meant that what she was about to tell her was no small matter.

"Then I'll be frank. Your sister is an alchemist, you must know that, right? But I'm very curious, do you know what kind of alchemist she is?" Yun Yun told Lin Aoxue about Ye Liuyun's treatment of the wounded yesterday.

Lin Aoxue was startled after hearing this. She hadn't expected Yun Yun to come and ask about this matter. However, after thinking for a moment, Lin Aoxue simply shook her head at Yun Yun.

“Master, it’s true that my sister is an alchemist, but I don’t know if she is very skilled in alchemy. I never ask about her private affairs. After all, everyone has secrets. I only told her about the cultivation method you passed on to me after I came to the sect,” Lin Aoxue replied.

Yun Yun calmly watched her apprentice. Seeing Lin Aoxue speak so calmly and without any fluctuation in her eyes, she knew that Lin Aoxue really didn't know about this matter. However, judging from Lin Aoxue's reaction, she should know something about it, but just not the specifics.

Yun Yun fell into deep thought. If Ye Liuyun was a very skilled alchemist, then their Yunxia Sect would definitely cultivate him with great effort and could not let his talent go to waste. So she was considering whether to ask Lin Aoxue to ask Ye Liuyun.

However, just as she was struggling with this, Lin Aoxue said something that dispelled her idea of ​​getting to the bottom of it.

“Master, you don’t need to worry about her. Although she has a secret, it will never harm the sect. As long as I am still in the Yunxia Sect and still a disciple of the Yunxia Sect, she will never have any disloyal intentions. So Master, you don’t need to worry about anything.” Lin Aoxue could tell that Yun Yun had her own ideas.

Yun Yun thought for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

"This? Okay, you're right, I'll listen to you." Yun Yun nodded.

Because she could see that Lin Aoxue's relationship with Ye Liuyun was definitely better than her relationship with Yunxia Sect. And since Lin Aoxue was the future successor of Yunxia Sect, even if Ye Liuyun had some great abilities, he would definitely be used by Yunxia Sect in the future.

Therefore, she didn't need to find out Ye Liuyun's situation.

Sometimes, getting to the bottom of things only arouses others' resentment and suspicion.

After Lin Aoxue finished talking with Yun Yun, she immediately went to tell Ye Liuyun. Ye Liuyun was not surprised when he learned that Yun Yun had asked Lin Aoxue about his situation.

"I knew this would arouse her suspicion, but don't worry, Aoxue. As long as Yunxia Sect treats you well, I will always be a disciple of Yunxia Sect. But if one day they treat you badly, that's a different story." Ye Liuyun rarely showed such a serious expression.

Lin Aoxue knew that Ye Liuyun's words were not just empty talk, and she suddenly realized that she had to take the position of sect leader. Only by securing the position could she guarantee the safety of herself and Ye Liuyun.

During her conversation with Yun Yun, she could sense that Yun Yun had her own thoughts, which might not be good for her and Ye Liuyun. So, as she said before, in this world, she could not completely trust anyone except Ye Liuyun.

Even Yun Yun, who has almost no flaws in her, must remain vigilant.

Having experienced the two conflicts yesterday, she gradually came to understand that this world is cruel, and that cultivation sects are capable of doing many things that are risky and disregard the opinions of others for their own benefit.

After taking those pills from Ye Liuyun, she realized that Ye Liuyun was very valuable. If these pills could be used by the Yunxia Sect, then the strength of the Yunxia Sect would definitely reach a new level.

This is Ye Liuyun's value, but once the fact that Ye Liuyun is skilled in alchemy is made public, she will surely face endless troubles.

Therefore, the best approach is to hide as much as possible. If hiding is not an option, then other methods should be considered to ensure one's safety.

"I know, but Liu Yun, you can be more discreet about your pill-making in the future. However, if possible, you can showcase your alchemy talent. This will gradually improve your status in the Yunxia Sect. As long as it's not too exaggerated, it's a good thing," Lin Aoxue said.

Lin Aoxue's words reminded Ye Liuyun that as long as she controlled her alchemy skills slightly and kept them within the range that a normal person could understand, then everything would be fine.

"Okay, I understand. We'll do it your way." Ye Liuyun nodded.

That was the end of their conversation.

Not long after, the magical artifact spaceship entered the Yunxia Sect and landed on the Yunxia Sect's martial arts arena. Yun Yun instructed the disciples to take the wounded to the sect's medicine refining pavilion, where there was a special place for the wounded to rest.

The disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion had already returned ahead of time. After all, the Alchemy Pavilion was a forbidden area and needed to be managed, so Yunxiao, who was in charge of the Alchemy Pavilion, led all his disciples back to the Alchemy Pavilion.

Ye Liuyun was also a disciple of the Alchemy Pavilion, so he naturally stayed in the Alchemy Pavilion to take care of the wounded. At the same time, the pavilion also issued a large number of alchemy tasks.

Yesterday's battle consumed a lot of their pills, and they need to replenish them in case of emergency. This also presents Ye Liuyun with another opportunity to earn contribution points.

So she took on a lot of tasks, but after accepting them, she wondered whether she should attract Yunxiao's attention.

How to attract Yunxiao's attention? It's simple. As long as Ye Liuyun deliberately improves the quality of the pills, it will definitely attract Yunxiao's attention.

Who knows, Yunxiao might take her as his disciple, and she could become a personal disciple, whose treatment would definitely be better than that of an ordinary disciple.

"Let's do it this way." After making up his mind, Ye Liuyun chose to reveal part of his alchemy skills.

Lin Qingyou had no objections, since it was Ye Liuyun's own choice, and Ye Liuyun wouldn't die anyway, so she had nothing to worry about.

Ye Liuyun began taking on a large number of tasks from the Alchemy Pavilion. At her alchemy speed, it probably wouldn't be long before she used up all the materials in the Alchemy Pavilion.

But this was Ye Liuyun's own skill. The rules of the Alchemy Pavilion stipulated that one pill could be used to obtain one set of medicinal materials, and she could use one set of medicinal materials to refine ten pills.

In other words, what would normally require ten portions of medicinal herbs can be accomplished with just one portion. Why not? The saved herbs can be used to develop new types of elixirs.

As time passed, Ye Liuyun officially became a mission maniac, taking on missions almost every few days. Her mission completion speed was much faster than before. Previously, she had deliberately held back to avoid arousing suspicion, but after talking with Lin Aoxue, she didn't plan to hold back for too long.

Chapter 54 Revealing One's True Colors

The medicinal materials in the Alchemy Pavilion are becoming increasingly scarce, especially for some essential pills for the Sea of ​​Wheels Realm, such as the Spirit Gathering Pill, Spirit Fusion Pill, Spirit Transformation Pill, and Earth Spirit Pill. The materials for these four types of pills are almost gone in no time.

The medicinal herbs are running low, and the disciple guarding the materials pavilion will definitely have to report this to Elder Yunxiao, the person in charge of the alchemy pavilion.

Elder Yunxiao was a middle-aged man who looked very refined and gave the impression of a scholar. He was checking the recent amount of pills stored in the pill storage room.

"Is the pill production these past few days pretty good? In just four or five days, it seems like the pill production is even higher than in the previous few months. Could it be that all the disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion are stepping up their pill refining efforts?" Yunxiao asked, looking at the bottles and jars in front of him.

After saying that, he picked up a large bottle of pills labeled "Gathering Spirit Pill" from the table with some confusion.

This pill bottle is interesting; it's several times larger than other pill bottles, and it can probably hold hundreds of Spirit Gathering Pills. It's hard not to attract Yunxiao's attention.

Yunxiao curiously opened the medicine bottle and took a look. Well, what he saw startled him.

"Eh? This pill?" Yunxiao quickly used his magic to draw a Spirit Gathering Pill from the medicine bottle and examined it carefully in his palm.

The disciple guarding the storage room immediately tensed up when he saw Yunxiao suddenly adopt such a serious expression.

"This? Master, is there something wrong with this pill?" the disciple asked doubtfully.

Yunxiao did not answer immediately, but looked at the pill with a look of surprise, because the pill was filled with a very strong pill light. Even he could not refine a Spirit Gathering Pill of such high quality.

"Who refined this pill?" Yunxiao asked with great curiosity.

The disciple shook his head. He was only responsible for accepting the pills sent over from the mission platform, so he certainly didn't know which alchemy room made them. However, there had indeed been several strange pill bottles in the past few days.

Each time the pill bottle was delivered, it was a large bottle containing a hundred pills. When he received it, he was puzzled. Who would store pills in such a large bottle and specially refine a hundred pills before delivering it?

Seeing that the other party didn't know, Yunxiao picked up several other large medicine bottles and looked at the pills inside. He was more and more surprised as he looked. There were six large medicine bottles containing one hundred pills each.

Inside were six large porcelain bottles containing six hundred pills: a low-grade white-rank Gathering Spirit Pill, a mid-grade white-rank Fusion Spirit Pill, a high-grade white-rank Transformation Spirit Pill, a top-grade white-rank Earth Spirit Pill, as well as a low-grade white-rank Hemostatic Pill and a mid-grade white-rank Blood-Activating Pill for healing.

Moreover, the quality of these pills is very high, clearly made by a single alchemist. What Yunxiao cares about is not the pills themselves, but their high quality. The luster of these pills is the best among all similar pills he has ever seen.

Yunxiao was just about to go to the mission distribution platform to ask, since the disciples there who received the pills would definitely know, when a disciple came over before he even left the storage room.

"Master, the regular materials in the material storage room are running low and need to be replenished. Otherwise, we'll only have enough for three days at most, and then we'll be out of supplies," the disciple said respectfully.

This puzzled Yunxiao again. The materials they had purchased from Yunhai City just a week ago should have been enough for three months. Even with all the disciples of the Alchemy Pavilion working on alchemy these past few days, they should still have enough for another month. But the current situation is that they are about to run out in less than a week.

"Impossible! These materials were purchased a week ago, how could they be all used up? You must be mistaken!" Yunxiao asked, looking puzzled.

"Master, we're really running out of supplies. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself." The disciple said in great fear.

He was afraid that Yunxiao would accuse him of embezzling funds.

Yunxiao thought for a moment, then hurriedly went to the medicinal herb storage room. After entering, the disciple immediately led Yunxiao to the storage compartment where the materials for refining the essential pills for cultivators were stored. Yunxiao opened the drawer and saw that there were indeed only a few days' worth left.

The other drawers were the same, because the herbs inside were all used to refine regular pills, and the daily consumption was not small.

"So much has been consumed? What's going on?" Yunxiao checked the other drawers where medicinal herbs were stored.

The result was that all the common medicinal materials were abnormally scarce, or rather, the rate of consumption of medicinal materials was very abnormal.

"This? Master, I have noticed something very unusual, but I don't know if I should say it or not," the disciple distributing the medicinal herbs said.

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao immediately asked him to explain in detail.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" Yunxiao gestured.

The disciple only spoke in detail after receiving Yunxiao's orders.

“Recently, I’ve noticed that a junior sister has been frequently coming to me to collect medicinal herbs, and each time the amount is quite large. Sometimes she comes twice a day, and sometimes once a day. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but now it seems that the significant reduction in regular medicinal herbs is probably related to this junior sister,” the disciple explained.

Upon hearing this, Yunxiao quickly gestured to the disciple distributing the materials to go with him to the mission distribution platform.

This investigation led them to Ye Liuyun.

"Ye Liuyu? You mean the one who takes on so many missions is Aoxue's sister, the girl who used pills in public on the martial arts stage last time?" Yunxiao was very surprised after learning who it was.

“Master, it’s her, Junior Sister Ye. She’s incredibly fast at refining pills. To be honest, I don’t even know how she does it. She used to come a few times a month, but now it’s twice a day. Each time she has a huge workload, but she completes it perfectly every time. In just a few days, she’s completed the workload for dozens of people, equivalent to a month’s worth of tasks.” The disciple who posted the task explained.

After hearing this, Yunxiao was shocked. He finally understood that the person who stored the pills in the huge medicine bottle was Ye Liuyu.

"Interesting. This little girl has been hiding her talents quite well. She's actually a genius at alchemy? Since you discovered something so strange, why didn't you tell your master sooner?" Yunxiao suddenly asked angrily.

However, the disciple who issued the task was wronged.

"Master, I already reported this to Senior Sister. Didn't Senior Sister tell you?" the disciple asked hurriedly.

Yunxiao was taken aback again. It was strange that his eldest disciple hadn't told him about such an important matter. He felt that there might be some secret hidden in it.

As for Ye Liuyun, she was still focused on refining medicine, but she knew that Yunxiao would come looking for her soon.

Yunxiao first went to call Nalan Yan over.

After learning that her master had asked her about Ye Liuyun, Nalan Yan no longer hid anything and told Yunxiao about Ye Liuyun's extraordinary talent in alchemy.

Nalan Yan felt that this kind of thing was not suitable for everyone to know. If Ye Liuyun was really a genius at alchemy, then their Yunxia Sect should try their best to prevent this matter from spreading.

"I see. So you only know that this girl has extraordinary alchemy skills, but you don't know the specifics?" Yunxiao asked doubtfully.

“Yes, Master, the Sect Master should already know, but strangely, she hasn’t asked about it,” Nalan Yan added.

Yunxiao wasn't an idiot; after thinking about it carefully for a moment, he knew what Yunyun's attitude was.

Chapter 55 A Deal

However, Yunxiao felt that Ye Liuyun had intentionally made him aware of it, since according to Nalan Yan's intentions, Ye Liuyun was not like this before.

He hadn't openly revealed his talent for alchemy before, but it suddenly came to light in the last few days. There must be a reason for this.

After thinking for a while, Yunxiao smiled knowingly.

"I see. Yan'er, go and call Ye Liuyu over here," Yunxiao said to Nalan Yan.

Nalan Yan saw that her master had a knowing look on his face and was slightly puzzled, but she did not ask any questions. Instead, she followed Yunxiao's advice and went to the alchemy room where Ye Liuyun was.

As for Ye Liuyun, she was surrounded by medicinal herbs and pills. She had refined two more bottles of pills today and was about to hand them in for the mission.
